Warming Up n Female Minstrel Show.
 Ithaca Special

Last night the Mime. Mentz Female Minstrels gave an entertainment at Will gus Hall, and about 200 students who were in attendance tried to break it up. During the first part of the performance the shouts, cat-calls and horn blasts grew so fierce that the manager was com pelled to ring down the curtain, but on the protestations of the students that they would thereafter remain quiet the cui tain was raised and the performance resumed. When the last piece-a Pima fore burlesque-was attempted the noise became so loud that the singers could not be heard the whole mass of students joining and singing Cornell version of Pinafore at the tops of their voices. The town roughs, who formed large portion of the audience, became angry at the proceedings, and commenced an assault on the students. Chairs and benches were broken, eyes were blackened and heads pummeled, and, to add to the con fusion, the gas was eXtlngulshed. A rush was then made for the street. and the fighting continued. The police ar rested a freshman, and after a severe struggle got him to the lock-up. Several attempts were made by the students to rescue him, but each time they were prevented by the police and the young men of the town. After considerable wrangling trial was held. The fresh- man was fined $50, and on President Russell becoming surety for fine the offender was borne off in triumph by the students. Until late hour last night occasional fights occurred between townsmen and gownsmen, great many sore heads and bleeding noses resulting theretrom. Three or four students were carried of insensihle or bleeding, and a great number of both parties were badly beaten with clubs, although no one was fatally injured It is thought that the matter will not end here, as both sides are thirsting for revenge, and it is far to presume that the wranghng will con tinue for some time,

The Manufacture of corsats

Formerly all corsets sold by merchants in this country came from Europe. So late as 1867 there were but four factories in the United states-two in Massachu- setts and the remainder in this city. One of them belonged to Isaac Strous, the other to Harmon X Baldwin. The capital of the four concerns did not ex- ceed $50, 900, nor furnish employment to more than 300 persons. Now there are twenty factories in the country, using a capital of S1,S0o,000, and employing more than 10000 operatives. Nine of these are located in this city, six in Bir- mingham and two in Bridgeport. The nine factories here represent capital of S75,000 and employ 4,500, who are paid Sl00,000 monthly. The daily production of the twenty factories is estimated at 1S0,00g, which is. equivalent to a product of 54,000,000 corsets in the United States, allowing 300 working day to the year. These statistics, which are largely within bounds, show the benefits of protection. When an ad yalorem tariff was imposed on corsets the business here was small and importations large. The attention of Hon. S. w. Kellogg, then our Repre- sentative in Congress, was called to the subject, and tat gentleman secured the passage of an act Imposing speclnc uuty of g per dozen on foreign corsets. This protection gave confidence to capitalists, and the business increased and flourish ed. One Parisian manufacturer has built up large establishment in this country, two heavy importers have each started factories here, and all of them buy their low priced stock from Ameri- can makers, instead of sending their orders to Europe as formerly. Fears are occasionally expressed by croakers that the business is overdone, or soon will be. Of this there is no immediate danger
 The production has not yet caught up
 with the domestic consumption. All the provinces of Canada are supplied by
 American factories, and brisk export trade to South America and the West
 Indies has begun with every prospect oi considerable increase.

 tried to refuse, but was so weary of living with mother-in-law, that at last we three slipped out of the house; and dear Dr. S-, who had baptized me, married me to Frank, and knew Herbert well, married us.
 We drove back and reached the front door as the family were returning. Julia, who would appropriate Herbert, stepped forward.
 "Good evening, Mir. Halstead. So you met Kate on the steps? StrangeW-with glance at me, as if had planned to meet him.
 Not at all Miss Julia," said Herbert, My wife and just called to receive your congratulations and to leave little Midget here few days"
 No tableaux have ever seen was half so comical as the one those three made. l really felt for Julia, for knew she cared for Herbert. She gained self pos session quickly, and congratulated me, whispering as she kissed me:
 "So you asked hlm?"
 My husband heard ard answered.
 No, Miss Juha, she didn't ask me. Through other means, thank God, l learned the one I loved was unhappy; and, as hoped, for more than year past, to soon ask her to be my wife, l persuaded her to marry me at once. Leap year privileges are still open for those who choose to use them"
 We are quite an old couple now: for three years have passed, but Herbert and still often laugh over Nellie's leap year proposal.

The Paper Tarif.

The newspaper industry IS one of the largest, one of the most necessary. and one of the most valuable in the country. Yet it is shackled and constrained by an absurd tariff system, which puts it in the power of the paper manufacturer to levy an immense tax on the public jour- nals, to the injury not alone of the news papers but of the whole reading public. The paper manufacturers allege as pre- text for their inordinate exactions that they have to pay a high duty on articles necessary for paper-making, say soda ash, caustic soda, belting, alum and ul- tramarine. But the tariff on these arti- cles is no higher now than if was during the era of low prices, and the whole amount Of these articles import ed last year was S1,lS1 900, of which only part was imported for the use of papermakers. To take away this pretext these articles might be placed on the free list But the real trouble is in the protective duty on pa per. If there were only a moderate rev enue duty on foreign paper, the newspa- pers and book publishers could protect themselves against the combinations of the newspaper monopolists. As 1t is, they are not permitted to have access to the vast supplies of Europe. The power to force unhealthy fluctuations in the price of newspapers-fluctua which are ruinous to the business of journal ism-or to plunder the newspaper pulp fishers at willis put by law in the hands of the paper-makers. Now the newspapers propose not to submit to the extortion if they can help it. They will probably demand a repeal of the duty on 'unsized printing paper-that is to say, they will urge the passage of the bill for that purpose introduced by Mir. Fort, of Illinois. Perhaps the general revolt of the press against the tyranny of the paper-makers' may bring those gentlemen to their senses, as it did some years ago, when they attempted an en- terprise similar to that in which they are now engaged. But, whether this is the effect or not, we call on our Senators and Representatives in Congress to sup port and work for the repeal of the oner- ous, destructive and ruinous tariff on un- sized printing paper.

His mind is that of a lively, in-


 telligent young woman. He can appre- ciate fact with clearness of perception that does honor to his understanding, and his practical good~~sense IS much greater than his To coIn7 mand his attention it is necessary to show him some solid advantage, and he is by no means disposed to over-estimate fine words and varnish. A person who wishe q him success went to congratulate him immediately after his proclamation as King of Spain, and found him rather puzzled than impressed by what had happened. "It is all well and good,D he said, ito call me Sire and tell me am a sovereign, but 1 have yet received no. money, and I do not quite know what to make of this business. A King without mouey will never do" His Majesty, having delivered himself of this senti- ment without the smallest embarass- ment, seemed to rely on his visitor to confirm the sober truth it.
 The same utter want of reticence be- longs to most of his conversation, and is exceedingly winning. He makes no at- tempt to deceive anybody, and has none of the traditional Bourbon duplicity which has been so fatal to monarchy. He makes his wants and his weaknesses known to all whom they may concern, and talks of most of his most private affairs with confidence quite refresh- ing. He is assuredly a warm-hearted man, incapable of saying an unkind thing or doing harsh one.

AGE OF THE HUMAN RACE. a
Prof. Paige Predicts Freeze of 1e,eo0


 Ina lecture thesother evening at Lake View, H., Professor Paige developed, among many other strong theories, the rapidly-growing belief that the great ice periodthat ground the rocks into soil had been attributed to tune too remote in the earth's history. He said it had been the quite universally accepted opinion that the great ice caps were formed by reason of changed cosmic re- lations. Itwas known that the eccen- tricity of thea ,earth's path around the son was subject, at long periods, to con siderable change, resulting in carrying the earth out from the sun some l5,0Q0,- GOO of miles farther at times than now. The earth's great aphelion, together with changed conditions attributable to the procession of the equinox. was be- heved to have produced the great peri ods of ice in the past. 70 aJa
 From this standpoint of reckoning Clifford claims man to have been on earth 2,O00,000 years. The Professor said he believed the modern tendency of thought was in favor of different view During the winter in our north ern hemisphere we are 25,000,O00 miles nearer to the sun thanin summer. This helps to equalize our climate, rendering the winters much more mild, and the summers heat far less than it would be if the conditions were reversed. In the southern hemisphere the exact reverse state of conditions exists They are nearer the sun in summer and further offin winter. sssaaa iu Isq2a sa !
 They have cold winters and hot sum mers. At the south pole there is vast excess of ice over that of the north pole The vast accumulation of ice at the south pole attracts the waters of the ocean, changing the equilibrium of the earths center, moving the equator to the south, drawing off the waters of the north pole toward the south poie. This accounts for the clearly noticeable sub sidence of waters in the. north, and for the fact that there is but little dry land in the southern hemisphere.
 ] If the ages office can be charged up to these causes, 9 glacial period is approach ing in the southern hemisphere, and win be at it's greatest height in about 5,500 years. The last period of ice in the northern hemisphere. is also of equally recent date, occurring probably about 5000 years ago. e If these recent views proved correct, there would be a recurrence of the ice period in about 16,000 years in the northern hemisphere. It was probably safe to say that man had not existed more than 50,000 or 100000 years. e~s 44naI .l. vs.

Two Thousand Dollars stolen on a Train
 Mysteriously Returned to Hotel Guest.
 -l'l-- 4p { Globe Democrat. a"a'f
 Mir. Freeman Barnum, manager of the Hotel Barnum, related to a ,Globs-De crat reporter last night the details of an affair which was possessed of an air of mystery decidedly peculiar. .-.,..y
 On Wednesday afternoon there arriv- ed at the Hotel Barnum a gentleman named B. V. Brooks, resident of Cleve- land, O., who was on his way home, ac- companied by his wife, from a visit to New Orleans, whichsclty they lett Tues day evening. Mir. Rocks stated that himself and wife occupied through Pullman sleeping car, and'on retiring on Tuesday night he placed under bis pill low i'll his berth a red leather pocket book containing s2,000 in bills of the denominations or $l0, $5, $1 and S2. On awaking Wednesday morning he was startled to find that the pocketbook and it's contents had disappeared. Hastily donning his clothing he reported the mat ter to the conductor and porter, and thorough search of the car was made, but without any satisfactory results. Fortunately, he had in another pocket book money enough to pay his expenses home, and he determined upon reaching the end of his journey to make an ener- getic effort to recover the stolen prop erty.fs t.1E ayRs .i7t..s.-sz t,t-sgr s.a
 Yesterday morning, as Mir. Rocks was seated in the office at the Hotel Barnum, he was approached by atall, rather seedy looking man, who asked him if he had lost any money, and, if he had, if it was true that he had offered reward of $500 for it's recovery, MT. Rocks replied that he had lost some money, and also that he had offered the above. reward for its recovery. nfs ras ,f.v s.
 Do you think you can recover it?" asked MT. Rocks. stD8 es ss&@c 8t "I think 1 can if you'll pay the $500 for it, !" replied the seedy man.

 The stranger hesitated and stammered something about the reward, when MT Rocks started tor the door to call DO. liceman, when the stranger called him back and hastily drawing the red pocket book from his breast pocket, he said

IN a recent article on the Care of Girls,

IN recent article on the Care of Girls, one of our able religious journals, the Wdtchuadn, of Boston says:
 ''The young man who wants a wife demands one of whose innocence he has absolute guarantee, whose amiability is unquestioned, and whose habits of deference is established" .,
 Given that, he secures what he thus demands" is the exchange, let us ask a fair oneP Does he bring to her, inno- cence, amiabihty and habits of defer ence? Or even compensating traits2 Not one time in fifty, we-venture, to as- sert. The pleasure-loving, tobacco-using and selfish young man of the period may continue to make demands" but not until he can keep the whiteness of hls soul as unsullied as that of the girl he seeks to marry should he obtain any but a negative answer.- Womdn's Words.

RUssELLVIE THURSDAY,

A"Here, take the money, I don't want to be arrested You can have it without paying any reward"
 As soon as MT. Rocks had taken the pocketpook the stranger left the hotel, and the former never thought of having him arrested until he had been gone for at least ten minutes. Upon opening the pocketbook $2,000 in bills, of the denom- ination named above, were found, but across the face of each was stamped the word Counterfeit" in red ink. Mr. Barnum was unable to state whether the bills were stamped before the robbery or not. MT. Rocks was evidently pleased at the recovery of his pocketbook, and left for home soon afterward without explaining the latter feature of the case.

Completion of Great Funnel.

It will be seen from our cable dis patches. that the tunnel of Mont St. Gothard, the greatest engineering work of the kind in the world, has just been finished. The object of it is to connect the railroad systems of Germany, Switz- erland and Italy, and it's construction was deemed necessary in order to offset the commercial advantages that were~ac- quired by France in the building of the Mont Cenis tunnel and Austria with her road across the Semmering, which are the connecting railroad links for those two coutries with the same portion oi Europe.
