RUMoRs OF PEACE.
Reported From Berlin That Russian
War Party Favors It.

A cablegram from London says: The
Times Berlin correspondent wires as fol-
lows:
II learn on excellent authority that there
is a strong possibility of peace. What
makes the news doubly interesting is the
fact that the war party has urged the
car to end the struggle.
1.-THE basis of settlement is to be the
independence of Korea under the protec-
torate of Japan, and Manchuria to remain
Chinese territory. In a secret treaty be-
tween China and Japan the integrity of
Manchuria has been guaranteed by Japan.

THEIR STUDENT LIFE

The plans for the enlargement of Co
lumbar University and its change Of
name will be of great interest, not only
to students residing in the District OF Co
lumbia, but TO those who come here from
states distant or near. The new uni
yersity. or, rather, the old one reincar-
mated will offer courses of instruction
equal to those of older and Weather
colleges In time 1t will doubtless rank
first in the nation and realize the Ideal
George Washington had in mind when he
suggested the establishment of national
institution. One circumstance which will
aid in this consummation is the fact that
the capital city Is itself a perpetual
worlds fair and public library. so far as
opportunities for observation and en-
lightenment are concerned Even now
many students come here from other
cities to complete their college courses,
and more will come in the future. There
are many such in Columbian, and this
years graduates include one from Bos-
ton University.
The women of the nation will share
these new advantages and wider oppor-
tunities Columbian is the only university
in Washington which opens it's doors to
women, and the plans for the new build
ings. besides including them in the gen.
eral provisions for better instruction
and greater comfort, will have some new
features designed especially for their
benefit.
1t Is a notable fact that while many
boys come to college as a matter Of
course girls are not usually sent, unless
they are exceptionally brilliant, or, at
least exhibit some Of that infinite ca
pacity for hard work. which has been
called a synonym for genius For this
reason most college girls are enthusiastic
students and seldom fail in the careers
marked out for them. The records OF the

Columbian University testify to this and
fully Justify the wisdom OF those pro-
fessors who in 1899 vigorously fought
and vanquished the opposition to the ad-
mission of women to the collegiate de-
partment. Not all of the seventy-hve
girls who have departed from Columbian
with diploma have attained the fame
of Mrs. A. N. MCGEE, U. s. army surgeon;
Mrs. L. B. Davis of the Nautical Almanac
office and number of others; but each
one has gone forth to a life of useful en-
deavor.
The College Spirit.
During the past few years a great in
crease in college spirit has been evinced
by the women students and they take an
active interest in all the auxiliary institu-
tons. More of them join the Enosinian De-
batting Society. Current Literature Club,
Glee Club and Columbia Women; and two
new fraternities have gained foothold
among them. These are the Alpha Omega
and the Chi Mega. They threaten to rival,
IL not dim, the glory of the Pi Beta Phi.
This year the university will graduate
five young women. Three will have con-
ferred upon them the degree OF bachelor of
science and two that of bachelor of arts.
The former are Misses Irene Mabel Pistorio,
Ellen Clapp Brandenburger and Constance
Elizabeth Adams. The latter, Misses Ethel
Louise Gallagher and Catherine Virginia

REST OF A WEEK FROM DUTY.

day Next.
Having just completed the session OF
Dooly court Judge Littleiohn and the
attorneys attending will take a rest
this week, there being no other docket
until the convening of Webster court
at Preston on the first Monday in
October.
Webster county Is going to have a
heavy doc ket at this term.
There is not great amount of civil
business, but the criminal docket is
rather an unusual one for the good old
county of Webster.
Four prisoners now in the Americus
jail will be tried there next week, in all
probability, and there may be others.
The four confined in Sumter's jail are
Sidney Harrell, W. s. Morgan, white;
Bill Ellis and lobe Thornton.
Some of these have been here for
several months already.
Sidney Harrell will be tried for ar
son, growing out of the burning of
Preston. His alleged confederate,
Henry Morgan, is doing time in the
pen now on the same charge.
W. s. Morgan is charged with COM
plIcity in the killing OF Joe Phillips, a
states witness, who testified against
his brother, Henry Morgan, at his
trial.
The killing was actually done by Bill
Ellis, who says that Morgan hired him
to do the deed.
Ellis, who is here also in Jail, will be
tried for murder in the first degree He
freely confesses the crime and the al
legged motive, while there were numer-
GUS witnesses as we'll, the killing hav-
ing occurred at church.
Tobe Thornton is the negro rapist
who assaulted Miss Dismuke, near
Preston, in February last.
AS the result of his heinous crime
the unfortunate lady is IN the Iunatic
asylum, and her assailant cannot be
tried until she RECEIVERS sufficiently to
appear against him, which, it is hoped,
will be very soon.
Owing to the heavy criminal docket,
Judge Littlejohn may possibly devote
the week thereto, hearing the civil
cases afterwards.
