I ne Shorter College Course.

Tie University OF Chicago has
undertaken an important innovation
in adding two years 10 the courses
Of its affiliated preparatory schools
and deducting them from the col
lege course.
Strong arguments are adduced
by those who favor this change in
other universities. 1t would enable
those who are unable to attend the
expensive colleges to get at their
high schools the equivalent OF fresh
men and sophomore work, and II
would bring the break between the
school and college where it properly
belongs-at the point where pre-
scribed courses yield to the free
electives of the more mature stu
dent.
The analogy of the German gym
nasia. which yield their graduates
to the universities al a stage CORE
spending to tie end of the sopho-
more year in this country. Is potent
with those who admire German
tforoughness in educational mat
tiers. essf. 81
Conservatives NAV rail at the
suggestion. but plans for shortening
the American college coarse are GER
=
ibiliiy. In many progressive col
leges, led by Harvard. i is already
possible to compete the Course in
three years, and President Buffers
suggestion OF a two years course

airy in view CT President iIarper's

MEAD EATING HUMBLE PIE.

After COntemptuously rejecting a
proposed commission plank in the re-
publican state platform the railroad
lobbyists are now trying to appease
outraged public sentiment by pretend
ing that their man Mead will sign a
commission bill if passed by the leg
isIature and that he will see that the
provisions of the law are faithfully
enforced. The lobbyists are perfectly
safe in making this promise with an

worth having through a republican
Legislature and that if Mead We're
elected he would have no occasion to
break his promise In order to secure
complete control of the state govern
meut they are ready to initiate Satan
by taking the people to the mountain
top and promising to give everything
i'm sight if only their behests be obeyed.
But the record of the last republican
Legislature gave the people surfeit of
broken promises, of perffdy and dis
honor. and it is hardly likely that they
will be buucoed again

are now ready to promise anything

At the Park theater last night the
Laurence Stock company opened new
bill to a packed house. The new bill
presented is Held by the Enemy, a
military comedy drama which abounds
with striking situations and comedy
lines. Del Laurence as Colonel Frank
Middleton was very good in his part
and earned much applause. William
Richards, as Lieutenant Charles Mar

his part very c1everly. Lester How

heart of Grace McRoyal, southern
girl, which character was taken by
Miss Madeline Laurence. Both parts

A FIERCE BLAZE.
Fire In the Heart of Cincinnati Caused
Loss of About 100000.

Cincinnati, Nov. 21.-Fire caused a
loss Sunday in the central part of the
city on the south side of Fourth be-
tween Walnut and Main streets anS
also on Main near Fourth approximat.
ing 100000. 1t started about noon
in an abandoned building in the rear
of the Pounsford Stationery Co. There
was strong breeze that caused the
flames to spread rapidly, so that with
the whole fire department at work it
required several hours to get the con-
flagration under control and early in
the afternoon a general confiagration
was apprehended. The loss on the
several five-story buildings was $140,-
600, distributed as follows:
McMicken estate $4,000, Rudolph
Wurlitzer $4,000, Baker estate $10,-
600, Sammet Brothers $4,000, j.
Frank Jones $4,000. The nine-story
st. Paul building stopped the fire
westward and was damaged about
$4,000. But little was saved east of
the St. Paul building to Main street.
AS the McMicken estate all went to
the University of Cincinnati, that in
Stitution is heavy loser.

Murder Mystery Puzzles Police.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-Diligent search
by score of detectives yesterday in
the vicinity of Lemont failed to throw
any light on the mystery surrounding
the murder of William Bate, who was
shot and killed and his body left in an
automobile at lonely spot on Archer
road Saturday morning. Many new
clews were discovered by the de-
tectives, but up to a late hour last
night nothing of a tangible nature
bearing on the murder had been
learned. An inquest was begun, but
after empaneling jury the case was
continued until November 80, the
coroner asking that the jury in the
meantime assist in the search for evil
dence that would laad to the convic-
tion of the murderer.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS.
Conditions are Reported to be Stead
lily Improving.

New York, Nov. 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business was retarded by the
storms which interrupted telegraphic
communication, but the loss was
quickly recovered, and retail trade re-
sponded to the lower temperature,
while a large jobbing distribution of
holiday goods occurred. Fall River
mills were reopened, but the oper-
atives did not return in sufficient num-
bers to keep the machinery active and
there is still difficulty regarding the
water supply in the Connellsville coke
region, which handicaps the blast fur
naces. Other commercial reports are
encouraging, and, on the whole, con-
ditions steadily improve.
Confidence is increasing, particuS
larly in the steel and textile indus
tries, and building operations are very
vigorous for the season, while mercan-
tile collections are more prompt Farm
staples are slightly cheaper in re-
sronse to splendid dispatches from
agricultural centers, and several
freight blockades have delayed the de-
livery of grain and merchandise.
Failures this week numbered 217 in
the United States, against 249 last
year, and 81 in Canada, compared
with II year ago.

THREE MEN IN A LAUNCH.
They Were Rescued After Four Days
of FriahtfuI Hardships.

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 21.-The
Norwegian steamer Veritas, which ar
rived here Sunday from Santiago De
Cuba, reports that on Saturday she
rescued three men in a naphtha launch
off Guantanamo.
The three men left Guantanamo on
Wednesday for a cruise along the
coast. The machinery of the boat be-
came deranged and anchor was
dropped, but the chain parted during
a heavy sea and the launch was blown
to sea in the direction of Santiago.
The men signalled two steamers for
assistance, but the first failed to reply.
The Veritas answered, however, and
took the men ON board.
Martyr died as result of exposure
and his body was inferred here. Muir
lilo is i'll from the effects of the ordeal,
but Lopez is well. The men had no
food for four days. Martyr had re-
volver and threatened to commit sui
eide, but was restrained by Lopez.
The launch was brought here.
