4 FOI1ED AND sUID SUr1OR.

It seems to be pretty well establish ed that when rich widow wants a certain man for new husband she ought to have him. It is also pretty well established that she does have him. Still. there are slips, and some of them are interesting, IA rich widow in Austria found she was not getting the man who had apparently been courting her, and she finally sued him for damaging her reputation by long courtship without proposing marriage. He escaped the courts rebuke and pen- atty because he was able to show that he had tried hard to propose, and had been foiled in strange ways. The first time he was just on the point of pro- posing when he stepped on the tail of the lady's pet dog. The consequences Of this misadventure so upset him that he did not dare suggest marriage. Sub- SCNuOhtly HIS outrage dSdlu redcH5Q the sticking point and he drove to the widows house in a carriage drawn by four horses. He was determined that nothing should prevent him from pro- posing this time, but fate again reached out its hand and his courage and de- Domination availed him nothing. The carriage upset and he was thrown Into muddy puddle. His plight caused his bravery to ooze and he returned home to await a more favorable opportunity. The third time he started to walk to the widows, but, needless of the i'll luck that Is bound to follow such a venture, attempted to pass under a painters ladder. Fate again had it's eye upon him, and just as he got under the ladder the painter upset a pot of green paint all over him. He took this last warning to heart and concluded that the widow was not for him.
 And yet he might have had her. it seems. He has been saved for a better or asworse fate, or will he yet be hers in spite of all that has and hasn't hap pened?

SOME PREACHING,

The preachers are preaching some nowadays. For instance, President
 Faunce of Brown University preached the baccalaureate sermon from the text '4Thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money" In the course of his remarks he said:
 The first need of college Is never money. The first need is a lofty idea; the second need is insight into the real needs of society and the function of the teacher in supplying them; the third need is wise vigilant, honest ad- ministration, and the last need is finan- cial resources. Everywhere wealth is needed; everywhere it is subordinate. Money cannot build a university. The most enduring assets are invisible. When Brown University had a total endowment of $319OO she had Francis Wayland When Bowdoin had no lab- oratories she had Longfellow and flaw thorne. It is net brick and mortar, but the men, that make the college. This idea of wealth as the source of all suc- cess had it's extreme illustration re- gently in college athletics, where we have seen in the last flften years the full dominance of commercial methods. The Greeks, who, we are told, were as far beyond us in some things as we are beyond the American Indian, made more of athletic pre-eminence than does any American city or school. But the Greeks saw no connection whatever between athletic victory and financial speculation. The games were open to every man who loved his country, were begun with religious sacrifice, and the reward of the victor was wreath of wild olive. Do. we imagine that by hir- ing men of sinew to come to college We can create a sound and wholesome ath- letic life? Athletic Hessians never yet brought permanent growth in numbers, fame or character to any institution.
 These are some of the things that ought to be said, and they ought to be needed more than they are likely to be.

GREEN1AND,s INLAND ICE.

The Danish Arctic expedition, under the command of MT. Mylius- -Erichsen. will start from Copenhagen on the first of July. Perhaps the most adventurous part of the journey will be the attempt to cross, by means of ski, dog sledges and automobile, the inland ice of Green land on the broadest expanse of this continent. Nansen's crossing of Green land was made much further south, where Greenland is narrower; and Peary, who followed the northern slopes, had the advantage of being in touch with the coast Mylius- Erich sens plan Is this: About March 1908, he will set out, accompanied by one of his staff and two Greenlanders belong ing to the crew, the other members of the expedition, with fully loaded sledg- es, going with him the first third of the journey. When they return Mylius- LIICu66u uuu HIS IIlESb lOllOW6TS VIII proceed into the entirely unknown flee dome" of the interior of Greenland, which rises to as much as 10000 feet above the level of the sea. It is com pletely devoid of vegetable and animal life, and here one of the northern hem- isphere's cold-poles is supposed to be found. At the coldest season man probably cannot live there. Therefore he has chosen the months of March, April and May for this expedition. By means of ski dog sledges and motor car he hopes to complete this venturesome journey in about two months and a half. From the west coast the four men will proceed by a special vessel to a place on the southern part of Green lands east coast, where they will join their ship and return to Denmark. The expedition numbers twenty-two Danes
 as well as two German scientists, all specially fitted for the work.

CONTINUED.

Some of the young gentlemen of Yale continue to be interesting, and more or less important. The other day one of them, under mild compulsion in the City court, gave a list of names of stu dents as among those present" at the building of the bonfire on the Temple street bridge. Director Chittenden, of the Sheffield Scientific School, has been interviewed, and was reported as say ing yesterday morning: Up to the present time know nothing about the matter excepting. the accounts printed in the papers, and I know already that some of the names given were of young men who were not in the city on the evening of the disturbance in Temple street."
 Still interesting. Was the young gen. tleman of Yale who tried, or was tried, to tell the truth in the City court so scared by the situation that he gave names that shouldn't have been given, or was he so foolish that he gave names of young gentlemen who were not pres ent, or what is the truth about the matter?
 Meanwhile there is a mild notion in the community that the young gentle men of Yale ought to be made to be- have themselves, and a mild wondering if there is anybody around who is will ing or able to make them do it.

The War department continues to re- ceive claims from southerners who lost their horses in the Civil War on their return to their homes from service with the Confederate army. For several years claims of this kind have been paid by the quartermaster general un- der a special provision of law, to meet which three appropriations have been made on each occasion, with the ex- pectation that there would be no fur ther demand for funds for the purpose. The auditing officials say that there will probably be no end to the claims of this kind and they do not favor an ex- tension of the period of allowance or additional appropriations to meet these belated bills. It was expected there were few instances where claims could be made of the less by confiscation of animals belonging to Confederate cav alrymen under the circumstances de- scribed, but as one War department of ficer. familiar with the situation, de- soribes it, there appears to have been a larger amount of cavalry in the dying days of the Confederacy than has been dreamed of in the surviving records,

There is now in custody In Leipsic a man named Dittrich who is charged with ten murders, some committed In Germany and some in Austria. He was first arrested for the murder of a wom- an near Koenigstein. He then not only confessed but admitted two other mur- ders near Leipsic and three in Austria. As the man has been several times in an asylum, the case was at first thought to be one of homicidal hallu- cination, but information from the Aus trian police confirm the mans state ments. The Berlin police have now sat isfied themselves that he is also the author of four mysterious murders committed between 1894 and 1905 in the Grunewaldfort, on the Lunfernbeide, at Erchwalke, and in the forest of Zen- then. Under Interrogation Dittrich said: 'T should need dozen heads to pay for all the lives have taken.'
