The anonymous article entitled
what Should College Professors be
Paid?" appearing in the May Atlantic
is of unusual timeliness and interest
In view of Mr.. Carnegie's recent gift,
| it is particularly valuable that the
| everyday demands upon a college pro
fessor's meagre income should be put
in concrete form. This the writer has
done from figures carefully tabulated
over period of nine years. The start
ling conclusions reached justify even
larger gifts than Mr.. Canegie's.

Gus diseases and the possibility, first

The June number of Everybodys
brings to us the crucial installment of
"FrenZied Finance" MrLawson's init
mate recital of the First Great Crime
of Amalgamated. The happenings of
that now famous midnight session at
the National City Bank on May 4, 1899
when Henry H. Rogers and James Still
man introduced an infamous bogus sub
scription and defrauded and robbed
thousands, are clearly and dramatically
| told. Here are facts-facts about a
conspiracy of which the public has
never before had an intimation. This
elaborate account of the methods by
which the public was fieeced will be a
startling revelation. 1t is a marvellous
! piece of literary work Mr.. Lawson has
set before us. Never has his wonderful
power of vivid description been so
marked as in the account of the events,
hour by hour of that eventful day. No
modern writer could portray more bril-
liantly and realistically the scene of the
money worshipers croWding about Mr..
Lawson in the Woldorf-Astoria eager
for inside information. Verify it's the
South Sea Bubble all over again.
