grand opening of millinery and up-,O-date
wraps, which is being held Thursday and

BRIGHT Seasonablc merchandise.
On this (Thursday) evening, October :,
from 7:3O to 8 p. m, there will be bril-
liant evening reception with photographic
entertainment. The good people living
cast Of the Capitol all know that by award
ing their patronage to ,Haines' Washing
ton Store and sustaining this most worthy
enterprise, they are cooperating with
purpose which ultimately is an enormous
benefit to themselves and an active fur
therance to their vested interests.
With such an enterprise in their midst
il seems useless for the people to tire them
selves and lose time and expense to go
up in the city. The store expenses are
less and can reasonably las we notice they
dol sell goods muclr cheaper than else
where And we cannot see how such a
business could he else than successful nor
how the people could do without tit

Eany amusing stories are related OF Prof
George Henry Emmott, who has resigned
froin the faculty of Columbian University,
this city, and Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore, in order to return TO England.
Trof Emmott, who was an Englishman
by birth and a graduate of Cambridge, was
man OF marked simplicity OF manner, ur-
iane, genial. whule-souled, honest, unaf-
fected and the quinteSscncc of dignity and
poiiteneSS, says the baltimore Sun today
But his very guiieSSness and lack OF a Ier-
ception OF trickery made him the subject
of many boyish pranLs and merry jcsts
amongtheundcrgraduat OF Johns Hopkins
University.
Though they revered him and admired
hin morethan any other OF fthcirinst ructors,
they conidnot resist the temptation to make
MIR. Emmott the butt of their jokes. And
they rarely suffered for it, for he was
scarcely ever known to be hasty in anger
or rescntful.
To the graduate students in the historical
department Mr.. Emmutt lcctured on Roman
law and the sources of English coHstitu-
cional history, TO the undergraduates OF the
same department on English constitutional
history. But the class in which most of the
mischief was perpetrated and most of the
professors personal qualities shown forth
wasthat oflosic, in which he met the entire
senior class, usually numbering fifty stu
dents. (,

INFLUENCEDBY TEMPERATURE.


The lectures on Iogics were given in the
room. in the physical laboratory. where
experiments were performed in physics.
Prof. EmmOtt never failed To scrutiDize the
thermometer when he entered it, and this
caTsed some of his ella SIS one day to light n
BUnsen burner and heat the mercury up
above ninety degrees. Then the windows
were all Of them opened for few minutes,
and, asst was midwinter, the real tempera-
ture OF the room was scarcely sixty. When
Prof. Emnott came in and looked at the
thermometer, he began to grow uDcomforta
bly, warm. As he lectured the perspiration
gathered on his face. Don't YOU gentle.
men think 1t really very warm in here?''
he presently ventured to suggest. mot
at all, SIR was the prompt reply: Its
rather COOL Then began a series OF re-
quests from different students that they
might be permitted to sit near heater on
account OF the chilly nature Of the room.
The professors thermometrical equilibrium
was ultimately restored, but not before his
collar had wilted and twenty minutes of his
lecture wasted.
- another occasion onditioIs were re-
versed by packing the thermometer in ice
Oh hot spring day. But this time the
practical iokers got the worst of it, be-
cause Mr.. Emmott felt chilly enough to
insist on keeping all the windows tightly
closed.
Half dozen gas jets just underneath the
lecture desk supplied another joke for an
other class. These Were turned on without
lighting just before Prof. Emmott's en-
