First Of The Series.

The first in a course of lectures inaugu-
rated by the Department of University
Extension Of St Johns College was de-
livered last night in Mcdowell Hall be-
fore large and appreciative audience
by Jacob H. Hollander, Pm. d., Johns
Hopkins University. His subject was
Porto Rico" and he most a5iy carried
his hearers into that beautiful land OF
flowers, aided by stereopticon views
showing the abuses OF Spanish rule and
OF the freedom under American occupa-
ton. He spoke briefly on the past mill
tary form OF government and of the pres
ent establishment of civil government.
He gave most excellent description
as 10 ITS physical characteristics as we'll
as OF its natural products. He display
ed some beautiful pictures of some of The
historic buildings in San Juan. He then
took up the future of the Island which all
concede has a most promising future
indeed. The schools he said have ad.
vanced more in the last three years under
aid Of the United States than for the 400
yeaIs proceeding under Spanish rule.
That il does not open up so renumera.
tive fields tor the investment of American
capital as for the natives themselves.
The lecture was a most interesting one
indeed, as we'll as instructive.

gated lands is sunHowers. Last Satur-
day H. Cellar of Mob Hill left one at
this Office that excited the curiosity of
every passerby. 1t measure 9 feet in
height. The stalk was inches thick at

inches in diameter. Mr.. Cellar stated
that he had many more equally as large.
A stranger in the city who saw the big
flower when brought in ordered several
which he said he would send to Kansas
believing that the real thing" would
be the only way by which he could con.
vince that the figures, should he write
them, would not be construed as another
western fib.

Northern Pacific Held Up.

At Hope, Idaho, last night about II
o'clock some bandits attempted to rob
the express car Of the N p. overland.
They cut the blind baggage loose from
the train and ran it down the track,
thinking it was the express car. In the
meantime the train force securely bar
ricaded the express car so that when
the robbers discovered their mistake
and came back to the train their recep-
ton was quite warm, necessitating a
prompt retreat into the woods. DR..
White, of this city, was on board re-
turning from Milwaukee, where he has
been for the past month. and he says
the passengers were pretty well fright
ened.

H. H. Schott & Co s runaway de-
livery team was again the cause of much
excitement Monday afternoon. While
standing in the back alley loading for a
trip, they suddenly became frightened
and started at full tilt down the alley,
across First street and into the Bartho-
let hotel alley, smashing into smith
Greens Wards express wagon which
was standing tied to telegraph pole.
The driver of the team is not to be
blamed, either, for the horses were Sc
curely fastened by the weight which
they carried with them. The horses,
however, are certainly wicked.
