Binghamton, N.Y., Feb. 25.-Dane- ing has been forbidden at the Cort {and state normal school, and be cause they indulged in it thirty stu- dents have been threatened with ex- pulsion. The faculty has decided that dancing, in some of its forms, is det rimental to school work and pro motes an undesirable mixture of the sexes. This. has met with the disap- proval of many of the students and it was proposed to make a test case of it. Accordingly, Redmen's hall in that village was rented and an or- chestra engaged for a ball. The af fair proved very attractive to lovers of the terpsichorean art and the ball was well attended. The following day the faculty learned the name of one of the girl students who was present, and, after a severe cross examina- tion, obtained from her a list of thir- ty stidents who participated. These were summoned to appear before the faculty and were severely reprimand ed. They were required to make a pledge that they would in future abstain from further dances while at- tending the state normal school on the pain of expulsion, UNADULTERATED SNOBBERY. It Is Most Pronounced In United States. Paris, Feb, 25.--The Temps publish es -an-ironical editorial on she visit of prince Henry to the United States. "Where," it asks, Tis the sound de moeracy and proud simplicity of Jef- forson, Franklin, and Washington * Snphbery, it declares, is more pro- Liounced in America than elsewhere. The Americans have a childish taste for artificial splenaor with rank. The paper believes, however, that the visit will offset the English advances to the United States. The Journal Des Debats, comment- ing on the visit, exclaims : "No won- der America is proud. FEarope's hum- ble attitude justifies such a feeling on | the part of the United States."

A Frenclinan has left a bequest of £20,000, which is to supply yearly a dowry for twe poor but respectable red-haired girls. Whether he liked red hair or consid ered it an affliction beyond the ordin ary, he neglected ta state. his motive is obscure, but the £20000 is a definite fact. Now the method of selection is puz- zling the men who have to carry out the wishes of the deceased. Applicants for the dowry will doubtless turn up in swarms, and, if there is anything in the popular tradition that associates red hair and fiery temper, the rejected maidens may make things hot for the trustdes. It ix to be hoped that those irvs tees will pick out hair of the carrot ty, uncompromising type. The girl with the Titian tresses, the girl with auburn or copper, red or chestnut hair needs no consultation Her wealthier sisters spend much fine gold trying to acquire just the tint that is here without money and without price. But there is a red hair, a sandy, unspectacular, brick red hair. It usually goes with pale blue eves and white eyelashes and vague freckles. The girl who has to carr head through life needs the consola tions of religion and a dowry. If she chooses to spend part of the dowry on hair dye, the man who marries her should not be allowed to protest 20 tha To Horjr Queen Alexandra. As king Edward is anxious to pay all possible honor to queen Alexandra and has the right to dispense with some old customs while retaining others, it is highly probable that her majesty will be aceorded privileges at her coronation beyond those of pre vious wearers of the crown matnmon ial. Her value to the Hanoverian dvnasty has been incalculable. At the coronation of James 11, the queen eonsort's chair was placed at the king's left and soms distance away. It was also twp stops lower than that of the king, so that when seated the queen was not on the same level as her sovereign lord. Picked Up British Vessel.

Success In the old days, the Hudson Bay company had a charter monopoly on all trade in the north. The charter was good for two hundred years, and expired in 1870. Since that time, the company has stood on the same legal footing as any business firm. Techni cally, afybody has the right to "visit any part of Canada, and trade with any Indian who may have fur to sell In reality, the company's monopoiy in the backwoods -is as ironclad ever. It retains the monopoly srely Locause it~ controls the fron ung iy All it has to do is to withhold food. Ite rival must leave the country, and the disloyal trapper who has sold him furs has also to seek new hunting grounds beyond the limits of the com pant's power. Until there is a trade rival safficient ly powerful to establish a complete svstem of sapply posts, to permit the easy passage of its trappers from one post to another, the Hudson Bay company will remain absolute master of its vast territories. The American fur company and the Hudson Bay company for many vears carried on a hitter, relentless war in the depths of the wilderness. Forts were establich- ed, taken, and retaken; trappers were waylaid and murdered; several fitch wd battles were fought. But the Hud son Bay company finally won, and has lived without a rival ever since as A Unique Gathering. On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs W. GG.
