The Poet and Journalist Criticizes the Grand Old Man.

Nuw Yosk, October 1.—Sir Edwin Arnold, who is still visiting President Eliot st Harvard, was interviewed yesterday on subjects that ha has not before already discussed during his rialt. Talking to a correspondent, he thus compared Harvard with Oxford: "The system of discipline at Harvard differs materially from that in vogue at Oxford. In the English school the discipline is quite rigid. The college gates are closed at a certain hour of the night, and the students are supposed to be within college limits at that time. There are other restrictions that are designed to keep the members of the university more or tees In check. •“At Harvard no such strictness of discipline prevails. The students are given a liberty, aud each man is thereby thrown upon his own responsibility. The effects of the two systems sre, ofconrse, widely different. The discipline of Oxford inspires in the men a respect lor authority and a reverence for the college officials, and develops In them a tine sense of courtesy. On the other hand, it seems to occasion among them a tendency to shirk their work and violate authority somewhat.”

CgiCAOo, October L—In the City Council last night there wae a pervading sentiment of opposition to allowing any more corporations to perform and control public functions. This sentiment was displayed in a number of ways.

One Democrat Gets a Place.

Washington, October 1.—General B. M. Prentias, appointed postmaster at Bethany, Mo., is a Democrat. He owes his appointment to Secresary Noble, to whom he applied last winter for a place. Noble speaks of him as a splendid fellow and fine soldier, and adds that he does not in such a case care what a man’s

politics is. General Prentiss’s entire command, with himself at its head, was captured at the battle ot Shiloh, and there has been

much controversy over the facts.

The Cronin Murder Case. Chicago, October 1.—Judge McConnell refused to grant suspect Kunze, a defendant in the Cronin case, a bill of the evidence offered against him before the Grand Jury. A brief session of Judge McConnell’s court was held this morning. The court announced

Judge 1 , and the

court adjourned.

A Laborers’ League In Ireland. Dublin, October 1.—The form laborers of County Clare are indignant at the farmers, who, they claim, are using the National League for their own profit, while they oppose in every way the interests of the laborers. A meeting has been called by the laborers, at which it was resolved to form a Laborers’ League and to demand the power to elect members to the local boards.

Here’s Trouble for Somebody.

Bomb, October 1.—The Pope has appointed Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Riordan and another Western Bishop to investigate affairs under Biahop Gilmour in the Diocese of Cleveland, O. The state of things in the Archdiocese of New York is unsatistactory, too. Dr. Corrigan has been summoned to Rome.

Pleuro-Pneumonia in England.

make a certain statement as to the result until the votes hsve been counted. Changes in district lines, tbe arrival of new citizens since the last Territorial election and then the consequent lack of data on which to base predictions makes the prophet business a losing one. Still, the last vote for delegate and the canvass by th* two parties indicate the result

above stated.

Washington’s capital fight will probably not be settled until a later election, a majority vote being required, but each of the South Dakota capital competitors is confident of winning, although the contest seems to have narrowed down to Pierre and Huron, with Sioux Falls and Mitchell not far behind. The New York Democrats. Syracuse, N. Y., October 1.—Rumors of a smashed slate on account of opposition Of New York mexl to certain candidates are tbe only topics of discussion this morning. It is said that both Tammany and the County Democracy are determined' to support some other candidates for Attorney General and Comptroller than Tabor and Wemple. It is pretty certain that both organizations would support Senator Foley as a candidate for the Attorney Generalship. The convention hall was crowded when at 12:15 Edward Murphy, as Chairman of the State Committee, cUled the convention to order and announced the action of the State Committee in nominating Edward A.

Westminster, Md., October 1.—This is an off year—a State Comptroller the only office to be filled—and so there is not quite the usual interest manifested in the Republican State Conventiqp. The platform resolutions favor: 1. The enactment of a registration and election law which embraces the salient feature of tbe Australian ballot system. 2. The restriction and regulation of the liquor traffic—virtually high license. 3. The reassessment of property throughout the State, the latest one being made in 1876. 4.

The Republican organ (ays the opposition haa abandoned foots and figure*. One would think, from the ipooe given daily in the Journal to explanations of the exposures made by The New*, that foots and figures have been only too abundant to auit the terrified gang which haa been squandering city funds. Denny (unindorsed) is still staying np night* looking for foots and figures to bolster his disastrous administration. He has never stumbled across the following, however: The streets are in worse condition now, and more has been spent on them than at any time since the city fiscal year was made to coinwith the catanaer year.

Artesian Well That Causes Hair to Grow and Restores Its Color.

Information, which the bearer declares reliable, comes from the village of Spencer and attributes amazing qualities to the waters of the artesian well at that place. At first blush the story sounds as though the ambitious Spencerians were determined to have a well that will outdo those at Martinsville or any other town in the State. , W. 8. Johnson, a well-known citizen of that town, has been taking baths for some time, partly as a matter of patriotic duty and partly in the hope that he might be benefited in general. Much to his delight, when the baths had been continued about /long enough to begin to have effect he observed that a fine, thrifty growth of young hair was springing up thickly all over a shining bald spot which bad long ornamented the zenith of his bead. At about the same time, and scarcely less phenomenal, is the statement that the white beard of W. T. Alverson, another prominent citizen, who was taking the baths regularly, began to change back to its original raven hue. It is also reported that after carefully investigating the truth of these statements herein recorded, Judge John C. Robinson, also oi Spencer, immediately began taking the baths with great regularity and frequency. OBITUARY.

the water #ong here is so slight that a four-foot dam would make a lake extending up stream five or six miles. The

water would be quiet and clear and always

fresh, no matter how long the summer drouths might prove to be. Along the city’s front the numerous bridges, over which long trains arc speeding every hour of the day, and the constant travel of street cars, wagons and foot passengers make a picture of life and bustle

pleasant to behold from the water below. Or

if the boating parties desired quiet and country scenes they could run np the lake from a mile to five miles and find scenery romantic

enough to please any artist. The banks are

high and grassy and big sycamore trees bend above the water and almost mingle their lofty tops across the stream. The river winds along its shores in a hundred curves, and at every turn new views are discovered. “Cost? Well, the cost wouldn’t be very

much. The dam wouldn’t need to be an expensive affair. I know a number ot well-to-do men who would make very liberal donations to the project if it were once set going. The cost would be trifling compared to the benefit which it would bring to the city.

Live Stock Conuuiasion Argument. The suit in which the State Live Stock Commission is attorn ptingto com pel State Auditor Carr to issue warrants upon the treasury for the payment of its expenses haa been set for argument before a general term of the Superior Court next Monday. The question to be decided is whether the act making the appropriation for the expenditures of the Commission is sufficiently explicit to be constitutional.

‘Pay for it? " retorted the statesman from Ward Eighteenth. “Well, I guess I won’t. I put that stdne on the streets tor tbe benefit of the tax-payers, and I don’t propose to pay for it out or my own pocket by a jug foil. I Will settle.with them fellows in open Council." “How do you propose to settle with them?” “Well, you will see how, I have had some experience in street making, and 1 know it-1 had had tbe fi2,000 that the Street Commissioner claims to have spent this year I could have hod every street in Indianapolis in first-

This he denies with • good deal of vigor. “The statement is simply a barefaced lie.” said be to a News reporter this morning, “circulated, leuppoae, by persons who would like to see me defeated.
