announcement of New Features of
study Creates Great Interest.
Nashville, Tenn.-Announcemen has
been made of the social science courses
to be offered next year at Fisk uni
versity, in this city, and of the plan
Of the university to cooperate with
the Woman's council of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South and the Meth
odist Training school here in develop
ing social settlement in one Of the
neighborhoods of this city among Afro
Americans
DR.. George E. Haynes, professor Of
social science at Fisk, says that this
arrangement of cooperation will give
q new impetus and a great outlet for
the intense interest of the students in
the conditions among the people Of the
city and will offer them an opportu-
nifty to get acquainted with the people
and to learn by practice what college
educato can do to help the masses.
He says it will also be a great help
In articulating the university with the
pulsating practical life Of the people
and enable it to better train its stu
dents for leadership and service.
The department offers an introduc-
tory course in economics In the junior
year for three hours per week and an
advanced course in economics in the
senior year, two hours per week. In
sociology three hours per week will
be given to class work and four hours
or fn Gar1 Hon
practical work.
One Of the most interesting features
Of the department for next year con-
sists Of a course in Negro history for
the Juniors and course on the Ne
gro problem for the seniors. The his
tory course traces the growth of Amer
lean democracy in its relation to slav-
cry and the Negro American. 1t aims
to give the student historical back
ground for his thinking about present
day Conditions.
The course on the Negro problem is
offered to members of the senior class
and Is careful study of present con-
ditions in both the country and the
city. In this course use is made of all
availa bic material on the subject, and
in addition to the general class work
each student is given some particular
topic relating to the economic. edu-
cational social or religious conditions
among Negroes for special invesdga-
ton and report The course aims to
teach the student how to study condi-
tons among Negroes in an accurate
way and with broad humanitarian
point OF view.

PEACH BASKET SHRINKS
UNDER NEW STATE LAW

The famous hve-eighths basket in
which the Delaware peach was shipped
is doomed by law to go TO the rubbish
heap
In the last swenty-four hours of the
rushing Legislature Of Delaware a law
was passed "to standardize berry cups,
hampers, barrels, peach baskets and
apple baskets in the State Of Della
ware"
This law says the STANDARD peach
basket shall hold one-half Of a bushel.
Now. as is we'll known, the regula-
tion ive-eighths basket holds five
eighths Of a bushel-supposed TO be
five full half pecks.
Several years ago an effort was made
to do away with the iive-eighths bas-
ket IN favor Of the Georgia carrier as
more convenient and safe basket for
peaches and a receptacle which would
insure better exposition of the fruit
and consequently better sale but
there was a fight and the measure
died
Now. however, the standard peach
basket is made the half-bushel, basket
much smaller and lighter.
I'VE might as we'll come to this
said Senator Furniss, who was one Of
the advocates Of the bill. Peaches
from elsewhere are now shipped in

record to date of the marital troubles
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank ]. Alexander.
Of Hoboken, and Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
j. Heitemeyer.
Alexander obtained a divorce. men
tioning Heitmeyer as correspondent
and then sued him charging aliena-
tion of Mrs. Alexander's affections.
This suit was recently transferred to
to New York on the ground that
Heitemeyer now lives there. The
Heitemeyers formerly lived in Ho-
boken. Mrs Heitemeyer has now
brought suit for divorce, naming Mira.
Alexander
The final decree in the Alexander
suit was signed by Chancellor Walk
er three months ago. In the testi-
mony it was brought out that the
Alexanders we're married in New
York in September, 1901. They were
living in Newark when Heitemeyers
attentions to Mrs. Alexander began.
Subsequently. It was alleged, Heite-
meyer and Mrs. Alexander Travelled
together through this country and
Europe and finally came to New York
city. Later Alexander moved to Ho-
boken, where he is now living.

MUST RAISE 4
RATES, RAILROAD
MEN NOW SAY

NEW YORK, May 3.--The 81 rail-
roads Of the East. comprising prac-
tlcally all the railroad systems of this
territory, are planning to present to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
some time this year, and possibly dur
ing the summer new schedule of
freight rates, which calls for an aver
age increase of at least per cent. in
all classes Of freight.
The basis of application for the ad-
vance, it is believed. will be on the
rates between New York and Chicago,
which will can a readjustment up
ward of rates throughout the country.
Railroad presidents say that the
matter was under discussion, and that
probably a majority Of the great roads
Of the east were agreed that an ad-
vance in rates should be asked Tor
before the Commission.
Daniel Wizards Views.
President Daniel Willard, of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. who,
with President Samuel Rea, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, has been men
toned as taking the lead in the mat
ter, said that neither he nor Presi-
dent Rea had been appointed and tho
the railroads have taken no action
in the matter.
Speaking for the Baltimore and
Ohio and myself" said Mr.. Willard,
when asked as to his own views on
the necessity of higher freight rates
for the railroads, Il will say that
am in favor of per cent. advance
In the rates and in going before the
Commission to obtain them"
The great increase in expenses that
have been brought upon the railroads
particularly since the arbitration
afterwards increasing the wages of
the engineers and firemen, have made
It certain that In a very short time
demand would be made by the roads
upon the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to be allowed to advance the
rates.
Reasons for Advance.
The award of the Vanhise commits
sion board that granted an increase
in the wages Of the engineers last
November brought an additional
charge of 100000 upon the eastern
roads. The award to the firemen on
arbitration of their demands will cost
the roads between S3,000,000 and s4,-
100000 The trainmen also have for
mulated demands
