HUNTING WORK IN SUMMER.

A graduate OF the University of
Minnesota has asked the New York
Post and the Chicago Tribune to air
his reasons why commencement
should be held in the fall instead OF
in June. He left school in June with
such honors as Phi Beta Kappa dang
ling from his sheepskin, but, like Daw-
son. IL, says he has found no work
yet. He blisters the paper with
scorching argument that summer is
not the psychological time to find en-
ployment. But suppose this young
man had been released from the class
room and campus along In September
and had to trail the jobless route for
the following six months, would he
not, along about the holidays, deplore
q bleak worlds unkind worldliness7
Would he not prefer to be knee deep
in summer, when, If he had to remain
idle, he could at least retain degree
of physical comfort? The trouble
with too many OF these present-day
graduates is that they emerge from
tho dear old alma mater thinking
destiny has a greater career carved
out than is really IN store for them;
they are not willing to begin at the
bottom, says the Indianapolis Star.
Scholastic training Is the greatest as
set a young man can carry as he
strikes out for himself. but with 1t he
must have the determination to begin
with little things If ne hopes ultimate
~ to reach greater things. A college
degree is not always passport to the
presidency of big Industrial corpora

BOGROFF TO HANG

TIAL AT KEW.
FACES HIS FATE CALMLY
Young RevoIutfonist Hears Death SEN
tence Pronounced Without Finch
ing-Thousands Attend StoIypin's
Funeral.

Kiev.-The court-martial which
tried Dmitry Bogroff for Staying Pre-
mier Stolypin sentenced him to death
on the gallows. Bogroff heard his
doom without tremor
The court-martial was attended by
20 officials, six of them having been
Witnessed Of the shooting, among them
Minister of Justice Chtcheglovitoff. In
view of Borgroff's plea Of guilty, how
ever, none Of them was called to the
stand and only Colonel Kuliabko, chief
of the secret police, was examined. 1t
was through the fundamentally OF
Kuliabko that Bogroff gained admit
lance to the theater to assassinate M.
Stolypin.
BogroT declined counsel. Every one
was amazed at his calmness and the
firmness of his voice as he related the
history of his life. He also described
how he had deceived the police in get
ting the opportunity to assassinate
the premier, but did not betray any of
his accomplices.
The sentence must be confirmed by
the commander of the military district
before Bogroff can be hanged.
The funeral of Premier Solypin was
held in the Pechersky monastery and
was the occasion for universal mourn
ing. Deputations came to Kiev from
all parts of the empire to attend the
ceremony and laid over 200 wreaths
on the catafalQue.

messed on Exchange.

New York.-The stock market was
selling, which for a time resulted in
decentralization and swift depreciation
IN market values. Alarm at the re-
ports of approaching dissolution oE
the United States Steel corporation
resulted in an enormous volume OF
selling by holders of the corporations
stock In all parts Of the country and
In Europe.
The defeat OF reciprocity in the Ca
madam elections contributed to the
unsettlement of the market. Not
since the panic which grew out OF tho
Northern Pacific corner" ten years
ago has such convulsion of the stock
market occurred.
Wall street was in utter confusion.
Officials of the Steel corporation main
tanned their silence, and the situation
remained virtually unchanged.
The only fact which stood out from
the confused rumors and opinions was
definite statement from Attorney
General Wickersham that no arrange
ments for the dissolution Of the corpo.
ration had been made, and that no
such action had been proposed by the
department of justice. This put an
end to the widely circulated reports
that the corporation had proposed
plan of dissolution to the department
of justice, with the idea of aVerting
q dissolution suit.

LINER is RAMMED
OLYMPIC BADLY DAMAGED IN
COLLISION WITH CRUISER.
Largest Passenger Vessel Afloat
Turns Back to Port With Large
Hole Near Stern.

Southampton, England.-The steam
ship Olympic of the White Star line,
the largest vessel afloat, which left
here with a large crowd of returning
American tourists, lies off Calshot
Castle badly damaged as a result of
being rammed by the British cruiser
Hawke
The collision occurred off the north
side of the Isle of Wight. A great
hole was stove in the starboard quar-
ter of the Olympic, but the 1000 pas
sengers escaped unframed. Captain
Smith Immediately signaled for Ports
mouth to send him tugs, then drove at
full speed for the mud banks of
Osborne bay.
There was great excitement, but no
panic, on board the liner, the passen'
gers of which were treasured by the
officers. The weather was somewhat
thick and there was squall at the
time of the accident, but the haze
was not sufficient to obscure either
vessel from the other.
The Olympic sailed from Southamp'
ton, bound for New York by way of
Cherbourg and Queenstown. The first
cabin passengers numbered 1874.
Among them were between twenty
and thirty American milliOnaires.
All told there were nearly 5000 peo-
pie on board.

majority without them. The effect OF
this will be to minimize greatly the
Nationalist party which Henri Bour-
asa has been creating for eight years
past.
The result of the election works so
complete a disorganization of the Lib.
erals that the Conservatives probably
will remain in office for many years
before their authority can be seriously
challenged The former Conservative
government held office for Is years
and the Laurier government, which
has just been turned out, followed
with Is years of power.
The verdict is looked upon as
triumph for the cause of protection
and a victory for the manufacturers
of Canada, who openly and avowedly
were opposing the government because
they feared the removal of duties
upon natural products would be fol-
lowed by an attack upon the protec-
ton which Canadian manufacturers
have enjoyed for many years.
Laurier Expected to Resign.
Ottawa.-The result was complete
surprise to both parties in Canada's
capital. The Liberals expected a vic
tory, the Conservatives did not hope
for the landslide which occurred in
their favor.
1t is expected that Sir WElfrid
Laurier, the premier, will tender to
Governor General Earl Grey his 2esig~
nation within the next two weeks, al
though not required to do so until de-
feated by an adverse vote in the
house.

Following the store robbery and
shooting OF policeman in Cleveland
by a boy, infiamed by stories OF Wild
West life and highwaymen, a council
man of that city has introduced an
ordinance prohibiting the sale OF
trashy and immoral books to the
youth. There should be such legisla-
ton in every city, says the Ohio State
Journal We spend millions to edu-
cate a boy right; why not do some
thing to keep him from being educated
wrong? We have laws to prevent peo-
pie from poisoning their bodies; why
not a regulation to restrain them from
poisoning their minds? To give boy
a book that will make a highwayman
of him is a black offense that should
not be permitted. II is an attack on
society that society should not toll
crate. We are greatly excited upon
the question what schoolbooks shall
be furnished the children. We should
be a great deal more excited upon the
question of keeping harmful books
away from them. Ordinances are need
ed for this purpose. There Is a vast
amount of bad citizenship made by
bad books, and there are stacks of bad
boys.

A LANDSLIDE KILLS RECIPROCITY PACT

East do not appear to have placed the
high value upon the American mar
ket which was anticipated. While
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the prime min
lister, was safe in two counties, the
Conservatives made a great harvest
of ministerial heads; thirteen mem
bers of the Laurier cabinet sought re-
election and seven of them were de
feated.
Makers of Pact Defeated.
Minister of Finance Fielding and
Minister of Customs Patterson, who
made the reciprocity bargain with the
United States, failed to win their cleo
tons. Sir Frederick Borden, minister
of militia; Mac Kenzie King, min
lister of labor; Sidney Fisher, minister
of agriculture; George P. Graham,
minister of railways, and William
Templeman, minister of inland reve-
nue., also went down to defeat.
The ministers who survive the land
slide are William Pugsley, of New
Brunswick, minister of public works;
Charles Murphy of Ontario, secretary
OF SCdL6, FRANK OllPSI VI AiUSACd1 AA1u-

Rudolphe Lemieuz, minister of marine

Every dweller in tropical or semi
tropical countries knows that windows
and doors should be closed in the early
hours of the morning, and not opened
again until sunset if the house is to be
kept reasonably cool throughout the
day. They are opened widely enough
to the breezes of the night, but dark
blinds and closed shutters are the Sc
pret of keeping the temperature low.
However, one can never convince an
Englishman of this fact unless he also
has seen its demonstration abroad.
