BLIND INSTRUCTOR TALKED.
Professor Hutchinson Addressed His
Former Pupils.

Hutchinson, Kan, May 25.-W. C.
Hutchinson, former principal of the
city schools, who lost his eyes, was
present at the final assembly meeting
and made talk to the students. It
was the first time since the terrible ac-
cident nearly two months ago, that Mr..
Hutchinson has been in the school and
he seemed to appreciate it as much as
did the students.
Mr.. Hutchinson's talk was a very
interesting one. He had been a prin-
cipal of the school for less than a year
when deprived of his eyesight during
an experiment before one of the chem
istry classes. Interest was intense and
at the close the students gave him
cheer after cheer, gave him their best
wishes and followed with the high
school yells.

SHOES FOR TINY FEET.
Seventeen Pairs Forwarded for Hol-
lands Baby Princess.

Brockton. Mass. May 25.-The tiny
feet of Hollands baby princess are to
be incased in American soft soled
shoes-the most costly infants shoes
that were ever made in this country.
They bear the stamp of a Brockton
firm and the future ruler of the little
Dutch kingdom will not want for shoes
for all sorts of conditions, for there are
seventeen pairs in the order just
finished.
In one of the seventeen pairs the
lining is piece of satin from Queen
Wilhelnina's wedding gown. Another
pair is made of cloth of gold. One
pair is of cloth of silver and still an
other has the finest white Partisan
kid.
Brocaded satin that costs 500 a
yard in the piece has been used for one
or two pairs of the tiny foot covering
and beautiful silks made up the ma
terial in others. In some, too, the soft
est calfskin that the market affords has
been used.

SITE IS SELECTED IT,
The Memorial Building Commission
Agrees ConditionalIy. -

The state memorial commission
held its third meeting Monday after
noon in an effort to secure a site for
the proposed memorial building and
there is still a big "if'' in the way
OF final success. The corner at
Tenth avenue and Jackson street
was decided upon and will be the
favored spot if-the city will vacate
the alley north of the site and the
Santa Fe agrees to the action.
The old school house site is 200
feet long by 100 wide. 1t is long
enough for the purposes of the com
mission but the 100 feet front on
Jackson street is not enough for the
new building. THE Santa Fe Offices
are located on the north end of the
block and the, railroad company
owns a strip of land between the Of
fees and the proposed site. But the
commission decided that the Tenth
and Jackson corner would do pro-
viding the alley running through the
block from east to west could be
vacated and added to the site Gen
eral Manager Hurley of the Santa
Fe was called into the conference
but could not state offhand whether
or not his road would agree to give
up any land or the alley. 1t is be-
l1eved, however, that there will not
be any trouble in getting the alley
NdSdtCQ dS duOlIleT alley QS
through this same block north and
south.
The Crane corner west of the state
house has been abandoned and the
commission do not want to condem
property for the site as that pro-
cedure will take too long a time
Some of the commissioners favor the
site on Tenth avenue and Van Buren,
street south of the state house. but
it looks like the whole proposition
has narrowed down to the Jackson
street site and that this is the place
where the new building will stand. 1t
is the most convenient location and
fills out the block from the Santa Fe
Offices in fine shape. The only objec-
ton to this site is the fact that the
smoke from the state heating plant
Will be blown that way by the south
winds in summer

200 persons in the crowd that fol-

band reached Madison street, one
mile away.
BY that time all the golfers and
gardeners in the south end of town
had joined the cavalcade. Golf and

STUDENTS ARE EXCITED.
Proposed Change at Cornell Would
Hurt Athletics.

ithaca, N Y, May 25.-Claiming
a deathblow if the faculty's proposal
to change the university calendar is
adopted, thousands of Cornell's stu
dents have signed petition asking
the board of trustees to turn down
the faculty's plan.
The faculty has voted to cut out
the annual spring vacation and
abolish all holidays except Thanks
giving day and Founders day besides
advancing the final examinations to
the last week of May.
These changes, the students say,
would bar Cornell from entering the
intercollegiate track games, abolish
the memorial day regatta, do away
with all of the final big baseball
games of the spring and strike a hard
blow at the annual Thanksgiving day
football game with Pennsylvania.

TIE CLEVER WOMAN.

With all the discussion that is now
going on about what constitutes the
clever woman It is interesting to get
the opinion of a great English au-
thor and editor.
A clever woman, as a wife, is a
woman who is skilled in the conduct
of life, in the control of the house
hold, and, above all, in the manage
ment of her husband, says William
T. stead in the Deliheator. A woman
who could neither read nor write
would be a bad wife for any ordinary
man in a civilized community, but
such an illiterate woman. If she were
clever in all the arts of domestic
economy, in the rearing OF children
and in bringing at once the inspira-
ton and comfort of her husband,
would be clever enough for the ciev-
crest man in existence, and Infinitely
preferable to the cleverest woman in
book learning that has ever been
turned out by university.
