fessor of Greek The resignation was mail
ed to DR.. Whitman, the president of the
university, While he was absent from the
city on his summer vacation, and was not
received until his return to the city dur
ing the present week. The reason assign

the state of his health.
While the presidentfof the university
and the officers recognize the force of this
and regretfuliy acknowledge that they must
comply WI the request and release the
venerable professor from the duties which
have become too great load at his time
of life, the announcement that he Is to
withdraw from 3adbtye connection with the
college, where he has been closely identi-
fed for more than fifty years, is cause
of genuine 4egrets to all those who have
been associated With him. DR.. Huntingt on

Under date of July % Consul Monaghan
of Chemnitz sends the following:
Artificial paving stones are being sue
cessfully produced in this empire. The de-
mand, in large cities, is so great and
the expense attached to their production
under former methods is SO large that any
improvement on the older systems, whether
In saving money or In producing a better
stone. will be welcomed by almost all coun-
tries. The newest process here is to mix
coal tar with sulphur and warm thor
oughly; to the resulting semi-liquid mass
chlorate of lime (chlorkalk) is added. After
cooling, the mass is broken into small
pieces and mixed with glass or blast-fur-
mace glass Stag (hofenglasschaum). This
powder is then subjected to a pressure Of
200 atmospheres and reduced to the form
or forms wanted. The specific weight of
these stones is %; the resistance against
crushing Is 143 Kilograms 315 pounds to
the square centimeter Q512 square inches).
The resistance to wear and tear in use is
fully half as great that of Swedish gran
lite. Thus it commends itself through dur
ability equal to that of many stone roads,
resistance to changes Of temperature,
roughness of surface-giving horses a good
foothold-and finally non-transmission Of

opening of the afternoon session he was
called out by John w. Ella of the civic fed
Grafton and DR.. Albert Shaw of New York.
They engaged him in earnest converse ton
over the priority issue. The pow-wow
terminated with the adjournment of the
trio to a long distance telephone station
and connection with Lincoln. Neb., was
promptly secured.
Mr. E'a did the talking. He told Mr..
Bryan that Mr.. Cochran wanted to know
his views about their joint appearance. In
asmuch as the committee had decided to
play" them at the same time Mr. Ella
said it was the Tammanyites desire to
speak last Mr. Bryan said that was his
sentiment. and Mr. Fla was left in little
doubt that the Nebraskans wish was dam
gerousy near an ultimatum. Then Mr.
Cochran assumed the magnanimous, said
he would defer to Mr.. Bryans wishes, and
would be governed by the committees de-
cison. The official program as finally ar
ranged and given out announces that the
Tammany orator will be heard before the
democratic leader from Nebraska Is given
the floor.

COST OF FOOD AT MANILA.
The Acting Comm issary General Gives
Some of the Prices.

Acting Commissary General Weston says
that the soldier of the Colorado regiment
who found SO much to criticise at Manila
was evidently misinformad about the exor-
bitant prices which were being paid for
supplies In the Philippines. Sugar is bought
about 40 per cent cheaper than in the
United States, rice 80 per cent cheaper and
a considerable reduction is found in the
prices Of beef purchased In Australia ard
the prevailing prices in Chicago. The gov
eminent saves transportation on these ar
ticles, which are part Of the regular ratf N
in the army.
AS to other articles, which are part of the
commissary stores. bought by the depart
ment and sold to the officers and men at
cost price, there is no possibility of loss to
the government upon them. Many of these
stores cheaper in Manila than in the
United States This is especially true of
cigars, apollinarts water, blackberry Jam
and such other articles as are kept in the
commissary stores for sale to the troops.
The commissary department does not pur-
chase wines except for the hospitals. These
are bought upon the recommendation of
the surgeons and the money for them
comes out of the 10 cents day allowed to
each soldier in the hospital In lieu of the
regular ratiCn.

ed to the Campaign.
The Importance attached to the Ohio cam
paign this year is manifested by the letter
of the Secretary of State relative TO that
campaign and by the purpose to have Post
master General Smith and perhaps other
members of the cabinet take the stump
The friends Of the administration fully
aware that opposition to McKinley's re-
nomination is ready TO spring up should the
republicans have a setback in Ohio this
fall. statement that very large number
of badges bearing a picture of Reed for
1900 are being printed in New York has
been read with some interest here. and Ii is
realized that 1t is the present condition and
not a complacent disposition which keeps
opposition TO Mckinley's denomination
silent at this time.
The democrats. while not interested to
prevent the denomination of Mckinley, at
tach considerable Importance to making a
good showing in Ohio this fall, though it
cannot be said that men outside of the
state have much faith in Mclean being
able to secure the election.
1t is understood that w. J. Bryan has
been already booked for speeches in TWEEN
ty-fve places in the state and that the
state committee has received requests for
him from between seventy-five and eighty
places. 1t Is said that If he once gets into
the state he will find it difficult to get away
again. This Is in spite of the fact that it
is said to be the desire of Mclean to make
what is known in Ohio as ''gum-shoe
campaign"
Ex-senator Blackburn Of Kentucky who
Is in Washington, speaks confidently of the
prospects of success for the democratic
ticket In kentucky, but it Is sad that he is
democrats OF national reputation in the
campaign.

WHY THE Permit WAS REyoKED.
Military. Telegraph Along the Falls
Church Line; Had: Been Damaged.

Church Lime; Had. Been Damaged,
Captain Stevens Of the United States
volunteer signal corps. .cdmuanaing the
signal corps at Fart Mger. Va, reported to
the War Department several weeks ago
that about 250 yards eft the United States
telegraph and telephone line Leading from
Fort Myer tn Sheridan Point, Vathad been
damaged, distracted aud rendered useless
by the manager Of the Washington, Ar
ington and FAILS Church Railway Com
pany, said interference and destruction of
the line beginning on the reservation of
Fort Myer and extending about $50 yards
beyond toward Alexandria, Va, along the
county road.
The attention of the manager of the rail-
way company was called to the subject,
and he was informed that unless the mat
ter complained Of should be remedied at
once the department. would revoke all
licenses granting the company privileges
on the reservation, and take such further
action as might he deemed necessary to
protect the interests Of the United States
Under date Of August Ia. Maj. S. c. Mills,
inspector general, who had been ordered to
make an inspection Of the matter reported
the existing conditions, and the work nee
essary to restore the military telegraph
line to Its proper condition.
AS nothing in The, meantime had been
done by the railway company, to repair the
damages the Secretary Of War a few days
ago revoked the license granting the rail-
way company permission to extend its line
of tracks from the west gate Of the Airing
ton cemetery across the Fort Myer military
reservation, it being upon that line of the
railway company that the interference with
the military telegraph lines had occurred
1t IS now claimed by the company that
the damages have been repaired, and Nal
Mills who made the former inspection, has
been instructed to make another investiga-
ton, with view to determining whether
the military line has been fully restored to
Its proper condition, in which event the
railroad company will make application for
another permit. to take the place Of the
one revoked.
