A student convention at the state university has passed a resolution ueploring the fact that "the people of the state do not realize the benefits to the college in the way of developing class and college spirit." However, as the level of civilization is lifted by the influence of higher education there will possibly be a nearer approach on the part of the crude populace to that pinnacle of culture when the print of a bout heel in a freshman's face or a largo piece bitten out of a sophomore's

In the libel suit of Margaret II. Brown against the Granville (X. Y.) Sentinel the jury decided in favor of the defendant. The case grew out of the published account in the Sentinel
of the separation of Mrs. Brown from her husband four weeks after their marrage, the paper giving Mr. Brown's version. The plaintiff admitted the correctness of that portion of the objectionable article which stated that she and her husband had separted and that she received a consideration of $1,100. That portion of the article which, on the statement of her husband, charged her with being a "common scold a nil theatcning to kill him," was the bone of contention. Under the present libel laws of Xew York it is necessary for an editor or publisher to prove that a statement in a paper, even by another person, is true. The court held that there was no libel per se in the charge that she was a "common scold." The question was as to whether or not tho Sentinel editor was guilty of libel in publishing the husband's statement that the plaintiff had threatened his life.

Latest Movements in Induxirial Centers, by Exclusive Wire to Lake County Times,
NEW YORK LETTER. j Xew York, Feb. 13. The stock market resumed its upward movement after the holiday of yesterday. Prices started the day strong and higher with a broader and more geenral activity than at any aime in the past two weeks. The entire list participated in the advance. Of the chief features, Great Northern, Northern Pacific and the Freat Northern Ore stocks were the strongest. These particular specialties have been laggards during the past week but today a buying wave appeared which brought about a substantial rally of about three points in the railroad properties and ono point in the Ore stock. The buying was ascribed more to shorts covering who had become too aggressively bearish than any change in the technical condition of the market.

It Is so inherently dramatic that it does not require, as another case might, the art of a forsenlc I'.eiasco. And fifteen or twenty years ago Delmas was physically superior and intellectually surely not inferior to the Delmas of today. Why, then, was fame so tardy in discovering him? How does it happen that nfter so brilliant and industrious career for hard work is at the bottom of Delmas' achievement recognition should have come to him in his old age out of a case that hardly puts his talents to a strain? Of course, tho reason is that in New York he is in the focus of men's minds; In tho center of the stage where tho spot light plays. San Francisco is in the wings where only a very few can see a man performing. Geographical position is an important factor of success. It has put mediocre men into the

Carlo, 111., Feb. 13. A steamboat man named Williams, whoso home is in Montreal, is a xatient in the United States marine hospital here, afflicted with a disease known as anaesthetic leprosy, which manifests itself principally by the insensibility of the patient to pain. There is little disease of the skin, only a few white patches appearing on the chest and limbs. The patient has been in the hospital about
a week, and Dr. G. JM. Gmteras, surgeon in charge, will ask Dr. J. A. Egan, secretary of the Illinois state board of health, as to what disposition to make of Williams. At present tho patient is isolated, although Tr. Guiteras does not think that it is necessary, as there is little chance of contagion. "There are as many as twenty-five cases of leprosy in Illinois," said Dr. Guiteras Monday afternoon. The United States has a leper colony in the Hawaiian island and the patient might be sent there."

KNEW WHAT HE WANTED. Astute Yankee Made Money by Wearing Queer Pair cf Trousers.
Our market today should consistently show some steadiness as compared Avith Friday and Saturday. It is difficult to believe that the money market will show more than temporary strength in call money rates and the speculative position of most stocks is still strong in many issues presenting a safe level for operations. Baruch brothers are big buyers of Union Pacific; this is good buying.
Canadian Pacific showed a heavy tone which was purely on the approach of the London settlenient and has probably no significance. There Is still a fairly extended bull account in all Canadian stocks In London, but it Is not nearly so largo as It was at the beginning of the year.
Reports from tho board say that
supporting orders are under the active list and there was covering reported for certain accounts on the appearance
of these buying orders.

Initial operations was small in vol ume.

A Massachusetts man tells a story of "Old John" Langley, a veteran Wor
cester horseman, that is illustrative of
Yankee astuteness.
One day Lansley sought his tailor and in somewhat profane terms demanded "a pair of breeches of the best stutf in the shop." Of tho many samples submitted "Old John" hit upon a beautiful silky broadcloth, the most costly piece of goods the tailor had, and, although this was most unsuitable for tho purpose, Langley insisted that it was just what he wanted. Furthermpre, he declared that he desired it "made up wrong side out." The tailor expostulated in vain, but the trousers were made a3 per specifications, and delivered. A day or so thereafter a friend, calling on Langley, remarked on the trousers in uncomplimentary language. Langley said he was satisfied. More Ruying resulted in an offer from "Old John" to bet J50 that the cloth cost more per yard than that in his friend's trousers. Tho bet was taken and tho tailor was to declda it. He named tho price. The friend would not believo that the rough goods could be so costly until he was shown the shiny silky side. Then he paid, as other men had on similar bets, so that "Old John" reaped quite a harvest on his original idea.

Once in the Sudan, having inadvertently injured a lizard's tail by switching his riding whip, he was rendered miserable for days by the remembrance of it. At Woolwich he spent much time and care in trying to cure a canary belonging to a lady friend of his which had broken its leg. No man has written more feelingly of tha horrors of war or has more strongly denounced those who enter upon it with a light heart. To him it was a dreadful necessity, and nothing could justify its employment but the hope of putting an end to some evil greater still. When he quitted China he wrote to hi3 mother: "I know I shall leare China as poor aa when I entered it, but with the knowledge that through my weak instrumentality upward of SO.000 to 100,000 lives have been spared. I need no further satisfaction than this." His sole object in undertaking the administration of tho Sudan was to put down the slave trade.

LIVERPOOL MARKETS.
Liverpool, Feb. 13. Wheat closed Vi
to U lower;
Chicago. Feb. 13. WHEAT Liverpool cables were quoted one-quarter
lower ; tne itussian situation not as bad as first reported and too much company on the long side of the market brought about a reaction In prices
this morning. Larger receipts at all of the principal markets; excellent
weather conditions throughout the 1 winter wheat belt were a few of the bearish factors. The market lost about three-eighths of a cent at the closing price tonight compared with Monday's final sale. CORN Ruled a shade weaker; trade not large and more or less of tho professional character. A few scattered selling orders by commission houses caused a slight set back In values. Receipts were not as large as expected on account of the car shortage. Sales to the seaboard were SO.OOO bushels. The markat closed steady. OATS -A shado lower, although the volume of speculative business was smaller ihan for some time. The cash
trade, however, was on a large scale, there beicj over 200,000 bushels sold to domestic consumers from this rr.arI

The following anecdote is told of a most careful and sedate druggist in Keene, N. II. a gentleman of the old school, who for E0 years occupied the same corner, and who, in all his dealings medicinal, is a very scrupulous man. Not long since a person of not particularly liberal practices, and withal a close man, came to the good Samaritan with a recipe that he wished put up, and the man of drug3 proceeded at once to attend to it.
While engaged in weighing out the
compound, the customer, with a smile
ntended to be "childlike and bland,"
said to him:
"Now, Doc, be sure and give mo
good measure."
The druggist paused, holding tho
scales at rest while he looked over hia
spectacles at the man before him.
"Sir," he replied solemnly, "if I wero
to give you the merest grain more
than this recipe calls for, you would b
in hell in five minutes."
The buyer didn't persist.
Civilization Doubted. A Rock Island engineer at Ilerlngton was talking about the duplicity ot farmers who bring claims against railroad companies for the killing ot blooded stock when, as a matter of fact, the animals were walking scarecrows. "About four years ago," said the engineer, "before the Rock Island bought the Choctaw, I was on an engine on the Choctaw Northern run above Geary. Gray daylight was Just coming on, bo as one could see pretty well ahead, and I noticed two horse3 on the track. They didn't appear to mind the whistle or the bell and I slowly drew up to them and stopped. The horses, two poor, old, worn-out plugs, were still standing across the road, and on climbing down off the engine to drive them away I found that the hoofs cf their forefeet were spiked down to the planks at the road crossing the track. How's that for a civilized country?" Kansas Citv Times.

In order, as the trading element will not hold stocks for any material ad

this is the proper course to pursue for

Some twenty-five years ago one of the village characters of Stockbridge,
Mass., was an old darky named Horace
Bird.
Coming home one evening, consider
ably fuddled, to his tumble-down
shack" which stood on the outskirts
of the village, and was surrounded by
a board fence, he found the latch ot the gate broken, making it a matter ot
considerable difficulty to open the gate
from the outside. His wife, a buxom person upon whom he largely depended for support, related hi3 subsequent proceedings to me when she brought our washing next day. Said she: "Dat fool nifger he fumble de latch fo' mo'n ten minutes. Den he heave a big sigh an' start a-ciirnbin' de fence, an' I gits de roll In' pin handy. He gits ober de fence at las' and bang de gate wide open from de Inside. Den wha's dat crazy nigger do but climb back ober de fence an' walk in troo de gat Jes' like a major gln'ral."
