Ndhoff, Sr., Freshman and Ndhoff,
jr., Sophomore al University
vi Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct 10
There is a sophomore named Nahoff at
the University of Pennsylvania who is
in a somewhat unusual predicament.
He has been called upon to haze his
own father. and he must do it or vio-
late all the rules and precedents of his
own class-outside the classroom.
The Nahoffs are Russians, and the
father, after sending his son to the
university year ago, has jest entered
as a freshman in the architectural de-
partment According to their state
ments, there is less than fifteen years
difference in their ages. Nahoff, the
father, says he was born in 1868, and
the son he says was born in 1877.
z Young Nahoff has not yet attempted
to prevent his parent smoking pipe
or cigar, which are prohibited luxuries
for freshmen, but it is felt to be only
a question of time when something
will happen to strain their family re-
lations.

Grace Church Pastor
Praised at Las Vegas


The Las Vegas Record of October Z
has the following regarding the new
rector of Grace church:
REV. George Selby, rector of St.
Pau1's church. in this city, has received
a very flattering call from Grace church
at Tucson, Arizona, and In view of the
fact that his estimable wife suffers
very much from poor circulation in
this altitude, it is probable that he will
accept
'"The news of Mr.. Selby's contem-
plated departure from Las Vegas will
cause general and sincere regret in this
city. He is a highly educated gentle
man, profound thinker. logical
reasoner, and displays superior ability
as talented and devout servant Of the
Master. And with all his brilliant at
tributes, natural and acquired, Mr.. Sell
by is one of the most genial and COM
panionable of gentlemen His mag
netism attracts friendship, while his
pronounced worth as an earnest Chris
tian minister and broad-minded gentle
man retains it. His popularity is not
confined to the members of his own
church, for all who know him admire
and honor his estimable qualities oi
mind and heart.
Tucson merits congratulations on
securing Mr.. Selby and his charming
wife as citizens. and Grace church is
especially fortunate"

HOW HE WORKED IT
He Is Now Landed in Jail, and Ii
Remains to be Seen If He is
Smart ENOUGH to Work
His Wdu Out.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O-Another
budding Napoleon of Finance saw his
career checked when Ronald J. Bren-
nan, % years cd, was lodged in the
Raymond street Jail, Ii jooklyn, today.
Enough has come to light already"
said District Attorney Clarke, of Kings
county, ito show that this youngster,
who wore diamonds, kept a valet and
drove fast horses, has gained by
swinding operations within six months
not less than $4,000 Judging from
the rate at which new complaints have
been reaching me, it would not be sur
prising if the aggregate of his illegal
gains should reach much larger sum"
In two years. from a real estate
office boy, at 81 week, Brennan be-
came president of the Brooklyn Bond
and Mortgage Title company with
tastefully furnished offices in the
Brooklyn Real Estate exchange. with
even more gorgeous headquarters at
68 William street, Manhattan, and
with a capital rated at 100000. This
youth. with the physique of jockey,
weighing barely ninety pounds, is
charged with swindling dozen con-
servatiye banks, real estate title and
trust companies of Brooklyns for sums
varying from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
'It is easy for a nominal sum to buy
real estate heavily incumbered." ex-
planned District attorney Clarke.
"Brennan made q business of getting
such property: then by means OF
dummy. usually woman. he obtained
sworn statements before notaries that:
the mortgages had been satisfied.
These were filed in the registers office.
and Brennan then applied for loans
upon the real estate. In this way he
collected large sums"
Isaac w Jacobson. retained as Bren-
mans counsel, brought him into Judge
Keogh's court on writ OF habeas
corpus. When Brennan learned the
evidence against him he repudiated
Jacobson's action and announced that
former District Attorney Ridgway had
become his counsel. The latter waived
the habeas corpus procedure.

ROHRING LION SOHRES
A CONCERT AUDIENCE
Music Disturbs the Slumbers of
Wild Beasts Behind SCenes,
and a Panic Results.

NEW YORK. Oct 10.-A large aud
ience at the New York theater concert
last night was suddenly thrown into
a panic wh1<-, during musical turn,
the unmistakable roars of lion came
from the back drop on the stage. The
audience looked uneasy, and when a
perfect chorus of yells in many jungle
tongues followed, scores rose to their
feet and prepared to flee. Then it
dawned upon the majority that the
disturbance came from the Hagenback
menagerie
Three lions, nine polar bears, three
tigers, a pair of leopards, an able
bodied puma and several other car
nivorOus animals were confined in
cages just back of the drop, and when
the singing began they objected most
strenuously.
The first roar of Brutus, the star
Ion, sent all the spare actors, scene
to the files, and so upset the perform
ers that they forgot their lines. Train
ers hurried among the animals and
tried toquiet them, but they refused to
be placated, and thereafter frequently
gave tongue, much to the amusement
of the patrons and discomfort of the
actors.
The chief trainer explained that his
charges were tired after a long sea
voyage. and were angered because their
sleep was inlertered with.

STUDY in FINANCE
Another Firm Had Offered to do
the JOB for Half the Amount,
But Morgan Convinced
the Combine.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct 10.-This morn
ing's InterOcean gives what purports
to be a complete statement of negotia-
tions recently held in the Office of J.
P Morgan & Co., and which resulted
in the completion of the merger of all
the meat-packing interests of the
country.
According to the Inter-Ocean, this
great plan was effectually carried out
within the past thirty-six hours. after
a lengthy conference in Mr.. Morgans 8
Office, during which time Mr.. Morgan
is said to have pointed out plainly and
clearly the difficulties which would be
in the pathway of the various parties
at interest if any firm other than his
was chosen to underwrite the 500, ,000,
900 of bonds necessary to perfect the
consolidation.
In it's statement of what it believes
actually occurred the /Inter-Ocean says
that there were present at the meeting
J. p. Morgan and George Perkins, OF
the banking firm; J. Ogden Armour,
P. A. Valentine and Arthur Meeker,
representing Armour & Co.. F. F..
Swift of Chicago and E. e. Swift of
Boston, representing Swift & Co., and
Edward Morris, of the firm of Nelson
Morris & Co,
To quote: Prior to the meeting
of the various packing companies, Mr..
James Stillman president, of the Ma
tional City Bank, called and was clos
ct for over an hour with Mr.. Morgan.
After he had reported, the meeting was
called and the matter was discussed at
length, and at it's close Mr.. Morgan
gave his views of the consolidation and
delivered an ultimatum which covered
his ideas of how the merging Of the
interests should be carried out. The
underwriting of the bonds was turned
over to J. p. Morgan & Co., and the
packing house consolidation therefore
is a fact. Morgan's fee is $10,00O,OO
Nearly two months ago Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. were retained by the packers to
underwrite the $108, 100000 of bonds,
the commission being given to that
firm because of it's friendly relations
with one of the three big packers. The
fee asked by that firm was $5,O0O,OOO
in bonds of the new corporation, that
amount to- be paid out of the total
issue"
In explanation of the operation
which it asserts resulted in the dis
carding of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. and the substitution of the firm OF
J. P. Morgan & Co. at fee just twice
as large, the Inter-Ocean says that Mr..
Morgan spoke very plainly to those
present of the extraordinary benefits
he could extend to the new company In
the way of low freight rates by both
rail and water.
1t is further asserted by the Inter
Ocean that George M. Perkins recently
spent some time in Chicago, ostens1bly
to complete the formation of the har-
vester combination, but. in reality to
discover the status of the negotiations
between Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the
packers, and having discovered that nc
agreement had been signed he hurried
back to New York and reported to Mr.
Morgan. who promptly called a meet
ing and closed the gigantic deal.
