PRINCETON INN TROUBLE.
u Threatens to Cause Serious Eruption 81
the Next session OF the Presbyterian
General Assembly.


New YORK, April 10. War Is threat
ened in the Presbyterian church that
will overshadow the famous contro-
versy over DR.. Briggs alleged heresy.
The present trouble grows out Of the
Princeton inn incident when former
President Cleveland Joined with Prot.
Charles Woodruff Shields, who holds
the chair of harmony, science and re.
vealed religion in Princeton college,
and other property owners OF the
university town in signing a pc
tition that liquor license be granted
to that hostelry, which is favorite
resort for students as well as for
members of the faculty and their
friends. Prof. Shields has left the
Presbyterian church and has been con.
frmed in the Episcopal faith by Bishop
Potter. 1t Is now learned that Presi-
dent Patton. with Prot. Dutiield and
Prot Cameron, Of the college, have re-
fused to 20 as delegates to the Presby.
terrain general assembly. Many per.
sons predict that this action presages
the absolute breaking away Of Prince
ton university from the denomination.
1t is probable that the college will
be entirely without representation at
the convention. The opinion is ex-
pressed that no explanation which the
faculty might offer would be accepted
by the assembly, as Prof. Shields ac-
ton in indorsing the application for
the liquor license has been denounced
formally'ln scathing terms by Presby-
terian bodies in almost every state Of
the union.

To PREVENT PENSION FRAUDS

To PREVENT PENSION FRAUDS
A determined step has been taken by
the war department to prevent pen.
sion frauds that might be perpetrated
as an outcome of the war just closed
and with this purpose in view Pension
Agent General St. Clair Mulholland,
of this city, has received advices from
Washington relative to regulations for
mastering out soldiers. In these ad-
vices, which emanate from the war de-
partment, it is ordered that the physi-
cal condition of each soldier be ascer'
tanned and noted before his discharge
papers are issued. The purpose OF
this regulation, it was explained, is
for the purpose of preventing false
claims in the future.
General Mulholland said the import
ance of the precaution could not be
too highly estimated, as it would save
the government vast amount Of litl-
cation; but he doubted whether the
authorities would be able to live up
to the regulation. He dwelt upon
the difficulties that would be encoun'
tered in mastering out large forces
of men in few days, and said it was
likely that many would endeavor to
escape the examination in their hurry
to get to their homes.
Speaking of the judiciousness Of the
plan he cited case of 8 soldiers

CoURTsHIP In GEORGIA.-When a
Georgia farmer found out that his son
John was sparkling certain farmers
daughter for year or more without
settling any question, he called him
out behind the stack and said:
"John, do you love Susan Tucker" "'
II guess l do, dad"
"And does she love you ?"
"That's what 1 dunno, dad, and I'm
afraid to ask her."
"Well, you'd better throw out a few
hints tonight and find out. It's no
use wearing out boot leather unless
YOU are going to marry her."
That night at 10 o'clock John came
home g. wreck. His face was all
scratched up and his ear was bleeding,
his hat gone and his back covered
with mud.
"John, John! what on earth is the
matter with you?" exclaimed the old
man, laying down his paper.
"Bin over to Tucker's," was the re-
ply. "And-and-and I threw out a
few hints TO SuSan.
"What kind o. hints ?"
"Why, I told her I'd been hoofng it
two miles four nights week for the
last two years to set up with her while
she chewed gum and sung through her
nose, and now I reckoned it was time
for her to brush her teeth and darn
her stockings, cure the bile on her
chin and tell the folks we're en-
gagged" .,
HAnd her father bounced you?"
"No, dad, no; there's where I'm
consoled. 1t took the whole family,
including Susan, two hired men and
three dogs, and then wasn't more'n
half licked. 1 Iguess we moved on 'em
too soon, dad-I guess it wasn't quite
time to throw out hints"

I WILL.-There are no two words
in the English language which stand
out in bolder relief, like kings upon a
checkerboard, to so great an extent,
says a popular writer, as the words 81
will" There is strength, depth and
solidity-decision, confidence and pow
er-determination, vigor and individ-
uality in the round, ringing tone which
characterizes its delivery. 1t talks to
you of triumph over difficulties, of
victory in the face of Encouragement,
of will to promise and strength to per-
form, of'lofty and daring enterprise,
of unfettered aspirations, and of the
thousand and one solid impulses by
which man masters imperiments in
the way of progression. Point US out
the boy who, with ditiant glance and
flashing eye, dare roll out a strong,
emphatic II WILL" and we will point
you out the making of man bound
to conquer as he goes.

TALKING BUsINEss.-A Detroit bus
mess man has daughter and also a
confidential clerk, and the confidential
clerk has for some time been attentive
to the daughter, but he has motor
had not month ago-sufticient cour-
age to come to the point, though the
young woman, goodness knows, has
never done anything to scare him off,
for he is a firstclass fellow in every
respect. The other evening he was
making call, and about 9 O'Clock her
father came in.
"Ah, George" he said, show about
that deal we were talking about this
afternoon Did you see the party ?"
ayes, sir" replied George, "and l
expected to see you this evening and
tell you about it"
"My DEAR" said the father, turning
to his daughter, twill you retire for a
few minutes? George wants to talk
business for awhile"
The daughter rose to 60, but hesl-
tated.
"Why do have to 60 ?" she asked
doubtfully.
because, DEAR" smiled the father,
"you are not interested. Why do you
want to stay?"
She blushed and started out.
because, papa" she twittered, "Pd
like to hear George talk business, just
once"
Then George got red, and the father
looked at them both significantly, and
the girl fled.
