AS the train pulled into the Eighth
street depot, Kimblern was pushed out
OF the front end OF the smoking car and

He was dragged face downward over
the railroad tracks. The moose tight

Postal Frauds - Condign Punish
ment to be Melted Out to Offenders.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 23.-In
the senate to-day the resolutions pre-
vlously offered by Mr.. Bacon, lGa.), di-
recting the committee on relations with
Cuba to make an investigation regard
ing the receipts and expenditure of
money in Cuba, was called up.
Mr. Platt. of Connecticut, said Con-
gress could not well Interfere with the
investigation Instituted by the postmas-
ter general. He read a letter from
Postmaster General Smith to Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Brlstow,
who is charged with conducting the In
vestlgatlon, which urged upon him the
most thorough investigation OF all ir-
reguIarltles connected with the postal
frauds, and the rigorous and uRsPayIRg
prosecution OF all guilty persons, and
melting out Of swift and condign pun
ishment.
Continuing, Mr.. Platt saId THE
people have confidence in William Nc
KInley. No president while he was
president, ever had the confidence Of
the people to the degree that President
Mckinley has It. Other presidents
have been cannonIzed after death, and
It has been evidenced then that they
had the confidence Of the people, but no
president In office has ever escaped the
criticism and Inuendo that Mckinley
has escaped. The people would be
glad to leave this investigation to him.
They know there would be no condon-
ing OF tho fraud. no covering up OF
crime. But when charges are made
simply for campaign purposes, think
we may ms we'll make an investigation
for ourselves"
shortly before 3 o'clock Mr. Plntt
concluded and the resolution went over

A few years ago a landowner made
his neighbor tear down and rebuild a
four-story block because il overreached
six inches into the next lot A still
more selfish contention concerns the
proprietorship Of FIVE inches of space
300 feet above the sidewalk. The bring
er of the suit declares that a neighbor-
ing cornice projects five inches over his
own modest roof, and he claims large
damages therefor. For once Dr. Hale's
look up and not down" seems at fault.
Thackeray's irony is more apt: "If
your neighbours foot obstructs you,
stamp on it; and do you suppose he
won't take it away?"

one day shorter than leap year, lcav-

Society is rather put to it to find nov

in that line was an after-the-opera

lunch wagons near the Yale campus

were Yale men. There was supper

rather unusual opera-supper delicacies
as the menu afforded, winding up with
revel in pie and doughnuts.
