Smalley said: THE fact of the matter
is that the agite tion of the money ques-

Now that the country is enjoying uni
versal prosperity the money question as
an issue has died out. 1t is only the
politicians who are trying to make it
an issue. 1t would not have been heard
but that all of the Democratic conven-

the want of an issue of some kind. re-
affirmed the Chicago platform.

OFF YEAR ELECTION IN MAINE.

Portland. Me-. Sept. 13.-The state

trict. Thomas B. Reed; Second district,
Nelson Dingley; Third district, Edwin

out of 430 indicate that Governor Pow

The election was marked by compara-
tive apathy on the part of the Re

all over the state was somewhat greater
than even the Republican managers
anticipated. The decrease in Speaker
Reeds vC.e was particularly noticeable,
being nearly 1000. Dingley did not make
a speech during the campaign, confin-

ANOTHER PEARL BRYAN CASE
Last of the Remains of Rachel Warner
Found.

Bridgeport, Conn. Sept. 13.-All
parts of the dismembered body of the
young woman so mysteriously muir
dered and mutilated and cast into
yellow Mill river have been found.
The trunk was discovered today; the
upper half. with the arms attached,
in one package, the lower part of the
body in another. The abdominal
part of the trunk was swathed in
white rubber sheets such as are used
in surgical operating rooms. This,
together with plain evidence that the
body was severed. like the legs and
head, by using keen knife and per-
feet edge saw, leads the police to the
conviction that the mutilation and
presumably murder was done by a
surgeon. Other evidence suggests
that the young woman was the victim
of a criminal operation. A piece of
muslin in the woman's mouth seems
TO indicate that she was gagged per-
haps smothered. The woman NAV
have been poisoned say the physicians
who have noted the color of her ewes.

former minister of the United States to

respects TO the president. On leaving
the White House. in answer to inquiries
DENLY said that in his judgment the
United States should retain permanent
possession of all or practically all of the
Philippine islands. To surrender them
to Spain would be only to invite a con-
troversy and possibly a war among the
European nations for their possession,
and IL the United States is to make ef-
fort to secure any considerable portion
OF the markets of the far east the Philip
pines would be of very great advantage

question had been practically settled
for the present at least. He did not be-
lieve that there was anything in the
situation to justify the expectation Of a
partition OF China among the powers.

STUDENT WIT.
How English Undergraduates Are Peculiar
Unto Themselves.

The undergraduate is a creature of a
class peculiar to himself and battles
classification. He speaks language
of his own, has his own code of Ell
quette and morals, and his own sense of
humor. When he announces that a
Cats man has been ploughed in the
stinks,' he merely means that ST.
GATHERINGS man has failed in his nat
ural science tripos examination; but
even this verbal ambiguity may be par
doned in man who buys his butter by
the yard and cultivates learning on
"squish.'
His humor. proud as he is of it, is
seldom equal to his learning, and is
rather frank than witty Once year
however, cabined it may be at other
times. this humor breaks bounds and
runs riot in defiance of proctors and
vice-chancellors. This is in Com
men," when his university honors it
self by comforting degrees on distin-
guished outsiders. Then the under
graduates gather in battalions and fill
the gallery of the theatre in riotous
crowds.
Every undergraduate is for the nonce
a privileged punster, a licensed humor-
list: and every man tries to outVie his
fellows in daring Witticisms. The raft
ers shake with topical songs. and many
an old gentleman in the area is para =
lyzed by a request to remove his hat or
his wig. as the case may be.
oxford men cherish the day when
John Bright and Oliver Wendell
Holmes, gentlcst Of autocrats, received
their degrees in the historic theatre.
DR.. Holmes, with his light. boysh
figure and amiable face, made a strong
appeal to the gods in the gallery, who,
to a man, decided to protect him. at
all costs. from the onslaught Of the
Public Orator.
1t is always the Latin orator who is
the chief butt of undergraduate wit,
and on this occasion nothing but nerves
of steel would have brought him
through the ordeal.
