WELLESLEY GIRLS
STUNNED BY DEMAND
Edict Issued They Must
Learn to Spell or DEGREES
Will Be Withheld.

Wellesley, Mass. Jan. 1.-THE re-
cent discovery that many Wellesley
college students are deficient in gram
mar school requirements as to spell
ing has led to the adoption of radical
measures by the faculty.
With the reopening of college, after
a recess of three weeks. numerous
spelling Classes were formed. One
hour a day will be devoted to spelling
the rest of the acadamic year. More
than six hundred students, nearly so
percent of the total registration. are
included in the newest of Wellesley's
classes.
Three Words Wrong. Enough.
Entrance to the classes is easier
than any other included in many
courses. Any student who submits a
paper in which three words are mis-
spelled Immediately becomes eligible
and will Immediately be enrolled.
The decision to open spelling classes
came after faculty conference in
which it was pointed out that it is es-
sential that college girls know how to
spell. Correct spelling will be neces-
sary to secure a bachelor of arts de-
gree in Wellesley hereafter.
Punctuation, Too.
Many girls enrolled in the spelling
classes were much disturbed when
they learned that the classes would
meet Saturdays as well as other
week days. On Saturday afternoon
many undergraduates heretofore have
been accustomed to go to Boston.
In addition to the spelling classes
a class in punctuation will be conduct

IN KNEE TROUSERS
STARTS LIFE TERM

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. THE
smallest and youngest prisoner ever
sent to the Missouri Penitentiary was
delivered to Warden Andrae in the
person of Henry Gibson of ST. Charles
County. This boy, who is barely 16
years of age, in knee breeches and
weighing so pounds, was convicted of
murder in the second degree and SEN
fenced to IL years.
Warden Andrae was surprised when
the boy was turned over to him and
could scarcely credit the commitment
papers. He directed that the boy
should be held in the reception room
for prisoners until Governor Hadley,
through the Pardon Attorney could in
vesugate the case.
II is expected that the Governor will
order the boy transferred to the Boon
vile Reform School. The peniten-
tiary. Warden Andrae said, is not de-
signed by law for the punishment of
juvenile offenders.

TAKEN
ON ARM0REO TRAIN
Precautions Used by Italians
in Bringing the Dreaded
Bandits to Trial.
american News Serviceo

Rome, Jan. Upon an armored
train and over a railroad guarded by
troops, forty members of the Neapoli-
tan Camorara were transported from
Naples to Viterbo today to stand trial
with their leader, Enrico Alfono. for
crimes which have shocked the world.
Evidence gathered by detectives
who worked for years among the
Commorists posing as fellow assas-
ment and among the crimes charged
to them is the murder of Captain JOS
eph Petrosino at Naples.
Members of the organization COM
prise one of the most daring gangs in
the world and attempts at rescue are
expected.
The trial of Alfono and his asso-
ciates is expected to bare the secrets
of many of the black crimes of the
past decade, which have remained
mysteries to the police. Many of
these were committed in the United
States
Alfono is accredited with giving the
death order which resulted in the
death of Petrosino, the New York de-
tective who was feared by the Black
Hand agents more than the entire
metropolitan police force.
One of the chief witnesses against
the Cammorists is expected to be the
Rev. Father Vitriso who fell into their
ways while spiritual adviser to one of
their members. Five hundred wit
nesses have been summoned to the
trial which will. in all probability. be
the most sensational criminal case
ever tried.

viii Miss Elkins Marry Italian Duke Now?


Rome, Jan. THAT the death OF
United States Senator S. b. Elkins
probably will result in the marriage
OF his daughter. Miss Katherine and
the Duke Of Abruzzi is the opinion OF
the Italian press, voiced Friday. II is
pointed out that one Of the chief OBJ
stacles in the way of the wedding
was the alleged demand Of the West
Virginia millionaire that he be elevat-
ed TO princely rank that he might
attend social functions in Italy and not
be forced to take an unassuming posi-
ton because of the fact that he was
simply an American millionaire.
The demand, it is said. enraged the
members of the royal househald, who
were admirers OF Miss Elkins. but
laughed at the pretensions Of her
father.

Are We Paying Too
Much For Funerals
A Little Discussion on the
Subject.

The man about town the other day
overheard conversation between sew
eral gentlemen in ore of the hotel
Hobbies. that brought up a train OF
thought little out of the ordinary
1t seems that the ala absorbing topic
of the increased cost of living had
been under discussion. when one of
the gentlemen said: There is an
other thing: and that is the heavy, and
to me. uncalled for cost OF dying. We
struggle along through life trying to
make both ends meet. and when we
come to leave this world the ones that
are left are often hard put to lay us
away in respectable manner, and as
| said before, for no apparent reason
for the heavy expense. One of the
causes. l think, is the mystery; or,
rather, the lack of knowledge. on the
subject; it is something that does not
occur to us every day, and conse-
quently we are not posted on the prices
of the things used; and we again
sometimes let our sentiment get the
better of our judgment and so have to
pay for our lack Of knowledge. but be
as it may there is no apparent reason
for having to pay as much as we do
for caskets and funeral paraphernalia.
/ Take, for instance, a casket that costs
the funeral director less than $50, why
should anyone be charged the enor-
nous sum of $3.50 or SITS for it? Ger
tainly the other expenses connected
with the funeral do not amount to SO
| much more; and there are caskets
| that do not wholesale at near that
amount that the F. d. charges away

tie margin for some one, and when

it is true although there are some 9th
err expenses attached besides the first
cost of the casket: but that is neither
here nor there. When we started in
business we decided that we would be
satisfied with a fair profit on our
work. and we have continued on that
line ever since. Just to show you, fol
instance: A casket that heretofore
has cost s75 or $50, we have been, and
are still furnishing for $50 and Other
ones in a like reduced ratio, and we
believe it pays us to be moderate
priced, and we know we feel better
in the mattr Ourselves. You nigh
think that by not charging SO much
that we would have to slight some
thing; but we do not. We have, a:

the cost of living that could be re
duced.'
