STARTS OCTOBER 1.
Cosmopolitan University With DR..
Andrews at Its Head.

New York, Aug. lin the Septem-
her number of his magazine, which will
come out about the 25th instant, John
Brisben Walker will be able to realize
his hopes by making the definite an
nOuncement that President Andrews
will take charge on Septem Der 1 and
the work of the university will be for
mally begun on October l." He will
also describe what is intended to be ac-
cOmplished.
This university" says Mr.. Walker,
has been an idea of mine for num-
Der of years, as one result of the in
terest in and thought on education
Which have long engaged me. 1t could
not be undertaken, however, without
having at its head man of large abi1-
1ty and position. While 1 was longing
for the right man to become accessible
the letter of the trustees of Brown uni
versity to President Andrews appeared.
I went Immediately to Providence and
saw DR.. Andrews, and he has definitely
accepted the presidency of the COSmo-
pOlitan university.
He has already begun work by ap-
the advisory board of ten: Spencer
Trask, the well known banker of New
York; President McAllister of the
Drexe1 Institute, Philadelphia; Albert
Shaw, American editor of the Review
of Reviews: General Samuel Thomas,
the prominent railroad man, and Geo.
F. Seward, president of the Fidelity and
Casualty company of New York.
Il should think that the foregoing
names ought to dispose of the inference
so freely drawn that the Cosmopolitan
university was to be free silver move
ment.' Politics does not enter into it
at all.
The method of the university, so far
as now worked out, will be as follows:
A student will forward to the universe
ty his name and address and the pur-
pose for which education is sought, and
the studies which the applicant desires
to pursue. Each such statement will
go to DR.. Andrews. He will map out
the course of study which he deems the
best possible for the applicant in the
light of the information conveyed. He
will then dispatch his own diagnosis OF
the applicants case and prescription
therefor to the most eminent expert ON
the particular study with whom he is
acquainted. This expert will revise
the course and the accompanying in
Structions and will return the document
to President Andrews

the forgotten man in the bill. Some of
the Republican senators said to me:
for the bill / think that was true in
every particular. The caucus was alb
solutely ironclad.The Republican mem
bers were compelled to walk into the
captains office and sign the record;
Had they failed in that they would
have been cut off by the admin1stra-
ronage. 1 think every memper was
more or less dissatisfied with the meas
threats.
1.-The best thing I heard in the sem
ate was uttered by White OF Calfornla
who. after the tariff bill had been
passed, turned to Senator Mark Hanna
while speaking and said:
" I do hope that the corporations OF
the country will now give to the chair
man of the national Repu blican com
mittee a receipt in full. His debt has
Mr.. Hanna colored perceptibly and
he did not do so.
1.-The tariff bill will increase to the
Kansas farmer the price of potato SACKS
~ cents. Grain sacks will be increas-
ed cents each. The price of all wool
en- goods will be increased, as Will the
price upon cutlery and all kinds OF
ready gone up. There was an effort
made to secure a provision for stamp
duties upon stocks and bonds TO IN
crease the internal revenue, but that
was dropped out and was PROBABLY
never intended to be passed-simply
bluff. The people of this country will
now have an object lesson in tariff re-
form, which in my opinion, Will cure
the habit entirely
Mr.. Harris likes Washington because
he spent much of his boyhood there
He never forgetS to say a good WORD
for Kansas. He said:
Although Kansas has many Vagar-
les and our people shoot off at tan
gent now and then, man VINO talks
of being ashamed of this state, state
which has no superior in the world, in
my opinion. is an IDIOT.

SHE WAS POISONED.
Sixteen Year Old Girl Found
Dead i'm a Pasture.

Bristol, VT, Aug. 1.-THE autopsy on
the body of Dora Cushman, the 16-year-
old girl whose body was found in a
pasture at Lincoln. yesterday, disclosed
evidence which the physicians say show
that death resulted from poisoning 1t
was also disclosed that the girl was in
a delicate condition.
William Brittel, an intimate friend of
Smith Davis, who disappeared from
Lincoln yesterday, has been arrested.
Britte1 has admitted that Davis had
told him of the Cushman girls condi-
ton and said he had purchased some
the trouble.
1t is thought that the girl and Davis
went to an appointed place and she
that Davis fled when he saw the effect
of it. The authorities have traced the
fugitive as far as Rutland, where he
bought a ticket for Manchester, N. H.

MURDER AND ROBBERY.
Thieves Kill the Proprietor of
a Circulating Library.

Philadelphia, Aug. 17.-William G.
Wilson, aged about SIS, proprietor OF
Wilson's circulating library at No. 1119
Walnut street was brutally murdered
last night in his place of business. The
crime was evidently committed by
thieves. who lay in wait for their vic
tim, and after numbering him, accomp-
lished the robbery. The weapon used
was a heavy hammer which crushed
through Wilson's skull.
After looting the place of all money
that may have been there, they made
their escape without leaving a clue to
their identity. Mr.. Wilson had for
years, conducted the library at various
places and always had the patronage
of the wealthy literary classes. The
general impression prevailed that he
had accumulated considerable money.
He rarely mingled with the outside
world and lived alone on the third floor
of the library, the two lower floors be-
ing filled with books.

court
He says the first suit which he

would be permit ed to engage in BUSH

from the insurance department.

of proceedings he will begin, but Simp-
