At DR.. Mccosh,s Expense.

The late Dr.. McCosh of Princeton
university was al excellent hand at
securing donations for that institu-
tion, and yet itwas always his boast
that he never asked any man for a
cent. In connection with this we'll
known trait of President McCosh's
character prominent educator of
this city tells how one of tho doc
tors friends and Chauncey M. De-
pew once conspired to mortify the
good old Princetonian at a Yale din
ner. Itwas arranged that the friend
should accuse the doctor of begging
and that MI. Dcpcw should follow
with Il vigorous denial. In the first
speech it was asserted that Dr.. Nc
Gosh made Il practice of calling upon
brokers in their offices and remain
ing until, in sheer desperation, the
brokers gave him contributions to
get rid Of him; also that he attended
meetings of various kinds for the
purpose of taking mp collection for
Princeton ut the end.
During this address DR.. McCosh
turned white with anger and started
to reply. when the chairman recoS-
ni2ed Nh. Depew.
II believe that all the accusations
made against our Princctonian guest
arc entirely without foundation,
said Mr. Depew Il have never
heard of his begging floma broker. y
Never Never!' cried DR.. Nc
Gosh.
And never heard of his attend
lug meetings called for other pur-
poses and begging for his univcr-
sity.''
N'Never!" again echoed the doctor.
1.-The only time ever heard of
anything Of that kind implied, con-
tinued Mr.. Depew, was when was
told that he stood on Il New York
street corner with Il monkey and Il
hand organ, wearing Il l,lacard on
which was printed, 1 am poor and
blind; therefore please help Prince
ton. 80 DR.. McCosh never attended
