The great 20" railroad has is
sued an order to trainmen forbid
ding the wearing of whiskers, and
loud wall, and in some instances
something stronger, is going up
from the conductors and fagmen
in consequence. just what reason
is given for the order has not been
disclosed. so far as I know, but
one thing [ do know and that is
that some of those old dads who
have been on the same run for
thirty years will look mighty
strange when shorn of their lilacs.
Two Iowa doctors have been
sued for malpractice by a man
who claims they sewed up a
sponge in his body after perform
ing an operation. On just what
grounds he bases his claim for
damages has not been disclosed;
whether he fears that the sponge
will be absorbed thru the cap
illaries into his system and thus
make him a chronic "sponger" or
whether he is mad because the
practitioners did not leave a whole
kit of tools in his system, depo-
nent saith not.
Some sixty or seventy centuries
ago according to an ancient
Egyptian tradition, Mercury and
the Moon engaged in a game at
dice, the stakes being the five
days necessary to fill out the full
year according to the Egyptian
calendar. Mercury won and the
five days were accordingly added
to the year. Had the Moon won
in this mighty game of dice which
has in it's result changed the
marking of time all thru the ages
the lunar or thirty day month
would be in vogue today and many
complications in the figuring of
time would have been avoided.
The remains of little Horace
Marvin have been found on farm
adjoining that of his father near
Dover, Del. Careful examination
of the body leads to the certain
conclusion that the little boy was
not murdered but persisted from
hunger and exposure. While his
death, under the circumstances, is
a source of keen agony to his par
ents, yet there must be sad sat-
isfaction to them in knowing the
fate of the handsome boy; salts
faction which was forever denied
the family of Charlie Ross The
public and especially that part of
it which has small boys and girls
of it's own, will rejoice to know
that the world is innocent of at
least one dreadful crime; the kid
mapping of this Innocent little
boy, in the hope of winning a
money tribute from his distracted
parents.
If man cannot teach himself
to deny himself Injuries the
chances are be will always remain
poor in purse. No man who is
starting out for himself, especially
if he is dependent on his own ex-
ertions for success can afford the
constant financial drain caused by
petty expenses. A ten cent cigar
once day looks like little thing;
yet had one gone without it he
would be $3.50 richer ct the end
OF the year to say nothing of the
value of the habit of saving. $780,
90 loaned for twenty years at sim
pie interest would return more
than a thousand dollars; tidy sum
to result from the curbing of the
desire for one little indnIoanoo

On the front page of this issue
is a character sketch of Henrik
Ibsen, Norway's only great poet,
author, and dramatist. The arti-
Gle was written by a fellow country
men of the author; and while he
speaks Familiarity Of his home life,
he endeavors to point out the pre-
eminence of Ibsen as an analytic
writer. Whether he did justice
to his subject, we leave it to our
readers to Judge. Nevertheless,
we think the writer did remark
ably we'll considering his limited
command of the English language.

TWENTY-FIVE GIVEN DEGREES
Commencement Exercises Held at
Trinity College.
Apostolic Delegate DiOmede Fall
COMO COnfers MOnOrs to Fair,
Young Graduates.

Commencement exercises at Trinity Col
lege yesterday. when twenty-five young
women received their degrees marked the
close OF the most successful scholastic
year in the history Of that institution.
His ExcellenCy Diomede Falconio con-
ferred the degrees before a large audience
composed mainly Of friends Of the girls
and Of the institution.
Rev DR.. Thomas Shahan, Of the Cath
Ole University, presented the young
women to the papal delegate. Walter
George Smith, Of Philadelphia. delivered
the address TO the graduates taking as
his subject "Women's Responsibility in
Modern Life" He was particularly bit
ter toward the divorce evil. aud he said
he regarded II as the greatest blot on an
otherwise wonderful country. He spoke
Of the position which woman holds to-day
in American civilization. and stated that
there was a frank tendency toward the
recognition Of her equality and rights.
As indicative OF the changes IN modern
civilization in this line he pointed 20 the
present divorce evil. The whole structure
OF human life rests on the home. he
stated: and on the wOmans Christian
idea Of marriage must rest the stability
OF our social conditions. The speaker
thought. he said. that the material view
of marriage-that it was for the selfish
happiness Of the parties-is too prevalent
After the singing Of an anthem Of
thanksgiving by the graduating class,
Mgr Falconio presented his congratula-
tions to the class, and 20 their teachers.
whose success the graduation reflected,
and closed with a blessing.

THIS CAT HAS GREEN KITTEN.
Not Nature Faker, but just Freak
of Nature.
spcci,l to The Washington Herald.

SPECIAL 10 The Washington Herald,
Baltimore Md. June At may all
sound like a fairy tale, or an echo Of the
nature faker discussions. but the fact is
that Mrs. Rachel Carter, of 1894 McHenry
street, Southwest Baltimore, is the proud
possessor of five eight-day-old green kit
tens. Not yellow. nor brown. nor tor
toise-shell-these kittens are really green
of such a shade as the inside OF a half
ripe cantaloupe or the plumage Of many
canary birds when. instead of yellow.
their coats take on a delicate tint of
green
That the cats are purely a freak of
nature seems certain. as the mother Of
the litter Of five kittens is coal-black,
and there is nothing apparently in the
environment to account scientifically for
the variation from type. The kittens
have black hair on their backs, extend
ing down the sides while underneath the
green hair begins TO extend over the
whole under surface, exactly as many
animals possess white hair shading from
a coat of black.

The crop reporting board OF the De

nounced that It had found. after careful
Investigation that its estimate OF cotton
planted last year was too low. 1t has re-
vised the figures, therefore, and now gives
them as 10000 acres.
Il estimates that the acreage planted

was 700, as compared with 46 per cent

1876 and 1896. respectively. and a ten-year
average Of S35
The difference OF only IlGCo between this

SANDERS RETAINS OFFICE.
President Not Anxious to Disturb
Political situation in New York.

Although his resignation was demanded
and rendered early in April. Archie San
ders still holds the office of collector of
customs for the western district of New
York, and from what's being said in ad-
ministration circles he is not likely 10 be
disturbed for some time.
The political situation in New York, il
was declared yesterday, was much more
satisfactory than it had been. This
means, of course, the situation within the
Republican party. Factions were coming
together and differences were disappear
ing. ii was claimed.
To remove Collector Sanders might
serve again to arouse bad feeling, II Is
argued, and the administration is content
apparently. 10 let we'll enough alone, which
is equivalent to letting Mr.. Sanders
alone.
There is reason 10 believe that Mr., San
ders will be permitted to retain his Office
until July at least, and probably for a
longer period Political primaries for
county officers are being held in New
York and II is regarded as the part Of
unwisdom TO attract attention TO factlonal
differences.
1t is evident that no additional move will
be made TO carry out the original plan Of
backing up Gov Hughes by removing
those Of his enemies who hold Federal
positions.

INTERPRETS LANSING TALK.
President Says He Did Not Have
Harvard Presidency In Mind

In view of the continued discussion con-
Meeting President ROOseveit's name with
the presidency Of Harvard University,
it was authoritatlvely said at the White
House yesterday afternoon that the Presi-
dent did not have the Harvard presidency
in mind when he spoke 10 the Associated
Harvard Clubs at Lansing, Mich, last
week
He told the delegation that waited on
him Just before he left the Michigan capt.
tai that in year and eleven months he
hoped TO become an active member of
their organization. It was officially ex-
planned that the President did not have
in mind a position at the head of the
university when he spoke these words,
but that he meant merely that he hoped
10 take an active part in alumni affairs.

GOOD REPORT FROM PANAMA.
Canal Excavation for May Is 69O,-
365 Cubic Yards.

The Secretary Of War received yester-
day a cable dispatch from Col. Goethals,
chief engineer of the Isthmlan Canal
Commission. on the isthmus, stating that
the excavation in the Culebra cut for the
month Of May was O365 cubic yards, and
at Gatun 7o,36O cubic yards.
While this shows a decrease from the
excavation for March and April. due
chiefly TO the rainy season, it is a large
increase over May Of 1906 when the total
excavation for the month was 1855 cubic
yards. This is. In fact, the largest total
excavation for any single month. except
for the months of March and April Of this
year.
