Key to q Peplexing Situation

AASJ
The Presidential campaign upon
which the country has already en-
tered presents the most complex
political situation which has been
witnessed IN the United States
since the Civil War. The Repub-
l,can and Democratic parties are
shaken to their centers by clashing
opinions upon the silver question.
The Popullst party, and the posi-
blllty If not probability of a DIS
tlnct free coinage party with a
Presidential ticket of It's own,
serve to increase the confusion
and perplexlty IN which even intel
lleent and candid observers find
themselves. 1t is at such a time
that the reader of Public Opinion
appreciates the value of a paper
that gives HIM a fair, unbiased
we'll proportioned statement from
week to week of the facts and OF
the drift of discussion. Public
Opinion gives Its readers a great
deal more than this, but this Is the
thing for which 1t will be especial
" sought during the next eight
months. Send a postal card to the
Public Opinion Co., New York
City, for sample copy and prem

Peculiar Eccentricity of John Ackerhosen,
of Benton Harbor.
A petition has been filed at Benton
Earbor, Mich, to have John Acker-
hosen, a well-to-do farmer, adiudgcd
insane. He is health enthusiast, and
the only food he has allowed his family,
which is composed of wife and four
c1Jldren.efor year past has been dried
apQlR1 with the skins left on, and oc-
casionally some bread made of crushed
wheat or corn stirred up with water
and without seasoning of any kind,
which he would not allow them to cook,
and owing to hunger they ate itraw
Another eccentricity of Askerhosen's
is to compel the children to take bath
in the open air every morning, regard
less of the weather. Ackerhosen would
do the same thing himself, and claimed
by this process of diet and bathing to
be able to live to the age of 200 years.

his brother, it is said, is insane His
wife has gone with her children to her
parents.

American Actors and Actresses to Visl6
tho Island Next Spring.
There will be an exodus of American
actors and actresses to Australia dur
ing the coming springA
George Musgrove, of the firm Of Will
Hanson & Musgrove, the most promi-
nent theatrical managers in Australia,
has been in New York for several weeks
looking for attractions for his play
houses. He said the other day that he
had already closed contracts for send
ing four companies across the Pacific,
and that he hoped to secure several
more.
"Trilby" will be the first to 60. The
company, including several Of the prin-
cipals in A. M. Palmer's original COM
pany, will sail from Sun Francisco on
March s and will open at the Princess
theater in Melbourne. Mrs. Potter and
Mr.. Bellew will follow on April 80 and
will open at the Lyceum, in Sydney.
"a Trip to Chinatown" will be the
first of Charles II. Hoyt's comedies to
visit Australia. The company will sail
on May 90 and will also open ut the
Lyceum, in Sydney.
Probably the most important Of Mr..
Musgrove's engagements, however, is
that of Nat c. Goodwin, who is booked
for a 12-weeks' season in the island
continent. He, with his supporting
company, will sail from San francisco
on June 20. He, also, will open at the
Jyceum, in SYDNEY.
This is really opening up new
field for American managers and
stars" said Mr.. Nfusgrove. "Your sea-
son here closes in May or June, while
ours in Australia is just then opening.
The trip will be pleasant one, and I
have no doubt that il Mr.. Goodwin and
the others we take over this summer
prove successful-an for my part am
sure they will-many more will be
eager to follow their example next

ATTACKS YALE LIFE.
6cathinR Article in Current Number
: ofthe Yale Literary Magazine.
Declares Men Graduate with Less Mental
and Moral Strength Than the Average
Uneducated Man-NIaterialism Rife
-Contradiction by Yale News.

The current number of the Yale Lit
erary Magazine, which has just ap-
peared, contains scathing article en-
titled "Shams in Yale Life" The ar
ticle was written by e. S. Oviatt, one of
the editors of the magazine and resi-
dent of New Haven.
Mr.. Oviatt's article is bitter attack
upon the senior year secret societies.
He alleges that there is too much wire
pulling for these honors. After say
Ing that there is too much materialism
IN college life here, he adds:
i "Men graduate from this college
year after year with less mental
strength, less moral strength than the
average uneducated man whom they
pass on the street.
There is q very general desire
among US to get through on the least
work, to outwit the instructors. A
man who comes here to study nova
days is dubbed a dig is branded as an
outcast, soon finds himself out of SYM
pathy with the body of his associates.
sinks into undisturbed but ostracised
manners of life. gains his honors, but
comes out at the end of the course q
bookworm.
ut is well-known fact, and one
winked at by those in position to
correct II, that the supposed religious
work of Dwight hall during the first
two years covers tremendous amount
of hypocrisy. With all respect, the
competition for class deaconship is a
most melancholy sight. AS much can
wasting is done, as much talk excited,
as in the election of Tammany chief.
1t is because the position secures social
recognition that men most desire it;
1t is because. along with baseball or
q football championship, religious
leader stands a good chance for future
social honors."
M. Oviatt concludes his article by
saying that in few years, If things
keep on as they are going, Yale democ-
racy will be thing of the past. The
article is the talk of the campus. The
Yale Daily News has replied to it in a
long editorial and contradicts most of
Mr.. Oviatt's statements.

"Excuse Mistakes.n

A good-natured mistress lately acted
as amanuensis for q negro maid who
could neither read nor write. The
servant had not enough intelligence to
guess that the lady who welded the
pen for her was well known in the
world of letters, and made what is pro-
vincially called "a pretty penny" by
her use of the quill now called into
requisition to inscribe from dictation
several letters to southern friends
of the dictator. To her scribe's intense
amusement each epistle concluded with
the petition: "Please excuse all mis-
