Four Young Men Successfally Contend Against Experts at Columbian Uni- versity. Four young men who are members of the Post-graduate school of Columbian Uni- versity participated in a doctorate disputa- tion today as a part of their course, pre- liminary to receiving the degree of doctor of philosophy. All four of them had passed the uecessary examinations for the degree, and all that remained for them to do was to successfully sustain some adopted Posi- tion in their particular lines of work against three men who are recognized au- thorities in the subject. The exercises today consiste’ of the reaa- ing of theses by the four candidates in the riper a of the judges. At the conclusion of each thesis the applicant’s position was | attacked by the experts, and he was com- pelled to take care of himself as best he | could. Sometimes ‘the arguments became j Quite spirited, and the young men were sub- mitted to a very trying ordeal. They all acquitted themselves in a most satisfactory manner and showed such thorough fa- miliarity with their subjects and such deep research as to call forth the liberal com- n-endation of the judges. There were only a few people present as spectators, for the theses were all so deep and technical as hardly to have been comprehensible to the average listener. The subjects and dispu- tants were as follows: :,,“Hlements of Unity in the Homerie ; Poems,” by Edward Farquhar, before Rev. ‘Prof. Carl E. Grammer, Prof. Dr, Daniel | Quinn and the Rev.

Show the Camera Club. The best work shown at the exhibition of the local photographers’ association, now on at the Cosmos Club, is that of Miss Frances Benjamin Johnston. It is surpris- ingly varied, and in each kind it is admir- able. Genre work, out-of-door scenes and Portraits are equally excellent. A scene at the Washington market is particularly good, and not less notable is a picture of a beautiful St. Bernard dog. The platinum awe most effective, though so iheult of execution—is a favorite with this | artist, who has earned for herself the Tepu- tation of the best woman photographer in this country. Her photorraphs taken by flash-light in mines and underground caves are remarkable. Mr. Max Hansmann’s work at the Camera Club's show is also worthy of high praise. > si icions of Foul Play. ‘The state's attorney has decided to ex- hume and hold an inquest over the remains of Mark Butle>, who was recently found dead with half his face shot away.
