BETTING oN THE SENIOR wRANeLeR.
Story OF she Undergraduate Days of the
Late Professor Adams.

A Story Of She Undergraduate Days Of the
Late Professor Adams.
was an undergraduate Of st. Johns
college, Cambridge, when the late Pro
fessor Adams was there as an under
graduate also. well remember his ap-
pearance. He was rather small man,
who walked quickly and wore faded
coat Of dark green. AS l had entered as
pensioner and he as sizar, we did not
sit at the same table in hall or indeed
dine at the same hour. In my time the
Fellows hall and ours was at o'clock,
the STARS (who had some dishes left
from the Fellows table, at 8. Chapel
was at O. when every member Of the
college was due and when some came.
Fellow commoners and pensioners saw
but little of the sizars as u rule, and
fear they were looked down upon ON ac-
count of their poverty, except indeed
those few who were certain TO do great
credit to the college. The fastest and
the vainest man would have been civil
to Adams, for he was known to be a
pretty certain Senior Wrangler; besides
men bet on him and backed him as they
would race horse But he was so ex-
ceedingly good, so unusually safe, so ut
terly and entirely the favorite that odds
were laid on him at 3, or even 4 to 1.
Men little thought indeed that he
would very shortly discover comet,
and that science all through the world
would leap" him in concert with the un-
dergraduates to whom he soon became
a mighty don, though l believe one of
the most gentle and unassuming that
ever lived.
A couple of days after Adams had
come out Senior Wrangler, knocked in
late and had chat with Ballard, the
porter, before going to my rooms. said,
"Well, Ballard, we've got the Senior
Wrangler, but that was Of course" Bal
lard looked glum. | could not under
stand 1t, for he was as proud of the col
lege as any of its members. "Ah, sir, "
he said. "Mr. Adams did not behave well
to me-" Not well to you! Why, what
on earth has he done?" II have lost CO
by him, SIR" How" "Mr. Adams is
not gentleman as often knocks in late,
but two nights before he went into the
senate house he did. and made so bold
as to say, Mr.. Adams, / hope no offense,
sir, but suppose you are certain to be
Senior Wrangler, because l have laid
ei0 on it already and l have n chance Of
laying another e5.' Now you'd hardly
believe it, sir. but Mr.. Adams told me
there was no certainty at all about it,
and that he might come out second OF
third when all the while he must have
known he was dead certain"
"Well." said, II don't know what he
knew, but all the university knew. But
how did you lose your e5f' "By not put
ting it on, sir. which should have done
if he hadn't knocked in late. kept the
e10 on, however, and won what came OF
that" So really Mr.. Ballard had not
very much to complain of.-Londor

Mr.. Kennan's Serious Charge.

George Kennan, the Siberian traveller,
writing on the Russian extradition treaty
in The Forum, makes the startling as
sertion ION the highest authority" that
even now "the Russian secret police at
st. Petersburg open and read the pri-
vate letters Of the American minister
and the members of the American lega-
tion." He adds significantly: "It seems
to me that government which makes a
practice Of opening and reading not only
the private letters of its own subjects,
but the letters Of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of friendly state, is not a
government upon whose honor it is safe
to rely in question of extradition."

Woman and Comic Papers.

A man said the other day that in rid

for years he had never yet seen woman
buy one of the comic weeklies, though
they sold by dozens to the men travellers.
1t would be interesting to know what
kink is missing from the female mental

it is nothing short of boon to be able
to see the funny side of life. 1t helps

tumn, the important reductions in tariff
duties on cotton textiles and printing
paper. Heis by tradition and sympathy a
low tariff man and opposed to excessive
protective duties. Ills policy is to move

policy of the Government to changed con-

scenes and Incidents.
CHICAGO, July M.-The White City was
deserted yesterday. The Sunday closing
order was rigidly enforced, and any person
who entered the exposition grounds had
to prove that his presence there was abso-
lutely necessary Only two gates were
open, and these were for passholders.
The nearest approach to disturbance
was at o'clock, when drink-fushed in
dividual mounted box across the street
from the Fifty-seventh street entrance
and called vociferously for 100 volunteers
to aid him in tearing down the fence in
order to allow poor laboring men to see
the fair free. A policeman took the man
away.
Toward noon man appeared at the
Sixty-fourth street gate and offered a
ticket for admission and was refused. He
then took the numbers Of the gatemen
who refused to let him in. 1t is supposed
he was securing evidence for prosecuting
the exposition officials for contempt OF
court, Judge Stein having granted an in
junction TO restrain the officials from
closing the fair Sundays
