The University has received news

A Story to the Point.
There are few things which will re.
mind them the better of this fact than
the story which Professor Albion Small
tells in the twenty-fourth chapter Of
his book. Between Eras, From Capt..
talism to Democracy" Professor
Small, it must be remembered, is un-
questionably the leading sociologist in
the United States, student not alone
Of books, but of movements and Of
men. The title of the chapter in ques.
tion is "The Degenerate" 1t paints
the rapid corruption of Buck" Lyon,
the scion of a rich Chicago family,
made possible by the foolish affection
OF the boys mother. Most strikingly
does it describe the ruin brought by
him on the young high school girl,
Lizzie Lawton." 1t is at this phase
Of the story that Catholic parents
| should pause for consideration.
Lizzie's real family name was Cas-.
sidy, and her parents had never been
ashamed of that name for themselves.
Their modest home in South Halstead
street was not to be despised; but
their oldest daughters husband had
a select grocery trade in Kenwood,
and as the family ambitions began to
center around Lizzie, it was decided
that she would have a better chance
to make the most of herself IL she lived
with her sister while she was in high
school and adopted her more genteel
name." 1t was there that she met
Buck" Lyon, the reputation" of
whose family and whose dashing ways
intoxicated her. Lyon and his COM
panions in evil made practice of
rushing" the girls at the high school
for no good purposes; and it was
thus that Lizzie, Catholic girl and

At the beginning of the present
month the chaste columns Of the Free
mans journal were draped in mourn
ing for the lost opportunities of the
journalistic job hunter. Mr.. Birrell
having gone and left his friends Ia
menting, the only hope of the disap-
pointed ones lay in the succession to
the vacant Office of politician as
affable and accommodating as the
elected tenant. But it was not to be.
A Unionist, in the person of Mr.. Duke,
K. c., was picked for the post, and at
once a chorus Of angry howls was
raised. Now was surely reached the
last milestone in 'the rake's prog
ress" of the Coalition Cabinet. The
new Chief Secretary was introduced
as a broad-minded man, but the Whig
organ scoffed at his claim to that COM
pliment. Mr.. Duke had been elected
to defeat Home Rule; he was Coer-
cionist, and he wanted to see the Con-
scription Act extended to Ireland. Mr..
Asquith said that one of Mr.. Dukes
commissions would be to search out a
settlement for bringing the Home Rule
Act into operation. What job for
q Unionist Chief Secretary" screamed
the Freeman's Journal, "and what
trusting people Irish Home Rulers are
expected to bel" This cue was taken
by some of the Nationalist members,
who prepared themselves to hound
Mr.. Duke from Office before he could
take up it's duties, solely because he
was Tory. We said what we thought
about their performance, and our pro
test was not without effect. Mr.. Dill.
lon might complain that their friends
the Liberals had given them more
kicks than thanks, but then Mr.. Bir

bruises. The Nationalist members
who were barring their teeth at Mr.
Duke. were the very men who were
tamest when the Government which
Mr.. Birrell represented were shiftiest
in their dealings with this country.

out how he could make things pleas

When the Catholic University of
America opened its doors on Tuesday,
the 26th instant, there was assembled
the largest class in the history Of the
institution. The freshman class alone
numbers over one hundred and fifty
students, which means that over six
hundred pupils will be registered at
this great Catholic educational center
during the coming year. z.
The University offers, in addition
to its notable opportunities for post
graduates, a variety of courses to the
pupil just graduated from high school.
Among these are the courses in engi-
neering, comprising civil engineering,
mechanical engineering, architecture,
and the electrical engineering, which
courses are growing in popularity with
each succeeding year. There are also
thorough courses in mathematics, as
tronomy, physics, mechanics and
chemistry, and the equipment for all
these courses is modern and complete.
There is three-year course in COM
mon law, leading to the degree of
LIB, while degrees of LIN, and
id, may be had in the graduate de.
partment Of common law. Law stu.
dents may follow such courses in
other departments as philosophy, let

BIG INHERITANCE
TAX FROM ESTATE

Atlanta, Ca. Dec. 1o-The state of
Georgia is to receive 5 per cent OF the
entire Egleston estate as inheritance
tax, according to Comptroller Gem
eral Wright. This will amount to $780,
coo or more, as the estate is estimat-
ed to be worth $1,000,000
Judge Wright made this announce
ment Monday following the recent de-
cision of Judge Pendleton on Satur-
day in which the Superior court of
fetal cleared up the relation of the
original will and a codicil drawn up
later while Mr.. Egleston was in a
Philadelphia hospital
When the will was written the in
heritance tax was not a law. When
the codicil was written the inheritance
law lad been passed, and while the
codicil made no specific mention of
the inheritance tax it provided that
the codicil should be literally con-
strued." Taking this to mean that
Mr.. Egleston wished the legatees
should be provided for first of all,
Judge Pendleton decided that the in
heritance tax should be paid out of
the residue of the estate so that each
legatee will receive the exact amount
specified without any reduction for
inheritance tax.
Comptroller General Wright rules
that the inheritance tax must be paid
on the entire amount without any ex-
emptions, and that the rate shall be
5 per cent, the limit allowed by the
| law. This tax must be paid the state
of Georgia within II months after
the death of Mr. Egleston.
