HIS BANK BALANCE.
Professor Finally Found Out What It
 Amounted To-.

From the New York Tribune.
 There is a certain Professor B. who is constitutionally hay in regard to his own financial affairs. For a long time he had an account at a bank in lower Broadway, and, though he could mention offhand all the known resources of any government on the face of the earth, he would have looked over his spectacles in mild bewilderment if he had been asked to state the amount of his balance at that bank at any time. Of course, he knew that it varied, but he had pleas ant and secure kind of a feeling that 1t must always be a pretty sizable one, be- cause he regularly and religiously de- posted his weekly salary as soon as he received 1t, and he never drew checks except when it seemed necessary to do so.
 The professor lives in Jersey City, and for seven or eight years his wife has been telling him that it would be much more convenient, since most of their deal ings are with Jersey City merchants. to have their account with a Jersey City bank The other day the professor got around to attend to the matter. As a pre- liminary he went over to the Broadway bank to draw out his balance there.
 While he stood waiting, after telling one of the clerks what he wanted. the presi- dent of the bank who also lives in Jersey City and whose wife goes to the same

London, July BOA remarkable DOCK by Paul Joubert concerning Russia has l Just been published. quote few state ments: then make comment: "A girl aged nineteen was found in the house of a Nihilist. The Nihilisti got away before arrest. but she was taken, though ab- solutely innocent as a substitute. No trial. Twenty years Imprisonment. $ The cells were without furniture, and were fitted with sloping plank beds. There was no straw or covering of any Ilxind for the wretched prisoners, who sat huddled together on the bare benches, which formed their seat by day and their l,.esting place at night. In the womans cell the state of things was just the lsame: no consideration was extended to their gentle sex. They were prisoners, that was all; and a Russian prisoner has mo sex. On one bench l saw as many as fourteen prisoners sitting or lying to- gether with their heavy chains upon their legs. At every movement the chains clanlx and rattle upon the boards, and as they can never keep still for a moment, but must of necessity scratch their tor 1nented limbs, the chatter of the chains Is ceaseless and repulsiye. They are given a piece of bread and bowl of soup l inspected the rations. The soup stank with the odor of a soap factory. l asked for a piece of bread from warder and when l had examined 1t l called Tor a bowl of warm water, and in couple oi minutes handed the bowl to the doctor of the prison and asked him to look at it.

 ''Why, professor" he said cordially, I'm sorry to hear that you are going to leave us"
 T am leaving you with the greatest re- gret," said the professor benignly. But 1t is an inconvenience not to have a bank account in our home town. and in order to open one there l really need the money have deposited here''

 The two men conversed amiably about the Russo-Japanese war for a time, and presently the clerk approached.
 "Iere is your bank book. Professor B." he said, "and your balance. I think you will find 1t correct"

Shakespeares birthplace. She seems likely to come off victorious. The ques- tion at issue is whether two houses ad- joining the birthplace shall be pulled down. These houses formerly belonged to a granddaughter of Shakespeare. Be- tween them and the birthplace GUS todian's house has been erected, and on the other side of the houses the Carnegie library has been built. The houses were presented by MT. Carnegie to the trust established by the Shakespeare's birth place and Trust Act of 1891. On May Of this year the report of the executive com mittee of the trust was issued, signed by the chairman, MT. Sidney Lee. The re- port recommends that the houses should not be pulled down. When, however, the report came before the full body of the trustees this was opposed, and it was de-
 cided that a decision should be deferred
 until a meeting to be held next October. That the recommendation of the exc
 cutiye committee will then be adopted
 can hardly be doubted, for the opposi- ton seems confined to a few nonentites who do not like Miss Marie Corelli or anyone else to interfere. Since the exc cutive committee of the trust itself sides with her, 1t would be a public scandal were these nonentities to have their own way in a course that seems gratuious vandalism.
 So far as l understand It, the theatre and the museum close by the parish church constitute a separate trust The
 theatre Is a singular ugly building and the Shakespearean performances per iodcally held there are not of the highest
 class. If a theatre was to be built, 1t ought to have been a replica of Shake
 speares own theatre in the Borough, and plays enacted precisely as they were un- der his management. The museum con tains a good deal of utter rubbish. l be- lieve, however. there are historical rec ords of Shakespeare and his time that have never been examined and if the Commission would look them over, per-
 haps they might find some worth publsh- ing

Wellington Furnished.

The glory of the hawk-nosed Duke of Wellington who with Prussian aid sue oeeded in beating Napoleon at Waterloo and whom military experts have always considered a third-rate general, or, in brief merely lucky adventurer, re- ceives a terrible tarnish at the hands of his latest British biographer, Mir George Robert Gleig-the book is edited by his daughter on account of his death-sup- plements his life of the Duke by Per sonal "Reminiscences" of the "hero?" of Waterloo whom he had the advantage of knowing more intimately than most of
 lis Grace's proteges. The late Chaplain General, however, is so far from being Infected virulently with the Lues Bos-
 vellana that he gives you in these Per sonal "Reminiscences" a picture of his hero wnion can hardly be called winning.
 It confirms, too. my impression that a
 mere general-who Is not also like Cae- sar, Napoleon, etc, a statesman-may
 te intellectually rather a poor creature.
 How poor a creature the great duke was ! as statesman everyone knows; but his i insight and farsight even m his own spe- | cial business, was almost incredibly linn tied. It was difficult-e. g., to persuade l him that any improvement of the Brown | Bess," of his day was possible, and he { resisted as long as he could the substi-
 tuition for 1t of the Minnie rifle" Indeed i he long resisted the substitution of tho I copper cap for the flint and steel H. would not hear of the special education o | officers, while "the proposal to trair
 masters and to open schools for tho
 benefit of non-commissioned officers, anC
 men made him furious" When MT. Gleit with the consent of the secretary of wal | tried to ascertain bN a round of In spections the degree of general intelli
 gence amongst the men, the Duke inter l fered with a peremptorv order forbid
 ding any such investigation. Sir George l Brown quoted to Mir. Gleig the Dukes | prophecy of the result of education il | the army.

BY PHlNEAs FLETCHER.

When the bright boy at the examination In geography was up against the proposi- ton: "The ship. Mndoro, Captain Bray of Newburyport, was becalmed off the Mosquito Coast. State where that Is and what you know about the country!' he re- piled: 'rThe ship was cruising either around or through the state of New Jer- sey They bte.'
 Naturally at the time l came to live in this paradisal state where they raise applejack which raises the roof of ones brains and pandemonium, too, I became very much interested in mosquitoes; which was only polite, because the mos quitoes became very much interested in me I had fancied I knew something about these birds of prey and wholesale manufacturers of profanity because l had been in Saigon, Cochin-China, where French gentleman committed suicide on account of them; and l had summered on an island in White Island Pond.

 But the Jersey insect though not so large as his Saigon congener and not So multitudinously noisy as the Puritan breed impressed me at once as more m dustrious and clothed with more cor porate powers. In that state so libertne of charters for the blood-sucldng or the common people, the mosquito Is char tered libertine.
