Keeping Up college Spirit"


The cost of being a loyal college graduate
is increasing every day. In addition to pay
ing for directories booklets" "cata-
logues," Student publications and various
forms of Llama" there are class dinners to
be subscribed for, class dormitores to be
built, class professorships to be endowed,
prizes, scholarships, fellowships and library
foundations to be established. There is also
moral as well as a financial drain upon
the resources of the alumnus. He has to
remain faithful even though his college
Stays him. He must be ready to approve
the policy and even the speeches of his col
lege president. He must praise the curricu-
lum. He must root at games and races,
however languid his interest in them; must
defend the ineffective stroke of the crew,
errors on the diamond and on the gridiron
and at last must send his. sons to be edu-
Gated where he was educated himself even
if in his judgment some other college would
be better. Unless he does all these things
with enthusiasm he is thought to be
churlish fellow without college spirit"

U. S. A., now stationed at FIT. Myer, Va,
will be the preacher. The service will be-
gin at p. m.
Chaplain Brown, who was formerly a
Congregational minister. was ordained a
deacon in the Episcopal Church in 1895
by the bishop of California, and advanced
to the priesthood in 1896 by the bishop of
western Texas. He had charges at San
Bernardina, Cal, and at Precott, Ariz.
Chaplain of Rough Riders.
He was at the latter place when wa was
declared with Spain and was instrumental
in raising the company of men afterward
known as the Rough Riders. He was APP
pointed a chaplain, and served in that
capacity in this celebrated corps of men
throughout the war. In this way he was
brought in touch with Theodore Roosevelt.
who afterward became President The
President is a great admirer of the chap
lain.
For several years Chaplain Brown was
stationed at Fort McHenry near Baltimore,
and when Chaplain Pierce was transferred
to Washington barracks, he was sent to
Fort Myer, where he is held in high esteem
by the men.

dered to Cuba, cannot be present, his sue
cessor is to preach the sermon Chaplain
Brown is said to be very forceful
preacher, his sermons being practical,
appealing especially to men.
Attendance Large.

Weather and Baseball.

'T have just returned from a stay of several weeks in the country before go- ing back to work in the north" said John II. Evans at the Birmingham hotel last night and the people whom T met are of the opinion that there will be no more cold weather this season. They appear all to think that the spring will be wet, alleging that an open winter is always followed by a rainy period last ing several weeks
 q will not object much to the rain except that it will very likely inter- fere with the ball players. This is the time of year when the young mans fancy turns to thoughts of love. the young girl s to her new Easter gown and millinery. and the athletic mans dwells upon the national game. A rainy period now would dampen things in more ways than one. and it is to be hoped that even the most hard-hearted employer of labor will not wish for any such calamity to be visited upon us.'

Iroh and Steel Prices.

The production of pig irop at the rate of 25,000,000 tons a year is begin ming 10 overtake consumption, and may after a while pass it. Buyers see the situation, and they are buying in a hand-to-mouth manner. Their buying in February was cut down to the lean est possible figures in order to bring about lower prices for iron, and through iron for steel. In crisis like the present common bar iron may have to be cut in order to bring back the buyers who are staying out of the market at present.
 And vet it is conceded that struct- ural steel is in active demand, and probably will be throughout the re- mainder of the year It is also con ceded that the rail mills will be pressed with orders to the last day of the year. Electric traction lines projected or il, contemplation would almost unaided keep the rail mills busy.
 The warm season of the year is com ing on when wire and wire nails and various other products of the mills will be needed in great quantities in a great country, and a rush of orders may change the present aspect of the iron and steel markets, and prices may again go upward. The great industry has reached a critical point, and the present month will perhaps determine the course of prices during the rest of the year.

The Late General sohofieId.

Lieut.. Gen. John NJ Schofield, U. S. A., retired, who died in Florida Sunday, was the last of the great commanders of the union forces in the civil war" said a Confederate veteran.
 General Schoield was every inch a soldier and after the bloody strife was friendly to the south in marked de- gree. He was always a democrat. When he was in command at Richmond, he won many friends His friendly policy to- ward Virginia made him, indeed, almost an idol in Richmond.
 "The last time I met General Schofield was in Washington just before the Span ish war. He was called to Washington by President Mckinley as military ad- visor to the administration. He was then on the retired list but his experience and his military genius rendered him a most valuable adviser. General Miles was the commanding officer of the army and he and his friends resented the fact that General Sehofeld was acting as adviser to the President. The retired Lieutenant General was proverbially tactful and find- ing that Miles was hurt at being super ceded even in an informal way, quickly left Washington and was heard of no more in official military circles'

China's Missionary Riots.

Local mobs have in the course of six months attacked missionaries on two occasions only in Chinese cities. Five American Presbyterian missionaries were killed at Lienchow in October of last year, and recently six Roman Catholic missionaries from France lost their lives at Nanchang.
 The trouble at Lienchow grew out of a festival outside the city of Lienchow. "A platform built for the occasion en- croached slightly upon the grounds of a hospital belonging to the American Missionary society. Dr. Machle. who had charge of the hospital, seized three "consecrated cannon on the altar He did this to secure the removal of the platform. The seizure of the "conse- crated" cannon angered the village people. and a riot followed. The Amer ican board investigated the affair, and it decided to file no claim for punitive damages. It evidently thinks Dr. Macble committed an indiscretion.
 There was an equal want'of discre' tion at Nanchang, where the French priests issued an appeal for subscrip- tions to their church in the form and with the characters used for official documents. This assumption of civil authority excited resentment among the native population especially after the priests had refused to acknowledge they had done anything wrong.
 It is plain that both cases were local. Both sprang from lack of tact on the part of missionaries who have difficult parts to fill There is no evidence in / either case of a general uprising OF sentiment similar to that of the boxer movement in 1900 There is nothing in either to justify the buster that this ccr-, try is extending to China.

Holland. Not Morocco.

The German ambassador at Wash ington. Baron Speek von Sternberg. in sists that Germany has large and sub stantial interests in Morocco, but she has no interests there that justify resort to war. She cannot possibly se- cure trade with Morocco equal to that of France and Spain. the two countries that fairly surround Morocco. Nor. can she acquire a trade with Mo- rocco equal to Great Britain's She is too far away, and there is not a foot of German territory on the Mediter- ranean, nor is there any immediate probability of any German acquisition there.
 \ London cablegram to the New York Sun attempts 10 explain the hitherto inexplicable conduct of Ger many on the Moroccan affair. If the powers represented at Algeciras decide that tho possession of special interests by France. or by France and Spain. by reason of their proximity, give them a right to claim special rights in the sul- tanate. then Germany will turn about ard apply the doctrine 10 Holland. which she has long coveted. She would not annex Holland and her valuable colonial possessions at once, but she would negotiate a commercial treaty while asserting special rights in that minor country. If a Germans prince should come to the throne of Holland, annexation then might become. possi- ble.
 The Rhine flows through Holland. and the frontier of Prussia and that of Holland are one and the same for many miles. What is good in Morocco to Frances gain, is good in Holland to the greater gain of Germany.
 If all this be true, Germany will not go 10 war if the AlgeGiras conference decides in favor of Frances claim to special rights in Morocco. She will bide her time in Holland. It is this, it is thought, that the subtle Kaiser has up his sleeve. He wants Holland. and he may want portion of Austria, oh like. grounds, in case of a breakup in that country after the death of Francis Joseph.

 3 The proposition that there shall be no forfeiture of "a policy so long as the re- serve upon it iustifes it's being carried
 4 The prohibition of deferred dividend policies.

 6. The restriction Of expenses to tho loadings on the premiums plus the mor- tality gain.
 T. The proposition to make every viola tion of the insurance law a misdemeanor
 8. The limitation of business.
 9-1O Two other collateral recommenda- tions relating to the curtailment of eX- penses and the restriction of business.
 Every company of importance in the country was represented in the New York meeting, which was held in the offices of the New York Life. No lob. byists and no lawyers are to be em. ployed, but actuaries have been se lected to present at Albany the objec tions of the insurance companies.
 This is all sound and straightfor. ward. The insurance companies are entitled to hearing, and their actu aries are men who can suggest reme- dies as well as present objections. But the New York Times intimates that individual companies will not confine their opposition to public hearings and to actuaries. It intimates that the Tel. low Dog will appear in Tony Hamil- tons old-time paths.
 The insurance companies will make a serious mistake if they resort to lobby efforts again. Open opposition should not be denounced but opposi. 
 tion of the Hamilton sort would de stroy what confidence the public has in the life companies. What they need above all else is the restoration of pub lie confidence, and this can be secured in only one way-by opposition of an open nature conducted on a high plane Anything short of that would prove hurtful. and ought not to be influential St Albany, where the need of reform is known and appreciated.
