COLLEGE EDUCATION.

To put the best into men that the
best may be brought out is the aim
OF the business fellowships that have
been established by the New York
University. BY a selective process
as careful as that which marks the
designation of Rhodes scholars young
men are being chosen for these fell
lowships. First they must be nomi-
mated by an approving faculty, to
whom their records as students are
as open books. Then they must pass
the rigid inspection Of corporation ex-
ecutives-men who know men. Final
ly they will learn to know just what
can be applied and to apply that which
has been learned.--N. Y. American.

clal figures.
Last year ordinary government ex.
penditures were $4,000, 900 greater
than the year before, although the
public service, in some respects, was
actually curtailed, to the inconveni.
ence OF its patrons. The great weak.
ness in revenue raising is In the I'm.
derwood tariff act. Last year, with
a decrease of but S139,000,000 in i'm.
ports as compared with 1918, the du.
ties collected were 5000, 1858 ,107, while
for 1918 they were $31S,S91, 1856. There
is difference to the bad Of over $1o9,.
100000 in one year. OF course with
decreased revenues and increased ex.
penditures it is only question OF time

1t is further considered that it may be
deemed wise to lay out S500,000,0 900 for
national defense at the next session
of congress the prospect for taxpayers
is by no means reassuring, and for the
Democratic party, which is responsible
for the state of affairs to date, less so
much as has been due to war-and

Death of Mrs. Hunter.

Mr.. Johu Arnott received the sad
intelligence yesterday that his aunt,
Mrs. Thomas Hunter, had passed
away, the previous evening. at her

four years, she was unable to over
come. Mrs. Hunter and family
were residents of this place some
ycaes since and her charming, SYM
pathetic nature won for friend
every one who knew her. The
body will be brought to Crested Butte

ter who died during the epidemic Of
diptheria a few years ago. The
funeral will take place Mt the Con-
greg ltional church, Sunday at 2:30,

In the recent report of Prof. Mer-
rill regarding the marbles of Colo
rado lie ha, the follow &:
THE marble deposits in the state
that have been developed most are
those in Gunnison county. This
marble is in Il distinct class by itself
1t is of fine even capitalization. 1t
is pure carbonate of lime it'll nei-
ther mineral nor vegetable foreign
matter to mar its beauty or impair
its durability. 1t is practica!ly free
from bed seams and can be quarriel
in blocks of uniform quality in an,
number and in sizes up to the limi
of transportation.
The deposit is, for practical pur-
poses, inexhaustihle. Production ~
a million feet per year for five hun.
dred years would still leave plenty
OF marble for future generations.
These facts are demonstrabe by ar-
tual MEASUREMENT of the deposit
and before they are discarded ~ un
reasonable, or unbelievable, it Shouti
be remembered that the quarrics u,
Carrara have been in coutinuous op
Grafton eleven hundred years and
that they still produce marble
the rate of very much more than
one million cubic feet per annun. "
