necessary result Of the original vicious
idea that the collegians are privileged
class, and that customary ebullitions of
disorder only an outbreak of youthful
spirits that is to be received with charitable
liberation.
It must be said that some at least of the
college faculties are largely responsible for
the growth of this pernicious idea. Of
course they have never taught or even for
mally assented to the theory that the stu
dent has especial license in the matter OF
disorderly conduct or offenses against the
person; but they have allowed that vicious
idea to gain root by not only failing to
make the distinction between good-humored
and gentlemanly sport, and vicious.viola-
tions of law and order, but by inficting for
the latter class punishments which are
trivial besides those provided by the law
70, such offenses. The college student who
makes an assault in hazing commits just as
wanton an offeuse as the ordinary tough
who attacks victim on the street. When
he breaks into room at night for that pur-
pose he defies the law as wantonly as bur-
glar. The practice of letting the collegiate
misdoer off with suspension, or expulsion
at least, while the ordinary offender is sent
to the workhouse or penitentiary, is tacit
recognition of privilege which takes its rise
from stupidity and is asserted by unreason,
and which, pursued to its final point ends
in a tragedy like that at Ann Arbor.
1t will be impossible to enforce the lesson
that students like everyone else must obey
the laws and respect public authorities, if
the participants In this riot are not sub
jected to the full penalties prescribed for
those who get up fatal riots. II they are
given light punishments the idea of class
immunity will be strengthened in the col
legiate mind. If they are sentenced to
actual imprisonment the college students all
over the country may be induced to reflect
on the fact that they are subject to the laws.

Davis Fifth Avenue Museum.

The sensation began at the Baltimore and
Ohio depot yesterday morning when Hattie
Bowen arrived in car specially adapted TO her
immense proportions. Manager Davis had
truck drawn by four powerful horses in readi-
ness, and Big Hattie was transferred from the
car to the museum without touching ground.
An enormous crowd had assembled on Water
and Smithfield streets, and through this the
horses and truck with their gigantic burden
actually 7l8 pounds - with difficulty
made their way. The crowd followed
cheering. The museum was packed all day
and night, and the oIher wonders with Hattie
proved very attractive. Colonel Pickett Nell

Grand Opera House.

The appearance of Frederick Warde and
Mrs. d. P. Bowers in Shakespeare's Henry
VIII" at the Grand Opera House last
night attracted large and sympathetic
audience. Their expectations were not disap-
pointed, for the performance was
remarkably fine one. Mr.. Warde in the
character of Cardinal WoLsey made noble and
engaging figure, and his remarkable declamatory
powers were shown to the highest advantage in
the passages for which the play is chiefly
famous. Mr.. Warde lent especial dignity and
pathos to the memorable soliloquy after
MS fall from power, and the fire
and impetuosity of his previous encounters
with King Henri and the MOBILES made a fine
background for the mournful sequel.
Mrs. Bowers Queen Katherine is a noted
performance, and the polish and refinement
she lends To the poignant pathos of the whole
character make it triumph of art. Perhaps
the highest point touched by this sterling
actress was IN the death scene, which had
very marked effect upon the audience.
The company as a whole is very well chosen,
Miss Catherine Coggswell making a very hand
some Anne Boleyn, and Mr. Harry Leighton,
as Cronl,oeU, was very effective. Mr.. Herman
and several others played lesser roles with
ability. The costumes are of an unusually
high order of magnifcence, and the tableaux
at times were extremely picturesque. Alto
gether, it is notably fine performance and de-
serves the public's approval. Tonight MAC
beth" is on the bills.

The Worlds Museum.

1t is not often that the public get the chance
to shake hands with a live bear, and live TO talk
about it, but just such an opportunity is to be
found at the Worlds Museum this week. Mr..
Bruin will do more than shake hands-he will
wrestle any man in friendly way and throw
him, too. Such an accommodating and yet
hearty bear hasn't been seen in Allegheny
county in long while. There are good many
other interesting curiosities but the perform
ance in the theater Is altogether the best seen
dian, Frank McNish, heads the company, and
a dozen clever acts are on the programme. Al
together the Worlds Museum is justifying its
claim to give good amusements at cheap prices.

crowded to the doors last night with ''students'

nature as it is sometimes improved upon by art.
The Rentz-Santley Novelty and Burlesque
Company is composed of all sorts but bad sorts
of speciality artists. On the trip they stop at
each other. In this latter diversion, Misses
O'Brien and Gilbert made great hit with the
audience, but the knives always failed to hit
the artist. In black art Mile Levile and Ada
Renza performed some excellent feats of
legerdemain. The comedians were funny and
the specialties good.

Harris Theater.

OF all the many war comedies or melodrauas
that have been written, possibly "The Blue
and the Gray" is holding its own as well as any,
1t has been seen again and again in Pittsburg,
but upon each presentation it is greeted with
as large audiences as il it were a new work.
The company giving it at the above house this
week is a frst-class one. Perhaps Milt G. Bar
low, the old-time minstrel, carries off little
more than his share Of the honors, but his
rendition of the character of Uncle Josh is
very true to life and quite entertaining.

for the second concert of the series. Tho pro-
grapme was an unusually pleasing one, opening
with the "WIlliam Telr' overture. by Rossini,

Brockett, Jr., then appeared, and sang Jen-
sens "Old Heidelberg" with such effect
that rapturous applause was given him.
An "Intermezzo" by Forester, and Filtration"
by Steck, arranged for strings, were very en-
joyable and exceptionally well rendered.
A clarinet solo. "Fantasie" by Orth, rem
dered by Mr.. L. NJ. Jones, opened part second,
and was followed by some selections from

THE e1ample of the Bank of Enrland i

The example of the Bank of England in
the case of Barring Bros. moves the Philadel-
phia Inquirer to point out that when Jay
Cooke & Co. went down it would have been
much cheaper for the banks to hand out $50,
000. 900 or so than to stand the collapse. Never
theless the condition of things at the time Of
Jay Cookies failure was such that there was a
very good reason for the banks not handing
out the $50, 900 900 or $40 900 needed to sus-
tain the failing firm. 1t was the same reason
as that which prevented the early settler from
buying half of Chicago for an old saddle.

shrinkage in stock values by the recent decline
is not less than $1,000, 600, ,0O0 Perhaps the
panlcky significance of this assertion may be
somewhat modified if we reflect. on the posi-
bility trat stock values were inflated some
thing in the neigh5orhood of $1,000, ,0O0,0 ,00O be-
fore the decline sets in. The interesting feat
ure of the expansion and shrinkage is that if
we take the elements of real value, namely
actual investment and average earning power,
we find that railway stocks are worth exactly
as much now ss they were before the decline

shows that it bought its property for s400 900,
