Eliot's report for 1s8l-'S5 is just ont, and VIII
be much talked about. Any one who knows
how preiudiccd in favor Of their system OF

Dlan. II does more. II contains statistics. all
gong TO show that the privilege of selecting
studies at Cambridge does not induce too highly
specialized work, and that the students do NOT
select the easiest studies. The figures ana iactS
will be difficult obstacles in the path of the ex-
IRENE advocates Of the olG-tashoned set

SURPRISED to learn that students at Harvard OF
any other place select the hardest studies when
they might take the easiest.

shut out of this market by a schedule of rail-

butchers. good many people in this town
have had a prejudice against meat dressed in
the West, but to the poor the sale of such beef
here was a great boon. 1t kept the cost of
living down. Of course the prices of roasts
and steaks will now go up, for the action of the
railroads places rich and poor alike at the
mercy of Eastern butchers and drovers.

The debate over the attitude of the President
and the Senate in regard to the inspection OF
papers is postponed for week or more; but
meanwhile the friends of Mr.. Cleveland are
not pleased with the situation. The minority
report of the Judiciary Committee can hardly
make out a stronger case in his defence than
that presented in Mr.. Pugh's recent resolutions,
and that was decidedly weak. Either the SEN
ate must have the information it seeks, or it
becomes mere registering body to give effect
by registering, to such nominations as the
President announces. The old French mon
arcbs used to claim that this was the reasonable
function of legislative body; but this Re2ub-
lilo was built on different principles.
Members of the Park police force are much
more free from scrutiny than the ordinary
policeman who patrols the streets, and the in
frequency of such assaults as this one perDe-
trated upon Mr.. Schwarzer shows that most of
the men employed by the Commissioners are
Trustworthy fellows. The conviction of Me-
1nerney and Mcdonald, however, cannot fail to
have salutary effect, not only upon the whole
force connected with the parks, but UPON the

is IT SAFE?
Architects Claim the Exposition
Building is Lightly Made.
| Figures Which VIII Show the Pro-
posed Floors Are Unsafe.

For some days past number Of promi-
vestigating the plans and specifications
being used in the erection of the Exposition
building, and have come to the conclusion
that it will be unsafe. The Northwest
Architect of to-day will publish a
letter from a correspondent. in which he
goes into figures to prove that the floors
are not being built in as stout a manner as
they should be and intimates that they will
be positively dangerous. The fault is said
to lie in the truss rods under the joiSts,
which are only three-fourthS of an inch
thick instead of two and three-eighthS
inches, as competent men have figured they
should be. In the article of the Architect
the law of New York is extensively quoted,
and the rather startling statement made
that in that city the building would not be
allowed to go up. 1t is also stated that
Building Inspector Pardee has said that he
should not allow the building to go on in
ftas6 the breaking weight of the floors was
a pound less than it is at present. 1t is now
24O pounds. while the breaking weight of a
similar building in New York would have
to be at least $50 pounds to conform to the
law. The plans of two competing archi-
tectS place the breaking weight at 800 and
$40 pounds respectively, The editor, who
is interested in the expose, stated last even
ing that Col. Hubbard called him a crank
when told that one of the joiSts had settled
nearly two inches under load Of less than
five pounds, and said that it was impossl-
ble but all the same he refused to go to the
building and see for himself. An extract
from the correspondents letter says:
The floor being loaded one Or more times
well beyond the elastic limit of the rods
some of these rods will break and the joists
(Which are entirely compression members
until the rupture of the rods) will then have
to sustain the load simply as joists, and as
though the load were dropped on them in
simultaneously instead of loaded on them by
degrees. The strength of the joists alone, be-
ing several times that of the rods, is really
jeopaldized by the presence of the rods.
The writer also declares it would be a good
thing, all around, if Mr.. Hodgson would give
the authority used for determining the pro-
portions OF his trussed joists and girders for
the Exposition building floors. AS they are
so much at variance with custom in such
cases. pains should be taken to prevent
younger practitioners from being miSled by
recognized authorities.
The Architect states editorially that the
trusses are not constructed in proper
manner and their estimated strength being
so much below custom, the estimates of the
competing architects and the law of New
York, it questions their safety and calls
upon the Exposition directors for ali inves-
tigation. The paper also claims to be sup
ported in the opinion by eminent experts
and engineers. The editorial practically
charges the architect with gross ignorance
in the construction of the truSses and of
their strength.

REST FOR THE WEARY.
Martin Rude. Tired of Life. Jumps
Into the River and Dies.

For week past police headquarters and
the various city offices have been visited by
a man giving his name as Martin Sorenson
Rude, who wanted employment. He gave
evidence at different times of being not
quite right in his head, and by his actions
demonstrated that he needed watching.
When told that there was no work
for him he appeared greatly down.

/ to preach. He said he had had special
call, and exhibited several slips of paper
upon which were written scriptural phrases
He was deemed perfectly harmless, and no
particular attention was paid to him. Monday
morning he came into the station and after
sauntering around a short time, went into
the mayors Office and asked for S11, saying
he wanted to pay his laundry. He did not
get the money, and walked away without
saying a word. Yesterday morning some
men on Thirty-fourth avenue north near
the river, saw man walk to the waters

then plunge in. He went down under
some logs, and after watching a short time

spot No trace of him could be found.
! His clothes lay on the bank and beside them
his pocketbook containing so cents in

officer was notified and the articles taken to

tailed to drag the river. It is supposed
that he deliberately killed himself, being

A Thief Nearly Escapes with 1000

IN NOIeS ANA hfon0ss
One of the boldest robberes committed
for some time took place in this city yeSter-
day morning, and but for the presence OF
two workmen the thief would have walked
away with some $50 in negotiable bonds
and notes. About II O'clock McNair'S
office, in Temple court, was left alone for
a few minutes the occupants not deemlng
it necessary to lock the door, as two men
were at work in the hall near by. The
Office had been unOccupied scarcely min
ute before young man, fairly well dressed,
walked in and took possession. He acted as
though he was employed there, and no at
tsntiOn was paid to him by the Workmen
until few moments later, when he came
out holding something under his coat. The
suspicious of the two men were aroused,
and one of them watched him while the
other called Officer George john
son. The fellow was on the
point of leaving the building
when the officer entered and asked him
what he had under his coat ''It's none of
your business" replied the man, trying to
force his way out. The officer arrested him
snd took him to the Central station, where,
concealed under his coat, were bonds and
notes to the amount of 81, $50. These he
toned about the matter he would say moth
ing. and was locked up. In his pockets
were found blank checks on nearly all the
banks in the city, and from appearances it
is thought he intended to work the city by
means of forged checks. He gave his name
as Roy Fay, and is a young man of prob
ably "a years. When arraigned in the
municipal court in the afternoon he gave
his name as Roy Maxfeld and said his
home was in Chicago; that he had
left there with $500, intending to
go West. At Fargo he was taken
sick, he claimed, and remained in the hos
pital several months Three days ago he
came to this city in a destitute condition
and had been looking for work. He gave
no reason for taking the notes. He claims
to have two sisters in Chicago. Judge
Mahoney committed him until Saturday,
when he will have hearing. Mr.. McNair
says if the story he tells is true he Will send
him home.
