A School of Comparative Jurispru- dence and Diplomacy to Be Established. The trustees of the Columbian University held their annual meeting yesterday at 12 o'clock. This was the first meeting of the new board under the amended charter. There was a large attendance and a deep interest manifested in the welfare of the university. President Whitman presented an annual report to the board of trustees, in which he outlined and recommended sev- eral important changes and additions. These subjects he had brought before the several committees having charge of the different schools, and as his report was read and considered he called upon the committees for reports upon the recom- mendations made. The finances received careful considera- tion and the subject of enlarging the work in certain departments was canvassed and new work organized. Great interest was felt in the academic dapartment, and it was the desire of all present to put the college upon the best basis possible. Upon the recommendation of the com- mittee, through {ts chairman, Dr. Stakeley, the ries of all the professors were equalized, and additional room will be given to the work next year. A New hool Established. The most important move taken by the university in many years was inaugurated by the establishment of a school of com- parative jurisprudence and diplomacy. At the request of the president, the commit- tee on-the law school, through its chair- man, Mr. Needham, reported an ordinance which was carefully considered and unant- mously adopted. The ordinance provides for the establishment of a school to ,be known as “the school of comparative juris- prudence and diplomacy,” the general sub- jects of study to be interstate commerce law, political history and science, Roman law, comparative constitutional law, public international law, conflict of laws, history of diplomacy and treaties, political geogra- phy in {ts relation to political history, com- parative jurisprudence, international trade, practice of diplomacy and boards of arbi- tration and proceedings therein, and such other subjects as may from time to time be recommended by the faculty. The ‘full course will be two years, The first six subjects will be covered in the first year and entitle a student who has received the degree of bachelor of laws to receive the degree of master of laws, while the student who enters for the degree and takes the full course of two years will be entitled to receive the degree in diplomacy. Students who have taken the degree of bachelor of arts, bachelor of science or bachelor of laws and such others as pass a satisfactory examination, to be arranged by the faculty, will be entitled to admission as candidates for the degree in diplomacy. Any person recommended by the dean may take the course of lectures and exam- {pation upon paying the tuition fees, but the degrees will only be conferred upon those who are duly entered for the course. The tuition fees will be the same as in the law school, $S0 per year. The faculty will consist of the president of the university, the dean and professors upon international law, diplomacy, politi- cal history and science and comparative jurisprudence. There will be distinguished lecturers upon all the subjects named, to- gether with some special course. A ‘spe- celal course will be arranged for 1898-99 for the men who have taken the two years’ course in the law school and desire to pur- sue a post-graduate course of one year for the master’s degree. ‘The purpose of this school ts to furnish a post-graduate course for men who have taken the regular three years’ course in law, treating the subjects of higher legal knowledge, especially such laws as have to Oe with the relations between communities of men, states and nations, and the settle- ment of their controversies. It is also the purpose of this course to fit men for practice before boards of inter- national arbitration and for the diplomatic service. Lectures in the second year will treat of the history of diplomacy and treaty- toaking, the political geography in its rela- tion to political history, the comparative jurisprudence of nations, international rade, showing how it is affected by diplo- iratic relations, and the constitution of international boards of arbitration and Practice before such boards, thus fitting men to render eflicient service to the United States in the diplomatic service in the enlargement of its international trade, to conduct its controverefes with other na- tions and secure peaceful settlement by arbitration. It {s expected that the school will have the services of some of the ablest lawyers and diplomats at the national capital. A New Building Ordered. ‘The second recommendation of the law committee was for the ccnstruction of a building to accommodate the schools of law, comparative jurisprudence and diplo- tracy, the building to have three lecture rcoms, two court rooms, a large library room, professors’ rooms and Other depart- ments. The board, after carefully considering the matter, adopted the recommendations and ordered the construction of the building. Mr. J. C. Hornblower was appointed ar- chitect, and will proceed immediately with the preparation of plans, a sketch of which was submitted by the committee. The building will be located upon the vacant lot belonging to the university on H street near 15th street, immediately east of the university building. The building will be completed in time for the winter course, and will give ample room for these schools of law and diplomacy. An excellent library will be provided for the work. In the adoption of these plans there was the greatest unity and enthusiasm among the trustees. President Whitman received many congratulaticns upon his adminis- tration and the progressive work which he has inaugurated. ———ee Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been tssued as fol- low!

ANNUAL BANQUET. . — ‘Woman's Law Class Entertains at Cabin John Inn. ‘The Woman's Law Class held its annual banquet last evening at Cabin John Inn. ‘The occasion was memorable as being the last gathering of the class under its name of Woman's Law Class.

R. Bailey responded to “Love From a Legal Standpoint.” Miss R, Flora Ray- mond’s response to “The Passing of the Woman's Law Class” was the occasion of some bright hits aimed particularly at the gentleman of the faculty, and was roundly applauded. Mrs. Munroe called upon the dean of the faculty, Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, tc speak to “Our Future,” and upon Miss Gillett and Mr. Newton, also of the faculty, to speak, respectively, to ‘The Liberal Edveation of Women” and “The Pleasures of Teaching.” Miss Gillett said ‘the legal education of women would be a liberal edu- cation to men, which sentiment was heart- ily indorsed by the class and its guests.

His face was so deeply creased with Time's furrows that even the week's growth of beard on it couldn’t hide them. There was a perceptible limp to his right leg and an angry scar started below his right ear and ran down undiminished un- der his collar. “I'm too old fur this un,” he remarked, regretfully, as a party of Rhode Island volunteers, on leave from Camp Alger, came swinging along, “but I've got er boy in it he continued, proudly, ‘an’ so th’ fambly's repersented all rite, all rite. ‘See- in’ as how Gen’l Miles took er possylin bath tub erlong ‘ith him toe ther front re- remines me of whut Tom—that’s my boy— says when he wuz startin’ over toe camp tother day. ‘Pap,’ he says ter me—he allus calls me “pap'’—‘Pap,’ he says ‘how’m I gcin’ ter wash myse’f when I gets in camp?’ ““Tom,’ says I, ‘you Jest wash in ther crick nighest tce your tent.’ : “‘An' what'll I dry myse’f on?

The District Commissioners today, in a report made by them to Chairman Babcock of the House District committee on House till 10,395, to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Anacostia or Eastern branch of the Potomac river on a line with Ist street southwest, expressed the opinion that it is inadvisable, unless means are taken to provide for its prompt completion. ‘The Commissioners state that the con- struction of this bridge was reported upon adversely by Maj. Davis of the Engineer Corps of the army, in charge of the im- prevements of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, In January, 1806. “It is belleved,” say the Commissioners, “inadvisable to inaugurate the construction of this bridge without taking means to provide for its prompt completion. If Con- gress, however, considers it advisable and proper to pass the inclosed bill (10,395), at- tertion 1s Invited to the fact that it con- tains an appropriation of but $300,000 to do the work, which was estimated in time of peace to cost $779,000, and that cost 1s likely to be increased during war times.” —_———_—_ PRESIDENT TO OFFICIATE.

Former Senator Brice Must Pay for Fancy Work. Former Senator Calvin 8. Brice did not appear before Justice McComas in Circuit Court No. 2 yesterday when Mrs. Mary W. Paxton’s suit against him came to trial. Nor did Mrs. Brice appear, for the reason that she fs disqualified to testify in her husband's behalf. Instead of both, Mr. T. Sanford Beatty Was present and gave evidence. A verdict was given for the plaintiff. Mrs. Paxton sued Mr. Brice for $428.50, alleging that he owes her that amount for hemming and embroidering lace tea cloths, table Cloths, napkins and other fine house linen. Mr. Brice once tendered Mrs, Pax- ton $288 in the office of the clerk of the court in full payment, claiming that her charge was excessive and that others had offered to do the work for the sum he tendered her. She refused, and the case went on the calendar. Mr. Beatty testified that, directed by Mrs. Brice, he went to various stores in this city and obtained bids for the fancy work. He stated the amounts. Mrs. Paxton testified that Mrs. Brice or- dered the work to be done and that it cost her over $300 simply for the embroidering, which was done by a New York expert, and that in addition she had to do the hem- ming. She deciared her bill was not ex- cessive. Her counsel also submitted a deposition from the expert in New York, stating the amount of the embroidery bill. Representatives from Woodward & Lo- throp, the Palais Royal, the Decorative Art Association and other places in this city testified as to the bids they made for the work, the highest of them being $288. The entire day was spent in the hearing of evidence and the arguments of counsel. Howe Totten and J. 8. Flannery repre- sented the plaintiff and Berry & Minor the defendant. ——-_ —_ Brightwood Road Extension.
