At DIR. McCosh's Expense.

The late d.. McCosh of Princeton
university was an excellent hand at
securing donations for that institu-
ton, and yet it'was always his boast
that he never asked any man for 81
cent. In connection with this we'll
known trait of President McCosn's
character u prominent educator of
this city tells how one of tho doc
tors friends and Chauncey NJ. De
pew once conspired to mOrtify the
good old Princetonian at 81 Yale din
ner. 1t was arranged that tho friend
should accuse the doctor of begging
and that MI. Dcpcw should follow
with q 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 up a collection for
Princeton at the end.
During this address DR.. McCosh
turned white with anger and started
to reply, when the chairman recog-
nized Nh. Depew.
II believe that all the accusations
made against our Princctonian guest
are entirely without foundation"
said MI. Dcpew II have never
heard of his begging from II broker"
Never Neverl" cried DR.. Nc
Gosh.
And / never heard of his attend.
ing meetings called for other pur-
poses and begging for his univcr-
eity."
"Never!" again echoed the doctor.
"The only time I ever heard of
anything of that kind implied" con
tinued Mr.. Depew, "was when l was
told that he stood on Il New York
street corner with a monkey and q
hand organ, wearing a rlacard, on
which was printed, i am poor and
blind; therefore please help Prince
tom" DIR. McCosh never attended

"The report of the Spanish COM
