THE PASSING THRONG.

Professor John Hamilton, who has been in
the city for few days the guest of John W.
Heston, principal of tho High school, will
leave today for his home in Pennsylvania He
is treasurer OF the Pennsylvania state college
near Bellefonte. an industrial institution which
now stands we'll in the state ami is doing great
work in the line OF education OF the hand, head
and heart together. He said yesterday that the

81 have had no time to examine into your pub
lie schools" he said, "but l have been told
about your state university's proposed new

spent for putting in good professors
and giving to the institution all
possible facilities for proper educa-

university should be well advertised. No Wis.,
itor should be allowed to depart from the city
without having seen it. schools and churches

SO much room a. exists in this city, the people
seemed bent on crowding their houses so close
together. He had met q number of his old
students out here on the Coast. All of them
seemed TO be prospering. and he had therefore
enjoyed his trip out here extremely well.

went into the convention to win if
possible. When they found that out OF
the question, agreement was made that
Hill and his friends would help Cleveland carry
New York if the latter, four years hence, would
throw his strength to Hill. This, l think, will
compel Hill to work hard in New York, as
Cleveland's defeat there would lead the people
