Though somewhat fagged and dusty the soldier boys all aver that they had one of the most delightful —if anytbing can be called de- lightful in a soldier’s life—camps In years, and they really appeared in a humor to justily that belief. All the Bellefonte soldiers got along without a mishap, the only cause for regret being the loss ‘of a quite valuable horse by George A. Beezer, who farnished the mounts for the officers of the Fifth. The animal died on Tuesday as the result of sickness contracted in ship- ping, it is claimed. While in camp the members of company B elected Philip F. Garbrick captain, in place of H. 8. Taylor, resigned to accept the lientenant coloneloy of the regiment; Samuel D. Gettig first lieutenant, and Richard Taylor second lientepant. The new regime of officers will no doubt keep Company B up to its present high standing in efficiency. There has recently been issued by the alumnae of State College, a bulletin of in- formation on the Department for Women. It is safe to say that the majority of the people in this State do not know that wo- men are admitted to the college, and it is because of the lack of knowledge concern- ing this Department that the bulletin has been issued. There is no other state uni- versity that has 20 meagre 8 representation of women, and it is surely not to the cred- it of a State that claims 3,097,574 women in ber population. University of Wiscon- gin bas enrolled 2101 men, 709 women ; University of Indiana 848 men, 437 wo- men ; University of Ohio, 1480 men, 320 women ; Pennsylvania State College has 800 men, 6 women. While there are many good colleges for women in Pennsylvania there is pot one that offers such excellent opportunities at so moderate a cost. It is easily possible for a young woman to go through State College at an annual expense of $200, and when this sum is compared with the amount required to go through Bryn Mawr, Smith and others of the first class colleges, with which the standard at State is equal, it is readily seen what a chance the young women of Pennsylvania allow to go by them unappreciated. Young women are admitted to all classes in all cours- es on the same terms as young men and there is a wide range of election by courses. State's greatest reputation has come through her technical schools but the other conrses are equally good, aud a young woman can get shere almost anything she could desire to fit her for a professional or business career —music, drawing, literature, languages, pedagogy, euthenies or domestic science, landscape gardening avd short courses of three months in agriculture and dairying. If farmer's wives aud daogbters iu otber States find such help from the short winter courses in their state universities, why do pot our women avail themselves of the same help from our State College? The creamery business is coming to be one of the best paying industries in the State and many men are sent out annually liom State College to good positions all over the country. Only two or three women in this big agricuitural State have cared to avail thetuselves of the very fine laboratory courses offered them FREE every winter at State College. In filty sears there have been thirty women graduated from State College. It is to be hoped that another fifty may see the women of Pennsylvania aroused and appreciative as those in other States, to crowd their state university to overflow. ing. -en- A Serious Loss.—Brigadier Geueral Evan Miles, of the United States army, whose home was destroyed by the earth- quake iu Sau Francisco, last April, in a re- cent letter from Colville, Washington, to his relatives in Bellefonte, states that be had suffered an irreparabie loss at the time of the earthquake in the destruction by fire publication in the near future, which ¢m- braced his personal observations of the wild Indians in early days, their babits, cus. toms, legends, derivation of Indian nines and the causes of Indian wars.

The case was submitted with- out argument, and the jury took but one ballot. The jury was out but a few minutes.

She drove at ence to her home on Riversife avenue where she says she will comtinue to reside. No evidence was submitted by the defense and there was no argument. The question of alimony was not in- troduced.

We were married on December 1, 1883, at Pittsburg, Pa, and lived together until May 1, 1905. At that time my husband deserted me and went to New York. I followed him and held a con- versation with him at the Hotel Tor raine. It was there that he told me that he had decided to live apart. He said that it was impossible for us to live happily together, and that I would never see him again. He stated that he intended going to Europe for sev- eral months, There was no scene. | talked with him about the matter, and urged him to again resume his place in our home, but he refused.

Boston, Mass., July 31.—A savage attack by a whale upon a fisherman's dory was observed by the crew of the fishing schooner Thomas S. Gorton, of Gloucester, while coming in from the Georges.
