Miss Kaminski of the department of Greek was unable to meet her classes again yesterday. Miss Kaminski has-been very unfortunate in this respect during the year; her mother's sickness, her grandmother's death and her own present illness have interfered with her work. Western Debate Wednesday. Next Wednesday night the girls debating team of Western Seminary THE BIRTHDAY OF GEO. WASHINGTON TO BE OBSERVED AT EARLHAM BY A FRESHMAN-SOPHO MORE SCRAP. HUTT0I1 & TRESTER LEADERS In the Battle Which Promises To Be Hard Fought Co-Eds May Take a Hand. On February 22, Washington's birthday, broken rioses and cracked heads will be the order of the day at Earlham, and the Sophomore and Freshman, who does not wear such, or similar tokens of valiant service, will be looked down upon" by his fellow classmen. This is the day set apart for the annual 4 Sophomore and Freshman class scrap, and both classes are confident of bearing off its opponent's flag from the old sycamore which stands in front of Earlham hall. This tree has borne witness to many a! fierce scrap , between the ' ' Sophs ' ' and Freshies, and this year promises to be no exception. Never in the history of the institution has the feeling between the two rivals been so noticeable as this year. Early in the fall term the two clas-' ses began to make arrangements for j the coming scrap. The Freshmen, ! soon- after electing officers, wore their colors to breakfast, but when they! arrived the Sophomores were wear- J ing the Freshmen colors, with a ' dainty bunch of crepe over them. The "Freshies" were very indig nant and challenged the "Sophs" to combat after breakfast was over. The two classes then proceeded to mix up, and when the battel ended, the "Freshies" were proclaimed victors. This little affair, coupled with the "joshings" of fellow students, only tended to arouse the ire of the "sophs" and they say they will not be balked by the Freshmen on Washington's birthday. Sidney Ilutto.n, of Baltimore, Md., who was "ducked" some time ago by fellow, students, will lead the 'OS class in the'eomiug battle, while Ross Trester of Amo, Ind., will lead j the Freshmen forces. The boys will not be the only con testants, as the girls in the dormito-, ry are also laying their plans, and no doubt there will be a general hair . pulling on the West Side, the-dayJoT; the scrap. r - ' ' ........

will meet Earlham in debate on the question, Resolved, That the Chinese should be allowed to come to this country on the same conditions as other foreigners." : Probably greater interest will be taken in this one debate than any other, which is to be held at Earlham, owing to the fact that there are many old Western graduates in Richmond. There is some talk among these of organizing a rooting corps to cheer on the representatives of their Alma Mater. PROF. DENNIS TO ENTERTAIN. The third and fourth year German classes of Earlham will be entertained tonight at the home of Prof. Dennis on West Main street. Several papers on the life and writings of Goethe, the great German writer, will be read by Prof. Charles and members of the different classes. GIRLS SHOW LOYALTY. The girls of Earlham have shown their loyalty to the Varsity debating team furnishing a room in Earlham Hall, in which the men can prepare their material for the coming debate with Albion College. The room is furnished in genuine college, style, and many of the other men in school envy the good luck of their fellows. ONE SIDED GAME THE FEATURES LAST NIGHT. In City Basket Ball League T A. P. and High School Winners. The T. A. P. basket ball team in the City League last evening completely snowed under the Richmond Business College team in a one-sided game. The score was 49 to 6 and for the greater part of the game it looked as if the R. B. C. team would be defeated without having gained a point. Kauffman of the losing team, played a star game at center. Wilson Decker, Genn, Mendenhall and Compton were the players on the T. A. P. team and Brehm, Anderson, Kauffman, Albright, and Meyers composed the R P. C. team. Another one-sided game was played in the City League last night, in which the High School team defeated the newly organized Models by the score of 26 to 7.

WANT DAINTIES

FROM DIXIE IM SOUTHERNERS IN NEW YORK DO NOT LIKE NORTHERN COOKERY. IMPORT MUCH OF THEIR FOOD One Grocer In Virginia Acts as Purveyor for Several Families in the East. New York, February 7. No ; true Southerner could ever be convinced that the fine, sweetish yellow meal of the North, whether it be ground between stones in an old windmill or made in accordance with the most modern methods, could ever rival the white cornmeal of the South. That kind of meal can't be bought in New York shops. As Southerners are somewhat dependent on cornbread, they take measures to provide themselves with it after they have discovered how different meal of the North is, when put to the exacting test of the pone or the hoecake. Most of them write to their friends at home. One grocer in a Virginia town has become known as a purveyor of a certain kind of Southern delicacy that no other town provides so well. So he has come to have a large clientele of Southern customers who have immigrated to the North, but turn to him for the dainties for which their palates long. He sends hams to his customers, but has made it a condition now that they must accept his product cooked. He no longer cares to send his hams raw. In the North there are few cooks that take pride in turning out a ham as it should be, he says. Complaints began to reach him. The quality of the hams was not as it had been they said. The proprietor of this Virginia grocery store knew better. So he decided to sell his hams in the future only after they had been cooked under his own direction. There are other Southern delicacies in this . grocery besides real cornmeal and hams. Hominy of the kind called samp in New York ' is quite a different thing from the article made. here. . Southerners like.it made into a rather thin, flat cake after it has once been boiled, and then fried. Only the Southern hominy will cook in this way. New York samp never gets firm enough to fry in such a cake. That is one of the striking differences between the genuine article and the Northern substitute. Perhaps none of these dishes appeals more to the Southern taste than the dried Potomac herring. These little fish have a great many bones that can not be denied. But their salted flesh is very delicate, and broiled for breakfast they are deliciously savory and agreeable. But their roe is the best part of them. It makes a delicious hors deoeuvre without the rest of the fish, and is as appetizing as caviar. It is, moreover, a delicious accompaniment to the fish. These herring are unknown in in the New York market, and the supply is so small that they , are to be had in only a few places in Virginia. HIGH SCHOOL HEWS Fire at Miss Stahl's Home. The fire Tuesday . afternoon at South Tenth and A strets, burned the residence of Miss Stahl, who teaches German at high school. Arranging Program. Principjal D. R. Ellabarger, of high school, is arranging the pro gram for next term, which begins Monday, February 11. To Purchase Equipment.

" BROKE COMPACT (Continued from Page 1.) examination. He showed up early at the office next morning and wanted to get "started in" at once. His haggard face showed the result pf a night of tearful anxiety and he seemed anxious to have it aft done and over. ( ' While talking with the recruiting officer, the door, suddenly burst open and a young woman fairly ran in and threw herself upon the bosom of the prospective army man. "I just couldn 't," she , said, , laughing and crying at the Same time, "because I don't care, for Sam. : anyway. You come right hack with me " The army was forgotten in the strangle hold with which he clutched the woman of his heart and murmuring a few words about deciding he . would "wait a while," the young man left with his happy bride-to-be while Recruiting Sergeant Smith looked on with approval. "Another case where two hearts were saved just in the nick of time," were his words. INTEREST DYING OUT In Regard to the Incorporation of Town of Economy.

NEW SIDINGS TO BEiCOMPLETED IN A SHORT TDME ON RICHMOND DIVISION OF THE PANHANDLE. HEAVY TRAFFIC RESPONSIBLE For Change Being Made Steam - Shoyels Axe at Work and Road Is Being Improved. ' Extensive improvements are now under way on the Richmond Division of the Pennsylvania which will, at their completion be ,of great benefit to both freight and passenger traffic. For years the passing sidings have been too small and too far apart. Since the first of the year, however hundreds of men have been at work and sidings have been completed or are being worked on now, which will make better time possible and less trouble to the trainmen. Heretofore, at many places along the line, freight trains would be held at one siding for a long length of time, waiting for passenger trains. The next siding could not be reached before the passenger was due and a great deal of time was lost in useless waiting. Sometimes two freight trains would.be on one siding at a time and when the passenger train came considerable switching of cars Was necessary before the trains could pass as the sidings were too small- This difficulty will all be eliminated when the work is completed and a better schedule may be expected between Chicago and Cincinri,ati and way stations. S At , several places, steam shovels are working "on grades along the division the Toad bed isto be extt'nsiyely improved. The heavy traffic has justified the large expenditures of rmpney for the improvement. ; FREIGHT TRAFFIC Has Fallen Off on Panhandle During Past Week Cold Responsible. Freight traffic has fallen off during the past week but there is still enough business to keep all the motive power of railroads in operation. Grain shipments are lighter than a month ago.

STILL SEARCH FOR PIRATES' GOLD WILLIAM SIMMONS SPENDS: SPARE TIME IN LOOKING FOR TREASURE. Oil NARRAGAIiSETT BAY, R. I. Said To Be Enough Gold On Shores .-.-...."I of Bay to Pnt Standard Oil ...... '! To Shame. I Providence, R. ( I., Feb. 7.-nWil-liam Simmons," of Riverside, six miles below this city, on .Narragansett Bay, has. spent much of his spare time in the last month digging for buried treasure in a spot revealed to him in a dream. Pirates' gold is what he hopes to find. Thus far the treasure has not been uncovered.' In his dream Simmons saw three tall trees in a row near a cove running back from the bay. The gold was buried twelve feet deep midway! between the first and the second tree,! counting from the shore side, andP, was in a chest bound with strong iron straps. Psychologist may decide for themselves whether Simmons 's dream was inspired by the fact that he knew of three trees situated a he. saw them when asleep. They are on the edge of Bullock's Cove and are the only butternut trees in the vicinity. Simmons enlisted the aid of two

friends in his digging. After theyj had made a hole eight feet deep they struck water, below which they in-' vested as well as they could with a steel rod, but they haven't struck the treasure chest. , . , That there is precious metal enough distributed along the, shores of Narragansett Bay and the neighboring main to put the Standard Oil Company to the blush, is the firm be-; lief of every true Rhode Islander. The belief is based on the fact that in the last quarter of the seventeenth century, Rhode Island vied with New York as a refuge and outfitting place.. for piratees. j Bold Captain Avery once, landed on Rhode Island Soil seeking a safe repository for his plunder. He is the pirate who was said to have married . ' the Great Mogul 's daughter and had a play written about him. and is said to have died of starvation. That Avery did capture a quantity of treasure there is no question, and

two Rhode Islanders served m a piratical fleet he commanded. These were William Mayes and Thomas Tew. Another sea robber of Rhode Island origin was John Bankes. Harry Jones of Indianapolis was in the city Wednesday on business.
