A Pleasant Man to Interxiew.

Professor Felix Adler. the founder Of
the Ethical Culture society, is a most
pleasant gentleman to interview. He
saws that he has found the newspaper
man to be honorable in the highest de-
gree, and that Ne has never found it nee
essary to indicate what part of his con
v~ersation is intended for publication and
what part is to be considered as purely
personal. This of course means that
Professor Adler does not limit himself
in an interview to the matter directly in
hand. He is not unwilling to speak of
things that are entirely too personal for
publication and will give an elaborate
discourse on metaphysics to his inter
viewer and not express the least shade
of doubt as to its being correctly put
down.-Chicago Post.

Serious Practical joke.

ITHACA, N. Y, February pa
large number of students Of Cornell
University are leaving town as q re.
suit of the sophomore's practical joke
on the freshmen last night. While the
freshmen's annual banquet was in pro-
gress, behind locked doors in the large
hall formerly occupied by the Masonic
Fraternity, the room was flooded with
chloride gas. A colored woman, em-
ployed as cook died from the effects
of the gas and about thirty students
were made Ill but will all probably re-
cover. Two students named Mcneil
and MsCulloch were reported dead,
but they are still alive though very i'll.
Some person had entered 8 room under
the kitchen attached to the hall and
bored two holes in the ceiling above.
On table stood large jug, corkeds
but in the cork were two rubber tubes,
which ran nearly up to the ceiling
where they were connected with two
glass tubes which ran through the
holes in the floor, thus spreading in the
room above, the gas generated from the
jug, which was found to be chlorine, q
mixture OF salt and sulphurie acid,
There was, however, no clue to the
party who had been guilty Of this das-
tardly piece of business. The coroner
has taken the matter in hand since the
exodus ofstudents.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22s-The
President to-day sent to the Senate the
nomination of John P. Hunter to be
United States Marshal for the district
of South Carolina.
Hunter was elected sheriff Of Ian
caster County as a Reformer. He en-
phatically declined last spring in let
ter which was published to allow him
self to be used as the Tillman slate can
didate for Marshal and was dropped by
the Tillmanite Congressman. He de-
clared himself q candidate on his own
merits.
1t was then stated that he was en-
dorsed by both Butler and Brawley and
his appointment may be regarded as a
distinct Butler triumph.
1t was said last May that it had been
agreed in Washington to recognize the
Tillman faction by dividing the four
most important Offices in the State be-
tween Tillmanites and Conservatives
and the slate prediction was Murphy,
Bryan, Perry and Hunter.
This prediction has been fulfilled ex-
cept as to Perry. ~

PLANNED sHEsaras,s MARCH.
Remarkable Claim Of Woman Who Has
Just Died IN WashinEtcp.

WASHINGTON, February 22.-The
death here Tuesday Of Miss Anna Ella
Carroll has recalled one of the most
interesting memories Of the late war.
Miss Carroll was member Of the Car
roll family, her father being Thomas
King Carroll, governor Of Maryland
in 1880. When the war broke out
Miss Carroll was known to many pub
lie men, North and South, and she
took the keenest interest In the success
OF the Northern side.
It was Miss Carroll for whom Sena-.
tor Hoar, and Senator Lodge, of Mas-
sachusetts, and Senator Wise, Of West
Virginia, introduced bills for the pay
ment to her of money on the ground
that she had planned the Tennessee
campaign of Grant and the march to-
the sea of Sherman. These bills never
passed Congress. The claim that the
greatest strategical feat of the war was
due to the brain of a woman was sufi-
cient to arouse the greatest interest.
Miss Carroll was not able to produce
sufficient evidence to prove her claim,
chiefly because, she said, she had been
bound to such strict secrecy at the
time. General Sherman denied the
story wholly, General Grant would
never talk about it. When the Century
was getting UP its celebrated war series
this claim of Miss Carroll's was care
fully investigated and no article on it
published.
It has been said by those who claim
to know the facts that Miss Carroll
once said it would be great thing ifs
Union army could march through tbs
Confederacy. From this, after many
years, the story that she had planned
"the grand strategy" as General Sher-
man called it, grew unquestionably.
She believed her story herself and
doubtless many others believed it also.

A modern treatment for nervous
prostration requires that the patient be
put to bed in quiet room and fed for
weeks on enormous quantities of milk,
He must take exercise, however, and
this he does by proxy through the de-
vice of massage. He must do absolute

The horse breeder OF the future"

but the very best material To begin
with. There never was a time when

they are to-day, and there never was
a time when ordinary ones were so
low in price, In my Judgment, the
situation will not change &c any APP
preciable extent. The stars will bring
as much money next year and the
year after, but poor ones will sell
lower and lower.

Test ofa Truly Great Man.

| believe the first test OF a truly
great man is his humility. | do not
mean by humility doubt OF his own
power, or hesitation in speaking his
opinions, but n right understanding
of the relations between what he can
do and say and the rest OF the worlds
doings and sayings. All great men
not only know their W business
but usually know that they know it,
and are not only right in their main
opinions, but usually know they are,
only they do not think much of them
selves on that account. They do not
expect their fellow men TO fall down
and worship them; they have a
curious undersense OF powerlessness,
feeling that greatness Is not i'm them.
but through them. They do their
work feeling that they can not well
help it. Ruskin.
