Town and Gown.

In the thousand years Of it's history
Oxford has never had a mayor from
the university. That event now, ap-
parently, impends. The election OF
Rev. William Edward Sherwood, mas
ter Of arts of Magdalen and Christ
church, is considered certain. Though
not born in Oxford, Mr.. Sherwood was
an Oxford boy, educated in the Mag
dalen college school. This long-de-
ferred choice of an academic mayor
originates In the antagonism which
used to exist between town and gown,
an antagonism which has long since
been outgrown in Oxford but which Is
readily understandable from the ex.
perience of younger academic commu-
mites. In the old academy towns OF
New England the feeling used to run
high, because education was then the
privilege of the few. AS education in
creasingly comes within the grasp OF
the many this antagonism eVaporates
Of itself. The probable election Of Mr..
Sherwood as mayor of Exford may be
read as an expression, trife belated
perhaps, that in Oxford at least these
old enmities are entirely past.

I requested Mr.. White to give it
his attention as I was at that
time very busy, the bill passed

received a written opinion from
the county attorney which says
in effect that magistrates are
required to do this service with
out pay, so when it came up in
the senate I had the bill killed.

additional pay, I do not think it

the commissioners refused the
claim, because the law required
the service from the officer, it
altered the situation, and the
claim will not be paid. A.

Captivated by Waiting Room.

The prefect Of Paris police has two
waiting rooms for visitors. One is for
men. It is dark and rather dingy. The
baroness Of the walls is relieved by a
railway map Of France and On the
table is directory. But the womens
waiting room is furnished with far
greater care. In the corner is superb
Louis XIV. dressing table provided
with all kinds of articles, even rice
powder, lip pencils, carmine, sprays
containing scent to suit all tastes, bot
ties Of toilet water and a manicure
set It is believed that the new prefect
found on first assuming Office that
women with whom he had appoint
nents on official affairs were often
late. It is understood that the only
disadvantage which he now finds IS
that his doorkeeper has difficulty in
convincing visitors that their turn has
come to leave the waiting room for tho
projects Office.

TURK BLAflES ALL ON GOD
w. Y. Morgan Writes of the Astound-
ing FataIism of the Subjects Of
the Sultan.

The Turk is the only real gentleman
In Europe, measured by the standard
that a gentleman is a man who won't
work and doesn't work. The Turk Will
fight, he will endure, he will fast, he
will die, but he will not work. He
does not get the idea at all. For gen.
erations back he has been a soldier
and a governor of conquered people
who provided him with means Of sup
port, or he killed them or they killed
him. There was no word in the die
tionary of his life which meant hard
labor or wise management. His wants
were simple, wife or two, more Il he
could afford them, bread, tobacco and
time to think. His education consisted
II learning to read the Koran and in
discussing philosophical questions. AS
a governor of the conquered he failed
because he had no executive ability,
no foresight, no common sense. HIS
only idea was to get all he could out
of the taxpayers now and let the sd-
ture take care of itself He built DO
roads, he developed no mines, he in
vented no process or machine.
He merely enjoyed the life that was
before him, considered all other peo-
pie beneath his notice and rested as
sured that in the sweet bye and bye
he would n heaven with houris to-
comfort him IN the million of years to-
come. If he lost a fght-it did not
matter, it was only fate. If Bulgaria
won her independence-fate. If Italy
took Tripoli-fate. He fought to the
finish, but did not worry about his
losses and right now when his coun-
try is apparently going to smash and
the high cost of living has reduced the
ordinary Turk to small victuals and
only one wife, he calmly puts all the
responsibility on his god and sits and
meditates as he did when everything
was coming his way. Like the Chris
tian, he believes that God moves in
a mysterious way his wonders to per-
form," but unlike the Christian he ac'
cepts what happens as being the will
| Of Coo and therefore to be accepted
by his people-W. Y. Morgan in the

COUNTING Molecules,

A French mathematician has tried
to convey to our minds some notion
Of the inflnitesimal size of the mole
cule. He declares that il a person
were to try to count the number Of
molecules in cubic millimeter Of hy-
drogen gas, taking one-billionth of
second to repeat each number, the
task would occupy him for more than
1000 years.-Youths Companion.

Corn Test at Sergeantsville.

The New Jersey Experiment
Station will have a corn demonstra-
ton meeting on the farm of j.
Walter Allen, just west of Ser
geantsville, on Friday afternoon,
October 80.
The corn will be taken from
sample patches planted by Mr..
Allen, under the direction of Prof.
John H. Voorhees,, of the New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Stations, the seed being secured
from a score or more of farmers in
the vicinity of Sergeantsville.
Each sample was secured from
lots used for planting, and on Mr..
Aliens farm they were planted in
separate lots, under similar con-
ditions. The soil, moisture, fertili-
cation and cultivation were alike,
but the difference in seed is ex-
pected to show quite a variation
in results. The record of each lot
of corn will be given, and addresses
will be made.

0NM HON. C. M. THOMAS.

The State w. c. T. u. to-day issued
the following card from the home of
Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp:
THE w C. T. u. CARD.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union of Kentucky, and especially of
the Seventh District, through it's gen.
eral offices, most heartily commends
the decided public stand taken by the
Hon. Claude M. Thomas, candidate
for Congress from the Seventh Con-
gressional District, on his attitude in
support of the amendment for Ma
tional Prohibition now pending in the
United States Congress, and we do
hereby pledge to him our most hearty
support.
We believe, with him, that "the peo-
pie are land of right should be, the
final tribunal by which all matters of
government policy are determined"
and that such an amendment as the
Hobson- Sheppard bill, which submits
this important question to the people
of the United States, is a most demo-
cratic measure
1t is widely known that Mr.. Hobson
in the House and Senator Sheppard
in the Senate, are DESTROYS of the bill
remaining on the calendar, and that it
shall not be referred to the rules COM
mittee, represented by Hon. ]. G. Can
trill, of Kentucky, in order that the
bill, which empowers Congress with
the right to enforce the law, may be
amended giving both the State and
the general Assembly this power.
We believe that the bill would pass
by the necessary majority if left until
next December, and we regret that
Mr. Cantrill has allied himself with
the liquor interests of the country in
thus fastening the vote on this ques-
ton.
We trust that all true temperance
men will cast their vote this fall only
for men who are committed to this
prohibition bill, regardless of party
lines. Kentucky has shown in her
local option elections that a large ma
jority of her people are for the prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic, and we be-
lieve that this question, in order to be
settled, and to be settled right, should
be allowed to come up to the people
for vote.
