Will Fight for the Job.

CLAY CENTER, Neb., Jan. 1s.-ISpecial to
THE BEE. B. +. Pollock has commenced
proceedings against the board Of supervisors
to compel them to contract with hun for the
superintendency of the county farm for the
next two years. The board has already con-
tractea with MIR. J. H.. Eller. There were
four applicants for the position. On the
first formal ballot Mr., Pollock received nine
votes TO the other candidates seven, there
being four members of the board absent. A
motion was then made that MIR. Pollock be
declared elected, but before the motion
was seconded the chairman Of the board
ruled that it required a majority vote of the
whole board to elect to this position. On
the second ballot j. III. Eller received a ma
iority vote of the whole board and was de-
clared elected. MIR. Pollock has employed
legal help and will test the ruling Of the
chair.
At the last meeting of the county board
they hired an expert from Omaha to examine

order OF subjects, is q custom that dates
its origin back for centuries.
Then, alter three years devoted to
some literary pursuit, the degree OF
Master OF Arts" is conferred. This
gives n sanction TO the degrees after
they have been properly earned.
But, unfortunately, all degrees repre-
sented by the sape letters do not always
indicate the same scholastic attain
ments. Or, to express the thought in
another form, the colleges and univer-
sites oil this country do not rank alike.
A college or university degree may

are not superior to ordinary high
schools, and many OF the universities
really rank below an average college.
Under the various state laws, any col
lege may become Incorporated and en-
powered to confer degrees. These lit
tie one-horse-colleges and universities
have had the effect OF bringing the de-
grees that formerly represented some
proficiency in scholarship into disre-
pute throughout the country. IT is not
denied but that these institutions have
done much good in general, but they
have also been the cause of fastening up
Oi 10 Nv puluil ulbtCutu W ullHlSTlueu
degrees. There appears but one way of
remedyIng this evil, and that is for the
state to require a certain degree OF pro-
t%iciency in the sciences. languages,
mathematics and literature, ascertained
by a uniform system of examinations of
all candidates for graduation each year.
There would then be q unity OF purpose
IN all college work, and those i~nstitu-
tions that could not prepare their stu
dents for such examinations would have
to close their doors. The idea Of OH
tanning a degree without scholarship
would produce an entire revolution in
one department OF American secondary
education.
In European schools a degree means
something, but in tins country, where
all are professors and heavy titled men,
degrees usually excite ridicule and con-
tempt rather than respect. The truth
is, degrees are too cheap. They mean
nothing. They are in such bad odor
that deserving persons are almost
ashamed to let it be known that they
ever earned such honor marks. A
reformation is i~mperatively demanded.

THE RICHEST HOTEL MAN.
A. +. Darling, of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, Once a Bell-Boy.

A. 2. Darling, the senior proprietor
of the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York,
which is said to be the best paying
house in the world, is the w~ealthiest
hotel man. His riches are estimated at
$4,000 900, all made in his legitimate
business.
He was a bell boy In the Battle house,
New Orleans. In time he was promot-
ed by Paran Stevens to the stewardship.
Shortly after this the Fifth venue no.
tel, which Is owned by H. K. Emo, was
erected for Mr.. Stevens. 1t was so gen.
orally predicted that such a costly en-
terprise would be q financial failure
that even Mr.. Stevens became fearful
of the outcome. His name had never
been associated with a failure, and his
pride in that record led him to adopt a
course which was not typical of his
character.
He brought Darling, the former bell
boy, from the Battle house, and a clerk
named Hiram Hitchcock from the St.
Charles hotel in New Orleans, and with
himself as the SEQ" organized the firm
of Hitchcock, Darling u Co., for the
management of the new hotel. The
lease was made out in the name of A. p.
Darling, and in that form it exists
until this day.
Upon Stevens death, not very long
afterward, Darling became the senior
member OF the firm. Hitchcock, al
though he was out of the management
for a time, is now again in the firm, and
a small interest has been given q
nephew of his named Villas.
How idle were Paran Stevens fears
concerning the future of the property is
shown by the fact that from Its begin
ming the hotel has never earned less
than 100000 a year, and more fire.
quently the annual profits reach $500, 900.
Darling's wealth was we'll demon
strated when H. X. Emo wished to save
his son, John G. Emo, now a fugitive in
Canada, from imprisonment on account
of his misuse of the funds of the Second
National bank, writes a correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press. The sum Of
ST 800 900 was needed Immediately, but
even such a wealthy man as the elder
Emo could not raise such an amount in a
days notice. In this emergency the
former bell boy OF the Battle House ad-
yanced it all III cold cash.

A JOLLY SEA-DOG.
How an Intelligent Brute Attends to
HIS Duties on Shipboard.

There is a sheep dog on board the
steamer HORROR, which plies between
Rio de JaneirO, New York, and Liver
pool, that regularly takes his station on
deck at the third watch. and can be re-
lied upon as thoroughly as the Oldest
anna on board, says the New York
Star. His name is Nick, and whenever
a sail is sighted nothing can stop him
until he reports it to the officer On the
bridge. He frequently sights a vessel
before the lookout, and understands
what it is to be the first to report. If
he hear the lookout sing out he under
stands perfectly what is said, and will
obey any order the men give him. He
is very valuable az a barometer. There
is no change in the weather which is
not foretold by Nick. He only enters
the captains cabin on important bust
ness, either to announce a sail
in sight or predict a change of
weather, which he does in a most
remarkable way. When he wants to
inform the captain that a sail is in sight
he run in and banks vigorously several
times and then walks out. When he be-
IN a weather prophet he stands on
his hind legs and paws AZ the barome-
ter, and according to Captain Hening
and his crew Nick is usually several
hours ahead OF the instrument. The
steamer was at Rio when the revolution
broke out and remained there several
days. The dog usually accompanies the
captain on shore when he goes, but the
morning OF the revolution, when the
troops paraded the streets, was very
anxious to know what was going on and
jumped overheard and swan ashore TO
satisfy his curiosity. When Captain
Hening came ashore he was met on the
wharf by Nick, who barked ~furiously
and tugged AT his p~antaloons to go back
to the ship. The captain said he in
stantly knew something had happened,
and his fears were verified when he
reached the Office of the company. Nick
IS about six years old and has a shaggy
black-and-tan coat, with the softest and
most intelligent eyes ever set in the
head OF an animal.

ATCHIsuN's MEAT INSPECTOR.
An Ordinance Drafted to Cover the
Matter,

NHhtttT.
ATCusoN, Kan, Jan. 16.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. The Atchison meat in-
spection ordinance, designed to prohibit the
sale of Kansas City and Chicago dressed
beef in the city has not been attacked by
the packers Of these places yet, but as it is
similar to the ordinances of other cities
which the federal court have declared un-
constitutional it has been decided TO repeal it
and substitute an ordinance that IL Is expect
cd Will meet with more favor at the hands of
the courts and still have the same purpose.
The committee on judiciary of the city
council has prepared an ordinance, which,
while 1t does not discriminate in letter
against imported dressed meat, it IS so
hedged about that it gives local pack
ers the advantage. 1t provides that all
live animals killed in Atchlson shall be in
spected and the inspectors fees shall be %
cents a head for cattle and 8 cents a head
for hogs, sheep or calves, up to fifty a month
and l cent a head ior all over that number.
For dressed meat not having been previously
inspected on foot, the butcher or dealer who
retails such meat shall pay an inspection fee
OF 25 cents a hundred pounds and the in
spection shall be had before any of such
meat is sold.
This does not compel butchers or packers
to have their animals inspected alive, but il
they offer for sale meat that has not been pre-
vlously inspected on foot it must first
be inspected as dressed at the rate OF 25
cents II hundred.
1t is understood that the ordinance will
meet with opposition from smal butchers
and they will be on hand when the council
meets to a X action. Lawyers say the or
dinanoe is the best way possible out Of the
difficulty. II an inspection ordinance will
dodge the interstate commerce provision of
the constitution this will do 1t.
