Belief at the War Department.

If Col. Howe, commandant of cadets at
West Point, threatened to dismiss the
whole class of cadets because the members
had sent one of their number to coventry,
he overrated his authority according to the
officials of the War Department, for the
power of dismissal in such cases is not
cOnfided to any official of lower rank than
the President himself. The extent of the
commandments powers in such case would
be temporarily to suspend the offending
cadets and to recommend dismissal, first
to the superintendent of the academy, Col
Scott, and then In turn to the Secretary of
War and the President.
The War Department officials, however
do not believe that Col. Howe went to
this length, and at any rate they feel con-
fident that the matter Is one that can be
very we'll handled by the faculty and su-
perintendent at the academy without refer
ence to the department.

Mrs. Levine is Gale descendant and
when her husband bought the property he
did so because of family associations. and
both he and his wife were said to be very

small railroad on the property. which he
used in connection with his far ming opeT-

$500, 600, but the rumors shortly cut this

1t was ascertained from Assistant Cor

the original amount demanded was $4,000,

Cadet Who Is Getting Treated" Has

NEW YORK, September 6.-The silent
treatment" of plebe at West Point has
resulted in a clash between the plebe class
and the commandant, Col Robert Lee
Howe, which threatens to depIete the
supply of United States army officers four
years hence, for Col. Howe issued an
order two days ago to the effect that unless
the cadet was relieved entirely OF the
treatment he would dishonorably d g
charge the entire class.
There have been many and exacting de-
mands under the term of corps morale or
esprit de corps at West Point, but none
so unusual as this one, which promises
to entirely eliminate the new class of this

New Outlook In Chemistry.

AS is we'll known, the logical process
Of inductive reasoning based upon
carefully planned experiment Is rela-
lively new manifestation of the
power of the human intellect. The
philosophers of old imagined. observed
and reasoned, but neglected expert
mentation; the artisans, who alone
came into close contact with realities,
were unable except in the crudest fash.
ion to generalize concerning their re.
suits. Because of this separation of
thought and deed, mans knowledge OF
his environment remained for thou
sands of years in wholly undevel.
oped state. From this dormant condl.
tion natural science emerged but
slowly, although with steadily increas-
ing pace. Little by little, in spite Of
occasional pauses Of inactivity, or ap-
parent forgetfulness, human acquaint-
ance with the fundamental laws of the
universe has grown. Each century
has added something to the total, says
the Harvard Graduates Magazine; and
usually each century has added more
than any century before. What con-
trast such development presents to
that Of sculpture, for example, which
reached nearly If not quite Is highest
point of perfection more than 1000
years ago. In chemistry especially has
the acceleration been great; and the
effect Of recent growth is so remarka-
BILE that, looking back, one'is inclined
to deny the existence of any real sci
ence in chemistry century and half
ago. II the accumulation Of chemical
knowledge is depicted diagrammatical-
ly in relation to the progress of time,
measuring one in the vertical and the
other in a horizontal direction, an up
ward-pointing curve with steadily in.
creasing inclination is obtained. The
curve stops at the present day; but
unless cataclysm annihilates the
earths population and its libraries,
this line is bound to be continued.
Whittier will it lead? What further

IN POPULARITY CONTEST

An interesting feature in connection

contest" which is being conducted for
the purpose of ascertaining, II possible,
who is the most popular minister In

and, in view Of the fact that more than

was done. The names Of all the min

in a column underneath. Rev. Mr..

voting Thursday night, but 1t may be
