According to a special from Hudson
last week, several of the students Of
the Academy were expelled from the
institution for having played poker.
'was card playing in fashion in the
old days Of the University ut Hud-
son?' was the query Democrat re-
preventative addressed today to a
former student and graduate, now one
Of the leading citizens and professional
men of Akron.
"It was not my good fortune to be
student Of the old Western Reserve
IN what may fairly be called It's heroic
age" was the reply. My time
there was from 1868 to 1872. The
college had then past the days of Its
life and death struggle with adverse
circumstances, and had on its rolls a
highly respectable, il not numerous,
list of alumni. Among these / may
name Senator Allison, the late Omar
D. Conger, a Senator from Michigan,
william B. Woods, justice OF the
United States Supreme court, Hiland
r. Hulburd, comptroller Of the cur
rency under President Grant, aud
many others.

Tillman's Pitch Fork.

The passage of a bill gran ting a
pension of $500 mouth to Stacy II.
Cogswell, Company +, Thirteenth
Indiana Volunteer Infantry, induced
MIR. Tillman. of South. Carolina, to
make some forceful comments upon
the Houses not taking action upon
a bill providing pension for Mexi-
can war veteran, who had resided in
South Carolina during the civil war,
and naturally had been in sympathy
with the Confederacy. He said there
was such sectional animosity in the
House Committee that the members
refused Ia permit action upon the
bill fer the benefit of this old Mexi-
can veteran.
"ls the war over, or is it not?" de.
manded Mr.. Tillman, with vehe-
mence, "Let us find out whether it is
or not. ! will not let another pen
sion bill pass this Senate until this
old man gets justice"
During one of the debates Mr.. Till
man characterized Senator Beveridge

THEMAGIco OF sELr.coNFIDENcE

A mans success in lie is usually
In proportion to his confidence in
himself and the energy and persis-
tence with which he pursues his aim.
In this competing age there is little
hope for the man who does not
thoroughly believe in himself. The
man who can be easily discouraged
or turned aside from his purpose, the
man who has no iron in his blood,
will never win.
Half the giants strength is in the
conviction that he is a giant. The
strength of muscle is enhanced a
hundredfold 10y the will.power. The
same muscle. when removed from the
giants arm, when divorced from the
force of the mighty will, can sustain
but fraction of the weight it did a
moment before it was disconnected.
The man without self-confidence
and an iron will is the plaything of
chance, the puppet of his environ
ment, the slave of circumstances.
With these he Is king, ever master
of the situation.

THE ..JIM CROW LAW.

The "Jim Grow" law passed by
the Virginia Legislature, which ap-
plies to steamboats, and other vessels
plying in the waters OF Virginia, il
regarded with more than usual In
terest by owners of such craft. Ii
amends the former law, which did
not make its provisions mandatory
upoh those interested. Captains
aud other commanders of these steam.
boats were only required, where
practicable, to set apart separate
apartments for colored people. The
effect was that unless such persons
chose to find it practicable they were
not bound, under the provisions OF
the law, to put it into operation. The
recent act passed by the Legislature
requires that separate apartments
shall be made for colored persons in
eating, sleeping and IL the saloons.
The act uses as a reason why this
separation of the races shall be made
the prevention of unlawful distur-
Dances on such boats.
Even those who were inclined tc
favor the enactment of the amended
law admit that it is difficult to see
how it can be successfully carried
out.
1t is quite probable that the
owners of steamboats, doing business
in this State will make up a case
and have the legal points involved
passed upon by the Federat courts
The law goes into effect on July
next.-Baltimore san.
