to meet all the demands of the serv-

OBJECT TODR. HARPER'S PLAN
Poles at Chicago Fear a Russian Pro-
fessor in: University VIII Not
Do Them Justice.

Chicago Poles declare they are not OPP
posed to the teaching and study of the
Russian language and literature at
the University of Chicago or at any
other place, but that they are indig-
nant oyer the plan of President Harper
to maintain a chair of Russian as a
typical .Slavonian chair and to study
Polish literature as Slavonic literature
through Russian medium. They say
that the lectures on Russian, Polish
and Bohemian literature from q chair
more or less controlled and guided by
the wishes of the Russian government
will be misleading to American stu
dents and injurious to the Polish peo-
ple.a ,<a-. |
Prof. Boleslaus Klarkowski said:
IF they will not say anything a bout
Polish literature in their Russian. lee
lures, and if they put Russian as Rus
sian and not as anything else, then
we have nothing. to say. The study Of
Slavonic language and literature
through a Russian medium is an injus-
stice to all Slavonians. The study Of the
Polish language and literature through
a Russian chair controlled for and BY
interests Of the Russian government is
an insult to the Polish people and de-
hberate acknowledgment Of Russia s
claims to Poland. .

AN ENOCH ARDEN CASE.
suDposedly Dead Husband Returns to
"&f HIS. Family After Absence :. ..
i59 cE1&91 II rofa2S Yearssuta es~,;a : =.

Through the filing of a. bill, in
chancery for the annuIment of a mar
riage ,sa case like, andt yet very unlike,
tdlat2of 5Enoch Arden, ,&was revealed IN
Orange, Md, the eother.day.i Mrs. Eliz-
abeth; A. Fesdmon asks fora ,1issolu-
tionsiof the: ties which bind her to
Joseph Festimon. They:have been mar
ried18 years, but.for the last four years
have not lived together. $50 -,
The cause for the suit for the annul-
ment of the marriage is the eappearance
on the scene of Mrs. Festimon's first
husband, Alfred T. Brown, long
mourned as dead! Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
were married in Camden in 1860 and
soon aftermoved to Orange. The union
was apparently q happy one, and they
had a daughter Mise Laura Brown,
who5lives now b her mother.
Early ii 1872 Brown disappeared,
and after six years his wife was !. in
formed that.he.had died Of q fever.con-
tracted in the South African jungles.
She accepted the situation and, after
waiting four years, was marriedsto Mr.
Festimon in 1852. ss.S... -.@ .>..
In the meantime the supposed dead
man had drifted around the world un-
til at last he thought he would come
home. Accordingly, on June 26, he ap-
peared at the Festimon home. After
recovering from her surprise Mrs. Fes-
timon, in answer to Browns announce
ment that he had come back to spend
the rest Of his days with the family, in
formed him that inasmuch as he had
deserted her and his children when they
most needed support he need expect no
welcome.

BIBLICAL COMPARISON
Addressso ON Civil EnsIi +
ss lneerins.

One of the most interesting addresses
delivered before the recent conYention
Tof the American societ = of Civil En-.
,gineers in Lond on was that of the pres
Iident, John Find1ey Wallace, who is
|also vice president Of the Illinois Cen
trals system. Among other things Mr..
Wallace said: $500: 8 & g s.
The profession Of civil gineering,
as we know it, is child of the nine
teenth century. The conception Of
that child, however. occurred with the
earliest dawn Of human history.
Among the earlier en- ngineers we find
mention ofttTubal- Cain, who followed
the mechanical branch Of the profes-
sion; Noah. who devoted his attention
to shipbuilding Joseph, who achieved
great success IN the construc ton Of
grain warehouses. and irrigation
works; the unknown Fgyy ptian. who
conceived, designed and constructed
the pyramids and in whose honor, for
all we know, the celebrated figure Of
the sphynx may have been erected;
Moses, who devoted his energies and
lifetime to the. transporta tt on of ma
tion from one section of the globe to
another, also giving some attention to
hydraulics, and Joshua, who followed
a similar line of work and also utilized
his engineering talents in the over
throw Of Jericho by meansTof the the
ory of rhythmic oscillation S>.s,>S ~,
Mr.. Wallace takes lofty view Of the
profession Of civil engin eering, saying
the work Of its graduates should in

While it has not been heralded vide

ing in search of a cool place. He was
surprised to hear the strains Of a rag
time march, to the rhythm of which a
dozen girls were marching up and down
the floor under the tutelage of an in
structor.
The senior held his peace and also his
breath for fear of discovery. The fair
students proved themselves apt in all
the figures taught men in similar drills.
Hopping, skipping. and even aeittle of
kicking were practiced. Just as work
on the parallel bars was begun the
senior was discovered. Instead Of
squeaks and cries of alarm, the girls
regarded the senior with complacency.
