Important Changes at Colgate.

HAMILTON, N. T., Feb. 5.-Colgate university has heretofore restricted the elective system to the two upper years in college, but at a meeting of the fac ulty it has been decided to extend the system through the sophomore years also. The only subjects now required of all men after the freshman year are physiology, public speaking and gym nastics. It was also provided at the same meeting that graduates of Col gate university of three years stand ing whose work is specially deserving of recognition may petition the uni versity for a masters degree in absen- tia, the requirements for this degree being the same as for masters degree in residence, except taking a year lon ger to complete it. Work for degree in absentia must be done under the close supervision of the heads of vari- ous departments and all examinations taken as if in the university.

NO INSULTS OFFERED.
Lieutenant Shepherd Speaks We'll of
 His Trip to This City.


 Lieutenant Shepherd, who, it will be remembered, went to Waterbury on Monday forenoon with squad of men of the First regiment and the signal corps, who missed going with the troops under the command of Colonel Schulze, says the Hartford Times, and with those who went on later train, related his experience in Waterbury. He said he got into Waterbury With about eighty men, he having picked up some at New Britain and Bristol. It was noon, and he marched with his men through the streets to Colonel Schulze's headquarters. The streets through which he passed were crowd ed with men, employed in the shops, going to dinner. Neither he nor his men were in any way molested, and not a jeering or insulting remark was made by the citizens. The city had, very peaceful appearance, and it looked to him as if the timely action of Governor Chamberlain had nipped the disposition to riot in the bud. He said he had no reason to look for the disturbance which occurred in the evening. When he turned his com 'mand over to Colonel Schulze and told the colonel that he was subject to his orders, to stay on duty in Waterbury or to return home, Colonel Schulze in formed him that he did not need the services of any more officers and told him to return to Hartford. On his way to the railroad station alone, Lieu tenant Shepherd, wearing his uniform as an officer. of the naval battalion, was obliged to pass large number of working people, not one of whom of fered him the slightest insult. Not being acquainted with the streets he inquired of some men, whose shabby appearance and unwashed faces made them appear like veritable "Weary Willies'' or Prayed Fagans," the di- rection to the depot. They very DO litely directed him and showed a friendly feeling.

BEFORE BOARD OF CHARITIES.
woman Whose Husband Thought, He
Would Get Rich Quick.


 An instance of the kind of imposition practiced upon Italian laborers was brought to light here to-day when Mrs Frank GaIdini called at the once OF the board of charities and asked asslst- ance during the absence or her nus band, who. is now in jail somewhere H. Pennsylvania. She said she MVes aC IS Hawkins street and not Delns aple to pay the rent or purchase ahylhilfs to eat she was obliged to come to tue town. Her husband was empIoyeu III the clock shop until a couple of Ihohlhs ago. when he was d1scharged OH ac- count of lie some of ms shopnlates fold of him. While he was lookl1S up another job he saw an adVernseIletHit in a newspaper stating that there was lots of work for men i'll aofK f1aVell' Pa. at S150 per day, and requestins applicants to address certain place HI New York. He didFso and recelVed very encouraging reply lie was au- yised to look up as many others as he could find and report as soon as possl- hle and that after he got to 1orK f1a- ven he would see that he was mace a section boss on the big railroad proJect on hand there. The woman dldIlt say whether her husband had succeeded or tried to induce others to accompany him, but she did know to her sorrow fha+ he went himself and when he reached York Haven he was ophgeu fo nay the fellow that got him the JOD s1 for bis service and $6 for car fare. To make the situation worse. all tee nav tha company would give was S1.'55 nor day. When the crowd learned tnaf they had been duped they refused to work and demanded that the money tbev had paid the boss be returned, hut they couldn't get it. This led to disturbance and some of the hot-head- cd ones in the crowd threw stones at the construction car and did some dam age. The lawbreakers then took to their heels. The rest of the men held a meeting and concluded to lay the facts before the local authorities. A committee was appointed, one of which happened to be the Hawkins street man. On the way into town the com mittee was met by a sheriff's posse and placed under arrest. Later they were tried and bound over under bonds of $500 each.
 man who accompanied the woman said he was we'll acquainted with her husband and that he was an honest, industrious fellow. He had lived here for some time and was doing nicely About year ago he bought S200 worth of furniture on the instalLment plan and had SIP of the amount paid. Ac- cording to the contract the dealer. can take possession of all the household effects provided the balance is not cleared up within certain time. The woman has a 3 months old baby and cannot go out to earn anything.
 Mir Doran said he would send the woman and child to the Brookside home and suggested that her friends make an effort to pay the balance due on the furniture and take their chances of getting their money when her bus hand returns. Whether they will dc this or not the man did not say. but il they don't the family win lose all.

COAL STRIKE COMMISSION.
Interesting Incidents During the
 Rebutta1 Hearings.

ReDuttaA Hearings.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5.-Several interesting incidents occurred during yesterdays sessions of the anthracite coal strike commission. The morning session was enlivened by the rigid cross examination of H. D. Newcomb, a sta- tistician of the Reading company, by Attorney DarrnW for the miners and the spirited passages between tine law. yer and the witness. Several times Chairman Gray felt impelled to inter- fere in behalf of the witness, admon- ishing counsel to be less severe in his criticism of MT. Newcomb's statements and figures. The witness during the course of his examination said he ap- peared to be giving kindergarten les son, and the miners attorney said, ITO whom; the commission?"
 No; to you," replied the witness. T doubt if you are even qualified to do that" was the lawyers response.
 Later in the day MT. Darrow ex- pressed his regrets to the commission for some of his remarks.
 At the afternoon session counsel for the operators intimated that the other o1oC WdS CltOCSlNOIIuSs IO OICdh 1to agreement with the operators regard ing the basis of percentage in arriving at definite conclusion as to the earn ings of contract miners. Numerous wit nesses have testified that the operators statements presented to the commis- sion show only the gross earnings of the contract miners and fail to account for the division of the money with the helpers. Counsel for the companies ad- mitted that the books accounted for the wages paid to the contract miners only, as the helpers were paid by the min CTS.
 This fact having previously. been l stated to the commission and an agree ment having been reached by both sides as to the manner of making de- ductions in order to learn as near as possible the actual earnings of the miners, the operators counsel charac- terized as farcical the calling of so many witnesses tQ attack the compa- ! nies' figures.
