MRS. BEECHER IS WORSE.
Physicians Say There is No Chance
for Her Recovery.

Stamford, Conn, Feb. Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher's condition is worse, and
her physicians say that on account of
her advanced age there is no chance
that she will recover from the injury to
her hip. She can not be moved from her
bed.
Mrs Beecher came here just before
Christmas to visit relatives. In taking
a walk she fell, dislocating or breaking
her thigh. At no time since then has
she been in any encouraging state of
health. Prior to the accident, though
she was unusually bright and active.

Although the work of the Kansas
university is recognized as being of
high order, and compares favorably
with other leading institutions of learn
ing, it is shown by the report of the
board of regents, that it's work is ac-
cOmp1ished at a much less cost per stu
dent than that of any one of ten of the
most prominent colleges and univer-
stiles in the country. The salaries paid
are in almost every instance lower than
those paid in other similar institutions.
Under these circumstances it is diff
ficuft to see where there is room for a
reduction of $4,000 in the appropriation
as is proposed unless it is desired to
cripple the university or curtail it's use
fitness If it is worth maintaining at
all, and perhaps none will say that it
is not, it is certainly worth maintain
ing at it's present standard This, it
must be apparent from the figures cited
it will be impossible to do on a reduc-
ed appropriation.
While the people may not feel like
submitting to an expenditure equal to
that of Michigan, Wisconsin or Califor-
mia. they are probably able and willing
to keep pace with Nebraska, which ex-
pends $3.50 900 a year on it's university.
To cut this amount in two as proposed
can hardly be regarded otherwise than
as mistake.
Kansas cannot afford to take any step
| backwards, especially in educational
matters The university is here and
has cost a large sum. 1t can hardly be
called a good bushes smove to lose the
use of it or any part of it for the pur-
pose OF saving 500, 900 to be divided
among a million and a half of people.

SPARE THE UNIVERSITY.

So many opportunities for economy
in state expenditures exist that it seems
unnecessary and certainly unfortunate
that some members of the legislature
should select the state university as an
object of the pairing policy. While I'M
der existing conditions, a refusal to
grant the amount asked for new build
ings may be justified a reduction in the
customary annual allowance for run
ming expenses cannot be effected with
out Gripping the efficiency of the in
stitution.
A comparison of the income of the
Kansas university with the annual in
comes of those in nine other western
states shows the Kansas institution to
be at the bottom of the list. These
states with the annual income of each

FOUND BALE COMPRESSES TO
BE OPERATED ON~A COOP
ERATTVE BASIS.

The fears of monopoly in the
handling of cotton by the round
bale process, which have existed
in some quarters, may be set at
rest by the statement in the Man
ufacturers' Record that it is au-
thoritatively informed that the
American Cotton Co. proposes to
to operate its cylindrical COM
presses in cooperation with local
planters and ginners throughout
the South. The plan of operations
that has been decided upon will
enable planters and ginners to
avail themselves of the benefits of
this invention on liberal co-op-
erative basis, with q market for
their cotton assured. The CON-
pany will begin at once the intro
duction of round-bale congresses.
In an interview in the Manu-
facturers' Record, Mr.. Henry
Hentz, President of the New York
Cotton Exchange, calmly and ac-
ourHteffy guges the opposition to
the new process, and from an in
dependent standpoint, supported
by practical experience, he SAYS
that "it is absolutely certain that
cotton packed in cylindrical bales
under the system adopted by this
company will bring higher prices
al the world over than that packed
n the prevailing style"

After Gen. B. It. Butler had been
sent to New Orleans to command
during the Civil War, his record
as brutual enemy was such and
he made himself so odious to the
citizens there that delegation
was sent on to Washington to in
terview Mr.. Lincoln and get Gen.
Butler removed. The President
heard the address patiently and
asked the chairman of the con
mittee if it was not true that Gen
Bnttler had succeeded in keeping
the yellow fever way from their
city. Yes" said the chairman,
"but the good Lord would not
send the yellow fever and Gen.
Butler to alhict them at-the same

Theological circles in New Or
leans have been very much excit-
ed over Bishop Sessums Lenten
sermon which was published in
the city dailies at the time. The
pastors of the different churches
in New Orleans united in a written
protest against the doctrine of the
Bishops sermon, which he very
properly declined to notice. His
own church is the only forum be-
fore which he should answer charg-
es OF any sort. Bishop Sessums
Is a man of the highest intellec-
tual powers and is pure, good
