 The same idea. Mir. Gullcdge says, Is quite prevalent in the campaign. the Democratic party being represen- ted as favoring the Indian. but op- posed to the negro. while the Repub- licans pride themselves upon their adherence to the interests of the negro.
 Judge Clayton. one of the Federal Circuit Judges of the territory, was reported to MT. Gulledge by the In- dian who gave him the medallion as having closed his court last week with a statement something like this:
 There will be no more .ourt her [. until the 10th of Novembe.. And In closing the court. I desire 10 call the attention of the officers and attorneys of this court to the importance os the election we are about to hold and to the importance of voting the Re- publican ticket in that election.

 There was no one at home at the time. and practically all the furniture was lost. Among the few effects that were saved was a half-burned trunk which had contained $95. and invesu- gation showed that 1t had been oroken into and the money stolen.
 It Is supposed that after securing the money the burglar fired the house The dwelling was owned oy the Has,s and Phenix Mills of Columbus. and was not insured Mrs. Wilson. who IS a widow. did not have cent of in- surance. There Is general rejoicing that the Girard Kindergarten of the Eagle and Phenix Mills, adjoining the burning dwelling. was not destroyed. The damage to the structure can pc easily repaired.
 This building. which is pretty and Artistic. is one of the sights of Glr- ard. The Eagle and Phenix Mills op- crate free kindergartens in both Phe- mex City and Girard for the benefit of children of their operatives.
 The warrant sworn out against Professor Leonard Rutledge, teacher in the Phenix City public schools, charging him with assault and bat tery, has been withdrawn by H. A. Carmack, the prosecutor. The mat ter was amicably adjusted by mutual friends. It Is claimed that the teacher whipped Mir Carmack's young son with unnecessary severity.

 The defendants are ordered to make an accounting and to pay over to the receiver all sums received from certih- cate holders in connection with the "safety fund" The suit Is returnable in the Superior Court at New Haven or November 6.

COLLEGE AND BUSINESS.

Princeton. N J.. Oct. 22.-Figures which have just been compiled from the new directory of living graduates and former students of Princeton Uni- yersity, show that the college gradu- ate of today is more and more, choos- ing a business rather than 1profes- sional career These statistics show that nearly one-third of the living alumni of Princeton are In business.
 The increasing number of college men who are entering and influencing business life in America Is one or the n,arked changes that has come over our educated population in the last twenty-five years. It is not so long ago that practically all boys sent to col lege wee destined for a professional career-law, divinity, teaching. meal cine. journalism. engineering, etc. But all this IS changed

Exclusive of the class of 1908 +ber.

Exclusive of the class of 1906. there are 7.1S0 living alumni of Princeton. Of the 6.522 classified acording to their occupation. 2.285 are in business, 1,498 in the law. 924 in the ministry, 6s9 practicing medicine. 433 teachers. 2eo engineers. 104 journalists, 50 ranching and farming, 50 gentlemen of leisure, 41 students. 34 in the army. 31 civil service. 26 architecture. 19 chemists. 10 artists, g authors, in the navy, s librarians. 4 musicians, and dentists.
 Among the living alumni of the classes prior to 1S41, who number 24, none is engaged in business, prior to 1850. only per cent, and prior to 1870, only Is per cent In the sos the num- Der of graduates following a busi- ness career shows a marked increase, amounting to 25 per cent. This per- centage remains practically the same for the alumni in the sos. In the classes which have been graduated since 1900. the increase is very marked. av- eraging 50 per cent.
 It Is a fair presumption that there will be an increase instead of a de- crease in the number of students who will follow a business career, and that the tendency of the times to educate man for business by sending him to college for four years or a shorter pe- riod will increase rather than dimin- ish.
