ENROLLMENT OF 100 IN COLUMBIA
 EXTENSION COURSE
Teachers in the Suburbs Are Included In Glasses
 Soon to Open

Nearly 100 teachers and others have registered in the three courses elected from the four offered by Columbia in the establishment of a local center for university work in this city. That about 25x per cent of the teachers in the elementary schools have thus shown their active interest in, higher professional work speaks well for the professional spirit of the corps.
 As is customary in all it's local cen terss the University establishes local |comnittees who shall guide the work in the local zcenteIs and advise upon the needs ofzsstfe comnaunity.l The members of this committee. will fsbe chosen from. those actually engaged in the educational work of the city. Each of the two teachers organizations will be asked to elect one member to rep- resent it's interests, and that the work may be as broad as possible att least two members wiI17be esosen not iden- tified with the inside of the school work. 3ls s4.zss
 The work toA be given is strictly ef Euniversfts4 grade, willzs carry eallege credit .swith it for those who naatrtcu@ late for a degree and fis the same as would be had in the college classes The work in English composition is to be given by MT. BurrilI, the instructor, in the same subject ins the local cen- ter in Jersey City. H This class will neetss at. 7:3O on Wednesdays in the High school, beginning on February 4. Formal registration blanks will be filled out by all registrants. at this first meeting of the class. It. has been found necessary to cuts thes time allowed to the elasss and -pit swills be given for a period and a half, coun ting I S1-2. points and: the fee will therefore be s7.50 instead of $1O. The other classes will meet as heretoforessan- nounced-the one in methods at 4:30 on Tuesdays and the none i'm PsyehoI- |ogyYs at 57s3e on the same day-both. in the High schooI. Prof. Hil1egas of Preachers College, will give both these classes. The first meeting of these Eelasses will occEr @onts February 10e when formal registration will; be- re- quired. ,3ss
 The response to the plan has been most gratifying-tfle teachers of Fair4 field, Long HilI,s Stratford and other places having responded to the invf- Etation to join the center The public
 library will be asked to make up a special list of reference books for use by the members of these classes and thus serve as it always stands ready to serve any need of any class for educational advancement. Any per sons who have held off from register ing until definite announcement re- garding all details was made should Eeommunica.te at once with MT. AE Es Cortright, of Shelton school or by
 phone at his home.

PsEY-M,CAFFREY
 BOUT WAS GREAT sas
 OF SKIE.L

5 One Of the most daring vvagers ever. made on the result Of a boxing bout was that in which Jack Dempsey bet
 a hundred dollars with a friend that Do5ninick tMcCaffrey. one of the clev- crest boxers than in the ring, would not be able1to land his right during a
 battle efs ten rounds. The wager was
 made atzaxa dinner held in the Aster House New r orks enty-six /years ago tonight. Dempsey, was matched
 tos box McCaffrey in Jersey City on
 the following night. McCanrey was at 173 pounds while Dempsey weigh
 ed only 152 pounds Dorninick had a,
 great reputation for putting over the
 sleep punch, and his right hand wal
 Iop was noted for It's soporific qua1i-
 ties, He, had Often demonstrated his
 eleNerness in put n ng yer that right,
 and when Dempsey .wagered that
 Dorninick couldn't land 1t once in ten
 chapters it looked like taking along chance. s.sE = sEz At that time McCaarey was seeking Ia match with Charley Mitchell, and he hoped to demonstrate his right to
 meet the Englishnan by whipping
 went about New York, and a big
 crowd of sports filled the Pavonia Rink in Jersey City on the night of
 Jan. 80, 1888. McCaffrey was not only twenty pounds heavier than sDemp psey,
 but he also had a big advantage in height and reach. It was the general
 opinion. ofsIack, s friends that he was
 nghting too 7bigHand clever g. man. and
 they considered it certain that he
 would lose his bet, while the possi bil- ity of Dem psey,s defeat loomed in their minds.
 The fight was one Of the cIeverest exhibitions Of skill in lodging, side stepping, ducking and foot-worlz in pi1gi1fstic history. Time after time
 McCafrey turned loose his terrible right, but not once, did he land it. i Mindful Of his wager, Dempsey used all his skill in keeping out Of reach Of the ssleep-Wal1op, and eoncentrated on defensive rather. than off ensive tactics. Even at that Jack occasional ay got in a neat left that 5arred his

 Venetian La Furiana. ss
Beautiful Dance Which
 Saw in His Youth.
; ,. tl...-.s.s e ssl. 2

; i 4&.z :
 Paris, Jan. 2e.-Ehe Pope himself has rung the death kneIl of the tango, not by condep1nfng that popular dance but by offerfng a substitute. which is now being praeticed by Roman -so- efety and will soon make its way to Paris. The sPope's Dance. as it has come to be known, is the Vene- tian F'uriana.
 This is the. infornation that comes from. the correspondent Of the, Temps at the Vatican. According to this cor respondent, his Holiness has heard the denunciations against the tango and decided to see for himself just what was objeetIonabIe about sthe dance. 2 This determinatien felIoWed g. eonver- sation he had with several members of the pontif1ca1 household, who are not at all opposed to the dance which had been condemned d by so many otTl- CT ecclesiastics. They explained to the Pope that the difficult steps of the dance kept the attention of the dan cers concentrated on their perfect per formance and did not give. their irrl7- agfnation time to think Of other things, as, they pointed out. Is thA other dances, such as the. waltz. Bos- ton or polka, It was then that his, Holiness decided to see for himself . He asked that two young members of the pontif1caI aristocracy, a. young man and his cousin be summoned to the Vatican. When they arrived he took them into his private cham bers and bade them dance the tango for him.. The intricacy of. the steps amazed him.. and he safdt .E4 ssi.
 50 that is the tango as it is danced in, society. it it z, 2,' X, s9ss.r ss-@. .sYes, your Holiness.,s,- eessf : = '
 feWell.. my schi1dren.1s replied sths Pope you don't seem to get. much fun out of it. It is a sad and gloomy
 dance.'' -ssr
 tI quite understand that syousyoung folk like to dance and theresis no req son why you should not dance, .tosyour hearts content but. instead of adopt ing these ridiculous barbarianzs eon- stortions Wfay don't you dance that de- ligl1tful Venetian dance that T. often saw in my youthful days and which is a,t once elegant. srnerrysand4 graceful ? It is called La *FurIana.'' v~t- ssssg1 u
 The two young performers of the
 tango admitted that this dance was unknownst to then1s at which; the Popa epressedt anazement.s He imme ediateIy set about to explain to them t1eSfnove-s Tnents of the dance and then called in a Vatican servant, who was command; ed to give demonstration of theFur-. lana. Before they left they had inas-, tered the steps and7en taking leaYeaof his Holiness communicated the. new
 dance to their friends They also com.
 nnnieated with Chevalier RicI1etti, di- rector of the Roman eaAcadeny of the
 Dance. who is gathering variations of
 the music which goes with tn e. Fur lana.
