Dartmouth's Latest Figures.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Permit me to correct an error in the ar
ticle in The Star of May 10 on the policy
Of George Washington University, headed
Economy the Aim
The writer of the article credits Dart
mouth College with total student body
of 93S. The 19OS-O9 Dartmouth catalogue
gives 1,136 undergraduate students. In
cluding the students of the three limited
graduate schools, the total number is
i l.rs:;; The difference is quite enough to
be corrected.
l would suggest that the fields of a real
or true university and a real or true col
lege lie far apart. Comparison between
the number of students pursuing univer-
shy courses, such as law. medicine, dem
tistry. ETC., and the number of under
graduate students OF an A. B. or \. =.
course, such as the 1,136 at Dartmouth. IL
hardly fair to either university Or COS
lege.
/ add here the fact that Dartmouth is a
college and not university. 1t has fought
and won it's right before the Supreme
Court of the United States to maintain
such a position. r. b. PATTERSON.

Committees Report.

The report of the special committee
was called for by DR.. Cassidy. For the
committee which numbers Charles
Bard, F. II. Jerome, Otto e. Wulf, Tim
othy c. Murphy and Frederic W. Cary,
the report was read by Mr.. Cary and
was as follows:
The special committee appointed by
Mayor Lippitt at the meeting of citi-
zens held in Town hall Friday evenl 1g
have held several meetings and con-
sidered a number of plans for the
financing Of the w. H. Davenport Fire
Arms company and beg to report the
following suggestions:
First-Issue to the note and mer-
chandise creditors preferred stock, 7
per cent. cumulative, all of which is 10
be retired before any dividends ar0
declared on the common stock
Second-Issue new cons llidated 8
rCr cont. sinking fund mortgage bonds
for $150000. OF this amount 100000
is to be exchanged for present bonds or
sold and proceeds used to retire pres
ent bonds; $4,000 worth of the new
bonds are to be sold and proceeds used
for working capital: subscriptions to
the bonds to be taken with the proyiSo
that they are to be paid for in month
ly installments of 25 pc recent. thus
providing the company with a monthly
cash payment of S12,500 for the next
four months.
The plan proposed has the adVantag
that it requires to raise only one-half
of the amount proposed in the plan
presented last week and it gives the
public who invest at this stage pract.
cally $4,000 additional security. mas
much as the creditors all leave their
money in the business. Also ali new
capital contributed is used as working
capital none of it being used to pay
off old Indebtedness. The bonded deht
of $4,000 would be secured by assets
of book value of S332.700.
The success Of the plan derends first
upon the willingness of the creditors
to accept preferred stock: secondly,
upon the willingness Of the present
bondholders to exchange their bonds
for the new ones, and thirdly on the
willingness and ability Of the public
of Norwich to subscribe for $4,000
worth of bonds. There seems 10 De an
element Of probability on all these
POINTS.
The committee believes this plan
provides greater security to new in
vestors thai any other plan idered.
Upon motion Of DIR. Cassidy the re-
port was accepted. Mr.. Cary stated
that the plan safeguards the money

LONG, FAITHFUL SERVICE.
Margaret TwaddIs Was in Family 81
Years.

e. N. w. writes to the New York
Times as follows:
Reading your minor editorial, 1.-THE
Servant Problem Illuminated it oc-
ours to me to suggest that such expert :
ence as that of the Price family is not
so uncommon as many suppose-at
least it was not unusual generation
ago.
In my fathers family, in this city,
servants remained year after year, as
trusted and esteemed friends. One of
these died three years ago who entered
my mothers service in 1850 or earlier
Thirteen years later, my mother hav-
ing died, she accompanied a daughter
of the house who then married to the
brides home. With her she remained.
a loyal and helpful friend, until this
second mistress died, thirty years later,
when she continued her service in the
household of the daughters daughter.
and there she remained until her own
death in 1906. Thus she lived with
mother, daughter and granddaughter
fifty-six years, respected and esteemed
by the large circles of descendants o.
her first mistress.
The loyal and faithful friend" re-
ferred to therein was Margaret Twad-
die, who accompanied Mrs. Johnson.
mother OF Frederick M. Johnson. soon
after her marriage in 1853 to Norwich.
For nearly thirty years she lived in
the family home at 249 Broadway A
faithful friend to the c. c. Johnson
family she certainly proved herself.
The interests of the family were al
ways first in her thoughts and her 10y
atty and love to its members is still
frequently and II is hoped for years
may continue to be spoken of by the
many who knew of her devotion.
She had wide acquaintance In
Norwich and was universally respected
by all who knew her. In accordance
with her wishes her remains now lie
in the Yantic cemetery. near to the
last resting place Of many whom in
life she loved and cherished.
