state that when he once began they
did not prevent him from continuing.
Much indignation Is felt here at the
reference by Mr.. Bryan to Yale stu
dents as young men who came to
college to spend 'ill-gotten gains"
The Yale faculty assert that no offic'a
notice will be taken of the incident

church has work for them to do. St
Johns Free Hospital for Children, at
4O7 West Thirty-fourth street, in New
York, is the property of the sisterhood
and they have recently increased its
usefulness by purchasing thirty acres
of land at the Rocks, above France
street, where they will have a summer

the sisterhood, though always, as in
other things, under the direction of

who appreciate the opportunity Of

There is not whole pane of glass
in the lower story, and the back and
front doors and all doors down stairs
are battered and broken. 1t looks
as if it had been the center of Gu
ban battle; but it is all the work of
one man, Mr.. Jonestutter, who,
in lucid intervals, worked for Mr..
Henry. On election day Mr.. J. voted
several times for both sides with
strict impartiality, and was induced
by the fiattered candidates to taste
the cup that jeers and does inebriate.
Under the magnetic influence of the
wassail Mr. j. decided to draw his
winter wages and erect jag which
should pale the glories even of the
monumental debauches of the Roman
emperors. But Mrs. Henry, who is d
large lady with ideas of her own, ad-
vanced him only a dollar ON account;
he had the bad taste to argue the mat
ter, and Mrs. H pitched him out doors
head first. Visions of his Welsh an
Gentry impelled Mr.. J. to seek bat
tie AK, but there being no battle ak
factory in Pine county, he was forced
to use any old ak that was handy and
advance upon the fortress Chanting
a Welsh war song. he literally chopped
his way through the house, from front
to back, and then around each SIDE:
plying his ak as he went, frighten-
ing women and children, he made the
wood and glass fly until the popu,ace
thought another fire was coming. In
fact, the local wit declared that he
had obtained axes to the house. Mr.

strong lodgings, with gives upon his
