Jackson, Miss, Sept. 25.-Col. Leroy
Taylor, for six years member of the
board of trustees of the Mississippi
State Penitentiary, rendered his resig
nation to Governor Brewer this morn
ing. H. E. Mathews, of Oxford, and
ex-sheriff of Lafayette county, was ap-

Ill health and physical disability are

his action in resigning.
Col. Taylor was elected prison trus-

by the people of his section of the
state two years ago. He resides at
Verona, in Lee county.
| Some months ago friends of Col
Taylor urged him to resign because
of i'll health, but he preferred not to
do so in the face of the sensational

c. Smith, chairman of the board, was
indicted, tried and convicted of graft

himself and Col. w. A. Montgomery

Col. Montgomery was convicted Of
misfeasanace in office at the last tern

to the supreme court. Col. Taylor'E

YALE OPENS WITH
BANNER ENROLMENT

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 25.-Yale
University opened for the academic
year 1894 with the largest under
graduate enrolment in its history. So |
far about $50 students are enrolled in !
the freshman class, which is more
than there were last year, when the
highwater mark in enrolment was
reached. The number of seniors is also
larger than ever before and for the first
time Dean Jones was puzzled how to
house all these students on the
campus.
When Wright dormitory was opened
last fall 1t was understood that it was
to be exclusively a freshman dormi-
tory and by means of it the university
officials thought that they had solved
the freshman problem, which has dis
turbed those in authority at Yale for
many years. But even with this addi-
tional building there were last year
few freshmen who could not be housed
under the direct supervision Of the
university authorities. This year the
university authorities have leased two
of the buildings used last year by
students and there the freshmen and
! other students who cannot find room
in the regular dormitories on the cam
pus. will be housed under the super
vision of the faculty. Last year and
in former years there was a great
d - "o~'..,-.ot that the students
living in private quarters. not supervis-
ed by the faculty, did not lead life
becoming to students; that they often
held poker parties and other enter
tainments at which liquor was used
to excess, in their private quarters
The university authorities hope to pre-
vent re-occurence of such scenes by
keeping the students under strict su
pervision by members of the faculty

The Catholic party, while supporting
the present administration, morally
and financially, it is explained, realized
the futility of endeavoring to continue
Gen. Huerta in office in face of op-
position on the part of the United
States, and the consequent inability of
the government to borrow money.
This attitude was plainly indicated to
President Huerta, who was brought to
realize it's consistency and finally sane
toned the proposed nominations and
gave assurances of his support of the
ticket. He said that he would not be
the candidate of any other party or
faction.
The efforts of the Catohlic party, it
is said, have been directed at the Sc
lection of men who would be accept

elderly people who remember when

In these days of efficiency when
every motion is timed to the revolu-

There are none too many breaks. A
