N. Goron, head Of the detective department. N. Goron first described the chase after Jean nolle on the roofs of houses in Casn, when the gendarmes followed him. The fellow jumped down from e first floor into the street without hurting himself. ''It must be remembered" resumed M. Goron, ''that Jesnnolle is frst>olass gymnsst as we'll as @ capital adept in the art of sleight of hand
 Once while was interrogating him in My room, three policemen being present, he suc- ceeded in snicking' purse which was on the table before me among various other ob- jects.n The head of the detective police further described how he was first led to re- gard Jeannolle as the author of the burgla- ries committed in the Champs Elysees. Af- ter some nocturnal reconnaissances of . bur glarious character in Paris Jeannolle wrote letter to M. Maynard, Of the Figaro, telling him that he was prepared to send him cer- tain stolen objects for restitution to their rightful owners. The letter was sent to N. Goron, who compared 1t with the hand writing of another given to a wander in Caen prison by Jeannolle, and came to the conclu- sion that the two epistles were penned by the same person, M. Colbert, caligraphic ex- pert to the Bank of France, corroborated this, and other witnesses were then called, whose testimony was crushing. Among them was the Cemtesse de Puysegur. This lady gave her evidence in clear and unem- barrassed manner. She was at Nice when a
  is had been broken into and plundered. She at once returned to the capital and found that all her jewels, some of which were fam fly heirlooms, had been stolen. Among them, for instance, was bejewelled and en~ amellsd Louis XY. bonbonniere, which had been given to the Puysegur family by the Comte de Montcalm. Jeannolle had also ransacked the family papers, and had ab- stracted therefrom 8 marriage settlement dating from the year 900 Jeannoile was Condemned to twenty years penal servitude.

Davies of Philadelphia; Dr. McOosh, President Patton, Dean Murray and several professors of Princeton; Dr. How ard Crosby of New York and others. Perhaps Frederick D. Huntington puts the issue as forcibly as can be in his response, when he says: The measure you propose for bringing to the attention and to the conscience of the people of the country the righteous reform in which you are engaged not only commends itself to my judgment, but 1t falls in with convictions which have long been vital and strong upon my mind. Supreme above all political questions in the nation is the ques- tion between right and wrong, integrity and corruption, honor and greediness, in the ma tional character.

AT THE OAR.

Now that the merely literary part of Com- mencement is out of the way the field is clear for the real event of the week--the boat race at New London. To day (unless there is postponement) will be seen in few minutes the result of months of toil, training and de- votion to an idea. One thing Is especially noticeable this year. The rowers have man. aged their affairs so slyly that there is not the usual confidence of prediction, though it is expected that Yale will win. If she shouldn't happen to the atmosphere of this region will be very deep Yale color, and if she should she should there will be so much noise and smoke that most of those not di- reotly interested will be tempted to wish that she hadn't.
 The continued prosperity of Yale doesn't wholly depend on the outcome of today'f contest, although it may seem so to many oi "the boys" But it will be good thing tc have the very successful display of intellect. ual fireworks which we have just passed through succeeded by an equally successful muscular display. It Is therefore to be hoped that the blue will be found where it will dc the most good.

The Interesting Career of a Bold Bur
 slar.

The Interesting career O1 a AOld Huf-
 slar.
 The trial of Jeannolle, the aristocratic bur glar, is full of sensational elements, and among the witnesses are the bearers of some of the noblest names in France, says Paris letter. Jeannolle, alias Comte de Marsan, is a new Cartouche, and, although he did not act in the bold and high handed manner of the notorious Paris brigand of the 18th cen- tury, his victims were as numerous and as well born. Cartouohe had 8 band of 150 men under him. They were all low rascals recruited trom fhe slums, and with them Cartouche plundered the houses of persons whose servants were not numerous enough | to defend their property. Jeannolle also | worked with band, but they were the Hab- l its Noirs, or "brigands in evening dress, :" i and their weapons were delioately fashioned I bur effective "jemmies." Jeannolle defend ! ed himself with the most oonsummate cool ness, and, like many bold and clever orimi l nals, had 8 ready reply for every leading question put by the judge of the assize court. 1 "You wore gloves, Jeannolle," '" said the pres l ident, "when exercising your burglarieus functions, as if you feared to soil your hands l by robbery" s'RobberyI" replied the pris- oner. "That's all the most unmitigated moonshine. I never robbed. I transacted l nnanclal ana cOmmerclAl Dus1neES! "On6 l of your gloves, however" {" retorted the judge, "betrayed you. In the house of M. Colas, in the Champs-Elysees, a derby glove was found, and the fellow of It was picked out of your wardrobe" "Thst was a mere coin cidence," observed Jeannolle. "What about the burglars 'jemmy' found in your frock coat, JeannolleP "Oh, only simple curi- osity, Monsieur le President; little present made by a friend" ooh, indeed, then let us hear what the expert has to say" Here the expert examined the instrument and pronounced it to be of skillful foreign make.
 The same witness also deposed that the dam age to the various drawers and articles of furniture sent froi, the houses in which the burglaries attributed to Jeannolle had been committed had evidently been effected by
 the "jemmy'' produced. To all this Jean
 nolle replied, first, by characteristically
 national shrug of the shoulders, and then bJ observing that experts were humbugs wh(
 bamboozled the gentlemen of the jury.

THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION.


 A notable utterance concerning high schools is that of Justice Miller of the United States Supreme court in the current number of Harper's. Justice Miller says concerning the high schools of Iowa: These high schools in the larger cities are to some extent the equi- valents of lower grades of colleges, and no doubt better education Is freqently obtained in them than can be had in poorly endowed and struggling colleges, which perhaps should never have been started. It is, how ever, becoming question, and grave one, in the State, whether these high schools are not violation of the spirit and purpose found in the statutes, which were intended to establish what we understand by the words "common-school system.n
 The idea is not new one, but the coun- tenance given it by Justice Miller is impor- tant. But high schools are very useful and popular in Iowa. as in many other States 50 useful and 50 popular that it is not at all probable that they will be seriously attacked soon, if ever

"Digging for worms" in Gippsland, in Australia, is not what it is in this country. They have earth-worms there six feet long. They live in burrows on the sloping sides of creeks and are sometimes turned out of the ground by the plough. They have a curious smell, like creosote, and fowls refuse to touch them; but old natives of the district say that oil made from them is good for rheumatism. There are two other varieties of enormous earthworms known, one inhabiting South Africa and the other southern India and Ceylon, but the Australian kind Is the lar gest.
 Queen Victoria recently decided to so far relax the rule against permitting divorced wives to be presented at court as to admit those who had been plaintiffs in the suits and had obtained decrees against their hus- bands. This made such rush of applicants for presentation that the palace would not have held them. The Queen was compelled to decide that she would herself read all the proceedings in the suits and the testimony of witnesses in order to discover whether there was any smirching of the wife before an applicant could be received under the new rale.
 One of the most curious among all the curious presents which the Emperor of Germany has recently received as products of his African possessions Is transparent walking stick made of rhinocerous skin. It appears that "Reichscommissaer Hauptmann Wissmann" sent large piece of skin over to friend at Hamburg, who gave it into the hands of a clever turner to be made into walking-sticks. By means of some novel process the turner has rendered the skin transparent and of beautiful amber color, which has been done before, but never with- out changing color in 8 very short time, while in the present case the yellow is steady and unohanging.
 On his eighty-drst birthday Simon Cam eron wrote to young friend in Philadelphia as follows: The best duty any citizen of our country can perform is to do our duty as cit- izens so as to transmit this heritage, in- creased and perfected, to those who shall come after us.
