A Suggestion.

To the Editor ofthe JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The article in Saturdays COURIER on the
Yale Art school revived in my mind a
thought which had long lain dormant there.
1t seems to me that an institution like
Yale, which prides itself on the far-reaching
influence of its superior advantages, might,
with benefit, open its gallery of fine arts at
least one day in each week for the free ad-
mission of the public, and even then be less
generous than certain well known museums
in New York, where an entrance fee is
charged only two days in the week.
There are many people in this city who, if
the opportunity were given them of visiting
picture gallery without paying, would de-
ightedly avail themselves of the privilege.
In this way the love of Art might be awak-
enea in the untutored and would surely be
nurtured in those already possessing it: in
terest in the school would be widened and
doubtless turned to the profit of that worthy
institution. Why cannot the spowers that
be" rouse themselves to this small act of phi
lanthropy and no longer allow it to be said
that the only chance freely given dweller
in this fair and re ,owned city of seeing now
and then good p sinting is by one or two of
our picture dealers.

At the recent meeting of the British asso
citation at Birmingham, England, Mr.. A. H.
Dyke-Acland, M. P, gave an account OF
workingmen's cooperative organizations in
Great Britain, with the view of ascertaining
how far their development during the last
twenty years throws light on the possibility
of the accumulation of large sums of capital
by workingmen; the possibility of the sue
cessful utilization of such capital by working
men in industrial enterprise; and the i'm
provement of the position of the worker, or
the lessening of the antsgonism of employer
and employed, in consequence of such utili-
zation of capital. At the present time these
cooperative stores of distributive societies
do a business of considerably over EGO, ,000,-
600 year. The difficulty with many socie-
ties is too much capital, and large sums are
now lying idle in the banks. The failures of
the cooperative productive societies were ad-
mitted and explained. The most cheering,
nay, glowing, accounts were given of ordi-
nary cooperative trading. From e15, ZOO to
100000 per year is spent by the societies in
different forms of education.
Ex-senator Bruce (colored) has told the Sc
cret of his admiration for Senator Conkling
as follows: When I came up to the Senate I
knew no one except Senator Alcorn, who was
my colleague. When the names of the new
Senators were called out for them to go up
and take the oath, all the others except my
self were escorted by their colleagues. Mr..
Alcorn made no motion to escort me, but
was buried behind a newspaper. and L con-
cluded would go it alone. I had got about
half way up the aisle when a tall gentleman
stepped up to me and said: excuse me,
Mr.. Bruce, I did not until this moment see
that you were without an escort Permit
me. My name is Conkling," and he linked
his arm in mine and we marched up to the
desk together. 1 took the oath, and then he
escorted me back to my seat. Later in the
day, when they were fixing up the commit
tees, he asked me if anyone was looking af-
ter my interests, and upon my informing
him that there was not and that 1 myself
was ignorant of my rights in the matter, he
volunteered to attend to it, and as result
was placed on some very good committees
and shortly afterward got Craftsmanship.
I have always felt kindly towards Mr.. Conk
ling since, and always shall.

DE ALGERNON AND McDICKENS.
Tale oITWO Western Men who Tough

for Their Mother.in-LaW.
lie. w. Howe in the Atchison Globel
Once there was a widow woman who had
two lovely daughters. When these daugh-
ters grew up they married nice young men
named De Alsernon and McDickens. They
were married on the same day and immedi-
ately went to housekeeping, one in St. Joe
and the other in Kansas City. There was
great rivalry between the sons-in law as to
which should have the honor and pleasure of
furnishing the mother-in-law a home. The
mother-in-law, regarding her sons-in-1aw
with equal favor, decided that she would
live while with one and while with the
other With this the young men were appa-
rently content. Accordingly the mother-in-
law took up her residence with De Algernon
In St. Joe, and Immediately he began to
make his home so attractive that his mother
1n-law would not think of leaving. He first
threw away his lamps and pat in gas, which
the good mother regarded as very nice.
While De Algernon was cengratulating him
self that mother, as he called her, per-
feet fixture, letter came from McDickens
that he had not only put in gas, but CRATES
IN every room and steam heat. This was
too tempting for mother, and amid the tears
of her son and daughter she tore herself
away and went to Kansas City. Everything
was lovely until De Algernon wrote to moth
er that he had not only put in CRATES and
steam, but at great expense he had put in an
elevator. The elevator caught mother, and
notwithstanding the fearful pleadings of Nc
Dickens she went back to St. Joe. But she
had not been there long before letter came
from McDickens stating that, besides gas.
steam heat and elevators, he had frescoed
his dining room wall with ducks and other
eatable fowls. Again mother changed her
residence to Kansas City. She is there now,
but it is safe to predict that she will not stay
there long, for De Algernon is man of
wealth and resources and swears that he will
put in the incandescent electric light.

The recent reports of the petering OF

The recent reports of the petering out of
the natural gasN els of Pennsylvania are
vigorously denied, as of course they would
be. In one or two instances the supply has
been temporarily interfered with by causes
that are entirely explainable, but there is
said to be no uneasiness to the future on
that account As the wells now yield 351 ,O00,-
600 cubic feet day it does not seem proba-
BILE that they will continue to be productive
forever.

the Daniels ranch, distance OF three
miles, from which place he was taken
to his home In a spring wagon with II
bed in it, Here DR.. Leavitt was in
waiting. and he at once sewed and
bandaged up the injured mans |
wounds. Mr.. Spragg is now out of
danger, and it is thought will be able
to be about in week or ten days.
