WIT OF PRESIDENT WOODROW
New Head of Princeton Makes Him
self Popular With Students.

self Popular With Students.
A Princeton man tells of an incident
of DR.. Woodrow Wilson's elevation to
the presidency of Princeton which he
regards as indicative of the way in
which he will hold the students in
leash by ready wit and GENIAL smile
instead of trying to awe them with
his dignity.
When darkness lent cover to the
project. on the evening of the day on
which the announcement of DR.. VIII
sons election was made, some of the
more boisterous spirits organized a
celebration, and having requisitioned
horns and a green grocer's stock OF
head lettuce. descended upon the new
president.
At the first toot of a horn he knew
what was coming. but before bedlam
could break loose, DIR. Wilson was out
among the serenaders, grasping each
one by the hand and thanking them
individually and collectively for their
congratulations, pretending not to see
the lettuce heads which the students
made desperate efforts to keep out of
view and to get rid of.
When the students recovered from
this unexpected overthrow of their
plans some one shouted:
What's the matter with Woodrow
Wilson,"
And the answer came loud and
clear:
Hes all right. He's a brick"
The students then marched away,
singing, For he's jolly good fellow"
and carrying their lettuce heads with
them.

PRISONER IN BEAR PIT.
Indian Policeman Makes Sure of De-
tention of Suspected Man.


tention of Suspected Man.
All night in the bear pit at Silver
Lake and handcuffed, while two bears
poked their noses through the wide
bars of the grating at him was the try
ing experience of Johann Vaelinsh
of Kent last night.
Pete Bey, a full-blood Indian who
recently came from Canada, is doing
special police duty at the Silver Lake
resort and his opinion of the laws
majesty is very elevated. When he
found Vaelinski and two other men
nosing around the cottages inside the
grounds late last night he gave a
whoop and caught two of the fellows
before they could start to run. The
third escaped. another got away
while Peter was putting the cuffs on
Vaelinski. Where to put the prisoner
bothered the Indian for a while, but
at last he thought of the bear pit.
There is an entrance to the pit three
by four feet, and with wide barred
gates on each side. Into this the pris.
oner was pushed and though he yelled
with fear as the bears came trotting
toward him it did no good. By put,
ting their feet through the grating the
bears could come within an inch OF
touching their visitor and they made
things interesting for him for seven
hours.
After an investigation this morning
Vaelinski was released, it being found
that he and the man with him had
become lost in going from Cuyahoga
Falls to Kent Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

Never had there been such a gor-

annals of the city. The church was
crowded with the fashion, beauty and
chivalry of the most exclusive circles.
The floral decorations were something
marvellous; the costumes beyond
even the female society reporter At
the appointed hour the groom stepped
from the room assigned to him, &C
companied by his best man, and
moved toward the altar, just as the
bride, arrayed only as wealth can
array its fayorites, moved up the aisle
preceded by pretty flower girl and
followed by splendid array of brides
maids, all yelled. They met at the
altar and the ceremony began. The
great audience craned its collective
neck to hear the responses.
DO you, Florence, take this man
to be your welded husband, to cleave
unto him, forsaking all others, to
love, honor and obey him until death
you do part?" read the clergyman
solemnly in his most sonorous voice.

Jury of ST. Louis.

ST. Louis, April 5.-Most sensational
charges are made by the grand jury,
which has been investigating bribery
and official corruption in the municipal

Judge O'Neill Ryan in the criminal
court.
The following indictments were also
returned today: Bribery, Robert N.
Snyder; attempted bribery. Edward
Butler, John H. Brecker. perjury,
George Kebush.
The report declares that the people
of st. Louis have but a vague concsp-
tion of the extent to which corruption
and venality have for the past ten
years existed among the sworn officers
and public servants. 1t finds the true
condition of affairs almost too appali-
ing for belief. A tribute is paid 10

Washington. April 5.-Three separate
minority reports on the Cuban reel
procity bill were filed today by Repre-
sentatives Robertson. OF louisiana.
Newlands. Of Nevada, and Cooper, of
Texas. all democrats.
MIR. Robertson says in part: The bin
IL enacted into law would afford no re
lief TO the Cuban treasury. believe that
the benefits would go into the pockets
OF few sugar planters owning thou
sands OF acres Of land. The 20 per cent
reduction would not go TO the relief
OF the Cuban people but would go i'm
mediately and entirely to I'LL the al
ready overfiowing Golfers OF the sugar
refineries of the United States. known
by the name OF the sugar trust :"
Mr.. Robertson expresses astonIshment
that one OF his democratic associates
(Mr. McClellan) in his report refers to
the bill as an enunciation OF the dem
ocratic doctrine OF reciprocity"
Mr.. Robertson adds: 1T seems te
me that that kind of reciprocity Is alb
solutely impossible under a democratic
tariff. Should the tariff ever be revised
| on the line and plane OF the principles
| of the democratic party. reciprocity
would be entirely unnecessary anu irp-

Mr.. Newlands makes an elaborate
presentation, reviewing the politicai
and commercial phases. In conclusion
he says: THE American people are
