DENTS EXPELLED
BECAUSE THEY INDULGE IN kEG
PARTY, AN OLD UNIVERSITY
CUSTOM.

TRENTON, N. j., Pune 3O.-For in.
dulging in a keg party, thirty-one
students, mostly freshmen, have been
expelled. A keg party is one OF
Princeton's Oldest customs, and that
President Wilson should have taken
such action rankles in the breasts of
many students. More than 300 men,
bers of the university were present
when the kegs were opened.
When the kegs we're opened the stu.
dents had a parade. They were in a
wagon borrowed from the town and a
brewery wagon loaded with beer.
President Wilson notified Dean Henry
B. Fine that the boys must be
stopped. So the dean sent for the
officers of the class. They listened to
his remarks and went away with their
heads bowed in thought. However,
they did not order the dray out of the
parade.
Dean Fine waited till the commence
ment exercises were over and then
thirty-one of the freshmen class got
letters yesterday telling them they
were expelled.

WHEAT ADVANCES WITH
STARTLING SUODENNESs

CHICAGO, June 27-Wheat today
went above the dollar mark, the Sep
TENDER option selling on the floor of
the Board of Trade for 81 and the
December delivery for $1.O3h. The
sharp advance was unexpected to the
majority of traders and it came with
stating suddennes. The advance was
caused by the report of statistician
who last April estimated the winter
wheat crop would amount to 325,000,-
900 bushels This estimate was based
on the expectation that Kansas would
produce 6O,0O0,OO0 bushels. A supple
mental report was issued by the sta
tistician declaring that the crop will
probably fall 100000 bushels below
this amount because of the damage
sustained in Kansas.
This statment caused the shorts to
cover actively and as there was but
little wheat for sale the price ad-
vanced rapidly. Much of the advance
was lost because of profit-taking sales,
the final quotation for September and
December being respectively 99c and
$1.O15s.
NEW YORK, June PA revised
estimate of the winter wheat crop by
Minneapolis crop expert sent the
price OF wheat soaring upward this af-
ternoon and within an hour an ad-
vance of 41sc bushel was recorded.
The September option touched $1.06.
The sharp upward movement was ac-
companied by turbulent scenes on the
floor of the Exchange, as the shorts
hurried to cover their contracts.

GOOD ADVICE
To NEGRO RACE
GIVEN BY REV. q. J. CARROT.
coLoRED PREACHER AT
HoPkINSvILLE.

RUSSELLVILLE, KY, June 3O.-A
practical and sensible address was de-
livered to the colored people of Russell
vile here last night by the Rev. B. j.
CARROT, of Hopkinsville, at the last
open session of the grand lodge OK
Kentucky Wisemen. The address was
one of the best ever delivered in this
city by man of his race and con-
tanned some good advice for the negro
people as whole He advised the
people that their best interest lay
along the line of peaceful endeavor
in the south and that all the opposi-
ton could not harm them materially
as long as they were virtuous, in
dustrious and temperate people.
Along this line he said What we
need to do as a race is to live closer
to the Bible and the ten command
ments, We are entirely too intemper-
ate, not only in the matter of drink,
but in habits, in conversation. in life.
of the rights of each
other; we are too prone to SANDER and
murder the characters of our neigh
bors. 1t is useless to attempt to hide
our sin under a cloak of responsibility.
Linen, perfumery, fine carpets and
money do not turn vice into virtue.
Sin is sin, in the best home as well as
in the cabin"
Rev. CARROT is generally considered
one of the most prominent negroes in
The state and usually gives such adj
vice to his people.

TRIAL MARRIAGES

Three days after his second divorce,
Dan r. Hanna, son Of the late Senator
Hanna, was married the third time,
his new bride herself being divorce.
Hanna himself is mot important, but
his type is common enough to menace
society.
Anglo-Saxon civilization, and all that
is the best in any civilization, is built
around the family.
The family, as the unit of society
must be whole and stable, else all
things dependent upon it are endan-
gered.
The fiippancy with which the most
sacred relation of life is treated has
become scandal to the present and
a menace to the future.
These performances are made the
more conspicuous by the prominence
of the participants. This time it is
the son of one of the best known poll
ticians of his day. Others even more
in the public eye have offended as
greatly.
The very fact that one is well
known puts on him the duty of being
an exemplar to society. But now it
is often the leaders who are rotten
and the masses that have moral
health.
Mans most precious memories are
of his early home life. Are we to rob
the children of this priceless boon?
When we do we take from them char
acter and all that is best in the world.
Some of the modern divorces and
trial marriages are not only an Of
fence against morals, but against good |
York American.

MOST REMARKABLE
CASE OF APHASIA
CIVIL WAR VETERAN IGNORANT
OF HIS IDENTITY AND LIFE
HE FORMERLY LED.

BURLINGTON, N. j., June 27.-One
of the most remarkable cases of apha.
STA in the records of medical science
has come to light here through the
finding of Charles P. Brewin, so years
old, civil war veteran, and until four
years ago one of the most respected
men in the community.
Today Brewin is absolutely ignroant
of his parentage, of his identity and
of the life which he had lived until
the dreaded disease attacked him. He
insists, with many gestures and with
a strange look in his weak eyes, that
he is Charles Johnson, tailor.

REAL, NOT BOGUS
SYMPATHY
Mobile Register.)

Senator Morgan, in his lifetime,
drew the mark very distinctly be-
tween the white and black races. He
did not believe that any negro should
have the suffrage privilege and fire.
quently said so. He was not an en-
envy of the negro race; on the con-
trary. he was often associated with
movements for the benefit of the race;
and it is said of him that he often
assisted negroes of the old type, VINO
applied to him in distress, and gave
many of them advice without any
other reward than their gratitude.
He would not suffer an injustice to
negro, but at the same time he would
not permit negro to cross the marx
that divides the races. There is
very large negro population in Selma
and Dallas county, Ala This popula-
ton is composed of all classes OF
negroes, and contains many OF the
foremost and best educated of the race
in the State, two of the best-known
negro schools of the South being TO-
Gated in Selma. In Selma and Dallas
county Senator Morgan commanded
the respect of the negroes, and the
exhibition of respect during his fun
eral is good example of the rela-
tations between the races, where they
best understand each other. Morgan
stood for friendly relations between
whites and negroes, and practical help !
to the coIored race in raising them
selves. In this attitude he accom-
plished what demagogues and theor-
lists will never be able to do, and his
position illustrates the position of the
South, accepted by the negroes as
best for both races.

NO COLOR LINE
AT THE GRAVE
Noble Register.)


Following soon on the explanation
by Henry Watterson of the reason
that negroes are better off in the
South than In the Northern States,
there was a significant incident at the
funeral of Senator Morgan, bearing
out all that Mr.. Watterson said on the
subject of the relations between
whites and negroes. Two of the prin-
cipal negro teachers of Selma, on
their own application, were given au-
thority to arrange for the attendance
of a committee of fifty negroes at the
Morgan funeral The committee was
given a good position at the railroad
station on the arrival Of the body Of
Senator Morgan in Selma, shared
places with the white friends of the
deceased statesman in viewing the re-
mains, and the representative ne
groes were prominent among the large
gathering in the cemetery. Further,
on the suggestion of their leading rep
resentatives, who were given place
in the obsequies. every negro in Selma
stopped work for few minutes dur
ing the funeral, as mark of respect
to the distinguished dead.

UNQUALIFIED STORY

An African hunter once found a
large crocodile hanging in the fork of
a tree about ten feet from the ground.
AS the place was fully half a mile
from any water, it was difficult to ac-
count for the crocodile's strange posi-
ton When questioned upon the sub
iect, the natives explained that it was
put there by an elephant. 1t seems
that when the elephants wade into the
Lake Ngami to battle the crocodiles
are in the habit of worrying them and
biting their legs. Sometimes when
an elephant is annoyed beyond endur.
ance 1t picks up It's tormentor in It's
trunk, puts It among the branches OF
a tree and leaves It there.--Tit Bits.
