One prominent professional man from
out of the State who wanted a little
recreation from the exacting work IN
which he had been engaged. came down
to Brunswick, last winter. and spent
two weeks as the guest Of the boys at
the chapter house Of mis- old fraternity.
He had many interesting stories to tell,
commencement week Of his experiences
during those two weeks. At first there
was a disposition to treat him as
guest, but this soon disappeared and
the boys counted him as one of their
number and he thoroughly enjoyed all
their good times with them. AS a re-
suit of his visit he is firmly convinced
that colleges, as we'll rs the world in
general, have gone forward during the
past third of a century. He says that
there are now brighte: and better set
of young men in the college than there
were in his time; young men with
keener minds and more alive to the
great questions of the day. Moreover,
he declares that there is much less
drinking in college than there was in
his time, and much less evidence of
immoral and reprehensiblc practices
He declares that the tone Of college life
is higher. and that, in spite of the grea.
popularity of athletics. the college boys.
Of today. work much harder and cover
much more ground than in his time.

Some were disappointed because
President Hyde was unable to an
nounce that the big increase in endow-
,nent funds had been secured. which it
was hoped would be secured before the
present Commencement season closed.
Gifts. however. amounting to nearly
$40. 900 were announced for the first
time. as we'll as gifts and requests of
$50. 900 or more during the past year. not
to mention the Coombs bequest of $150-
900 which will be received in the near
future and the Winthrop bequest of
5000 which is to be received at once.
The work for the increase of the en-
dowment will be pushed steadily for
ward and it is expected that some in
teresting announcements will be made
in this connection in the near future.
The end of commencement week is an
exceedingly sad time for the members
Of the newly graduating class. After
the hundreds Of alumni have left for
their homes: after their friends and
guests have departed, after the under
graduates have scattered for their sum-
mer vacations. the members of the
graduating class have to remain to
pack up and clean up their rooms, pre-
paratOry to their final departure from
their loved college home. 1t is sort OF
work that tears the heart of the young
men, and altogether it is about the
most solemn two or three days that
they have ever known. And finally the
last piece Of furniture is sold or shipped
to the station. and the last trunk is
packed, and the doors Of the dormi-
tories and chapter houses are locked,
while the old campus. never so
beautiful as when clothed with the
luxuriant summer verdure settles down

with much favor by the alumni, and al
though there was q constant drizzle
during the whole Of the game the play
ers stuck bravely to It. and the grand
stand was filled with g. wildly enthusi-

was seldom the regular Varsity nine,

often made up of old-timers who were

lots of fun but no great amount of real

of a gilt-edged variety, giving several

of the season to see the Eowdoin nine
play. This was specially appreciated
by them since the 5owdoin nine has
won the championship this year, and
the game was the more thoroughly en-.
joyed. 1t need hardly be said, from the
fact that 1t resulted in victory for the

 Time.
GREAT PRESSURE WAS USED
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, March 4, 1 a. m.-(Special) Senator Penrose has given up the fight on the rivers and harbors bill. The prompt action of the conferees in reach ing an agreement placed the senator in such an awkward predicament that any other course would have been almost a physical impossibility He would have been obliged to hold the floor for about ten hours. As all other legislation has been disposed of the senator would not have been able to rest even for a minute. He thus saw the futility of attempting to talk the bill to death, and as sop to his Philadelphia constituents the Senate passed resolution authorizing the Secre- tary of War to estimate the cost of a sur- vey of the Delaware river.
 Four years ago, when Senator Garter so effectually disposed of the rivers and harbors bill, he was aided by three or four of the great supply bills which had to be passed. This year. the appropria- tions committee, many think, intentional ly hurried its conference reports through and Penrose saw when too late that he would be compelled to make the fight of his life The bill will be signed by the President before Congress adjourns.

St. Petersburg. March S.-The Emperor has issued a rescript to the Minister of the Interior, stating that he has decided to convene an assembly of elected repre- sentatives of the people to elaborate and consider legislative measures. Following is the text of the rescript:
 True to the ancient custom of the Russian people of the expression of Its feelings to the throne In days of joy or sorrow for the fatherland, the nobility, zemstvo assemblies, commercial associa- tions and peasant communities, have of- fered from all parts of Russia congratu- lations on the birth of the heir to the throne with expressions of their willing ness at my call to cooperate in the suc- cessful execution of the reforms an- nounced by me- and is entirely in aceord- anee with the wishes of my heart

rivers and harbors bill. It is charged that the Pennsylvania delegation in Con- gress is more or less worthless. After the rivers and harbors bill was reported and passed by the House. the people of Philadelphia made up their minds that they had not received quite as much as they thought they should have, and the result was that the whole delegation from the eastern side received daily criticism
 It became so severe that Penrose was forced to greatly increase the appropria- tion in the rivers and harbors committee, and in order to make the people believe that thirty-five foot channel was al- most an accomplished fact he stuck in survey, which, while it would cost but ten or twelve thousand dollars, Is utter ly useless at this time.
 Nevertheless the Pennsylvania delega- ton itself has made Philadelphia believe that survey Is almost as good as an actual thirty-fve foot channel, hence Pen rose feels that unless he holds this survey in the bill there will be trouble in store for him when the next legislature meets,

Break In Southern Groups.

New York, March 3-(By Associated press)-A sharp break in the group Inf southern iron stocks which Ted in last weeks advance on the stock exchange, was the feature of the stock market today and did much to un- settle other issues for time. The first sale of Sloss- Sheffield steel and iron, com mon. which closed yesterday lo7 bid, was ss. There were two sales of 100 shares each at S6.
 Tennessee Coal and Iron stock had ad- vanced 11z points earlier in the morning to 94. but it began to decline sharply, following the lead of Sloss-Sheffield. It sold down below sS. Last week Tennes- see Coal rose 12 points and Sloss-Sheffield 36
 subsequently Sloss-Sheffield made full recovery to 107Ha and Tennessee Coal ral- lied above 91, but in the late trading fine southern steel issues again ran off, this time Tennessee Coal reaching the lowest for the day. There was heavy selling around Ss.
