WOMAN DEAN
RAPS AT YALE
New Barnard Head Says Eli
Graduates Are Not Par
agons of Learning

New York, Feb. 17.-Miss Virginia
Crocheron- GildersIeeve, A. B., A. NJ.
and Ph.D., was formally indicted in
to office as dean of Barnard college
yesterday afternoon in the Horace
Mann school auditorium. The gath
er1ng Included many distinguished ed
ucators, both men and women, clergy
men, Jurists, clubwomen. members Of
the Columbia teaching staff, and the
entire faculty of Barnard, together
with the trustees undergraduates, and
large delegation of alumnae. The
speech of induction was delivered by
Nicholas Murray Butler, president OF
Columbia.
In her speech of acceptance the
new dean entered a vigorous protest
against the intolerant attitude in the
EaSt-and especially in New york
toward higher education for women.
She called upon New Yok to send its
daughters, as we'll as it's sons. to- coll
lege. If it was a good thing for men
to go to college, she declared, she did
not see why the same rule did not ap-
ply to women
She ridiculed the idea that college
made women over-learned and Scho-
lastic, and remarked that she had no.
ticed that young men from Colum bia,
or Yale, or Harvard were not looked
upon as .paragOns of learning-quite
the contrary" This thrust was loud
ly applauded by the women in the au-
dience.
In this connection Miss Glider
sleeve said:
There seems, in the first place. to
survive in some quarters the antique
idea that a woman who is graduated
from college is thereby necessarily
and inevitably a portentiously learned
and scholastic person, quite removed
from the ordinary run of human be-
ings. an inspirer of awe in the breast
of the world.
'tYet I have never discovered that
the young man just graduated from
Columbia or Yale or Harvard is look
ed upon as necessarily a paragon OF
learning Rather, the opposite.
"And ! fail to see why, substant' al
ly the same process should produce
such a different effect upon his sister.
Though 1 may appear to be disparag-
ing college education, 1 believe am
not actually doing so when sly that
a real acquaintance with college wom-
ell would convince the skeptical New
Yorker that, improving though col
Iege course is, it does not make the
average girl a profound scholar, or
indeed learned to any alarming degree
whatsoever"

GOVERNOR URGES.
CHANGE IN. VETO
This and Senate Elections Bur
den OF His Address to Bust
T., ness Men

Waterbury, Feb 17.-Gov. Simeon
e. Baldwin was the guest and a
speaker at the annual banquet of the
Waterbury Business Mems assOcia-
ton held here last night, and he call
ed special attention to the plan for
electing state senators and the use of
the veto power.
"Out of the subjects touched on in
my inaugural message, 1 want to sin
gle out two and ask you to give them
your serious consideration.
zone is the veto power of the gov
ernor. Connecticut was one of the
earliest states to introduce the veto
power; Massachusetts, being the first
of all. Massachusetts required a
two thirds vote to override a veto T..
vote. Every state in the union, ex-
cept North Carolina, now gives the
governor the veto power. In no
state but Connecticut can it be over
ridden by a mere majority vote of the
members of the legislature. We are
behind the age in this. The governor
of Connecticut represents, for the
time being, more fully than any one
else, the people of Connecticut and
the will of that people. 1 say that
my successors ought to have such a
veto as most of the states have given;
a veto that will stand unless over
ruled by a two-thirds vote.
They ought to have another thing
"a senate also selected by the people
at the same time as they area SEN
ate elected by the whole people. The
legislature is now considering wheth-
er or not to propose an amendment
to the constitution to that effect, for
the considera ton of the next general
assembly. That is all that can be
done this year. 1t is no easy matter
to amend the constitution of Connec-
ticut. 1t ought not to be. Funda-
mental laws should be and will be
seldom changed"

A statement was sent out from Bos-

him at the Park Theatre, Monday,
Feb. 2O.s"The Stranger" is a typicaliy
American play, dealing with politics.
love and intrigue, whose scene is laid
in the little town of Danville, Viz
ginia. General Warrington is a
name, fine plantation and a nice
collection of debts. He has also 2
daughter, beautiful, e. cultured and
charming. The town of Danville,
where they reside, claims Judge Car
ter as its leading citizen and Judge
Carter owns the street car system
which like some other street car sys-
TENS. is not popular. Judge Carter
has a son, Howard. about the same
age as General Warrington's daugh-
ter, who, of course, is in love with
her. The Generals old home is about
to be sold TO. pay his debts when
James Marshall. the hero, enters. He
is a fine, clean-cut, brainy young man
from the North, who has made his
fortune in New York out of street
railways, and thinks it is time Dan
Vile discarded the mules of the Car
ter system for a modern electric line
He also cherishes a modern notion
that man should count for what he
is and what he does rather than
merely for what his ancestors were
and did. 1t develops that he was
boz in the vicinity of Danville, of
nameless parents, and started out in
life with but a brief memory of his
mother and none at all of his father.
He, however, has developed into a
splendid. masterful man, and his re-
turn to Danvtlle to take the street car
franchise from the Carriers. to restore
the historic home to General War
rington, who once befriended him,
and finally to take the Generals
daughter from young Carter, furnish
es the action Of the play.
The work Of Mr.. Lackaye, as Mar
shall, proves him an actor of much
finish, capable both of strength and
restraint, while the supporting COM
pany is said to be Of superlative ex-
cellence.

CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, formation of gases,
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches. tickle appetite. nervousness and
a general played out. languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show Shiny, infiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treat
ment which causes the food to be
readily, thoroughly digested before it
has: time to ferment~ and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the stom-
ach. To secure prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to
do and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin. little NuX,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
The plan of citing is simply another
name for starvation, and the use of
prepared foods and new tangled break
fast foods simply makes matters
worse as any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows.
AS DR.. Bennett says, the only rea
son I can imagine why Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are not universally US
ed by everybody who is troubled in
any way with poor digestion is be-
cause many people seem to think that
because a medicine is advertised or
is sold in drug stores or is protected
by a trade mark it must be a humbug
whereas as a matter of truth any
druggist who is observant knows that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have cur
ed more people of catarrh of the stom-
ach, indigestion, heartburn, heart
trouble, nervous proStratiOn and run
down condition generally than all the
patent medicines and doctors pre-
scr ptions for stomach trouble COM
bined.

safest preparation as we'll as the SIM
plest and most convenient remedy for

Booze and Business.

We have thought sometimes
that the temperance question
ought almost to settle itself. No
employer of men will engage a
a drunkard or 4 tippler if he can
avoid it. He who persists in lap
ping mp flrewater cannot accept
a managerial position; no one
dares trust him with responsible
tiles. A man who drinks to ex-
cess cannot be successful as a
business man or an employer Of
labor. Therefore, the drinking
person is fairly well eliminated
from the rank or employer and
employed. This brings to us the
inevitable conclusion that useful
manhood is nearly impossible for
those who indulge in liquors.
When the subject is viewed by
ill men in this light there will be
no place for the liquor business
in the world except as carbolic
acid factories. -Titusville, Pa.
