Work OF Securing Funds IL Progressing
systematically.
WASHINGTON. Sept 2s.-Bishop John
4. Hurst, chancellor of the projected
American university, and Vice Chan
cellor Samuel l.. Beiler will return here
shortly after extensive trips through
the west in the furtherance of the es-
adjustment of the university. The
work of securing funds and preparing
for building has progressed systematic
ally at the headquarters through the
summer. Bishop Hurst is now at the
conferences In Indiana, while DIR.
Beiler is attending those in west
ern Pennsylvania, Illinois and Mime
sota and elsewhere. This field work,
as IL is called, is expected to stimu-
late the various sections on the uni
versity project and To bring about sub
stantial additions TO the funds. A
steady increase in the fund has pro-
ceedcd through the summer, although
larger subscriptions have been for es-
tablishing professorships. while the
university officers are anxious 20 get
the buildings before establishing pro-
fessorships and scholarships. This de-
sire has led to the offer OF a wealthy
gentleman, who does not wish his
name used at present, to build the first
structure, to be used rs an administra-
ton building. 1t is estimated that IL
will cost from $500. 900 to $3.50, 0O0. 1t
will be of stone or marble, three stories
high. about ESQ feet long by 100 feet
deep. At present it is estimated the
assets of the university, including real
estate and assurances OF contributions
will reach $500, 900.

Gentleman Brown.

Brown was simply a large dog. who
was SO strong. so fearless, so intelligent,
and so active in affairs that he was con-
sidered the champion of the town. He
could thrash any dog round about and
always did it when il was necessary.
But he was extremely kind and
benevolent. He showed great kindness
to tramp dogs and protected many a
wretched little vagabond and saw him
safely out Of the town in a good condi-
ton.
One day he brought a specially bad
specimen home with him. He came
into the house and into the dining
room. where the family were mt dinner,
the wretched little tramp dog at his
heels.
He looked up at his master, wagged
his tail, asking for something to cal.
A plate of food was set down and the
little dog snatched at it ravenously.
Brown seemed TO think that was all
right. When the little dog was through
he asked for another plateful and had
his own dinner.
He kept the little dog for quite
awhile. always permitting him TO eat
first. At night he took the dog into
his kennel, himself sleeping On the out
side.
He was not at all intimate with the
dog. treating him as a visitor, not at
any time as a friend. The tramp final
~ went on his way, strong aud well,
and as plump and sleek IS any dog
need be. What was said between these
two dogs. both at meeting and parting.

tbs 4 LITTLE WORLD, AFTER ALL.
Az Eg-Confederate and Union Officer
Compare Notes at n London Dinner.

Two Americans were introduced to
each other not long ago in a London
house, where they were dining with a
company of English acquaintance.
one OF them told a story Of the civil
war as an illustration of the relish which
which an eager appetite gives TO an I'M
expected dinner, says the Youths Conn
pdnton.
1t was an incident Of the military
operations OF the union army on the
North Carolina seaboard. The narrator
was an officer who was with a strong
column in a forced march from the
coast. The troops had started before
daybreak. and had rapidly approached
the confederate position by a ~circuitous
road.
At noon they halted for reinforce
ments, having discovered the confeder-
ates strongly ,entrenched in front of q
small town.
The American who sat on the opposite
side of the table from the narrator put
in a word. Il know that country we'll"
he remarked. 81 was there on the day
you mention. but behind the earthworks,
no in front of them"
The union officer, after expressing
surprise that his accoun should be con-
tirmed so Unexpectedly, went on with
his story.
Il was desperately hungry" he said.
"and knew that the provision train would
no arrive for several hours. Noticing
a small house not far away on another
road leading TO the town. IL seemed to
me that it could be approached without
observation from our road by a detour
through the woods and that | might find
there something to eat"
Then he told how he crept through
the woods with half a dozen scouts and
made a dash for the house, noticing as
they entered il three officers in gray
riding rapidly away toward the town.
again eamc ~ interruption from the
other side of the table:
Il was one of those horsemen. We
had been taken by surprise and after
finding out how strong was the column
on the main road by using our field
glasses from the upper windows we had
started in hot haste for headquarters in
the town.
Everybody at the table smiled as the
story was resumed.
I'VE found a colored woman inside,
who told us that she had cooked n dim
ner for three confederate officers, but
that when it was ready they had sud-
denly mounted their horses and hurried
away.
The table was spread and a fine
goose roasted to a turn was on a platter,
with baked sweet potatoes and a bottle
of wine. We posted one man guard
and then sat down. 1t seems TO me |
never enjoyed any other dinner so much
as | relished that stolen goose"
Il believe you, said the other Amer
lean. That was my goose, and had
paid for it. Ny mouth watered for it
when / left the house"
The company laughed heartily as the
two veterans, who had once fought in
opposing armies. but were then dining
at peace in London, compared notes
about the goose.
The world did not seem so big, after
all, when these two men could discover
each other in an English house after
thirty years and laughingly agree that
it was a good goose, whoever paid for

CHICAGO. Sept. 2s.-Detective O'Con-
nell of the health department, after
three months of hard work, has secured
a confession from one of the dealers In
horse meat which duplicates many 9TH
ers, who will be brought t. time by the
commissioners of health. Several DAYS
ago Officer 0'Connell attended "A horse
sale. A well known hatcher, whose
name is included in the report made To
Chief Inspector Young. was at this
sale, where he purchased several mead
of old, worn ont horses. The officer
waited until after the sale, when he
approached the butcher and accused
him of having bought the horses for
slaughter. The man turned pale
at the accusation and asked hur-
riedly IL So and So, naming an
other butcher, had ''peaehed' on
him. Officer O'Connell said it was
likely to be the fact and the accused
butcher promised to give away the
whole business II he should be treated
leniently. The officer refused at first
To make any exception in the case of
this man and started with him toward,
the police station. The man broke
down completely, ~confessing he had,
slaughtered horses for food and that he
hRd disposed of the meat TO various
parties, whom he promised TO name,
together with other men who butcher
horses, IL he was lightly dealt with.
Officer O'Connell finally promised as
requested AMI the butcher told all he
knew.
lie said this other butcher, whom ne
accused of having told on him, BUTCH
cred horses every day at his place of
business, giving the address. To that
place several times each week dealers
in fish go, who take the meat in their
fish Boxes and peddle IL out as corned
beef. The butcher admitted that he
had been getting rid of the horses he
butcnered in the same amer. In
fact, he said nearly all dealers in the
stuff.seil Ii out TO fish dealers, who are
able to carry it about without fear of,
detection in their fish boxes. Each fish
dealer has his regular route and when
he does not sell fish sells ''corned
beef"
The anne given OF butchers who kill
horses numbered half a dozen and the
names OF fish dealers numbered a score.
These men are all under surveillance

and evidence Is being collected against

less 1t could be shown the meat was
