COMPARES YALE
 AND HARVARD

East Orange, N. J., Jan. 23.-Presi- dent Arthur T. Hadley of Yale Univer- sity was the principal speaker at the annual dinner of the Yale Alumni As sociation of Essex County. which was held here last night. In answering the question What is the sort of wisdom that a university should teach and that her students should learn?" he compared the university ideals of Har- ward with those of Yale.
 i Harvard stands for the position that a man should complete his college course before beginning professional study" he said. Let it be a short course if he will-three years instead of four-but let him be devoting those three years to culture and not to pro- fessional work. Yale. on the other hand. encourages a man to study the theory of his profession as a part of the work for the bachelors degree We believe in this policy, not simply because it saves the time of the stud ent, though that is a great incidental advantage but because it also 1n- creases the students intensity of ap- plication. Where Harvard insists on making the student broad at the risk of allowing him to grow weak, Yale insists on making him strong at the risk of allowing him to grow narrow. Time alone can show which of these principles is the better. Each place has problems enough of it's own not to spend time criticising the work of others

Husbands to Burn.

The elderly spinster in the rear of the drawing room car had no more than settled in her seat when her at tention was attracted to a woman a little farther front who was garbed in the deepest mourning. AS Miss Spinster adjusted her nose grabber glasses for better inspection of the one in widows weeds she saw the conductor lean over and converse with her earnestly for several minutes.
 When the conductor got back to her seat taking the passengers tickets Miss Spinster was consumed with cu- hosity about the woman in mourning.
 Conductor" she asked in her sweet est tones, whats the trouble with the lady up there in widows weeds?'
 "Oh, that's Mrs. Gettem?' replied the obliging conductor. She's just taking her third husband out to crematory.'
 "Oh, how dreadfuly' exclaimed Miss, Spinster. And then in a faraway voice she added: w -@. .4$ se
 And just think of it! Here am past fifty and never had a husband in my life, while that woman up there has them to burnr'-New York Times.

MAIN STREET
 REALTY VALUES
for Wheeler Property
 Voices Protest.
Says Men Who Are Devel- oping City Should at Least Be Allowed Three Per ent. Income on In veStment.>

It was stated this morning that William B. and Archer c. Wheeler who own the greater part of the Security building and the building occupied by <leban & Gelman, were going to file a protest against the increase in real estate values in Main street, and would appear before the Board of Relief.
 A Farmer reporter talked this morn ing with Frederick c. Nichols, agent for the Security building and represen- tative of the heirs of Nathaniel Wheeler. He said: .I don't think MT. w. B. Wheeler woulf care to rush into type concerning the increases in land values. I know that the task of be- ing an assessor is a difficult one and they have undoubtedly done what they thought was best. There is but lit tie encouragement, however, to erect costly buildings to improve Bridgeport depending upon the future to get re- turns. The assessors at least ought to allow owners an opportunity to get a 3 per cent. return for their money. The Security building is an expensive structure and there is five times the office space in Bridgeport that there was five years ago. What the invest ors have done to help the city should be taken into consideration. If the offio es in the building were all rented it would be different thing. It looks as though the assessors had devoted too much attention to the business center of the city,

HORSE TRADE ACTION GOES ON THOUGH
 DEPENDANT IS DEAD

In the Common Pleas Court this morning Judge Scott decided that the suit of Nathan Halper, a local furni- ture dealer of 1449 Main street against the late Louis Spivak still held good. Sigmund Loewith and Harris Goldberg acting as executors of the estate of Louis Spivak tried to have the 5000 damage suit which Halper had against the deceased MT. Spivak annulled on the grounds that as the defendant was dead the suit was dead also. The suit grew out of sale of horse by Spivak in February 1907 to Halper, claiming that the horse was in good condition, had good wind, etc. Hal per first tried the horse on Washing tons Birthday, and received a kick in the leg from the quadruped which compelled him to use crutches for some time He brought suit against Spivack, who has since died, claiming that the horse sale was misrepresent- ed, and claiming damages for his in juries. Thus the old case is still on the docket.

 The enthusiastic welcome which has been extended to MT. Richardson and his family, makes it certain that the church will be filled on the night of the installation.
 It is expected that the members of other churches in the city will be present to enjoy the very fitting cere- mony which is being prepared. Some notable men are to take part in this service; namely, pr. w. P. Stevenson, of Yonkers, New York, a very promi- nent Presbyterian minister, pastor of the largest church in the Presbytery. Rev. John A. Ingham, of Irvington- -on-

Tho Nervoue Mother.

An Atchison woman who is very nervous and inclined to worry is the mother of a boy. She recently read of boy who was killed while roller skating and immediately put her sons roller skates in the fire. Another newspaper told of boy who was. kill ed riding the street cars, and as boys are frequently killed while walking by street cars running over them she chained her boy to the font door. Then she read of boy who died of blood poisoning caused by his shoe rubbing his heel. and her boys shoes and stockings came oil. The story of boy who bit of button on his waist and choked to death resulted in her taking off her boys clothes. ' He had left only flannel shirt, and she is reading now that wearing flannel shirts is the cause of great mortality and Is thinking of removing that.-- Atchison Globe.

Nero's Golden House.


 The golden house. of Nero seems from all accounts to have been the most stupendous dwelling place ever built for a mortal man. Even if we regard the ancient descriptions as somewhat exaggerated it remains one of the largest royal houses ever built, and the internal decorations seem to have been incomparably magnificent It was surrounded by parks, woods and pools of great size, which appear to have been entirely within the walls. The colonnades' of the house itself ex- tended a mile in length and crossed one of the main thoroughfares of the city. The cities of the east were ran sacked for masterpieces of Greek art for the interior. The walls shone with gold and pearls, and the roof rested on marble columns of enormous size and beauty.-New York American.

Patti Wanted Her Money.

she had her salary either paid or so
fully assured that there was no doubt
as to her getting It, When she sang
at the Academy of Music, In New
York, at one time the manager was
sorely put about to find money to pay
her, but she always stoutly refused to
sing until she had her salary.
One night at Il quarter past her
representative went to him and said
Madam is all dressed except her
shoes. She will put those ON when
she gets the money"
The manager, half distracted, rushed
about the house and succeeded in rails.

Patti smiled dolefully, exhibited the
tips Of her feet and said: "You see,

Almost crazed, the manager rushed
out and discovered that the other
