AMERICAN STUDENTS IN GER
 MANY

AMERICAN STUDENTS IN GER MANY.
 In the early nineties it was easier Tor foreigners to get into the Berlin Universities than it is now. To-day, I am told, certificates and diplomas from other institutions must be shown before the student can matriculate. In 1890, my matrioulating year, all that was necessary to become enrolled as a student in good standing was to have tWenty-mark piece in ones pocket to pay the matriculation fee. and per- maps nifty marks more to pay for ones 1lrst semester's lectures. Nothing was asked about ones former studies or academic training. The university was open to all male foreigners over seventeen years of age Germans had to show gymnasium, or preparatory scDool certificates, but foreigners were accepted on their face value. l l can hardly suppress a smile now when think of my entrance into this famous university. To be sure, I had the necessary amount of money. and had long since passed the required age limit, but am afraid that stock taking of my taking of my other ouali fications would have left me wofully in the lurch, had the other oualifca- tions not been taken for granted :, There were two years at an American college to my credit My German at the time had been selected principally from the coal-passers' vocabulary. a n TD
 day, at least one major study was re- }qutred, and also two minor. There were no examinations until the candi- dates for degrees were ready to pro- lmoviren, to try for their doctors de- gree. At the end of the three years, six semesters, such candidates were called before taelr professors, and made to tell what they knew both in their major and minor studies. The examination was oral and alleged to pc pretty minute, but I have been told by Japanese, with a Ph. ID. degree from Johns Hopkins University and preliminary study in German institu- tions, that, in his case, he would have preferred to take his chances in a bout lwitGl the Berlin examiners.
 The significance of the title was bv no means clear to me on matrlculat- ing in Berlin. In an indefinite sort of
 way l knew that it stood for certain learned requirements, but what these amounted to puzzled me much of the
 time, and 1t does yet. Occasionally,
 some visiting clergyman would preach
 for our local pastor in the American 1 church, and I noticed, that when a
 Ph. D. was part of his title, it was
 trough extra good form to pay extra
 attention to his discourse.- Josiah | Flynt in Success Magazine.

School Directors to Discuss New
Building.

The board of directors of the We
natchee district have called school
meeting of patrons and tax payers
from the northern part of the dis
trict to meet Friday evening at the
Lewis-Clarke schoolhouse. The
question of erecting a new brick
school building will be discussed.
The directors are particularly urging
all interested persons in the north
end to attend this meeting, and take
part in its deliberations.
The necessity for a new school
building in this part of the district
has been talked of for many months.
Three years ago there were only a
few residents in this district, but
since that time the influx of popula-
tion has been so rapid, that the pres
era building is now full to overflow
ing. Furthermore, the building it
self is in poor condition, and it is
only justice that this portion of the
district should have equal school ia
cilities will the rest of the section.
The size and nature of the build
ing desired will form the theme of
Friday nights discussion.

We have realized from our own

We have secured 20 periodicals for
the reading room, from time to time
added new books to the library and
through the kindness of the pastors
of the city and vicinity have been
able to continue the gospel servics
on Sunday afternoons.
We have secured ten new active
and four honorary members, lost one
by removal.
We have many reasons to feel en-
couraged by the prosperity accorded
us, the loyal support of citizens in
general and sincerely hope that God
will give us greater blessings and
more opportunities of usefulness in
future.

ments for the game to be played
with Waterville a week from that
date.
Among the available timber from
which Wenatchee's team is to be
chosen are Lumsden, Fred Reeves,
Jack Overdorf, Brownfield, Belser,
Bigelow, and number of newcomers
and dark horses" whose fancy
stunts with the sphere and club will
be observed at the fair grounds Sun

1t is hoped that four-team league
may be perfected for series of
games during the coming season, in
cluding Waterville, Wenatchee, Will
son Creek and Quincy. Both of these
latter have good players and there
is every probability of league be-
ing organized.

of the hospital at Leavenworth, hav-
ing been stationed there for some
two and half years. About two
years ago he removed to Wenatchee,
and at present has apartments in the
Columbia Valley Bank building. In
creasing practice has compelled him
to seek larger quarters, and the
building of the new hospital is the
result. 1t fills need felt here for
long time, as in the past surgical
cases and others requiring the treat
ment which only facilities of large,
well equipped hospital can render,
have been obliged to make the long,
rough journey over the mountains
to Seattle, or go east to Spokane.
Miss Lawrence, the we'll known
professional nurse, will become mat
ron of the new institution.
While the hospital will be prac-
tically a private institution, still ar
rangements will be made with the
authorities for the care of charity
patients as well.

Manager Algernon Dickson, of the
Waterville baseball team, passed
through Wenatchee last night en-
route to Seattle, in the interest of
his nine, though he went ostensibly
ION business" 1t is understood that
in Seattle he will endeavor to pick up
a few semi-professional players for
the approaching season. They have
a neat little game up at Waterville
of securing LOB" soft ones
for prospective players, and then
running them in on the astonished
fans at the opening game. of the
season. 1t is believed that similar
plan will be attempted with the
local team.
Waterville now has a swift, snap
py team, including Packenham and
Russell, who played last year with
Wenatchee. Two hundred dollars q
month has been subscribed, for a
four-months' season, and games have
already been arranged for with some
of the best amatuer teams in the
northwest, including Blair Business
College of Spokane, the State Uni
versity team, the Superiors of Seat
tie. Monroe and other coast towns.
The Wenatchee Swatters are be-
ing marshalled and organized by
Stats Green, and efforts to secure a
diamond on the site between the de-
pot and the river are being made.
This land is the property of the We
natchee Development company, and
Judge Burke has consented to allow
it to be used for baseball grounds.
Courtway Brothers will level and
prepare the grounds for $500. This
amount could no doubt be raised by
popular subscription in very short
time, and beyond the expense of 1T
ting up the grounds the team would
be self-supporting.
On Sunday the players, old and
new, will trot few trial heats out
at the old fair grounds, and pros
pective team selected from the show
ings made, which team will play
Waterville a week from Sunday.
Frank F. Keller, the old time east
ern magnate, will be asked to man.

coming season. An attempt will also
be made to induce the Comercial
Club to assist in making the Wenat-

Dr. w. M. Mccoy, one Of Wenat-
chee's best known physicians and
surgeons, yesterday purchased three
beautifully situated lots in the Mob
Hill addition, upon which he plans
to erect a fashionable private hos
pital.
The new structure will have seven
ty-ive foot frontage, will be two
stories in height, and built with a
view to perfect comfort for its oc-
cupants coupled with the highest de-
gree of sanitation. All the surgical
and other equipment will be of the
most modern and practical nature,
and nothing will be left undone to
give Wenatchee a high class private
hospital
The site of the new building will
be just opposite the residence of j..
M. Jack, one of the best locations in
the city. Ground will be broken for
laying the foundations of the new
building at once.

Paradise Valley News Notes.

Did the reader ask, where is Para
disc? For answer We would reply.
In the center of the fruit growing
districe of the Wenatchee valley,
about three miles above Cashmere.
The sun never shone on fairer land
than is Paradise valley. 1t is like
Jerusalem, beautiful for situation.
Our community was much perturb-
ed last week over report that an
Neffort was to be made to have the
Henry bridge, which was damaged
by the flood last fall, taken down
and relocated across the river at a
point above the old Thomas Stewart
ranch. Several of our citizens were
before the county commissioners at
their recent meeting, with numer-
ously signed petition to have the
bridge repaired and to protest against
its removal. Success crowned their
efforts, for not only is the bridge to
be repaired, but we are promised a
new and more substantial steel
bridge two years hence. The old
bridge will be used to bridge some
smaller stream. For their efforts
to secure a bridge the people Of Pc
shastin are to have new steel bridge
the coming summer. Everyone Is
pleased at the result.
At the same time there was pre-
sented to the attention of the COM
missioners the urgent need of road
to run south from w. M. Kinney's
house, up through the upper part OF
the valley, and over across the ridge
to Schmitten's saw mill. The pre-
liminary work having been done and
the survey made, the road was allow
ed by the board, to point above the
Peshastin ditch, where it was halted,
by reason of one of the property
owners refusing to sign waiver.
This road across the hill would
prove a great convenience to all con-
cerned, even to the obstructionists,
if only they could see it that way.
AS it is the road opens up to the
highways several hundred acres of
fine farm and fruit land. Many
thanks to the commissioners.

Fought for Five a Side.

Macpherson and MacKay, two
Scottish clansmen, partook of strange
fire water with the usual result last
night. In the fullness of time, which
happened to be about ten o'clock,
they fell on each other armed with
those primitive weapons, the fists,
and pulled of a few evenly contested
rounds in front of Leavenworth's
place. They told their troubles to
Judge Palmer this morning, and he
collected five each, admonishing
them to go and sin no more.

1t is reported on fairly good au-
thority that the Great Northern rail-
road company will put in siding at
Paradise this summer on the land
, donated for that purpose by Messrs.
Amos and Cade. This is good news.
Then with a depot and warehouse,
Paradise will have shipping point
second to none in the Wenatchee val
ley. Already we can foresee a
sprightly town springing up there.
With a bridge across the river at
Sherman's mill, together with the
bridges now in place and those or
dered or in process of building, there
will be good road from Leaven-
worth to the Columbia valley, free
from the laborious and dangerous
grades. With the advent of the oft
repeated trips of the modern elec-
trio car, which in this day and age,
like the telephone, are almost ne
cessity, we shall become really quite
cosmopolitan. Dreams? No, reader,
not dreams, these times will be ac-
Qualities at no distant day. Let the
good work go on. Talk for it, work
for it, rustic for it. Nothing hastens
the development Of a country more
than the frequent trips Of the troll
ley car. Observation has proved that
IL a community is to be developed
and improved, nothing will do it
quicker than to push the electric
lines. Improvement follows as a re-
suit.
Several new houses will be erected
in the Paradise district the coming
summer. We welcome the arrival
of the new settlers. There is room
for more.
Mrs. Henry Kimber, who for sew
eral weeks has been seriously i'll with
typhoid fever, is now convalescent.
We are glad to hear of her promise
of recovery.
The recent arrival at their home
of bouncing boy, is the pride and
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Miller.
Several thousand trees will e
planted this spring in our vicinity,
principally apple trees, the soil being
particularly adapted to the growth,
perfecting and coloring of the ap-
pie. The Big Red Apple does well
here.
Mr.. Lawrence Cade's little girl was
quite sick with fever last week.
For a time it was feared she was
going to have a siege Of typhoid few
er. Prompt attention by DR.. Martin
warded it of and the little girl is
now convalescent.
w. NJ. Kinney, Thomas Henry and
DR.. C. H. Burbank were visitors at
Wenatchee last week, looking after
matters of public interest.
