The habitual borrower is a social
nuisance that ought to be discouraged,
but sometimes 1t Is difficult TO get rid
Of that nuisance. A Maine woman
sent to the house Of her nearest neigh
Dor, according TO the Lewiston Jour

pair Of scissors. The neighbor was
using them, and sent back word ac-
cordingly. The would-be borrower was
not to be rebuffed so easily, and pres

WHERE Are THE OLD MEN9
A Question That Agitated vcnerabls
Inhabitant OF Maine.

n question InhC AKltotod NohcEbDi~
Inhabitant OF Maine.
The writer spent pleasant hour not
long ago with genial Maine gentle
man of more than middle age, and was
rather set back by his pointed question:
"What has become of the old men l knew
when l was boy2" At first thought
this involved question of futurity, to
answer which required lifting Of the
veil between this and the world be-
yond. But he presently explained him
self. "When was fifteen" he said,
"all those around me over thirty years
old seemed to be old men, and /
wondered how / should feel when so
many years had rolled over me. When
l got to be thirty or forty most every
body was fair and young, and only
those who were sixty or over seemed to
be old. And now that 1 have got to be
sixty everybody is young-just like me
and all those who formerly seemed old
are apparently just about my age.
There are no old folks now; all are
young men to my eyes; and what I
want to know is, what has become of
the old fellows?" This seems to be
a universal experience of humankind
We all remember the poem Of the old
man who sat on messy stone by the
roadside, "sadly musing," and to the
young miss who asked the cause of his
sorrow
"Angel, said he, sadly, II an old
My earthly hope no longer hath morrow"
From this view of himself it becomes
almost matter of certainty that a
young person, to whom age seemed
distant thing, wrote the poem, and
that the alleged feelings of the old man
are purely imaginary, for it was, at
heart, young fellow who must have
sat on the stone

AMERICAN HISTORY.
THE COMING CONVENTION or ITS
LEADING exPoNENTS.

Increased Interest In the Study of History
I'm American Schools and Colleges and
Improved Tethod Of Teaching-The In
fnence of Professor White.
Authors and readers alike look eagerly
for the reports of the July conventions
mt Chicago, whittier writers, librarians,
philologists and dabblers In folklore are
now taking their course frSsn all parts
of the civilized world. Naturally Amer.
leans will be most numerous, and OF
gatherings which may be called exclu.
sively American by far the most impor,
tant and interesting will be the ninth
annual meeting of the American Histor.
ical association.
No other organization has gained in
general interest more rapidly than this
has in its nine years of existence, and lit.
tie wonder, as its membership comprises
such men as DIR. Andrew d. White, for.
merly of Cornell; James b. Angel OF
Michigan university, Justin Winsor,
Charles Il. Adams, Hon. George Bouri-
not, Hon. John Jay and many Others
scarcely inferior in reputation, the total
making nearly TOO of the most thorough
scholars and earnest searchers after
truth in the world. And of all these
DR.. White is probably entitled to tn.
first honor for having led the way in
making history a science in American
colleges.

try. The prince is a grandson OF the
Lucien who was a brother of the great
Napoleon and a son of that Pierre Bona
parte who shot Victor Noir. Prince
Peter, as that Pierre was called by Amer
leans in Paris, was the black sheep of
the Bonaparte family and was the only
one of them forbidden access to the Tuil-
cries by his cousin, Louis Napoleon.
Prince Peter lived many years with a
modiste who formerly kept a shop In
Bond street, London, and their two
children, Roland and Jeanne, were born
some years before their parents con-
cluded to marry. After the death Of the
prince, his widow, known as Princess
Peter, lived in poverty till she sue
ceeded in marrying her son Roland to
Mile. Blanc, daughter of the proprietor
Of the gaming tables at Monte Carlo.
She died a few years ago, and Prince
Roland is rich.
He is only a prince by title, however.
as the Bonapartes hold no rank in
France. He was even compelled to re-
sign his ~lieutenant's commission in the
army, but did not have to leave France,
as many other princelings did. He is a
handsome and stalwart man, six inches
taller than his great-uncle, the famous
Corsican, and made a favorable impress
mon on all he met in America. He
crossed the continent, went up to Brit
ish Columbia and returned by way of
Winnipeg and Chicago.
In New York and Chicago alike Prince
Roland took q deep interest in social
studies. He read q very interesting pa
per before the international congress OF
anthropology on Surinam and made a
short address on the Laps, among whom
he had travelled two months. He also
presented to the American Academy OF
Anthropology copies Of his books to the
number Of five. He has no political as
pirations whatever and is wholly de
voted to science.

At the sixth annual meeting of the as.
ISOLATION, held in Washington city in
1889, President Charles K. Adams of
Cornell rendered a high compliment to
his predecessor by a simple statement of
the admitted facts that down to 1857 the
study of history in colleges was no more
than a dry and formal textbook affair
and that in 20 years thereafter it took
high rank among the independent
courses.
In October, 1857. the students at Ann
Arbor, Mich, were surprised and not a
little amused to see seated among the
professors a very young and fair gentle
man of strikingly modest mien whom
one of them had just addressed on the
campus with the current satirical ques.
tons: "Going to enter freshman, Ell:
Classical? Well, look out for old Boise
Greek professor)! He's your toughest
pill"
1t was the new professor of history and
literature, Andrew Dickson White, who
had been graduated from Yale in 1853,
had passed three years in Europe, first at
Paris and Berlin as student, and then
at st. Petersburg as an attache of the
American legation, and had then devot-
ed a year at Yale to historical studies.
He was ever then but 25 years old and
SO very youthful looking that the sophie
more who ''chaffed" him declared that
he took him to be 1T or thereabouts."
In five years be had made history the
favorite study in the University of Michi.
gan.
About 1870 all the colleges seemed
moved with a desire to raise history TO a
higher rank in their curricula, and in
1881 Cornell for the first time gave the
entire service Of n professor to that
subject, Professor Moses Colt Tyler being
the man. AT Cambridge seven profess
ors and teachers are now employed, and
eighteen courses are offered; at Yale two
or three professors are engaged in>this
work and at Cornell four. At Johns
Hopkins a different system was adopted,
the plan being to encourage independent
work. Finally, in 1884 the present as
ISOLATION was organized, and its progress
has been ~phenomenally rapid.
Dr. James Burrill Angel, president of
the association, also president of Michi-
gan university, was born in Scituate,
r. l., Jan. 7, 1927, and was graduated
from Brown university in 1850. Since
that date he has divided his time almost
equally between university work and the
life OF a literary man and a ~diplomatist.

ed, and now the nation, through its su-
preme legislature. says 1.-The Chinese
must 60"
Dennis Kearney was born in Oakmont,
County Cork, Ireland, went to sea when
a small boy, reached New York as q
sailor at the age of II, andat 10 was cap.
tain of a sailing vessel. Evidently such
a man had a good deal in him. His edu.
cation was such as he could acquire
while at sea, his strong point being a
marvellous command of vituperative
rhetoric. His ideas of English may be
judged from his favorite expression,
''lecherous bondholders." Hepronounced
it ''leecherous'' and took it to mean hav.
ing the nature of a leech.
In 1877 he led in organizing the Work.
ingmen's party, which carried the state a
year or two later and embodied its views
in that peculiar organic law familiarly
known as the Denis Kearney consti-
tuition" He is far from attractive in
personal appearance and has very little
of what is called magnetism, but he
talks to plain people in a way they un-
derstand, not always sparing profanity.
In July, 1878, he opened in Boston his
famous eastern campaign. After max
ing many addresses in various cities he
returned to San Francisco and once
more became 1.-The agitator of the sand
lots"
But his second campaign was an APP
parent failure, and in 1880 the working
men deposed him from the presidency
of their organization. In 1883 he went
to New York, but the Yorkingmen voted
against having him speak for them. 1t
was in 1868 that he arrived in San Fran
cisco as captain of a sailing vessel and
500 after became a drayman, and in
1885 it was reported that he was again a
drayman and silent in politics. But in
1888 he vas in Washington working for
the passage of the Chinese exclusion bill,
and now it appears that he is again a
power in San Francisco. Be his faults
as many and as great as is charged, still
he must be credited OF charged with Civ
ing the initial impulse to the movement
which has resulted in excluding the Chi
nese.

RATS GNAwED AT A coRPsE.


1rightfal Condition OF John Dnlon's
Body In . Tacoma Lodging House.
TACOMA, May 4-[Special. John Dill
lon. railroad laborer, was found dead
this morning in q room in . lodging house
over the Green Tree saloon. He had been
dead several hours. and had leaned out Of
bed in such way As to drive the blood to
his head, making his face black and
forcing the blood out of his nose, eyes and
ears. Worst Of all, rats had added to the
uncanny sight by gnawing holes in Dill
Ions fingers and toes. and then, with
blood-wet feet, tracked about on the floor
and to their holes.
Dillon may have died Of dose of poison
administered BY himself He had been
ailing since coming here on Saturday from
Sumner. and had had DR.. Day. formerly
of Chehaiis, prescribe for him. He was
given liniment containing gelsemium.
The latter was in . bottle by itself when
he got it, but the residue of it in . bottle
evidently had been tampered with. The
druggist who put up the medicine says
that about forty drops of the fluid found
in the bottle would cause death. Dillon
had been suffering with cramps when put
to bed last night. and may have while suf.
fering swallowed q mouthful of the medi-
cine.
He had ben drinking heavily, spending
the money that he brought here from
Sumner. OF his money the bartender of
the Green Tree took SIS last night for safe
keeping. When put to bed the landlady
says Dillon was drunk and not suffering
from cramps. An autopsy and inquest
will probably be held tomorrow by Coroner

CHICAGO, May 3.-tSpecial. with the

ing to it from all quarters of the globe. the
Washington state building presents
splendid appearance In the general rush
and turmoil. Situated a. it is at the most
important entrance to the grounds-the
Fifty-seventh street entrance-it Is an
object that at once attracts the atten-
ton of the vast volume of people
who all day long pour in through
these gates. 1t. in fact, compels at
tention not less by Its thoroughly
characteristic construction than by the
vivid and yet artistic colors with which it
is decorated. At first it was intended to
leave the roof unpainted, in order to show
the character Of the shingles used, but
Chief of Works Burnham did not like this.
He sent instructions that on account of
the danger of fire the roofs must be
painted. Executive Commissioners Cal
noun and Contractor Evans put
their heads together and decided on
what has certainly q fine and strik-
ing effect "A vivid grass green.
1t harmonizes we'll with the other
colors of the structure, and, beside, can
be seen for blocks down the railroad
tracks. In fact, 1t is q common thing
when riding on the Illinois Central to the
fair grounds to hear visitors inquirine Of
each other: "What 10 that beautiful build.
