T College Education For Girls.
■ As the college giiil bids farewell to
her home and parents for the season of
1900-1 It arouses speculation on an old
subject, whether or not the college girl
Is getting the best out <4' her opportuni
ties for intellectual Improvement. That
she would be happier at home under
the eye of a judicious mother at this
period of her life there can be no two
opinions. Anything that tends even
temporarily to alienate the girl from
her home is a misfortune, for her after
life will be spent In a home. College
life Is very like the life in a great hotel.
It is Impersonal, irresponsible. No mat
ter how well meaning the faculty may
ho, they cannot supervise the forming
of the tastes and habits of each stu
dent. Carelessness or overprecisiou
are tlie Scylla and Charybdls that must
be avoided. The young college girl, in
experienced, from a country home per
haps, is Suddenly thrown on her own
responsibility. She lias no guide but
her own good sense in choosing friends
in work or play or in mode of life. If
she forgets some trilling detail of her
toilet In the rush of business In the
great educational Institution, there is
no one with the time or tlie right to
suggest that her collar is awry, her
lialr guiltless of comb, her nails uu
manicured and her shoes half buttoned
and unpolished. The braids wear off
her skirts, and her dainty handker
chiefs become polka dotted with ink,
and there is no one to hint that she is
becoming a sloven so long as her stand
ard In class is a high one. She may in
jure her eyes in study or overexert in
the college basket ball or rowing teams,
and nobody bothers. Her pocket mon
ey may give her the opportunity to en
joy between meals unhygienic dainties
such as candy, cake and pickles, and
nobody tells her she Is courting Indi
gestion. She exercises perhaps only to
the small extent that the college rou
tine requires and grows weak and
round shouldered through poring over
a desk without criticism. All these
things are possibilities to the college
girl who lias no keen, wise eye, and no
ej*e sees so clearly as that of a loving
mother. The girl studies as habit, In
clination or duty urges her. Which of
these Incentives will rule and for what
after benefit depends altogether upon
the girl. Colleges should not pretend
to form character. Their business Is to
cultivate the mind. No large college
can really do anything more. If tlie
girl acquires a thorough education In
the studies that make up the curricu
lum, it lias done its part.
And the.home? There are in any city
teachers equal in ability to tlie pro
fessors of the most famous women's
colleges. There are schools just as ca
pable of educating any young woman.
The glory of possessing a diploma from
a celebrated college must be weighed
against the advantage of the refining
influence of a mother's love and experi
ence and the advantage of growing up
in sympathy with the station and
friends into which the girl was born.
The days of big bonuses for extra
speed by new battleships are over, but
the ambition of tlie builders to outdo
their stint remains undiminished. This
was demonstrated in the Alabama's of
ficial speed trial, in which she made a
record of 17 knots, or one better than
the contract required.
The professional spellbinder will
point warnlngly to the "handwriting
on tlie wall" as soon as lie has observ
ed the handwriting on the check.
William Waldorf Astor must be try
ing to break a record. He liasn't made
any other than the original kind of fool
of himself in nearly a month.
The old controversy regarding tlie
origin of the word "America" lias been
revived. It's a pretty good word. Let
It go at that.
Some soubrettes are doing a clever
bit of advertising by announcing that
they have sisters who are missionaries
In China.
Robert Fitesimmons, James Jeffries
et al. still continue to hold the palm as
exponents of latter day advertising
methods.
FHE DEATH LIST GROWS
Mayor of Galveston Says It
Exceeds Five Thousand.
GRAPHIC STORY OF CONDITIONS.
Over Twenty-five Hundred Bodies
Burled or Curried Ont to Sen—Loot
ing and AKMHIIH— PoIice, Soldiers
and Firemen Hard ut Work.
New York, Sept. 12. —The Herald has
the following from Galveston:
"Galveston is almost wiped off the
earth. Fifteen thousand persons uro
homeless. The loss of life will reach
into tlie thousands. Bodies are piled ev
erywhere.
"From Thirteenth street east to the
gulf there are few houses standing. The
end of the island is obliterated. Every
house in town, big, little, public or pri
vate, is more or less damaged.
"A thousand small craft lay wrecked
on the shore. A big vessel is ashore north
of Pelican island, two others near Texas
City, one against the railroad bridge and
one at Deer island. A sloop is stranded
in u hallway in the center of the city at
its highest level. Another is berthed in
a stable neur the Tremont hotel.
"The hurricane lasted from 4 o'clock
in the evening of Saturday until half
past 1 o'clock Sunday morning. Be
tween 0 and 9 o'clock nothing could be
seen from the island but nn unbroken
circle of sea. It looked for all the world
us though Galveston would be swallowed
in the terrible embrace of u monster
cyclonic hurricane.
"Angry currents of the deep were seen
in a torment, lashing the wharfs and
pouring into the streets. The wind
howled and screeched and shrieked, mak
ing uu uncanny furore that sent fear into
the hearts of the bravest.
Driven to Hefuue on Bafts.
"There were no electric lights, and the
town was shrouded in darkness. Men
hid in their homes or groped their way
here and there in the streets and breath
lessly watched in the distance the tiger
leap of each mountain wave.
"Streets were deserted an hour after
the storm struck the city. When the
more lightly built houses began to sway
later and it became dangerous to stay
within, some people came iuto the streets
again.
"Men tied their wives and children to
them with ropes and stood out in the
open, dodging flying timbers und the ele
ments rather than chance being crushed
to death within doors.
"The streets rapidly became flooded.
Shutters and doors were cut down in
many instances with axes and used as
rafts. The medley of cries aud shrieks
of the women and children and even of
stout hearted Men was weird.
"Fiercer and louder howled the wind
and greater became the flood. Men were
drowned in sight of each other. The
heavens grew darker and darker. The
waters swirled, the breakers could be
heard roaring in the streets, and the rain
came down In torrents.
Fierce "Wave* Bent Down HOUHCM.
"Men and women stood on rafts and
prayed. Some were seen to succumb
and fall lifeless into the waters.
"The combers lashed up by the gale
were fierce in their death dealing power.
Houses bordering tho ocean and bay
front could be heard crashing to destruc
tion, the cries of the dying mingling with
the weird screech of the gale. Almost
through a ghastly night this scene lived
on, but at last a hiatus occurred and
parting clouds permitted a ray of moon
light to irradiate the tormented sea and
seething island.
"When daylight broke over the ex
panse of floating bodies, rubbish Heaps
and ruins, all that remained of the pros
perous city, a few leading citizens as
sembled in several feet of water at a
street corner and called a meeting at
Tremont hall, to which they adjourned.
Triumvirate Declarem Mnrtlul I-aw.
"A committee of public safety of 15
leading citizens was formed, and Colonel
.1. 11. Hawley, one of the best known
men in Texas, was made chairman. He,
Mayor Walter C. Jones and Chief of
Police Edward Ketcham formed a tri
umvirate, with absolute power, and de
clared the city under martial law.
"They issued a commission to Major
L. U. D. Fayling, which read:
" 'By the authority invested in me as
chairman of the committee of public
safety of the city of Galveston, I. J. 11.
Hawley. chairman, do hereby commission
1.. It. D. Fayling us commander in chief
of all military forces and special depu
ties of police, with the rank of major
and only subject to the orders of the un
dersigned, the mayor and the chief of po
lice.
" 'Major Fayling is hereby authorized
to requisition any men or property he
muy require for his force, and his re
ceipt will be honored by the city of Gal
veston and any such property paid for
by the city.'
Hurtle IIOIIM Dead nutl Dyiiifr.
"As soon as Major Fayling received
his authority lie collected a handful of
half naked, barefooted soldiers, clothed
them, supplied them with food and put
them under command of Captain Ed
ward Rogers. Around this nucleus of a
force he has built up to meet tho neces
sities of the situation his present force
of three full companies of volunteer sol
diers and a troop of cavalry.
"A horde of negroes und whites—even
white women—were in the ruins of the
city. They were robbing the dend and
dying, killing these who resisted, cut
ting off fingers to obtain rings and ears
to obtain earrings. Drunken men reeled
about the streets intimidating citizens.
"Chief of Police Ketchuin ordered the
sale of liquor stopped and began to swear
in hundreds of special policemen to res
cue the wounded, feed the living and con
vey the dead to a hundred different
morgues. He worked for 3(1 hours with
out going home to inquire about his fam
ily's fate, which was in doubt.
"When told he should do so, he replied
characteristically, 'God will lie good to
nie and mine, for I am going to be good
to others.'
"The dead, mangled and crushed be
yond recognition, were dragged from the
river by the rescuers, all citizens join
ing in the grew some work.
Throw llotlioN Into the Gulf.
"The stench from the dead by Monday
morning was unbearable. Estimates by
citizens of Galveston this morning place
the number of dead nt from 2,000 to
3.000. Four hundred were found lloat
ing at Virginia Point, across tho bay,
Monday. The streets contained 1,000 In
sight.
"The triumvirate ruliug the city press-
Ed citizens into service to tnke the dead
out in barges and bury thorn in the gulf.
The soldiers impressed into service at the
Point of the bayonet every wagon that
came along and every ablebodied negro
to assist in throwing the dead into the
sen. It was impossible to give other
burial.
"From the stench whch pervades the
city at this moment it is apparent that
hundreds of bodies yet lie under the
ruins. The sun is hotter than in July.
"Major Fay ling was ordered yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock to inarch his troops
through the town and force every man
they met at the point of the bayonet to
go to the wharfs to load bodies on barges
for the sea.
"Negroes, business and professional
men were driven to the water front, sur
runded by a solid cordon of bayonets and
loaded rifles and compelled to assist in
the handling of the dead.
"The regular soldiers, who had been
working for two days with bloody feet,
were utterly exhausted by Monday even
ing and were assembled by Colonel Raf
ferty and put in a hastily extemporized
hospital which was formerly a church.
Their places were tilled by Major Fay
ling with new recruits, whom he drafted
on the streets and supplied with arms
and equipment from the local armory.
Negroes Assault White Women.
"Every part of the city was patrolled
by 0 o'clock in the evening. Among many
other incidents.of last night was the be
sieging of the squad guarding St. Mary's
hospital. They were surrounded by a
horde of armed negro thieves. Several
huudred shots were exchanged. Sergeant
Camp killed four negroes with his ritle,
and about 10 or 12 were killed by the
squad.
"The soldiers have since been picketing
the city, doing 14 hours' duty without
rest. Every hour during the night a fresh
negro shooting was reported at head
quarters.
"A negro nssaulted a white woman in
her home early this morning and killed
her. A soldier kicked in the door, caught
him and blew the top of his heud off with
a pistol.
"A dozen enses of assaults on white
women have been reported at headquar
ters this morning. The public has become
unnerved by the terrible things, and the
reported assaults have only faintly stirred
it. As n citizen said this morning, 25
deaths and assaults might have fen zed
us a year ago, hut not when 3,000 have
gone from us."
WORSE THAN REPORTED.
Full Extent of the DlautNter Becom
ing Known.
Galveston, Sept. 12.—Mayor Walter C.
Jones estimates the number of dead at
5,000, ami he is conservative. Over 2,300
bodies have already been taken out to sea
or buried in trenches. Other hundreds
are yet to be taken from'the ruins. These
bodies are now all badly decomposed, and
they are being buried in trenches where
they are found. Others are being buried
in the debris where this can be done safe
ly. There is little attempt at identifica
tion, and it is safe to say that there will
never be a complete list of the dead.
Chief of Police Ketcham is in charge
of the work of burying the dead. There
are large bodies of men engaged in this
work, tearing up the ruins and getting
out the/ corpses. Some of those whose
bodies are being taken out were probably
only injured when they were first struck
down, but there was no getting relief to
them, and they perished miserably.
The remnant of the force of regular sol
diers who were stationed here —and it is
a very small remnant—have joined the
police in patrolling the city.
Several persons have already been shot,
it is reported. A soldier of Captain Raf
ferty's battery, while patrolling the bench
yesterday, ordered a man to desist from
looting. The fellow drew a weapon, and
the soldier shot him dead. The soldier
was attacked by four other men, and he
killed Jill of them. He had five cartridges
in his rifle, and each of them found a vic
tim. Other men have also been shot, but
the details are not known nor can the
exact number he ascertained, but it is
probable that 25 were killed. Some of
these were shot for failing to halt when
ordered to do so. Others were shot for
vandalism.
The ruins of the heavier brick buildings
have not yet been searched for the dead,
and there is a large number in them. In
the mass of rubbish which marks the
site of tin* Lucas Terrace boarding house
40 or 50 people were killed outright, and
their bodies ure still in the ruins. The
orphans home on the beach is totally de
molished. Ninety-two children and 11
nuns were killed there.
It is reported that one sister escaped,
but if she did no trace can he found of
her.
Of the regular soldiers few remain.
Twenty-three wore drowned at the bar
racks at Camp Hawloy and seven at 801-,
ivar. One man drifted about iu the bay
until Monday morning and was taken out
alive.
The correspondent stood at the foot of
Tromont street and counted nine floating
bodies without moving, and this is only
one instance. It is not known whether
these were water front victims or dead
being cast up by the son.
A lot of rubbish was being loaded on
barges, and this stuff had many bodies
in it.
Twenty-four Nuns Killed.
New York, Sept. 12. —Twenty-four
nuns belonging to the Dominican order,
recently residents of Newark. N. J., are
believed to have perished in the Galves
ton hurricane, and their relatives and
friends in Newark are unable to got any
tidings of them. The names of nine of
these nuns before they took the veil were:
Miss Catherine Gannon, who became sis
ter superior of the Catholic convent of
the Sacred Heart of Galveston; Miss
Alice Kane. Miss Mary Collins, Miss
Catherine Kinney, Miss Katie Gallagher,
Miss Mary A. O'Reilly, Miss Mary Nor
ton. Miss Annie Tunnoy and Miss Eliza
beth Augey. The names of the others
could not bo gathered. Elizabeth and
Anna MoOnire, aunts of Policeman John
McMann of Newark, also live in Galves
ton and have not been heard from. Over
S4OO lias already been raised in Newark
toward the relief of the hurricane suffer
ers.
The Journal's Belief Train.
New York. Sept. 12.—The special relief
train sent to Galveston by the New York
Journal and Advertiser via the I).. L. and
W. railroad left at 7 o'clock last night. It
was made up of two Pullman sleepers
and an express car. In the sleepers were
28 doctors and nurses fully equipped. In
the express car were barrels and boxes of
the medicines and luxuries that invalids
need. After reaching Buffalo the train
will ho taken over the Wabash to St.
Louis and over the Iron Mountain sys
tem to Houston.
SARATOGA NOMINATIONS
Stanchfield Almost Certain of
First Place.
OOLEE'S NAME TO BE PEESESTED.
Otto Kempner of Kings Will Make
the Speech—George Balnea to He
Permanent Chairman of the Con
vention—Working on I'lntform.
Suratogo, Sept. 12. —Present indications
are that John B. Stanchfield will he
nominated for governor by the Democrat
ic convention, and his name will be pre
sented to the convention by Judge S. S.
Taylor of Chemung. William F. Muckey
of Erie has been offered second place up
on the ticket uud lias agreed to give an
answer as to whether he will accept be
fore tlie convention assembles. Mr.
Mackey will probably accept.
The Croker-Murpliy-McLaughlin com
bine leaders ended a three hour confer
ence at midnight. While no one of them
would make a statement for publication,
they all said privately that Stanchfield
and Mackey will be nominated. AH the
result of the conference the following
slate can be taken as being us nearly cor
rect as it is possible to obtain now:
Governor, John B. Stanchfield of Che-
Kill 11 g.
Lieutenant governor, William F. Mack
ey of Erie.
Seen tary of state, John T. Norton of
Rensselaer.
Comptroller, Edwin A. At water of
Dutchess.
Attorney general, George M. Palmer of
Schoharie.
For attorney general, Thomas F. Con
way of Clinton.
Treasurer, Guy 11. Clarke of Madison.
Engineer and surveyor, Russell
Stewart of Onondaga.
Only an absolute breach of faith, it is
asserted, can prevent the selection of the
two at the head of this ticket, and only
the persistent claims of up state leaders
will upset the complete ticket. This seems
improbable, as the candidates are admir
ably distributed as to geographical condi
tions, and probably are as uniformly sat
isfactory to ull factious us could be se
cured.
Mr. Ilill does not believe that his ene
mies are going to nominate his old pro
tege and pupil, Stanchfield. That belief,
however, is merely an opinion and is not
based on any knowledge of the doings of
the bosses who are trying to crush him.
Mr. Stanchfield telephoned to u friend
here last night from Elmira that he
would stay in the race for the nomina
tion.
Coler Still a Cnnil Ida to.
Comptroller Coler telephoned last night
that he wanted his name presented to the
convention uud a logical, consistent fight
ma de.
Otto Kempner of Kings, who is going
to make the speech nominating Comp
troller Coler, which speech will opeu the
oratorical battle royal, came out of his
hidiug place lust night and turned the
speech over to the newspapers for pub
lication tomorrow. While the speech is
a bitter attack on Tammany Hall as an
organization it makes no personal al
lusions to Mr. Croker and the other lead
ers of an abusive character, this being in
accordance with the wish of Senator
lliil.
All suggestions that those iu control
will try to prevent Mr. Kempner from
sitting with his delegation are said to be
false.
Chairman' Frank Campbell called the
convention to order at 11:45 and stated
that he h*t\d boon directed by the state
committee to present the name of Hon.
Patrick E. McCnrren of Kings as tem
porary chairman of the convention. This
selection was quickly ratified, and Elliot
Danforth and Norman E. Mack were
appointed to escort him to the chair.
John A. Mason and Calvin J. Huson
were named as temporary secretaries.
As Messrs. Danforth and Mack reach
ed Senator MeCarren's seat lie arose to
greet them ami was hailed with cheers
whieli were much intensified when he
reached the platform and was formally
presented by Chairman Campbell.
Chairman MeCarren's speech was an
abb' resume of recent political history of
the state and of tlie questions of the
day. He dealt particularly with the
Rainapo and canal questions.
After the roll call the usual committees
were appointed, and the convention ad
journed.
I'lutform Committee Meets.
When the committee on resolutions
convened, Frederick Sehraub, a Hill ad
herent, proposed the name of Professor
James Milne of Cortland as chairman
of the corainitlee. Senator Thomas K.
Grady, who offered the resolution for
the appointment of the committees, ac
cording to all precedent should have been
chairman. This motion, however, was
readily acceded to, and Professor Milne
assumed the chairmanship.
Thomas F. Smith of New York was
made secretary of the committee, and
Corporation Counsel Whalen moved that
a subcommittee of five, of which the
chairman should be one, be appointed to
draft the platform.
Chairman Milne then announced as the
subcommittee John Whalen of New York,
Norman E. Mack of Erie, ox-Judge Au
gustus Van Wyck of Kings and William
F. Moloney of Niagara.
Wauhope Lynn of New York present
ed several suggestions as to the plat
form. He argued for planks on com
pulsory arbitration, an enlargement of
the department of labor and good high
ways. Judge Lynn also thought it time
that the Democratic party should give
full consideration to the municipal own
ership of all franchises affecting the pub
lic good.
When further suggestions were asked
for, there was not response, anil the com
mittee adjourned.
The committee on permanent organiza
tion of the convention had a very har
monious and brief session. Randolph
Guggenheimer of New York was made
chairman. By a unanimous vote George
Raines of Rochester was chosen as the
permanent chairman of the convention.
The temporary secretaries then were
made the permanent secretaries of the
convention, a list of honorary vice presi
dents and secretaries, one from each dis
trict, was selected for presentation, and
the meeting adjourned.

TO DECLARE GUERRILLA WAR
Botha Opposed the Declalon, bat
Was Overrnled.
London, Sept. 12.—A dispatch to The
Morning Post from Belfast, in the Vaal
River Colony, dated Monday, says that
the latest information from Boer sources
is to the effect that it has been definitely
decided to declare guerrilla warfare
formally against the British. It is stated
that General Botha objected to such ac
tion, but he was overruled by the other
members of the council of war.
The dispatch adds that ex-President
Kruger, who was at Nelspruit on Sept. 8,
is too feeble to leave the railway. It is
expected that he will go to Komatipoort.
lie is unable to realize the situation, be
ing governed by his own formula that
the Boers have nothing to lose and there
fore may as well continue the wur. He
has formally declared that the procla
mation recently issued by General Rob
erts annexing the Transvaal to the Brit
ish dominions is null and void.
Captain Herbert Slocuni of the United
States army, who was with the British
troops in South Africa for the purpose
of observing the military operations, ar
rived in London today. He will proceed
at once to his new post as military at
tache of the American legation at St.
Petersburg. Lord Roberts and Lord
Kitchener hade farewell to Captain Slo
cuni before he left Pretoria.
Captain Slocum speaks highly of the
record made during the war by Adelbert
S. Hay, the United States consul at Pre
toria, but decline* to be interviewed on
other matters.

Chnmlierluln Ihuicn a Manifesto.
London, Sept. 12.—Mr. Joseph Chain
berluin, secretary of state for the colo
nies, in the form of a letter to the Dur
ham Conservative association, issues an
election manifesto. Referring to the set
tlement in South Africa he says: "I
should seriously fear that if by any
cause the Liberals were now returned to
office they would be ready to throw away
in connection with the settlement the
position which has been so hardly gained
by the sacrifices of war. I hope every
elector who feels that the arrogant and
arbitrary tyranny of the Boer oligarchy,
culminating hi au invasion of her maj
esty's territories, requires to be dealt
with by a strong hand will support the
Unionist candidates at the polls."

DOCTORING IN CHINA.
I'liyaleluns and Patent Medicine*
Among' the CeleatlnlH.
There are very many doctors, ami
their profession Is not a sinecure, for
If a patient has medicines from a med
ical man he not only wants a ipiantlty,
but expects It. to change his condition
immediately, and it is nothing uncom
mon to have three or four different doe
tors in course of 24 hours, says a writ
er in The Era. The medical men, know
ing this, give them some hot compound
that can lie felt at once.
The superstition (hat pervades every
class is one of the many things that
tend materially to keep China from ad
vancing rapidly. Every shop has its
joss, and the proprietor seeks its ad
vice before deciding any momentous
question. And lie abides by its deci
sion. I met n very learned gen
tleman, one who is a graduate of a
good college in the United States, and
asked him to accompany me to an lu
lnud village; but, though ho wanted
to go, lie would not make the trip sim
ply because his Joss said it was an in
opportune time (o leave home.
They are great on putting up patent
medicines, which embrace a line far
more varied than any price list any
wholesale druggist would show. They
do not bent around the bush when de
scribing what tills or that is for. Some
times the complaint is made extra con
spicuous by aid of drawings, and these
same sketches are hung on the outer
walls, so all can read who pass. In
stead of calling lite mixture after the
name of the maker they simply have a
list of cures. For example, cure of sore
eyes, cure of cough, cure of stiff legs,
etc. Owing to the fact that the great
masses ill China have but little means
these remedies are put up in very
small sizes, retailing for 2V'u cents.
