axnostic. Atheist or InfideI.

Atheist lnn0et
From that time. for a period Of two
months. the board was engaged in discuss
ing the question whether / vas an agnos-
tic or atheist or lnfidel On the night that
the board INDUCED in such lively discus
sion of the merits of the question, Mr..
Wiley quoted Mr. Fay as saying that DIR.
Hamiiton's head contained no more gray
matter than his INST. and that his books
were filled with absurdities.' Mr.. Wiley
quoted these words 70 Mr. Fay. and the
latter could only reply that he had changed
his mind after reading the books.
My reasons for recommending the dis
missal OF Dr. Hamilton were that the
finances Of the state did not warrant en-
ploying two men in the same field. and
that Or. Hamilton's philosophy was more
OF the nature OF that taught in theological
semiuaries on the other hand be-
Ieved that DR., Bolton represented a more
practical school Of philosophy. especially
the application of psychology to modern
educational methods aud thought.
Or Bolton was finally appointed pro-
fessor of philosophy and education. Az
ter a long discussion Dr. Hamilton was
appointed professor of mental and moral
science and oratory. with no intention in
my opinion on the part of the board that
he was 10 continue in the capacity of
professor Of education.
About this time We began work on the
catalogue Some time during the sum-
mer. when the manuscript Was about
ready for the printer l received notice
from Mr.. Fay. chairman of the committee
on instruction. to attend a meeting of
tho committee to consider the catalogue.
Regent Fay pulled two letters from his
pocket one from Miss ODER in reply to
a letter from me asking her 10 make
some change in her courses. and the other
from Dr. Hamilton. These instructors
apparently went % the regents with their
complaints without consulting me. This
being apparent. Regent Hayden put on his
hat and said that If they had letters in
their pockets from every member Of the
faculty he did not approve Of IT,

But the law is even broader than
this. The defendant is the owner of the
property and as such she is responsible
for any nuisance which she permits to
be created there, and she is charged
with the responsibility of seeing that
no public nuisance is created upon her
property. 1t is, therefore, immaterial
whether the holes were dug by the gar
dener, or by Louis or any other mem
Der of the family. In either case the
mistress of the house is liable for dam
ages arising therefrom"
After quoting several authorities
Judge Shaw makes the following ex-
tract from Blackstone: "A master is,
lastly, chargeable if any of his family
layeth or casteth anything out of his
house into the street or common high
way to the damage of any individual.
or the common nuisance Of his majesty's
liege people; for the master hath the SUI
perintendence and charge of all his
household"
Upon these principles it is certain"
continues the court, that there is no
evidence to justify the verdict The dig
ging of the holes upon the sidewalk was
a public nuisance unless the precautions
required by the city ordinance were OBJ
served. No attempt was made to OBJ
serve them. The holes were dug. and
the nuisance thus created was allowed
to remain The plaintiff has a right to
assume that the sidewalk was in a prop
er condition The evidence that she dill
not use due. care to look about for such
dangers was so slight that l do not be-
leve that the jury regarded it at all"
