More Suspicious Things,

W. II. SHclHirc III OXtOru preSS.
a reference to the college report of 1865
page ~, will show that the west ,rn farm
was purchased for SIS. 1906. This is tor
high figure by 50, 900; and the truth of
the matter is this. The farm is situated
in Indiana county and was purchased from
Harry White, esq. not for the above men,
toned sum, but, in round numbers, for
$4,000. The law of Congress forbids the
use of any money directly or indirectly
Tor the erection or repair of buildings. I
distinctly recollect having heard this men
toned before! But how easy to "whip
the old boy around tho stump
line trustees decided to have the deed
for the farm made out for $4,000 more
than the actual purchase figure, and this
was accordingly done. This $4,000 was ex-
pended in building. in plain violation of
the law. 1t would be interesting to see
the receipts for the money that went for
this farm. In the treasurer's report the
items run about as follows: on account
50, 600, Oil account IS, 900, recording deed
$3.50. stamps So, on account 50, 900, on ac-
count 81 600, OH account S1,113.55. The
last two items were undoubtedly used for
proposes; and the SO paid for
stamps proves one of two things-either
ncle Sam was cheated out of dollar. or |
:hc deed was recorded for SIG, ,OOO-for if |
NY memory serves me the rate at which |
documents were stamped was 80 cents Der
thousand.
This is not the only deception used in
eference to this farm. 1t ceased to be an
Experimental farm several years ago, and
as been rented On the shares but the
enter is still catalogucd as its suparin-
endent. The plea is that the farm must
drained and put in order before it is fit !

The ApportiOn,nent Bill just.

New York Times Rep.
The total population of the United
states, exclusive of Territories and the
District Of Columbia, is 49. 1863. .295. OF
this 30, 8G5, 800, or about G2. SO per cent
belongs to the Northern States according
to the division adopted above, and 1S, 504,
2o1, Or about 3!.4S per cent, to the South
crn States. The apportionment provided
for in the pending bill gives 19s or about
62.34 per cent, of the 3O7 to the North.
and 115, or about 1916 per cent to the
South. This is obviously very
close approximation to an accurate
representation by population, the slight
balance Of advanoagc being on the North
erH side. With 319 as the total. the North
would have 200, or g.. go per cent. of the
whole, and the South 119, or 1881 per
cent of the whole. Thus it will be seen
that aside from the question Of an unde-
Srable increase Of members the pending
bill provides for the more equitable appor-
tionment. Under these circumstances.
We sec no ground on which serious opposi- |
ion is to be defended, to say nothin. of
my filibustering tactics intended to de-
eat the measure if the majority APPEARS
% be in its favor.

" DREAMS."

iiho EGonih's Sparks at the Opera House
People who went down to Fulton Opera
house last evening for the purpose Of in
iuiSinS iii good laugh were afforded an
excellent opportunity of permitting their
riSlbilltics play in the performance of
! Willie E!ouins Sparks company. From
the time the curtain rolled nm

there was one uninterrupted flow of mirtl,
That became almost tircsOms by the very
extravaSance that characterized it. No
words of description could convey an in

ited by merry party Of his children ON

sleep over Il glass o; hot totlly, and in his
siunber he dreams all the wild nonsense.
that succeeds the first fall Of the curtain.
ANY person can dream anything, and thu,
author OF this absurt!ity, ,eddity, or by what
ever other title the conccit may be de-
slgnatcd, has not failed to avail himself or
the license afforded by this fact. Since
intelligent description is out of the aues-
ton, it must suffice to say that the
acting OF Willie Edouin was grotesaue-
ly funny throughout, but perhaps
none OF MS performances during the cven-
1hs inspired more genuine merri-
