NIGHT COLLEGES.

The trustees of the City college have
resolved to establish next fall a night
college for bright boys who must work
in the daytime for living. 1t is an
admirable innovation, remarks the
New York World. The old-fashioned
American college course was laid out
upon the analogy of seven years spent
in learning a trade. The student was
four years apprenticed to learning to
become bachelor. Three years more
he practfced what he had learned, like
a journeyman in trade. and then he
was fully fiedged master of arts Fin
course" His four years in college
allowed generous vacations to teach in
winter and work in the bayfield, in
summer. Under the modern point sys-
TEN. with the aid of summer sessions,
any bright boy can complete a college
course in three years. One year more
in residence gives him a masters de-
gree. In night college a student can
easily in four years, by reciting two
hours every evening for 46 weeks. pre-
sent the equivalent of the minimum
College requirement. BY reciting
three hours each night except Satur-
day the minimum college require
ments could be met within the college
terms; or with night summer sessions
in three years.

1t is getting to be a cold and cruel
world for the rat Not only is he be-
ing slaughtered by the thousands in
localities where he is regarded as a
disseminator of deadly disease, but
the hunters are on his track for other
purposes. London has n great rat
killing industry, the rodents being re
moved in vast numbers because of
the value of their skins for certain
uses. These skins are utilized for
bookmaking and making photograph
frames. purses and parts of ladies'
gloves, and not less than 100000 is
paid out for the skins annually, max
Ing the rat-catcher's trade quite a
notable industry. There are lots of
rats in Scandinavia, and the Norwe-
CLAN or brown rat is a big and both
ersome rodent who because of his
fighting ability and other qualities
has made himself a nuisance in vari-
Gus countries to which he has mi
grated. And now comes a consular
report dealing with rat-catching in
Denmark which says the business is
extensive and source of consider
able revenue to men engaged in 1t,
and who make from rs to 30 cents a
day. With all the hostile agencies
at work the rat would seem to run a
fair chance of being exterminated.
Yet great many of him survive.

A trainman is telling an incident
that occurred on a Mohawk & Malone
train up in the woods the other day.
The train was standing on siding

on his stomach and his head waSging

STRIKING JAPS
SCARE HAWAII
EIGHT THOUSAND JAPANESE

HAVE QUIT WORK.
FEARS OF CONSPIRACY
DISCOVERY OF LETTERS INDicAT.
ING ATTEMPT TO CONTROL
GOVERNMENT.

! Honolulu. Seventeen Japanese,
leaders in the strike of the Japanese
plantation laborers, of whom about
5000 are out, were indicted by the
grand jury late Saturday afternoon on
charges of having conspired to incite
disorder in the Hawaiian islands.
This action promptly followed the
somewhat sensational disclosures of
Friday, when search OF the offices
of the Higher Wage Association" and
the Japanese newspaper Jill by the
authorities revealed incendiary letters,
reports and other correspondence tend
ing to show that a conspiracy was in
prospective formation among certain
Japanese to wrest the control of af-
fairs in the islands from the whites.
So important was the discovery of
what appeared to be a plot among
some of the strike leaders regarded
by the authorities that the grand jury
was hastily summoned Saturday and
the documentary evidence seized in
the raids laid before the body.
The deliberations of the inquisitorial
body, which summoned and interro-
gated numerous witnesses during the
day, was followed by the finding OF
leaders.
The investigation and hearing OF
evidence was not completed Saturday
and the grand jury decided to con-
vene again Sunday and resume its in
quiry.
Among the correspondence be-
tween strikers and some of their lead
ers, seized by the officers in their
search, of which translations were
submitted to the grand jury, was the
! following:
THE Japanese strikers are facing
the planters with enough powdes. lead
and food to make victory sure in the
end. Now is the time to exalt the
name of your nation and tint with
blood the flag of the rising sun.
Against those who oppose our action

The 'Nippu." the organ of the strik-

ers and declares that should any ex
traordinary thing happen. it will moi
be the fault of the peaceful strikers
but that the whole blame will rest
upon the capitalists and authorities
who have resorted to oppression.
