NAY, SAYS BARNARD
College Girls Decide Not to Visit Theater Where
 Rockefeller is Burlesqusd.

New York, Feb 15.-Barnard college students, who planned to buy several hundred seats at the Broadway theater when Elsie Janis Is appearing in "The Vanderbilt Cup" have decided not to do so, because John D. Rockefeller and his son are burlesqued in the play.
 It was given out at Harvard that there will be no objection to students appearing as individuals, but they must not attend as a representation body.
 Some days ago committee from the college called at the theater and in quired if all the seats could be bought for single performance. The treas lirer said he would take up the matter with A. w. Dingwall, manager of the house. and Liebler & Co, proprietors of the production.
 This he did on Tuesday and wrote the committee that the entire house could be had for a certain figure. Yes terday he received reply from Alice Duer Miller of No 62 East Fifty-third street. in which she said that the col lege girls would be forced to select some other play, as Mir Rockefeller had been very generous with the institu- tion in the past and it was hoped he might be even more generous in the future.
 Under the circumstances, she said. the college thought 1t would be in bad taste to countenance the play.
 The burlesque of the Rockefellers is pure fun. The son is shown as a '.goody goody' boy, and the father as a man who has one eye on the money market and the other on failing d. gestion.
 Alice Duer Miller is graduate of Barnard and the wife of Henry w. Miller.

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

London, Feb 15.-While declining to make rash promises, Premier Camp bell Zimmerman and Chancellor of Ex- cheauer Asquith to-day declared them selves in entire sympathy with depu- tation which called on them to advo- cate the establishment of national system of old age pensions. The depu- tation urged that the scheme should include all citizens, men or women, the money being found by means of inn perial taxation. The premier and chancellor of the exchequer in reply ing heartily approved of the sugges- tions. The only difficulty at present, they pointed out, was the question of ways and means. They thought. how eyer, that with greater care in the ad- ministration of the country's finances it would not be impossible to find money for such beneficent scheme.

Death was instantaneous.
"Mrs. Krum's maiden name was Ellen
NJ. Blair. Her father was minister 10

has kept out Of factlonal politics, and
stood for the interests of the Republican
party, says:
"1'he ticket nominated by yesterdays g
convention Is most excellent one from
top to bottom, aud in the Judgment Of
the Herald will stand the closest scrutir y
and investigation by the people 10 the
long and active campaign which We are
about to begin. Some Of the men named
have not been prominently known In the
politics OF the state heretofore, but all
have won for themselves the most cred
table places In their own counties and
are men Of the highest character.
There was not man nominated yes
tef1ay from the dark horse list. Every
name on the ticket 10 that Of man
whose candidacy has been openly con-
sidered and widely published, and the
candidates named, each and every one of
them, enjoys the regard and respect, and
had the enthusiastic support of the peo-
pie of his own community. The ~at-
form lie trifle too long, but 1t is never
theless very excellent one. 1t handles
the vital issues Of the day in a sane and
sensible manner and leaves the meaning
less and demagogic buncombe to its op.
ponents. The Republican party has
been the party of deeds and Its Demo-
cratic oppont nts the party Of words.
Yesterdays convention showed that
more than l 900 representative men Of
Kansas believed it more important that
the Republican party should stand for
the real interests of the people on plat
form that pledges it to enact laws, and TO
administer those we have, in a spirit OF
fairness to every interest involved, than
to gain votes at ths cost Of common
sense; common Justice and the princi-
pies of government, which alone guar
antee permanent peace, happiness and
prosperity TO all the people of this COM
monWealth."
