Arrangement Made for Payment of Scholars Fees from the IleKlnnliitf of the .Next Inlverslty Term. EDINBURGH, July 15.-The first meeting of the trustees of the Carnegie educational fund was held in Edinburgh today. Lord Elgin, who presided, read a letter from Mr. Carnegie announcing that he had signed the deed placing $10,000,000 at the disposal of the trustees. "I have arranged for the payment of scholars fees from the beginning of the next university' term," he said. "I believe the conditions of the gift insure a sufficient standard of merit, and I hope the honest pride by which my countrymen are distinguished will prevent claims from those who do not need assistance. To further mark my personal belief as to this matter, I have arranged that the trustees may receive funds from others to be administered along with my donation. I believe this to be a valuable clause, since my experience with young men indicates that men are glad of the opportunity later in life to repay advances thus received, although these are free gifts. 1 hope the trustees will gladly receive any such contributions and that this will foster the spirit of manly independence so dear to the Scot." It was intimated after the letter had been read that the transfer of bonds to provide the income of the trust had been made and that the first installment would be received In the autumn.

The Klein Journal prints a letter from United States Ambassador White to the editor of that paper In which Mr. White says he will go to the United States in September to visit his family. Whether he will remain in Berlin, he writes, depends on various considerations, particularly the status of certain questions between Germany and the United States which doubtless will occupy the Reichstag at its next session.

'CALAMITY JANE" A HEROINE. A "Westerner Tell of the Old Woninn'n Wonderful Career. Chicago Chronicle. "Calamity Jane," the heroine of wild borderland tales, whose cool daring and deadly aim made her a terror among the Indians and served writers of dime novels with lurid plots more fertile and exciting than anything their Imagination could invent, was discussed by a group of men in the lobby of the Grand Pacific Hotel yesterday. "The last time I saw Calamity," said a cattleman from Montana, "she was in a bad way; not expected to live more than two hours. But while the citizens were preparing to go to her aid she raised up from the dead, as it were, and left the place." "Where was that?" asked one of the listeners. "In the Red Lodge, Montana," answered the speaker. "Seems to me," said the other one of the trio, "l read some time .ago of Jane going to the poorhouse in Billings and that Buffalo Bill and other old-time borderland scouts who fought Indians beside her subscribed to her needs." "I remember about that," the Montanian said. "The report that Jane went to the poorfarm was a mistake. But she was hard up. all right, and. as you say, Buffalo Bill and other old-timers inquired into her condition and sent her money. We didn't, know how many friends the 'old girl' had until then or that there were so many 'old boys' still left above ground." "What gave her the name of 'Calamity Jane?' " asked one of the trio. "The Indians nicknamed her," answered the cattleman. "She was sure death on their trail. They feared her more than a whole company of soldiers. And her escapes were so many and of such a miraculous nature that the reds tinally came to believe her possessed of supernatural power and regarded her with superstitious awe." "Montana, I should think, would raise a monument to such a person," suggested one of the listeners. "By Jove, you're right!" exclaimed the Westerner with a considerable show of warmth and slapping his knee as though the thought was a good one. "That's a good idea." he repeated. "Capital! I'll have to tell the people at home when 1 return. There is no use In talking. Calamity Jane and those old-timers did more for blazing the pathway of civilization through the wilderness than all the combined forces that followed their lead." "What does Calamity Jane look like?" one of the men wanted to know. "Well, sir," returned the speaker, "I'll try and tell you how she appeared to me the last time I saw her in Red Lodge. I saw Sheriff Potter hurrying along the street that morning and asked: 'What'd up?' The new gambling law had Just rone into effect and I supposed he was having trouble probably in enforcing it. His answer, however, rather startled mo. " 'I heard.' said he. 'Calamity Jane is up there in Taff's saloon in a dying condition.' I having seen calamity at a distance several times. I decided tn en nlnnp nni get a nearer view. She was lying, half sitting, half reclining, upon two chairs in a small back room of the saloon. Her head dropped a little to one side and her hands hung loosely by her side, with her feet resting upon another chair. Her shoes and stockings were at her side. The snowy whiteness cf the skin contracting with the leathery tan of her face was rather startling in ?ftect. "There was no doubt about her being in a bad way. Both of her lower limbs and one foot were swollen twice their ordinary size. And her labored breathing seemed a hard struggle. Her eyes were closed, but occasionally her Urs moved, as thouh framing words without utterance. Hrr clothes were cheap, but neatly arranged. Colled in a knot and fastened with a long pin were black braids of hair, with scarcely a trace of gray s.iowlng on the surface. Moat of the facial lines curved with a downward sweep in such a manner as to give the face as a whole the expression of the hawk or eagle fearlessness and bold

TT 33Z daring. Even in such surroundings and with marks of dissipation clearly showing, there was something commanding about the expression. When yodng she must have been extremely good looking. No one, so far as I have heard, knows anything about her early history or her exact age. "After examining her the sheriff said he guessed he'd better gft the doctor. Upon teeing her the physician announced that she was likely to die inside of two hours. He didn't see much use in writing out a prescription, but did so more from force of habit than anything else. Jane was left to herself while we went outside to see what was to be done. When the mayor and other citizens heard about the affair a fund was quickly raised. "Charley Boylen, a lumberman, made the first donation and took occasion to remark that Calamity Jane never failed to aid friend or stranger who was in need and that she should not be denied anything so long as he could help it. That seemed to be the sentiment of all who knew her. "As soon as a good-sized fund was raised a committee went to Taff's place to see about Jane. But a great surprise awaited the members. Jane was gone. Incredible as it seemed, the woman whom the doctor declared could not live two hours had arisen and left the town. A small boy said he had seen Jane limping toward the Billings train. The shoe, which she could not get upon the swollen foot, was carried in her hand." "No wonder she was a terror to her enemies." said one of the interested listeners. "A woman with such a powerful will could do anything." The Concord nt Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash., July 13.-The United States gunboat Concord, Commander Harry Knox, which played such an important part under Commodore Dewey in the destruction of the Spanish fleet in Manila bay, arrived from the Philippines to-day, by way of Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Of the othcer.s in command of the vessel during the memorable sea t.ght but one, F. E. Schutce, paymaster's clerk, remains on the ship. Almost everybody remembers the celebrated advice of the London I:tnch "To those about to marry. Dont.n There is in that advice the expression of the feeling of many a mother who says, " I hope ray iiaugmet will never marry and suffer as I have." In ninety -eight cases in every hundred there's no need for this suffering. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures the womanly diseases which cause wifely misery. It dries enfeebling drains, heals infjammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It invigorates the womanly organism, tranquilues the nerves and gives the mother strength to give her children. Do not allow an unscrupulous elealer to sell you something in place of "Favorite Prescription," claimetl to be "just as good." There is nothing just as goexl for women as "Favorite Inscription."
