Discredits Jonah Theory.

A demonstration that the whale could
never have swallowed Jonah unless hi
was a very slim man is given on the
site of old Marsh Market, where whale
seventy feet long is on exhibition be-
meath a tent.
The throat of the whale is only about
five inches in diameter, and the exhib'
itor says that whales throat is never
larger than that.
The whale is said to have been caught
in the Arctic Sea by the whaling steam
ship Neptune and towed to the shore
where it was chemically treated and
"embalmed" in arsenic, ten months be-
ing required to complete the work. The
exhibitor says that the whale weighed
10000 pounds when killed; that sixty
barrels of oil were taken from its body
and 10000 small herring from its stom-
ach.-Baltimore Sun.

The Salaries That Professors and
Tutors In Harvard Receive.
Only a few Harvard professors get
$1,000 a year. The cost Of living and
the demands of life In general have
greatly increased, but no increase has
come in the etipends Of these able and
hardworking men.
In 1865 a full professor got from
$500 to $333.32, with an average OF
$2,273; tutors We're paid an average OF
81 ,097. %; instructors. an average Of
$54S; assistants received salaries be.
tween 1915 and $416.6T.
Today a full professors salary Is
1000, an associate professors $500
an assistant professors $1,000, an In
structor's $1,000 or less. an assistants
between $3.50 and $500
In the course of the thirty-seven
years which have passed since 1868 nj
most all other persons on salary have
had their compensation raised to suit
the times. 1t costs professor much

of learning and Of teaching for their
own sakes which could induce a gift

The alumni OF Harvard, however,
have taken the matter up and are en-
deavoring To bring about better state
of things. believing that in so doing
they are working in the interest not
only of their own college, but OF every

subscriptions are said to have been
promised, and Harvard professors may
soon be paid as wei as bank clerks

FINDS HIDDEN $4,000.
Man Buys Ancient House and Gets ;
Pleasant Surprise.


City Of Mexico, June TIA romantic
discovery of long-hidden treasure has
been made here in an ancient house on
Arrecogidas street in the Oldest part OF
the city. Not long ago, the house,
which was small one, was sold by
the owner, Senior Galindo, for $4,000,
The new owner on examining the floor
in room near the court yard found the
timbers rotten and proceeded to make
repairs. The workmen came upon a
welI.built masonry channel, or conduit,
leading to an old well in the patio and
on examining the tube they found coins
and yaluables to the amount Of $780,
600.
While Senior Galindo owned the house
the room under which the discovery was
made was occupied by police officer,
who told him that he frequently saw the
shadowy form of an old woman sitting
on the edge Of the we'll in the patio,
and that he soon determined that she
was ghost, for he could poke stick
through the apparition. He said to
the owner:
"This house must have treasure which
the old woman is guarding" But no
attention was paid to the policeman's
statement.
1t Is now aseertained that the house
was owned, many years ago, by lady
who had much wealth, and stone
mason declares that he built for her
the hidden connection from the upper
part of the we'll to the house, and gave
himself no trouble about it, never think
ing it was for the depositing Of treas
ure. The story has caused sensation
in the neighborhood. The new owner
has become the legal owner of the
money.

MUSICIANS FROM THE sLuMs
The Younrest Bnndsmen In New
York's Memorial Day Parade.

The KounEest Bnndsmen In New
York's Memorial Day Parade.
A brass band recruited from among
street waits and using instruments be-
longing to the set that took the first
prize at the Centennial exposition in
1876 was one of the most striking fea-
lures Of the Memorial day procession In
New York. The band is product Of
the New York Juvenile asylum. and It
serves as popular illustration Of the
manner in which thatYell known instl-
tuition trains these dear, pathetic no
bodies as Oliver Wendell Holmes
once described them, to become useful
citizens.
The asylum, Of course, encourages
the boys to follow their bent, and nat
urally those who have any musical app
titude are quick to seize the opportu-
nifty that is denied to so many boys in
the outside world who are commonly
supposed to be more fortunately situat-
ed. This organization of promising mu-
slcians came to New York on May 80
from Dobbs Ferry, where the asylum's
new home is located on a 300 acre
farm. There the once homeless or
neglected boys receive not only the or
binary public school education. but a
thorough training In the different
trades. They have plenty Of time for
play. too, and, thanks to Evert Jansen
Wendell and other well known phiIan.
throplsts. they are fully supplied with
paraphernalia for their games.
The same band that attracted so
much favorable attention in New York
also serves to brighten the life at Dobbs
Ferry In fact, there is no suggestion
Of unnecessary restraint at that de-
lightful home-not even a fence around
the spacious grounds, In the fifty
years Of its existence the asylum has
led many a boy toward the goal Of sue
cess, and who knows but that in the
band clad In cadet gray there is In the
bud some great leader or composer,
and 1t IS also within the bounds of like
lihood that from the pleasant work
shops at Dobbs Ferry may come some
day another Bell or another Edison,
for the start In life which the boys OBJ
tain there fits them for many calllngs
and opens many avenues to future use

BEEF INQUIRY CLIMAX.
Fifteen indictments ~ the Federal
Grand jury Expected

Uianu JAy LhfSctru.
Was hington, June 1..--lmportant le
yelopments in regard to the govern
ment's proceeding against the so-called
Beef Trust are expected within the next
few days. Attorney General Moody has
decided whether indictments shall be re-
turned against the packers or not, but
be withholds his decision from the pub
lie. In view of the fact that United
States Attorney Morrison of the district
of Northern Illinois, left here for Chi
cage Wednesday, and that he was ac-
companied BY @. Fl. Pagin, special at
torney for the government in the Beef
Trust cases, it is assumed here that
the grand jury sitting at Chicago will
hand down indictments against the beef
combination and several Of its officers.
Mr. Morrison has been in Washington
for the past few weeks in daily confer
enee with Attorney General Moody and
Special Attorney Pagin. These three
have been going over the evidence COLI
lected during the recent governmental
inquiry in Chicago, in which the SER
vices Of all the expects that the attorney
general could command were utilized.
1t is understood that Mr.. Morrison was
in favor Of a prosecution from the begin
ming.
Special Attorney Pagin, who is highly
regarded in the Department of Justice,
prepared the indictments for the govern
ment in the postal conspiracy cases and
in the land frauds developed on the
Pacific coast. Opinion varies here as
to the number OF indictments that will
be returned in the beef trust cases, A
report came from Chicago several days
ago that they would number thirty.
There is good reason to believe that
not more than fifteen indictments will
be returned.
