AND IN ROBUST HEALTH
Hamline University Will Begin
It's Fall Tern TODAY.

Hamline University Will Begin
Its Fall Term To-Day.
Hamline university, the oldest de-
nominational college in the state of
Minnesota, begins a new year to-day,
and opens under the most favorable
auspices. Last year was the most sue
cessful n Hamline ever enjoyed, and
President Bridgman expects the year
which is now opening to be still more
successful, Notwithstanding the attempt
on the part of Minneapolis papers to
prove the college in a falling condition
and greatly IN need Of financial sup
port. The university has always been
heartily supported by the Methodists of
the state. and they do not now show
an. inclination to weaken in their 10y
atty towards the only Methodist college
of the state of Minnesota.
President q. III. Bridgman has been
out over the state considerably this
summer, and he says that the school
will have a greater number of students
fiOcking to its halls of learning than
there have ever been in any preceding
year. For me past month he has been
confined to his home. with a prolonged
attack of hay fever, but he is now suf-
ficiently recovered to attend to his Of
fetal duties.
The faculty of the university will be
greatly strengthened this year with an
additional member. A year ago DIR. s.,
q. Innis resigned his position as pro-
lessor in Latin, and went to Europe for
a years study and recreation. Prof.
Thompson, of New York state, was
elected a professor in tine university to
fill this chair. which he has done to the
satisfaction of all. DR.. Innis has lately
returned, and will resume his work in
the university, but as professor of his
tory, for which he is well fitted. Some
800 students are expected to be in at
tendance this morning, and this num-
bel will be greatly increased ere the
month has drawn to a close.

thought what is wanted may be accom-

CORRIDOR A

1t is very amusing to watch he
guests of a large hotel when thew in
!quire for writing material at the Office.
Last evening a GLOBE representative
took note of the name in which some
of the guests at the Hotel Ryan asked
for paper and envelopes. One gen.
ltleman sauntered up to the desk,
and in an off-hand manner
inquired for some writing material. He
was handed theu usual note paper used
IN the hotel, and seemed very much
surprised. Haven't you anything bet
ter than that?s" he asked of the clerk.
lSNo. SIR" was the reply, shat is the
best we have" The gentleman looked
at the paper for a moment, and then, in
! a disguised manner, said: well, l
suppose it will have to do"
Soon after another inquiry was made
for writing material, and on Being asked
how many sheets he required, the guest
replied, "Oh, about a Dozen" s.Now,
paper" remarked Mr.. Mehl Jr. to the
GLOBE reporter, "but what can we
do? l dare not refuse to give it to him,
and he only asked for a dozen sheets
Just because he thought he might have
some use for it. Our expenditure for
note paper is a very large one. and we
use a very good quality OF paper.
Figuring out the account we paid last
year for note paper alone. over 1900, 900
sheets were used, and it can be safely
said that a good deal of it is wasted. T
remember once meeting a travelling
man who had a collection of note paper
from the various hotels in which he
stopped, and it was enough to last him
for life. Some people use the note
paper of hotels for shaving strips. cigar
lighters and other purposes, which they
would never think of doing if they had
to pay for it,"

HERBsT HAS A RATCHET
With Which to Prune the Ire,
That Grows County Fees.

With Which to PRIME the Tree
That Grows County Fees. 4
81. H. Herbst has his eye upon thei
fee system in public offices. He is OBJ
posed to it. and yesterday introduced
the matter to the attention of the cham.
Der Of commerce. Mr.. Herbst declared
the fee system wrong in principles
Where it had been abolished there had
always been a healthy tone in the office.
County officials told him that their
offices did no pay: but people knew
better than that. He had found that
when a county official retired he became
suddenly rich. it was time something
was done to cut off these fee offices, and
so Mr. HerbSt proposed the following:
Resolved, That the chamber investigate
Whether the present system of paying certain
city and comfy officials of Ramsey county
by the collection of fees is just to the tax
payer and the community, and, if upon
proper investigation this chamber finds that
the tee system works injuriously to the pub
lie and taxpayer, that the legislature be petit
toned to abolish such fee system and in lieu
thereof to fix q Salary to such offices. which
shall be reasonable and just aud commensu-
rate to the labors and responsibilities of such
offices.
The resolution was relegated to the
committee On taxes, county and city
officials.
The chamber went into executive ses-
sion for a quiet talk over the recount.
w. NJ. Bushnell, chairman of the census
committee, will furnish a report on the
recount at the next meeting of the
chamber.

A FACT TO BE PROUD OF.
Under Adverse Circumstances,the
Fair Comes Out Even.

Under Adverse CircumStanCeS,the
Fair Comes Out Even.
The state fair last week will come out
financially even-at least SO Secretary
d. NJ. Liggett remarked to Vice Presi-
dent Dan Moon yesterday. The of
ficers of the state agricultural society
have good reason to be proud of this.
The fair was admittedly the best ever
held in this state, and in paying ex-
penses it will do what no preceding
fair has accomplished. This is all the
more satisfactory from the fact that this
years fair had to compete with almost
unparalleled opposition. Barnum d
Bailey'S circus was a strong counter
attraction for three days, and the Min
neapolis Exposition was adecided draw.
Added to these was the unfavorable
weather on Friday, when, it is comput-
ed, fully $1,000 people were prevented,
from attending the fair. Under such,
circumstances, the fair coming out
clear of debt is a cause for general con-
CALCULATIONS, and President PilIsbury.
as well as Vice President Moon, should.
receive the hearty thanks of citizens for:
the admirable management which has;
characterized this years show.

The Peculiar Calamity Which Be-

A curious case is that of Mrs. Valen-
tine SchwarZ, VINO resides in a house in
the rear of TIA West Ninth street.
About six months ago the story was
told in the GLOBE of her peculiar aff1ic-
ton, and great interest has been taken
by medical men in the case. For son
years Mrs. Schwarz has been subject to
paralysis of the tongue. Some months
ago the lady was suddenly stricken
speecbless, and remained totally una
bic to pronounce a syllable for several
weeks, after which period the power
of speech was regained, and apparently
there had been no serious result. Last
Saturday Mrs. Schwarz was sitting din
ner when, just as suddenly as before.
she was stricken dumb and has not
since been able to express herself ex-
cept by signs. There are three small
children of the family. one of recent
birth, which may. perhaps, account for
the present condition of the mother

A Grand Reception.

In view of the immense crowd of

winds of yesterday to visit the opening

store, it seems almost fortunate for
these gentlemen that the day was not
bright and balmy. for in that case the
crowd would have become a crush. As it
was, fully 5000 people called to see the
display of rich goods and offer their
congratulations to the enterprising and
gentlemanly proprietOrS.

The farmers of Argyle, Marshall
county, feel very grateful to the railroad
commissioners FOR the prompt manner
in which they attended to a complaint
filed against the Great Northern road
for non-supply of cars on the sidetracks
for transporting wheat. On Sept. 4
communications were sem to the COM
mission complaining that the Great
Northern had refused to send cars to
Argyle. The officials of the road
denied that any order had been given to
refuse cars to the farmers. A second
complaint was made to the commls-
Sioners, and this time the officials of the
railroad company were given to under
stand that no such trifling would be al
lowed and that steps would be taken at
once to relieve the farmers. The result
was that orders were sent to the agent
at Argyle to supply the necessary cars,
for which relief the commissioners yes
terday received the grateful thanks of
