DRESS CAUGHT FIRE.

At the parsonage of the Methodist church just after luncheon. yesterday afternoon. Veda. the little daughter of Rev. and Mrs. David Roberts was standing near to and with her back toward the stove. A flarback of flame due to accumulated gases, caught the girls dress. and in a moment she was apparently a mass of fire MT. Rob erts had no time to secure a blanket or rug. but caught the burning clothing in his bare hands and succeeded in smothering the flames. The entire back of the skirt was burned away, but a flannel petticoat underneath protected the child's limb and her flesh was not even scorched
 In fighting the flames Rev. MT Rob- erts left hand and right wrist were quite badly burned. pr. Drane was called to dress the injuries. and Mir Roberts says that he will hold ser vices as usual today Had he not been present when the accident happened.

THE LATEST FINAL
 ATTENUATION OF ROBSON
(New York SunD

The good see with genuine sorrow that the Hon. Richmond Pearson Hobson does not grow with advancing years. His latest adventure in experi- mental statesmanship lacks originality. He proposes to amend the constitution so that the president and the vice president shall be nominated and elect ed by direct vote of the people of the several states.
 HobSon was much more amusing in his heroic adolescence when he ad- vocated an extra cotton shirt for every one of the teeming millions of Asia and proposed a navy big enough to shoot those shirts into a market It Is true that he subsequently knocked off the extra shirt and demanded only that the tails of the normal equipment should be two inches long CT; but to this ultimatum he chung with unshrinking eloquence that thrilled every Chautauqua and went far tO eradicate the dull cares of con gress. He made of the elongated Asiatic shirt tail an issue to which he could point with pride throughout the cotton growing region of the south. It promised Opulence for every field and mill, while as for the manning of the navy required to implant the beauty of the scheme in the Cathay consciousness, let Annapolis go hang; Inspired naval officers grow on every bush where Hobson roams, and science and information and experience are turned out in unlimited quantity by the mills of Dogberry. Alas, if We could only have kept him at the age of the bristling mane, the impetuous impulse and the fierce. tOrrential vo- ciferatiOn. what a wellspring of ec- stacy he would have been for us in these anxious and dispiriting days!
 Things move, however The bound ing youth of yesterday becomes a Mailing pessimist compact of lamanta- ton and foreboding POmpadours make way for waste places, and the aged squeak of discOntent succeeds the loud bawl of headlong and triumphant youth Thus HobsOn has moulted the quOndam glories of his noble if hope less struggle for more and longer Asiatic shirt tails. and after passing through the whole depressing curri- culum of prohibition he comes to us. lean and slippered. tottering beneath the dullness of commonplace prog ressive" reform"

NEW PLANS FOR AMHERST
Alumni Diners Hear of Higher
Standard for College.

Amherst College, tired Of competition
with the great schools of the East and
wishing 70 maintain the standard 1t has
always set has been discussing plans Tor
it's future. and George Harris, president
told the alumni something about these
, schemes at it's annual dinner last night at
the Waldorf.
In the first place. Amherst, believing that
il has a great opportunity for training men
for public leadership and broad culture. Will
bark back to the old plan Of classical edu-
cation and turn out the well rounded man.
To do this the Bachelor Of Science course
will be abolished. and. in addition, ii is
proposed to limit the number OF men in the
college 10 six hundred. 1t is believed that
a waiting list will be something which Will
appeal 10 the higher type Of students, as
they are TO be admitted by competitive ex-
animation The alumni has been actively
engaged in discussing the future of AM
herst. and the class Of IS wrote an address
on the subject, which was printed in
pamphlet form and handed around to all
diners last night.
Theodore Roosevelt received one of these,
and after reading it through the other day
wrote Lawrence F. Abbott. chairman of the
class of So, that he would publish a signed
editorial in The outlook" on the subject
and enttle it A Noteworthy Project in
Higher Education"
The ex-president congratulated the class
on the suggestions, which he said were APP
plicable not only to Amherst. but to edu-
cational institutions in general. and added
that they were principles which it is more
essential for Americans than for any other
nation TO realize"
One other thing which has been concern
ing those who run Amherst is the salary
of the professors, and a proposal TO in
crease these was included in the address
1t is proposed TO raise gradually these
sums. DR.. Harris said last night
"A year ago several alumni announced
that they would contribute $4,000 each il
this was equally met. The general edu-
cation board has given us $1,000. | think
that by commencement We will have 800
O0o the income OF which We will use for
the salaries OF the faculty. Besides there
is the 10000 bequest Of John 5. Ken
