A citizen rushed up stairs on the JEFF
ferson avenue side of Merrill Hall so
fast Yesterday that man on the landing
inquired:
'.Has any thing happened?"
'.Tm getting out of the way of a man
who wants to borrow money!" was the
reply, as he passed on down the Wood

In about five minutes a second man
came rushing up and called to the man
on the landing:
"Any body gone up!'
"Yes."
'Have on a light overcoat and plug
hat?''
"Yes."
"WOnder which way he went!'
'Down the other stairs, guess. He
said some dead-beat was after him to
borrow money. If you hurry perhaps

A Prairie Dog Fight.

The prairie dogs which have a village
opposite the snake house in the Phila-
delphia Zoo" got into terrible fight
recently. After the battle was over two
of them were found dead on the field,
literally torn to pieces. These little fell
lows, who can be seen lodging up from
their burrows in the ground and then
down again as quick as flash. are
peculiarly savage in the spring of the
year. There are fifty-five or sixty of
them in the village. They divide of
into factions and deliberately 60 to bat
tling with each other until one side or
the other has to succumb. The recent
fight lasted an hour and was accompanied
by the usual barking noise, intensified in
sound by their anger.-N 7. Post.

autumn. After the ground is prepared.
the rows should be made four or five
feet apart, and the cuttings placed about
fifteen inches apart in the rows. The
cuttings are generally from twelve to
fifteen inches long, and should stand
three or four inches out of the ground.
1t must be cultivated the first year, and
the ground kept mellow and clear of
weeds; but after good stand gets pos

the cultivation.

A Child Born in the United States Is q
Citizen In the Eye of the Law.
The new election law has given rise
to many discussions in regard to what
constitutes citizen under the law.
Many men who have been voting for
wears here discovered that they had
used the franchise illegally on account
of their not having been naturalized.
Several have applied to the courts for
their papers who were by birth Ameri-
can citizens. A young man applied to
the circuit court. He said his parents
were both foreigners and were never
naturalized. He, however, was born in
this country few months after his
parents arrived. Mr.. f. A. Sherburn,
who has given much study recently to
these questions, was standing by. He
said: 1.-The matter is settled at once
and SO plainly that there is no misun-
derstanding it. The fourteenth amend
ment says: All persons born or natur-
allied in the United States, and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
of the United States, and of the State in
which they reside Birth settles the
question in the United States. A child
born in the United States is a citizen.
There is but one exception, and that is
in the case of an Ambassador or Minis
ter of some foreign country who is resi-
dent in the United States in 3 d;pio-
matte or representative character.
This doctrine is fully enunciated in the
case of Lynch VS.. Clarke, reported in l
Sanborn. where the parents of q child
were English people living in Ireland.
They came to America and only re-
manned some three years. During this
time q daughter was born unto them
and the courts held that the child was q
citizen of the United States. Chicago

only three dissenting votes. During the
interval between the reassembing OF the
convention and the receiving OF the
report of the committee Hon. Hiram Price,

result of the present agitation. This was
illustrated by careful study of the history
