Delinquent Subscribers Altoona
man was sued the other day by Chi
cago publisher, for six years subscrip-
ton. The delinquent subscriber neg
lected to notify the publisher to discon-
tinue the paper and therefore made him-
self liable under the newspaper law. He
paid the amount. 1t would have been
better for him to have saved trouble and
expense by notifying the publisher when
he wanted the paper discontinued rath-
er than to have the paper to come on
year after year, the publisher not know
ing whether he is living or dead. Some
subscribers seem to forget that an editor
is not omniscient. If they want to let
him know that they want his paper,
they should remit the amount of sub
scription promptly. If they don't want
the paper, send notice to that effect or
have the postmaster do so.

Burglary in Newport. Ion Friday night
burglars entered the warehouse of Jones
Bros, in Newport, and attempted to
rob the safe. They drilled hole in the
top and the charge of powder they put
in, blew the outer safe door to pieces,
and badly damaged the inner door,
1t is not known whether they succeeded
in getting the money out or not. They
may have had that door open and shut
it again, breaking off the knob and
destroying the combination.
The noise of the explosion had been
deadened by placing wet blankets on
the safe and piling bags of clover seed
around it. Still the explosion was heard
by several parties. In boat lying by
the warehouse a man was sleeping, who
was awakened, but they had taken the
precaution to fasten him in, so he could
not get out to give the alarm. The
combination to the inner door is so
badly damaged that the safe will have
\ to be sent to the manufacturers before
the books or contents can be got at, or it
will be known whether the money is
there or not.

CAPTAIN HowG ArE's METHODS.

Captain Howgate appears to have fol-

BAD MANNERS AND WORSE SENSE.

We find it stated in San Francisco
journal that when President Reid of the
State University, came to speak, in the
course of his address, of the undue import
ance ascribed TO the ancient classics, he
was very rudely interrupted by some of
the students who were in attendance.
cat this point" says the contemporary
from whom we quote, the students, who
chad been growing restless under the
Presidents structures on tie Latin and
Greek curriculum, broke out into d pro-
longed hiss, greatly disconcersing the
"speaker." Precisely what these callow
youths were offended by is not very clearly
indicated. Are the public to understand
that their profound understanding of the
Greek and Latin languages had so imbued
them with reverence for classical literature
that they could not endure any depreciation
OF their favorite studies? Or did they hiss
the President merely to show their
natural affinity with geese? Or to make it
apparent that whatever else may have
been taught hitherto at the State Univer-
sity, manners had been entirely neglected !?
This exhibition on the part of the students,
or any portion of them, was most dis
oreditable to them, and showed how very
raw these young men still are They
could not possibly be capable Of forming
an intelligent Judgment on the views ex-
pressed by the President, but they might
have behaved like gentlemen. It is Ger.
tainly not surprising that Mr. Reid was
disconnected by the Kissing, for he could
not be supposed to have known that the
students of the University were emulous
of the reputation OF hoodlums. We
fear it must be admitted, after such an ex-
hibition OF bad manners and worse sense,
that the discipline of the University in
the past has been inexcusably neglected.

TIE PRESIDENT.

Yesterday the knife was used on the

mutation of pus was found there, and the
operation seems 10 have produced no last
ing i'll effects, though the patients pulse
went up sfter it. His stomach continued
to receive and retain nourishment; the
wound gave no trouble; and but for the
serribla exhaustion the day would have
been al encouraging one. The doctors
however arr scarcely holding their OVID,
and as yet no enc knows what the suppu-
ration in the rebellious gland will amount
to. 1t must add to thu causes of weak
ness, in any event, and it does not seem
possible thus ar to build up the Presidents
strength. The rise of pulse and tempera.
ture last night indicate increased exhaus-
tion, ii nothing worse. The case therefore
is as much in suspense as ever, and it can
not be said that the chances Of the pat e t
are any better than twenty four hours ago.

late war. If we may judge from the re-
suits of the London race, the cause of the
constant failures of the Cornell crew is a
very open secret. The plain deduction
from their action on that occasion is that
they did not possess the capacity to row
with their opponents, and this also, We are
inclined to think, was the true explanation
of their Austrian collapse. The Cornells
have not shown any ability anywhere, in
fact, and it is tolerably clear that they
made great mistake in going to Europe.
1t is possible that there was treachery in
