UNIVERSITY SALARIES.

ERETOFORE strikes for higher pay and
| shorter hours have been confined to handi-
craftsmen and laborers. Literary workers.
teachers professors lawyers and doctors have never
struck. True, some of these classes fix the
which their services may be had. but law and medical
societies have never been known to expel member
for taking less getting than the regular scale
Now there really appears to be strike among
university professors and presidents. There have
been three conspicuous presidential vacancies to fill
in this country, Yale, Iowa and California, and the
official boards of the institutions concerned have
pursued the elusive presidential timber over thorny
path AS rule State universities, depending upon
political control and shaken by every party change
are treated with marked parsimony. Those which had
the Federal endowment do not derive from it the
revenue it should have yielded The lands given to
these institutions should have been leased. and not
sold But the anxiety OF educators for higher train
ing, and the pride of the people in all things con
ducive of culture, compelled the sale Of the lands in
order to make a foundation and have university as
quickly as possible
The i'll effects were not Immediately felt Money

funds were loanabe at 10 per cent The interest de-
rived was not an accretion to the original fund Had
States been patient and cherished their endowments
they would have in repaired the harm done
by the untimely sale OF lands for average OF five
dollars per acre ldl WOuQ now DTlng an average OF
fifty dollars But the interest was in no case added
to the principal. and the demands upon these
schools have increased nearly all have been severely
pinched to keep up appearances. Their only
course is to State Legislatures for more money and
there they find themselves herded with State fairs
appropriations for soldiers monuments and medals,
the demands of penal and eeemosynary institutions
and the many other trembling victims OF partisan
promises to be economical with the taxpayers money
Experience has shown it to be easier to snub State
university than State prison. The mild-mannered
professors whose wives struggle along in made-oyer
garments and hover in insufficient shelter their brood

scholars to compel advance in presidential and

THE ORPHEUW,

There is no lodging the fact that the
lie prefer hOrseplay of the broadest kind
to the cleverest and most delightful of
humor. Witness in proof of this asser-
ton the wild applause and unstinted mer-
riment that greet the ear when, in a
sketch called "a Wise Guy Mr.. Cock
Eye Hogan tears a dress suit from the
body of a dumb English lord and mfsfits
it to his own ample person, creating a
blouse effect, with his shirt to bridge the
gap where waistcoat ends and trousers
should begin, when he jumps over a piano
in pursuit of a meal and swallows it in
a single gulp; when he brings a large red
palm with sounding whack down upon
the plump decollete shoulders of Miss
jeanette Film Flam; when Lord Get-the-
Coin, who has hard work to get his
clothes, attracts celery to every feature
in his physiognomy, much as a magnet
attracts iron filings; when champagne
poured upon his head develops into a
covering lather and tufts into his unfor-
tunate mouth.
The conversation Is not funny-not even
interesting-bu if this is what makes
people laugh, by all means give them
their fill of it We can i'll afford to cut off
what our opinion may be. And we all do

ANXIOUS LOVERS
SEPARATED BY
QUARAN TINE
j. Strauss Longs to
Claim His Bride.

julius Strauss, a wealthy merchant Of
Yokohama one of the detained quaran-
tined passengers of the Nippon Maru,
feels that fate has dealt more harshly with
him than with his fellOw-travelers. Mr..
Strauss came here to claim his bride,
and instead of basking in the charming
lady's smiles and receiving congratula-
tions from friends, he spends his days in
pacing the shores of Angel Island watch
ing for the tug Caroline. The young lady
who is to make Julius Strauss the hap
piest of men is Miss Nellie Meyer, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Moritz Meyer of 2114
Pacific avenue. Miss Meyer has done
what she could to lessen the awfulness Of
her lovers captivity, and each day. prop
erlY chaperoned, sails by on the tug Caro-
line and shakes "a day-day' to the man
who spends the better part of the after
noon waiting for that bright vision and
tender greeting.
II Mr.. Strauss had not been so anxious
to reach the home and presence of his
sweetheart the engagement reception
which was 10 have occurred last Sunday
would not of necessity have been post
poned. The original intention of the
Yokohama groom was TO come up on the
Rio Janeiro, but when he discovered that
by sailing on the Nippon Maru he gained
two days he altered his plans. The Rio
Janeiro came through all right and her
passengers have gone their several ways.
Alack and alas, haste made waste and
seeking to gain two days the impatient
lover has lost two weeks.
Although Mr.. Strauss has told his fel-
passengers that the sole and only pur-
pose of his visit to this city was to claim
bride. the fianCee has as yet made no
announcement of their engagement. Her
friends know that she has given her
heart and her promise to the Yokohama
merchant. but as no engagement has been
formally announced the good wishes they
are so anxious to shower upon her have
of necessity. been held in allegiance. As
soon, though, as the Nippon Maru pas
sengers are allowed to land the betrothal
will at once be announced and the we'd
ding day. which will shortly follow be
set. Miss Meyer is a very beautiful girl,
charming. and accomplished and a great
favOrite in her select circle She is a
native of New York and has been edu-
Gated in the Empire City though for the
past twelve years her family have made
their home in this city.
Mr.. Strauss is an Englishman, who has
settled in the land of the Mikado, and met
Miss Meyer last year when he passed
through this city on his way to his ORR
entail home. 1t was a case of love at first
sight. Mr.. Strauss remained in this city
but four days. When he sailed Miss
Meyer had promised to be his wife.
