his is q total OF $3.50 gwen to Fair
n )unt- Every contributor named Is one
Of the faculty OF Paramount The sums
are given outright and in cash. There is
no surrender of salary or any like trans
action. The faculty gives this amount jdi-
rect for the good Of the institution they
love
The teachers out at Paramount probably
need the sum they have subscribed as
much as other citizens. but they are in a
position to realize how valuable TO an in
stitution permanent endowment is, to
realize what a power of good to the ra-
ton an educational institution firmly es-
tablished is. They probably did not ever
perform more patriotic act in their lives
This leaves $23,5c0 to be raised in Wich-
ita. Yesterday afternoon the executive
committee which will have the matter in
charge met and completed arrangements
for getting that sum together. The execu-
tive committee consists OF J. NJ. Knapp
R, L. Holmes. H. w. Darling. W. II.
Graves. C. @. Cohn. H. E. Thayer and
n. J. Morrison.
Paramount has had long struggle. It
is now ION its feet" But it needs what
every college needs, permanent income.
This can be obtained from an endowment
and 1t is proposed that Fairmount shall
have this, II Wichita will put up 10000
When that sum is raised the east will put
up $1,000.
The struggling colleges of this land
have produced great men. AS Rev. Cliff
ton said in his address Sunday. in the
days of her poverty and early obscurity
Dartmouth gave the country Daniel Web
eter and Rufus Cheats; in the days of her
obscurity Amherst gave Henry Ward
Beecher and Richard S. Showers; Olivet,
in Michigan, gave j. H. Barrows.
All Wichita is interested in Paramount
and while some Of the donors may have
to make some sacrifices to give literally
they should do It, following the noble
example set by the faculty.

Lemon Market in China.

geles Times. The market is at Can

San Francisco by the regular steam.
ers. 1t was a new experience to me
to talk with a man who is selling his
fruit regularly and profitably after
its having half-girdled the globe on
its way to the consumer. The grower
told me he received an average Of
three dollars box since the initial
shipment was made the first of last
March. Advices from the receiver of
these lemons at Canton state that
they are smoother. juicier and
thinner skinned than the italian fruit
received at Canton. They ferther
state that there was only one COM
Petitor in the market-an Italian
dealer. This indicates the undeyel-
oped condition of the oriental trade
and the ignorance of the market de-
mands of the Chinese ports.

Known In Am.r,cn

To Americans the lord chief Justice
sf England is usually but name. The
late Baron Russell of Killowen, how
ever, was almost as well known end
quite as sincerely respected in the
United States as in Great Britain. He
had visited this country twice. the
last time to deliver a most thoughtful
and suggestive address on interna-
tional law. Even before his elevation
10 the highest judicial office in Great
Britain, he had won universal recoV-
milton by the mastery skill with
which he had exposed the Piggott
forgeries in the London Times, and
Sindicated Parnell. the Irish home
rule leader. He represented Great
Britain in the Behring sea arbitra-
ton, was member of the Venezuela
tribunal, and on the death of Lord
HeFschell was chosen to succeed him
as president of the joint high com.
mission. These duties kept him in
close touch with American statesmen
and lawyers, whose confidence he won
and kept by his courtesy, fairminded-
ness and profound legal knowledge.
His death is loss TO international
comfy, and to the whole body of Eng
disappearing people.-Youth's Com

Modern Superstition.

In the West country lately a field of
standing barley was Overlooked" by a
crone who had long been supposed to
desire 70 add the field TO her own ad-
joining acres. When the owner of the
barley sent his men to cut it down the
cutter would not cut; then the horse
would not move. So he borrowed a
neighbours cutter. 1t fell TO pieces. It
was repaired. The neighbours horses
and men were put on and the barley
was cut down. These horses and men
had not been included in the overlook
ing" And this is seriously believed,
even by educated farmers of to-day, to
be due to occult infiuence.-London

No Government fin Chin,

There is no such thing in China as
government as we understand that
term. There is the outward form, but
it is entirely devoid of substance.
There are officials, but they lack pow
er, and even the imperious will of the
empress dowager cannot be impressed
on the people at large. The present
disturbance, if il is at least popular
uprising, indicates the helplesSness of
the central government TO govern; or
if il is at the most actually supported
by the authorities, then we see the Gu
rious spectacle of a government carry
ing on a war against the civilized world
in concert with the greater part of its
people and the whole Of it's navy stand
ing by apparently unmoved What
other country but China can present
such an anomaly William Barclay

EnsIand's war once Theorie-.


Theories by the hundred are Matched
within the walls of the war Office
theories based upon the lessons taught
during the mutiny and the Crimean
war, theories that would have been
useful in the days of the Snider or even
the converted Snider, but which in the
main are of little value when Mausers
and Mannlichers and shells filed with
melinite and having the velocity almost
81 sound itself are used. In that build
ing they arrange drill books and pre-
face them with the warning that by
command of her majesty the rules for
movements and formations laid down
therein are to be rigidly adhered to.
and that any departure therefrom will
be viewed as something like crime.
According to the lines of these books
our men are drilled and our officers are
trained; and what was the result dur
ing the war that is now closing? Bat
taions and brigades stumbled their
way along on the war office lines until
they learned by experience that they
were wrong, and the imperial officer
and the imperial battalion were the
laughing stock of the colonial in the
held.-Pan Mall Gazette.

Antiquity of Chewing Gum Habit.

A correspondent calls attention to
a passage in a letter written by Co
lumbus after the discovery of Amer.
ica- 1t is as follows: FINALLY that

account of our departure and quick
return and the gain, 1 promise this.

niue OF spices, or cotton, OF chewing
gum (Which is only found in Chlos),
also as much OF aloeswood and as
many slaves for the navy as their
majesties will wish to demand" The
date of this letter is March IA, 1893,
over 400 years ago, and it is evident
from the inclusion of chewing gum

Spreading Consumption.

The following curious origin of an
epidemic of tuberculosis is reported
from Krakow, a city of Russia. An
unusual number of cases of consump-
ton were noticed among the munich
pal officers and clerks. Some acci-
dental suggestion finally led to a
meteorological examination of the Ii
brary where the city records were
kept. 1t was found that the de-
partmental archives were literally
covered with tubercle bacilli. Fur
Their investigation traced them to
consumptive employee, whose work
had led him TO consult the archives
very frequently, and who had the
common habit of wetting his fingers
with saliva to facilitate the turning
of the pages, on each one of which
he thus deposited colony of bacilli.

IL would be interesting to know to
what extent the summer resorts profit

overheard in one of the inland lake

sort to the residents therein.

Unique Engineering.

An extension of the Mexican Ma

arc to Uruapan, was completed n year
or two ago and is a unique piece OF
engineering. Probably a more crooked
railroad is not TO be found anywhere
in the world. After winding along the
shore of Lake Patzcuaro, then past
beautiful Lake Zirahuen, it crosses a
mountain range by the devious course
of four long adjacent loops. In an air
line covering the four adjacent loops
the distance is 1878 feet-just about
half mile-and the fall 426 feet, but
the train travels 2h miles in the de-
