sioner Mitchell is understood to have
rendered Mr.. Harrison his resignation
it is inferable that he has found it lone
some and prefers to retire. Mr.. Mitch
ell has made one change that will make
his administration of the Patent Office
stand out like a mountain on a plain
for years to come. He has ruled that
ex-employes of the Patent Office, act
ing as agents or attorneys, shall not be
permitted to appear in cases upon
which they had acted while employees
OF the office. This is most righteous
decision, and it ends the career of the
over-smart fellows, who, while Ex-
aminers of the Patent Office, have de-
liberately rejected thousands of appli.
cations entitled to be granted, so that
they, little later on, as ATTORNEYS
might get these inventors as clients
and secure fee for obtaining the pat
ent, thus adding to the inventors ex.
pense and to their own profit.
j. NJ. Langston, the negro ex-Con-
gresham, says the Force bill is to be
made the principal issue of the Presi-
dental campaign. The Democrats
will not ask any easier issue to win on.
Senator Pfeffer says the Peoples
party will fight Cleveland because of
his financial record.
There are good reasons for believing
that Mr.. Harrison and Senator Quay
have settled upon the details of An al.
lance, offensive and defensive, and it
said that Quay is getting ready to even
up with those members of his party
that snubbed him when it was thought
he was to be an ex-boss.
Not for weeks has there been such a
stream of prominent callers at the
White House as during the present
week. That something of interest has
been going on in upper Republican
circles is certain, and many people be-
lieve that it relates to a general reor.
ganization of the cabinet, but most
persistent hunt has failed to discover
any one who was willing to father such
a story.
The State department sent the diplo-
matte corps to Chicago on a special
train yesterday, in order that its men,
bers might have an opportunity TO OBJ.
serve the preparations for the Worlds
Fair. Director General Davis, who has
been here fixing up things of various
kinds, left early enough to be on hand
to receive the foreigners when they ar
rive at Chicago.
Surely the millennium is coming,
since Mr.. Harrison has actually put
two Democrats on the bench of the
court of private land claims. The fol-
lowing are the justices of the new
court: J. R. Reed, of Iowa; w. F.
Stone, of Colorado; H. C. Sluss, of Kan
sas; I. c. Filler, of North Carolina
and w. w. Murray, of Tennessee, the
first named being Chief Justice. MIG.
Reynolds OF Missouri and L. w. Colby
of Nebraska are the U. s. attorneys.

SouE people might infer that Sec.
rotary Fosters change of heart as to
the amount Of interest to be paid on
the extended per cent. bonds just
after a conference with some of the
Wall street clique was queer; but il
was not. Wall street has dictated the
financial policy of this government so
long. that it scarcely cxcites comment
when Secretary of the Treasury pays
periodical visits 10 New York to receive
orders IL his masters.

increased volume in his successors ad-
ministration. Many of the indvidu al
gifts ranged high in the thousands, and
several were over 100000 each. 10 at
tempt list of even the most munitcent
gifts to the college is outside the limits
of this sketch. A marked feature of
President Porter's work was the large
increase in the number of elective
studies.
The architectural additions OF the
Porter Presidency were: 1916. the
Battell Chapel: 1ssa-s3, the Sloane Ia
boratory; 1856, Lawrence College and
Dwight Hall, also the Peabody Museum
OF Natural History. During these years
the Observatory, the West Divinity Hall.
and the Bacon Memorial Library were
also erected. In 1886, Professor Timothy
Dwight, grandson of the former Presi.
dent, was elected to that position. which
he now holds. The name of the institu-
ton has been changed, to conform with
the growth and scope Of the school, from
college" to university"
The principal buildings completed
since President Porter came into Office
are the magnificent new Chittenden
Library, the Osborn Hall, for lectures

stories had been told Of the bravery OF
the man who stands beside the throt.
tie. There had been other talk, too,
hedging on lurid adventures on the
road, dark nights, men on the track,
sharp curves, falling bridges, and so
forth. The man went on:
Il have no exciting stories to tell +;
rather I would speak Of the eccen-
tricities Of the engine. AS I said, an
engine has its peculiarities, just the
same as human beings. No two en-
gines are alike. To know an engine
one has to be right on her all the time.
It is true that they are all made the
same, but there are small mechanical
differences that cause them to run
very differently the one from the
other. 1t is hard to explain the idea
1 have in mind, but guess you grasp
my thought. For instance, some en-
gines viii run along all right for a
month or SO, and then suddenly, APP
parently for no cause, they will become
cranky and begin to act badly: They
will start and stop with a jerk, sway
violently from side to side, and alto.
gether behave in a strange and mys-
ferrous fashion. AS I said, there is no
explaining it, but any old engineer
will vouch for the truth of my story. :"

One Of the secretaries of the Chinese
Embassy in Washington has shown
himself apt in the art of compliment.
He was introduced to a lady who,
among other questions, asked him :
What virtue do you most highly prize

mesticity," was the reply. "Then you
do not like your women to move in So

at all. Our law even recognizes it as a
cause for divorce when woman-par-

President Stiles died May IL, 1895. and
Rev. Timothy Dwight. a former tutor in
the college. was Immediately elected to
succeed him.
President Dwights administration was
The most prosperous that the college had
endowed He raised il from sectional to
national Importance and patronage. He
was a grandson of Jonathan Edwards,
the famous divine, and possessed many
of his great ancestors characteristics
and much of his eloquence.
For this reason he filled the divinity
chair as we'll as the Presidency. lie
added many new departments to the
work OF the college, notably those OF law
and medicine. The increase of students
resulting from these added attractions
necessitated new buildings, and in 1902
the present North Middle College and
Lyceum were erected, and also new
residence for tho President. President
Dwight died in January, 1877.
Professor Jeremiah Day was then
elected President He was conservative.
systematic and persistent, and the col
lege made steady and vigorous advance
ment under his administration, and
various important branches OF study
were added to the course.
The buildings erected during his Off
cial career were: In 1919, a large dim
ing-hall. in the center of College Square:
in 1S20-21. North College. and later a
chapel; in 1s31-32, the Trumbul Art
Gallery, now the Treasury Building; and
in 1s43 the stately sandstone Library
Building. DIR. Alfred E. Perkins, OF
New York. Yale graduate of 1880, do
mated $4,000 to the permanent library
fund, which still remains the largest in
dividual gift to that department OF the
college. President Day resigned in 1s46.
and was succeeded by Prof. Theodore
Dwight Woolsey.
President Woolscy, during the twenty
five years of his administration, made
his wonderful executive powers felt il,
every department of the college. The
progress of the college in those years
