ONE KIND oFFUN.
Wesleyan students have more to con-
tend against than their brethren at Yale.
The ''cops" up there have shoaters and
use them too. The students have lately
had the habit of making life miserable for
the staid and conservative Middletownites
by posting green show bills on fences and
front doors. 1t was returning from one
of these escapades that Officer John Jugh's
thinking them to be burglars fred after
their rapidly retreating forms with his
42-calibre revolver. The bullet barely
missed one students head.
The event will probably instill for a
time more orderly habits on the part of
the students than term of the most care
full instruction.
Forty one candidates have presented
themselves to Captain Trafford for the
| next years football team. They began
their work yesterday afternoon with

Yale appears to be destined perhaps to
come in for an extra slice of the Fayer-
weather fortune. The three executors
have voluntarily Joined in an instrument
relinguishing any claim to the residuary
estate, which was considered to be worth
from 81 900, 900 to 81, 100000. By this in
| strument the amounts left to certain per-
sons and institutions has been materially
increased. Yale is fortunate to have the
sum of $15O,00O. The original bequest in
the will of Mr.. Fayerweather to Yale uni
