the Cap and Gown.
THEY FOUGHT HARD AGAIKST IT

OXE MALE GRADUATE 72 TEAKS OLD
rSFZClU. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
2fEv Yoek, June 6. This has been a
notable year in the history of the Univer
sity of the City of Xew York in two ways.
The authorities have admitted -women to
the law department and have recognized
pedagogy as a legitimate university course
of study. The commencement of the women
law students passed with nothing to jar its
beauty or harmony. But the women who
make up the graduating classes of he
school of pedagogy are not content to finish
their university career thus quietly. There
are two graduating classes in the school
one to whose members is awarded the de
gree of Doctor of Pedagogy and one whose
members get the degree of Master of Peda-
SK7-
In the first class there are 2 women and 12
men; iu the second chss 1 man and 11
women. Two of these women are colored,
one being a full-blooded negrcss, who is
about as clever a woman as there is in the
I . scnooi. jowue average age 01 uie ciass 01
doctors is ou years ana me women ao ineir
share of contributing toward this average.
Of the women of the class of masters many
are not so roung as they once were, and none
wears her Lair down her back.
Nothing Frisky About Them.
They are a sensible and staid lot. of
women, but with no great friskiness, which
is the ordinary characteristic of the girl
graduate. Yot, strange to say and terrible
to relate, a contention has arisen among
them, based for the most part en the ques
tion of looks. For half a century each and
cverr student graduating from the univer
sity has had to wear the flat-top Oxford cap
and the flowing black gown.
Y hen it came to the graduating women
Dr. ilcUractin, who Is a bcotchman ol the
ancient school, ordered that the women
should graduate in gowns and cap, also.
This was not an unprecedented order, as the
custom prevails in a score of women's col
leges in various parts of the country. Nor
did the majority of these women of the
school of pedagogy object. But there "were
about half a dozen who did object, with en
treaties that were almost tearful, while
there was one who set her foot down, as it
were, and swore by the honor of woman
hood mat she would wear no gown ana
would wear no cap.
Jib Cap and Gown for Them.
The wrangle was long and elaborate. The
dissenting women divided into two factions,
which agreed in only one point, to wit:
That the cap and gown should not be worn.
The first and stronger wing of the dissent
ers formulated their views after this fash
ion, as one of them said this evening: 'In
the first place, we have bought graduating
gowns. It does not come to a girl to
graduate every year, and we want to make
it a memorable occasion.' How, we paid
particular attention to the gowns, adorning
them with ribbons and laces and other fine
work, which set off our appearance and
showed those who saw the gowns that the
wearers were girls with good taste. All
this pains and beauty will be spoiled by the
long black gowns." "
. The other wing of the dissenters ap
proached the subject from a different stand
point They admit the force of some of the
above reasoning, while they deplore its
frivolous character. But they have reasons
of their own not at all frivolous. Said one.
of them: "I am a strone advocate of woman
as woman. I don't "believe in unsexing
myself.' And to wear a man's gown and a
man's hat on a public platform is a con
spicuous display of masculinity. It will
not only make men laugh at us as un
womanly, bnt it will make us ashamed of
ourselves for having unsexed ourselves. ."We
want to wear a woman's garments in public
and thus appear in womanly dignity."
They 1YU1 Be Worn.
-ao these arguments the authorities nive
answers which they deem good and suffi
cient They say that there are some of the
graduates who have 'plenty of money and
can bur elegant gowns of wjiite and lace
and ribbons for that purpose, while there
are others who could only afford the simplest
and cheapest gowns. As lor the caps, the
authorities say that if a bang cannot be worn
with the cap, then the ladies will have to
display the lofty marble of their brows and
discard the trumpery of curls and waves.
They further go into the esthetic features
of the matter and'suggest.that- there may be
connetish nudes at which cans may be laced'
upon the head, and that the cap may be.
maue to ennance Deauty uuu muo puunness
of features.
The authorities are determined and the
gowns will.be worn. In fact, the rebellious
Graduates have come into line, and have or
ered their caps and gowns, and the making,
of them is under way. In the class of doc
tors is a principal of 'a Brooklyn school.
He was 68 years old when he entered the
school, and he is now 72, the oldest person
ever graduated from a university in this,
country. . .

Teacher Johnnie, you must remain in the school room during the
noon recess and finish the composition that I haye waited three days for.
Johnnie (considerably perturbed) I
have tried hard to write the composi
tion, but cannot find anything about the
Liberty Bell. I have looked in all the
books we have at home, -and asked pa
and ma to tell me something about it,
but they don t remember.
Teacher Oscar Green and Willie
Stowe have their compositions finished..
Johnnie Yes, their fathers bought
the Encyclopedia Brittanica, paid
nearly two hundred dollars for it, and
they find everything in it. Pa says he
cannot afford to pay so much' for books.
Teacher Why, my child, your
father can buy the Encyclopedia
Brittanica complete in 30 volumes
from The Henry G. Allen Co., 68
Sixth Avenue, for 45. '
Johnnie Well, I shall take my pa to see it, and if it is the real Brit-
tanica, I am sure he will buy it for me. Then-1 will show Oscar Green
and Willie Stowe who is the smartest boy in our class.

An honest tak that speeds best being

we heard ofthe embarrassment of a
large New fYork importing house of
Scotch CJeviots. At the time the
house in Question carrietl an immense
stock of Imported Piece Goods, which
it was compelled to convert into cash
to meftt matured obligations. We
boughtr 2,500 yards (double width)
of choicest medium' and light colored
Scotch Cheviots, valued at $2 50,- for
only Si 10 per yard. 375 yards of
this purchase were placed in our Mer
chant Tailoring Department for cus
tomfwork; the balance (2,125 yards)
wepad made up in New York City,
ana the result is 670 of as fine and fash
ionable Scotch Cheviot Suits as were
ever shown in Pittsburg, and, which,
weshall offer during the next 3 days at

Take our advice, and don't be slow in
availing yourselves of this most ex
traordinary and remarkable offering.
Never in the historyof our house have
we been fortunate enough to present
to you a similar chance. The suits
are cut in latest sack and frock styles, ,
and they fit like a glove. The pat
terns are novel plaids, stylish checks,
new mixtures and handsome plain col
orings, mostly light shades ' of beauji
ful designs, such as only the "Land
of the Thistle" can weave. We doubt
whether ready-made suits have ever
been shown in materials so fine.
There certainly is no merchant tailor
in either city who will take an order
for a suit from these goods for less
than 32 or 35. Owing to the cir
cumstances under which we bought
the goods,however,we can and hereby
do offer them during the next three
