Public attention in Europe is again

The Professor and the Girl :


He began to notice II first in this

in the preparation of his lectures there
would creep the surreptitious thought,

himself thanking Providence that by

lost his place in his notes and stood
confused and put to shame before the

before in all his experience. Finally
he came to the conclusion that the tie

senior student was a freshman, and
which he had worn ever since, was a
little the worse for wear and must be

THE POSTAL INQUIRY.
Members of Toledo Firm Suspected
of Completely In Alleged Crooked
Practices of Machen

Washington, June 3.-The go-be-
tweens who, it is alleged, figured in
transactions which led to the arrest of
August W. Machen, the former general
superintendent Of the free delivery
system, are understood to be members
of a firm in Toledo, O., the former home
of Mr.. Machen. Although it is known
authoritatively that there are several
parties whose arrests may be decided
on a t any time, Postmaster General
Payne said Tuesday night that so far
as he is advised no immediate arrests
are in contemplation.
Postmaster General Payne some
weeks ago hoped that he would be able
to make at least preliminary report
to President Roosevelt on his return
to Washington, but the investigation
has extended so much more widely
than was Originally contemplated and
the end is yet so far eff that no formal
statement at this time is likely.
though soon after the presidents re-
turn Mr.. Payne will report to him in.
formally on the work that he has done.

the churchyard of st. John at Jack
sonville The church is situated on
one of the highest and most slightly
knobs in Jacksonville, and the propo-
sition was to put the grave right in the
middle of splendid lawn which
stretches in front. It was planned
to build monument there. Now it
happened that among the parishion-
ers of st. John was a family named
LEngles, very old and wealthy, de-
scendants of the Huguenots. They
objected decidedly to turning the
lawn into a cemetery, and they did
not hesitate to express their opln-
ion. Their opposition prevented the

mirers desired. r
Not much ground for feud there,
it may be said. But Bishop Young
was a brother in law of John Stock
ton, and Stockton never fOrgaye the
affront. He and his brothers de-
clared war on the L'Engles. They
withdrew from the church and built
one of their own Whenever a L En-
gle or friend of the L'Engles be-
came a candidate for office the Stock
tons took off their coats to beat him,
and the L'Engles retaliated in kind.
