Aforementioned Neander.

Neander. the great professor and histo-
rlan OF the Christian Church Of the Berlin
University. was accustomed when lectur-
ing. to stand behind a curious. high desk.
with an open frame work, and with holes
and pegs for letting IL up and down, says
the San Francisco Argonaut. His costume
was very long coat, coming down TO the
tops Of his great jack-boots. and with a
collar which reached almost as high as
his head as he bent over his desk and with
arms extended forward. twirled in his fin
gers a quill pen. II this quill dropped,
there was hiatus IN the lecture until some
one would pick It up and place Il In his
hands, aud then the wonderful flow OF
learned discourse would proceed.
IL Is said that when Neander went 10
Berlin he happened, IN going from his home
10 the university for the first time. TO be
with a friend who. for the sake OF some
errand. took most clrcuitous route: Ne
ander pursued this roundabout course for
years, and only by accident discovered that
there was a shorter way.
on one occasion, being jostled on a
crowded sidewalk, In order 10 pass by the
crowd he stepped on into the gutter with
one foot. keeping the other foot on the
curbstone. When the crowd was passed,
he continued to walk ahsent-mlndedly In
this curious fashion, and when he reached
home he complained Of being fatigued from
the disordered condition OF the streets. An
acquaintance. who had followed him, was
able 10 explain his fatigue.

When the Senate elevator was taking
a passenger up recentlS it was called back
by Senator Culiom. "Do you mean to tell
me" said the indignant passenger, that
you must be at the beck and call of any
man who happens to be a senator"' He
continued to abuse the attendant until he
got out, when Senator Cullom said, smii-
ingly: Don't mind him; hes only my

John C. Suite, a CARPENTER and builder
at 1923 Virginia avenue, has had one wink
of sleep, says the St. Louis Republic. His
last slumber came so many years ago that
he has forgotten what it is like to lie
down at night and awake refreshened and
reJuvenated. Sleep is an unknown guam
uty with Suite, and while others are
buried in deep somnolency, he either lies
upon his bed and gazes on the stars or if

The Emperor Francis Joseph, for eco
nomical reasons, it is said, has just abol-
ished a custom of long standing with re-

wear them, but are 10 remain at the
disposal of his majesty. In addition TO
this the servants of the kitchen have been
prohibited from dsp0sing of the food from
the imperial table a. heretofore. The gra-
tuitous supply of frewood, wine and three
wax candles has also been stopped These
retrenchments and reforms have occasion
ed considerable commotion in the imperial
household, and representations have been
made to his majesty, but in vain.
Pascal was obviously a heaven-born
mathematician. BY the age of u, we are
told, he had thought out for himself the
elementary propositions of Euclid; by 10
he had invented and constructed a calcu-
.ating machine, and obtained results
which were important steps towards the
differential calculus developed by Newton
and Liebnitz. In his last years, when at
tackled by bad toothache he returned
to the studies which had long been thrown
aside and in a few sleepless nights discov-
cred certain geometrical theorems. His
results were published and the mathema-
ucians of Europe challenged to find out
the proof. After three months labor,
Wallis. the ab.est English mathematician
of the day, produced proof-not it is
said satisfactory. Patriotism induces me
to add that Wallis had no toothache to
stimulate him.

1t is a somewhat peculiar condition
when a body outgrows its backbone.
That however, is the condition of sa-
vannah. Bull street is the spinal column,
dividing the right and left or east
and west, sides of the city. BY an unfort-
innate arrangement, however, the back
bone is compressed. The thoroughfare
has a toll gate across it just a couple of
hundred feet from the present city limits.
The toll gate says to the city. "Thus far
and no further shalt thou grow"
Despite efforts which have been made
to divert it, the growth of the city is
southwark. During the last few years
there has been a great deal of building in
the section opened up by the removal Of
the toll gate from the old to the new site.
Within a few years there Will not be a
lot for sale between Second avenue and
Twelfth street which will come within the
means of the man of moderate income;
and that man will have to go elsewhere
for his home And he will desire to go
further south. Under present conditions,
going further south means going through
the toll gate 1t is good public policy,
therefore, TO prepare at once for the fur
Their southwark movement of the city The
present corporate limits will not
suffice for many more years, and there is
no better time to take into consideration
the question Of future expansion than the
present, when necessary concessions can
be had cheaply.
One of the most fruitful means to the
end OF building up the city is the opening
up and building OF good streets. not for
the benefit of owners OF adjoining prop
erty, but for the good Of the community
and OF posterity. The city authorities of
Savannah OF forty or fifty years ago pro-

The county authorities also should give
attention TO this matter The city Of sa-
vannah pays nearly all OF the taxes Of

son why the city should get back in re-
turn for its money the public improve

Currency Reform Demanded.

President Mckinley still hesitates to re-
commend to congress the appointment of
a currency commission. He is afraid Of
stirring up the silver question" If that
issue were precipitated in congress it
might endanger the prospects of the early
passage of his darling tariff bill, and the
contributors to the republican campaign
funds might have to wait a few weeks
longer before they could get their hands
into the pockets Of the people He is
afraid Of exciting Jones of Nevada, a
representative of the silver trust in the
Senate, the big boss who was able TO
have imposed upon every cake of soap
an increased tax in order that the borax
trust might put more dollars into its
treasury and to put tax upon every pair
of shoes in order to still further enrich the
cattle trust of the west. Jones of Ne
Vada, representing a pocket-borough with
the population of a city ward, is one OF
the most formidable members of that
most august delberative body in the
world the Senate. He holds up the
country by the throat until his trusts
have got what they want.
Now Jones of Nevada and some of his
friends in the Senate are opposed to a
currency commission. They are afraid
the commission would report against six
teen to one. They are not willing, appar-
entity to have the matter presented in all
Of its phases to the commission, and by
the commission to the people and to con-
gress. If they were sincere in their ad-
vocacy Of the matter, and were satisfied
the adoption Of their ideas would be the
best for the welfare of the country, would
they not be only too glad to have the
widest publicity given to their demands"
and the arguments in favor of them?
While the President is hesitating and
Jones of Nevada and others are frown-
ing, the people are growing FESTIVE. Not
only are the masses clamoring for re-
vision and reform of the currency, but
even the bankers are adding their voices.
AT the convention of the New York State
Bankers Association at Saratoga the
other day, strong resolutions were adopt
ed calling upon the President to take some
action looking to the reforming of the
currency. Currency is the basis of all
business transactions" said the resolu-
tons, land unless this basis is sure and
unvarying trade and commerce cannot
thrive nor prosperity be assured" 1t is
the desire of everybody, "silverites" as
well as gold bugs" that the currency
shall be speedily placed upon a firm and
stable basis. The New York bankers re-
commend the retirement of all govern
ment paper, land that a safe bank cur
rency under government supervision be
substituted" This is in line with recon-
mendatons made by eX-President Cleve-
land and other authorities that the gov
eminent be taken out of the banking bust
ness. So long as the greenbacks remain
outstanding, necessitating a gold reserve,
and there remains a law directing that
the greenbacks shall be reissued thus
furnishing an endless chain whereby that
reserve may be raided at will, the cur
rency question must remain in an unset
tied state.

A Bear Cub Down a Chimney.

Shrieks of Help, murder, fire, police"
and similar cries at about o'clock in the
morning uttered in the shrill voice of a
terrified woman, aroused the policeman on
the Pike street beat and awakened scores
of sleeping citizens in the vicinity of I'm
ion street and Third avenue, says the Sc
attic correspondence of the San Francisco
Call. The officer finally located the cries
and ran down Union street to a lodging
house which fronts on Third avenue,
where a woman was standing in the mid
die of the sidewalk, yelling at the top of
her voice.
on top of the house from which the wo-
man had just emerged was a small boy,
while perched on one of the chimneys just
out of the lads reach was a bear cub. The
bluecoat, with the help of the neighbors
who found sufficient courage to go out of
doors where such terrible things were
happening, finally got the boy and woman
together and heard their stories.
The woman stated that she was sound
asleep in room No. 10 of the lodging house
when tin covering over a hole where a
stove-pipe was once connected with the
chimney was suddenly kicked out of place
and fell down on the bed, followed by two
bricks and dirty little ball of fur, which
she did not a. the time recognize as a
bear. Bruin brought SCOT galore and
frightened the woman half out of her
wits. AS soon as the little bear saw the
woman and heard her shrieks he climbed
into the hole again and went back up the
chimney.
The boy says the bear got loose from
his back yard, and he was awakened by
hearing the cub climbing up the side of
the house. He put on his clothes and fol-
lowed. The bear gained the roof OF the
lodging house and climbed TO the top of
the chimney. The boy grabbed at him and
the frightened cub fell into the hole and
fell out at the bottom, his weight pushing
out the tin covering opening in room No.

The Morning News is not in any man
ner whatsoever prejudiced, one way or the
other, in the matter of the site of the state
agricultural college. We have spoken
against the removal Of the college from
Athens for the reason that we believe the
interests Of the people for whom the col
lege was instituted would be better served
by permitting 1t to remain where it is and
seeking to make 1t better, than by up
setting It and removing II to another
place. We cannot conceive how the prox-
unity of the university can be prejudiclal
to the college; on the other hand, it seems
that II would be an advantage. II is not
clear how the youth of the state would
be benefited by impairing their educational
advantages. Is It desired that the young
men who attend the agricultural college
shall have only circumscribed opportuni-
ties? We believe that the farmer boys
are deserving OF everything IN the way
OF education that they can get. and that
the way to give It TO them Is. not to scat
ter the higher schools In various towns
but to bring them as nearly together as
may he practicable. In so far as the sup
port OF the university is concerned. Il Is
VIGOROUSLY a fact that the legislature
year after year, treats the institution In
a sighting manner and never gives IL
more than a shadow Of support
