AUBURN'S LIBRARY
CORNER STONE IS LAID BY THE
 MAsONs.
Grand Master Mallory Presides Over Impressive Ceremony and Cove ernor Conner and President
 Thaeh Speak,

Auburn, June 1.--(Special )--The laying of the corner stone of the new college library this afternoon late made an occasion of state wide mo- ment. It was one of the history mak- ing incidents of the days of commence ment.
 The stone was laid in all the soi- emnity and grandeur of the masonic ceremony and ritual. Grand Master Ii. S. D. Mallory, Alabama Jurisdiction Ancient Free and Accepted Masons was present to lead in the exercises. With him was Deputy Grand Master Law renee Lee of Montgomery. Special deputies were appointed for the occa- sion. The exercises were under the auspices of the local masonic lodge.
 Gov. B. B, Conner to whom President Thach paid glowing tribute, as the educational Governor of Alabama, was present and delivered an impressive address.
 To be seen among the thousand or more faces on the ground were State Treasurer Walter D. Seed and Com missioner J. A. Wilkinson, of agricui- ture and industries. The trustees and faculty were seated on a mounted plat form adjacent to the corner of the building foundation. Tn front of them sat the line of the Governors military stan. Adjutant General Bibb Graves on the right forward of these sat the Governor, next to pr. Thach.
 "The library building" said pr. Thach was due in large measure to the high minded generosity of the leg islature and the Governor. The ap- propriation of that body of men en- abled the college to meet the condi- tions of Andrew Carnegie's gift of s3o,ooo for library. The college, out of the appropriation purchased $s0,00O of state bonds on whose interest the library will be maintained"
 pr. Thach told of the profound sig snifcance of an occasion of this kind saying 1t is the making permanent Of learnings clearing house, the reserves of research and study and the great fountain of knowledge.
 Governor Conner compared the occa- sion to the laying of corner stone Of the great interstate peace edifce in Washington where he saw Mir. Carne- gle on that grand occasion. the man who has endowed the Auburn and hum dreds of other libraries.
 He said the grand assemblage in Washington was not more impressive than was the one of today. The Gov ernor extolled the library as a great and necessary part of every college and declared the power to be gotten from books is a mighty fulcrum.
 In the void of the stone that was sunk into the foundation of the li- brary building were placed q copy Of the appropriation act of the legisia- ture. the letter to Dr. Thach from An- drew Carnegie authorizing the S30OOO draft, list of the building committee of the college, photographs of tIs. late Dr. Williams Leroy Brown and esf- dent Thach and many other souvenirs.

DOCTORS IN SESSION.
VIII Investigate Character of Medical
 Colleges.


 Chicago, June 1.--The annual con- vention of the American Medical As sociation opened here today with 1000 delegates in attendance.
 The first session was devoted to bus mess of a legislative character.
 It was announced before the conven- tion opened that the committee on edu- cation will present report sharply at- taclxing the cheap medical colleges of the country. Action will be urged against colleges whose graduates score more than twenty per cent of failure in their practice.
 The committee has prepared statis- tics by which all American medical eol- leges are grouped under three heads. The first classification groups together those colleges whose graduates have averaged less than ten per cent of fail- ures, the second those whose alumni have averaged between ten and twenty per cent failures. and third, those whose graduates have i shown more than twenty per cent of failures.
 Tomorrow, the first meeting for scientific discussion will be held.

 Board Divides on Salaries.

Those elected to professorships, under this plan, would be entitled thereupon to s2,000 a year while those who in continuous service for five years would enjoy an increase to s2.100 Those who might have served ten years would have an increase of $100 more and when the point of fifteen years service is reach ed the compensation would amount to s.
 Boarding Problem Studied.
 Another matter being considered by the trustees is the problem of board ing the students and lodging them in the new dining hall and dormitory which will be ready for occupancy next fall at the opening of college. 4 pos sible decision of the trustees is to let the dornftory be run on q co-opera- tive plan. The Hall will accommodate by present estimate, something like 300 students. The dormttory section will have room for only about forty boys. The cost to each student is to

Report as to Faculty

Auburn, June 1.--(Special. )--whiie no business of importance was trans acted at the two sessions of the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Poiytech- nic Institute today 1t was gathered to- night that a new faculty adjustment of the college Is to be strongly urged this year.
 II Is freely predicted that the faculty is to be divided into three grand de- partments to be known as the engi- neering faculty, the faculty of agricul- tural science and the academic faculty. These will be headed each by prom inent member of the present faculty.
 It Is rumored that Professor J. J. Wilmore. now holding the chair of me- chemical engineering. will probably be dean of the engineering faculty, that Professor B E. Ross may be elected dean of the agricultural faculty and maybe pr. George Petrie of the aca- demic faculty. This will systematize the work of the faculty, 1t Is said. and may be adopted.
 There Is also a rumor that I. S. Me- Adory may be elected assistant to the professor of veterinary science.

Horse is a Tohacco cheme,..

Harry Evan has fine black horse
but 1t is addicted to bad habits. 1t is
an inveterate tobacco chewer, and il
is almost impossible to drive it past a
hotel without treating it to a glass Of
beer or whisky.
The horse seems to prefer the beer,
takes it from the pail without spilline
a drop and llcks out the pail. Mr.
Evan can't imagine where the horse
learned its bad habits, and says 1t is
often very embarrassing, especially
when he has ladies in his carriage.
On his way TO church this morn.

the horse stopped in front of hotel
and it took some time to convince
him that he could not get a drink on

Kings as Linguists.

Perhaps the next best linguist to the
King among these sitting upon Euro

French is extraordinarily pure and
idiomatic and who also speaks excel

been able to rid himself OF a strong
German accent. But the Emperor
employs a foreign tongue only on
state occasions, when Il is case of
noblesse oblige, and even while fully
aware of the Cars dislike to most
things German, Including the Ian

and Italy are also good linguists. and

Europe the talent for languages fs
