president Andrew d. White. of
Cornell University, and S. d. Holli-
day, the attorney for the Board of
Trustees, had a conference with Hi
ram Sibley, which resulted in Presi-
dent White signing a contract in
behalf of the university by which the
institution accepts Mr.. Sibbly's ad-
ditional gift of $4,000. The agree
ment is that Mr. Sibley is to furnish
$35, 900 to be used in building an
addition to the mechanics art struc-
ture, which will cost $50, 900 and will
be finished next fall and that the
university shall perpetrate as a fund
for the benefit of the mechanics art
building the sum of $4,000 which
Mr.. Sibley gives as an endowment
fund, the income of which shall be
used in paying salaries of professors
of that department and defraying
other expenses"
The munifcent spirit thus display
ed by Mr.. Sibley adds but another
example of what true hearted philan-
trophy is capable of accomplishing.
1t was only few days ago that Mr..
Jacob Tome, of Cecil county, the
well known millionaire, made the
handsome donation of So. 900 to
a Pennsylvania Institution where
in to create scientific chair
The wonder is why do so many O
our well to do millionaires and phil
antropists go outside of their own
State to make such liberal donations.
when they have such an historic seat
of learning as St. Johns College?
The man who endows an institu-
ton of learning or benefcence is I'M
aware what passing travellers he
may entertain. These institutions
of learning are clearly associated
with useful and eloquent biogra-
ply.

THERE is nothing improbable in
the story that Mr.. Blaine offered Gen
eral Butler an important Cabinet po-
sition in the event of republican sue
cess if the Massachusetts Ex-Governor
would take the field as Presidential
candidate. Mr.. Blaine has a genius
for making promises, and as for Gen
eral Butler, his record having been
good in both parties, he could consis-
tently accept a Cabinet Office from
either. But, alas for General Ben
Bolt, he is too much of political
leopard.
