There are some interesting women on the
"Board of Lady Managers of the Worlds

proportion of them are unmarried. The
youngest of them all is Miss Laurette Low

poets to exhibit at the Fair creole kitchen
and an Acadian settlement. The member
from Oklahoma, Mrs. Beeson, is dainty
little blond-haired creature who makes up
in enthusiasm what she lacks in stature.
She says that Oklahoma is paradise for
progressive femininity, for there women
are engaged in every occupation from rails
ing corn and cobbling shoes to editing
newspapers.
According to the Omaha Bee, the figure
nine is curiously and intimately
connected with all the great
gold-mining excitements of the nine
teenth century. The grest Algeria gold
bubble, it says, formed and broke in 1909.
Next came the Mantasau Mountain craze
in 1899, when solid boulders of gold as
large as -four barrels were reported. The
California gold fever broke out in 1s49,
and ragged until counteracted by the Pixies
Peak boom in 1859. Ten years later, in
1869, 'Old Virginny," the celebrated miner,
struck the lucky lead which made Virgin
ia City and Nevada famous in the mining
annals of the world. Eighteen hundred
and seventy nine came in on time with the
Leadville frenzy and the famous carbon
ates" of Lake County, Colorado. Eighteen
hundred and eighty-nine broke the charm,
but 1899 may make up for lost time, there
being two mines in that date.

Two Funny Stories.

Here is q story told by Sir C. Eastlake
of Hayden, very characteristic, it is to be
feared, of that unfortunate artist:
'We were talking of theatrical recollec-
tions. and Eastlake said he remembered
the %. p riots, and was present on the
first night when they broke out. Hayden
had said, My boy, we will go to theatre
And to the theatre accordingly they went;
to the boxes of course, for Hayden loved
everything of the best. When they came
to the door, Hayden said, You'll pay for
me, my boy, and we'll settle it when we
settle the other little matters When they
got into the box, they found the place in
an uproar, and both of them entered fully
into the spirit of it. On coming away,
Hayden said, My boy We mnst see this
out. This is gloriousn So they went the
next night, when there was the same de-
mand, Now, my boy, you'll pay And
thirteen nights did this continue, much to
my horror said Eastlake, 'as l was but q
student with very limited allowance, and
this made a great hole in it. 1t was a
strange way of taken care of me, and, after
all, the 80. P" tired US out Did you
ever get psid!" 'Oh mol Paid! No! but
/ got advice, which was worth much to
me. Soon after this, he said to me, "Well,
my boy, we'll go to Hampton court" And
so we went, and this was added to the 9TH
er little matters for future settlement.
Another day he came to ask me to Join him
in visit to the tower He had borrowed
some armor, and was about to return it.
So it was put into q hackney coach, and
we started with it. OF course l paid the
coach, and as We paced through the armory,
he said, 81 may have to borrow again, we
must be.iiheral TO the servants. have Won
any half-crownsi" These also were placed
with the little account between us, which
never got settled"
Another story similar in character is re-
lated of Herbert. Its whimsicality will in
cline the leader to forgive the artist, al
though Landseer could not:
George Leslie, who was dining with us
last week, told us an amusing anecdote of
Edwin Landseer and Herbert They were
in the Athenaeum after one of our Acad-
emy meetings, and Landseer called for
sherry and sodawater, and Herbert in his
broken English, said to the waiter, Some
of zat also to me- When il came he said:
"Ah, 1 shall have no money; pay for me,
Landseer." Landseer paid somewhat un-
willingly, and shortly afterward they went
out together. Herbert then stopped to lis
ten to some beggar in the street. 'Ah.
stay bit, want to do leetle charity;
but you, my dead friend, must lend me
shilling Herbert then retired TO do his
bit of charity. He again rejoined Ser Ed

GLOW doth the little busy bee" An
enthusiast on the subject states that each
head of clover is composed of about sixty
distinct flower tubes, and each of these

the honey bee must therefore be inserted
| into 500 clover tubes before one grain of
| sugar can be obtained. There are 1000
grains in a pound, and as honey contains
three-fourths of its weight of dry sugar,
each pound of clover honey would repre-
sent the insertion of the proboscis into
2,500, 900 clover heads.

BLooMINGTON, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE board
OF trustees Of Indiana University have ad-
journed after Q weeks session. 1t was the
annual financial meeting Of the year, and
while there was much done Of Importance
to the welfare of the institution. yet there
was little Of general interest. 1t was the
first meeting of the board after the admin
istration of DR.. Coulter. and the various
members individually speak in the highest
terms of the new president. The attend
ance is the largest in the history of the in
stitution. The new members of the faculty
that began work with the fall term are also
spoken of in the highest terms
A letter from Prof. Benz amin Snow ao-
cepts the position of the chair of physics,
to which he was elected some months ago.
He IS young man and is now completing q
two years course In Berlin, where he is do
ing special work in his line. He is q grad
uate of Cornell in 1855 and has also COM
pieted the postgraduate work. After much
petitlonlng the board made an allowance
of 1000 for the erection of q gymnasium.
Only frame building will be erected at
present. 1t is also quite evident that some
arrangements will soon have to be made
for the accommodations of students of the
various departments. as the rooms are be-
coming very much crowded and the board
is in quandary. The term of the three
alumni trustees elected last June were
fixed by casting lots as the law prescribes
that one shall be elected for one year, one
for two and one for three years. The long
term was drawn By Edward Corr, of this
this city; the two-year term by Isaac Ley
den. of New Albany, and the one-y y ear term
by Colonel Jordan. of MartInsville The
following appropriations were made:
Salaries OF professors and instructor 8. S41,-
300; officers, S. 100; trustees 50 900; library,
S6013: law library. $500; physics. sl0O;
Professor Foley. for constructing apparatus,

scopes, S2l0: material to add to collection,
$500; Latin. $3.50; zoology. $780, Greek, S25:
ladies' gymnasium. SIS: botany, $3.50.
In addition 10 the above, an appropria-
tion of S100 was made for fitting up the
basement of Owen Hall forgeological de-
partment, and $50 for enlarging the botani-
cal department. There was also $500 ap-
propriated for improving and fitting up
buildings and grounds. The summer
school was allowed se5 for advertising pur-
poses, and the usual subsidy of $3.50 was
given the college paper. For Constructing
and equipping the mems gymnasium, to be
paid out of the contingent fund" 81 900
was allowed. The total amount appropri-
ated is S44,300.

Though About to Expire, the Bell Company
Will Continue Its Monopoly.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WARRINGTON, Nov. u.-While Commits
sioner of Patents SImonds is undoubtedly
correct in stating, as he did to-day, that no
new patent has recently been issued to the
Bell Telephone Company which secures il
the continued control of the telephone bus
mess, it is learned from an authoritative
source that there is now pending In the
Patent Office an application for one or moro
patents the granting of which, it is ex-
pected, will enable the Bell Telephone Com
pany to defy all competitors and crush any
projected opposition. The details regard
ing these new patents are not obtainable at
this time. Under the rules of the Office an
application can be filed and the applicant
has two years in which to prosecute the
claim. II it is to the interest Of tho in
ventor to delay matters as long as possible
and postpone the inssuance of the pat
ent for q number of years he can
easily do so. By making this claim Cd
broad as to be absurd he can, before the
expiration of the two years, modify It in
some immaterial respects, SO as 20 give him
another two years. during which time his
device Is buried In the secret archives of
the office. If he wants action still further
postponed 1t Is easy enough to get mp fcti-
tious litigation, and by stubborn fighting
and appealing consume a great deal more
time. The case of Drawbaugh, who
claimed priority of invention IN the tele-
phone, has dragged along before the Office
since 1850. and was only decided q few days
ago.
1t is intimated that the Bell company
might have prosecuted it's claim to o sue
cessful issue long ago had it been SO in
cllned, but 1t has been to the company'e
advantage to postpone issuance Of
the patent. Some of the fundamen tai
patents which now secure to it o
control of the business will expire in
few years, and at the expiration
everyone could make and operate tele-
phones. If. however, the company has
patents which will increase the efficiency
of the instrument 1t is to its advantage to
keep this fact secret until the time the old
patents expire. when, by placing the newly
patented instrument on the market, it will
have secured another lease of seventeen
years of the business.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-A dispatch from

Credence is not here given to either of
