CHANGES AT UNIVERSITY
J. Russell Trotter to be Professor Of
Law at the West Virginia
University.

Morgantown, w. Va, June 16.-The
regents of the West Virginia uniyer-
sity elected j. Russell Trotter, OF
Buckhannon, professor of common and
statute law, to succeed DR.. ST. George
Tucker Brooke. About six months
ago Dr. Brooke was stricken with
paralysis and will never be able to
lecture again. He had been a lecturer
on common and statute law at the
university for 20 years. The regents
also elected Charles E. Hogg, jr., and
Uriah Barnes assistants in the law
department, and advanced Prof. C. Ed
mund Neil and Prof. Henry M. PAYNE
to full professorships in the depart
ments of elocution and mines and
mining, respectively.
In response to an urgent demand
the regents increased the salaries of
all full professors to $4,000 as a min
imum But for this increase in sal
aries it is probable there would have
been many designations.
Drills by the cadet corps for va
rious prizes and exhibit by the de-
partment of fine arts and the annual
concert by the faculty of the school
of music were features of the conn
|mencement Monday Incessant rain
and small attendance of visitors and
alumni made the occasion dull for ev-
eryone. To add to the gloom William
G. Hall, a popular sophomore and ca
Diet. died yesterday morning of typhoid
fever. The Parthenon Literary society
won the annual debate with the Col
umbian society. James H. Callison
and Harris A. Reynolds were the vic
torious debaters, while Harry w.
Sheets and James d. Parriott repre-
sented the losers.

SLAMS KING AS AUTHOR.

The King of Siam is publishing a
book on his recent European tour, I'M
der the title of Letters to My Daugh-
ter" If the king, who belongs to a
royal family other members of which
have literary aspirations, embodies
many of his "reminiscences and adven-
lures, the volume will be very enter
tanning. When he was over in Europe
his secretary used to take voluminous
notes of ell that happened, and those
who think that his majesty solely in
dulged in official celebrations are much
mistaken. He had a prediction for
u~nassuming trips, and once, for in
stance, made one on the Piccadilly tube
under very humorous circumstances. A
chapter or two on How I Shopped'
would be read by all the fair sex, over
and above his daughter, since he sell
dom asked a price and laid out thou
sands of pounds without hesitation.
The king, it will be recalled, visited
Paris, London and other centres last
summer before settling at Hamburg
for a cure" The "clou" of his stay
there was the celebration of his birth
day by the opening of a spring named
after him, when he entertained some
thousands of people and kept open
buffets for his guests.-London Mail.

REAL IMPROVEMENT SEEN
IN BUSINESS CONDITIONS,
Buyers Showing More Con-
fidenCe in Future and Col
leCtiOns Are Better.

NEW YORK, May 19.-After six
months of extraordinary depression and
for the first time since the panic there
are positive indications of a turn for
the better in general business affairs.
The acute stage of depression which
followed the October crisis is surely
disappearing, and there are many
gratifying evidences that the worst in
that respect has been passed.
In three of the greatest industries,
textiles, food products and steel and
iron, buyers are beginning to taxi hold
with more confidence than at any time
during the last six months. Good evil
donce of waning depression is found in
Clearing House transactions, which in
the principal cities are only running
about 10 per cent. below last year,
whereas a few weeks ago the decreases
were reported at 25 to 80 per cent over.
Considering the prevalence of lower
prices and lessened speculation this
shows a decided recovery in the volume
of BUSINESS. Collections, too, are i'm
proving and are much better than was
expected.

SAYS OFFICIALS
ARE TOO ACTIVE
At WRONG TIME
Andrew S. TaylOr's Crack"
Does Not Please South
Orange Trustees.

Dabbling in politics by village-paid
officials was condemned by former Po-
lice Justice Andrew S. Taylor, of South
Orange, in a communication to the
South Orange Village Board of Trus-
tees last night. Mr.. Taylor alleged that
the officials got out and worked for the
election of village trustees at the spring
election. The communication was ire
ceived."
MIR. Taylor, acting as counsel for
Miss Mary Kelly. of Ridgewood road,
South Orange, asked the village to pay
the doctors bill and other damages done
when Miss Kelly fell in a hole in South
Orange avenue a month ago and sus-
tanned injuries to her side.
Trustee Walter T. Wallace, chair
man of the street committee, said that
a tree had been planted in the hole,
and after a heavy rain the ground
sunk. He said it was no fault of the
village. The request was not granted.

MERRY W|DOWER
HAT TURNS GIRLS
GREEN WITH ENVY
One of This Seasons Straws for
Men Looks Like a Buzz-Saw,
Only Worse.

Going, going-gone. Felt hats, derbies
and plug hats are about to go under
the hammer. The live mes are all
wearing straw hats now, in spite of
the fact that June Is is the recognized
date for their inauguration. And they
say that the designers, with a. pretty
n of the fitness of things, have put
upon the market a Merry Widower hat.
of the genus Merry Widow, cut like a
buzz-saW and about the same size. No
longer will mere man sit in fear and
trembling beside the Merry Widow hat
in the narrow sea of a pay-as-you-
enter, il he is equipped with the latest
variety of straw. Its rigidity and
sharpness around the edge are said to
exceed those qualities in the present
style of wonen's hats, making it a most
effective Weapon as well as an adequate
defense. And it will be uneneumbered
with flowers or vegetation of any
kind.
This specially devised headgear has
a wide brinI, say three inches, I'M is
made o. pineapple" sennett straw,
with a deadly tooth edge. Retiring,
less offensive men can choose from
many models in smooth sennett or soft
straw; the latter are very comfort
able.
1t is expected hal the prevailing
style for the man of average height
and build will be a smooth, stiff hat
with a 2%-inch crown and a Pinch
brim.
Hat bands will be popular with the
younger men, and panamas will be
worn, as formerly, by the big, stout
fellow.

APpETITEs OF WOODSMEN.

Here are some figures from a lumber
camp up il Greenwood which give an
idea as to the appetites of husky
woodsmen. There are thirty-five men
in this crew, and the cook reports that
he makes each day 300 large biscuits,
$50 d~oughnuts, thirty-six pies, bakes
six quarts Of dry beans, with potatoes,
vegetables, etc. in proportion. A large
beef creature is eaten every five days.
There is something to be explained in
that item Of thirty-six pies daily for
thirty-fve men. Probably the boss gets
the extra one.-Kennebec Journal.
