Will Remain at Gettysburg.

The board of directors of the Luth-
eran Theological Seminary at Gettys-
bur. met in that place few days ago
and the question of removal was
brought before the board. \ large
number of the prominent preachers
of the church participated Ill the dis
cussion as to removal. Rev. DIR. But
Ter. of Washington, ID. c., made Il
strong plea for Georgetown, ID. u,
and offered a site with buildings at
that place, but the proposition was
rejected by the board.
In view of the historic Importance,
as well as the value of the buildings
on the present site, and the bequest
of So. 900 by the late Matthew Eich-
elberger, of Gettysburg, it was by al,
most unanimous consent of the board
decided TO leave the institution re
main where it is, and thereby avoid
all legal difficulties that would pre-
sent themselves in a removal.
Repairs to the old building amount
ing to about $4,000 were ordered. The
board will also erect a new building
for recitation halls and library to cost
$4,000. 1t was also decided to in
crease the institutions usefulness by
the addition of several members to
the faculty.

WILL BE OPEN ON SUNDAY.

The courts have decided that the
Worlds Fair may be opened on Sun
day. The government entered its
protest in the proper legal way and
did what it could to keep the gates
closed. The courts having ordered
the gates open, the government will
submit gracefully. OF course, it is
morally wrong that this show shall
exhibit on Sunday. 1t is an offense
against our national decency. But
the management of the Worlds Fair
are actuated only by one motive-to
get every cent possible ifrom the peo-
pie. Every strolling circus in the
land yields to the demand Of public
propriety and closes its show on the
Sabbath day. The Worlds Fair peo-
pie are below the level of the circus
man. \ certain element of the god
less people of Chicago clamor for the
opening of the fair-the managers
note that there are dollars in sight
and regardless of every other consid-
GRAFTON the gates click a lively tune
on Sunday as the half dollars drop
into the slot.
There is no public demand for Sun
day opening from the people of this
country. The people ofChicago who
cannot or will not lose time on week
DAYS to attend the fair and those who
will be pecuniarily benefited are
about the only advocates of it. The
visitorsdo not desire it. He who visits
the fair six days in week will not
want TO 90 on the seventh. 1t takes
the strength of an OK to stand 1t that
long. The argument that if the fair
is closed the visitors will be compelled
to seek other amuselnents far less in
nocent is all bosh. Visitors will be
glad enough to rest on Sunday. II
they are not tired out, there are plen-
ty of churches-even in Chicago
where they may have physical and
spiritual and mental comfort.

The President Growing Fatter.

The Washing Post says: In defiance
of hard work and the heavy respon-
sibility resting upon him, the Presl-
dent is steadily gaining in avoirdu-
pois. His increased weight has be
gun to be inconvenient. Already the
effort of walking has become bur
den, and Mr.. Cleveland finds himself
forced to forego much of his customa-
nv exercise. This is a source OF keen
regret to him, and in order to reduce
his size the chief executive is quietly
pursuing the Banting system. Two
meals a day is all that he allows him
self-a light breakfast and dinner
with simple meats and spring vegta-
bles. Since taking possession OF his
country residence the customary MD
dav luncheon has been religlously
omitted, and in this way the Presl-
dent finds additional time for work,
TO which he devotes himself cOnSclen-
tiously from the time he reaches the
white house in the morning until close
on to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, at
which hour Mrs. Cleveland drives IN,
seated in her stylish landau, and splr-
its her husband away from all worries
out into the fresh green fields and dat
sv spangled meadows. In the peace
full retreat on Woodley lane their
evenings are spent in undlsturOed en-
ioVment, save for occasional visits
| from members of the cabinet and 9th
| er personal friends.

THE usual annual row at the State
University at Morgantown is on. AT
the meeting of the board Of regents
Of that institution last week the presi-
dent brought charges against the
professors and the professors brought
charges against the president. The
i'll feeling existing between the presi-
dent and some of the members OF the
faculty is Of the bitterest sort, and
can only result in harm 10 the Uni
yersity. The regents were unable to
settle the quarrel last week and ad-
iourped until July Goth, when the
whole subject will be taken up and
disposed of. To outsiders it looks as
though q general clearing out is need
ed at the anniversary. 1t is pretty
certain that as long as the present ad-
ninistration is in power there will be
plotting and intrigue from the inside
and the outside that cannot but harm

Flying From the Fever.

Dispatches from IronwOod, Mich,
saws that that town is suffering from
the worst epidemic of typhoid fever
ever known in Michigan. There are
four hundred cases now and the pub
lie buildings are turned into hospl-
tails. Thirty to fifty new cases daily
and fifty to sixty deaths a week are
reported. Many citizens blame Su-
perintendent Southers, of the water
works, for the bad water which is
causing the epidemic. 1t is charged
that he has not used filters for nine
months. The feeling against him Is
very high and personal violence has
even been threatened in some quar-
tiers. He has disappeared, and Is
thought to have committed suicide.
Every train from the city is packed
with panic-stricken humanity. Ply
scians are falling sick themselves
from overwork and loss of sleep. All
steps taken 50 far TO stop the ravages
Of the disease have proved Intellectual
All of the mines on the Gogeblc
range are practically closed. Bust
ness is entirely paralyZad.

A Very Deliberate Suicide.

Last Monday Elmer James, Phil
adelphia man, went TO Atlantic City
II went straight to u wharf, carry
ing a heavy package, and engaged
Captain SomerS to take him out for a
sail. When some distance out the
man opened the package, which con
tanned two heavy pieces of iron, and
began tying them TO his feet. In re-
ply to a question by Captain Somers,
he said he was going 10 commit sui
eide. The captain demonstrated with
him, whereupon he drew a razor and
declared he would kill the captain it
he came near him. The man then di-
vested himself of his shoes, hat, cuffs
and coat and leaped from the boat,
sinking at once 10 the bottom. Be
fore making the leap he tossed the
captain his watch, which, he said,
would compensate him for the use of
his boat He also gave the captains
boy quarter. James had been EN-
ployed as u Waterman in Il Philadel-
phia store, but was discharged last

A Good Suggestion.

From the Dubuque (Iood) telegraph.
The adjourning of the Impeachment
court last Saturday, on account OF
Gen. Weaver's belly ache, cost the
people of this commonwealth nearly
$500. One dose of Chamberlain's Col
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
would have saved this expense; aud
we suggest, as a matter of economy
and humanity, that the State provide
against future contingencies of this
nature, by furnishing each senator
with bottle of that valuable remedy.
