Joseph Salvador, the French histo-
rian, and Jules Sandeau, a novelist,
made their meeting at public recep-
ton the occasion for dispute as to the
respective places which they occupied
in the world of letters.
''The reading of history is like pill
it needs the sugar coating to make it
palatable," argued the novelist.
"Ah, but it is the ingredient which
cures, not the coating" remarked the
historian.
sThen let us divide honors," said
Sandeau, '.for if it were not for my
sugar coating your historical facts
would dry on the shelves"

England is always glad to get an
other citizen, but sometimes she goes
about it in strange manner, accord
ing to the Springfield Republican. A
sailor deserted from a Russian battle
ship and joined an English crew on a
faraway island. He told them that
he was tired of the rule of the car
and wanted to become an English citi-
zen. They were at a loss how to nat
uralize him, but finally each one threw
a bucket of water on him and so wash
ed off the Russian.

The coming jubilee of the university
promises to be an illustration of the
up-to-date effective business methods
of Americans in making success OF
any undertaking. The faculty has set
about the collection of fund of 500,
900 to defray the necessary expenses
of the great celebration. To arouse en-
thusiasm among the alumni. call has
been issued to every class to hold re-
union and in each town where any
considerable number OF alumni reside,
they are urged to form an association.
But the scheme goes farther Each
city has been looked UP and the num-
Der of resident alumni determined, and
on this basis an assessment has been
made on each place which the former
students are asked to raise The plan
is meeting with much favor and as a
result many new alumni associations
are being formed The university has
apparently profited by the success of
political campaign managers in organ
tzation and the raising of funds.

Prospective Worlds Fair visit
ors will be interested In learning
that figures recently published
show that there ARE Accommodations
In st. Louis Tor 1000 more visitors
than the highest estimates of the
outside attendance. The speed with
which new Worlds Fair hotels
have risen from the earth, like
Jacks bcanstalk, within the last
six weeks, Is partly responsible for
this great increase In the known
and advertised number OF accomo-
dations, says the Globe emocrat,
and the fact that more than onc-
hall the families occupying homes
within two miles OF Forest Park
have rushed into the breach, offer
ing rooms, also largely swells the
total.
Many of the Worlds Fair hotels
are making rates OF Is cents a day
for large parties of visitors. They
will be placed two in a room. The
almost universal rate outside OF
the large downtown hotels now
agreed on is $500 a day, and AT
many private houses the rate will
be reduced to so or 10 cents a day
for each person where two occupy
the same room rather than allow
rooms to stand empty. This re.
turn to reasonable prices in every
portion of the city may be expected
within six weeks after the opening
OF the Fair, II not earlier.

FOUND AT LAST.

The general deficiency a%ppropri-
alton bill OF congress, reported last
Friday from the senate committee
includes M amendment by which
Missouri will receive practically
half a million dollars The state
is entitled to Si75, los. l3, according
to the auditor OF the war depart
mcnt, and allowance for its pay
mont In the amendment was tack
cd o n ut the request OF Senator
Cockrcll. Similar payments have
been made to other states, but In
the asc of Missouri it was found
that special legislation would be
necessary to get the allowance
made, although the business Of the
claim vas recognized, and Missouri
was on the same footing In many
respects as other states. The
amendment provides for the pay
mcnt to the state of Missouri, "on
account OF interest and other in
cidental expenses paid In connect
ion with the loans procured In
raising troops to aid the United
States in suppression Of the Rebel
lion, as set forth in senate, Si75,
1878. The loans referred to were
procured in raising troops and
equipping them. The resolution
asked the secretary of the treasury
for such an estimate, and he re-
turned the amount above mention
ed. The claim will undou btedly
be allowed. This overlooked
claim Of a democratic Legislature
since the civil war, was discovered
by a republican member anC
brought to their attention, aftel
IS years waiting.
