A MANS DOUBLE.
Some Peculiar Experiences of'a Gentle
man Who Had One.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Il suppose nearly every man has dou-
ble," observed a business man who Occu-
pies an office in Camp street, land l am
no exception to the rule. From my own
experience I am convinced that I am lit
tie above the average in this respect.
have beer seriously embarrassed several
times on account of the fact, and that old
song about the fellow that looks like me-
has been ringing through my ears of late:
Wouldn't 1 like to catch him,
Whoever he may be;
Wouldn't mash the pumpkin head
OF the fellow that looks like me-"
II believe this is the way the old song
goes. AT any rate 1t expresses my sentl-
ments. My case is almost bad as the
case of the Dromios. 1t is probably worse,
for the reason that my double is no earthly
kin to me, and his name is nothing like
mine. But just to show you how am en-
barrasSed by the fact that there Is q man
who resembles me, 1 was walking down
Canal street few evenings ago, when lady
rushed up to me, grabbed my hand, smiled
and said, 'Howdy do in the giaGdest way
imaginable. / shook hands with her, asked
how she was, and kept wondering all the
time where on earth l had met her. 1T
was awfully kind Of YOU she said to
suggest going to the theater tonight. and
will look for you at I:30.' l looked around
to see If my wife was anywhere in the
neighborhood, and then it suddenly dawned
on me that the young lady had made
mistake in the man. She was rather good
looking, and | could tell from her manner
that she was all that a good, sweet little
woman ought to be. The situation was get
ting more embarrassing every second, and
finally said: Excuse me- but you have prob
ably made some mistake in the man. Why
-no-yeS, she replied, banteringly, aren't
you Mr.. SoandSo? I told her l was not.
Her face colored, she stammered an apOl-
ogy, pulled her skirts around her and swept
around the corner.
This was not so bad, of course. But the
climax was reached the other day, when 1
invited some visiting friends into down.
town saloon to take a drink with me.
When we got the drinks l put five-dollar
bill on the bar counter. Do you want me
to hold that little sum you owe me from
last week. asked the bartender. 1 had
never been in the place before, and 1 told
the man I owed him nothing and had
never seen him before. l recalled the Canal
street incident, and l thought the barkeeper
had probably fallen into the same error.
What is my name?' 1 asked the barkeeper.
oh, that's all right, Mr.. Soandso,' he re-
piled. L didn't mean to offend you, and
am not at all uneasy about your little ac-
count l laughed and told my right name,
and related some of the little embarrass-
ments which have been brought about by
having double in town, and We had

ments which follow from having a double.

Language Of George Of Greece.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The King Of Greece when conversing with
members Of his family. always speaks ERg-

uses Greek when compelled to do SO. His
Hellenic majesty draws his own checks
and person who once had an opportunity
of seeing one was surprised to find that the

Farmers Like the System.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Wilson s. Bissell, who was Postmaster
General under President Cleveland, Is re-
ported as opposing extensions of rural free
delivery on the ground that the expense
will far exceed the estimates, and that
the service will isolate the farmers by cut
ting them off from social intercourse with
their fellow men at the country stores. Mr..
Bissell has not usually been looked upon
as country village sage, and the farmers
WIN not flock to crown him with garlands.
Even IL their letters are delivered at their
doors. what ban will stop them from friv-
ing to the country stores for pleasant talk?
Mr.. Bissell Is no typical Agricultural.

Mr. Carnegie's Surprise.

Then came a great surprise. Mr.. Car
negie announced his desire to found an in
stitutiOn in the city of Washington upon
the plan already indicated at the beginning
of this letter. and those whom he has Sc
lected for this work are about to proceed
to the unfolding of his purposes.
The form of organization is very simple

Columbia. six persons-namely. Messrs

The Plan of Organization.

1t is obvious that a body like this, which
is made up of men whose homes are in
widely scattered parts of the country, and
who evidently selected because of the
interest they have shown in the welfare of
the country, cannot manage the details of
scientific investigation. They will doubt
less select certain executive officers, but
even these will not be qualified, without
great deal of expert advice, to determine
the value of the various methods of pro-
cedure which will quickly be presented for
their consideration.
Accordingly. the next step forward will
be to appoint number of counselOrS or
experts to whom will be referred import
ant questions of a scientific character, the
selection of competent helpers and the best
methods of publishing results. It Is pro-
posed. In other words to select, IN different
departments of knowledge, men who, by
their ability and experience. have shown
themselves worthy of confidence. They will
constitute the scientific corps of the insti-
tuition, and will be chosen because they are
qualified and willing to cooperate in ad-
vancing the purposes Of the institution.
National University Not Supplanted.
1t is noteworthy that Mr.. Carnegies gift
does not supersede any action on the part
of Congress to establish a university, In
the ordinary sense of that word, where a
faculty shall be assembled, laboratories
provided and postgraduate students admit
ted All the plans thus far projected for
a national university have looked toward
postgraduate work, extending the oppor-
tunities now provided in colleges and other
institutions throughout the land. This form
of activity is foreign to Mr.. Carnegie's
purposes. and his purposes can be carried
out with without the establishment of
national university by Congress. That
question stands now as heretofore on it's
own merits.
The friends Of scientific research will
await the further development of the Car
negie Institution with profound interest.
Even those who would prefer the organiza-
ton of a national university, supported by
Congress, must perceive upon reflection, If
they do not at the outset, that Mr.. Car
negie's plans are as broad as the field
of knowledge, that the amount of his gift
surpasses any other endowment in the
world for the specific purpose of extending
science. and that the spirit of cooperation
which he enjoins upon his trustees must
bring the new institution into close affilia-
ton with all that is best in the country
He will deserve not only the applause, but
also the gratitude of mankind

Practical Steps Taken.

Another factor has entered into this COM
pleX problem. Many influential and pa
triotic ladies, in different parts of the
country, have formed the George Wash
ington Memorial Association, and, among
other objects, have undertaken to collect
fund which might be applied to the
erection in Washington of memorial
building in honor of Washington. TO be
used as a central administrative building
for the national university, If such an in
Stitution should come into existence.
Just before adjournment. in the summer
of 1901, Congress authorized the opening
of the scientific bureaus and libraries of
Washington to students from any part of
the country. This was opportunity
which was Immediately seized by the
Washington Academy of Sciences and by
the George Washington Memorial AsSocia-
tiOn just referred to, and they united their
forces in the establishment of an indepcnd-
ent body to be known the Washington
Memorial Institution. This movement re-
ceiVed the support. of a large number of
the presidents of colleges throughout the
land. and in the autumn of 1901 every
thing looked favorable for the beginning
of its work. except the lack of funds. In
a private way some efforts were made to
secure, If not an endowment, a sufficient
income to carry on the work of the new

presidents for an ambassador to make

The explanation that Lord Paunce-

is not regarded as exposing Dr. Won

since Lord Pauncefote gave no intima-
