decision was handed down Yesterday in
London in the case of the queen against one of
the papers that were conducting the missing
word competitions. which were stopped by the
court because of the fact that the word Com

the scheme, was an infringement of the gaming
act. When this decision was made the proprie-
tors had on hand the money sent in with guesses
of one missing word. This sum amounted to
f24. coo, and question arose as to what dispo-
sition should be made Of it. The addresses of
persons who had not guessed the proper word
had been destroyed, SO it was impossible to re-
turn the money. and the ruling of the court

The home rule system OF taxation in the

in this village, bu. is principally asitated in
Baltimore. The idea is that the city of Balti-
more and the counties should have the privi-
lese Of levying their own taxes. Some of our
citizens who are opposed to the single tax
principle nevertheless believe that every town
and county should be allowed the right of

SIGMA CHI's PROBLEM.

Mr.. Cleveland Has Been Elected an Honorary
Member, but 10 Not Eligible.
There wsS much secrecy and much hand
shaking, wherein the little finger played an
important part, at the house of the Rev. T. A.
K. Gessler, No. 107 East l03d street, New York,
Monday night. Members of the Alumni Chapter
of the Sigma Chi Fraternity were in session
devising ways and means to get President-elect
Grover Cleveland initiated a member.
With any other secret society there would be
only these questions to answer: First, "Do we
want him?" second, "Can we get him?' third
where can we borrow goat2''
But there are more frills to a college Greek
letter fraternity than there are to an ordinary
life insurance society, with a little red fire on
the side. The Theta Theta Chapter of Sigma
Chi wants Mr.. Cleveland, and Mr.. Cleveland,
they say, is willing. Theta Theta is the only
chapter of the fraternity which is professional
one. 1t is in the law department of the Uni
versity of Michigan, at Ann Arbor. Sigma Chi,
at the time the impulsive Theta Theta Chapter
rushed Mr.. Cleveland, did not approve OF
mis- election.
Now that he has been chosen President the
opposition has died down, but it is by no means
certain that it is hushed up yet II it had been
a sure thing that the grand council Of the fra
ternity was willing to let in a non-college man,
they would probably have been a little more
communicative. There was nothing given
out to the public of last nights
meeting. 1t may have been because Grand
Counsel Reginald Fendall of this city, who was
to have gone up to attend the meeting. did not
arrive, and nobody from the grand council
gave permission for the initiation to 60 ahead.
Mr. Cleveland said that he knew nothing of the
matter save what he had learned from the
papers.
