The Tulane Lease.

The committee of attorneys to whom
the question was submitted by the
board of administrators of the Tulane
University unanimously reported that
there was nothing either legally or
morally wrong in the lease OF the Ba-
rome street property Of the university,
which includes the sites of the Tulane
and Crescent theatres; and that the
fact that the wife and son OF Judge
Charles E. Fenner, then president Of
the board of administrators, were in
terested in the lease, constituted no
reflection upon the judge or anyone
else concerned in the transaction.
Following the reception and APP
proval Of this report by the board,
Judge Fenner, who had previously
resigned his Office and membership,
rendered to the administer sur
render of the interest held by his wife
in the Baronne street lease, and the
judges son, Chas. P. Fenner, has
made like tender of his interest il
the same lease, both offers being con-
ditioned upon the refunding of the
amounts expended by the lessees for
the purchase of the shares and inn
proVement Of the property.
These generous offers were gladly ac-
cepted, as they involve the acquisition
by the administrators of four-ninths
OF the stock representing profitable
business investment. and there should
be general recognition and commenda-
ton of the high-minded motives that
actuated Judge Fenner and his wife
and son in making this voluntary sur
render OF valuable interests in order
that no possible disadvantage or in
jury might be incurred by Tulane
University because of the criticism
growing out of their connection with
the lease in question.
The Boston Herald has published a
full retraction OF and apology for it's
article severely mountaineering upon
the management Of Tulane's affairs
by the board of administr ators, hence
there will be no prosecution of that
paper for libel, but the suits of the
eight administr ators for $40, 600 each
against the New Orleans Daily States
based mainly on the reproduction
OF the Herald's article-are still pend
ing. The States admits that the most
Objectionable statements in that arti-
Gle were palpably incorrect, but adj
heres to its own criticisms of the lease
of the Baronne street property from
the standpoint Of business Judgment
and the interests OF the university.
The main objection to the transaction
is the unusually long term OF the lease
and the absence of any provision for
the uniyersity's participation in the
pecuniary benefits arising from the in
creased and increasing value of the
property, but this objection should
not be construed as rejecting upon
the Integrity or motives of the distin-
guished and honorable gentlemen who
composed the Tulane board when the |
lease was effected.

out rolled skeleton with part OF the
flesh still elinging to the bones and
partially burned. On some OF the
tombs were noticed dates several
months in the future. The guide ex-
planned that no corpse in the city bur-
ial grounds had any fixed tenure Of
space. the graves being merely rented;
that the dates seen on the tombs were
the dates at which the rent would ex-
pire; that SO long as the financial po-
sition OF the corpse enabled it to meet
the landlord it rested in peace, but as
soon as it became delinquent it was
evicted, and that when the bones ac-
cumulated to a degree that became en-
barr assing they were burned and thus
gotten out of the way permanently.
Alithis returnt to barbarism is the result
of the government leasing the burial
privilege to private parties, who con-
duct it on business lines without re-
gard for conscience. In some of the
older cemeteries of New Orleans-as an
instance, cemetery in Louisa street,
i have seen the open graves, grave
fragments strewn about and the bone
pile, all of whichis nowexplainedt to me;
but at the time I could not believe that
such a state OF barbarism still existed
within the border of the United States
proper, and in one of the nations
chief cities at that.

Letter TO DIR. E. K. Sims, DonaIdsonyiIle.

Dear Sir-No man is in a position
to influence men with regard TO their
property more than you in that little
room where they tell you their troubles.
Pity if you don't know how to keep a
house dry and sound, any sort of
structure, house, store, factory, ware
house, shop, barn, fence-any sort of
fence, except rail-wlth paint.
What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money,
and putting it on costs twice as much
as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; it in.
c1udes the rest. One paint wears long,
another wears short; but the one that
wears long is the least gallons paint:
means pure and strong,
and most-gallons means adulterated
and weak, besides small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests
in the United States; not the business
OF making it; no, the business Of paint:
taking care OF properly. Paint is
worth a great deal more than it costs,
and the best costs least: Devoe.
Yours truly,

$50 Per Month Guaranteed by the Greatest
School of Telegraphy In the
United States.


The management of the Cotton Belt
Railway system has agreed to employ
every gradra'e Of the telegraphy de-
partment Il the Tyler Commercial
College, of Tyler, Texas, at mini
mum salary of $50 per month and 20
cents per hour for all overtime, which
makes their stations pay from $50 to
$3.50 per month. This road, as well
as some other lines, is furnishing
this school with all its telegraph
and station blanks. The Western
Union Co. is doing the same. The
Cotton Belt road has run loop Of
its train order wire through the teleg-
raphy department of this school, en-
abling all the advanced students to
receive real messages as they pass
over the wire from different operators
along the line. No other school in
America enjoys such privileges, and
no doubt this school would never have
enjoyed them had it not been for the
fact that the railroad and Western
Union companies recognized the ex-
cellent work it is already doing.
A life scholarship will cost but S45.
The average time for completing the
course is four months. What young
man could not afford to borrow the
money, il necessary, to take this
course, with such an assurance Of
drawing q hand some salary with
which to replace it. Many of our
railroad presidents started at the
telegrapher's key.
Write the Tyler Commercial Col
lege, Tyler, Texas, for full particulars
regarding their school of teIegraphy.
The Filipinos to Have Parliament.
A press despatch from Washington
dated October 80 says that President
Roosevelt is prepared to redeem his
promise made to the Philippine peo-
pie through Secretary Taft that they
shall have parliament of their own,
conditional upon their good behavior
for q term Of two years, and it is I'M
derstood that Secretary Taft himself
will proceed to the Philippines next
spring to witness the installation of
the new form of representative govern
ment. March q, 1905, the Philippine
census was published, and conseq uently
two years from that date, March q,
1907, under the terms OF the act OF
congress the president will direct the
Philippine commission to call a gen.
eral election for the choice of delegates
to what will be known as the Philip
pines assembly. This body is to take
over all legislative powers heretofore
exercised by the Philippine commits
sion in I'll that part Of the archipel-
ago not Inhabited by Moros or nom
Christian tribes.
