The board OF regents OF the terri.
torial university met at Norman las:
week. The financial muddle created
by the provisions Of Council Bill No. 2
10 no clearer than before the meeting
Of :hc board. Regent Blake, however,
took the posiiio that tho annual tax
levy for university purposes coustitu.
ted In itself an appropriation, and that
under the decision Of the supreme
court warrants TO meet the current ex.
penses OF the university might be
drawh against the university fund rs
the taxes were paid into the territorial
treasury, notwithstanding the seem
ingly stringent inhibition implied by
Council Bill No. Q. In the reorganiza-
tion Of the board Regent Blakc was
elected president, which places him In
u position to test the soundness Of his
argument II has been tho rule for
the president and secretary OF the
board TO issue and sign the orders to
pay the expenses OF the university,
these orders being directed 10 the ter.
ritorial treasurer, consequently they
will be equally resp ,nsiblc aud subject
TO u fine II the much discussed bill Is to
be regarded Ms the law of the TERRITORY.
II does not seem possible, though, that
the controversy can be settled without
q judicial determination OF the courts,
und to This end test case In likely to
be instituted at AN early date, arising
out Of the refusal Of Treasurer Thon,p-
son to register the university warrants
which will then be followed with u
mandamus proceeding. In the reor-
ganization OF the board Regent c. d.
Blake OF FL Reno was elected presi-
dent; G. L. Botsford OF Norman secre-
tary. The new executive committee
consists OF Governor Barnes. President
Boyd and Regent King OF Waulomis.
The committee on buildings aud

ECCENTRIC BRITISH WAGERs.
Bets Made on the Weather and the
Doing of Ridiculous Things.


Perhaps the most marked characteristic
Of the Britoa is his fondness for wagering,
is amply demonstrated at EPSON each
year. But horse racing is not the only ex-
cuse afforded the Britisher to exercise his
mania for betting.
Quite an astonishing number of annual
occurrences are made the subject of wager
ing. Years ago, before the Yagaries of the
weather had brought the four seasons into
discredit, wagering that snow would be
found on the ground on Christmas morning
was popular. Even now, when the weather
behaves with sublime Indifference 20 the
time of year wagers are still made as to
its raining forty days IL St. Swithins be
wet.
One enthusiastic supporter Of this hoary
legend a lew years since wagered all he
possessed on one wet anniversary that
there would be rain every day during the
prescribed period. 1t did rain twenty-five
days, but the twenty-third ruined him.
A well-known bookmaker who lays him
self out for what he calls fancy wager
ing" has stated that the amount of money
which was wtgered on the late Hon. W f.
Gladstone reaching the age of ninety was
simply enormous. He also says that, being
believer in the unexpected Happening in
politics. he accepted at the time of the
home rule split in the liberal party three
wagers of $1,000 10 f1,Oo0 each that Mr.
Chamberlain would one day be prime min
lister of England. The stakes are deposited
in a bank under a deed which provides for
the drawing of the interest till 1904, the
date when the wager expires.
Costume balls at Covent Garden have led
to some curious wagering. In accordance
with the terms of one last year a person
presented himself for admittauce dressed
like a woman on one side and a negro on
the other. One side of his face was white
rouged and powdered, the other BACKED,
The lady half wore a beautiful costume
the other being the attire of a street negro
minstrel.
During the building of the Tower bridge
one OF the workingmen wage-ed 10 cook
big pudding ten feet under the surface of
the Thames. Needless to say. so impossible
a feat led TO a deal of money being laid
that he couldn't. On the appointed day the
pudding was tied I'm a sack and sunk TO the
required depth, the assembled crowd being
greatly amused with the careful manner in
which the performer handled the sack
At the end of three hours the pudding
was drawn to the surface, and was found
to be thoroughly cooked, the only fault
being that ii a little too well done.
The sack was half full of lime.

A Novel Ride,
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
THE most novel ride I ever experienced"
said Count Cassini, Russian ambassador to
the United States, at the Waldorf-Astoria
last night, was a journey of about $500
miles through Mongolia In October and No.
vember, 1897, just after 1 closed my term
as ambassador at Picking. I had decided
to travel overland through China and Rus
STA to St. Petersburg, a distance of 5000 or
10000 miles Two thousand five hundred
miles of this was through Mongolia, and
the Chinese officials planned my journey.
They provided sixty changes of horses. and
at each changing point they had sixty
horses, making in all 5000 for my personal
use. AT the eno of each portion of the route
elaborate preparations were made for my
entertainment. The roads of Mongolia are
excellent, and We made remarkably quick
time TO the Russian frontier Ny hardest
experience was in crossing the River Oby,
one of the great rivers of Siberia. The
thermometer marked so degrees below zero,
and the river was full of floating ice.
shudder yet at the thought of that river
trip. l don't know how we ever got across,
for / thought l should die with the cold.
I afterward learned that October and No
vember were the worst months in the year
to make such trip"

the part of the natives A number of pill
able fish bones three or four inches in
length, sharpened at each end and bent in
the form of hairpins, are secreted in pieces
of fat and scattered outside of the WOLF
infested village. The wolves swallow these
loaded bits of fat, when pressed by hun
ger, without stopping TO masticate them,
and so take into their stomachs the unbrok-
en- curved fish bones When the heat OF the
stomach melts the fat the bones spring
back into their original shape, transfix the
animals internally, and generally cause
death. This rather cruel method of exter-
mination is also practiced In the case of
predatory bears.
