THR DANLY POR STUDENTS EXPELLED FROM THE COLLEGE. Cambridge Men Were "Sent Down" for Disorderly Conduet--Proces. | rion Held to the Station With! Forty Cabs Containing Mourners, \ ¥ew undergraduates at Uxiora or Cambridge nd their time in burn- ing the midnight oil. The average uw . is far more interested in the lighter cide of things, and when there is an opportunity for a practi- cal joke he jumps at if. . Only a week or two ago, for in- stance, some Cambridge men were "sent down'--or temporarily €xpell- ed--for disorderly conduct. Bo ir friends promptly decided to give them 8 mock funeral. A procession took place to the railway station, with for- ty cabs of mourners, a dozen mount. ed men, and scores of under-graduates marching solemnly behind. All the mock mourners wore long crepe "weepers," and some had their faces adorned with black stripes, and led dogs in the heaviest mourning. Most of the mourted men carried cards with inscriptions, such as "He was we friend!" and "R.LP." If a don is very unpopular, {fie us- ual way the undergraduate adopts of showing his displeasure is to screw his "oak," or door, in the night. A very distinguished man, "who was once a don at Merton, has reported a funny conversation between a don in- side the screwed-up door -- perhaps Himaelf t--and a "scout," or servant, outside. "But what on earth am Ito do?" wailed the poor don. "Well, sir." the "scout" replied, "when Mr Muff is seréwed up, sir, 'e allus sends for the blacksmith.' Many years ago the dean of one of the Oxford colleges started a cru. sade against the wearing of hunting coats. His methods were tactless, and the undergraduates swore revenge One fine morning he found, on leav- ing the despery, that the building-- walls and windows--was painted ex- aetly the hue he abhorred, as high as & man covld reach. The great enemy of the frolicsome undergraduate is the "proctor'--a college dignitary, who, with his ns sistants--known as 'bulldogs' ~par- ades the streets sfter nightfall. Let him catch an undergraduate out in the evening without cap and gown, or in a hotel or publi¢ billiard-rosm, and he approaches politely with, "Are you a manber of this university, sir? raising his cap. "Yes, sir!" says the criminal, also raising his cap. He is then asked for his name and eel. lege, and requested to call on the senior proctor to-morrow at nine. There are man¥ old regulations on the books of the universities that are long since out of date. One at Oxford forbids undergraduates to play marbles on the steps of a certain Walk. Some years ago a few daring spirits bought for a lark some hoops | playing like children in the forbidden | places. and marbles, and started solemnly But was the senior proctor at a loss? No! He promptly fined them all round, just as they would have been fined a couple of hundred years ago. Rescued Dog From Mine. The story of how a miner threw a dog down the shaft of a disused pit, from which it was rescued five days later, was told at Linlithgow, when the man guilty of such an act of cruelty was fined $15. The dog had been heard whining piteously by passers-by, and two men, John Doch- erty and Walter @herry, Mbored from the Sunday afternoon to "Monday morning to effect a rescue. First of all they let down a basket containing meat in order to induce the dog into it, but a stone tied round the animal's neck prevented it from entering the basket. Eventually the young men got the dog to the surface by a hook attach to a rope. Cherry and Doch- erty were highly commended by the bench for their humane actions. A Private Coronation. Rothesay means to have a corona tiomeeremony of its own. At a re. cent meeting of the Town Council it was agreed to present HRH. the Duke of Cornwall and Rothesay with an illuminated address on his succes- sion to the title of Duke of Rothesay It was also indicated that in the near future the young duke would receive the freedomi of the roval burgh. It was mentioned a8 an in- teresting point that the duke's names include that of David, and that this is the first occasion since the foynds- tion of the title, five hundred years ago, that a Duke of Rothesay has possessed the name of the first Scot- tish prince on whom the title was conferred, Scotland Grows Sober. The amazing decrease of drunken. ness in Seotland that followed the increase of the price of whisky at the end of April, 1909, is the subject of the Prison Report just issued. The decrease in the drunkenness convie- tions in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dundee as compared with 1908 is vividly illustrated by the fact that BRITIsH WHIG, FRIDAY, IN OLD ANNAPOLIS. | Things Wefe Primitive But Happy In | the First Settlement. Annapolis, formedy Port Royal, was a "garrison town" Jdrom the time of its founding by De Monts in 1804, until, in 1353, it ceased to be the capi- tal of the Province of Nova Scotia, and the troops were withdrawn and stationed at Halifax, and is therefor the oldest settlement in Canada. creased JEmigmtion, Of the residents, Dierville says:-- 'They feed themselves and have sur. lus to sell.

Fruits, and garden stuffs are excellent. visions are cheap; wheat 40 bushel, the b a pound; a pair of chickens, I eggs, five sous per dozen; and hares, four sous apiece.

These all belo: tw indivi. duals, and when a ing existed amongst them, which was but rarely, they used to .come to Port Royal for refreshments. But it is to be remarked that except Port Royal and Le Have, where cultivated lands and carried on the fisheries, the other posts were only kept up for trading with the savages. Port Royal | is, then, the general storesof the coun- try, and fortifying it protects Minas also, where corn is now raised, and eattle." The first Town Council of lis after its final occupation by the Eng- lish was organised in the spring 'of 1720 by Governor Phillips. mem. bers of that were ten in num- ber. The first work of this council was evidently in the line of superin- | tendence of public repairs. The town was in a bad condition according to report of Governor Phillips. en he landed in April he fo the place "in as bad a stale as was possible to describe, both within and without." The criminal courts of these earl councils were the occasions of decid. edly amusing proceedings. The Jean Picot affair and her sentence to "ducking at high water" have become familiar in history, and other sen. tences to the early offenders of jus- tice were equally strange and ridicu- lous. In Beptember, 17i6, one Robert Nicols was charged with assaulting | one ,of the officers of the garrison, and a court of four councillors found him guilty and passed the following sentence: - found guilty by H. M. Council oe this Broviice of ia etime wherew thou art A pun- ishment, therefore, otiited on thee is to sit upon a gallows three days, half an hour day, with a rope about thy neck, and a upon thy 'breast whereon shall wrote, in capital letters, "AUDACIOUS VIL- LAIN," and afterwards thou art to be whipt at a cart's tail from the prison house up to the uppermost house of the Cape, and from thence back again to prison house, receiving each hun- dred paces five stripes upon your bare back with a cat-of-nine-tails, and then thou are to be turned over for a soldier." Evidently to be a soldier was not #0 high an honor as it once had been. Another sentence given in 1732 was that the prisoner should be publicly whipped "at the cart's tail" at four places in the town, and. at each place to receive five stripes on.his bare k with a cat-o'nine fails, Piracy was rampant in Annapolis during the early years of the eigh- teenth century, and not only was ser ious damage done to the riy by these attacks, but the cnslaughts were usually accompanied with loss of life. There was thus a la element of precariway towards prosperity with malcontents on every hand spreading dissatisfaction alarm. In August, 1781, the town was at tacked by two rebel schooners carry. ing twelve guns each. The ships came up the harbor. under cover of night and I théir men, unobserved. It was a genuine f[reebooters' ex. cursion, with plans well laid and skil- fully executed. The garrison was first attacked, the sentries silenced and the fort taken, while the soldiers slept. As soon as the day broke they turned their atlention to the town, surround. ed the houses, and, capturing every man and boy, locked them in the fort.

Then we remembered the old story of the man lost in the woods who saved his life by soothing the wolves with a vio- lin, Bo we put in a violin solo by Mischa Elman. The result was that the wolf stood on his hind legs, threw his head back and howled. So the narrative might go on. The monkeys jumped about and scolded; the peacock strutted at the sound of the band music; the brown bears tried to dance on hearing the band play; while the eagles, who were un- responsive to all other efforts, were all alive on hearing a yodel song by Ma Yaute Schumann-Heink, ~The Toronte ilobe, 4 Growth of Postoffice. The figures show that in the fen years previous to the Postmaster-Gen. eral"s report for last year, new post offices had been established at the rate of. one for every fwotking-4a. With the tremendous inrush of peo- ple into the Canadian West this rate of extension must be greatly acceler- ated. Last year, the postoffices in the provinces west of the Great Lakes numbered 2,716, as against 645 in the same territory twenty years ago. In Saskatchewan alone there were, last vear, 861 postoffices, or almost one- third more than in the whole of the West in 1889. The increase has' not been in the West alone, however, but has been general throughout the Dom. inion. Ontario last year had 3.604 postoffices, as against 3,228 ten years | the increase in postoffices means bet. ter facilities for existing population as well as new facilities for new places is proven by the fact that Prince Ed. ward Island, which has increased but tittle in lation, had, last year, and 315 in 1880. For New the figures are 1,397 for 1900 as against years ago. The number of offices in the Yukon last year was 21. Sir William Butler, Canada remembers Bir Butler as the author of "The Grea Lone Land," & book on western Can- ada before railways and migrations of peovie were features of prairie life. ir William died recently in the old country at the age of 72. He was one of the brilliant roll of soldiers whom Ireland has iven to the Empire's ser. vice. Bir William was born in Tip- erary. and started soldiering at the age ol 0.
