Another college has excommunicat- ed smoking and chewing. That is Aiuhlenberg College of Pennsylvania, not c. great college in magnitude. but noble one in spirit. The issue in this case is not mortal one. It is not a question whether 1t Is wicked or simply an educational matter While a boy IS pursuing his studies and forming his habits. he should not in- dulge so much in the fruits of the flesh, which smoking and chewing are. He should take care of his nerves his will power, his intellect bis time. an of which are at the mercy of the nicotine habit
 The account of the suspension says the professors don't like it. Units them as badly as it does the students. That is all right. # boys are prohi6- tied. so the professors should be. Real- ly # the professors were prohibited. there might not have been any occas- sion for prohibiting Che students. As is tho faculty. SO is the college. Ri diculous is the idea that learning is one of those transcendent virtues that cannot be contaminated by undesir- able associatons.-(Ohio State Jour nab

 SEATTLE, Jan. 1.--Henry Roden. of Juneau. former member of the Alaska Senate, who came to Senttie more than 9 month ago, recently made Q flying trip to the Alaska capital, from which he returned only Q few days ago. Yesterday he left for Cal ifornia for a stay Of week or ten days. during which time he will look over the grounds Of the Panama-Pa- clfic Exposition, as ho expects to be In Juneau most of the time that the fair is in active operation.
 or the reports of the discovery Of gold in tho Broad Pass Country, he said yesterday;
 "Wben ] was in Juneau saw some samples of tho quartz which had been brought in from that district. It is impossible. however. to say what may bo expected of it. Some of the sam ples were pretty fair. others not very good. An of it is quartz, however no placer gold having been found at an. There has been no stampede in there on that account, as the naturo Of the ore. Of course, necessitates @ supply of money to operate. .'-( Seat le PostIntelngencer)

tence in his possession, County De-
tective Daniel McKelvey has left for
Harrisburg to arrest ]. Robin Ben

be admitted to practice at the local
bar. Bennett has been spending his
time in this city and Harrisburg and
he is now thought to be in the latter

The warrant was sworn out late
yesterday before Alderman Frank B.

had given out bad checks. The mat
ter was brought to the attention of the
bar association and the negro lawyer
was instructed to appear several days
ago before Judge H. A. Fuller to settle
the trouble. He failed to come to this
city, however. and the county detective
was sent after him..
Federal Charges Denied
1t had also been reported that Ben
nett was facing several federal charges.
This was denied to-day. 1t was stated
that complaints had been made re-
garding Benefits checks and he re-
signed. He was entitled to fifteen days

be effective until August /. Bennett
had been in the postal department en-
ploy for three years. He was also ad-
mitted to the Dauphin county bar some

Here, Tells of Economic Posi-
bilities of German Activities

In the current issue of the Iron Age,
leading steel trade journal, II. II.
Campbell, formerly vice-president and
general manager of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, at Steelton, contributes
an interesting article on The Future
OF Germany's Steel Industry" In his
paper Mr.. Campbell discusses the eco
nomic possibilities of changes in the
status of German and French Lorraine
ana or German Poland from the view
point Of the steel manufacturer.
This is the first contribution from
the former Steelton mans pen since
his enforced absence from active work
on account of his failing health. His
DOCK on The Manufacture and Prom

an authority on the subject.

that work. To such it is not necessary
TO give any reminder of Mr.. Campbelrs
