1t is thought by the knowing ones that by
the time the proposed new summer theater is
ready-the progress being SO slow and sure
the most sanguine observers do not expect its
completion before the snow fiies-the ener-
getic management will experience a change
of heart and decide to convert the airy build
ing into warm and comfortable winter
structure. This will take time, and by the
time the change is effected, summer will
again be on hand.
Thus will the working people be benefited,
and the city will not be overdone so far as
places disbursement are concerned.

A reporter, young man who was in at
tendance at the military encampment at New
Ulm, beat the record during his stay at that
little city, so far as covering an encampment
at the earliest possible moment.
He arrived there early in the morning, and,
not wearied in the least by his trip, he set
to work to get all the facts and figures con-
nected with the encampment. By the noon
hour he had all the necessary information.
and had not only written but had filed in the
telegraph office his account of the days pro-
ceedlngs that was to appear in the next
morning issue of his ST. Paul paper.
The telegraph editor at the home office, on
coming to the Office early in the afternoon,
found the dispatch of the New Ulm encamp-
ment, which carried it through even unto the
going to bed of the soldiers. He marveled,
and prepared it.

young woman law student the college ever
had smacks of that spirit
Finally, the parallel between the two dis
tinguished presidents is continued in the
reasons for their resignation. Noah Porter,
too, resigns because he is getting on in years
He confessas, however that he is not CON
scious of any failure in either mental or
physical strength. At the banquet rendered
him at Delmonico's New York, by the Yale
alumni, on the occasion of his resignation.
he said he wished to free the college from
the vulnerable point due to the old age of its
president 1t shows his single hearted desire
for the best interests of his alma mater
Yale has prospered famously during the
fifteen years administration of President
Porter. The first year he held office the
number of students was 500: it is now ,076.
When he took charge thers were seventy one
instructors; there are now ia President
Porter will leave in the Yale college treas
ury fund of 81, 155, 7O5 an increase of over
IS per cent during his term of office Eight
new buildings have been added as well Yale
is rich and prosperous
DR.. Porter does not go in very strongly
for what is called the ''new education" that
is the substitution more largely of scientific
and practical studies for the old classical
and mathematical course and the permit
ting students to choose one out Of a dozen or
more lines of study In this he differs from
the tendency of our time. But he IS in favor
of plentiful religious instruction
All will see him leave the presidency of
Yale with regret He still retains the pro
fessorship of metaphysics and moral philoso-
ply He occupied this chair when he was
chosen president. He simply, therefore, re
turns to his Old place He has been in his
life schoolmaster, preacher, professor and
college president He was principal editor
OF the revision of Webster's dictionary He
has written much and well on various sub
iects. In resigning his presidency DIR.
Porter has no notion of beng shelved.
While lie is alive upon earth he says hs
expects to work for Yale.

A Bad Indian.

When Hon. Carl Schurz was secretary Of
the interior, in ons of his reports he charac-
terizss the Apaches as bad Indians" That
was several years ago They have not i'm
proved in behavior since. For year and
a half Chief Geronimo and his band of
Apaches have been terrorizing the south
west. The exact number of braves he had
with him cannot, of course, be exactly
known, but it was between twenty and
thirty. Over tract Of country as large as
gooisized state these redskins have been
roaming, stealing cattle, horses and food,
and numbering and destroying. They knew
the country like fox They were brave
cunning, remorseless and untiring. After
committing robbery or a murder they fed
like the wind, and took refuge in some OF
the mountain Businesses they knew SO well
If pursued too hotly, a few hours fast and
furious riding took them over the border in
to old Mexico, where they were safe from
the United States soldlery, at least for the
time. They were well armed and well
mounted. For months, years even, they
have been a red vengeance on our border.
1t was the task of the lamented Capt.
Emmett Crawford to pursue and capture

The construction of an ice yacht is very
simple, as you see. Two strong light tim

the end of each arm and at the foot steel
skate or runner is fixed The skate at the

DR.. Baker was called to Moore's lodg-

yesterday morning to attend to a man
who had taken large dose of opium.
After a good deal of effort the man was
restored to consciousness and seemingly
put beyond danger. He stated that he
had taken the drug to relieve the pain
of violent attack of neuralgia and not
with suicidal intent. His name is Ed
win A. Clark, ana at the beginning of

was Sergeant of Company /, 9Th

discharged, the order being signed at

mac at Arlington Heights.

by Coroner Mcfarland at 9 o'clock
The deceased is about 81 years old, of
dark complexion, and belonged to the

that deceased came to his death from an
over dose of opium administered by him
