When Miss May Goelet of New York
becomes the Duchess of Roxburghe,
which is to occur at an early date. it
is said she will have the biggest sort
of a social pull and may shortly be-
come one of the important personages
Of the British nobility. Her prospec-
tive husbands family is connected with
the most powerful families of England
and through marriage members of her
own family are in touch with leaders
of the highest social set. With such
connections, and many millions of
money-the latter being a very pow
erful infuence-the new American
duchess may be expected to climb very
near the top of the social ladder.

A Boston paper, defending President
Roosevelt from attacks upon him for
travelling all over the country on free
speciaI trains. says that he is merely
carrying out the policy of President
Mckinley, as he promised at Buffalo
he would do. 1t seems to be favorite
plan of the Presidents apologists to
hide him behind "McKinleys policy"

SMOKING AT WEST POINT.

The students at West Point were sur
prised and delighted the other day
when orders were read to them to the
effect that thereafter pipes and to-
baeco would be found on sale at the
cadet store, and that smoking would
be allowed in quarters during recrea-
tion hours, in the outdoor court and
on the grounds. 1t seems that this is
a reform measure that Col. Mills has
had in mind for some time. A few
weeks ago he obtained the consent of
the Secretary of War to the scheme,
and il is now in effect. Neither cigar
cites nor cigars will be sold in the cadet
store, but good pipes and good tobac-
co will be kept on hand for the accom-
mediation of the young men.
With smoking prohibited in West
Point, as in about all other colleges,
there has been a large amount of the
surreptitious smoking of cigarettes
The young men have taken their
whiffs from the coffin nails" in the
seclusion of their rooms and wherever
else the opportunity presented itself.
The prohibition did not prohibit, but
forced the students to expedents that
were disagreeable to them and to the
acquisition of the tobacco habit in it's
very worst and most dangerous form.
Under the new order of things the
students will indulge their taste for
nicotine openly and above board, TAX
ing lit in the least harmful form and
enjoying a degree of personal freedom
with respect to the matter that has
been unknown in the institution for a
long time if ever before.
In all probability there will go up a
howl from some of the temperance
workers because of the new order and
no doubt efforts will be made to have
the indulgence rescinded; but it re-
quires only common sense and un-
prejudiced view of the matter to see
that the new order is a good thing
and that its operation will be to the
benefit of the students. There is some.
thing of a parallel between this mat
| ter and that of the army canteen ii

Ex-senator PETER of Kansas has
emerged from the seclusion of his whis-

been dissolved into its original ele-

have gone back to the parties from

modestly admits that he is the father

The New York World correctly OBJ
serves that it will astonish not few
people to be told that the most valu-
able of our crops, excepting only cot
ton, corn, wheat, and hay, is eggs. The
value of the egg crop is about $780,
100000 year. All of the cattle and
hogs slaughtered in the country are
worth less, and so is the country's to-
tai yield of both gold and silver. And
yet the country does not produce all
of the eggs it consumes. Large ship
ments are made every year from Can
ada. In this section of the South the
production of eggs and poultry is very
much below the consumption. Every
year Georgia sends hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars to other states for eggs
and poultry, Notwithstanding the con-
ditions here for the industry are as faV-
orable as in any other section.
-~-s-
We learn from the Philadelphia Rec
ord that "out of 600 shipments of wine,
sausage. olive oil and other comesti-
oles which have been held up pending
investigation into their purity since
Aug. l last. only one has been refused
entry. The adulteration of eatables
and drinkables imported from Europe
seems to be exceedingly rare" Mean
while, sheltered behind our high tariff
laws, the adulteration of eatables and
drinkables in this country goes on with
devilish celebrity. 1t has been asserted,
and it is no doubt true, that seven
tents of the food products manufac-
tdred and sold in the United states con-
tain adulterants or preservatives, and
that unadulterated domestic liquors are
rare.

study or medicine this fall. Hence it
viii not be inappropriate TO call at.
tentiO1 TO the Medical Department
OF the highest OF our state schools,
the University at Columbia. Many
improvements have been made. The
Parker Memorial Hospital has only
recently been erected at a cost Of
$40, 200. Adjoining the hospital is a
clinical ampitheatre capable OF seat
ing about one hundred students and
supplied with all the necessary appar-
atus for successful clinical work
North OF the college and amphithe-
atre is the new Medical laboratory
just completed at a cost Of $1,000
Here a large amount Of labratory
apparatus is being installed, and next
year the medical course will lay more
stress on clinical and laboratory work
This with the recent addition OF one
year to the course, the course now
being four years, will, it is believed,
make the Medical Course of the Uni
versity Of Missouri the best 10 the
entire west.
These improvements are expensive
and one would naturally expect that
tuition would be raised. But such is
not the case. The tuition fee is but
$40 90 for the year. The whole
expense of a years work need not ex
coed $3.50, and $500 is a liberal allow.
