cussed by Mexicans and foreigners and
frequently it is Mexican citizen who
expresses the opinion publicly that
the United States or some other power
or powers should intervene.
In the colonia Juarez last night a
gathering of Mexican women of the
better class made no secret Of their
desire for Intervention Their formal
statement of their feeling was as fol-
lows: -E. -

country's troubles, even through in

Conditions in the capital are stead

At about 9 o'clock the rebels gun.
ners turned their attention away from
the national palace and onto the fed
eral batteries near the British lega.
ton from which the government gun
ners were pounding them unmerci-
fully.
Many shrapnel shells from the rebel
artillery fell around the cable office,
the American club and other buildings
in that vicinity. Others reached their
mark, the national palace at the end
Of the line of streets.
Two federal batteries of five guns
each stationed near the British lega-
ton poured constant stream of shells
into the arsenal. Another federal bat

street, joined in.
Talking Of Intervention.
Five days of fighting in the streets
Of the capital has, in the opinion of
close observers, done more to change
the sentiment of Mexicans in regard
to Intervention than has the whole two
years period of revolution. -~~
Months ago a quiet feeling began to
develop among a few Of the better
class of Mexicans in favor of outside
assistance but it found no public ex-
preston at that time. This sentiment
has steadily grown however, and the
events Of the last few days have
strengthened it tremendously.
The subject is now frankly dis

Claims Board Done Duty.

James H. Trewin said: ..
It is an old saying among us law
yers that when you have bad case,
! jump onto the lawyer for the other
side; I submit to you whether or not
Mr.. Weaver hasn't done a good job OF
| that. r.. a.. .,r-.,. .
This is no new idea; it is twenty
years old: and the board was created
| to do away with the rivalries and jeal-
ousies, to make these institutions
work together, and to relieve Iowa
! from unnecessary expense of wasted
effort s,- ,..-
I This matter was under consideration
from the very inception of the board;
because it was anticipated that when
the 35th general assembly met you
would be asking us what we had done
to carry out the will of the people for
this college reform as indicated to us
through the legislature. Yet we are
branded almost as guilty of high
crimes and our very motives have been
impugned.
They have endeavored to bring the
poor old Laird of Skibe Castle into
this discussion as a bogy. Mr.. Carne-
gle, by the way, has nothing to do
with the Carnegie foundation. But the
very legislature that created our board
directed it to seek to bring each OF
these colleges under the Carnegie
foundation.
Mr.. Weaver did not tell the truth
as to the attendance at the engineer
ing schools; there has been a steady
decline in attendance at Iowa City
engineering school and a steady in
crease at Ames: yet all the time they
have been making concessions to in
duce students at Iowa City and have
maintained a lower standard than at
Ames. @.-,
When the state of Iowa entered into
it's contract with the federal govern
ment under the Morrill, act it bound
itself to MAINTAIN at Ames school for

professions.

WILL MAKE BABIEs IMMUNE

An interesting experiment for the
purpose Of creating immunity against
tuberculosis is being tried in Pitts.
burgh under the direction Of the Tuber-
culosis League Of that city. Dr.. viii
liam Charles White, medical director
of the league, says it will probably
take ten years before definite results
Of the work will be appreciated. The
experiment is being conducted on the
theory that much, If not all, tuber-
culosis infection begins in childhood.
In view Of this fact, the league is
aiming to supervise the growth Of
every baby born for the next ten
years in the south side district Of
Pittsburgh. The babies and their
mothers will be taken in charge at
the birth Of the infant, and everything
possible will be done to increase the
resisting power Of the child to disease
and to make it thereby immune to
tuberculosis infection. The theory of
the society is that by FORTH ing the

ity Of Russian titles Rothay Reynolds
IN my Russian Year says:
B aIn Russia al the descendants Of 4
hereditary nobleman are noble, and all
the descendants Of princes, counts and
barons enjoy the right to use those
titles; hence there are rich princes and
poor princes, princes with distinguish
ed manners and princes with no man
ners, elegant princes and princes you
could not possibly be seen walking
down Piccadilly with. princes in pal
aces and princes In garrets. princes
who are desirable parts and princes
who advertise In the newspapers Tor
wives with money. s6
"a. glance at the st. Petersburg d.
rectory and rough. calculation show
that there are some 200 men, women
and children In the capital alone who
all belong to the same prfncely family
and bear the same name and exalted
title.
The arst prince met in st. Peters
burg was the head waiter Of the Hotel
De France. He had an incontesdble
right to the title and was an excellent
servant. His case. however, ought not
to be cited as an instance 1.-THE decay
Of the Russian nobility. for he was q

where princes were so abundant that
when Russia acquired It only those
who could produce certain number of
sheep were granted the legal right to
preserve the title. Many borrowed
sheep for the purpose. and princes are
SO common at the present day that

lance is attached to the possession Of

CROWNED WITH A SILK HAT.

West African savagss Have 4 Queer
Way Of lnauguratino = King.
In "The Fetish Folk Of West Africa"
Mr.. Robert 81. Milligan describes the
grotesque ceremony of inauguratdng q
native king:
The king was chosen from among the
people by the elders, and he was select
ed for his wisdom. The ceremonies Of
his enforcement were such that he re-
quired not only wisdom, but also cour-
age, physical strength and superb d.
/ gest1on. The mans first indmation
that he had been chosen by the elders
was an onrush Of the entire tribe-not
to do him honor, but to abuse and in
suit him in every possible way.
They would hurl opprobrtous epithets
at him, curse him, spit upon him, pelt
him with mud and beat him, for, they
said, from this time on he could do all
these things to them, and they would
be powerless to retahate. It was their
last chance!
They also reminded him of all his
failings in graphic and minute particu-
lars. If the king survived this treat
ment he was then taken to the former
kings house. where he was solemnly
invested with the insignia of the king
~ Office in the shape of silk hat. No
one except the king was permitted to
wear a silk hat.
Following the Inauguration ceremony
the people came and bowed before the
new king in humble submission, while
they praised him as enthusiastically as
they had before reviled him. Then he
was fed and feted for a week, during
which time he was not permitted to
leave his house. but had to receive
guests from all parts of his dominion
and eat with them ALL These ceremo-
MES ended. he turned to the compare
lively easy and commonplace duties Of
his kingly Office. This custom, like
many others, has passed away under
the influence of civilization.
