Director General Davis, IN North American Review.
The average daily attendance at the Cen.
tennlal was &c 1873: the largest attendance
was 4919; the smallest. II. go. The daily
average at Paris was 130, 900; the largest
single days admission. 100000. While the
circumstances and conditions surrounding
the Columbia Exposition differ materi.
ally from those of either the Centennial or
Paris exhibition, the divergence is not
great enough TO affect q very clear con-
clusion from the figures given. The M.
avOidable inference drawn from every
international fair is this: The attendance
is very largely drawn from the population
within q limited radius from the site Of
statistics of the Paris exhibition show'that
on days when the attendance averaged
ESQ 000 at least 190. 600 came from Paris and
it's enviroDs. Allowing for the difference
In national habits which makes the Amer
lean regard a trip from San Francisco TO
Chicago with greater readiness than the
Frenchman does q journey TO Berlin; al
lowing, too, for the unlimited stimulus TO
travel gwen by the excursion system
planned by the railroads of this country
for the coming event-taking every possl-
bic factor into account, it seems hardly
possible that more than an average of two
hundred thousand nonresidents Will be IN
Chicago during the exposition. Assuming
then. that two hundred thousand will be
the largest average of strangers needing
food and lodging in the city. no one
familiar with the situation would hesitate
to declare that the ordinary rule of sup
ply and demand Will prevail throughout
the six months and that she price of liv-
ing will be as reasonable could be ex.
Dected.

Kokomo Officials Let Crazy Train Wreck
err and Barn Burner Escape
Special 70 tho Indianapolis Journal
KOKOMo, Ind, March 2S.-This commun-
ity is very much exercised over the escape
from Jail of Theodore Morgan. half-wit-
ted young man arrested last fall far barn
burning and ain-wrecklng. While being
taken from the Jail TO the county
asylum Saturday he broke away from
the attendants. and has not since
been heard of. His mind is unbalanced.
He has an inordinate desire for destroying
property. Last September he burned five
large barns filled with grain. among them
being those of County Clerk V. ID.
Ellis and Colonel Hadley. The same
week he wrecked an L., +. az w.
b. claiming tie on the track. He H.
tended TO catch the midnight ger,
and the special was all that saved a terrl-
Bile calamity. Though weak-minded. in
this business he displayed the most re-
markable cunning and ingenuity. he
bad been committing acts of van
dalism for years. and evaded detection
until caught by mere accident. He was
tried Tor the acts. which he confessed with
out hssitancy. but was held not response
bic and ordered sent to the insane asylum.
The officials of that institution. however.
would not receive him. contending that he
was an idiot, and that he conld
not be cared for In the asylum.
For want of better place, young
Morgan has been confined in the county
Jail for seven months. The sheriff took
him ont for an airing occasionally, and as
he manifested no further inclination to do
violence, took him to the poor farm. His
escape naturally creates great alarm. and
fears are entertained that ne Is IN hiding
and will pursue his old habit OF barn burn
ing and train wreckIng. He Is regarded as
extremely dangerous to be at large.

STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENCY.

DR.. Coulter Hears Appeal to Remain,
but Firmly Declines.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
BLooMINGToN, Ind. March 2s.-The
board of trustees of Indiana University
have been in session all day attempting to
solve the presidency question for the insti-
tuition, but, unsble to do this, it has been
decided to canvass the matter for Q few
weeks when q selection will be made.
With one exception all the embers are
present. Owing to sickness ex-senator
Zouchee, of Crown Point. Is unable to at
tend. The resignation of DR.. j. NJ. Coul-
ter was already in the hands of
the board. DR.. C0ulter's resignation
stated that he had been offered po-
sition where the salary was 5000
more than he was receiving. and that. in
Justice to himself and family. he felt un-
der bligations TO accept the position. He
then refers to the probable action of the
board In Offering on increase of salary here,
and thinks that this would not be wise "a
the same favor could not be shown other
deserving members OF the faculty, which
would work an injustice, and perhaps lead
to ill feeling. DIR. Coulter appeared before
the board. and made a verbal statement of
his case. and, on the request of the board.
named several persons who might be con-
sidered for the presidency.
After q thorough discussion of the
matter. the result of this mornings session
was that committee headed by Colonel
Robertson was instructed to call on Dr.
Coulter at the college. which they did.
The president was given to understand
that the board was very anxious for him TO
remain and that as an inducement they
proposed making the consideration some
thing in keeping with the other PROPOSE
tions before him. In reply DR.. Coulter
stated that the matter had gone too
far as he lad virtually accepted
the presidency at Lake Forest; there
fore, while he was grateful for
the offer. he could not withdraw hrs resig-
nation and he could not now ask TO be re-
leased from the other position. The board
took this as final and the question now is
who will they select for the vacancy. Ii Is
virtually decided that no decision will be
made at present, but q meeting will be
called later to decide on the matter. The
board will adjourn in the morning. The
President of Indiana University now gets
$4,000 while the Lake Forest offer. as al
ready announced is $1,000. and In addition
beautiful homo for the presi-
dent The board finds that
the additional appropriation of $4,000 for
the general expenses is not going TO 60
ronnd. 1t is stated that applications for in
creases have been made by varions men,
bers OF the faculty TO take up more than
that amount and in addition TO this there
are other increases in expense that call for
half as much more.

operators in the meantime have been deal
ing with organized miners. The net result
is that the cost of block coal mining has
been reduced TO within cents a ton of the
price of bituminus mining instead of with
in 10 and 20 cents as formerly. But the
block coal people have not profited ac-
cordingly. Their coal was out OF the mar

were resumed they were forced to cut the
price TO get into the market again. Al
though the output last year was 1.40O.000

they OK pected to be. If they should join
the bituminous operators the block coal
