coeducatIon.

Following the lead of one OF the |
great western universities, and OF an
other college in the east, the president
Of one of the best-known New Eng
land institutions of learning, in his re-
cent annual report, expressed his dis
approval of the form of coeducation to
which the college has long been COM
mitted. He wishes the institution to
continue to educate both sexes, but
separation of them in classroom and
curriculum is recommended. The re-
port comments upon a tendency which
has been noted by other educators as
manifested in other institutions, name
ly, the tendency of the girls at coedu-
cational colleges to increase In num-
bers, and of the boys at the same col
leges to decrease; SO that the ulti-
mate destiny of such institutions
seems to be a college exclusively for
girls 1t is rather peculiar, says the
Youths Companion, that with single
conspicuous exception which has been
mentioned, most of the colleges which
have begun to question the wisdom of
coeducation are in the east. Through
out the west, where nearly all the uni
versities are state institutions, coedu-
cation not only exists, but is taken as
a matter of course; and the young
men and young women appear to get
on well together. Much of the opposi-
ton to the admission of women comes
from the young men students, who
maintain that the college courses are
being feminized; but there are those
who shrewdly suspect that athletics
has something to do with the matter.
A college which has 600 students, of
whom one-half are young women, has
less material from which to choose an
eleven, a nine, or a crew, than a col
lege of equal size made up wholly of
men; and the roar of "rooters" is more
effective when it is bass and BARITONE
than when it is soprano. The problem
is difficult one, for the number of
girls who want a college education is
constantly growing; and the place
where they shall seek it must always
be determined, for many of them, by
the considerations of cost and convent
ence

who began his military service with
splendid fighting in the gallant First
Iowa at Wilson's Creek and kept it
up for a year after the war in con-
fiict with the hostile Indians. BY good
soldiership Comrade Ware rose from
an enlisted man to a captain, and
made record of which any man may
be deservedly proud. He steadfastly
refused a pension until last year,
when he took deep interest in Miss
Laura Mary Ramsey, a girl of II
years and the daughter of neigh
Dor. She is very ambitious of an edu-
cation, and, Furthermore, has big,
manly brother, splendid type of the
young American soldier, who is help
ing support her and give her an edu-
cation. When but boy he enlisted in
the Twentieth Kansas and was one
of the members that made that regi-
ments distinguished history in the
Philippines When he returned to this
country with his regiment Mr.. Scott
gave him an appointment to West
Point, whence he graduated with hon
ors. He was commissioned a second
lieutenant in the Ninth United States
infantry. His record since has been
worthy of his past and his friends
have great hopes for his future in the
army, Little Miss Laura says that she
will put the pension money in bank
until the time when she graduates
from the Topeka schools. and use it
for her education in some higher in
situations.

Had No Excuse for Lateness.

At Worsley there are two clocks on
Lord Ellesmere's estate SO arranged
as to strike 13 at the hour of one. One
of these is over the new entrance to
Worsley hall, in the center OF Worsley
village. 1t originally gave time to the
employees at the duke OF Bridgewater's
works in the neighborhood. It is said
that the duke had the clock made to
strike 13 because his workmen some
times pleaded excuse for being late
after the dinner hour owing to the
fact that they did not hear the clock
strike opa.-London Graphic.

person near the picture machine
upset the gas tank and u second
fire was started. The audience
was between Two fires and then
came the panic and the terrible
loss of life.
The fact that there was bni
one way out-the back or stage
entrance being blocked by the
fire on the stage made it difficult
for even those near the door to
escape, and but little use was
made of fire escapes. The peo

After about furty.five minutes defiber-

dict they we're disappointed as the only
movement he made was to carefully shift
a chew of tobacco from one side OF his
mouth to another and smile.
The verdict was victory for L. Irving

and Wilbur L. Adams, his associate, a.
both made strong defense for the color
