AN OXFORD STUDENT
A GLIMPSE OF COLLEGE LIFE
 IN ENGLAND.
An American Students Impression of the Famous University-Culture and Not Cramming - The
 Air of Ease.

The first thing that strikes an Amer ican student beginning study at this fla nous university, is that everything is so awfully English, you know.
 There is the hospitality, there is the daily afternoon tea, and there is the wine drinking. Also, what specially i'm presses the American is the large ease, the time enough-very different from the strenuousness of many seats of learning.
 We were not a little interested in reading recent article on Our Rhodes Scholars at Oxford" and noting what impression the air of ease had made on one American student. This young gen. tleman observes: ''If man seeks for mere book learning it would perhaps be wiser for him to go to Chicago, Paris or Heidelberg-where he can have his wants served strictly la carte in mod ern style-than to come to Oxford. What Oxford has to give student is of a nature quite different from what any American, French or German university can offer" And then the writer goes on to tell us that the Oxford degree does not mean that so many dusty tonnes have been digesyed, as that a life of singular sdggestiveness, charm and potency has been lived for at least three years" One gathers that the Oxford atmosphere makes for culture, that this culture must be absorbed, cannot be bolted.
 He mentions that not a few of the American Rhodes scholars have found fault with conditions that allow a man to shirk if he has mind that way, and grants that the man may shirk for reason, but sooner or later will have to make up for lost time-that is, if he de- sires to get degree of the sort to which any honor at all attaches. At Oxford there are pass schools and honor schools, the former apparently designed for those that wish to procure degree at very little trouble. But pass degree is not we'll esteemed. and a student with any ambition at all tries for the degree in the honor schools.
 The tutor system is considered a most excellent feature of Oxford life. A student beginning work of his final school is assigned to tutor who con- tinues his special guide and mentor until his degree is received. The tutor advises the student as to the work he ought to do. the lectures attend, and gives him a long list of books; once a week the tutor meets his group of stu

room. He may partake in solitary state or, as usually happens, breakfast with a classmate or group of fellows. Invita- tions to breakfast are common cour- tesies and the hour after the matiu meal often devoted to social interchange and social pipe. From ten to one, books and lectures.
 The afternoon the Oxonian spends out of doors-for that is what the Eng lishman considers afternoon is made for. Rowing, walking, hockey, cricket, tennis, polo-any number of sports out of doors, and then another social hour. over afternoon tea, a manly function" at Oxford. Dinner takes place in hall," an old-time building where old time customs obtain. In the evening a man studies or seeks diversion, as it may happen. If he desires to go out of college he must leave before nine o'clock; if he stays out later than nine he is fined; if he stays out later than 13 it is very dreadful offense, for which he may be "sent down." Wherefore a trip to London, two hours away, and theater party there, is quite out of the question. The American Rhodes schol- ars in residence at Oxford must have to adapt themselves to many things.

After a two days hearing in New
 York during which it was shown
 that there were all sorts of misrep-
 resentations practiced in the freight shipping business. the interstate, conl- merce commissioners drifted back to
 Washington with a garrulous inde- cision as to whether or not there would be any prosecutions as the re- suit of their investigation. It was shown that the freight conditions in
 New York were about as bad as the : could be. says our Washington corre- spondent. The vast majority of the shippers out of the big city billed their freight under the regulation schedule as a matter of course. If they were caught at it, no matter. they had no penalty to suffer, and if they were not caught so much to the good. It was shown in the hear ing that there was an average Jf 34. 1000 corrections" a month made by the freight inspectors in the bills of lading. and this did not take aC- count of the number Of cases that got through either by collusion or otherwise. It was shown that the stealings attempted in this way were in the individual case small. but there were enough of them in the last three weeks of January to mark up the freight bill of the railroads s17.O00. This was on corrections in the bills of lading that ran from a few cents to a few dollars. It was in reality petty larceny on a grand scale. The commissioners remarked wesriIy when they came back that they did not know whether there would be any proceedings against the shippers or not The individual eases were so trising and it vas % hard to trace any of them directly to the of the rlanufsctories who were responsible and to prove frsud- uIent intent But the fraudulent in- tent vas there all right and if there are 20 proceedings it will only prove that it Is as szsy and cheaper to bs

A plan of interest to all cotton growing land cotton milling sections of the country, has been devised by the department of commerce and la bor. It has been decided to push our cotton goods trade in the orient for all it is worth, and to successfully compete in that part of the world the manufacturer must know what the market requires. One cannot sell China the same goods that go in the United States. They have their own patterns and colors and sizes of ma terial. T"' ','F'

Indian Industry,

The Swadeshi movement in India has given great impetus to the woollen industry in Kashmir. The native hand loom weavers find them selves unable to keep pace with the demand, and prices have gone up con- siderably. Owing to the same cause some of the Indian cotton mills have been declaring dividends of from 15 to 20 per cent.

rHE PRIsoNER,s PLACE.

When a man is sentenced to jail, that is where he should be actually and not constructively. There may be appar- ent reasons why a prisoner will not abuse the confidence of his jailors, but if he is confined where he ought to be, there can be no abuse of confidence.
 In the light of what was disclosed by the emptiness of Constable Red wines cot at the county jail yesterday morning. the full extent of the unnec- essary risk assumed by the sheriff's of flee in his case loomed up painfully and conspicuously.
 It might have been assumed that a man would not become a fugitive from justice and cut loose forever from a community, just to escape from a short jail sentence which was being made as comfortable and as easy for him as pos sible. In this event the assumption was wrong, and it is again demonstrat- ed that it is dangerous as well as inn proper for those who have the custody of prisoners to assume anything re- garding their conduct.
 The lesson has been a costly one and will therefore doubtless be of profit to the sheriffs office of this county for years to come.
 Leaving out the unnecessary risk. there was no reason why any consid- eration should have been shown the late prisoner. He had pleaded guilty to a crime meaner and more cowardly than highway robbery, that of extor- ting money from a prisoner under color of office, a crime which the coming legislature will probably list among felonies where it ought to be.

THE CANTEEN.

The surgeon general of the United States army recently alluded to the abolition of the army canteen as a crime. reiterating in stronger lan- guage the views of every army of ficer of prominence, except General Miles, who has expressed himself on the subject.
 The latest statistics prove that there is now more drunkenness in the Unit ed States army than in other army in the world, that is more cases in pro portion to the number of men en- ployed are reported This condi- tion, it is further shown by the sta tistics, has grown up since the aboli. tion of the canteen. The soldiers un- able to obtain beer or wine within the military reservations naturally seek more potent beverages at the nearest doggeries where they drink without restraint
 It may be said that if there had been a canteen at Fort Reno there would have been no riot at Brownsville ex- citing the entire state of Texas, ending in the loss of a battalion of the United States army and a scandal which has become national.
