Katharine Lee Bates, of Wellesley, writing to the Boston Transcript, contrasts the college girl of to-day with the one of twenty years ago. Then the college girl was an exception in her community. She was usually the daughter of a straggling country minister, a missionary, or a lecturer—that >* to say, she came from a house hold of plain living and high thinking. "She was stoop shouldered. perhaps, and defi cient in social ease, but she took her mind seriously.” To-day Prof. Bates finds the college girl in the merry fore ground of the student world, going to college for "the life". She is well gowned, athktic, radient. She is bee from morbidness and is not frightened over religions doubt. She will be less easily imposed upon than her mother by sc leery in print or on the platform. In other words to put it briefly, *{** l of this period thinks in her heart that youth. o«a«tjr, charm, the genius for anlrs are the points that count for a woman of the world. AU of which means that college life does not tend to destroy tba "eterwl womanly,” but is developing a new and most in taicstmg type of it. 5u*4a to Kk Frlands. MliSwnaf Wtw President Roosevelt is the frankest and breeziest and most daring man who ever occupied the White House. What he thinks he soys, anil be thinks in a fresh free kind of n Wav more like an honest and impulsive boy than a politician or a President. It was very characteristic that he took the opportunity ul Harvard University yesterday to pour out hi* Admiration for three of his special friends and his resent ment against their critics. He Udd his hearers that General Wood, Governor Taft and Secretary Root are able, honest and conscientious officials who have made great personal sacri fice* in the service of the coun »®d have received in return little honor, no money and nn limitcd abuse. He contrasted the honors bestowed by the English on their officers in Sooth Africa with the scanty applause and abundant criticism that have been the lot of nearly all onr leading public men and especially of these three frieuds of him *"« nesidem s outspoken personal affection and admira tion for these gentleman and bis indignation against their critics do him credit, and make as high a tribute as any officials have ever received. It is useless, to expect that any man can lie eminent or in any way disting uished and escape attack. Censure is an inevitable penalty of prominence. It has always been so and always will be so until human nature has under gone some radical changes. The policy of our government ha* J>WI against permanent reward in the shape of honors or gifts for any public service. Men who have attained the highest place of all and served as presi dents have been allowed to drop into obscurity and sometimes iu to poverty. The best that die ablest soldiers cau hope for is retirement at a very moderate salary or a pension in case he is disabled. The federal judge who lives long enough may hope to retire ana have his pay contin ued after his service nas been completed. _ As for the states man, he is simply dropped when his term has expired and left to shift for himself. The theory is that the country pays a man for his service while he is serving and deals with him absolutely on a business basis. Our people have been wisely jealous of the creation of any official or special ly favored classes, and the whole theory and method of our gov ernment is against public gratn ties. While our criticisms of our conspicuous public servants are harsh and often unjust, they cannot be prevented or avoided so long as we maintain free speech and a free press. People have the right to hold and ex press their opinions of the ptib lie acts of public men. The President should be old enough and enough of a philosopher to know how to take these things with good nature and as part of the game. _ The only way for a man to avoid making enemies is to do nothing and say nothing, and the only refuge from censure is the most profound obscurity. Immunity at such a price is too costly.__ A Reminder. miaikipbia Than A discussion among relatives over the selection of a name for a little girl whose arrival was a recent event in an nptown home: "I should like ’Geraldine,’ ventured the baby’s mother. "Why not ‘Esmeralda?" asked one of the grandmothers. "1 read the name in a novel once, and always wanted to try it ou a babv." "It isn’t bad ns a name," opined the other grandmother; "but it isn’t to be considered with Fanchon.’ If the baby is named to pleaae me at all, ita name shall be ‘Fanchon.’ " "Now, let me ask if you don’t think ‘Kltesaa’ a pretty name?” interjected one of the aunts. "And It’s so odd, too!” she ad ded. "Excuse me, ladies I” here put fa the father, who began to think he had some say In the matter. I d Hke to ask you not to forget that we want a name for a human being—not for a five-centrigar!” ^ Ocean Travel. rfcUUtlvfcU BMord The record-breaking time of nve dav», eleven hours and thirty two minutes from New York to Phnnonth, nude hv the Kron PT'n* Wnhelm oo her latest east* ward trip, is another leather ia the cap of German marine en glnem and naval adehUecta.

There was high wind, considerable rain and much thunder and lightuing. The damage to trees, window shatters, outhouses, etc., was considerable in the aggregate. The K. 31. M.

Superintendent Rawls, of the waterworks, cleaned out the reservoir at the pumping station a few days ago and found but a small quantity of sediment i a the bottom. It seems that the effect of the new settling pool has been to greatly purify the water. The standpipe is to be cleaned with in a few days. Kev. J. M.

There was quite a number of bids for the $12,500 of 5 per cent bonds the board has to sell, some of the bids being considerably above par; but there was no decision as to which bidder would receive the award, the matter being gov erned by a contingency that could not be settled without fur ther correspondence. The con tract for the. erection of the pro posed bnilding, of course, could not be awarded until the bond question was disposed of. Negroes Dying Oat in Cuba. Philadelphia Medical Journal. The nepro question seems to be in a fair way to settle itself in Cuba without recourse to aid of Philanthropic societies or gov ernmental regulations. Major Gorgas telli ns in his report on the vital statistics of the cities of Havana aud Guanabacoa that l during the mouth of January in ! those cities the native whites 1 showed an excess of 188 births over death, that is, the figures were 157 and 269, whereas the native negroes showed an excess of 58 deaths over births; that is to say, figures were 128 and 70. The figures for the year 1901 are even more significant. During the twelve months the native whites lost 513, making a total gain lor the natives of 1,227 in habitant*. The deaths of the foreigners brought the differeucc down exactly one, although it mast be remembered that the number of foreigners dying indi cates that the city is gaining rapidly in population by immi gration. If this keep* np for a rojonablc length of time there will soon be no negroes left in Cuba, and this notwithstanding the fact that the difficulty of obtaining marriage licenses does not appear to have any deterrent eBect upon the increase of the negro population, because of all birtha among negroes fifty-seven were legitimate end only thirteen were illegitimate.
