The shortening of the college to three
years to all students involves an un-
necessary sacrifice. AS usually depend
ed this policy involves no educational
principle but merely comedies a year of
liberal study to the modern demand or
haste and hurry.
"A University ought not to admit to
its professional schools students who
have not had college course of lib
eral study, or its equivalent. A mini~
mum course of two years of such study
should be insisted upon. A four years S
course shoulds not be required for the
two reasons that 1t delays too long en-
trance upon active life work and that
II does not use the time and effort of
the intending professional student to
the best advantage.
For a University to admit profess
sional students direct from the Sec
ondary schools, i5 to throw the weight
of its influence against the spirit and
ideals of college training. and to pre-
pare for the so-called learned profess
sions, large body of very imperfectly
educated men. To say that any other
procedure is undemocratIc is not only
grave misuse of words, but is to inn
ply that the universities should not
struggle to give this democracy what
1t most needs, namely, we'll educated
and highly trained professional SER

PREPARED FOR THE END.
All Thought, the Pope Included, That
Monday Night Was the Last.

Rome, July 1855 A M.-Another
morning has broken in the pathetic
scene within the simple chamber of the
vatican where Pope Leo lies dying. As
the soft light of GAVIN penetrated into
the room the pontiff whispered to his
devoted physician that he desired the
shutters of the windows to be opened
saying: - wish to see once more, per-
haps for the last time, the rays of the
sum-"
1t was just a short while after the
pope came back to consciousness from a
sleep which DR.. Lapponi had induced
by a strong dose of chloral His sleep
was so deathlike that artificial respira-
ton was continued and DR.. Lapponi ev-
cry few minutes leaned anXiously over
the couch to observe the illuStriOuS pat
lent and listen to his hardly perceptible
breathing. Pope Leo awoke wet with
perspira ton, feeble to the extreme and
his voice hardly audible
The fits of coughing had brought
pains in his chest and shoulders and,
thinking his end was now near. he said
to DR.. Lapponi: Tell me when the time
really comes" The doctor assured his
holiness that he believed the danger of
his immediate passing was ayerted for
the night and for today
These seemingly last moments OF Pope
Leo are full of solemnity. Perhaps his
last hours would be less melancholy and
sad if the august sufferer were less
conscious of the circumstances and his
mind less clear as to the duration of
time remaining to him before he enters
eternity Although his physical powers
are at the lowest ebb and his breathing
become more labored, the pOpess mind is
clear as is manifest to all around him
by his expressive words which now and
then he succeeds in uttering. The scene
is so touching that those present can
scarce restrain their tears. Count Ca

as he stood bowed beside the bed Pope
Leo laid his hand on his head with
paternal affection. saying: Take cour-
age
Shortly after 10 o'clock at night the
pontiff received the extreme JUNCTION. AT
9 O'Clock his condition seemed so hope
less that only short time apparently
remained before he would glide into his
last sleep. At Dr. Lapponi's initiative
a hasty consultation of the pope's rela-
tives, Cardinal Rampolla and other ec-
clesiastics was held, and it was decided
that extreme JUNCTION should be given.
The pontiff received the announcement
with his usual calmness, and though
scarcely able to speak audibly, he said
he knew his time had come and he was
ready to appear before the sublime tri-

most rabid Republican papers
in the state, "lets the cat out

true position in regard to Folk:
Now that the Republicans
have selected the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate (whose
nomination is almost assured)
it behooves them to cast about
within their own ranks for a
good man to run against him.
No factionist or spokesman
should be considered for that or
any other place on the state
ticket"

The defense made no cross exami-
nation of the witness.
Elsie Zehm was then called. She
is the witness whose name was placed
on the list the other day after Mr.
Graves had objected, and about whose
connection with the case there has
been some speculation. She Is IS
years old, a dresvnaker and step
neice of the dead girl.
Mr.. Graves raised objection to Miss
Zehm's telling of the relations of Ella
Mundt and Clayton Gardner but the
court overruled the objection. She
was not present at the first meeting
Of Ella and Spencer.
Referring to a telephone converse
ton with Spencer on the night before
the tragedy, when he made the en-
gagement to the go to the Cineograph
theater, she said that at that time
Ella did not like to keep the engage
ment. although she did not express
any fear to meet Spencer
Cross examination deal with the oc-
casions when witness met Ella Mundt
and Spencer together, the witness
making contradictory statements as
to the number of times she had seen
them together.
Pauline Peterson, domestic at S.
Rosenhaupt's in the same yard as the
Schulein home, said she had known
Spencer but a month prior to the
tragedy She never saw Spencer at
the Schulein home until the day of
the killing. She had seen Spencer
and Ella together at dances. She
knew of frequent meeting between the
two, but was not allowed by the
court to tell of what she had not
seen.
Referring to the tragedy the wit
ness testified:
Il was going to take Spencers' tel

door of the house with Spencer just
outside.

Miss Peterson continued on the
stand this afternoon, and her testi-
mony related to Spencer's regard for
Miss Mundt and her relations with
Clayton Gardner. She said that over
the phone on the Saturday previous
to the tragedy she heard Spencer tell
Ella, Cut that out" on her saying
that she was going to write to Gard
