MUST BE UNDER LAWS BAN.
social Club at Yale In Which All
Members Must Have been
Under Arrcst

The annual banquets Of what is
known as the Criminal club, of Yale
university, are to be revived this year,
after having lapsed into desuetude for
considerable time, The announce
ment has revealed to many the exist
ence of perhaps the most peculiar So
cial organization in existence in the
collegiate world. According to the
New York Sun, membership has never
been based on the social or financial
status Of the students taken. nor have
men been taken into the fold becouse
OF their prominence in the world Of
athletics, literature or debating. The
one requirement has been that the
proselyte shall have been arrested and
taken into the tolls Of the law, wheth-
er guilty or innocent Of tho offense
with which he stood charged often
to secure membership in this exclu-
sive, yet thoroughly democratic club,
students have violated the law and
then calmly awaited the coming Of the
police, as usual nonpresent at the time,
and permitted themselves 20 be taken
into custody. More often the men have
been cought red-handed, without be-
ing able to escape the bluecoats. From
year to year the club has increased
in numerical strength, this depending
wholly on the law-breaking proeliv-
titles Of the undergraduate in college at
the time, At present the club num-
bers 100 members.
The annual bNuquets have long
held prominent place in undergrad
uate life. Where and when these
feasts are held Is never known to
the uninitiated until long afterward.
Usually, however, they are given In
the grillroom OF some student cafe
In New Haven, or at hotel at some
Of the nearby shore resorts The
men assemble individually, and never
in conspicuous throngs Every ef-
fort is made to avoid publicity. The
dinners or banquets begin at night,
and end IN the "wee sma' hours. The
men are ranged about the festive
board In the order Of their criminality
that is, they sit near or far from
the head Of the table as the crimes for
which they were arrested were great
or small Usually, although the rule
is often violated. the man who has
done the most daring crime, given the
cops the greatest battle, or who has
incurred the greatest punishment,
heads the table and acts az toystmas-
ter. Toasts of the following kind are
responded TO; Policemen Have

may reasonably have conceived that in the cabinet he would be the right man in the right place-much as a policeman is useful in a house 1t is known a burglar intends to effect an entry into it, and that the cook nourishes a tender fancy for him.
 However, the dukes position became quite untenable after Mir. Balfour's head long plunge into protectionist policy at Sheffield It is clear that the line MT. Balfour adopted was a complete surprise to the duke, an entire departure from what he had been led to expect. He had hoped, he says, to find in the speech a definite statement of adherence to the principles of free trade as the ordinary basis of our fiscal system and as an equally definite repudation of the prin- eiples of protection in the interest of our national industries. But. like others of his late colleagues. the Duke of Devon shire has at length discovered that MT. Balfour is not to be trusted, and he has. therefore, prudently severed his connec- tion with this very slippery gentleman. MT Balfours modification at the resig- nation Is visible in every sentence of the letter in which he accepted it. It is an exhibition of feminine fury which should finally put an end to this philoso- pher's reputation for urbanity.

How Sir Michael Herbert Was Regarded in Paris-Octave Mirbeau the CIramatist.

CT. Like every Herbert that ever knew, Sir Michael was a thorough gentleman in the old-fashioned sense, and in that re- spect he might have matched with Sir Philip Sidney. Entering young the diplo- matic profession, Sir Michael Herbert had, at the time I speak of. Wide ex- perience of courts and capitals. He need ed a little ''drawing" to be led into speak, ing about the doings at the former, and could give neatly graphic accounts of them I asked him sometimes for me dallion' for my collection. by which I meant verbal portrait, say, of the Czar, the Sultain, or Queen Margaret. His medallions came from the die, beautifully clear and sharp, but perhaps wanting in relief.
 Lady Herbert made a conquest of Sir Michael when he served as first secre- tary of the legation at Washington. She belonged to the thickly- glded set of the Vahderbilts. Goelets and Wilson's, her own name being Wilson, and her sister, Mrsy Cornelius Vanderbilt. thought her manners and person extremely pleasing. She liked to please and to manifest an obliging, amiable disposition. One rarely meets lady of style in the diplomatic world so winsome. Her cheerful spirits seemed to animate her toilette. Big pearls and diamonds became her. but she used them with discretion. Her social prestige

We often dined in the same house, and often sat next to him at table. He had a good judgment on most topics that sprang up in the course of conversation, and refined way of looking at the per- sonages then to the fore. delicate touch In handling them, and sincerity in his criticism If well aware of the infirmi- ties of human nature, and of the red tooth and the claw of nature, he had taste for heroism and the poetic side of life. Without being at all morbid, he had delicate sensibilities. and might have judged things by his feelings had his judgment not been directed by good sense. Though he looked so much the Englishman of the time of Queen Eliza beth; and had head that would have gone we'll with ruff. he was Anglo Russian in having a Russian grandmes,

adas the growth of a lusty nation which will at no distant day consider the ad- visibility of going into business on its own account. All said and done the Alaska affair is one more incident upon which to raise the question: Twill impe- rialism prove a policy strong enough to bind in permanent union the detached members of the empire with hteir widely separated interests?" It is now dawning on the strongest minds that the imperial idea Is more important to the mother country than to her lusty children. Aus tralia.

 The resignation of the Duke of Devon- shire seals the fate of MT. Balfour's ad- ministration. Already tottering to It's fall, 1t must now como down with crash. The slender hope that the pre- mier had of little longer lease of office was wholly based upon the continuance in his cabinet of the only statesman re- malning there whose presence. as the Standard says. afforded the nation some guarantee against dangerous innovations and ill-consdered measures. Months ago fault was found with the duke and other free trade ministers for having consented to an inquiry into our fiscal system. as this, it was thought, might give some sort of official recognition to the scheme of the then colonial secretary, and open the door to his intrigues. But the duke was right He did not resign. he said. in the full and certain conviction that the inquiry would confirm him and the coun- try in their fidelity to free trade. And, he evidently thoughtful well that stall wart free trader should stay in the cab inet to see that there was no treachery in connection with the inquiry. During the past two or three weeks, the duke has again been criticized for failing to resign with Mir. Ritchle and the other free trade ministers. But 1t is easy to understand his reasons for remaining. With Mr. Chamberlain attacking free trade from the outside and MT Balfour betraying it from the inside. the duke
