A READY MADE UNIVERSITY.

The University of Chicago was two
years old on the 22d of last month, and
its friends say that no similar institution
has ever made such progress in the same
space of time. When it was first estab-
lished there were but four buildings on
the campus; now there are seven DOR
mitories, two well equipped laboratories,
each built at a cost OF $3.50, 900: a museum
library and gymnasium and the tenn
porary buildings for astronomical work
In addition, the Yerkes Observatory
and house for the President are in
course of building. More than $2,0O0,0O
has been added to the funds of the uni
versity. The faculty, at first mere
handful of instructors, now numbers 157,
some of whom are men of Worldwide
reputation.-New York Tribune.

whites, was making preparations one
morning to so to church, miles away,
through country infested with savages.
He was carefully loading his old flint
lock rifle to take along, when a friend
present remarked
What are you going to take that gun
along for. old man? Don't you know that
kill you the gun won't save you?"
That's very true" said the old nan
as he deliberately rammed the ball home,
.'but supposed it is foreordained that the
Indian should be killed? Now how
would the good Lord carry out His pur-
pose if / didn't have my gun along ~
That closed the debate.-Summervill

seven representing the labor unions

ity of the case, the council committee
was informed by the labor committee
that unless the Pullman company
agreed to arbitration to- morrow night

would quit work.
The chairman Of the city council
committee suggested that commit
tee of five prominent business men be
invited to visit the Pullman company,
not as arbitrators, but to determine
if the Pullman company had anything
to arbitrate. He also suggested that
the committe consist of two officials
of the Pullman company, two promi-
nent citizens TO be appointed by the
Judges of Cook county and the fifth to
be chosen by the four.
4 committee representing the labor
ing men appointed subcommittee of

President Wickes at the Office of the
Pullman company at o'clock. The
chairman of the council commit
tee explained to him the nature
of the request. and after a brief
consultation with his attorney he re-
fused emphatically to receive the
proposed committee of five. ''The

Nc to arbitrate, and we must refuse
to receive the committee to which you
refer Our company has not reeeded

IMPROVING IN COLORADO.
Faithful Men Sent to Plead With strik-

DENVER, Col, July1O.-The railroad
situation in Colorado is improving.
President Jetfery will try to open the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad to
the West to-day, and with the aid of
the employees who have remained
loyal to the company protected by
United States marshals there is 4 good
prospect that he will succeed.
At : o'clock a special train pulled
out for the South, on which was a
committee of twenty-six employees,
representing the engineers, conduc-
tors, firemen, brakemen. switchmen
and telegraphers in this district who
have not refused to strike. They went
to plead with the strikers at Pue bio,
Salida, Grand Junction and other
points to return to work. 1t is under
stood that all will be taken back with
out prejudice if they return at once,
but this will be their last chance.
The Union Pacific will operate
trains at Cheyenne as soon as the
troops concentrated at Cheyenne can
be distributed along the road at points
where their services are needed. On
the other roads trains are running in
and out of Denver regularly.
All other points in the state the
situation is improving.
