Hereafter any college student who smokes will not receive aid from the Board of Education of the Pres byterian General Assembly. The resolution to this effect was af firmed by Dr. S. C. George, of Pittsburgh, and seconded by Dr. John F. Carson, of Brooklyn, and carried by the Assembly amid shouts of laughter today, be cause many of those who voted or the resolution are themselves inveterate smokers. The Ministerial Relief Commit tee reported today that $750,000 had been collected in the year to ward the $10,000,000 endowment fund authorized two years ago. Unofficially it was said approxi mately $3,000,000 had been raised toward the fund, through be quests and gifts. "You can't raise $10,000,000 on a ten-cent basis," said Dr. John R. Davis, o Philadelphia to the Assembly. Four thousand Pres byterian churches gave nothing to the work of this board last year." Bubonic Plague Havana. May 26.

(By Hugh Hamilton, Winner of J. J. I-arriss hditonai AJeuai.j In regard to the Mexican situa tion President Wilson is undenia bly in favor of peace. Put he now begins to see that matters cannot be settled unless by the Niagara Falls mediators without American occupation of Mexico. Those who are most familiar with him say that he will order the army to remain in Mexico, and fight if needs must be not so much because of the refusal of lluerta to salute the American flag, but to pacify the political un rets and especially to sc'tle the great land question. Undoubtedly Scir l .: Williams voiced the I'residei.. . opinion when he read a letter which was sent him by one in the govern ment service at Vera Cruz, whose signature Senator Wiljiams. tore off. T he letter said, among many other things, "By far the noisest thing in Mexica is the American dollar.' Again, in another part of this letter he said, "It would be better for the Unted States to let those of her citizen who have tak en a gambler's chance and lost rest in peace, than for her to declare war with Mexico." He further infered that it" was not the Mexi can nation as a whole, but the cruel, : insolent leaders, Huerta and Villa, who had caused the outrage against the United States to be committed. President Wilson said, "It is not Mexico but Huerta with whom we are dealing." He does not think it expedient for us tc declare war against Mexico just because Huerta, the wily Indian, insulted the United States. He declares that the Arnerican Sovernment will not evacuate lexico until a stable govern ment is in sight, until the great economincal question is settled. u ; His idea in occupying Mexico is not so much to make Huerta apol ogize, but to establish a firm, sta tic government and the Mexicans welcome with joy the coming ot the comign of the American army to establish peace and , prevent the Mexicans from the intense sufferings to which they are sub jected.: v ,,-f ;v V"S'.:- ;, : The President's motives are of the best possible and he deserves not only praise and honor but the loyal support of all American i .'t- izens, - . . '.-," r , ,j Useful Citizen Pastes DEATH OF N. B. BROUGH TON. Raleigh, May 26. The news of the death of Needham Bryant Broughton honored business and churchman of this city, stirred deeply the people of Raleigh to day noon, he having passed away in a Philadelphia hospital, where he had gone, accompanied by Mrs. Broughton and his family physician, to undergo an opera tion.

Port Au Spain, Trinidad, May 20. General Jose Manuel Her nandez, the Venezuelan revolu tionary leader, who is known as "LI .Uocho," disappeared sudden ly from here today and is under stood to have gone to Venezuela. Hernandez, it is assumed, to carry out his daring enterprise, took advantage of the temporary absence of the Venezuelan war vessels which had been detailed to watch the coast since the discov ery of the presence here of Gen eral Cipriano Castro, the former Venezuelan dictator. The avowed purpose of Her nandez is to start a fevoluton against the government controll ed by Juan Vicente Gomeb, who recently temporarily retired from the Presidency to qualify for re election for another term of four years. Hernandez, who is regarded a the leader of the National Lib era! party in Venezuela, has is sued a manifesto from Venezuelan waters urging his countrymen to take up arms against the govern ment, which.he charges, is tyran nous. 1 lernandez had been here since April 22, when he arrived from New York with the intention later proceeding to Venezuela.

"My heart is inditing a good mat ter, my tongue is the pen of a ready writer." This sounds well, and I do not doubt David meant just what he said. The first part of the text is all right, but I never was a "ready writer." It is so hard to write nautrally, to know how to make a good beginning, and best of all a good ending. We have been here in the "Home" now just four weeks to morrow, but it seems more like four months. We were terribly homesick the first week, there is no use denying it, but we are con valescing now, and I trust out of danger. We are very pleasant ly situation and everything is doneby Supt White and his good wife, to make it seem home-, like to us. The "Home" is a beau tiful brick building, modern . in every respect, with a good water (Continued to rage a.) Spectaoular Blaze Fire on "L" Line 75 Feet Above Ground Halts Trathc. New York, May 27.

The Delicious Spar row When you do not know any oth er way of getting rid of a pest, eat it! This is. the height of wisdom to which the Department of Agri culture has reached in its latest attack upon the ubiquitous Eng lish sparrow. "When sparrows are boned, broiled, buttered and served on toast, they are as fine as quail," says the pamphlet. This is an insult to both toast ami quail. As food sparrows would be about as satisfactory as the four-and-twenty blackbirds set before the king. And when boned, broil ed and buttered, it would take . at lease four-and-twenty sparrows to add an appreciable weight to the dinner-pail. The sparrow is an admitted nui sance. It is noisy, filthy, and de structive. It drives singing-birds and other valuable worin-destroy-ers from the country. Occasion ally it is a service in eating in sects that feed on crops, but on the whole it is neither decorative nor useful. Yet eating is too no ble an end for its ignoble career. And as between enduring it as an unwelcome guest and putting it on the bill-of-fare, most people will be content to choose the pres ent ill rather than fly to those they know not of. A wise man has said that "Birds that men love die young,," and the longevity of the sparrow proves how little real affection is bestowed upon its dun personal- NEW Ab: Summer is here, let us supply your wants.
