this snow may remain all summer. Here

The Editor" of q PAPER.

On a large daily paper the editor-in-chiet
has control of everybody on the editorial
and reporting staff, and directs the policy
of the paper, though he may do little writ
ing. The managing editor is his Heuten-
ant. and carries out the ideas of the editor
inrchief, acting more or less independently,
a. the case may be. "An editor'' may mean
either n of the men who write editorials,
OF one of the men who edit the copy of re-
porters and other writer's. The business
manager has charge of the business de-
partment, devoting his time mainly to
matters of advertising and circulation. On

Haven. The Yale university linen" turned
out in force to view the parade and threw
torpedoes at the horses, elephants and Gagged
animals until the poor beasts grew frantic
with rage and terror. Even this did not
suffice, if the New York Suns account is
to be credited. 1t says: "The lady riders
were made a target for their missiles, and
several Of them would have fallen from
their horses had it not been for the care
of the attendants who rode near them. AS
it was several of the horses became uncon-
trollable, and, leaving the procession,
dashed away with their riders"
It is to be hoped, however, that the re-
vival of the minor circus will not lead to a
repetition OF tragedies such as those men
toned above, but the fracas at Mahanoy
City would seem toindicate that the cry of
""Hey, Ruber' is liable to be sounded more
than once this summer as signal for fierce
and sometimes deadly combat.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

Testimony Before tie Committee AS to
How It Il Fixed. p
ST.. PAUL, June Is. Charles Canning
again took the stand when the wheat
investigation was resumed. Inspector
Clausen was after him with several per-
tinent questions, but the general answer
was II don't recollect."
Mr.. Erwin took the witness in hand,
but failed to induce him to remember
anything.
Mr. Canning corrected his statement
made the previous day that the farmers
we're compelled to sell their wheat early
and admitted that they could store it in
any of the elevators of the country until
the farmers sold their poorest wheat in
the fall, which would naturally tend to
make the proportion Of low grades
greater. And last. but not least, Can
ming admitted that he himself had taken
advantage Of the re-inspection rule,
which he was condemning, and had
thought it nothing wrong.
At the afternoon session Deputy In
spector Hammond. of Duluth, was
placed on the stand. The witness knew
nothing as to the raising of the grade by
Cross, but he said the invariable rule Of
the department was to deal literally
with the shipper in grading.
George Tileston, OF St. Cloud, gave
some interesting testimony on the way
the line elevators regulated the price of
wheat in the country. He understood
these representatives held meetings &C.
casionally and arranged matters, but
did not think there was a combination
to regulate arbitrarily the price of grain.
He understood that if at certain
seasons some of these elevators closed
that they share the profits of those run
ming.
Assistant Attorney General ChiIds
questioned the gentleman from St.
Cloud as to whether he knew that
Frank Irons. Of Minneapolis, furnished
price lists to all the lawyers of tho
Northwest.
MI. Tileston had understood that he
did. The witness acknowledged that
it would appear that the elevator COM
pany had been governed by the same
list.

he distributed free tickets to the proprietor

Then came the great day, momentous to
all the town and country side. The circus
had arrived like a thief in the night, and
put up it's canva in Jones' vacant lot some
three blocks from the court house. On the
tents tall roof there waved in the morning
air innumerable- banners-the flags of all
nations the announcements called them.
At the rear were parked the vans, and from
the interior rose ever and anoh the trum-
peting of the celebrated trained elephant
or the growls of the royal Bengal tiger.

smiling sweethearts. The old folks fol-

TWO COLLEGE PRESIDENTS,
Each Is Quite Young. and Both Have
Enviable Records.

Each Is Quite Young, and Both Have
Enviable Records.
Decidedly the youngest college president
in America, and probably the youngest in
the world, is President A. E. Turner, of
the Cumberland Presbyterian college, at
Lincoln, Neb This institution was first
opened for students in 1866, and has had
four presidents, Mr.. Turner the last. He
was born i'll 1862, entered the institution Of
which he is president at the age of fifteen,
graduated in 1881, was principal of Ash
more Qlls.) seminary for three years, and
then became professor of natural sciences,
at Lincoln. In 1888, when lacking some
weeks of twenty-eight years, he was made
president. The institution has fourished
under his control, and now, at the age of
twenty-nine, he holds an honorable place
among educators.
Another youthful professor, whose work
is yet to come, however, is DR.. William
Rainey Harper, who was unanimously
elected president of the University of
Chicago at the first meeting of the trustees
after their board was Incorporated. He
was born in New Concord, Muskingum
county, O., July %, 1856, entered the Musk
ingum college at ten, and took his degree.

the famous reply to Pope. He had ventured
to suggest in q discussion of the correct
rendering Of a certain Greek line that an
Interrogation point placer after the line
might throw light on it's meaning. Pope
turned sharply IN him and said in his well
known supercilious manner, "And perhaps

Argentine Recognizes the Insurgents,

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Advices from
Buenos Ayres state that the Argentine
courts have rendered a decision recog-
nizing the belligerency of the Gillian in
surgents. The litigation grew out of
the detention by the Buenos Ayres au-
thorities of certain wounded seamen of
the Gillian warship Pilcomayo, who
mutinied in the interests of the insur-
gent party while the Pilcomayo was in
that port, and were overpowered. The
court holds that they committed an act
Of war, and that the Argentine authori-
ties cannot hold them. Their detention
was originally an act of courtesy to the
Gillian government, there being no IA
cilities on board the man-of- war for
their proper care while imprisoned.

higher up to dig their houses out of the
snow or find them crushed to the ground
by it. Some of these people are sheep and
cattle men who own summer ranges for
their stock. They drive their herds up in
the summer and Jack to the plains, one or
two hundred miles distant, in the fall.
Sheep will travel over the snow if it is
hard enough to bear them. When they
strike snow the knowing sheep make good
time. They make for the feed which they
know lies a good many miles ahead down
on the eastern slope of the Sierras, where
the snow has melted of. The sheep men
put these knowing ones ahead of the band.
Where there is no snow they feed leisurely
as they go along, raise a great dust and
clamor and eat down to the grass roots.
Sheep driven through Tuolumne county
are taxed five cents per head. The Sonora
and Mono toll road expects a cent per
head.
The pine trees about us average ninety
feet in height. One of them in Central
park would be monarch of all it surveyed.
There are nine in a group, close to the tav-
ern, of that height. l will not dwell on
their beauty and grandeur. 1t would be
tiresome. The lumbermen long ago cut
down the best. They were much higher.
When the country below was full of min.
ers their sawmills buzzed everywhere in
these mountains. The waste of timber
then was woful. They would leave half Of
n of these magnificent trees to rot, using
only the thickest of the trunk. The young
pines which have since sprung up grow
very rapidly. Near the house is a clearing
on which grain was raised ten years ago.
1t is nov thickly covered with pines twenty
and thirty feet in height.
