DIR. HOLMES sCHOolMATE.
A Case Where Fame Did Not Amount
to Much,

From the Independent.
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes had given a
lecture in Massachusetts, city, and the
next day his host, leading citizen, to tx
him out for a drive about town. The doctor
espsed over a door a name that, long ago,
was familiar to him. His entertainer made
the intro1uction; but the merchant showed
more interest in the citizen than in his I'M
dersized guest
The doctor inquired if he was not stu
dent in Phillips, Andover in 1925. The
merchant replied that he was there at that
time
DO You remember boy there named
Holmes-OEver Wendell Holiness
After a sight hesitation he answered:
Eyes; little fellow, wasn't he?"
The doctor admitted that sucn was the
fact and added that he was that boy. The
old schcolmate looked him over without
much appearance of interest.

REED AND HIS RULES.
4 Change I'm Sentiment Since His
First Term Speaker.

Theodore Roosevelt. In the Forum.
1t is indeed hard to realize that when Mr..
Reed put through the rules which have come
to be known by his name he was not only de-
nounced furously as "czar,' as "tyrant,"
as what not, but that the minority took the
unusual step of refusing to join in the Gus
tomary vote of thanks to him when he left
the speakership. The subsequent actions of
his opponents were his final vndication, as
well as the most severe condemnation of
what they themselves had done.
The Reed rules represented the mere ap-
pIicatiCn of common sense, courage and hon
esty to parliamentary procedure. So evident
did this become that his very opponents
while still. in power were themselves forced
to adopt his rules, and the people, by an
overwhelming majority, undid the wrong
they had done and replaced him as Speaker;
only in position far more secure and far
more triumphant than when he had first
held the chair, for he had back of him an
enormously increased majority.
There have been times when a statesman
has triumphed after defeat, because he him.
self has changed; but in this case it is not
Reed who has changed-it is the popular feel
ing. His position remains unaitered. He
consistently maintained the righteousness
and justice of his proceedings. andshis bitter
political enemies were forced by the hard
logic of events to acknowledge that they had
been wrong, and that he had been right.
Rarely in history of American politics has
any American statesman received so dra-
matically complete a vindication.

KEPT ALIVE BY OXYGEN,
millionaire RefchlinE Paid 80, 100 10
His Last Week on Earth.

MihoHhtre helchlfnE Paid r.. 100 for
His Last Week ON Earth.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Three hundred dollars a day for breath
was what Francis Reichling, the millionaire
mine owner. paid for the last seven days he
lived.
1t was by the administration of oxygen gas
that Mr.. Reichling was given brief lease of
life, ana while this treatment is not abso-
lutely new in theory, no effort to test it in
practice to such an extent has heretofore
been made.
Through the grounds of Mr.. Reichling's
beautiful home at Piedmont runs a little
mountain stream. While at work in its
vicinity the millionaire contracted malaria.
Congestion of the brain and pneumonia fol-
lowed, and in their wake came valvular dis
ease of the heart. Half of the sick mans
lungs became closed, and it was apparent
that death must soon follow from the lack of
breath.
The dying man begged his physician to at
least keep him alive until his son, travelling
in Mexico could reach him. There was but
one hope-that of giving the patient sup
ply of artificial air by means of oxygen.
This plan was at once adopted. The doctor
procured tank containing 100 gallons of
oxygen. Attached to this was rubber tube
with a mouthpiece. There were two stop
cocks-one at the mouth of the tube, the
other at the point where the tube Joined the
tank.
Whenever it became evident that Mr.
Reichling was suffering from a want of
breath he was required to inhale gas from
the tank. The oxygen produced the same
effect upon the blood and body as that re-
sulting from ordinary breathing. and i'm
mediate relief followed the inhalation. The
entire contents of the tank was consumed
by the patient the first night-Saturday On
Sunday he absorbed 500 gallons and the
effect was visible on Monday in the manifest
Improvement of his condition. On that day
the patient inhaled 500 gallons of oxygen.
1t was evident that the treatment was
greatly reducing the pneumonia and reliev-
ing the heart trouble. On Tuesday the
amount of oxygen absorbed was reduced to
500 gallor S. On Wednesday 400 gallons were
inhaled. and on Thursday only 300 gallons
We're administered. The following day the
allowance was 200 gallons. On Friday night,
however. there came great change for the
added to the other ills from which the pa
tient suffered. Three hundred gallons of
oxygen was inhaled on Saturday, but proved
of no avail. The pneumonia and valvular
heart trouble had been conquered by the
administration of the oxygen, but Mr.. Reich
ling'S enfeebled system was unable to with
stand the complication, and death brought
freedom from pain on Saturday night.
The wish of the patients heart had been
gratified, however. as the son for whose
presence he longed arrived the Tuesday be-
and recognized the young man, although I'M
able to speak to him.
While tank oxygen is frequently used to
restore vitality, medical records show that
it is expensive to keep death at a distance
by fee of $500 day.

WHEN BABY WAS LOST.
A Great Deal of Excitement Prevailed
for II Short Time in One Family.

for II Short Time In One Family.
From the Philadelphia Times.
There was considerable excitement in the
Moran family of Chelton Hills the other
evening when it was discovered that the
pride of the house, a sturdy young man OF
three years. was mysteriously missing. He
had been considerable of a rover from the
time his well-starched dresses gave place to
kits, but his wanderiEgs had been limited
10 the house and yard, and thus it was that
when, about o'clock in the evening, the
little Fauntleroy was wanted and was not
found, the anxiety prevailed.
The neighbors' houses were all visited and
each family was invited to participate in the
sc arch, while in turn one after another Of
the patrol houses were notified and the blue
coated officers detailed to lend their assist
ance-to listen in out-of-the-way localities
for a youthful voice raised in treble en-
treaties for help, and in by-Ways to search
with lanterns for the wanderer.
It was all in vain, however, and as one at
ter another reported to the anxious mother
the Ill success with which they had met she
became almost frantic, While picturing her
darling alone in great city-beyond the in
fuences of her tender care and subject to all
the understandable dangers which one in her
position might fancy. At last she burst into
a fit of hyster:cal sohs, and then it was that
n still small and very sleepy voice emanat-
ing from beneath an old-fashloned SOFA SOFT
ly inquired:
whats matter, mammal
That was all, but it settled the disturb
ance and proclamation was issued notify
ing the good people Of the hill that the lost
had been found.

The Increasing Immigration.
ON the Boston Commonwealth.

From the Boston Commonwealth.
There is no longer any doubt that the
tide OF emigration has turned. For two
years, notably in 1894, immigration to the
United States was held in check; in the
year 1885 it has resumed its former volume
The increase is very apparent. During the
month Of September just past the arrivals
of immisl ants in this country numbered
$685. as against 24,!O4 in September, 1894
The line months of the current year show
an immigration of 2i9, 3D.. as against 19l,-
1875 for the Sc me period last year. The in
ference from these facts is gratifying; it
is a proof of the reality of the prosperity
which has returned to this country. These
hundreds of thousands of emgrants were
not driven out of Europe by unusual dis
tress in their native lands; they were at
tracted by better times in America. But
their coming in such largely increased
numbers imposes upon the United States
the necessity of selection more forcibly
than ever before. Our present laws as
sumo to keep out the diseased, the crimi-
raj, the raupers, and, to a great extent
they are effective. But they need to be
supplemented by laws which shall erect a
barrier against ignorance. and shall enable
the great American republic to get the
best. and only the best, from the peoples
of Europe.

THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
Architects Who Have Submitted Designs
for the Buildings
The Committee to Decide Next Week
The Material to he Used Also
TO BE Determined.

Notices were sent cut this week from the
Office of the American University in the
Lehman building to the members of the
building committee, asking them to be
present at meeting of the committee next
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock at the Ar
lington Hotel. The members of this COM
m.ttee are Bishop John F. Hurst, president
of the board of trustees; John Z. Andris
Anderson Fowler and DIR. A. ]. Palmer,
the three last named being of New York,
and Matthew G. Emery, Vice Chancellor
Beiler, A. b. Duvall and John E. Herrell
of this city. This being an important gath
ering of the committee, in fact the most
important one it has ever held. it is expect
ed that all of the gentlemen named will be
present. The committee has authority to
decide upon the plans submitted by the ar
chitect, and also upon the varieties of stone
to be used, and when this is done there is
nothing to hinder active work commencing
soon after Vice Chancellor Boiler today
made public the names of the architects
who have submitted plans in competition
They are as follows: w. NJ. Poindexter
Washington, ID. c.; Van Brunt and Howe of
Boston and Kansas City: r. S. Bladgeey,
Cleveland, Ohio; Ernest Flagg. the arch!-
tect of the Episcopal Cathedral; Audsley
Brothers. and James Brite, all of New
York. 1t it not probable that any of the
plans submitted will be accepted in their
entirety. but that the architect will be Sc
lected and then his plans will be modified
to suit the views of the committee, it be-
ing likely that some change will be neces-
STATED in the details.
Some of the architects have presented new
schemes for laying out the grounds in con-
nection with their plans of buildings. Last
spring Frederick Law Olmstead & Company
of Boston designed plans for the grounds,
and they were accepted at the time, but pow
1t is possible that some notifications may be
made to them if the plans finally decided up
on for the main buildings cannot be made
to conform to the plans of the grounds.
The other important question to be decided
by the committee is that of the building ma
terial OF course, stone is to be used, but it is
somewhat difficult to make a selection of the
particular kind, large number of speci-
mems from all sections of the country, and
from even outside the United States have
been sent in for examination. The drift,
however in this matter is in the direction of
lower Foundation, with granite or rock
faced marble for the first story, and the up
per stores of marble, smoothly dressed, but
not polished.
Word has been received from DR.. John
Peate at Greenville Pas that he has COM
p!eted all the rough work to be done upon
the great telescope lens, which is, more
properly speaking, a mirror, and that he is
now proceeding to the delicate operation of
polishing, which process will occupy him for
nearly year more before the work is entire
ly finished.
