WHAT COLLEGE GIRLS READ.
Ibsen , Shaw and Maeterlinck Have
Few Admirers at Wellesley.
WolloHle.y , MUSH. . Feb. 7. Some
Wellesley students , who question the
Htitlunicnttt commonly heard that
every other college girl reads Maeter
linck , Klmw and llmeii , and that most
of the others are so busy that they
never get a chance to read , have taken
thn pains to Interview 45(1 ( Wellesley
undergraduates , and have Issued a re
port.
port.The
The dally reading of the newspaper ,
at least In a superficial way , was found
to exist. Few girls admitted that they
ii-ud the editorials. Of the 450 girls
interviewed , 250 read the weeklies
with some thoroughness. Every girl
reads some monthly magazine , and
that mostly for the fiction. About 5
per cent of the students read some
religious magazine thoroughly.
As to novel reading , one-fifth of the
450 still read Dickens , Scott , Thack
eray and Jane Austen. About ono half
of them confessed to the reading of
the light , modern novel.
The much discussed Maeterlinck ,
Ibsen and Shaw were found to he read
by only thirty-two out of the 450. Mer
edith , Stevenson , Kipling and Mrs.
Wharton nro much more popular.
THIS BOY A BIG SPENDER.
A Yearly Income of $ C,500 Declared
a Necessity.
New York , Feb. 7. Robert A. Cham
bers , a 15-year-old orphan , with an
Income of $35,700 a year , has made ap
plication to Justice Hendrick in the
supreme court for an allowance of
? ti,500 annually. The application was
mibmlttcd through Mortimer M. Sing
er , a maternal uncle.
Young Chambers attends the Berke
ley school and live with his aunt , Mrs.
Daniel M. Brady , at 33 West Seventy-
sixth street. Both his parents died In
1909 , leaving him heir to both their es
tates. The court was informed that
part of the proposed allowance would
be to maintain n 2-horse brougham ,
which had been the property of his
parents for the boy's use.
Mrs. Hunt Dies at Spencer.
Mrs. Hunt died yesterday at her
home five miles south of Spencer at
the ago of 85 years. The family had
lived on the same farm south of the
Niobrnra river nearly forty years.
During half of that period this side
of the river was occupied by the In
dians. Mrs. Hunt became entirely
blind fifteen years ago , but in the last
three months had regained the power
51 of vision sufficient to recognize her
children. Her husband survives her
at the ago of 87.
BOYCOTT LOSES GROUND.
Meat Prices Are Almost as High as
They Ever Were.
Kansas City , Feb. 7. If market con
ditions can be taken as a criterion ,
the boycott against meats Is losing
ground. In the last two days the live
stock market In all divisions has near
ly regained the loss of the preceding
ten days , and prices arc higher than
they were a week a ago.
New Dakota Railway ?
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Feb. 5. The curi
osity of the farmers living in the
southeastern portion of Walworth
county has been aroused by the pres
ence in that vicinity of about a score
of surveyors and engineers , who as
near as can bo ascertained are run
ning a line from Tolstoy to Mobridge
the latter place being the point where
the coast extension of the Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway com
pany crosses the Missouri river. Resi
dents of Walworth county profess to
believe that the surveyors are in the
employ of the Minneapolis & St. Louis
railway company , and that the com
pany plans on extending a line from
Tolstoy to Mobridge , where a cross
ing of the Missouri river will be made
for the line which It is supposed the
company plans on extending to the
new region In the northwestern part
of South Dakota. '
Bonesteel Division Point.
Bonesteel. S. D. , Fob. 4. Special to
The News ; For some time the news
has been coming to Bonesteel from
various sources that Anoka and Her
rick were each making an effort to - secure
cure the division when the roud was
extended from Dallas.
While Bonesteel had considered the
WJ
matter settled some two years ago
and nothing really new had trans
pired since , It was rather a surprise
when last Monday It came to the no
tlco of The News correspondent that
A. Zorba of Herrick had exhibited a
letter purporting to be from North
western headquarters , saying thej
were in receipt of Herrlck's offer ol
forty acres of land and $2,000 contin
gent on the locating of the division
at Herrick , and that when the time
came to decide on the question of a
permanent division they would be re
mombered.
The correspondent thinking posslblj
there might be something in these re
ports decided to get at the facts if
possible. Calling on Mayor Lintlcum
and a few other representative bust
ness men the matter was dtscussei
and it was decided to wire D. W
Forbes who was then In Omaha , to
see the railway officials and find oui
what was expected of Bonestee
should the devlslon bo located in Bone
steel. Mr. Lintlcum sent the message
to Mr. Forbes , who immediately com
piled with the request and Interviewed
Mr. Walters who stated emphatlcall )
that the division was located In Bone
steel permanently and that no pro
posal to remove It either to Herrick
or Anoka would bo entertained. Thus
the question of the division was speed
lly and satisfactorily settled.

Episcopalians Eligible.
Omaha , Feb. 5. Editor News : In
our paper I noticed that the Trinity
ector at Norfolk says that the mem-
iers of the Episcopal church are do-
jarred from serving as trustees of the
Y. M. C. A.
This Is absolutely untrue , for on
lenrly every association board In the
state of Nebraska , and on the state
ommlttee we have members of this
church acting In this capacity. Be-
ildos this , the trustees holding prop-
rty do not have to be church mem-
) ers , hut the directors having charge
of the work must he.
Sincerely yours ,
J. P. Bailey ,
State Secretary Y. M. C. A. of
Nebraska.

PARIS INVITES A DANCER.
For Once the French Capital Admlti
It Is Curious.
Paris , Feb. 7. Now that Lady Con
stance Stewart-Richardson has made
ier debut as a professional dancer
n the Palace theater In London and
ippeurs likely to achieve success , Par-
H Is r.iixIotiH to see her. Negotiations
ire about to start to secure her for
in engagement at one of the theaters
ieie next spring.
Of course Paris can hardiy learn
inythlng about daring costumes from
.ady Constance. And It Is not the at-
ructions of "classical" dancing nor
vet the novelty of seeing an Anglo-
Saxon perform that prompts It to In
vite the Englishwoman to Paris. Isa-
lora Duncan has appeared here sev
eral times to good audiences , But
'arislans are anxious to see a real ,
Ive titled woman dance on the stage ,
enough of the spirit of the royalists
remains In the French people for that.
Reports from London , where Lady
Constance began her engagement Mon
day night , are to the effect that she
scored a hit , and that her turn Is an
irtlHtlc IIH well as a financial success.
There never has been a question about
the money results. The Palace was
bought up for several nights ahead as
early as the latter part of last week.
DIDN'T KNOW OWN WIFE.
Omaha Man is Getting Acquainted
With Family.
Omaha , Feb. 8. Otto Raschke. a
. ' " year-old business man of Omaha ,
ins suddenly reverted to the condition
of a little child and Is now busily en-
; aged in learning his A B Cs and get
ting acquainted with his own wife and
children. It took him a week to learn
to walk and two weeks to learn simple
words of one syllable , but ho has not
yet mastered the art of writing his
own name. In fact , he had to learn
what his name was before he could
make an attempt to learn to spell It.
Thirty days ago Raschke was a keen ,
alert business man with all the quali
fications the term implies. The car
upon which he was riding gave a lurch.
His head struck an iron brace , ren
dering him unconscious. When he re
covered , his mind was blank. . It was
necessary that he be introduced to
Ills own wife and children ; he had to
: isk the Identity of his own father and
even to get someone to tell him his
own name. All day he sits at a win
dow of his home and looks out at the
wonderful things which pass the house
and which his little hey tells him are
horses , dogs , wagons and street cars.
At times the woman whom they tell
him is his wife assists him at studying
queerly curved lines which she calls
"A B C. " And he learns quickly , too ,
never having to be told the same thing
twice.
One day early in January Raschke
went to Sioux City on a business trip.
Returning , when the train stopped at
Bancroft , Neb. , he swung off for a
breath of fresh air. As the train start
ed , Raschke stepped aboard. Before
he got his balance the train lurched
and his head struck a brass rod. He
fell from the platform on to the frozen
ground and was picked up unconscious
for twenty-four hours. Papers In his
pocket disclosed his identity and ad
dress and he was brought to a hospital
In Omaha. When he recovered con
sciousness his mind was a complete
blank. Gradually the mists cleared ,
and within a week he was a keen ,
alert man again , with abolutely no
knowledge of anything.
LOVE BROKE UP A CLUB.
Brooklyn Bachelor Girls Held Out
Against Winning Man for Years.
New York , Feb. 8. Poor old Girls'
Bachelor club of Brooklyn. Only sev
en years old and doomed already.
Deep down in her heart every one of
the twelve members knows that the
days of the club are numbered.
Several incontrovertible reasons
point to the club's dissolution. First ,
two members have announced their
engagements ; second , it is known that
more will do likewise in the near fu
ture ; third , the rest of the girls can't
keep up previous records of linen ,
lingerie and trousseau showers for the
whole stampede at once.
Seven years ago twelve girls formed
the club. They all were members of
fashionable preparatory schools then ,
and they thought they could be bach
elor girls. Today every one of these
young women is courted by a line of
admirers , and the two who have sur
rendered are happy In their choice.
The girls constitute a factor In the
younger society set of Brooklyn.
ANNA HELD SUED IN PARIS.
A Garage Proprietor Was Obdurate
About a Bill.
Paris , Feb. 8. Anna Hold's 40-horse
power motor car Is a subject of litiga
tion. The singer's husband , Florence
Ziegfeld , was represented In the sixth
chamber of the tribunal this week
when a suit brought by a garage pro
prietor against him came up for hear
ing. A postponement was ordered.
The garage proprietor seeks to col
lect $441.00 , which he alleges is due
him for the payment of repairs made
on the car last summer when Anna
Held and her husband were In Paris.
When the bill was presented to them
they offered to pay ? 300 , but insisted
that the amount claimed was exorbit
ant.
ant.It
It Is reported that an Interesting
scone was enacted at the garage when
the Zlegfelds drove there one day.
To emphasize his demand the proprie
tor waved his arms frantically and
Anna's brown eyes flashed In anger.
There was an exciting exchange of
emphatic French expressions until the
tinger and her husband drove away
refusing to be moved by the motor
lealer's threats to sue. The motor re-
'jalns In Paris , but In another garage.

Stockmen to Raise Fish.
Mlnatare , Neb. , Feb. 8. Two Ne-
jraska farmers , disgusted with the
small profits of feeding cattle , are ar-j
'anglng ' to fatten fish Instead of steers
uid the ponds and irrigations ditches'
of the western part of the state are
to be stocked with food varieties.
Frank Young and Eric Johnson of
.his place have just returned from
South Omaha , where they sold cattle
they have been feeding GO-cent corn.
The margin of profit was so small that
they failed to buy several carloads of
'eeders to fatten as they Intended , hut
nstead arranged with Fish Commis
sioner O'Brien to send them all the
Ish to which they are entitled ac
cording to the size of their ponds.
They will obtain other fish In the east
is soon as the ponds and ditches are
ipen ,
"We have lots of ditches and ponds
in Scotts Bluffs. " Mr. Young said , "and
ill they are used for is to carry water.
Pish would thrive in these streams and
he big irrigation ditches. Under the
law the water users would not dare
allow the Hah to go through the gates
uul If once stocked the ponds and
lltches will teem with good water
food.
"It Is a fact that wo are going Into
the fish business In western Nebraska ,
where there is always a good market
for fresh fish. "
Mr. Young formerly owned a big fish
pond at Seward , Neb. , and made a
iroflt from It. Now he is going into
: he business in western Nebraska ,
where the water is pure and cold. The
irrigation ditches make ponds between
the hills and are themselves adapted
to fish culture. Bass , pickeral , pike
and perch are to be used and some
trout will be put into the clearer
ponds and ditches , arangements having
been made to get these from Bozeuinn ,
Mont. , and Leadville , Colo. , where the
government has hatcheries.
BAD NATIONAL LEAGUERS.
One Hundred and Nineteen Players
Banished From the Field in 1909.
New York , Feb. 8. More National
league players were ordered from the
baseball field last year and later t s-
pended than in several years past.
Whether due to rowdyism * or more
stringent application of the rules by
umpires , 11JI men were banished from
the field and later eighteen of them
were suspended by Presidents Heyd-
ler and Pulllam.
In 1908 the arbitrators ordered nine
ty-four players to the club houses ,
and , in 1907 , 112. The late Harry Pul
llam suspended sixteen players In 1908 ,
and seventeen in 1907.
The Pittsburg team , which won the
pennant , had the best behaved set of
men. Only seven of Its players were
banished and none was suspended.
There was a great improvement in the
deportment of the New York players ,
only seventeen of them being sent
from the field and none of them be-
ng disciplined by the National league's
president.
Boston , Cincinnati and Philadelphia
each had fifteen men removed , Brook
lyn and St. Louis each seventeen and
Chicago eighteen. Of the eighteen
players suspended , Chicago had two ,
Philadelphia three , Brooklyn and St.
Louis each four and Cincinnati five.
The players suspended were Bresna-
ban of St. Louis , four times ; Griffith
of Cincinnati and Lennox of Brooklyn
each three times ; Evers of Chicago
and Glcason of Philadelphia , each
twice , and Burch of Brooklyn , Roth
and Sescher of Cincinnati and Knabe
of Philadelphia , each once.
According to figures compiled by a
local statistician , the National league
players paid $2SH Into the treasury
of the league for misbehavior. Of this
amount , Chicago players contributed
? 135 ! , Philadelphia $125 and Cincinnati
$25. Those fined were Chance , Evers ,
Tinker and Stanley of Chicago ; Dool-
an , Mo ran and Knabe of Philadelphia ,
and Roth of Cincinnati.

tion as to whether a member of the
Episcopal church was debarred or not.
Thus far 1 have not received from
Mr. Bailey nor any one else any information
mation as to what took place at Fair-
bury.
But I now make the assertion , and
give my authority as Mr. Bailey , state
secretary of the Y. M. C. A. , that mem
bers of certain churches are debarred
from serving as directors in the asso
ciation.
That members in good standing of
any religious body , or that a man of
high social standing and moral integ
rity , even though he belonged to no
church , should be disqualified from
serving as a director in an association
that claims to be the most liberal of
Christian institutions , and that extends
its work beyond religions , and into
social and physical culture , and that
so willingly and gladly receives and
accepts the financial aid of the general
public is not easily understood.
Truly yours ,
John C. S. Weills.
FOUND A PIRATE'S GOLD ?
A Cave in New Jersey May Have Been
Captain Kldd's.
Somers Point , N. J. , Feb. 8. Part of
Captain Kldd's buried treasure Is be
lieved to have been found and carried
off by persons who worked in the
heavy storm of last Saturday night In
a cave on the property of Judge E.N
HIgble on the edge of this city. This
cave , signs of the digging and marks
of what Is believed to have been n
treasure chest , were discovered late
yesterday.
Although the cave is only a few
hundred yards from the residence of
Judge Higbie , no members of his fam
ily heard the treasure seekers at work.
The uncovered cave , which was vis
ited by hundreds yesterday and today ,
was bricked up with walls more than
two feet thick. The top is covered
with slabs of red sandstone of a qual
ity unknown in this neighborhood.
The bricks are similar to those
brought here from England In colonial
days.v
So far as can be learned from the
examination made by Mayor John
Campbell , the cave is at least 150
years old. Traces left by the visitors
showed they uncovered what Is sup
posed to have been a chest about six
feet long and two feet wide. The
chest had been dragged to a wagon ,
whose wheel marks were plainly visi
ble , but trace of the vehicle was lost
on the main road leading to Pleasant-
ville.
ville.The
The cave lies in direct line with an
aged cedar tree and a stump of anoth
er tree , which are believed to have
been the marks by which the strang
ers found the spot.
Captain Mark Doughty , ono of the
oldest residents of the resort , believes
the cave held valuable belonging to
people living on Somers Point and
surrounding country in the revolu
tion.
GREAT SALT LAKt GROWING.
More Water There Now Than White
Men Ever Saw Before.
Salt Lake City , Fob. 8. Word has
been received from Ogden that the
Great Salt Lake , which was said six
years ago to he disappearing , Is dashIng -
Ing over the western end of the South
ern Pacific Lucin and
cut-off threaten
ing the trains.
The hike Is higher now than at any
time within the memory of white
men. The fact that the west end of
the cut-off is six feet lower than the
rest of the causeway is the chief dan
ger point. If the lake continues to rise
It will be necessary to elevate most
of the piling and , in the meantime , to
send trains around by the old promon
tory route.
When the Lucin cut-off was con
structed the track was about twenty
feet above the water level.
Scientists say that the lake rises
and recedes In cycles and that the re
cession will soon begin.

Named by the Mayor.
riileago , Keb. S. Vice In all HH varl
i-olori'il aspects , and tlu > nocliil i > vll In
particular , In Chicago IH to be placed
under the glare of the calcium light of
Investigation In a supreme effort to
curlt It.
The action COIUCH as a climax to a
series of crusades and slumming trips ,
the Ilrst of which was led by GIpHy
Smith , the evangelist , and followed up
by W. C. T. II. and Y. W. C. A. organi
zations and Huvurnl denominational
churches. In the last month Mayor
Busso has been given a series of reso
lutions calling attention to the con
dition of viceIn the city , but these
have been of the Indefinite aort.
To bring about united efforts ho
suggested a ina.su meeting of all of the
ministers In the city to devise a defi
nite plan of action. This meeting waw
held Monday , and resolutions were
adopted asking the appointment of a
commission to study vice conditions
gent-rally in the city , with u view to
regulating the so-called " bad lands"
and levee areas. These resolutionw
were presented by the committee yes
terday to the mayor.
It is the Intention of the mayor to
name fifteen or twenty persons on the
board to he composed of business men ,
sociologists , lawyers and ministers. It
is possible that no women will bo in
cluded. It was pointed out to the
mayor that persons with their "mind
already made up" were not desired on
the commission. They did not Insist
that any clergymen be named.
The mayor naked the delegation to
select a list of fifteen names for him
and to submit them next Monday. In
the meantime It is expected that the
mayor will ask the advice of others
as to the personality of such a com
mission and will include selections
from both lists.
