General Viljoen, formerly of the
Boer army, has written a novel of
the war. The horrors of the South
African conflict are not yet over, it
seems. The dismal thought of posi-

ture forces itself upon the mind, and
the inveterate reader begins to won

Comment is heard TO the effect that
this May Day has seen fewer strikes
than any May Day for several years
past. Some students of labor prob
lens are hopeful that this means a
gradual reconciliation of the interests
of capital and labor, and the conclu-
sion is not unreasonable. For some
time both sides have been in an ir-
ritable frame of mind, jealous of their
rights, distrustful of each Others
good faith, and ready to fight over a
misunderstanding In the nature of
things, such a condition of affairs
could not exist forever, and either a
better understanding or a new French
revolution was bound to come. Labor
men are now weighing the conse-
quences very carefully before they or
der strike, and employers are begin
ming TO realize that it is worth while
to make a concession now and then
rather than keep the market unset
tied.

The Fate of d Biddle.

Philadelphia AriStocracy Becomes Pro

In spite of all the jokes about the
sleepiness Of Philadelphia, one is
sometimes inclined to feel that the
Quaker City is not as slow as repre-
sented, but that her citizens, when
they choose, can give points to the
people of other cities. An incident
which occurred the other day in New
York goes to prove this A Biddle
was arrested for violatings the speed

the fact that one of THE Biddles has

is a great and solemn reflection. Can

WORRY ENDS LIFE
. OF 4 POSTMASTER
Fear Of Exposures Said to Have
Killed Cornelius Van
Cott.

? New York, Oct. 26.-Cornelius Van
Cott, postmaster Of New York city,
died yesterday at his home. Death was
due to nervous indigestion. The post
master was stricken at his desk in the
postoffice about pm. Monday, and his
valet found him partially unconscious
in his chair. Yesterday he was removed
from the postoffice to his home. He
collapsed on the way and died soon
after being taken into his house.
That worry over the arrest of his son
on a charge of colonizing and the per.
sistent rumors that his own removal
would follow the exposures of misman-
agement of the New York postoffice con
tributed in a large degree to Mr.. Van
Cott s illness, there is no doubt.
jCornelius Van Cott was born in New
York in 1888. His family came of old
Knickerbocker stock and several Of his
ancestors served in the revolutionary
war.
Edward NJ Morgan, assistant post
master, was today named as the tempo
rary successor Of Postmaster Van Cott.
The selection was made by Postmaster
Van Cott bontlsmen as required by
law. Mr.. Morgan will act as post
master until Mr.. Van Cott g successor
is formally chosen by the president.

ENGINEER S WIN
Elect President of Freshmen Glass, and
OutVote Academies, 80,

In a meeting that developed into a
contest between engineers and aca-
denies, the freshmen at the university
this noon elected class president.
Lynn Farnham of Minneapolis, an en-
giHeer, won the presidency over Hugh
MCGEE, an academic, also from Min
neapolis. The contest was close and
the atmosphere Of the meeting became
SO warm that no effort was made to
elect other. officers and the meeting
adjourned in hubbub. .
President Northrop called the meet
ing to order and a temporary chairman
was chosen. The first break came on a
motion to divide the class and have
separate academic and engineering
organizations. The engineers voted in
a body against the measure and it was
defeated. The election Of president
followed and there was considerable
protest over the method of election, as
standing vote was taken and not the
usual secret ballot.
The freshmen engineers are jubi,
lantly planning to, capture the other
