DR.. cRuM's CASE.
New York Post

Herein lies the portentous importance
of DR.. Crum's case. In him the prejudice
Of caste strikes at his own race. His re-
lection confirms Secretary Roots descrip-
gtion of the mighty question that is soon
to confront this republic. The south,
with an alarming amount of aid and COM
fort from the north, is determined to
drive colored men from office, and to rob
them of the ballot. A member oe re-
publican cabinet stands up before the vet
Grams of the Union League club and tells
them that negro suffrage is failure. No
outcry follows, no protest is heard No
champion of the black man arises in con-
gress to make a flaming appeal to the
fundamental principles of democracy, or
to the memories OF our heroic age. 1t is
left for Catholic prelate to tell these
ccnspirators against the negro.s political
rights that they. arc striking at the heart
Of this nation

A young woman who wore at a concert a.

requested to- remove at, She did so, but
with poor grace, and the old lady behind
her who had proffered the request could
not avoid hearing Her vexed comment to
her companion. But being blessed with a
sense Of humor, the old lady smiled in
spite of herself.

Acting upon the story of Assembly,
man H. c.. Schumacher. the Ramsey
county grand jury has decided to in
vestigate the relations Of the Twin

Paul common council. 49,.
The alderman says that an agent OF
the street railway company came to
him several times to prevent certain
man In the city council from getting
job He said it was a piece of spite
work by the company to keep the man
out Of a position which would pay
500 per month. The agent asked
the assem- lyman If he knew any one
who might take it and later .tmpor-
tuned him to accept the position him
self, raising the salary to $1,000 per
year. The assemblyman says he re-
fused the offer, but that later other
agents Of the company are said to have
come to him and tried to get him not
to protest If the street car company
pulled off a few Of the owl cars, as
the company was losing 500 a night.

peculiar property Of the substance, which
stimulates the little nerves Of cold SEN
sation'' beneath the skin. All over the
body are distributed nerves Of cold and
nerves Of heat, the former can only feel
GOODNESS and the latter. can only feel
warmth. The menthol is not cold, but
it feels so for the reason above mentioned.
Each set Of nerves has its own particu-
lar kind Of sensation. If you shut your
eyelids in dark room quickly and tightly,
you will perceive something like a flash
Of light, which is due to irritation Of the
optic: nerve. Any kind of shock to the
auditory nerve will produce a loud sound.
Irritate, no matter by what means, any
of the nerves, and 1t responds by convey
ing Its own peculiar sense impression to
the brain. Thus it Is that one is able to
taste electricity when the poles Of bat
terry. are applied to the tongue. The pa
pillae on the surface Of the tongue, each
Of which represents a tiny nerve ending,
are stimulated and an illusion of flavor
results. :. - -. E.. :
You may try an odd experiment in re-
gard to taste sensations by, placing stimuli
taneously on different parts Of the tongue
two substances Of markedly different fla
vors-say sugar and salt You will not
taste them both: at the same time, nor as
a mixture, but they will alternate back
and forth; you will taste first the sweet
and then the salt, and the sweet again.
and then the salt, as sense perception
jumps back and forth between the two.
1t is really very curious and illustrates the
fact that one cannot possibly taste more
than one thing at any given moment.
This, however, Is not exactly decep-
ton Of sense, but merely an interesting
physiological experiment. More proper
ly to be described as an illusion Of taste

Is the peculiar effect which hot soup
sometimes has when one takes it into the
mouth without due caution. Once in a
while, under such circumstances it
causes, strangely enough, a sensation of
cold, evidently because 1t irritates the lit
tie nerve BINDINGS Of cold on the surface
of the tongue.
Just as it is impossible to perceive two
tastes at once, SO likewise you cannot dis
t1nguish two different smells at the same
instant. You may test this by making two
cOrnucOpias of letter paper and placing the
large end of each Of them over some
strong scented substance-say, pepper
mint, and a. weak solution of ammonia,
contained in q couple Of wine glasses.
Then put the small ends Of the cornuco-
pias into your nostrils and notice the ef-
but the ammonia and peppermint alter
nately, huctuating back and forth from
one to the other.
The impressions our senses receive are,
after all, to great extent relative. A

Nearly all the non-union mem have
walked out with the union men.
The carpenters are cheerful and say
that the strike will be over by the end
of the week. In the meanwhile the
contractors who refused to agree to

case with which our eyes deceive US IS
notorious, and, if Seeing is believing, =
we are surely victims of a confidence mis-

ing double is no great art, as you will adj
NIT when you have tried the experiment.
It Is not the mind that is deceived in
such cases as those described, of course,
but the eye, the ear, the touch, the taste
or the smell. They are merely erroneous
sense impressions as one might
say, upon the nervous system. Behind the
mechanism Of the nervous system, Of
which the brain is the principal center "a
magnified ganglion), there sits in iudg-
ment the intelligence, which, acting as the
final arbiter of fact. finds it rather anus

as clever but unsuccessful impostures.

Present "Sophs" Make New Arrange
ment as to Glass Election.

AS a result of the recent junior class
election at the university, in which the
engineering students swamped the
academies and ran the election to suit
themselves, there will probably be a
division of the two colleges at future
elections. Members of the sophomore
class, at a caucus yesterday, decided
to hold separate elections, and this
action will probably be followed by
other classes.
The recent appointment of Profess
sor Downey as dean Of the academic
college has done much to bring about
the separation Of the two colleges.
Under present conditions there Is little
In common between the two and the
change will probably be welcomed by
the majority Of students in both de-
partments.
