Plain Names But Lofty Titles.

The duke of Tetuan was properly
impressive title for Spanish govern
ment minister, though it covered the
personality Of an Irishman named
ODonnell. His title came from the
fact that his father, in the Spanish
service. captured the Moorish city of
Tetuan. This was in 1859, and two
years later the sultan of Morocco ran
somed the city for 100000. .00O-a
rather large sum for Mohammedan
town of $4,000 people. In this connec-
ton it is recalled that the Emin Bey
subsequently called Emin Pasha, who
figured SO prominently in British mill
tary operations in Egypt and the Up
per Nile country few years ago, was
an Austrian named Ed Schnitzler.

Foolish Fears,

1t seems to us that some of the col
lege presidents are permitting their
apprehensiveness to get the better of
them when they express the fact that
the colleges will be studentless in a
few years unless the graduates raise
families and send their boys to alma
mater. 1t is easy to demonstrate that
any healthy boy can be taught a class
yell in fifteen minutes, if proper pa,
tience and ingenuity are exercised.
