REACHES ONE THOUSAND

Fayetteville. Nov. 9. The en- rollment at the University of Ar kansas reached the thous and mark last week, this thousand consisting of 649 collegiate stu dents and 351 preparatory.
 It is estimated that the enroll ment will reach 1200 before the close of this term, desrite the fact that the new high school here has kept from the univer- sity large number of prepara- tory students. Next year the frst-year class of the prepara- tory department will be abolish ed and the year after that there will be no "preps" here at all.

A BRIGHT EVENING

As well try to paint the lily or adorn the rose as to try to de- scribe the delightful evening spent with about one hundred and fifty of our good citizens at the home of Mir. and Mrs. John M. Pittman Friday evening.
 These social gatherings are ideally pleasant. and the bring ing together of our people in sc- cial enjoyment is one of the best ways of encouraging warmer friendship between them, for the more we know of our neighbors the nearer our interests lie, and the more we see to love and ad- mire in their character
 Of course you know the air of good comradship (which enfolds one as he enters this charming house. The entire atmosphere breathed cordial good will and sweet hospitality. Was it Emer- son who said "The ornaments of a home are the guests who ire quent it?" then their home was a palace of beauty "a King Arthur's Court the bright faces of the guests vied with the roses in sweetness and beauty. The intellectual feast was rich in- deed. Music added her charm. The delicious refreshments, the sparkle of wit, the gay reparte, all combined to fill each gilded hour with the purest enjoyment. It was an evening long to be re- remembered and we only felt one regret; that was that some of our friends had the misfor- tune to be absent. M. k. w.

Edward M. Morgan, New York's Postmaster Shot
 Down on Street.

New York, Nov. 9. ~ Post master Edward NJ. Morgan was shot at One Hundred and Forty sixth street and Broadway today by a man who then shot and kill ed himself.
 Nil. Morgan was shot through the stomach and will probably die. His assaiiant was well dressed and about 40 years old. He died instantly after firing three shots into his head. He was later identified as Erich Maekay.
 There were several persons within a few feet of the two men but none of them heard a word spoken, and the first intimation they had of trouble was when a shot rang out and Morgan fell to the ground with a bullet through his stomach. For an instant after the shot had been fired the assailant stood looking down on his victim. Then he shot him. self in the head. The bullet did not cause fatal wound and once more and then third time the man sent a bullet through his head. The third ball penetrated the brain and the man fell dead.
 No reason can be assigned i0r the deed.

"A Daughter of Dixie" at the

"A Daughter of Dixie" at the opera house last evening by the Woods Sisters Company was at tended by a fair-sized audience. The play in itself was not so much but as 1t was rendered by this excellent company, gave everyone present an evening of rarely experienced pleasure. While every member of the com pany made good, Otto II. Krause and the Misses Woods, were far ahead of any ''play-folks" our thertre goers have seen here. They did their parts we'll in the cast and also in the specialties between acts. The performance upon the violin by the Misses Woods was grand. The cos tunes worn by the members are beautiful. Tonight they will play "Thelma." Marie Corelli's powerful romance. Special scenery and costumes are car ried by the company for tbs play and those who want to see a good clean show well played by clever actors, interspersed by catchy songs and up-to-date specialties, should go to the op- era house tonight.
 Black Patti Troubadonrs will appear at the opera house here at an early date. Black Patti was here last season and those who attended this attraction were well pleased. The trouba- dours have been giving b. tier satisfaction this year than II ,i'etOfore and Black Patti still retains her remarkable voice.
 The management of the opera house does not only deserve credit for clean, high-class at taactions but should be praised for the order. clean and neat ap- pearance of the house. And say! Did you notice the clock? ?

SHE JUST SIMPLY
 HAD TO SMOKE

From ''The Log of an Ocean Traveller"
 by Aubrey Lanston. in the Bohemian
 Magazine for July
 Very self-possessed was a beautiful Vi- ennese, who called one evening on the purser of one of the American Line boats, when that gentleman, having closed his affairs for the day, was smoking cigar in his office. Of course, it Is against the rules to smoke below decks, because of the danger from fire, but the purser and the ships doctor are usually privileged characters in this respect while many of
 the passengers smoke in their cabins so long as they can conceal the fact. The Viennese, however, who was accus- toned to a cigarette after her meals, was either unwilling to do this or lacked the courage, and when she sought the smok- ing room she found that the American Line, of all the great transportation com-
 panies, is alone--or was until recently in barring ladies from this apartment.
 As it happened, special force had been lent the ruling in her case, through the complaint of several men that the pres
 ence of the young woman, in fetching toi- lette and with a gold-tipped cigarette between her teeth, interfered with the
 masculine freedom of speech and conduct.
 This the purser explained to her as diplo-
 matcally as he could
 "But where shall I go, m'sieur?" she asked helplessly. q cannot smoke in comfort on deck, because of the wind. It is forbidden that I smoke in my cabin, or
 in the salon, and 1t seems that I am not desired in the salon des fumeurs. Will you be so good as to tell me where it is that I may take my cigarette after the dinner?"
 q regret to say that the company seems to have made no provision for la dies who smoke'' said the troubled pur- ser, to whom this was new difficulty. Your regrets are easily voiced m'- l sieur," purred the lady. T trust that you l will be as readily able to suggest a rem | edy." But then her gaze chanced to fall | upon the cigar, which he had laid aside to
 receive her. and her face frightened. 1 'It seems that you are privileged be- yond most of us, m'sieur. You smoke in | this cabin?"
 "Oh, 1-er-!" he stammered, flushing

EDUCATED AMERICAN
 SPEAKS GOOD ENGLISH

and scholars it has produced are already making their influence felt at our univer- sities in Germany. America, moreover, unlike England, properly appoints the teachers thus educated to the positions for which they have qualified, making them, and not classical students, the in structors in modern languages in the sec- ondary schools.
 Nasal Sounds Disappear.
 With all this strict and comprehensive training in modern languages, and par ticularly in English. is it any wonder that the nasal sounds and vulgarities of the educated American's phrasing begin to disappear? Two years ago I went to America completely under the influence of the English prejudice against Ameri- can pronunciation. I returned filled only with admiration for the work done In America and the progress achieved by Americans throughout the whole of this important field. When a young American university man who has graduated in English comes to Berlin, I can, quite without misgivings, intrust him with on English conversation course in my En- glish seminary. The B. A from she northern parts of England, on the other hand, suffers as often as not, from the vitiating influence of dialect. These are some of the reasons why we feel the heartiest satisfaction that the principals of the American schools show alacrity in receiving our headmasters In embryo. Next autumn the first contingent will cross the Atlantic. They will carry with them from Germany to America palm branches of friendship and international good will.
 Love of Learning.
 ''In the Standard of May 20 l read that Doctor Cow, the head master of Vest minister, expresses the fear that since the exchange system is conducted on the basis of an average of 970 year, the Americans who will take advantage of it are not likely, as a body to be of a class which even Professor Brand would acknowledge as linguistically pure. With all due respect and esteem for Doctor Cow, I should like to point out that the entire exchange project, in America as well as in Germany, is based not upon
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-06-28

financial considerations of any sort, but upon an ideal consideration--the love of learning. The young German and Amer ican teachers will, during their year abroad, receive only that pecunary aid which as students they are likely to need. They will meet with their real remunera- tion only after they return to the home country in the shape of a far higher, and more profitable, status as teacher than they could otherwise have possibly attained. It might also be mentioned that the Prussan ministry of education ex- poets only 12 hours linguistic instruction per week from the guests. The remaining time may be entirely utilized for their own education, and in this private study the principle and staff of the institu- ton to which they are appointed will lend them all possible aid. I have not the slightest doubt that America will be able to send us, without any special effort, suitable body of masters. And certainly we shall give them our welcome-we stand quite as much in need of direct and intimate understanding with the S0,- 100000 English-speaking Americans as with the 100000 who made up the En- glish nation.
 In Position to Know.
 'In giving publicity to these convic- tions I believe that I am by no means acting as England's worst friend. In crit icising her idolatry of the classics I wish to enter no protest against legitimate classical studies-both England and Ger many owe too much to the classics for that But it is when one sees in England the classical philologists misused as scholarly madchen fur alles (general ser- vant) that one begins to foresee a possi- ble dangerous reaction"

like a school boy before the merry sparkle in her eyes. Sometimes, you know, Ter! Well, yes," he concluded defantly. "I smoke here every evening after my work is done. Of course, I am more than usu- ally careful about fire''
 ''Vraiment?" she said naively, taking q cigarette from her ieweled case. "I will profit by the example. Avery evening after have dined, I shall come here for my cigarette, for, of course, if you may smoke here, so may I. And soon we shah grow to be great comrades, is it not so, m'sieur?"
 She was as good as her word too, for she did come every evening and lounged prettily on the sofa berth, while the pur- ser, good American that he was, saw to it that the cabin door stood wide open, to let the perfumed smoke out and the gaze of the inquistive in.
