feeble"
That would be point gained
Then If you could prove that you went
in search of him it would be set
against the assertion of the defendant
that he had no brother, and his re-
fusal to tell why and when he went.
If 1t could be shown by any means
where you lost your sense of personal
knowledge, how the defendant pos
sessed himself of your ring. or any
point of similar consequence, it would
be of material aid. Something that
somebody may have noticed occurred

Philadelphia, April 29.-Much diver

the day by officials of the University
of Pennsylvania concerning Mr.. Car

fund for college professors who are.
unable to continue in active service.
Members of the administrative de-

praise. Members of the teaching force
viewed the~matter with disfavor.
DR.. John Bach McMaster, who holds
the chair of history at the University

opposed to the principle of the gift.

and particulars of the mysterious
method OF construction by which Mr..

cent higher in efficiency than any
thing now afioat, but they obtained
little satisfaction. The few superior
officers who took part in the secret
