Negro Women Barred at Sge Dor mitory Alleges Protest ing Sophomore Ithaca Dispatch to the New York World. There is a strong prejudice at Cornell University against colored students and that it has gone so far as to make it impossible for young colored women to obtain rooms in the woman's domitory at Sage College is the charge made by James B. Clark, a young negro student, in the Cornell Era. Clark says that the ideals of the founder in establishing an insti tution where any person might ob tain instruction are not being car ried out. He is a sophomore, and comes from Castries, St- Lucia,the West Indies. In part he says: "Four years ago a person who wished instruction made application before arriving here for accomoda tion in the dormitory for female persons. The officials in charge of the building found out that the applicant.although not more heavily pigmented than the average resi dent, belonged to a type of persons known as colored. "Shortly after the father of this girl received a curt note containing his deposit, and informing him it was a cruel imposition not to have said his daughter was a negress- ."Last year two women students who had grown tired of climbing the hill or getting half frozen wait ing for street cars wished to . ob tain rooms near the university. The only place where they could even dare to apply was Sage College.Here the dean informed them that while she herseif hand no objection to letting them draw for rooms someof the other occupants of the building would make it very , unpleasant for them. "Those women were therefore obliged to .go back this year to the negro quarter, in the lower part of the town. Is that the way Mr- Cor nell's ideals are being carried out? Is this the way Goldwin Smith's memory is being honored and re spected. Does Andrew p. White ap prove of this state of affairs?" Dainty Agnes Was Daubed. From the New York Press. Agnes Quigg, 4 years old, of 737 Washington street, wandered from home, and while she was sitting at Bleeker and West Tenth streets con tentedly suckling a stick of candy of brilliant hue her frantic moth er was imploring the police in the Charles street precincts to have a general alarm sent out- If the police had acted on the descrip tion of Agnes given by Mrs. Quigg, they probably never would have found her. "You will recognize her because she is clad in the daintest of cloth es, and for a child of her years she s as clean and as neat as can be, Mrs. Quigg said. "Please hurry, be cause some one told me a strange man was seen talking to her, and I'm so afraid she has been kidnapp ed-" One of those who went out to 00k for the child was Detective Doyle. When he . reached Bleeker and Tenth streets he saw a little girl who seemed to be taking in the sights. The youngster's face was grummed and colored with sug ar and dye from the candy. Her hair was in a tangle and her frock looked as though it had been in the street and run over by a truck or two. "That can't be Agnes," the de tective said to himself as he stood and looked at her- "She doesn't ans wer the description at all as to neat ness and cleanliness. The age.size and hair, and eyes are all right, but the dirt and the untidiness are all wrong. However, I'll take a chance." He stepped up to the little way- ferer, asked her name, and as straight as a shot it came back to him the bedraggled, candy-daubed child was the neat and dainty Ag nes who left home earlier in - the day and had gone tagging after a snow shoveler. Civilization in Delaware. Wilmingon (Del ) Dispatch to New York Times. John H. Williams, a negro, was hungry the other day, and so he stole two custard pies worth 5 cents each. He pleaded guilty, and was sentenced in the country court to ten lashes and one year's im prisonment. John Senn, a white man, who also wanted something 'to eat.stole 12 pounds of ham. He received a similar sentence. Solomon Laws admitted stealing $6 suit of clothes. He got ten lash es and eighteen months. Charles Stevenson, a negro,stole rubber junk, which he sold for 20 cents and a drink of liquor- He was sentenced to ten lashes and " a year in prison. In Delaware petty thieves are lashed while embezzlers are only imprisoned. Prisoner for Forty Years. Bridgeport Dispatch to the New York Tribune. At a hearing on the application of her son for the appointment of a conservator for Mrs. William H Thorpe, 70 years old, wife of a well-known Grand Army man, in the probate court, testimony was given to show that Mrs. Thorpe.al leged to be incompetent and worth $75,000, had been kept a prisoner in her home for 40 years. In that time, it was testified she had never handled a dollar, had nev er left her, own premises,and had never worn a woman's hat.Although there is a trolley line about two blocks f ron her home, she has nev er seen ; a trolley car- She has lived. in this city practically all her life.

Boston Dispatch to New York Sun- William Jennings Bryan, who came here to deliver a talk before the City Club, is not a candidate for public office. He said so him self. "No, I am not a candidate,"said Mr. Bryan. "I have stated that I am not a candidate and do not ex pect to be a candidate. I am not a candidate for any office. But lest the simple statement that I am not a candidate for any office may be misconstrued, I may explain that I do not intend to say that I have given any pledge not to become a candidate for office. I say that I am not a candidate; that I have no intention of being a candidate for any political office, and that I do not forsee now any circumstance or condition that would make me a candidate- "I take a great interest in every political and economic question be fore the' American people. I shall al ways retain that interest, and when I say I am not a candidate for ' of fice I do not mean that I shall re linquish my interest of activity. I shall always discuss public questions and urge upon the people such pol icies as appear to me to be for the best interests of this nation'.' Col. Bryan, when asked what he had to say in regard to Secretary Ballinger's resignition, replied. "I'll tell you a little story told by Senator Jones, of Nevada. He said that in that State his collea gue was defeated for the short term. A friend came in and asked, "Who is the new senatoT?" and then be fore Jones could answer said, 'Nev er mind; he's an improvement, any way.' Now you can make your own application of that story to the present situation." A Desperate Preference. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer "Are you the editor?" "Yes." "I have here a novel of mystery and a spring poem. Which will you take?" "Gimme the spring poem." It Came in Handy. From the Chicago News. Country Editor It's cold here; put something into the stove.

GOAT BUTTS SPEEDING AUTO. "Honk! Honk!" Says Chaff eur, and Billy Honks Back and Charges. From the New York Press. There was a collision between a billygoat and an automobile in the boulevard near twenty-second street. Bayonne, with the result that the billygoat smashed one of the lamps of the machine, put a big dent ia the hood, and then proceed to butt from the immediate neighborhood small boys who congregated in. arge numbers near the scene of the unusual accident. The collision was due to the fact that the billy goat, which just had eaten an old broom and was devouring pasteladeD show posters for dessert, insisted on using the roadway in the boule vard for his dining table. The driver of the approaching au tomobile honked his horn for billy to get out of the way. The goat felt so sure of his ground, however, that he merely honked back and took a fresh mouthful of deepred poster and shook the danger signal in the face of the chaff eur. "All right, Billy; I'm sorry for you," tne cnaiieur saia, ana ne sent his machine spinning toward the goat. Billy saw the two lamps in front, mistook them for the eyes of a new and a strange-appearing animal. hunched himself and launched for ward at the psychological moment His aim was true, and he struck one with force that the chaffeur was showered with splintered glass, which would call forvan' explanation to his employe later- As the ma chine lifted the belligerent animal it kicked the hood of the machine and caved it in. Theu Billy gave up for the moment and permitted the auto to toss him into a snowpile at the side of the boulevard. He was in cold storage only a few seconds when he heard boys laughing at what they regarded his hard luck. Indignant bceause of juvenile misconception of what real ly had occurred impelled him to hump himself once more. He emerg ed from the snowpile like a rotary plow from a drift on the Northern Pacific road and sent the boys scur rying for safety- Then Billy went tc a billboard, pulled off both legs and part of the torso of an actress in tights, returned to his stand in the center' of the toulevaTd, and resumed his interrupted meal. Poultry Fencing. Mr. Farmer, if you want the best Poultry fence on earth, and something that will be an ornament and a life long friend, write for my special "Poultry catalogue." Froe Sample Aids Bid Den The sudden change from years of activity of both body and mind to the quiet of later years causes the human system to undergo many; changes, chief of which is in the di gestive organs. It becomes harder and harder to get the bowels to move promptly and regularly and In consequence many elderly men suf fer not only from the basic touble. con stipation, but from indigestion, headache, belching, sour stomach, drowsiness alter eatinsr and similar annoyances. It is first of all necessary to keep the bowels open and then to tone the digestive muscles so as to get them to again do their work naturally. A violent cathartic or purga tive is not only unnecessary but harm ful, and something mild will do the work just as well. After you have got through experiment ing with salts and pills and waters of various kinds, and have become convinced that they do only temporary good at best, then try Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a mild, gentle, pleasant-tasting laxative tonic that is especially adapted to the requirements of old people, women and children, and yet is effective enough for anybody. Your druggist, who has handled It successfully for a quarter of a cen tury, will sell you a bottle for fifty cents or one dollar, but If you want to make a test of it before spending any money send your name and address to Dr. Cald well and he will gladly send you a sampla bottle free of charge. This remedy is rapidly displacing all other forms of medication for tha euro of stomach, liver and bowel trouble. aftI families like Mr. O. P. Wisher's of Syca- mere. HI., and Mrs. Carrie Culler's of 325 N. Notre Dame street. South Bend. Ind.. are now never without it in the house. They have tested it and know its grand value to every member of th family. Dr. Caldwell personally will be pleased to give you any medical advice you may aesire for yourseir or family pertaining to the stomach, liver or bowels absolutely free of charge. Explain your, case in a letter and he will reply to you in detiiL For the free sample simply send your name and address on a postal card or otherwise. For either request the doctor's address is Dr. W. B. Caldwell, R.500 Cald well building, Monticello. I1L Total . $1,663.00 know. For sale by J. G. Hall.
