ANOTHER UNPAID BILL.
As might have been anticipated, yesterday
morning found Prof. Starr, the Inherent mi
croscopist, still on the ragged edge as to his
pay. He had finished his engagement on Mon
day evening and presented his bill early next
morning. The delay rendered him suspicious
as to the final outcome, which suspicious were
increased when it came to his ears that Objec-
tions were made to the high price charged. BY
III o'clock the rumor had gained currency that
the professor was having trouble about his
pay, and the GLOBE forthwith interviewed
him. The professor frankly stated he had not
been paid, and that objections, as above stated,
had been made. After considerable conversa-
tion he stated thathis bill, including expenses,
was originally for $685. but that he had

managers if they had the money to pay him,
as he didn't care for their resources, but
whether he could get his pay. He had been
told Gilmore had no money and finally con-

GLOBE: rs Gilmore man of means, or a
mean man?'
Later in the day, Secretary Allen and the
Prof. met and the bill was paid and the Prof.

mind Imaginable. Bro. Allen was also
interviewed to his version of the
facts, and stated there had been no trouble

lecturers were in an uneasy state Of mind and
were kept in that condition an unnecessarily
long time.
THE AFTERNOON.
The afternoon exercises did not vary from
the usual course tho lecture being by Rev.
