Took Away the Harvard Mans Breath.
Two men were walking down town to
business the other day. One of them
was Harvard man. The other was
graduated at a most venerable and vet
somewhat formidable rival of that uni
versity whose motto is LUX ct Veritas. -
They had arrived at City Hall park, and
were picking their doubtful way through
the crowd which was surging between
the elevated station and Frankfort street.
Suddenly the Yale man exclaimed:
''Hold on a minute, old fellow! want
to speak to friend
The Harvard man turned and saw his
friend in the act of shaking hands with
fine looking, middle aged man who
wore long silken beard, and whose sun
Drowned face and powerful frame showed
the good effect of many vacation moons
spent upon the wave and in the depths
of the forest. The Yale man continued
In earnest conversation with the hand
some looking man for few moments,
and then, after leave taking which was
almost brotherly on both sides, joined
his comrade, who said:
''Who was that man.
''Who!" said his friend; didn't You
recognize him? Why, we sat near him
and his family on the grand stand at the
football championship game up at New
Haven in 1880. That was the famous
Professor B. W. He was my division
officer once, and is one of the most popu-
lar instructors at Yale"
'.Well, that is just like you fellows"
said the other; "but," continued he, 81

pen to Harvard man if he were to stop

Thaddeus Rich, the former valet of
John L. Sullivan, when that gentleman
was sporting editor of The Illustrated
News, had five years experience on the
Chicago trains of the New York Central.

not only tips the porter but tips the driv-
er, the guard, the fireman, the cook, the
waiter, and every servant ON the train,
not with paltry nickels or. a dollar, but
with s. bills and sometimes tens.
speaking of liberal people I mustn't
forget to mention John L. Sullivan. He
never gave me less than $5 for blacking
his boots on the cars. He often gave me
more. Especially one morning when he
had jumped on me. You see he was talk
ing in his sleep and rolling about rest
lessly. l went toward him and tried to
make him comfortable. The moment
touched him, however, he leaped up and
we both fell of heap on the floor, and
with such a racket that everybody wax
ened up. John l.. woke up, too, and was
much disgusted when he surveyed the
circus, as the bedclothes had come with
him from the top berth. 1 gathered my
self together the best way could and
crept to a corner, while John L. got back
into bed and was soon sleeping again. In
the morning when he left the car he
handed me a $50 bill. New York

II not been for two men who happened to
De at the spot. One extended
his arms and caught the woman
rs she was falling. Fancy his
horror when he found that he held q
corpse in his arms. With O quick move
ment he threw the thing back Into the
carriage and sprang away. Before he
could recover from his surprise, the
driver of the carriage had given his
horse the whip and was away up Wis

The man into whose arms the corpse
fell did not know the driver, but the de-

MILITARY COLLEGES.

Evidences Of Increasing Interest Manifested.
Acting hdj.. Gen. NcKeever's Report.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l0.-Acting Adjt. =
Gen. McKeever, in his annual report to
the secretary Of war, devotes much space
to the subject of military colleges. He
says the reports of officers per-
forming the duties of professors of
military science and tactic at universities
and colleges give gratifying evidence
OF the increasing interest manifested by,
college authorities in such course of
studies and exercises. The average
number OF students over fifteen years
of age attending these institutions
during the past scholastic year was 1854
of whom 81 are attending artillery drills
and 5l4 infantry drills. The total num-
Der of pupils reported as having received
military instruction during the last quar-
ter Of the school year is COS. Says Gen.
eral McKeever: Zone of the obstacles
pointed out in former reports to
thoroughly satisfy military department
(fewness OF number of studsnts) lie stead
lily decreasing. II 10 gratifying to note
only nine colleges have less than lG0, and
but three where the average attendance
falls below fifty.''
Gen. McKeever said he was convinced
that the real cause OF desertion was the
almost certain immunity of the offender
from arrest. The present reward
Of $50 for the arrest OF
deserter has proved totally inadequate,
as h abundantIy proved by the vers
email percentage OF arrests compared
with the number Of dssertions. Mxj.

GOULD TALKS.
His Views in Regard to the Fall OF
Prices in Wall Street Yesterday.
He Who Has the Courage to Buy Now and the
Patience to Walt VIII Come Out
All Right In the End.

NEW YORK, Nov. l0.-Mr. Jay Gould
was asked this afternoon to give his
views in regard to the great fall in prices
in Wall street. Mr.. Gould said: There
is, of course, as anyone can see by look
ing at the prices, very great depression,
but there is no doubt that the market
would have righted itself if the trouble
in London had not come up.
How much further the thing Will
20 l do not know. Anyone who
has the courage to bay now and the
patience to wait will make money. 80
far as l know anything about the differ
ent properties, especially those l am in
terested in, they are all right and there
is no reason for the present low prices.
l suppose six months from now we shall
look back upon these prices and, COM
pairing them with the prices then,
will say how ridiculously low they were.
History repeats itself. l have seen
within the last few DAYS good evidence
of the amount of money that has been
going into Wall street to buy stock,
principally not on margin, but outright.
This amount 10 likely to in
crease, and when II gets SO that
the buyers are more numerous
than the sellers the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Will turn. The railroads are
doing well. The large movement of
freight now going on is being carried at
better prices. All the roads have a bet
ter understanding with each other than
for many years.
