The Filipinos, realizing that the railroad

on both sides of the track at distance CT

stead the shorthand notes and memoir
anda taken by the secretary during the
sessions of the board; since these
notes were never read or approved by
the board they could in no sense be
called the minutes President Will was
ready Stepping TO his desk, he drew
from a green bag an armful of papers,
and promptly placed in the hands of
the prosecution the shorthand notes of
the first meeting at which he oficiated
as secretary-the famous meeting at
which the quorum was deliberately and
purpOsely broken by the flight of the
two Republican regents. This produced
a sensation. 4 recess was ordered, that
the prosecution might compare these
notes with the two sets of minutes. The
crowd of Republican attorneys and as
sistants plunged into the notes and
minutes Though page after page they
plOwed, but still nothing to reward their
search Chairman Lamb again called
to order, and Hessin opened up on Sec
rotary Will in regard TO the notes, but
without scoring a single point.
He demanded an explanation for the
recent copying of the minutes, and ii
was given to him as above He in
quired why the three leaves were cut
out and was told. He asked if the
minutes were withheld from public in
spection. and was told that being official
records they were carefully guarded; but
that at no time since the beginning OF
the present administration had there
been a day when anyone applying to
the legal custodian of the minutes,
namely. the president of the college,
could not inspect them to his hearts
content Weary and disheartened, the
prosecution abandoned the cold trail
leading to 'doctored minutes and scored
another fasco.
While the controversy was raging on
Thursday night as to whether the min
utes copied into the book were genuine,
since three leaves had been cut from
them, one Of the attorneys for the pros
ecution distracted the three leaves.

QUEER sECTS IN PARIS.

from the London Telegraph
Sects Of 'Neo-Pagans. of ZoroaStr1ans
and of other mysterious and occult re
Igfons'' have their representatives and
quarters in Paris, and one OF these me
days the inhabitants of this gay city
may, as 1t would appear, be treated to
the spectacle of the ceremonies with
which the rather eccentric people who
have a sneaking kindness for Isis, the
ancient Egyptian goddess, delight to
honor her memory. Some OF our an
tiquaries are recalling to mind the fact
that the old Gauls were somewhat given
to the worship of Isis. Enthusiasts even
argue that Paris is a corruption of Bar
Isis the vessel of Isis. A temple of Isis
is affirmed by those who profess to
know all about it, to have crowned the
summit of MOntmartre, and a statue OF
Isis was discovered once upon time in
the neighborhood of the Church of St
German des Pres. At any rate, it seems
that we are likely to witness some ex-
traordinary rites, including the famous
dance of the four elements" divided
