COLLEGE GIRLS TO BE TIDY
Thomas of Bryn Mawr Says
the Day of Varsity Trump"
Is Past.

Educational attachments will
no longer excuse slOvenliness in
dress and manners among women,
says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Miss M. Carey Thomas, president
of Bryn Mawr college, made this
home truth a feature of her ad-
dress to the students at the open
ing exercises of that institution.
1t was near the close of her
speech, when she was telling the
girls not to underrate the impOr-
tance of details, that Miss Thorn
as brought the subject up. First
she recalled the much discussed
lecture of Henry Jones, in
which he urged the exercise Of
more care in conversation and
writing and an effort to use purer
English. But this, she said, was
a detail of education, which the
matter of personal appearance
is not.
The day of the college trump"
said the president, was past, and
she was glad of it. SlOvenliness
in dress and manners were no
longer overlooked in woman no
matter how brilliant she might
be. AS the college woman came
to be less of a curiosity and her
numbers increased, she could not
afford to be careless of the little
things which others of her sex re-
garded.
Miss Thomas urged the girls to
be tidy and to see that they re-
fected credit on their alma mater
when they appeared in public.
She said there was no tax which
the college paid more cheerfully
than the double one on Springfield
water, and that there was plenty
of water, both hot and cold, in the
buildings.
The advantages of corporate
life of the college were expatiated
on by the president, who said that
the ideas of the girls were broad
ened and they became more self
reliant in thus living away from
meandamong their classmates.

STORY OF KURoPArKIN.
Technical Disgrace of Great Russian
General Brings 70 Mind His
Part in Another War.


At this time Of the lat least
TECHNICAL disgrace of Gen. Kuro.
patkin, it falls distinctly aprOpos
to hear Of that brave and able gen
tleman's behavior during another
war than that which has just
come to an end in the far east
during the war between Russia
and Turkey in the late seventies
when Kuropatkin served with
marked distinction under the re-
redoubtable Skobeleff. Through
all OF 1877 the younger man dis
played most admirable fighting
qualities. His tirelessness and
ability had gained for him the
highest encOmiums of his famous
superior. Then, on Christmas
day, came the chance shot which
laid KurOpatkin by for time, in
cidentally showing in a new light
the splendid physical bravery of
the man.
Skobeleff had taken his stand
on a rock to survey the valley
which stretched away from Lyssoi
hill, when a ball from a Turkish
sharpshooter, hidden among the
brush below, pierced KurOpat-
kin's shoulder and collarbone; as
usual, he was at the side of his
commander. The loss to the lat
ter seemed irremedisble, while
the grief of the file troops, when
the i'll news ran among them, was
so keen and real that some actual
ly shed tears as this idOlized lead
er was laid on a stretcher and
borne away.
But the rugged steepness of the
rocky hillside was too much for
the bearers. One of them slipped,
and the wounded man was rudely
jerked out upon the ground. "Pll
go on foot. It's impossible to be
carried, emuttered, his face con
vulsed with pain. An orderly took
him by he arm and started to lead
him up the slope, when he, too,
slipped and went down, the officer
falling on him. Then a rope was
tied about KurOpatkin's waist,
the ends being passed over the
shoulders of a brawny COssack,
while two soldiers, one on each
side, supported the general
whose military career was thus
ended for a time.

any one In our presence they were placed not
fewer than six thousand q not over eight
thousand. The editor Of the Press and Ban:
ner was among the throng on the street. and
be saw but one man under the influence, OF
LIQUOR. We heard the name OF another, but
did not see him. We asked q policeman what
he thoughr Of the behaviour Of the people
and be said that they were sober and orderly.
Good feeling prevailed. He had made no ar
rests. We asked The Sheriff as 10 bis opinion,
and he said the behaviour was excellent. and
as far as he saw, all were sober except one or
two individuals. Our " testimony Woulo
be thai we never saw q better behaved aggre-
cation OF people. We neither saw nor heard
Of a single disturbance. The Yorkville En-.

The Fight is Won !

Huzzah, banzai, hurrah for the farmers!
II cents cotton and you have won the fight!
Well, may you feel proud of this, the great
est victory of many years.
Where are the Wall Street gamblers who
boosted that they would teach the southern.
farmers a lesson that they would never for
get? Where is the man who sold his cot
ton for 9 cents because he didn't believe the
farmers would stick together-because he
had no confidence in the movement any
way? Echo answers, WHERE?
The 1aborer is worthy of his hire, and
the cotton farmer is just now beginning to
get decent wages. He has twenty years
back wages due him that he ought to get
some how.
You are in the saddle, farmers. You
hold the reins! Hold them tight! Don't
get intoxicated with this success and turn
them loose.
Not since the war has there been as much
money in the country. Not in the history
of the state has business been on such a
boom! Five years like this will make our
country the richest in the world. You
have the bears of the Wall Street bull pen
cornered, so LAY on McDuf and damned
be he who first cries, hold, enough"

s. yelling, a prominent citizen of the
town and one of the largest farmers OF
the county, had refused a bona fide
offer of II IL cents for 200 bales of cot
ton.
There was q large crowd in Darling

week, and the refusal of Mr.. yelling
was 8 matter of common talk. All
parties, planters and buyers alike, con-
slider this q more remarkable case than
the one at Dillon, since the number OF
bales is twice as many. This refusal
will set the pace for many other far
mers who have shown disposition to
bold for the minimum price.
