Charles Gluth, miser anda woman
hater, hanged himself in Baltimore
last Sunday in a garnet in which he
had lived for ten years. So bitter
was his hatred of the female sex that
he would not sit at the table with II
woman or walk near one on the street.
He was about forty-siX years old and
thrifty cabinet-maker. What he
did with the money he earned is mys-
terry which the police are now trying
TO solve by searching the room in
which his body was found hanging TO
a rope TO a hook in the ceiling.

Til recently the Topeka Capital togeth-
er with the protection organs of this
state generally, had no respect for
Prof. Garfield. He was regarded as "a
pestiferous free trader, who ought to
be ''kicked out of the University" On
all sides he was beset by a horde of
newspaper nincompOops who said he
must go. Not the least among these
was the Capital.
But his extraordinary ability as au
educator attracted the attention of the
National Educational association the
other day and he was taken up and
made its president. Now the Topeka
Capital, blushing no doubt for the
hateful manner with which it had
treated him previously, comes forward
and urges him for the vacant chancel
lOrship. 1t says:
An enthusiastic Kansan, broad cul-
tured, experienced as an educator, in
love with his adopted state and his pro-
feSSion, he is the best man east or west
north or south, to place the Kansas
State university at the very head of
western institutions. He possesses
the energy, the untIring industry,
which, coupled with his acknowledged
scholastic requirements, should give
the university new and vigorous life
very much needed at this particular
time. The success attending Prof.
Canfield's teaching in the university
his popularity among the students, his
| thorough equipment as an educational
| leader, point to him as the best man
| for the position of chancellor. His Sc
lection for this position would be no
tice to the people of Kansas that then
university would become one of the
great educational ceDters of the west
We believe the Capital voices the sent
iments f the teachers of Kansas AND
of all who know Prof. Garfield wheT
it says that his selection by the regents
of the university would be the most
popular as well as the strongest. thai

"a Ford county paper comes to the
front with story about one Mr.. Stern
berg, a citizen and farmer of that part
of Kansas, who made last year, $40, 600
from 20 acres of watermelons. The
melons were not sold nor eaten. They
were simply converted into vinegar
by a process known to Sternberg. The
seed were sold for $500. A thousand
barrels of vinegar were made from the
melons which sold for $40 a barrel.
The expenses all told, did
not exceed $500. Such is
the story vouched for by local paper.
1t sounds little fishy. But if it is
half truth, it reveals possibility in
