1t is Mr.. Corbin This Time Max
ing a Fool Of Himself.

New YORK. July 23.-Austin COrbin,
President OF the Manhattan Beach Rail
way Company, which owns the Man
haitian Hotel on Coney Island, was re-
ported Yesterday morning TO have said
in substance that no Jews were wanted
on his cars, or in his hotel He admit
ted to-day that he had said something to
that effect, and declared that the mass
of the Jews who visit COney Island are
dsagreeable, and drive away a better
class of visitors. Mr. Corbin's action
has revived the dispute that arose
over Judge Hilton's exclusion Of the
Jews from his Saratoga hotel two sum-
mers ago. Mr.. Clarence L. Moulton,
one OF the Directors of the Manhattan
Beach Railroad, said to-day that the
news of Mr.. Corbin's decision was a sur
prise to him. Jesse Seligman, the bank
er, brother OF Jos. Seligman, who was
excluded by Judge Hilton, said Of Mr..
Corbin's action: at is beneath my no.
tice." Other leading Jewish bankers
and business men made like expressions.
Mr.. Corbin says he does not care If he
loses the Jews trade he can get better
in its place. Other hotel-keepers are
divided IN opinion. The matter is dis
cussed all over the city, and il bids fair
to arouse some OF the bitterness excited
by Judge Hilton's action. The Man
haitian is one Of the two largest hotels on
COney Island, and many Jews have
heretofore resOrted there.

OF the West Virginia State Uni
verSity.

The Board of Regents OF the West
Virginia State University were in ses-
sion at Morgantown on Tuesday, with
Messrs. Johnson, Allen, Morrow, Hall,
Stewart, Semmes, Lucas and Brock
present. Col. ID. d. Johnson, OF the
Board, was in the city last night on his
way home To Tyler county, and REGIS
TER representative obtaiued from him
the principal business transacted by the
Board, which is given below. DIR. Hall
and Col. Johnson have, by the way,
lately been appointed as then own sue
cessors in the Board.
ID. ID. johnson was reelected Presi-
dent Of the Board, and Dr. Brock Sec
retary.
Mr.. w. o. Ison, sou of a Methodist
minister who resides at Oakland, Md,
and q graduate of the University, was
elected an assistant in the Preparatory
Department, and commander of the
Cadets in connection with the Univer-
Sity. j. NJ. Lee, of Hancock county,
and j. j, Peterson, OF Weston, were the
unsuccessful candidates for the position.
The Chair of Chemistry and Physics,
lately held by Prof. W. NJ. Fontaine,
and made vacant by the resignation OF
that gentleman 10 accept position in
the faculty of the Virginia University,
was not filled; but the branches taught
BY him were distributed to the other
members Of the faculty. .-.f
D...1-.. II,
to NIL the chair of Law and Equity.
Prof, PurintOn was transferred to the
chair of Mathematics.
Resolutions were adopted regretting
to part with Prof. FOntaine, and ex
pressed confidence in him as a compe-
tent instructor and respect for his lofty
character as Christian man.
IL was also resolved that the members
OF the cadet corps who complete the
course and graduate shall be presented
with the text books furnished by the
State for their use while in college.
IL was decided To charge no tuition
fee fOr students preparing for the minis
try, but 10 admit them on payment of
the matriculatiOn fee only. \ further
proposition was made To include the
NpllS VI IlAuloltIS bl the NbSptl ICSltllliE
in the State in this provision, but the
Board refused 10 take such action.
No other business Of importance was
transacted.
Col. Johnson is of the opinion that
the prospects for the increased useiul-
ness Of the State University are bright.
He sees encouraging signs in his travels
through the State, aud is inclined to
think that the attendance next year
will be larger than ever before. The
cadet corps, it is predicted, will be full
upon its reorganization. The visit OF
the uniformed cadets 10 their homes in
the different sections Of the State dur
ing the vacation will have the effect of
advertising the institution and OF arous-
ingthe military ardor in the bosoms of
other youths, who will recruit the ranks
to their full quota. 1t is 10 be hoped
that this prediction may be realized.
The exercises OF military drill and dis
cipline are very desirable, and the spirit
among the young men of the State to
more generally avail themselves of the
opportunities offered them at the State
University is 10 be fostered.
