The answers TO the Philadelphia Times
request for opinions as to the best manner
in which to dispose of charitable gift of
$4,000 are coming in, and in many in
stances the suggestions are tiippant. One

Should Mr.. Cleveland and tariff reform
be pitted against Mr.. Blaine and protection
next fall, as seems very probable, it is re-
ported that ex-senator Roscoe Conkling
will take the stump for the first named. The
report is not entitled to much credence, but
paper to be unquestioned. Mr.. Conkling
is represented rs saying that the Republican
party cannot, without violating It's pledges
and bringing reproach upon its name, re-
fuse to reduce the taxes which weigh so
heavily upon producers and consumers. He
is further credited with the remark that
Mr.. Cleveland's last message was one of the
wisest, boldest and most patriotic evidences
of craftsmanship of recent years.

Lives Four Doors Below.

The Fall River Neles publishes a story, told
at the expense of the Amherst College Glee
Club, which is too good to keep. About ten
years ago the club made trip through New
York state. and sung in Rochester at the same
time that Kate Pennoyer, pretty stage singer,
was there. After the concert it was proposed to
serenade the lady, and the club proceeded to
her home and struck up the familiar college
hymn, Dear Evelina, paraphrasng the chorus
thusly:
Dear Kate PennOyer
Sweet Kate Pennoyer,
our love for thee
Shall never, never die"
After singing the entire song, the boys waited
a moment for recognition of their serenade
Slowly a window in the third story was raised
later a man clad in robes Of white and with
whiskers a foot long was seen, and then bass
solo was waited down to the collegians:
Dear boys below there
Sweet boys below here,
Your Kate Pennoyer
Lives four doors below here"
As the last words of his song died on the
frosty air, the Amherst College Glee Club gath
cred themselves up like Arabs, and as silently
stole away.
