DePauw May Lose its President.

1t is possible that DR.. Edwin Holt
Hughes, president of DePauw Uni
vcrsity, will be made bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church when the
general conference meets next spring.
Several of the pre- -ent bishops prob
ably will be placed on the superan-
nuated list and their places be filed
by younger men. However, when
questioned concerning the possibility
of such action on the part of the
church, President Hughes said he
knew nothing of the attitude of the
conference on the appointment of
new bishops.
President Hughes connection with
DePauw has been very profitable to
the institution, the attendance having
grown during his four years incum-
bency, from SIS to OFT. In the event
that President Hughes is made a
bishop, the board of trustees may find
it difficult to fill his place. President

Death Mask of Shakespeare.

The announcement by Prof Lud-
wig Lewissohn a noted German
Shakspearean scholar, of his convic-
ton, after years of careful study, o!
the authenticity of the Kesselstadt
death mark of Shakespeare, renews
interest in that remarkable plaster
portrait
The mask was discovered in a rag
shop in Mayense in ls49 by DIR. Lud-
wig Becker, librarian of the ducal
palace. 1t bore a strong resemblance
to a portrait of Shakespeare dated
1857, and a general similarity to sew
eral other portraits which are better
known.
Prof. Lewissohn, at first extremely
skeptical regarding the genuineness
of the death mask, is now fully con-
WINGED of its authenticity. He has
made most careful comparisons of it
with every portrait extant, in a period
covering many years, during the ma
jority of which he inclined to the be-
lief that the mask was spurious
The mask bears all the signs OF
great age and all experts who have
seen it agree that it is several hun
dred years old The only doubt, now
cleared away. was whether the mask
really was that of the dead Shakes
peare or some one else who greatly
resembled him. English literary cir
cles are much interested in Prof.
Lewissohn's announcement.

Thaw Trial Leads to Failure.

Efforts Of the Tfaw family o raise
money for the second trial OF Harry
X. Thaw have led TO the failure of
Pitsburg firm. Beezcr Bros, archi-
tects, have been thrown into bank
ruptcy proceedings by demand for
the prompt payment of loan from
Mrs William Thaw, moth of the
slayer of Stanford White. The
amount is 100000.
This firm drew the plans for the
new residence in which Mrs Thaw
is now living. She was so pleased
with the results that she consented
to loan the firm 100000 that i might
branch out
This money and any other that
can be obtained quickly is necessary
to defray the expenses of Thaw's
second trial. The Thaw fortune has
not been impaired. because most of
il is held in trust, but large
amount of cash is needed. To this
end Mrs. Thaw placed a mortg age

Fears Mexico Will Occupy Territory

In diplomatic circles at Guatemala.
it is rumored that Mexico is deter
mined to interfere in the affairs of
Guatemala. Even if the Mexican cit
liens, charged with being connected
with the attempt on the life of Presi-
dent Cabrera are exonorated, it, is
asserted that another pretext will be
found. 1t is reported that pressure
is being brought to bear on the exec
utive from different quarters for and
against making an example OF some
of the condemned men, and that
should d single prisoner be executed
this would furnish the pretext for
which Mexico is waiting. She i'm
mediately would demand the consent
of the authorities a. Washington to
march into Guatemala on the plea Of
humanity, under circumstances SINH
lar to The American occupation OF
Cuba. 1t is further said here that
the Guatemalan administration will
be obliged to make an example of
some of the prisoners, for the effect
which it will have on the discomfort
ed element, and thus assure internal
peace
Should Mexico's attitude assume a
hostile phase it is hoped that Wash
ington will intervene. Fears of com
plications with other countries are
pronounced to be groundless.
The flibustering expedition that
recently landed at Acajutla and
marched to Sonsonate, where it was
defeated by Salvadorean troops, in all
probability came from Nicaragua.
The filibusters acted in unison with
band of Salvadorean revolutionists,
and there is reason to believe that
the entire movement was supported
by President Zelaya of Nicaragua.

Roads to Cut Fares to &C Basis.

Passenger rates on all railroads Of
cents mile. The lowering of the
price and complete abolition of the
old three-cent rates will begin July
H.
This was the decision reached in
Chicago Friday after a long and
heated discussion by the leading rail-
road presidents of all the Western
and transcontinental roads, according
to the Inter Ocean. 1t was not for
NAL agreement, but is equally bind
ing, for two large roads doing
transcontinen.al business are said to
have served an ultimatum to others
that they would pu' the rate into ef-
feet Immediately.
Following the meeting officials of
several of the roads admitted that
they had been forced to bow to pub
lie opinion and anti-railroad legisla-
ton, They said that no further fight
would be made on the 2-cent laws
already passed, and that the roads
would accept the inevitable.
Among those who are said TO have
attended the secret meeting are Pres
ident B. L. Winchell, of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, and President
A. L. Earling, of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul. Neither would
discuss the report.
The first reduction will be made
July / on the Illinois rates. This is
expected to be followed by a general
order from passenger traffic depart
ments lowering the interstate rates.
The result will be that within few
months the travelling public can
reach any point in the United States
for two-thirds the usual fare. Rail |
road officials also say that it will
mean the revival of keen competition |
for business among competing lines |
Another consideration said to have
forced the informal decision to cut
the rate was the impossiblity of |
charging cents in one State to con-
form to the law and attempting tol
charge 3 cents when the passenger |
crossed the line into another State.
