 The length of the session depends upon the trial of Judge Swayne. He will be impeached by the house, and it is difficult to see how the senate can avoid it's duty to try him. Not less than four weeks would be added to the session on account of the trial, and the senators are hoping they can escape an extension of the session by means of Swayne's resignation.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

fially recovering, returned to work. until at last paralysis rendered her helpless cripple. After spending all her money in vain endeavor to find relief for two weary years, the girl finally gave up hope and rented an humble room in a tenement where she contrived to eke out a scanty existence by toiling at her ease. As she dragged herself about the room she had little to look forward to, save a welcome death. It was in this condition that the young artist was discovered by pr. Milton H. Berry, masseur who Is also young. Dr. Berry began to treat the artist with out pay and finding that her life in the tenement was retarding her recovery he raised 9 fund and had her moved to a hospital. Now the girl Is restored to health and will return to her work with renewed energy. Her recovery is consid- cred wonderful by specialists, and all that now remains is to complete the romance by having the two young people marry. They would do that in a book, anyway.
 It is reported that the authorities of the Illinois penitentiaries will abolish stripes
 
 brown and gray, which will take away much of the responsiveness of the old suits Stripes will be used only in extreme cases when the criminal Is Tn disgrace and the prison authorities wish to punish him for his misdemeanors. The brown or gray uniform wll indicate the class of the con- vict wearing 1t. While at bottom 1t ia hard to see why one kind of convict suit is any worse to wear than another, even a criminal Is not without those prejudices which make Up so large a part of daily life. A striped suit may be better made. warmer, and more comfortable than one of gray or brown but the latter will be preferred every time, simply because stripes have been associated with prison life for so many years. When man Is a convict the mere matter of clothes should have little weight, for he is rarely viewed by anyone else besides his fellow convicts and the prison officials, and whatever he may wear he cannot hide the fact that he is in prison. Yet it is a great comfort to take off the hated stripes for something else that Is but lit- tie different.
 A certain New York pastor has set good example that should be followed by clergymen who are leaving their fiocks in charge of a new man. Before depart ing this divine gave his congregation parting lecture how to treat their new pastor, including in his remarks number of donts' that should make his success sor everlastingly grateful. From a lay, mans point of view 1t seems rather diff cult to get along with fashionable con- gregation, under the most favorable con- ditions. and 1t is good plan for the pas tor who is leaving his flock to prime both the congregation and the new preacher on the marked peculiarities of each. so there will be no misunderstanding. It is to be supposed that a divine who has had charge of a church for several years Is well acquainted with the vagaries of his flock and could give some valuable advice to his successor, as to the best way to avoid trouble.

NR. EDUARD MEYER, professor 01 of law in the University of Ser
 I lin. and one of the savants at- tending the convocation exercises at the University of Chicago, has thrown that ''staid" institution into furor by telling the students that there Is nothing like beer and sword duels for creating an academic atmosphere. The professor waxed SO enthusiastic in his eulogy of the flowing stein that he failed to note the mortified glances with which he was re- garded and went on to say that he was in favor of doing almost any old thing to make the students have good time. Of course the students are willing to give him their cordial support in this com mendable project but unfortunately the American way of having a good time differs slightly from the German, and while great many husky youths could be found to consume all the beer neces- sary. very few would consider duel with swords more interesting than tilt on the football field. Then 1t must be remem bered that Dr. Harper Is a Baptist and whatever the papers may say in testing mood about the University of Chicago professors, or their original views the fact remains that the code of morals Is rather strict. and 1t is hardly probable that Dr. Harper will subscribe to a course Of beer and sword play as an addition to his curriculum. Professor Never Is evidently a good fellow, however. and the male students of the university should take him out and show him the city.
