OUR NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
"Hsrper,s Magazsne'' Go IN


Its Condition aud Makes Suggestions
1t is not too much to say that Presi-
dent Washingtn's bright dream of ma
tional education is largely realized-that
there is a National Seminary of Learning
in the national capital in which the arts,
belles-lettres, and especially the sciences,
are taught in their fullest extent, there
by embracing all the advantages of Euro
pean tuition, with the means of acquiring
the liberal knowledge which is necessary
of public as well as private life" 1t is
a nameless and structureless university,
standing on a higher plane han any lo-
cal school, howsoever exalted in aim and
work. Its patrons are the founders and
builders of the nation; it's chancellors,
past n present, are such masters as
Henry, Baird, Powell, Newcomb and
Langley, whose fame is broad as e~iviliza-
ton; its regency is the Federal Executive,
legislative and Indicative combined; its
faculty includes nearly all American Gre
ators of knowledge; its fellows are d
thousand picked post-graduates, and its
preparatory school comprises the organ
lied universities and colleges of half a
hundred commemorative. 1t co-ordi-
mates our educational institutions, from
university to public school; and, more
than all else. it establishes the true raj
through direct application to human well
fare, what knowledge is best. The final
step of organizing this great university is
a duty of the early future.

A COMPLICATED CASE.
Fight In Chancery Over a Trust Made
9 Quarter Cenfury Ago.

Chancellor McGill spent most of his time
this morning in listening to the COM
plicated case of DR.. Theodore Morris
against the estate of Nicholas Vreeland.
In 1871 Vreeland was made trustee of a
fun for the benefit of five persons, of
whom DR.. Morris wife was one. In 1887
Vreeland died and DR.. Morris brought
suit against the Vreelands to secure the
share of his wife who had died in the
meantime. The case has dragged along
since then. 1t was Isaac S. Taylor and
the number of interests growing out of
the death of some of the beneficiaries of
the trust and their executors and adj
ministrators made the matter a very
complicated one. The Master made a re-
port to the effect that the shares be
paid to those for WHOM the trust was
made or to their representatives, out of
Nicholas Vreeland's estate. 1t was on
this report that this mornings proceed
ings were AIKEN. Charles Hartshorn,
Otto Grouse and Charles Thompson APP
peared for the parties Interested and their
long arguments dragged the cases out.
The Chancellor took the papers and re-
served decision.

teen square miles of territory, will be
capable of storing 131, $40, 900 gallons. We

His Attraction.

Mr.. Montgomery was making his way
across the floor OF a small ballroom which
he has just entered. The room was COM
fortably filled with scions Of old families
who were enjoying a private hop. Mr..
Montgomery was attracting considerable
attention, and he was aware of this fact.
The trouble was that he ould not ac-
count for it. He was a child of a noble
race himself. and at no time in his life
did his Unborn dignity shine more con-
spieuously than now. He had passed the
early part of the evening with convivial

EMIL NEIL DEAD.
One or tho oldest CittxAns or the
Heights Passes Away.

Emil Mehl, one of the best known resi-
dents of the Hudson City section Of the
Heights, died at his home, No. 92 Sum
nit avenue, at four o'clock yesterday
morning. His death was due to a COM
plication of diseases. He leaves a widow
and four children. three Of the latter of
whom are grown UP.
The announcement of Mr.. Mehrs death
was received throughout the Hudson City
section with profound regret. For many
years he has been one of the city's fore
most business men. He was popular
with all classes. Ills genial disposition
made him many warm friends. He was
also one of the city's most charitably dis
posed citizens, and many acts of charity
nave been performed by him, of which
none but himself and the recipients
know.
He was born in Germany in 184S, and
came to this country when a young man.
He and his brother, the late John Mehl,
ST., built up a large business in the man
ufacture of leather pocketbooks, findings.
etc. He was Vice-President of the John
Mehl corporation, now running an ex-
tensive plant on Webster avenue, and
was. prominent in building and loan cir
Giles. He was a charter member of the
Arion Singing Society, one of the largest
and most influential German organizations
in the city, and was President of the
Arion's Friday Night Bowling Club. At
one time he was School Director during
ex-Mayor Wanser's administration, but
resigned it on account of the pressure of
business. Mr.. Meh1 was an uncle of
John Mehl, Jr., a member of the cityss
Board of Tax Appeals. The funeral will
take place from his late residence to-
morrow afternoon.

AFTER nIRB, DUST.
Shocking Condition of Mont
gomery St. May Cause a
Crop Of Lawsuits.

Chief Engineer Van Keuren will today
recommend to the Street and Water
Board that the city proceed at once with
the Improvement of Montgomery street.
The Sheridan and Shea Co., to whom the
contract was awarded, have shown no
disposition to complete the work.
In fact. Engineer Van Keuren is not
particularly anxious to ave Sheridan and
a desire to depart from the, specifica-
lions. The firms bondsmen will be held
responsible for the payment of all ex-
pense incurred by the city in completing
the Job. Law suits are expected, put
the Street and Water Commissioners say
they have no fear that Sheridan and Shea
will be beaten.
While the work is at a ~standstil, busi-
ness men along the line of the improve
ment are suffering. All last winter paw
ing block were piled up on the side
walks. A complaint was made and the
blocks were taken away. No sooner mad
they disappeared than work on the "
started. Immediately after that, the
Hudson Telephone Company tore up the
streets in order to lay its conduits. Some
of the paving blocks ave now been
thrown in roughly and covered with about
three inches of dirt. Others lie along
the northern sidewalk. The dirt has dried
and with every gust of WING the pedes-
TRANS are treated to a sand STERN on a
small scale. Merchants are compelled to
keep their window and doors tightly
closed. Even that ~precaution does not
prevent the dust from working its way in.
dealers and tailors are COM
planning that their goods are being de-
stroyed.
1t is not unlikely that the city will be
made defendant in suits for damages if
something is not done at once to improve
the situation.
