The row started when a score of
students were discovered by Con-

putting the boots to them.
Score of Police Called Out.
A riot call was sent in and score
of policemen were sent to the rescue,
while a couple of hundred students
poured out of the university buildings
and a general fight was indulged in.
While the row was at its height fire
alarm was sent in and the brigade
turned out, which added to the trou-
BILE.
A fusilade of eggs was opened on
the police from the college windows.
and as soon as the firemen appeared
the students started firing billiard
cues, spittoons and other warlike
weapons at them, from the windows.
Little damage was done, save to
the uniforms of the police and the
clothes of the crowd, whose apparel
suffered from the egg distribution.
The police refused to use their
batons. and contented themselves
with their fists. which proved all the
students needed, and eventually the
latter were driven into a side lane
and back to their quarters. Ten Of
them were hauled to the police station
where they were later bailed out to
appear tomorrow morning, charged
with various kinds of assault.
The affair caused tremendous ex-
citement and thousands of people
crowded st. Denis street during the
progress of the battle.

Simon Cronin of Akron, telephone
attendant in the house for ten years,

tion of the Elson measure.
The testimony of Representative A.
w. Elson of Tuscarawas county. au-
thor of the measure, that no one had
assisted him in his preparation, was
contradicted today by his seatmate,

on county, who said Elson had told
him that Cyrus Huling, q Columbus

The Wide difference II prices for
the years named. according to MIR.
Tilford, was accounted for by the fact
that his firm paid expressage and sold
as cheaply in Virginia as in New York.
He said the concern could afford to
do that because of the high cost of
delivery In New York city. He in
sisted that the tariff caused percepti-
BILE increase in prices.
Since the tariff was increased on
champagne, Mr.. Tilford said that his
firm had been making fifty cents a
case in comparison with three or four
dollars a case profit ten years ago.

~The amount Of ignorance not yet
removed concerning the planets Is
very great" writes E. s. Grew. I'VE
do not know, for example, whether
the planet Venus rotates. II 1t does
it may possibly have a life and vege-
tation like our own, though we suspect
that it is clothed in eternal cloud. OF
Saturn's rings we cannot say
whether they consist of millions of
tiny moons like brickbats or whether
they may be even smaller still-a veil
of shining dust OF Jupiter we can
only say that it is covered with
clouds, though of their substance we
know nothing, and, according to Pro-
lessor Lowell and Sir William Hug
gins, some of the bands we see on it
may be riffs in the clouds revealing
the body of the planet. Little lines
crisscross these bands. Photographs
of Jupiter taken at Flagstaff observa-
tory seem to indicate that, these lines
too, are the upper clouds Of Jupiter.
"But whenever we see a planet we
see it badly. Even Mars, the most
clearly revealed of them all. is con-
stantly obscured by a refracting haze,
so that even the famous canals,
though nearly 500 in number, only a
few are perceptible at a time, and an
unskilled observer would probably not
make them out at all. Sandstorms,
sometimes snowstorms, sweep the sur
face of the planet, and because the
winds of Mars are very gentle and
slow moving these occurrences take a
long time to pass by" London Fam
