thai. 1t shows that deposits in the banks Of the
State have increased since Jan. l by SIS, DOC, 900.
After pointing out how rapid the progress of i'm.
provement has been in different counties, tho
report concludes:
what did Kansas have to dispose OF during
the first six months of this year rs compared to
what she will have to sell the last six months Of
the year 1871 Tho people had corn, but the
price was so low that all who could do 30 hold
it. The savings represented by tho increased
deposits must have come largely from livestack.
creamery products. &c"
Mr.. Briedenthal also reported that thore had
been a very largo decrease in loans. and the
prospects for q larger decrease during the last
six months Of this year are large.
The report has created a profound impression
in the financial circles controlled by the men
who fought for free silver last fall. As the price
of wheat continues to advance tho fighting
against free silver in Kansas appears to increase.

Strangely enough. Seymour's powers OF speech

His mind seems to bridge q great blank. He can

the point OF his last awakening and the time o.

he is still In Toronto with the hypnotist. When

KEEP FTEGLASSEs CLEAN.
An OcuIist Warns the Wenrers or apectacIes
Against Negligence.

From the IittsburO Dispatch
An oculist expresses himself very emphatically
on the amount OF damage that is done TO tho
eyes OF the community from negligence in u very
simple matter. that of keeping their spcctacles
and eyeglasses clean. He says: " l am shocked
10 aee the number OF persons, in elllEent men and
women, who should know better, who spend their
lives behind grimy eyeglasses. Lawyers, writer's,
students, schoolgirls and schoolboys. and eyc'
takers Of various sorts who use glasses. rarely
use them clean. To keep the pebbles in good
wearing condition they should DO cleaned about
agent rs alcohol, and q handkerchief should
give place TO a piece Of tissue papcr. Chamois
Is useful also, and either is bctter than tho
linen handkerchief. The amount of injury done
TO the worlds cyesight through cloudy glasses
is almost incalculable.'
Another authority says that II alcohol Is not
at hand. the glasses should be placed IL u wash
bowl and soaked in warm water. Then they
should be washed with soap and rubbed with. .
soft nail brush. Afterwari they should DO
polished with tooth powder, and receive u final
rub with tissue paper. A few drops OF ammonia
may be added TO tho water in which tho glasses
are soaked. An optician who has the patronage
OF many Of the lorgnette sex declares that he has
customers who come TO him and demand that
| their glasses be changed, saying they cannot SEQ
through them. Tho only trouble Is that, the
| lenses need washing" says the optician, and
ali they usually get is polishing with chamois
leather"

Wayland of Philadelphia. a member of tho
Brown University corporation. who is at pres
emit in this city. talked very freely with a re-
porter regarding the resignation OF President

ment.

ference with President Andrews, lasting about
two hours. There was perfect harmony. and tho
members OF the committee left the President
with the understanding that he would do moth
ing about the matter until the meeting Of the
corporation, at least. They were totally sur
prised when the announcement was made that
the President had resigned.
There has been much misunderstanding OF
this affair. and many people have said much
when they know nothing about it. For instance.
1t has been said that Mr.. Rockefeller was to
give a million dollars to the university. No one
knows anything about this, and no one has n
right TO make any such statement. Mr.. Rookie
Teller Is not in tho habit OF speaking
OF his plans. and any such statement should
como from. him. | think the corporation has
done nothing II had not a perfect right TO do.
The report of the committee on conference, to
be published later, will show that the corpora.
tion has no reason to retreat from Its action.
Il have the utmost respect for President An
drcws.' DIR. Wayland said In conclusion. He
has great ability and excellent intentions; but
think he made a mistake. II l. child's talk Ia
say that the action Of tho corporation was not
courteous TO the President"
Dir. Wayland said that the names OF Prof.
Wheeler of Cornell. DIR. Strou' OF Rochester, cx'
President Hill of Rochester, Dir. Taylor of Vas
sar, and President Whitman OF Columbian Uni
versity have been mentioned for Dr. Andrews
place. The officers of the class of 1896 % brown
