identified men. thrown from row boat
that overturned in the current Of the
Niagara river one and one-half miles above
the falls today are reported by the sta e
reservation officials TO have been swept
over the Horseshoe falls.
In their effort 10 keep the bow headed
toward the current both men bent to the
oars with all their power. but at every
stroke they lost distance. The boat was
too far out and in place too dangerous
for any aid to be sent though several per-
sons witnessed the mems struggles.
AS the boat slowly slipped down stream
into the more powerful rapids 1t rolled over
and the men we're tumbled into the water.
One man was seen again only for a mo-
ment. The other came to the surface and
struggled against the fierce current
Then he was whirled under. The over
turned boat bobbed like a cork as II was
swept toward the Horseshoe. The sup
position is that the two bodies were caught
In an under current and rushed on to the

LINCOLN. March e. Especially 1.-The stu
dents OF the University of Nebraska
interested in aviation will meet next
Tuesday morning to form a Cornhusker
Aero club, the purpose of the organiza-
tion being to encourage activities in the
line of aeroplane invention and to aid
certain university students in their en-
beavers to turn out flying machines. The
meeting was announced through the Daily
Nebraskan this afternoon. The editor Of
this paper is one Of the promoters Of the
proposed club.
The movement for the Nebraska Aero
club was started by several students in
the scientific college of the university
who have been studying aerial navigation
and trying to perfect a machine that will
fly. These students have studied carefully
the machines invented by the Wright
Brothers, and are trying to make a ship
similar in form to the Ohio mems craft
but with greater powers of endurance
They wish to get a ship that will fly long
distances and are sacrificing speed for
stability. ~ H SHARON s '-'..

Evening classes for wage-workers will
be one OF the new undertakings Of Column
bia university beginning In September. 1t
is proposed then to extend the operation
Of principles, which have been so success
ful in the case of the summer session so
as to provide Glasses and laboratory work
in the evening at the university, and both
In the evening and during the day in
other parts Of the city, as we'll as In
northern New Jersey and Westchester
county for the benefit Of those who are
not able to avail themselves Of the regular
courses Of instruction at the university.
In particular. evening classes will be
organized where wage-workers as we'll
as those who are engaged professionally
or otherwise, during the day, may obtain
the best instruction which the university
may offer.
Requests for Columbia to enter upon
work Of this kind have been increasingly
numerous during recent years. In parti-
cular, there is a demand that the uni
versity shall organize classes in law for
the benefit of the many students Of law
in northern New Jersey. The center Of
Glasses in various branches of chemistry
and in electrical science will probably be
organized in both Newark and Paterson
1t is expected that college instruction Of
the highest type viii be offered in the
evening in the city Of New York at
convenient down town point, which may
be reached by subway and tunnels from
all parts of the city as we'll as from
Brooklyn and New Jersey.
The field to be covered by this extension
teaching will be very broad. There will
be classes organized In languages, litera-
ture, history, economics and politics; In
various scientific subjects. including cleo
trical and mechanical engineering; in archi-
lecture; In music and fine arts in pre-
ventive medicine and sanitary science; in
manual training and the household arts;
in teaching and in law. For this work
large staff of professors and lecturers
will be appointed, chosen In part from
the present teaching staff Of the university
and In part from others with especial

Statistics just gathered by Yale univer-

Many OF these are now among the most

pursuits there are more nongraduates than
graduates, and in nearly all the percen-

For Instance, in art, architecture, and

The latest to announce his intention of
retiring at that age is Chancellor Mac
Cracken OF New York university, who will
be 70 years old the 26th of next Septem-
Der, and for a quarter of a century has
been at the head of that institution. Dur
ing that time tho faculties OF the uni

it's teaching force from ten to 25s, its
students from ninety-ni to Ais and its
income from SSs,2s3 to SiS5,S7s One of his
distinctions is that among college presi-
dents, he has been a consistent defender
of foot ball, and it was largely through
his influence that some reforms In the

SCHOOL LUNCH ONE CENT.
Economical and Satisfying Service in
Boston school.


Boston school.
A heaping portion of Indian pudding
with milk and two crackers was the
menu for the cent lunch served at the
Winthrop school, Boston, and as long as
the service proves as successful as 1t has
In the past the lunches will be continued
at 1890 each morning, so that none Of
the little children who come to school
with appetites half satisfied need go home
famished. s..s
The high cost of living, which has shaved
down the breakfasts at home almost to a
minimum operates to send some children
to school with insufficient nourishment to
do Justice to themselves in their work.
At the Winthrop school, relates the
Boston Post, II was decided that any plan
that seemed to include charity would prove
failure, as children are the quickest
persons to form class barriers and look
down on their playmates who may not be
able to have enough food at home.
Miss Emmeline F. Torrey, teacher Of do
mestic science, believes that she has
solved the problem in the l cent lunches
served each morning. If the cost OF prepa-
ration and service were added 1t would be
impossible to make the meal otherwise
than charitable, so Miss Torrey has a class
of eighteen girls, ranging in age from 10
to Is. prepare the dishes and serve them.
Thus the cent that the children pay covers
the entire cost
The cup Of pudding and crackers, to-
gether with the milk, which was served
to each hungry pupil, had enough nutri-
ment in it to equal nearly three large
slices of bread, with butter. The quality,
Miss Torrey said. was well suited for the
needs of the children.
All the teachers in the school Asay that
the tentative working OF the plan thus far
has been to provide much more wide
awake children after the lunch hour and
to do away with the eagerness to have
school dismissed,
