DUBIJN. October 1, 19J1.
A strike of boarded-in students has
taken place at St. Murdoch's College,
near Ballina, County Mayo. The body,
which numbers about forty, went out on
strike Wednesday ev -nlng In favor of
"Wednesday off" and the abolition of
the cane.
After escaping from the college they
careered across the country toward the
mountains. The professors of the college
were hurriedly summoned and were
soon in hot pursuit of the refractory
> ouths.
The students, however, managed to
elude their pursuers, and the next that
was heard of them was a telegram asking
for the appointment of an arbitration
committee to settle their grievances. The
telegram gave the necessary clue to their
whereabouts, and on the following morning
they were all captured by Prof. Moran.

nine miles away. The boys were
brought back by the mail train to Ballina.

< ."f
A handsome addition to the new build
ing of the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciatlon on G street is to be erected 01
the property adjoining the building on thi
west. Within the last day or two tin
association has closed the purchase o
the property lying between its buildini
and the corner of 18th street, which haj
been used as an army dispensary.
Although the property has already beet
bought, it may be some time before th<
projected addition to the Y. M. C.. A
building is erected. It is estimated tha
it will require about $25,000 to put up i
six-story building which will correspon*
in style of architecture and constructioi
with the present building, and it will b
necessary to raise this sum before th<
work can be begun.
The lot which has been purchased ha
a frontage or 59. feet on G street and 11
feet on 18th street, and is occupied by i
four-story brick building. Although th
purchase price has not been made public
it is believed to have been in the neigh
borhood of $25,000.
The new building will contain a fin<
auditorium on the first floor, and the up
per floors will be given over to dormitories
similar to those in the preseni
building. j

committee that the auditorium be callee

committeemen suggest that $25,000 b<
raised by subscription to erect a pernia
nent memorial to Mr. Sleman. Them con
tend that no memorial would be more
fitting than an addition to the Y. M. C. A
building, for which Mr. Sleman did yeo
man service and collected the largei
share of the money needed for its erec
tlon., , ,
They propose, therefore, to contribute
$25,000 toward the erection of the me
morial building. On this Investment o
$25,000 the Y. M. C. A. is to pay 5 pei
cent interest. The revenue thvts derivec
is to be used, one-half for free mem'
bershlps in the Y. M. C. A. for pooi
boys, and the other half for the Foreigr
Missions Society, *ln whose work Mr. Sleman
also took a very keen interest Thej
point out that from the upper Ave stories,
laid out in dormitories, the associatior
will derive a good Income, and will be
well able to pay the interest on the $25,>00,
which will be used for purposes
which would have had the entire approval
of Mr. Sleman were he still alive.
To Launch Plan November 8.
William Knowles Cooper, general secretary
of the Washington Y. M. C. A.
and chairman of the John B. Slerian, jr.,
memorial committee, is out of the city,
but it is understood that the plat to collect
$25,000 to aid in the construitlon ol
the John B. Sleman Memorial Hall will
be launched at the meeting of the memorial
committee, November 8.
The finance committee of the Y. M. C.
A. had for some time planned to purchase
the property on G street between
the new building and 18th street. Memberg
of the committee considered thai
this should be done as a protection to the
present holdings of the association. The
purchase was consummated, therefore, as
soon as it was found possible.

EDINBURGH, October 0, 1911.
The king and queen took part in a ball
which they gave a few nights ago at Balmoral
castle to the tenants, warrant holders,
servants and ghillies of the royal
estates in the highlands.

king and the principal Balmoral lady
tenant, the queen and Mr. Michie, M.
V. O.
More than 400 guests from the Balmoral,
Abergeldie and Birkhall estates
were present.
Besides their majesties the ball was attended
by Princess Mary, the Princess
Royal and the Duke of Fife, with Princess
Alexandra and Princess Maud and
Princess Henry of Battenberg. Lord
Morley was present as minister in attendance.
t King in Highland Dress.
A picturesque and brilliant scene was
presented when the royal party entered
the ballroom, the king. In highland dress,
rhe Balmoral Highlanders were present
in full strength, and lined the passage
leading from the dining room to the ballroom,
through which the royal party
passed. When the last of the household
had gone in the hlghlanders followed, two
Seep, into the ballroom and formed up,
their bright-colored tartan contrasting
vividly with the delicate dresses worn by
the ladies.
The ballroom was davishly decorated
with flowers. A small gallery at the top
end was occupied by the musicians, who
were almost concealed by palms.
Nearly all the male guests appeared
In kilts, while a great number of the
ladies wore tartan ribbons of their clans.
The program opened with an eightsome
reel, in which all the royal personages
present took part, and the greater
portion of the dances were Scottish.
As a further compliment to the Highland
guests the program had a pretty
^ordering of the Royal Stuurt tartan,
those for the use of the royal family
peing printed on white satin.
Wore Powdered Wigg.
The servants were in. their full state
ivf(>, Willi |iowucrru and d run[indent
of Balmoral Highlanders, under
the direction of Mr. Mlchle, M. V. O.,
who is his majesty's factor, acted as a.
guard of honor. The entire castle was
brilliantly illuminated with electricity,
manufactured from the plant in the
grounds, a somewhat recent innovation
it Balmoral.
A large marquee, with boarded floor,
was erected in the grounds tor the gen-ral
guests' supper, others being accommodated
in the steward's and housekeep?r's
rooms and in the servants' hall.
An entire vanload of plate had been
brought to Balmoral for the use of the
*ourt, and this was displayed on the
buffets and tables.
The supper menu included almost every
known delicacy?salmon, venison, beef,
mutton, grouse and other game?all from
the royal estate, were served up whole,
n Joints or in tempting pies. Jellies,
trifles and artistic confections of every
lescrlption appeared in battalions, and
Ices of p. variety of flavor, color and
vhape.
Toothsome sweetmeats, luscious fruits,
from the pineapple and grape to pears
und apples, in picturesque abundance,
and u perfect wealth of flowers?all went
to make the various tables look exceedingly
beautiful.
All this had previously been prepared
for their majesties' guests by the united
efforts of about eighty cooks and their
assistants, aided by a staff of kitchen
women, acting under the orders of the
Buckingham Palace chef.

Whatever a vote may disclose, the to

, boasting that when the proposition for T'
a state-wide vote comes up in the general j*
assembly this jvinter they will be able er
to show a majority for the proposition, su
That is the claim set up by one of
the most ardent of the temperance ^
workers in Virginia the last day or th
two, and as the gentleman in question T!
has more or less to do with the work 80
of the "dry" element, he is supposed to
be in a position to know. a
It is no secret that the speaker is a
also identified with that element which
is referred to in terms of opprobrium
as being the "machine" outfit. He has
always picked winners in the state con- m
tests, and he has served as a "cog" in P'
the machine in the general assembly, di
According to the ffentlemau discussing ca
the matter, the legislative ticket has r*'
been polled in all parts of the state, and of
there are more than enough votes to
put through the proposition permitting so
the people to vote on the issue of liquor wi
or no liquor. This, too. will be aceom- w
pllshed without the aid of the republi- pi
can votes from southwest Virginia, and
there are certain to be live of the ai
minority in the upper branch and some
twelve in the lower branch. op
"You may look for the matter to or
come up eurly in the session." said the of
gentleman, "and there will be no let-up "t
till there lias been a vote on the sub- in
ject. The matter will be in charge of pe

careful account will be kept of the wi

supporters of the measure information

WINS FIRST GAME.
Bliss Electrical Opens Season With
27 to 0 Victory.
Bliss Kiectrical School opened its foot
jail season yesterday at T&koma by
aslly defeating' the Medicos of the Waler
Reed Hospital, score 27 to 0. The
schoolboys outweighed the eoldiera, an
hroughout the entire game had the ball
n their possession.
The playing of the two teama was
lean, there being but few fumblea Bliss
dayed a corlcing good game, when it is ,
aken into consideration that it ha->
>een training but a few days. The hosptal
boys depended on the old-style play,
ind had no chance to score.
"The Medicos were handicapped soinevhat,
too, as several of th^r best players
vere unable to play on account of be.ng
?rdered for duty elsewhere. This weakened
the team, as these men had been
>racticing together for the past two
veeks, and the players who replaced
hem were not used to the positions.
The playing of Binkhardt for HIIsh was
asily the feature of the game. Twioe he
arr.ed the ball over the line after niakng
a long run. His tackling along with t
hat of Strain of the Medicos was an- ?
ither feature.
