GLAsGow's GAUDY FUNCTIONS.
The Story of the Founding of the
University.
(From the New York Tribune.


The comforting upon Sir Henry Irving of
an honorary degree by the University of
Glasgow and the ceremonial proceedings
which, as usual in such cases, marked that
occasion have drawn attention to the pc
culiarly gaudy character of the Glasgow
Universitys academical functions. At
other great seats of learning, however
brilliant the plumage of the "domini doc
torres and other members of high degree
your mere student, or undergraduate, must
wear gown or cloak of sober often rusty,
black. But at Glasgow the students are
still divided into "Togati' and "Non-To-
gati,'' and the students of hu-
manfty, Greek, logic, ethics, and natural
philosophy classes" must, according 10 the
university statutes. wear ''the ancient aca-
demical robe-a scarlet cloak"
owing. probably, to the anti-PapisticaI
tendencies of Glasgow, the authorities of
that university are not given to empha-
sizing the circumstance in its history
which the scarlet cloak really commence
rates. st. Andrews, the oldest university
in Scotland, was founded in 1411 by Bish-
op Henry Wardlaw, and on petition of
King James / and many great men of his
realm was sanctioned by bull OF Pope
Nicholas V two years later. Next in order
of antiquity comes Glasgow But no Scot
tish name is recorded as that of the foun-
der of this university. In fact, ii was not
founded by any Scot, but by this same
Pope Nicholas V. who issued his bull for
the establishment of ''studium generate"
at Glasgow in 1850. and endowed the same,
so far as 1t was endowed at all, out of the
funds of the church. 1t is to this fact
that the Presbyterian students of human
ity and the other ingenious arts at Glas-
gov owe their scarlet cIoaks." And the
origin of the university is unique, as is
the garb of its students. 1t is the only
surviving purely Papal foundation in the
British Isles.

of Saxe-Coburg Gotha. resided there for a
period. obtained an absolute divorce from
his wife, and married third time.
This evasion of the Austrian marriage
laws deprived Strauss of the Court favor
which he had enjoyed, and il seems certain
that in the strict legal sense his second
wife is his rightful widow, whereas his
third wife. for whom he has provided, had
no authentic claim on him The Austrian
laws of succession provide that wife can
never be disinherited. but has always
claim on at least one-third of the proper

New Creo.otins PLANT.

1t begins to look as If the new Indianap-
oils Creosoting Company is not going to
have its path through life strewn with
roses or with creosote either, for the time
being. There is every prospect for litigation
over the paving contracts awarded the COM
pany by the Board Of Works last week,
many of the city officials being of the o2n-
len that litigation is DOW unavoidable. The
Board Of Works. with Mayor Taggart and
City Engineer Jeup. held a conference yes
terday>morning with Allen w. Conduit, NJ.
NJ. Defrees and III. c. Adams, of the new
company, and discussed the state Of az
fairs at length. The company said that it
had made arrangements with Hetherington
& Berner to have a creosote plant ready
for operation at the end of six weeks time.
and that Ii also had received telegram
from big New York oil company offer
ing to supply the new concern with an"
quantity of creosote that il might want.
TIE members of the board replied that there
ance that the contracts awarded the COM
pany could be successfully carried out with
in the allotted time. as the city could not
afford TO have the streets torn up any
longer than Is absolutely necessary.
The mayor said that the board could not,
conscientiously. permit the new company
to begin the work Of constructing the pave
ments unless positively assured that the
work would be done in accordance with all
of the specifications and within the time
set by the board for its completion. The
city officials decided to carefully consider
the matter and TO wait until tomorrow be-
fore taking any action In regard TO 1t.

Lawson on the IL. League.

The Indiana-IIlinois League is very much
alive says Al Lawson. manager of the An
derson club. Every day or two there is
report in all the papers," said he. that the
league has busted but the clubs continue
to play every day. Every club in the league
rs now owned by stock company in each
town, and the best business men OF each
town are interested. All the reports that
the league is about to go under come from
man named Andy Lawson, who goes
around on my record, and many people
think am the one who has made the state
ments that the league is about to break up.
The fact is that every club. except Muncie
and Terre Haute, Is ahead OF the game so
far, and those two clubs are now owned by
stock companies. and they will undoubtedly
pick up. The attendance has been good and
the league was never in better condition
than IL is to-day. Andy Lawson was inter-
ested in the Muncie club, and since he quit
he has been breaking up the league and or
sanizing new clubs and a new league, but
always on paper. The constant publication
that the LII League is about to break up
hurts the attendance, and Ii is unjust TO the
clubs: because there is not a word of truth
in it,
