Another reason why It was rumored
that President Smith had resigned was
that Il was said that he felt that II ne
continued in both positions he could not
give to the Randolph Macon scnoois
their lust proportion of this fund without
nerhans the insinuation that he was do-
ing too much for hts own institutions.
Captain Irby, the secretary OF the col
lege. told me yesterday that Randolph
Macon and all her branches were In a
better financial condition than ever be-
fore. The bonded debt has been conssd-
erably reduced during the past two years
and the outstanding bills will not amount
to $50 all told.
President Smith has shown himself a
most capable and energetic man, and has
raised an immense amount OF money for
the Randolph Macon system. He has In
creased the endowment fund OF the wo-
mans institutions about 100000 and has
raised about $4,000 for buildings.

The request Of the board OF health for an
appropriation Of s253 TO pay for school

the board OF aldermen. and Health of1cer
Palmer came in for a roasting at the
hands Of Alderman Miller. No final action
was taken. Secretary Meacham. OF the
board of public works. and Superintendent
Youngs, OF the water department, were
also handled severely for alleged neglect
of duty. The appropriation ordinance for
November was hung up by the refusal OF
the aldermen to confer with the delegates
on two items. which had been rejected by
the aldermen, and a special session VIII

REDUCED RATES, TOO.
Swift Trains and Low Fares on
Northern Pacific.
ONLY go CENTS TO TACOMA.
Night Flyer to Portland Schedules TO
Be Ready Soon-New Effort For
y. Il. Harmony.

The improvement in the train service or
the Northern Pacific between this city,
Tacoma and Portland, which was outlined
in the Post-Intelligencer a few days ago.
was definitely decided upon yesterday at
a conference at Tacoma in which
Receiver Burleigh. General Manager
G. w. Dickinson, Assistant General
Passenger Agent A. ID. Charlton. Su-
perintendent Joseph McCabe and General
Agents Timing and Nadeau took part.
Not only will additional and faster tram
service be given, but a sweeping reduction
of fares was decided upon. evidently TO
meet the competition of the steamers.
An extra train will be put on between
Seattle and Portland. leaving Seattle at I'D
p. m. and arriving at Portland at a. m;
leaving Portland at II 80 p. N. and arriving
a Seattle at $50 a. m. There viii also be
two additional trains each way between
Seattle and Tacoma, making the trip or
forty-one miles in one hour, including
stops. These trains will leave Seattle at
IL a. N. and p m. and leave Tacoma at
$50 a. m. and $50 p. m. This Will give six
trains each way every day between the
two cities. The only other important
change will he that the local train from
Seattle TO Puyallup 10 connect with the
east-bound overland will leave Seattle at
40 p. m. instead of at 4:20 p. m, as at
present
simultaneously with the improved serv-
ice the passenger fare between Tacoma
and Seattle will be reduced TO GO cents for
the single trip and 81 for the round trip.
This reduction will also affect intermedi-
ate points and rates will be reduced cor
respondingly from all stations
The new trains Will begin running just
as soon as the time card can be prepared.

Rural Scotland In the Past.

The grain grown was of the poorest
Kind which had been abandoned every.
where but In Scotland. 1t was the gray
oats. which at its best gave increase of
only three seeds for one, and bear.
which, although the least nutritious of
barley, was believed the only sort that
would flourish on the soil. The horses
and oxen, fed In winter on straw, boil.
Cd chaf or mashed whins, were SO weak
and emaciated that when yoked to the
plow they frequently fell in the boys
and burrows, and neighbors were sum-
moned to raise them on their legs. al
though to fit them thoroughly for their
work they bad been previously bled by
sskillful hand. They were yoked to
enormous unwieldy plows, which, be.

A Celebrated Beat.

There was once o celebrated Bohe-
milan named Bart who prided himself
on never paying any bills. One Of the
least striking of his financial feats was
once when he happened to be "hung
up" in hotel without the wherewithal
to settle. He left behind him a heavy
trunk, telling the landlord that he
would soon return. When number of
days had gone by and Bart did not re-
appear. the landlord went up to examine
the priceless Golfer which his guest had
left behind him and was much amazed
atthe weight of it, The most muscular
porters could not lift it. Therefore they
broke it open to see what was inside,
and when they opened it they found
nothing, for Bart had simply nailed it
to the floor.
But the achievement on which he
most prided himself was once when he
was in strange city for several days.
He wanted new pair of boots. So he
went to a shoemaker and ordered
pair. giving minute directions as to
their style. From this cordwainer he
went to another some squares away and
gave him similar order, couched in
exactly the same language. He made
both shoemakers promise to finish the
shoes in two days. At the expiration Of
the allotted time both pairs were done.
Bart tried on the first pair and said to
shoemaker No. that the left fitted him
perfectly. but that the right pinched
him. asking him to stretch il. which
the shoemaker promised to do, and Bart
carried off the left boot He then went
to shoemaker No. Q and tried on the
second pair, telling him that while the
right boot fitted him perfectly the left
pinobed him., and requested him to
stretch ii, and be would call for it I'm an
hour. 1t was done. Bart then took the
two halves of his two pairs of shoes.
put them on his feet and silently stole
away. Francisco Areonautl

At the Leipsic experimentation
in Germany potatoes have been fed
to cows, sheep and swine to test
their values. The results justify the
directors in advising the use of
potatoes when they are very cheap
and plentiful. They should be cook
ed for swine, and for fattening cat
tie they can be fed either raw or
cooked when given with hay, meal
and other substances. Cows in milk
should be fed daily % pounds of
washed raw potatoes. The larger
potatoes should be cut. AS a feed
they are not good for young lambs,
nor for cattle under 2 years of age.

Good Feed. Good Pork.

While the growing pig is a won
derful assimilator of the good, bad
and Indifferent foods that may be
supplied to him, he cannot be ex-
pected to make good pork out of
everything that he will eat. Be-
cause he is fed offal and it is eaten
does not by any means prove that
he will convert it into good, healthy
meat. Good, sound, nutritious food,
with pure water, is necessary to
good health, and thrifty, healthy
hog is necessary to the production
of sound, healthy pork. Because a
hog eats unwholesome food and
lives is not proof that the meat is
good. The hog that has the run of
clean clover or grass pasture, with
pure water and clean quarters, and
is supplied with sound, nutritious
food, will make pork that is sweet
er and better in every way than one
kept in close pen, fed on slop and
all the food that the other stock
will refuse.
