HOWARD COLLEGE
 HAPPILY OPENED
ENROLMENT HAS ALREADY PASSED 150 MARK AND WILL PROBABLY REACH 2oo-A FINE OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR.

The opening of Howard college yes terday was the brightest In the history of the institution, and though marred by the absence of President Montague who is absent on committee work at the Jamestown exposition, the opening exercises were well attended and were a credit to the faculty in each partic ular.
 Though yesterday was the first day the college officially received students, the enrolment was unusually large, and pupils will continue to arrive for the remainder of the week, and a number are expected as late as next week. The outlook for ths coming tecm is ths brightest in the history of the institu- on. not only from poinr of attendance, but as regarding faculty. general eff clsncy of departments and the person. ncl Of the students,
 The predtctIcu of Presic ant Montague, made more than two weeks ago, that the enrolment for the ensuing term would pass the 150 mark, has already been verified. and the members of the faculty are firm in the belief that the number of students will be nearer 200. Both students and faculty are busily engaged in making preparations for earnest work the next week. Though there Is necessarily some confusion the first few days of the term. 1t requires only a short time to get all departments of the school into running shape. The officials of the colleges are very much pleased at the prospects.

AdirondaclSs; Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Sag amore' preserve includes 1529 acres in Hamilton county, New York; Dr. w. Sew> ard Webb has 42,000 acres in the same region, the tract being called "Ne-ha-sa- me-" and John Wanamaker has a twen- ty-f1ve acre preserve at "Lindenhurst," in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania. The largest private game preserve in North America, and probably the largest in the world, is that of Henri Menier, the choc- olate manufacturer of Paris This Is ,600- 000 acres in extent, occupying the entire surface of Anticosti island, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and is a part of the province of Quebec. Game, fish and fur bearing animals are bred there, and ex- periments are being made in crossing the red and silver fox.
 The oldest game preserve in the United States js Washington's private home grounds at Mount Vernon. for there deer were bred in captivity long before tha revolution. The next oldest Is that known as Caton Deer Park, in La Salle county, Illinois. This was established as early as 1859 by Judge John Dean Caton. an enthusiastic hunter and fisher. who later turned his attention to a scientific study of deer and wrote most interesting book on the subject. The hunter and breeder of game does not always choose the mountain for his preserves. Two of the leading ones are on islands. Jekyl Island, Georgia, is leased to a club and has IA. a0o of it's acres stocked with all game dear to q southern sportsman's heart; and An teope Island Tn Great Salt Lake. twenty miles northwest of Salt Lake City is the eleven-year-old preserve of 50,00G acres that has been set apart by the Island Im- provement company chiefly for the preser- vatlon of buffalo

REVISION OF GRADES.
Committee of New York Cotton Ex-
 change Makes Changes.

New York, September 1.-The regular September meeting of the revision com mittee of the New York cotton exchange was held after the close of business this afternoon. Much interest had been taken in the probable action of the committee, owing to the big discount at which local contracts had been selling as compared with middling cotton in the open market and the trade had anticipated that the action of the committee would bring the contract about 50 points nearer parity with the middling grade.
 The revision committee announced re- duced premiums on the high grades, about p points, but gave increased penalties on the low grades of from about 20 to 100 points, with the penalties particularly severe on the tinged and stained cotton. A revision of about 30 points had prob ably been dsgNounted.
 The following will show the present differences on and off middling compared with those In force previously:

TOO MANY PEOPLE
 ARE USING PASSES Mississippi Railroad Commis-
 Sisn is Questioned MATTER UP TO GRAND JURY
It is Tinted That Railroad Comnls- soners Have Procured Many Passes for Frlends-Whiskey
 Used In the Primaries.

Jackson, Miss, September 11.-CSpeclal) the state house today when 1t became known that the secretary of the railroad commission had been summoned to appear before the grand jury, and to bring hls record of passes issued by the railroads" !" It was known to but few that such ci- tation had been made but those few were very decidedly interested. Secretary Max well must have had an Idea that passes had been issued to more persons than had any legal right to them, though it is none of his personal business. After looking over the code chapters which regulate the issuance of passes by railroads in Mis- sssippi, he was evidently unsatisHed, and forthwith crossed the hall to the office of the attorney general of the state, where he remained closeted some time, and where they went over the law bear ing on the subject together. It was mo- where found that the railroad commits sioners are liable to prosecution for pro- curing passes for friends, but the rail- road issuing the pass and the person who uses the pass may be dealt with very roughly by the courts. The result of the visit of the secretary of the commission to the grand jury room has not yet been made public, but 1t Is freely predicted that indictments will be found against all the big railroads in the state and against scores of individuals who have been using the masses
