pR. PARKlN REPRESENTING TRUs- TEES OF THE CECIL RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS HAS TROUBLE WITH CUSTOM OFFICIALS.

New York, March 2.-Dr. George R. Parkin, representative of the trustees of the Cecil Rhodes scholarships, who has just arrived from England to make ar engagements for the holding of preliminary examinations in the United States and Canada, had brief encounter with the customs officers over the inspection of his baggage. The latter contained the examination papers and the inspector de- clared he must examine them. The doc tor made a vigorous protest, and Collee- tor stranahan quickly notified his deputy to desist. The examinations will be held simultaneously in this country and the Dominion, April 13, at places selected by the various committees in charge of this country, composed of the presidents of universities and colleges.
 ''Fhe trustees of the scholarship fund are now simply feeling their way" said Dr. Parkin, ''and the method nf selecting the first scholars may not be good for all time. During the last year we have been receiving suggestions on the matter of examinations from all of the leading ed- ucators in the English speaking world, and now We are trying to work out the substance of those suggestions We first want to make sure that the men who get the scholarships are qualified to enter Oxford, and the men here who pass them are qualified as competitors for one of the scholarships. This examination Is only the preliminary step, and because a man passes he does not necessarily go to OK ford. The papers are about on a grade with those used in the entrance test at Harvard except that a knowledge of Greek is required.
 America Is a world power and she must now have men with world knowl edge to represent her abroad. Oxford is the place where those men will get that training which will fit them to stand with the statesmen of other great countries"

LEFT THE TRACKS
Engine Plunged Down a II
Foot Embankment.
THREE CARS WRECKED
Armed Guards Were on the
Train Which Carries Money.

New York, May 1o-The fireman and
engineer were killed today when the fed
eral express on the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad left the tracks
while crossing the bridge at Port Chester.
The locomotive and tender plunged down
7-foot enbankment. None of the cars
went over, the breaking of the coupling
between the tender and the first car
saving the train from being carried down
into the river.
Of the six cars three were totally
wrecked. while the trucks of the other
three We're ripped out. The train was run
ming at high rate of speed and one sug
gested possible cause of the accident is
that the engineer may have died at his
post.
The wrecked train is that on which
special armed guards were carried several
ed hand of train wreckers had planned a
wreck for the purpose of robbery. Much
treasure is carried on this train. and this
fact aroused the fears of the officials of
the express company and led to the en-
ployment of special guards. On this train
the cash from the government deposito-
ries in New England is usually carried
to Washington. Because of the valuable
contents of the train detectives and armed
railroad employees surrounded the wreck
to prevent possible attempts to loot the
cars, but there was nothing discovered
to connect train wreckers with the acct

Virginia Bryant, though her heart is
breaking with sorrow and her words
hurt her more deeply than even the son
she is ubraiding for his, as she believes,

urally that the auditor is almost con-
strained to turn away his head as the
son, overwhelmed with shame and grief,
falls on his knees to beg pardon and for
giveness. a moment later the mother
love is shown by a gentle caress, which
is in itself a benediction. The first act
of the play shows a ball in progress at
