Asa Packer. the founder of the former,
left its endowment in securities of the
Lehigh Valley railroad. while Johns
/ Hopkins founded his institution with

The business difficulties of the two

compelled to close it's doors except for
an appropriation from the state OF
Pennsylvania, and both colleges have
! found themselves seriously hampered
: by the sharp fluctuations in the earning
capacity of their funds.
Municipal bonds have been a favorite
! form OF investment with colleges for
| the reason that they are generally safe
and return a fair rate of interest. Many
of the New England colleges have their
funds invested in this manner.
Yale's funds are so profftably invest
ed that with a productive capital only
half that of Columbia she has an in
come almost as large, both institu-
tons receiving about three-quarters of
million a year.
Cornell is looked upon as having been
especially we'll managed. About $4,000
000 of her holdings came from gifts.
The remainder was derived from the
profits of the land granted to her un-
der the terms of the Morrill, act The
policy of CornelPS manag gers has been
to invest her funds in municipal bonds
and western farm mortgages. One of
the curiosities of college financiering is
the fact that the good times of the past
two years has injured the university.
The farmers of Kansas and other west
ern states have paid their per cent
mortgages instead Of renewing them,
and the university was compelled to re-
invest at a much lower rate of interest.
Many of the colleges own city real es-
tate, having received gifts in that form,
but the majority Of college endowments
are in bonds of one sort or another

colleges is the University of Texas

the noon train yesterday and tele-
graphed to his home folks last even
ing that he recognized the man as
the barber who had been ia his shop
the day of the theft and that he also
recognized the plumber which he
still had in his possession. He had
disposed OF some of the barbeT's o0ls
but still had seven razors, two strops,
two pairs of scissors and pair OF

made in Missouri there Will he II

will be panied and surprised to learn
from the following accounts In the
X. c, Journal of this morning that
that company proposes 20 furnish
gas to all the country north OF here,
including Kansas City. Here's hopin'
the company may find enough gas to
do what it plans, but in the mean-
time rememb Der that lola has her gas,
and the men who control this field
have $50, 900, 600 to keep it here. So

Gas Com 9any, which was recently
charted for the purpose OF piping gas
from lola, Kans., to different points
in the state. carry, Kansas City and n
number of important towns along the
line from lola Will oe supplied with
natural gas within the next five or six
months. Already the company has
men at work in different places along
the proposed line arranging for fran
chises to furnish towns with gas, and
contracts have already been closed
with several large manufactures in
Armourdale to supply them with gas
tor all purposes.
|. y. Mortified, an agent Tor the
company, has been at work in Argen-
tine for "a number of days and has in
terested Mayor Green and mum Der
of the mem beIs Of the council in his
scheme. He has also talked with A
Il. Meyer, president ef the Kansas
City smelling and Refining Company
which corporation owns the mann
moth smelter in Argentine, and 1t is
asserted that contract will be en-
tered into with the SINE ter company
and the gas people to furnish the
former with natural gas to be used,
both for heating and lighting pur-
poses. There are several large
smeters at lola which are operated,
az far as fuel is concerned, exclusively
with natural gas In fact the great
supply of gas at that point was the
sole inducement for the smelters To-
eating there. The smelter at lola
are given all the gas they can con-
sumo free of charge, and it is claimed
that the heat produced by the gas is
much more satisfactory than that
produced by coal. The lola concern
will find many patrons in the Silver
city.
Argentine has no gas supply of any
kind at present and its people will
gladly welcome natural gas or the
manufactured product. Mr.. Merrl-
field will appear before the next
meeting of the city council of ArgeD-
tine and explain the plans of his COM
pany. He Will also ask for a fran
chise in the Silver CITY. He proposes
to furnish natural gas for rs cents pei
900 feet, which is 25 cents less than
the price charged for manufactured
gas in Kansas City.
He stated that the company hao
men in all the towns along the line
making contracts and estimates OF
about how much gas would be useC
In order to know just what size pip'
to lay. Should all OF the large pack
ing houses and other factories II
Armourdale and the bottoms decid,
to use the natural product the com
pauy will doubtless be forced to la!
