A SinGular Fatality.

a singular fatality seems to attach to
the chair of English literature in the
State university in this city. Professor
Nilliken, the first incumbent, held it
four years and died. He was succeeded
by Professor Short, who also lived just
four wears. Professor A. II. Walsh, who
next took the chair, died exactly upon
the completion Of his fourth year of serv-
ice and was succeeded four years ago
by Professor Chalmers, who is now dying
at Sparta, Mich.-Columbus (O) Jour
nal.

Minister Damon then spoke at
some length on the system he had
adopted in conducting the finance
department He said that he had re-
ouested the different departments TO
give him, at the beginning OF each
month an estimate of the probable
amount required by them for the ex-
penses of that department, for sal
aries, supplies, etc, and that he had
found that such a system was great
help, as it was then possible to see
inst where the money was going, and
in what amounts. He had found the
system an admirable one, and that
the estimates as prepared by the
different heads of departments were
usually very close to the amount re-
ouired. He then said that the road
board, which, under the present law
ia NOT under the control of the gov
eminent, had expended considerable
money over which the minister of

CHICAGO, June "a 4-France is to have
special day at the fair, July IA, which
is observed as a national fete throughout
France. The program Of the ceremonies
has not yet been settled but Consul
General Bruwaert has the matter in
hand and will soon issue a program
of the day TO the French colony in the
city.
It is not expected that the day will in
any way compare with the German day
from the fact that the French colony in
the city is a small one The French
building will, however, be profusely dec
GRATED on the occasion and it viii be the
rendezvous for Frenchmen that day. It
is probable that banquet will be held in

HARTFORD, Cenn., June 24.--It is said
to be b. no means certain that Rev
Samuel Hart, D. D., of this city, who
was yesterday elected bishop Of the
diocese of Vermont at the special Epis
copal convention held in Burlington, Vt,
will accept the high office in the church
to which he is called.
Professor Hart says that he has not
yet arrived at any decision and will
not until after the anticipated visit to
the committee from the convention who
are expected here to-day.
They will formally notify him Of his
election and several days may elapse
before he announces his determination.
it is learned that it was intimated to
him several days ago that his name
might be presented for the vacant
bishopric and that then having re-
quested that the matter be not carried
any further, he supposed his name
would not be brought before the con-
vention.
The students of Trinity College are
arranging a meeting with the object of
formal request that he remain with the
institution. He has been so closely
identified with the management of the
college for many years that the trustees
and faculty will unite in urging him to
remain, aud the people of Hartford, by
whom he is widely known and respected,
will join to urge him to refuse the
bishopric and continue his residence

granted on account of loss of hair-on
account of badness. Think of the dimin
ishing effect upon a mans capacity to
earn a support by manual labor that
must result from the disability of bald

dence submitted to the House which
passed between Commissioner of Pen

mitted this correspondence together with
letter from Commissioner Raum in
which the latter stated that he 'felt
confident Mr.. Tarsney had been misin-
formed
Mr.. Tarsney in reply said he could not
produce the name of his informant because
the gentleman who had given him the
information was employed in the Pension
Office as a medical examiner and would
suffer dismissal if his name was pub
lished.
DR.. Warren Holt, of Missouri, medi
cal examiner of the Pension Office, it was
said later, had given Mr.. Tarsney the in.
