BUILDING STANDS The firemen on Monday morning spoiled the. chances of Clinton hav- ing a new CQIleglate building' when they quickly extinguished a fire which was discovered in the roof of the one which does duty at present. It wag -interesting, too, to watch the expression and listen to the con- versation of the :students.` who• were gathered about. These gave .some idea of, tl'T character' and ambitions of. "the several stut}ents. The .ex- pressions varied from that of stolid 'indifference "to that° of: consternation. It was plain that some,weie worried as they contemplated the consetfhen- ces of the-destroying'o'f the hone or their intellectual combats, while it was just as plain that some 'regarded it as a huge joke and that they were able to smile at the„con'sternation'.of the others. The snatches of con- versation were dust as varied. "Let her burn." exclaimed one happys. go -lucky- student, "Wouldn't she make a dandy blaze?" But the fire- men worked on, as firemen have the habit of doing, until the,; last' spark was extinguished and as a' conse- quence hardly half an hoar was, lost of the"precious study time, DEATII OF S.
