BITING CRITICISM APPLAUDED. Sibicriln fir Till Lilcir SI,DO a »aar. Professor E. W. Olmsted Wants Wo men Debarred From Men’s Classes and Given Separate Instruction. Girls Deemed Check to Learning. The uieu of the Cornell College of Arts and Sciences at their banquet in the Dutch kitchen the other night vig orously applauded addresses advocat ing the complete segregation of the co-eds, says an Ithaca 'correspondent of the New York American. The open ing gun was fired by Professor Everett \V. Olmsted of the French depart ment. His views were even more rad ical than had been expected from the announcements of the banquet speech es, which caused a three days’ furore In the woman’s dormitory of Sage col lege. Professor Olmsted opposed the par ticipation of the girls in the class elec tions, urged their elimination from the management of such university publi cations as the Cornelllau and Class Book, declared that their participation in class day detracted from the dignity of that occasion and insisted that they have a class day and graduation cere monies of their own, which might be modeled upon those of other women’s colleges. Finally he expressed the hope that soon women would be debarred from the men’s classes and at least have separate instruction if not a sep arate faculty. His remarks were greet ed with enthusiastic applause. Arthur W. Dubois, president of the men’s association, followed President Olmsted with an address, in which he declared the vote of the women went to the highest bidder and was secured by deals with the women politicians of the various classes. He asserted that their participation in class politics was the great obstacle to the process of purification attempted this year and declared that the women forfeited their own dignity and self respect by such participation. He made an earnest plea to the class of 1908 to force the women to have a class book of their own and to publish a separate univer sity annual. He advocated amend ments to all the coming class consti tutions by which women should be de barred from any vote upon the men candidates. His speech was heartily applauded. Isaac Lande, well known as one of the most practical politicians in the senior class, made a bitter attack on the women students. He charged them with being the occasion of all the cor ruption in class politics and cited in stances from his' own experience to prove it. He asserted that their pres ence in the classroom was a check to free instruction and quoted members of the history and law faculties to show that women persisted in attend ing lectures from which they had been excused on grounds of delicacy, to the prejudice of an impartial discussion on vital questions of law and history. “The presence of the women in classes is detrimental to the men and degrading to the self respect of the women,’’ declared Lande. His senti ments were indorsed by Louis Agassiz Fuertes of the class of 1897. PHONE IN PLACE OF CLERKS. Grocery Company Will Supply Custom er* With Instruments Free. A grocery and market company in Mooseup, Conn., recently ordered fifty telephones to be put into their cus tomers’ houses at the firm’s expense in order to try this novel feature of the order system, and if it works out satis factorily the number of telephones will be considerably increased, says a spe cial dispatch from Central Village, Conn., to the New York World. The id^a is to do away with some of the clerks and teams in taking grocery and meat orders and gradually educate the customer to order direct from the store by phone. The telephone com pany says that it is the first experi ment of this nature in the country. Pspper Trees as Decorations. ' Miniature pepper trees that give quite a Japanese effect are a new fad and one that is decidedly unique, says the New York Mail. They are six or eight inches high, and the tiny branches extend in an umbrella shape at the top. The leaves are thick and a dark waxy green in color, while the blos soms are little pods, exact reproduc tions of the red and green peppers that may always be had at the markets. These little plants are effective, either singly or arranged in a group, in a tall handled basket, tied with ribbons In the new bronze shade. They are particularly suited to the beidermaier work, now so fashionable, with its stiff, quaint little pots of flowers and the touches of black and brown in con trast to the Dresden colorings. Find of Book Worth 110,000. Lying covered with dust for some 200 years on a shelf on an old house at Bedford City, Va., one of the rare folio editions of Shakespeare's works, dated 1685, has been unearthed by Ben La Bree of Louisville, Ky., says a special dispatch to the New York Herald. The book is valued at some $10,000, that being the figure which J. Pierpont Morgan is reported to have given*for a similar treasure. It is owned by Mrs. Rosa Burwell Todd, now of Owens boro, Ky., a granddaughter of William A. Burwell, in whose collection it was found at the old home place. Burwell was at one time private secretary to Thomas Jefferson. BABY’S LIFE OF LUXURY. Millionaire’s Tiny Daughter Spends $500 a Week at Atlantic City. Occupying one of the most expensive suits in the Traymore hotel and accom panied by a retinue of trained nurses and attendants, Miss Yvonne Gaurard, aged six years, of New York and Paris is one of the most interesting visitors at Atlantic City, says the Philadelphia Press. Little Miss Gaurard is conva lescing from a severe illness and ar rived at Atlantic City recently accom panied by a number of nurses and at tendants on a special car over the Pennsylvania railroad. Every morning Miss Gaurard invariably finds a cable message from her parents, who are In Paris, bidding her good morning and making inquiry as to her condition. Before breakfast the little girl has dic tated a reply through a stenographer, who is one of her attendants, and has cabled a reply to her father and moth er. At noon and also at night before retiring she sends other messages and receives as many from France. One of the expensive rooms which the tiny child of fortune occupies has been fitted up as a play room. Several thousand dollars would not pay for the many costly toys and novelties which the room holds. There are walking dolls, dolls that can talk, stuffed bears and dogs and monkeys that climb ropes and scale ladders and tiny man sions for the dolls and little Miss Gau rard to play at housekeeping. The little girl is anxious to see her little foster brother whom her parents recently adopted in Paris, for Yvonne is an only child and pines for the asso ciation of other children. It was to supply her yearning that the Gaurards have adopted the tiny foster brother. This little girl spends money lavish ly and is liberalMn distributing tips to the hotel servants. She is a general favorite with the guests and is pointed out as “the rich little girl who has the most expensive suit of apartments and the largest retinue of attendants of any child here.” It has been estimated that Miss Gau- rard’s expenses, including her hotel bill, amount to nearly $500 a week. Her father is one of the millionaires of New York. CAT’S EIGHTY FOOT LEAP. Admiral Togo Lands Safely and Whips His Feline Rojestveneky. Admiral Togo, an Angora cat. Jump ed seven stories the other day, vaulted a six foot fence and whipped his rival to a standstill, says the New York World. This is the tale told by his fond possessors and vouched for as gospel truth by many who rushed to Togo’s aid, expecting to attend his funeral. Togo makes his home with the family of Charles Littlefield In the Wellington apartments in New York. Miss Helen Littlefield is his special caretaker. Her uncle brought Togo over from Japau three years ago. By way of getting a reputation he swallowed paris green and lived to fight again. Miss Helen was playing with the ad miral on the roof of the apartment bouse when Togo peeped around an island, so to speak, and spied his Ro- Jestvensky, who was seated on a six foot fence eighty feet below. Togo sailed through the air much like a fly ing squirrel, alighted in the soft midst of a flower bed and then mounted the fence and put his enemy to flight Togo permitted himself to be carried upstairs and petted. Later Veterinari an Mulvery thumped Togo from head to foot and found nary a scratch. SHORT TALKS BY L. T. COOPER. . INTERNAL PARASITES. KICK. B If If MUCK. Cooper’s New Discovery has taught me many things. Not least of which is that parasites or tape worms as they are called are responsible for an immense amount of suffering. Thousands of these creatures have been brought to me by people who have taken the New Discov ery and I now know that an immense amount of sup posed stomach trouble is caused in reality by one of these parasites. A man or womaa may be afflicted in this manner for years and not realize the true cause of their suffering. When I first sold Cooper’s New Discovery I did not know that the medicine would remove this trouble. I have since found that 4t invariably does so. The following letter is a fair sample of the symptoms as experienced by an individual thus affected: # "I was always tired. My stomach bloated and the slightest exertion made me sick, weak'and dizzy. My appetite was variable and a good nights sleep was unknown to me. When I awoke in the mornings I had a bad taste in my mouth and a coated tongue. I heard of the wonderful benefits that were being derived from Cooper’s New Discovery, and decided to try it.” ‘‘The horrible tape worm, sixty feet long that had been sapping ray life away, passed from my system alive and squirming after I had taken three doses. Now I have a splendid appe tite, every trace of stomach trouble has disappeared and my digestion is good. I sleep well and am gaining iq strength every day.” Nick Emmer- ick, 1344 Louis Ave., Milwaukee, Wie. We are authorized agents for the Cooper medicines. Call and let aa tell you more about them.
