College N Notes.

Middlebury lost to Bristol Athletic
association last Saturday afternoon by a
score of 6 to 5.
Bristo's pitcher successfully fooled the
college team, keeping them from making
but one base hit.
The team work of the college was on
the whole good for the first of the sea-
son, and they would have no doubt
gotten the game but for McGees good
work in the box.

Before l took hold of the matter at all, l con vinced myself. by careful study of the situation, that the public interests involved are SO important that there could not possibly be any result except the standardization of the whole stream.

VARDAMAN'S ATTITUDE.

Notwithstanding his attitude toward the negro, Governor Vard- aman of Mississippi is doing all he can to protect the colored population of his state from mob violence. Sunday he accom- panied the state troops to Bates vile, Miss, for the purpose of preventing a lynching and made every possible effort to avoid any possible outrage. Gov. Vardaman can do more to disarm his for eign critics in this way than otherwise. No matter what sen timents he may entertain con- corning the negro in the South iC is his duty to prevent mob vio- lence and to assist the officers of the law in enforcing the statutes as they find them.

 WITH COLLEAGUE.

Washington, D. c. Feb. 28. -
 As was expected both of the Senators from Arkansas support ed the ratification of the treaty when the vote was taken. Before casting his vote Senator Berry briefly outlined his views on the subject. The senior senator from Arkansas said if he believed the defeat of the treaty would re- store Columbia's sovereignty over Panama he would vote against the convention, but he declared the defeat of the treaty would be unavailing in that re- spect. Discussing the attitude of the administration, he said he belived our navy supported the revolution, and that this govern ment was responsible for the new republic, but it has been proved

DRUNKEN HUSBAND
 SHOT BY WIFE.
fexarkana Painter Shot In Self Defense Had Attempted
 Life of His Wife.

Texarkana, Feb. 29. Ben H. Dresser, a painter, was shot and instantly killed by his wife at their home or North Olive street at 5 o'clock this afternoon, the weapon used being a shotgun.
 Dresser, it is alleged, went home intoxicated and carrying the gun, with the avowed pur- pose of killing his wife. When he attempted to shoot Mrs. Dresser she grappled with him and succeeded in wrenching the weapon from his grasp. She then pushed him out of the door and 'phoned for an officer, but before the latter arrived Dresser broke in at another door. The wife warned him to stay out and presented the gun. As he con- tinued to advance the weapon was discharged, the full charge taking effect in the region of the heart.
 After a full investigation by the officers, including the coro- nor, the case was pronounced one of self-defense, and Mrs. Dresser was discharged from custody.
 The couple have three chil- dren, ranging in age from 6 to Il years.
 Mrs. Dresser insists that she did not mean to shoot, and that the gun was discharged by acci- dent.

In concluding his remarks the venerable and popular Arkan- san said: "The people of the south want the canal, therefore, I think it is the duty of southern representatives to vote for the treaty. What the people of the south want l want. {" The differ ence between the position of Senator Berry and his colleague, Senator Clarke, was very notice able to those who heard the re- marks of both; there was no praise or defense of the president or his policy in the address de livered by the senior senator, as was the case when Senator Clarke took the floor to explain his views and reason for SUD- porting the treaty.

main proposition holds good; that the
past five years have witnessed a gen.

per cent, in the average price of both
anthracite and bituminous coal. The

fallen to $1.44. From that time until

1898, when the price rose to s1.59, being
the only noteworthy exception.

THEY WANT PARKER TO SPEAK
Leaders Settle Down to Belief That
Judge Will Receive Nomination.

CHICAGO, Ill, April 5.-Walter
Wellman, in Washington special to
the Record-Herald, says:
Leading democrats here have set
tied down to the belief that Chief JUS
tice Alton B. Parker of New York, is
to be their candidate for president this
year.
Prominent democratic senators and
representatives. say the time has come
for him to declare himself on import
ant questions and to remove the one
reproach that has been heaped upon
his candidacy-the charge that he is
an unknown quantity, a blank, man
without opinions.
If one We're to undertake the study
of the psychology of the democratic
party at this present juncture, he
probably would not be far wrong in
declaring the following to be a fair
summary of the national democratic
mind:
IF we permit Hearst and Bryan to
make the nominat ton, the party will
fall to pieces. 1t will go to smash.
The nomination Of Hearst would ruin
the party utterly. 1t probably would
break the solid south and place some
Of it's electoral votes in the Roosevelt
column.
"On the other hand, if we go to the
opposite extreme and name former
President Cleveland, the Bryan peo-
vided party and disaster.
Hence there is but one thing for
man who stands halfway between the
two extremes, who Will keep the party
together man who was REGULAR
in 1896 and 1900, and who is fairly ac-
ceptable to all elements"
In this frame of mind, democracy is
turning to Justice Parker as the man
who fills the bill. President Roose-
welt and his political advisers feel so
sure Judge Parker is to be the rival
standard bearer they are already
looking up his record.
For all these reasons there is a
great desire for more definite and
satisfa Glory information as to who
