ALUMNI WORK At HOWARD

The Alumni association Of Howard

Since the first Of the year the COM

the Alumni association throughout the
country, appealing to them as to the
necessity for the building of the gym
nasium, for which the trustees Of the
university have promised donation of
$4,000 on the condition that the alum
nj raise $4,000. the building to be
known as the alumni building.
The responses from the alumni and
friends have been encouraging. and at
the recent rally Mr.. Shelby ]. David
son, financial agent. reported that
since the Inauguration of the campaign
the amount OF pledges has been raised
from about 5000 at that time to more
than $500. OF the cash in hand at the
outset he reports that an addition of
$500 has been made. making the total
collections about S1.5OO. The effort to
personally reach as many Of the alum
nj is being tried with much success.
The alumni Of Philadelphia has
pledged $1,000 toward the gymnasium
fund. Preparations are under way in
Baltimore for a meeting Of the local
alumni, and 1t is believed that with
this strong and interested contingent
the outcome will be favorable to the
gymnasium proposition.

Scottish Dish.

The huckleberry, or whortleberry,
or bilberry, has always been well
known. The Scots eat them with
milk as we do, but they also make q
Jelly out of them, which is favored
with whisky.
Cranberries can be found all over
the world where there Is marshy lana,
but those Of the United States are
considered the best and are exported
in great numbers to Europe.
The mulberry was cultivated by the
ancients and has played more i'm
portant part in literature than any
other berry. 1t Is mentioned several
times in the Bible. while Ovid speaks
OF 1t in his famous tale of "Pyramus
and Thisbe"
The mulberry was brought from
Persia and the Romans much pre-
ferred 1t to any other fruit. 1t did not
reach England until 154S. and the
trees planted at Sion House during
the same year are still alive. James
7. of England was exceedingly fond OF
the berry and caused large quantities
Of the bushes to be planted in all the
grounds of the royal palaces.

Threatened Clash.

Vienna, Sept 2O.--A serious clash
between Austria and Hungary was
threatened today as a result Of the
Hungarian franchise fight.
Tomorrow, the delegations, two
bodies, of sixty each, representing re-
spactively the Austrian and Hunga-
ran parliaments in matters which
concern the two countries jointly,
will meet here. The Hungarian parila-
mentary agitators for the universe!
franchise have served notice that they
also will be here in body to continue
the fight begun at Budapest.
Theoretically the Hungarian delega-
tons meeting place is Hungarian ter
ritory and the Austrian authorities
have no jurisdiction there. Hungarian
police are being sent to keep order
but the Universal franchise party IS
sure to be so strong that they vii! be
overwhelmed. The fight is so bitter
that unless there is an Austrian inter
ference bloodshed is likely. II Aus
tria does interfere, however, the Hun
carians are so jealous that an attempt
to secede from the Acknowledgements
Union is very probable.
