co-EDUcATIoN IN WISCONSIN.

THE attempt to do away with co-education
i in the University Of Wisconsin has failed.
A bill in the State Legislature calling for the
abolition of co-educaton in the university failed
of passage.
The figures of the University of Wisconsin
show that the presence of women has not IN any
way hampered the development of the great in
stitution al Madison 1t has an enrolment this
year of 4,s2I students, an increase of more than
FIVE hundred as compared with last year. The
curriculum is broadening and the university IS
increasing in usefulness.
No attempt to abolish equal education of the
sexes in the West is likely to succeed. Wiscon-
sin is a proposition different from Wesleyan
University i'm Connecticut, which recently de-
cided to bar the girls. Wisconsin has as many
thousands of students as Wesleyan has hun

Up to the Eskimo Boys.

For the moment then, Commander Peary retires from the witness stand, and his place is taken by the Eskimo boys and their evidence or that of Dr. Cook must be discredited. The posi- tion of judge or jury in such case is a delicate one. Ths candid juror will not waive aside the Eskimo evidence as of no importance. Dr. Cook already has given character to the witnesses. He has testified to their faithfulness, has accredited them with a presist- ence and perseverance and a loyalty to hin that was not secured by any promise of pay. So far as the world knows, there was no reason for them to indulge in untruths concerning their as sociate, vr even concerning their own part in the discovery of the ''big nail, which one might imagins would have been an incentive for even an Eskimo to sustain any tenable claim If they are to be charged with delib- crate misstatrn,rnt, one. then. must seek for reasons or influences which caused them to lie to the Peary party Did Dr. Cooks warning to them to keep his secret from Peary cause them to dissemble? Did the Peary party in any way exert such an influence over them as to cause them to make false statements? This must be speculative until such time. if ever. the witnesses are on the stand in person and sub- ject to cross examination. Boston Herald

He Was Afraid of Ghosts.

A negro was hanged in a prison not many hours journey from the, city not long ago. For several months prior to his departure he had been visited by faithful friend who brought him chicken, 'possum. sweet potatoes. cigars, and other things.
 The bearer of, these good things seemed to be under some trouble. It was suspected that he had some in innate knowledge of the crime for which the other was to be hanged The secret came to light on the morn ing of the hanging, when one of the guards overheard this conversation between the two men:
 Now Jim, didn't I done do every thing I could for you?"
 Yes, Bill. you has sho' fulfilled all ob you obligations. and squared ac- counts fo' dem crap games, an I sho' is 'bliged to you'.''
 An. Jim, does yo' swa'r that yo' won't come an han't me after yo's done gone an been hanged?'
 No, Bill. Yo' has sho acted like a man an brudder, an I ain't low down mean huff to fan't you now; but ef yo' hadn't brung me dem things when I told yo' I sho' would have ha'nted you every night of yo' life, an don't yo' fergit it.

ANOTHER CHANGE FOR FARMER
 TO PROVE HIS INNOCENCE
As Principal in the Murder of Mrs.
 Sarah Brennan.

Albany. ~. Y. Oct. 2O.-James D. Farmer is to be given another oppor- tuiity to prove that he was not a principal in the murder of Mrs. Sarah Brennan near Brownville, Jefferson county, in April, 1908, the crime for which his wife. Mary Farmer, paid the death penalty in Auburn prison last March. The court of appeals reversed the judgment Of convic- ton of murder in the first degree and ordered new trial of the case Farm CT has been confined in the death house at Auburn prison for several months awaiting the outcome of his appeal Bef)- her execution Mrs. Farmer de- clared her husband had nothing to do With the murder but her confession was not referred to by the court.
 Q The Farmer and Brennan families were neighbors. On April 23 Mrs. Brennan entered the Farmer home and was never seen alive again. Four days later her n1utilated body vas feiInd in trunk in the Brennan house. into which the Farmers had moved two days after Mrs. Bernnan disappeared. the Farmers claiming to have pur- chased the Brennan home To sup port their claim they had a forged deed of the property recorded.
 Following the discovery of the body of Mrs. Brennan, the Farmers were arrested and although indicted joint ly, were given separate trials. Both were found guilty and Mrs. Farmer was electrocuted.

omaha,s FuII-Drcs Dinner.

Omaha newspapers are making fun of Omaha as a result of President Taft's visit there recently. It was a very swell elegant banquet. at $20 a plate. But. as a full-dress affair. it didn't make much of a hit. One man wore. his spike-tail coat white waist coat, and all the rest of it pretty well. except that he adorned his bosom with large gold studs. Another full-dress costume was marred by a black tie that should have been white. Some wore dinner jackets, and even gray trousers broke into the sacred circle, and Omaha papers are sad or mad. But they really shouldn't feel so bad. If the west isn't as careful of its per sonal attire as Fifth avenue, or even Pennsylvania avenue, it is a great deal better dressed than it was when some of it's citizens got their first dress suits as aid from the eastern discard. New countries. as a rule. are too busy to make fashions, that being left for mora effete lands. And even if a fashion is broken occasionally, the west doesn't care. and neither does the president. care; 1t is votes he is interested in.-Atchison Globe.

wALLINeFoRD FACTORIES
Expecting Busy Winter-6uildins
 Large Addition.

Wallingford factories are expecting one of the busiest seasons in years and several of them are building large ad- ditions. Architect William E. Beecroft last Friday completed plans for the ad- dition to be erected at factory l. of the International Silver company, and the same are now in the hands of the com pany They call for a brick structure of two stories and basement, covering S5x1O5 feet on the ground, and of slow burning mill construction The addi- tion will face on Center street and run north at the west of the main build ing, thus making the present wing, known as No. 10 building, some 30 fee; longer The plans will now be for warded to the contractors for bids.
 At R. Wallace & Sons a large addi- tion has been in course of construc- tion during the summer It will be used for the purpose of assembling various branches now more or, less separated throughout the factory.
 M. Backes & Sons company have just added an addition to the south of their factory on Ward streettextension It is of brick and will give them con- siderable more floor space.

SLOT MACHINES
Are Prudently Withdrawn from Pub
 lie Places in Bridgeport.

Many of the penny in the slot machines which have been operated in stores about the city, encouraging the small boys and youth to indulge themselves in this form of gambling, are now enjoying a vacation. not due to the fact that they have been work ing overtime.' but because the men in whose stores they have been located are hastening to get under cover be- fore the storm breaks. due to the crusade that is to be launched against the machines by the police depart ment. this action being taken in spite of the bold assertion of these men to the effect that the machines are per- fectly legal.
 President George E. Hill of the board of police commissioners has not had his expected conference with Prosecuting Attorney Delaney yet in regard to the matter SO the police have made no move against the ma chimes. But people visiting the stores have noticed that these machines around which the small boys used to gather like bees around molasses barrel have disappeared. The only reason given openly is that they are being repaired, but it seems strange to an outsider to learn that SO many ma chimes have suddenly broken down about the same time, this time imme- diately following the action Of the po- lice commissioners. who seek to do away with them. The commissioners say they are gambling devices. SO that much interest is felt in the way Mir. Delaney will interpret the same statute.-Bridgepor Telegram

MIDNIGHT SUN NO PROOF.
Date of It's Appearance Not Certain
 Owing to Haze, Says Jaeoby.

New York, Oct 2-Prof. Harold Ja- eoby, head of the astronomical faculty at Columbia university, when asked to comment upon the various statements snaoe by Dr. Cook as to the dates on which he saw the midnight sun, said at hi. fome last night:
 Tt is easy to calculate, for any given day 1T April the theoretical latitude where the midnight sun would first become visible. When the midnight sui once became visible it would re- main visible day and night Unfortu- natciy, however, all these theoretical cs iculations assume that the northern lNI -ZcI at which the midnight sun Ycti1 be seen. was clear If there were clouds or haze constantly extend ing upward from the northern horizon ever for a short distance, of course, the midnight sun would not be visible to the explorers eye for some days after the date on which it would be theo- rctically calculated to appear. It fol- lows. then. that we can get no good, practical determination Of Dr. Cooks laf'tude from the somewhat meagre rel i,lls as to his glippses of the mid nigit sun. Nor is such a determina- tIaa necessary, since Dr. Cook asserts thlc he has in his possession good sex tant. observa tions. Those seEtant Ob- seYvatIons consist Of measurements of the suns actual altitude above the horizon at noon. At neon the sun was necessarily much higher up in the sky. VI 4s probably above the thick haze near tn horizon, and certainly less subject to irregular atmospheric refractions. Dr. Cooks observations would assured iy fix his latitude. with far higher pre- cision than estimates based on the midnight sum
