A NOTABLE ENT.

By no means the least notable
achievement in the career OF Henry G.
Davis, Of West Virginia, was scored
during the period before he acquired
his fortune, when he was acting as y
railroad superintendent at a salary
of about hundred dollars a month.
It was customary in the early days Of
railroading for trainmen to take their
train as far as they could before tie

earth and then TO remain stationary

tivity in many branches Of industry
such prodigal waste of time seems as
archaic as the methods of travel in
vogue among the aborigines of the
continent. Nevertheless, it required
a man OF bold originality to institute
an economy which is now recognized
as indispensable.
Railroad builders of America have
been its Aladdins. Almost as won,

RENUNCIATION OF PATH
 DISCUSSED BY DIRECTORS
MEETING OF BOARD OF CAqHo-
 LIC UNIVERSITY.

No Formal Communication Concerning
 the Withdrawal of the Marquise Des
 Monsters, Who Founded the Insti-
 tution-Members Reluctant to Speak
 of the Case Until Further Informed 1. on It--The waggaman Trouble.
 Washington, Nov. 16.-The semi-an- nual meeting of the board of directors of the Catholic university of America convened at the university to-day and considered matters of importance in connection with the future of the institution. Chief of these were the re- nunciation of the Catholic creed by the Marquise des Monsters, formerly Miss May Gwendolin Caldwell, whose gener- bsity founded the university; and the bankruptcy case of Thomas D. Waggaman, treasurer of the universi- ty, whose failure may seriously ern- barrass the board in providing finances for immediate use.
 The statement of the American mar quise, made public yesterday in a conn municatjon to The Associated Press from Rome under date of October 30, came as a complete surprise to officials of the university. They did not know she was contemplating such step nor that she had gone to Rome from New York, where she spent the summer. As no formal communication has been made to the university concerning the withdrawal of the marquise 1t is am nounced that action of any kind will not be taken by the board of trustees without the most careful deliberation.
 The last meeting of the board of trus- tees was held in April and that meet ing was adjourned until to-day. At that time, neither the Waggaman af- fair nor the withdrawal of the mar quise had been suspected and the meet- i ing was spposed to be for the one pur- l pose of taking up routine matters con- nected with the administration of the university When the meeting was cail- ed to order there were present Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishops Williams of Bos- ton, Ryan of Philadelphia, Farley of New York and Keane of Dubuque, Bishops Spalding of Peoria, Foley of l Detroit, Macs of Covington, Ky, and Harkins of Providence R. T., and Charles J Bonaparte of Baltimore. George E. Hamilton of this cite, attor
 ney for the university, also was pres 4 ent to confer aith the members of the ! board concerning the Wagganan case. 4 At to-day's session of the board the I Waggaman case was the principal mat ter considered, but 1t was not decided to give statement to the public at this time. The statement issued giv-
 ing an interview with the Marquise des Monsters was taken up, but not as part of the business of the board. Most
