Trouble In the Yale ssIeu.rno School.

NEW HAVEN, Jan. .1s.-Thereis is a small-sized
mutiny at the Yale Scientific School, caused
by an obnoxious order issued by Frederick r.
Honey. instructor in instrumental drawing. At
the beginning of the term Prof. Honey ordered
one of the classes to purchase their drawing
instruments from certain local dealer. One
OF the students. whose father deals in that line
OF goods. canvassed the class. and. his prices
being less than those OF the local dealer. he
secured orders from nearly all OF the, class.
When Prof. Honey heard OF the move he be-
came very angry. and notified the students
that he would not accept work done With / in in
self The students insisted on their, right TO
buy supplies whore they pleased. and bought
the drawing materials from their classmate.
Prot. Honey thea threatened his class 40 vIGor-
ously that they laid the matter before Prof..
Brush, who ruled that the students could not
be forced to trade al places deSignsted by
and his class reached such high point to-day
that no drawing lesson WAS given. The boys
charge that the ProGessors 3 zeal is prompted
by a commission. and they object to paying an
unnecessary commission when the same goods
can be purchased cheaper elsewhere.
