COLLEGE LIFE ENDS TODAY
WITH PRICED DIPLOMAS

BY SPENCER G. SLADDIN.
TSpecial TO the Evening Star

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June TO-
When the great senior class of Vassar
College, numbering nearly two hundred
girls, goes forth to face the problems
of the world today, leaving behind
tender memories of alma mater, there
will be included in the number twenty
two fair daughters of New Jersey.
And New Jersey cannot but be proud
of the records made by these ~studious
young women, who, after four hard
years in college, are leaving it with
honors to their credit in all fields of
college work. To be graduated from a
college in these days of strenuous en-
deavor is an honor in itself, but when
an entire class from one section or
State is graduated with such shining
honors as are these twenty-five New
Jersey girls, it is an event of which any
State might we'll be proud.
Miss May Margaret Bevier, of New
Brunswick, is easily the leader of hel
sisters from Jersey, and upon her have
fallen more honors than on any other
individual girl from the same locality
hut Miss Bevier is so delightfully."-
charming in all that she does hat it is
with pleasure akin to delight that her
classmates look up to her as something
of a leader.
Skilled Athlete, Too.
ono of her honors is that of being
saoratarv of the senior class. This is
an honor, and not a hollow one by any
n,eans She was elected to a place on
The Oui Vive Debating Society-long
ono of Vassar's champion assets in the
debating line. She was also a member

of the year. That she was deteateo
was not entirely her fault, and the
gone was so close and exciting that II
has gone down in the history OF vas

match ever seen here.
She sings well, too, and taxes mucl

 Another Start for the Pole.

For the ninth time Commodore Peary starts on a hunt for the north pole. There will be a universal admiration for his courage and perseverance, but there is no longer any great degree of general interest manifested in polar expeditions. Even the purely scientific interest in these expeditions is not so lively as 1t was 25 or 30 years ago. The scientific inquiry of the day has more regard to usefulness of results than ever before in the general history and progress of scientific investiga- tion. It is difficult to conceive, says the Baltimore American, that the ac. tual teaching of the aXial point on the globe, termed the north pole" if it is ever accomplished. will be of practical benefit to humankind. It is extremely doubtful whether the actual discovery of the pole will assist in the working out of any of the great physical prob lems of the earth that are yet un- solved. It will doubtless be a source of national pride to reflect. in case Peary at last succeeds, that the Ameri- can flag and not some other flag, floats from a stan planted at one of the axial extremities of this whirling globe

Of course. all those who believe in the intellectual superiority of the Caucasian race are prepared to ex- plain how it happened that l3year old colored girl won the public school championship in spelling at the nation al education convention at Cleveland Their notion is that this little negro girl has now about reached the age before which black children are as mentally bright as white children, if not brighter, while after it they are apt to lapse into comparative dullness, their continued brain development be- ing prevented by the early closing of their skull sutures. l. is an ingenious, if not an altogether convincing, theory, remarks the Boston Herald And yet it may reasonably be doubted if this little colored girl ever forgets how 10 spell.

Engineer, Hauling strike-sreakers, Refused to Stop at Log on the Track and Put on

Birmingham, Ala. Aug. 10.-Three men were instantly killed and II injured. two of whom will probably die, when striking miners fired into a passenger train on the Birmingham Mineral railroad at Blocton Sunday morning about o'clock. The dead:
 Conductor Joe T. Collins
 o. S. Dent. deputy sheriff.
 Willard Towel, non-union miner.
 Among the injured are:
 Major F. H. Dodge. superintendent of safety, Tennessee Coal Co, wound ed in hand and leg.
 E. E. Cox, superintendent of mines, Tennessee Coal Co, wounded slightly in knee
 The train was a special bearing non- union men to the Blocton mines un- der guard of soldiers and deputies. On the outskirts of the town the engi- neer suddenly saw a log across the track and at once a fusillade was fired into the train The engineer did not stop, but let the pilot throw the log rom the lTdCk anu put ou ithl speed. The place where the attack was made was in cut, the ground being on a level with the lower part of the windows. The assailants, from the rocks above. poured down fire directly into the windows and at the engineer. Practically every window in the train was broken and shots struck all parts of the engine and cab. Eight negroes were arrested Sunday afternoon.

The Directoire Gown.

The directoire gown Is making itself felt in the order for smarter, simmer, nattier men. Let the sterner sex rave at the edicts of fashion as it may, al last it gives in and the reformers or sartorial customs find they are snuffed out by the greater glory of woman's dress. The reaction has struck the masculine element which once paraded as the dandy par excellence. No longer called by that alluring name, the smart man ventmed an an attire that was limp, airy. flanneied no belted, but loi the directoire dress has Qverpow- cred him. He must live mp to his divinity's amazing toilette. No more free and easy habiIimcnts for the proud male creature of society. It is reported by recently returned visitors in London and Paris that the young man about town no longer neglects his figure, but keeps his waist within to lounge on the back of it's wearer. and color reigns in waistcoats, ties, and even the neither garments. The next thing anyone knows, declares the Boston Herald, the men will also be parading in the male costume of the directoire. To do this with dignity the new flesh sculpture must be called in and the fatal fat carved away. Had Napoleon Bonaparte weighed 300 in- stead of being a slip of fellow. it is doubtful if the Venuses of the direc- toire would have worn fashions a la Grecque. But the Frenchmen of the empire were not over and above we'll fed. To be fat and shapeless was the exception
