The reporter was referred by the slender young man
down stairs where he met Dr. Hylton he entering
the hall. Again ascending the staircase he was shown
into goodslzed apartment side Of which was lined
with shelves filled with bottles Of preserved fGt,
tumors, and other nauseatng specimens. Seating
himself on q bench, the reporter took an obscrva-
ton OF the distinguished professor OF Chemis-
try Dr. Hyton, in STYLE Is exceedingly similar to Dr.
Buchanan the President Of the College, before described

tenance is his nose which Is rubcund and shiny His
hair pale yellow, as are also his eyes, which arc de-

dressed at the time in bluethanne sack coat, with
brown vest and trousers the latter very baggy at tne
knees He wore dirty shirt, and paper collar An anti
Quated plug hat, Of the smacrown pattern, completed
his costume The conversation opened by the DOC

At this point the Doctor becoming quite conAden-

with a sharp face and weak eyes effected striking
change in his dcmeanor The new conner took a seat
upon loose bench which he tipped back, and elevated
his heels on the bench before him. He had the same
colored hair as the Professor Of Chemistry, and bore
some family resemblance to him. 1t no surprise to

More conversation Of similar nature ensued In which

The reporter turned take his leave and escorted
to the door by Dr. Hyton, who said. at parting, with

The recent agitation and unpleasant notorety given to
the selling Of diplomas had evidently rendered the Pro
fessor cautious though the less anxious TO con-
nue the traffic. Indeed 1t has been boasted by the
President of College that the exposition in THE TRIB

| hundreds of dollars In their pockets.
Previous to leaving DR.. Hyton quietly asked the re-
porters address, and handed card inscribed: ed
ward A. Bgeow, Hamburg Pa" Thinking that the
Professor had been somewhat intimidaed by the pres
ence of Bob, and disposed TO treat further, the
porter wrote to his correspondent in Hamburger, asking
him to forward to THE TRIBUNE ofco any letter that
might come for Mr. Bigelow from Philadelphia In due
