SCIENCE OPPOSES CORSETS.
Women Who Wear Them Incapable
of Higher Education.

Science has found still another reason
why women should abandon corsets.
1t affects, however, only those Of the
fair sex who thirst for the higher edu-
cation. AT a certain young wOmans
college It was noticed that the delicate
electrical instruments underwent sud-
den and extraordinary changes. Every
once in q while, when Il girl came up to
explain what she had learned about
the volts, ohms and the like, galvano-
meters would gyrate wildly and the
needles in the various dials would
swerve in a most unaccOuntable man
ner Finally the professor discovered
where the trouble lay. 1t was the
steel in the girls corsets, and the fac
ulty thereupOn passed a law debarring
all cOrseted girls from the electrical de-
partment. At first the girls tried to
evade the rule by the utterance Of mild
tarradiddles. But the ineXOrable pro-
fessor crcumvented them by making
the class, as it entered, pass in q single
file beside the delicate ealvanometer.
The instructor stood beside it in ap-
parent unconcern, but the instrument
spotted" every steel cOrseted girl with
unerring skill. One lecture under the
conditions was enough, and the girls
have all gone in for hygienic waists or
dress reform.

THE ENGINEER.

Where the engine thrills and the white
steam fills
Your eyes as you hurry by,
With brow austere. the engineer
Sits resting quietly.
His face is dark, but a glowing spark
Lights up his eye so keen.
He has naught TO ask; he has done his
task,
And has done it well, I ween.
Or. perhaps, before, mid rush and roar,
Lies the hardest run in the land
He must clench his teeth, set lips beneath,
And take his life in his hand.
But his head is clear-he knows no fear,
And. casping the throttle bar,
He cleaves the dark, as the soaring lark
Mounts up to the clouds afar,
But deep in his thoughts he forgetteth
n3ught
OF his overbnrdning care.
The smile on his lip is the gay wave-tip
That the solemn oceans bear
He would rather far, at the throttle bar,
Culver with deaths alarm,
Than that any soul under his control
Should come to the slightest harm.
And SO through the night and the sweet
daylight
Our grimy heroes stand.
With million men in their keeping, when
They dash across the land
They have sped through flame, where no
succor came,
Save that their brave hands brought,
And they fell at their post, counting life
well lost
For the rescue they had wrought.
They may think us cold-those hearts of
gold!-
But silent lips may hide
A soul afiame, which fain would claim
Bays for these heroes tried.
And whenever pass the engine glass,
Through its shining pane / peer,
And breathe prayer for the brave man
there
God bless the engineer!

Young Christian Endeavorers Work in
Jersey City-Drinking Beer and Cocktails
in Their Efforts to Sustain Sunday Law
Quiet Sunday.
New York. May 25.-Is it right for
Christian Endeavor young man to take
cocktail in the interest of law and
order? This is what is agitating the
minds of the fifteen amateur sleuths
whom the Jersey City law and order
league sent out yesterday to ferret out
violators OF the excise law. For six
Sundays Chief Murphy has been giving
the people of Jersey City the quietest
Sabbaths they have ever experienced.
Excise arrests are made every Sunday.
But the Christian Endeavorers, Ep-
worth leaguers and hundreds of the
older church members are not salts
| fed.
1--WE will play detectives ourselves"
said the exuberant and enthusiastic
| Christian Endeavorers wen give
| Chief Murphy's detectives some points"
So the young sleuths went all over
Jersey City yesterday in search of
drinks. OF course they found them
Some had beer and rum in hotel cafes,
others got hard stuff" in various
| sporting resorts, and there were other
places which the Christian Endeavor
young men visited for the first time.
In Murphy's saloon on Montgomery
street, near police headquarters, two of
the Endeavorers treated seven loungers
besides having beer themselves.
Some of the Christian Endeavor girls
had decided opinions to express to their
escorts last night as to how far an En-
| deavor sleuth ought to go when it
comes to collecting evidence against ex-
| else violators.
| The Rev. j. L. Scudder said to-day
that he had no instructions to give to
| Christian Endeavor sleuths in regard
| to drinks.
ut is a matter of conscience" said
he. 1.-THE men must decide for them
selves how far they ought to go. Some
| of our detectives objected to drinking
rum and beer in the saloons, and they
were told that they could be content by
simply buying a little flask of whiskey.
I don't ask any Christian to drink
liquor if he doesn't want to. To buy a
flask of whiskey and put it in his pock-
ct is sufficient"
Evidence against d dozen saloons was
collected by the amateur sleuths yes
! terday, and this evidence is to be pre-
sented to the grand jury tomorrow.
Chief Murphy admits that it was wet
ter than usual yesterday, but he says
the laxness is due largely to the ridicu-
lousy small fines imposed by the courts
on violators of the excise law.
DIR. It. r. Chambers, who was one of
the detectives yesterday, said this
morning that he thought three or four
drinks ought to be the limit of Chris
tian Endeavorers while on excise duty.
| He thought also that they ought only
| to sip the liquor-not gulp. down the
whole glassful.

DIR. GTLMAN IND JOHNS HOPKINS.
Steps Will Be Taken to Aid the Institutio
Financially.


Baltimore, May 25.-The agitation
over President Gilman's possible de-
parture from Johns Hopkins university
has resulted in opening the eyes of the
university's friends in this city to it's
serious financial embarrassment. Dur
ing the last few years the work of the
university has been hampered in ways
not appreciable by those who merely
take the steady, regular movements Of
it's outward history as criterion. Since
1888, when the stress came upon the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the in
come Of the institution from that source
has been sadly crippled. The passing
of the road into the hands of receivers
was a hard blow. The largest part Of
it's endowment is invested in common
and preferred stock of the railroad, IN
GLIDING about 81 100000 of the former
and $360,000 of the latter.
The uniyersity's annual expenditures
for many years have been about $780,
900, but the failure of the Baltimore
and Ohio to pay dividends leaves the
institution with an income of not more
than 100000 each year. This is sup
piled by tuition fees from the students
and by ground rents and other property
owned in this city. Only a small por-
ton of the 100000 recently received
from the sale of Clifton park has been
invested.
