WASTED Indignntion.

There is a fine residence facing the
boulevard in which there was quite a do.
mestic cyclone for a few minutes the
other day, says the Detroit Free Press.
The man of the house was rushing about
in an effort to make UP for lost time and
reach his Office by $50. While he was
running hither and thither with one shoe
on, looking for the other one. his wife
remarked, with view to averting an ex-
plosion, that she had purchased ten of
those bulbs for IS.
What's that?" shouted the husband.
Ten for IS! Are you trying to bankrupt
me? l can buy them in any part OF the
civilized world for three for a quarter.
Come to think of it, the company fur
nishes them for nothing. Heavens! Eight
dollars for ten! Some agent, of course.
Talked you out of your senses. Had them
sent from New York; Are you daft?
There's a hundred places you can get them
here, and, as l say, you can have them
from the company for the asking. You
might just as well have thrown the money
into the river. I'll send the internal bulbs
back, and demand repayment. You've
been robbed and swindled. l don't pro-
pose to have you buncoed, and then pay
for it,"
But you can't send them back. They're

Worse and worse! In the ground, in

Took a Bath In the Capitol.

"Where is the governor timidly in

walked into the executive office Saturday
afternoon and, with his hat in his hand,
approached the desk occupied by Maj. A.

Journal
'The governor has gone home to spend
Sunday" replied the major, scarcely look
ing up from the writing which he was do

That's too bad" remarked the visitor,
walking uneasily about the office.
The strange visitor did not make his

rs that possible?"

He opened the door leading to the bath
room and told his visitor to go in and go
to work. The old fellow tiptoed in on the
tiled floor. looked around in a dazed sort
of way for some time, asked how to lock
and unlock the door, and finally announc-
ed his readiness 10 tackle the job.
Maj. Shreve retired and for half an hour
listened to sounds resembling the roar of
Niagara emerging from the room.
At the end of that time the old man
again made his appearance, having com

As Maj. Shreve resumed his work the
old man, with his cheeks aglow, ambled
out Of the office and said:

tell him that I came and got the bath he

A professional photographer tells tale
of a practical joke, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. One day young man came
to sit for his likeness. To the ordinary
eye he looked just like any other young
man. A couple of plates were exposed
and then the assistant, who was Operat-
ing, went into the dark room to develop
the negative. He was gone much longer
than usual, and was heard berating the
junior assistant pretty soundly for play
ing pranks with the apparatus. When he
returned to the studio he asked for an
other sitting and apologized for having be-
fore used spoiled plates. This time when
he went away to develop he was heard Ia
utter a slight scream, but he rappeared
and said there was a peculiar effect in
the negatives which he couldn't account
for and would the sitter oblge him again?
Once more he went to develop, then the
bell rang violently for the master, and
the two held a long Capitalization i'm the
dark room together This time the mas
ter tried his hand and went away to de-
velop. II was not long before he returned
and said he was sorry not to be able to
get satisfactory likeness, but a skull and

mans forehead.
Rubbish" said the sitter my fore

the matter with my forehead?" and he
peered into a mirror as he spoke.

The brown UnIversity cnse.

The Brown University controversy seems
likely TO continue with undated, but
rather with increased, vehemence at least
until Sept. j. when the corporation of
| the university Will meet and take action
upon President Andrews resignation.
| There is a possibility that the resigna-
! ton WIN not be accepted, though the pros
pect IN that direction is rather small. The
majority of the directors only a short
while ago were in opposition TO Prof An
drews, and as both ne and they are likely
20 prove unyielding, the probabilities are
that there will be a severance of rela-
tons.
The intensity of the discussion which
has ensued with regard to the matter
illustrates how deep seated ia the minds OF
people and papers the financial issue has
become -Four years ago. when political
party lines We're not so clearly drawn on
the money question, DR.. Andrews held
precisely the same views that are now OBJ
jected 60 by the directors OF his college
At that time he advocated the free and
unlimitd coinage of silver and gold at the
ration of sixteen to one, but at that time
of "bimetalIism." and the republican
party was as usual willing to do some
thing for silver" Some weeks ago, how
ever at the university commencement
meeting. and under the leadership of Con-
gresham Joseph A. Walker, a Massachu-
sets manufacturer of shoes, the present
movement against Or. Andrews was in
.,rfsgfrras.4 ha taI to far
hear, "out of regard for the interests of
the university, to promulgate his views
as to the free coinage Of silver at the
ratio of sixteen to one His reply was that
he could not crafty the directors with
out surrenderng that reasonable liberty of
utterance" which his predecessors, his fac
ulty colleagues and himself had hitherto
enjoyed, land in the absence of which the
most ample endowment for an educa-
tional institution would be Of little
worth" Following this. DR.. Andrews ten
dered his resignation which, as stated,
will be acted upon on Sept /.
Public opinion has divided into two
camps with regard to the matter. one
side holding that DR., Andrews was strict
ly within the scope of his duties and
privileges in teaching the sixteen 20 one
doctrine in his college; that institutions
of learning should not be subverted to the
purposes of the ''plutocracy," or the gold
standard element; that perfect freedom of
thought and speech should be permitted.
on the other hand it is claimed that there
is no objection to DR.. Andrews entertain
ing personally any opinion he may please.
but there is decided objection to his teach
ing that which the majority of the direc-
tors regard as false logic.
In short. DR.. Andrews seems to be in
a somewhat similar position to that occu-
pied for so long a time by DR.. Briggs.
except that the former is charged with
economic heresy, while the latter was
charged with religious heresy And after
the verdict has been rendered in the An
drews case. public opinion will remain
divided as it IS at present.

An Umbrella That Doesn't Hold
Water.

The chairman of the county commits
sioners some days ago, illustrated the po-
sition of the board on the question of
buying the Thunderbolt and White Bluff
shell roads by a characteristic story. In
speaking about the toll roads he said that
the question of buying them was just like
that of trading an old umbrella which
had been presented in its youth and
beauty" to man. who. after using Il un-
Ill II was worn out, offered to sell it to
the giver for s.. II is said the chairman
went on to complete the comparison by
stating that the people had given those
public highways to the toll road compa-
MES years ago and now those companies
want the people to take them back and
pay for them
The case as stated by the chairman of
the county commissioners in his usual
forceful way was thought by the gentle
man who heard it to be a regular sock
dologer." and he considered that il set
tied the question of the county's purchase
OF the toll roads In the negative by a
large majority. The umbrella story, how
ever, like the umbrella in question. won't
hold water. The fact is the ton road
companies took two sandy country roads
under charters from the state. and in con-
sideration of making them good roads
were allowed 10y law 60 charge toll to
those using them. Now that somebody
comes along and proposes to break their
good umbrella over their own heads, they
say don't injure It, but take our UNI

when it had nothing but old ribs ON IL,
and put a fairly good cover over them.
