PEELED.

Twenty pupifs Of the Georgetown
University we're expelled on Tuesday
by Rev. David II. Buell., S. J., pres
ident Of the institution, for celebrat.
ing st. Patrick's Day too strenuousiy.
It is said that a petition was sent to
President Buell. By the students, re-
quesdng that be declare st. Patrick's
Day holiday. The request was de-
clined. The boys then became I'M
ruly, and in few moments there was
a commotion in the corridors. The
turning on Of the large fire hose was
one of the pranks INDUCED in. Find
ing no OPPOSITION to this prank, the
students became imbibed with fresh
lust for pleasure and $50 Of them
sailed forth from the grounds. After
making a demonstration in front Of
the school building, they started
through the city. They paraded F
Street, according to reports, held up
dairy wagons and caused discontinue
to the passengers on a Ninth Street
car by announcing their intention Of
ousting the motorman and conductor
and running the car themselves. In
the afternoon they attended the thea
tire and continued to make merry.
The students returned to the uni
yersity that night and were received
by the officials of that institution with
anything but smiles. The 20 men
who were expelled are thought to be
the ringleaders.

II is said that the Presidents OPP
position to docked tail horses has
had its effect in Washington, where
there are some Of the finest equip
ages in the country. A locked horse
is rarely seen on the streets of the
national capital. 1t is to be hoped
that this partial return to common
sense and humanity will be followed
rapidly by every city in the country
and that before many years locked
horse will be looked upon as a curl
osity.

United States Senator William
Piukney Whyte died on Tuesday at
his home in Baltimore City. Fry
sipelas was the direct cause of his
death. Senator Whyte was SO years
old, and had held practically every
high and responsible position in the
gift Of the people of Maryland. 1t
is thought that Senator-elect John
Walter Smith will be appointed by
the Legislature to fill out his unex-
PRED term, which ends March 4,
1903, and at which time the Senator
elect will again take his seat for a
six-year term. Possibly the death Of
no man in Maryland could have
brought forth more genuine regret
than that of Senator Whyte.
