THE PARIS COMMISSION.
Mrs. Frye Resents am Ignorant and
Boorish Attack Upon Them.

The Lewiston journal prints an open
letter addressed by Mrs William p. Frye
to Prof. David Starr Jordan in reply to
his recent lecture to the students of took
ton, Cal. High school on 1.-The Higher
Education"
Professor Jordan attacked the admins.
iration and Its policy and told u story of
ono of the peace commissioners going to
banquet in Paris and expectorating
tobacco juice on the floor. In Mrs. Frys's
letter, she says:
Evidently you lack not elf-conceit,
but most certainly do discretion in
speech. You propose to address young
men OH 1.-The Higher Education" and
then devote IA portion of your time TO a
| senseless vuglar story which had not even
the merit Of freshness, or the appearance
OF truth. There was probably not enc of
your audience so stupid as to accept for a
fact your idiatic fiction.
| Further along she says:
"But what intsrests me most in your
extraordinary harangue is your attack on
our peace commissioners in which you
display such profound ignorance as to
your suggestion that 1T would be better
to send men aboard who are familiar with
the usages Of good society," We're you
| ignorant of the fact that one has been
secretary of state, is now circuit judge,
that one has been Senator for two
terms, the chairman OF the com mittee on
foreign relations, one OF the most accom-
plished lawyers in the Northwest and
finished scholar; that one has been in the
House and Senate twenty nine years; ;
that one has been Senator two terms and
is now circuit judge. a gentleman by
birth and breeding; that one was proprie-
tor and editor of the New York Tribune,
has served us admirably as minister to
France; that all were graduates Of our
colleges; that all had vastly greater eI-
periencs in polite society and familiarity
with social ethics than you could
dream or Not one of these gen ;lemen
chewed tobacco: not one Of them attended
a banquet while abroad. Now do you not
think that You han better apologize TO
your students for your gross and untruth-
ful statements. and redeem, at least TO
that extsnt, your reputation as gentle
man and a scholar"

four hundred and sixty dollars for boiler
repairs.) While such repairs were being
made q good opportunity was had for ex-
animation Of stay bolts. Many were found
broken and replaced, but the rusted con-
dition OF many of those found broken
after the explosion indicates that they
must have been broken for some time,
and IL Is more than possible, quite
probable they were broken before the en-
CINE went to the shop for aforesaid re-
pairs.

to see that all boilers are in safe con-
ditiou, believes that the exercise OF the
degree Of caution and Skill reasonably to

have prevented said explosion.

that James A. Bedford and John f..

day Of April, A. d., 1899, by reason Of
the explosion OF the roller of u locomotive
