John was dumfounded. He threw an arm

face turned pale. and away he started with
the lawyer for Trenton.
Arrived In the State capital Johnnie was
easily convinced by a letter in Mr.. Hayes
possession that the good news was true.
and he remained in Trenton until yester-
day afternoon. when he returned to the
Princeton campus for "a few hours to tell
his former patrons ofS his good luck and
show his new clothes and diamond shirt

John Hamilton was born twenty-one
years ago in New York city. While mere
tot he was on the streets selling papers.
He remained at this trade until he was
fourteen. when his parents moved to Pater-

Johnnie came to Princeton to live with his
grandfather William T. Potter. a poor

came infirm. and Johnnie was forced to
support him.
At first he had the agency for single

half a dozen urchins for the college trade.
Gradually, however, he won the exclusive
patronage of the undergraduates by MS
most businesslike methods and week ago
he held the agencies for nearly all the New
York and Philadelphia papers.

CLEVELAND MAY TEACH AGAIN.
will Lecture on Politics to Students
of Princeton.

Princeton. n. j., April 29.-The an
nouncement of gift of 800. 900 to found q
chair of politics in Princeton University
has caused much speculation as to the in
cumbent. 1t is rumored that when the
board Of trustees of the university meets in
June the professorship will be offered to
ex-President Grover Cleveland. 1t is be-
lieved Mr.. Cleveland was largely influential
in securing the liberal endowment.
Mr.. Cleveland said yesterday evening
that no offer had yet been made to him
and he could say nothing before receiving
formal notice from the trustees. The
course. in his opinion, would be popular
one, and such a one as should be estab-
lished in all the large universities.
President Patton is absent from Prince
ton, but as yet has given no assurance as
to who will fill the chair.

SANE PERSONS IN AsYLUMs.
A wOman's Charges Against n Con-
nccticut Institution.

Hartford, Conn, April Eff all the
sane persons now confined in the Connecti-
cut Hospital for the Insane in Middetown
were set free there would be no need OF
introducing bills in the legislature asking
for appropriations to enlarge the accommo-
dations there"
This startling statement was made yes
terday by Mrs. A. S. McGee who was once
widely known in this city as president OF
the women's Christian Temperance I'm
ion. She was for a time confined in the
Middletown Institution. and she now says
that her great mission in life is to arouse
public interest in order that sane men
and women confined in the hospital as in
sane may receive their liberty and those
responsible for placing them there be pun
ished.
Mrs. MCGEE will appear before the legis-
lative committee on humane institutions
to protest against granting an apropria-
tion for enlarging the hospital. She will
base her protest not only upon her own
experience, but also upon that OF others
with whom she was associated while in the
hospital. She says she will produce letters
from several eminent physicians of Mid
dletown and Meriden to show that she is
not insane. She will also present a petition
other cities. corroborating the medical di
agnosis of her mental condition.
The woman was sent to Middletown
about two years ago on evidence SUBMITTED
before the proper tribunal. She owned
considerable property. which is now in the
hands of a conservator. She proposes. she
says. to get control Of her estate again.
Yesterday she went to an attorney and
asked that proceedings be commenced for
the removal of the CONSERVATION. She was
informed that this could be done when she
had procured satisfactory medical proof
that she was Of sound mind.
Then she showed the letters from the
medical experts in MiddletOwn and Meri-
den. They are said to be strongly favora-
BILE to Mrs. MCGEE. some. 1t is said. going
SO far as to say that she never should
have been sent to an institution.
Mrs. MCGEE gained nOtoriety few years
ago as the result of her attempt to reform
a man named Kerr. a dipsomaniac.
Kerr was sent to an institution in this
city to be treated. but as his commitment
was not strictly legal he was set free,
and has never been heard Of since. About
this time Mrs. McGee's relatives declared
that she was engaged in innumerable wild
business schemes. and these together with
the Kerr incident, were the basis Of the
action, which finally resulted in her being
sent to Middletown.
She was released at the expiration Of ten
weeks, and was pronounced perfectly sane.
She says in an interview that she has
passed through a terrible ordeal. and that
she will never rest until she has made
complete exposure of the State Hospital.
