A G. A. r. COLLEGE.
Sons of Veterans Plan an Educational
Memorial

Memorial
Chicago, Aug. 31-With assets and
pledges amounting to upwards of $780,
600, the Sons of Veterans are making
active preparations to begin work on
national college, which is to be dedicated
to the Grand Army of the Republic and
in commemoration of the men and Wo-
men OF civil war times. The money and
pledges were secured after one year
actual work, but four years of planning
preceded the vigorous campaign result
ing in the collection.
While the money has been raised for
the erection of the buildings and the
endowment of the institution, the loca-
ton has not been selected. Washington,
Mason City, Iowa and Milwaukee are
nual encampment of the Sons of Vet
Grams in Syracuse, N. Y, September l3,
the matter will be settled.
The committee that has had the col.
lection of funds and the arrangement OF
details in hand during the past year is
composed of A L. Sortor, Jr., Mason
City, Iowa; George e. Cox, Hartford,
Conn; w. T. Church, Chicago; II. e.
Morris. Redield, s. d. The committee
met with far greater success in its cam
paign than was believed possible, for it
felt that if 100000 were raised before
the present c. A R. encampment IL
would be doing well; as it is, the com
mittee has in its hands as assets OF the
national military college just five times
that amount.
William T. Church, member of the
committee, said that the movement had
Outstripped the intention of the founders
to such an extent that the college idea
was to be abandoned and a university
founded instead.
THE university will be unique among
educational institutions" said Mr..
Church. In addition to the regular
scientific and classical courses, we have
a chair especially for the teaching OF
American history. another for patriotic
courses and a third for military instruc-
tion- None of these courses will in the
least overshadow the regular courses of
the institution, but the patriotic spirit
will dominate all Of the different depart
ments.''

GIVE AWAY STREETS.
Council Shows Disposition to
Present Land to Mr.. Wolff.

Bennett r. Wheeler, receiver of the In
vestment Trust company, which owns
the Bird Canning factory property at
the foot of Monroe street, has prepared
a petition to be presented to the city
council requesting that 25 feet of Monroe
street for a distance of $50 feet be va
Gated for the benefit of the canning fac
tory.
A resolution was railroaded through
the council granting Charles Wolff
similar privilege but the ordinance va
eating the street has not yet been adopt
ed.
Mr.. Wheeler said in discussing the
proposed vacation: The street is 100
feet wide now and If IS is vacated for
Mr.. Wolff and 25 feet for me it viii still
leave so feet which, suppose is little
enough.
IF the council is ready to give Mr.
Wolff the land for nothing, there is sure
ly no reason why we should not be treat
ed the same, because we have good
business on the street
There has been some talk of building
q bridge across the river on Monroe
street and 100 feet would not be too wide
for the street them
The council is establishing q danger
Gus precedent by vacating streets for the
benefit of individuals Mr. Wolff has a
large and growing institution but that is
no reason why the city council should
present him with the street. This pro-
posed strip of land is % feet by about
200 and it is certainly worth something
Wolff should be treated like other peo-

are the principal quotations on Russell
Sage's new horse, which, at the latest re-
ports, was trying to kick down the stable
at his owners country residence, Law

The horse was a beauty when Mr.. Sage

1t is his one extravaganza While he
makes a straw hat last twenty years, and
eats half apple for luncheon, saving
the other half for the next day, he will
pay hundreds of dollars for something
for his stable
He's a good locker said Mr.. Sage,
when the horse Placid came to him. I'll

almost impossible to harness him, and
when he was hitched up it was very near

The price of the horse is falling rapidly.

by them, but he is long of the horse
Placid, and there are no lambs in Law

$34S.
Long Island farmers are warned against

SULTAN WILL PAY.
Uncle Sans Threat TO Send Warships
Brings Favorable Reply.

Uncle Sans Threat TO Send warships
Brings Favorable Reply.
The Porte has replied to the American
demand for payment of the SOC, 200 claim
ed as compensation for damages to
American property during the Armenian
massacres. The Sultan agrees to pay
the Americans under the same conditions
as apply to citizens of other foreign
states who sustained losses in the same
uprisngs. The Sultan breads an Ameri-
can naval demonstration in the Mediter-
ranean, and his worry over the indemnity
complication has had the effect of leading
him to abandon the arbitrary raising of
customs duties. Whereas the ambassa-
dors hitherto have lodged with his ma
jesty four Intellectual protests, now he
consents to negotiate the matter.
The representatives of the other great
powers at Constantinople watch the issue
of the Turco-American difficulty with
great interest, correspondents say, for IL
the United States succeeds in getting a
settlement from this bad debtor the other
powers will demand the immediate ad-
justment of their claims. 1t is claimed
by foreign correspondents that the Amer
lean Government actually threatened to
send the Turkish minister, Ali Ferrouh
Bey, his passports unless the matter is
quickly cleared up.
