Tor the past month there has been consld-
crnblo dlscusHlou in university circles mid
omong university students over the require
ment that each member of the senior class
Bliull , on co each term , dollvcr nn oration at
chapel exercises. A number of the students ,
whoBo heads , are cnlltrgcd by the fact that
they uro up In their classes , have exhibited
tholr lack of good breeding nnd gentlemanly
iiiRtlncts supposed to bo possessed by stu
dents , by Instigating nnd running n small
warfare of their own ogalnst this require
ment. Ono of tholr practices has been to
nbscnt themselves In a body from chapel ox-
crclscs and If an oration would como on for
hearing unexpected by them some student
Would rise and walk out of the room fol
lowed by the other recalcitrant members of
Ills chiss. At other times tlioy would adopt
the tactics of imprisoning the orator to de
feat the requirements. Why this system of
foolishness hns been allowed to extend as far
us It hat by the faculty Is an unanswered
question but it certainly tends to
wn d no harmony between students
or with the faculty itself. The
clement umont ? the students who are
trying to run things to their owntasto should
M-eure some rapid row boats nnd cultivate
their abilities rowing up and clown Salt creek.
In a very short time they would bo exports
enough lo award to one another diplomas
that would make them equal with graduates

nro so anxious to Introduce as an inhar
monious element in thostato university.
TIIK IIAl'THT COLLHOK.
The location of the Haptibt college at York
Is something of n disappointment to Lincoln
parties who nro wont to criticise the action
taken by the Baptist state convention in
locating it at that place. It is very evident
that these ciltlciHins nro not well founded.
The trouble with locating it at Lincoln nnd
with the Lincoln proposition was simply that
it was an inllutcd real cstato scheme to work
off a tract of farm land out in the country
four miles , at town lot prices , making the
donation appear to bo n largo ono at the in-
Jluted valuation when the real valuation was
practically no nioro than any farm tract en
tirely beyond the reach of tlio city. The
Methodist university has been located in this
manner thrco miles beyond the city limits.
but In its cnso much careful work and effort
will In a few years probably extend the city
limits to the university grounds and mnko
the largo tract that surrounds the campus
practically city property. Hut to expect to
extend , the city four miles out In another di
rection and make a nccond collcgoand college
grounds real city property , would bo an un-
dertaking-thnt the most enthusiastic boomers
would bo Blow in warranting a certain invest
ment , and lo the people who view the matter
calmly and reasonably the good Judgment of
the Uiiptist people In not embarking in the
echemo must bo commended.
It would have been inlliiitely bettor for the
city of Lincoln If the Methodist university
had been located two miles imaror the bust-
ness center , and If a proposition had been
KUbmlttcd to the Hiintists of the state to lo
cate a linptist college In Lincoln Instead of n
proposition to locate it out in Lancaster
county three or four miles , it would have un
doubtedly been given the attention it mer
ited. There nro no good grounds for ci ilicis-
itjg the Haptist people f6r not accepting the
proposition from Lincoln.

Tom OchlUrcc'H Snnko Story.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. [ Special to thi
DISK. ] A curious story comes to tbo Smith
Bonlan Institution from n man down In Texu
through the medium of Colonel Tom Ochy
trco. Its accuracy U vouched for by the cot
respondent , and many circumstantial detail
oi-o given to substantiate the statements mad
in the letter. The story runs as follows : i
few days ago , as the correspondent was rid
Ing through the country near Fororth , h
approached a clump of trees. There wu
nothing extraordinary about that mid th
travelr pursued tlio oven tenor of his \vaj
Suddenly his mule gave u start , and , tren
Wing violently , showed every symptom of c >
trome fear. Looking towards the trees th
rider observed rolling towards him with cor
eldcrable rapidity what appeared to bo a hooj
As It came nearer he discovered it was notl
ing more nor less than a snake , which , wit
Its tall In IU mouth , had formed Itself hit
a hoop and was bowling nlon
, merrily over the ground in his dlrcctloi
Ho tried to urge his muleon but the anlmu
paralyzed with fear , could not be drive
( aster tlmu a walk and the mysterious siiak
rapidly overhauled -them. The man , per
ceiving It was useless to urge on the poor
mule , dismounted'took to his heels , nnd ran ,
making much better time than tlio four-
footed bcast.bad dono. Arrived at u con
venient trco , ho dodged behind It and
watched. The mule was standing whcro ho
had left It close by n largo oak and the snake
Was within n few feet of It. Suddenly the
snake o ) > ciicd his mouth nnd letting go his
tall , made a ferocious blow with that portion
of his anatomy at the trembling mulo. Either
the aim was not good , or the mule In a last
attempt to escajK ) moved a little ; anyway ,
the tall Just grazed the mule's leg nnd strik
ing the trca behind , remained Imbedded
thero. The mule gave ono or two convulsive
struggles nnd then laid down and died.
Tbo culcs ? ! ' * veracious correspondent
made the best of his wily tsck to the city
nnd there related what had occurred. j\
party was organised to proceed to the spot
the next day and authenticate the story. On
arriving nt the place the body of the dead
mule was found , much swollen. The snake ,
too. was dlfecoveied fust to the trco and dead ,
while the oak Itself , which on the preceding
day had been n nourishing , strong and lively
tree , was withered up. It was found that
the snake had a horn about thrco or four
Inches long on Its tall , and It was with that
that the reptile had struck the mule and fast
ened Itself to the trco. Tlio poison emitted
through this horn-llko protuberance had
killed both the beast and the trco.
The name and address of n gentleman said
to bo nt present In this city , was given , ho
having been the witness of tlio occurrence.
From the fact that there was no such address
as that given and no such gentleman to bo
found , the story is not given much crcdenco
at the Smithsonian. Among thoncpiocsof
the south nnd also among educated white
people , there exists u firm belief In the ability
of u certain species of snnUo , popularly known
as the "hoop-snnko" to do lust what Colonel
Ochiltrcc's correspondent claims that this ono
did.
did.Throughout
Throughout the south nnd southwest there
Is n sH'cles | of serpent called the "glass
snako" from the fact , as popularly vouched ,
that , when struck , they break Into several
pieces which , If allowed to remain quietly ,
will unlto together again nnd form a complete
and perfect snake once moro. This peculiar
belief has only for Its basis the
fact that the snake being really u
species of lizard without legs or feet ,
is particularly brittle mid a slight blow
only Is required to sever its tail from Its
head. The parts do not unite together again
as is popularly believed , but n new tail glows
in place of the ono stilcKcn oft.
Another quito common belief Is that the
long , thin snake , taporlng to a fine point at
tlio tail , and called from this circumstance n
"whip snake , " will pursue a man and actually
whip him to death with his tall. The only
foundation for this superstition will probably
bo found in the stories told by the old plant
ers in former days to prevent their slaves
fiom wandering from tlio plantation nt night.
Clerks Working Too Hard.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 29. [ Special to the
Br.c. ] It may perhaps sound rather hyper
bolical but there actually are employes in the
government service who have to bo re
strained by their chiefs for fear that they
should overwork .themselves. These two ex
ceptions to the general rule are ladies who
engaged in collecting data for the labor
bureau on the condition of working women
in tliofhanufacturing districts of Now Eng
land. These ladles nro so enthusiastic in
their labors that they work day mid night
and would do so for seven days in the week
if they were not restrained by the head of
the bureau. It was necessary to intimate to
them that they would bo able to work better
If they allowed themselves suftlcicnt rest to
keep them in good health , than if they were
to woik themselves sick , as it was imminent
they would. Their report , together with the
statistics collected from other portions of the
country , will form the greater pnit of the
next year's report of the bureau.
The labor bureau has perfoimcd the feat of
making thtee annual reports in two and a
lalf years. It was not until the latter puit
of the fiscal year 1884-85 that it was organ-
Vcd and its third annual report will BOOH bo
n the bauds of the secretary of the interior ,
t is conllucd to comprehensive statistics in
cgard to the strikes which have occurred in
, ho United States during the last six years.
An idea of the amount of work entailed in its
reparation may bo gathered from the fact
: lmt it will contain n table of statistics which
done will occupy between flvo and bix
uindrcd pages of the report.

PHILADELPHIA , Oct. 09. [ Special Telegram
lo the BEE. ] Wharton Barker , speaking of
his Chinese interests nnd the unfavorable
newspaper comments upon the subject said
lo-day : "Tlio statement that a concession
for the Chinese-American bank asked for in
behalf of Vandcrbilt by my representatives
in China is , to the best of my knowledge ,
absolutely false. The scheme hns , naturally
enough , aroused the envy of certain English
interests. To tlioso who can look behind
the scenes nnd who know the route taken
by the so-culled agreement with the Vnnder-
bilts , It is plain that the name was inserted
on its way fronij Shanghai , .via London , to

some Americans that would rather see It fall
than succeed. In disproof of the assertion
that I was trading on or with the nnmo ol

"Thero Is nn unwritten cede of ethics
among commercial tiavellcrs , " said an old
vhlto-holrcd "knight of the grip" to n B B
eiKH-tcr yesterday , "that Is considered as
ilndlng upon each and every ono ns though
oath was made to obey It In every particular.
Ihls law Is known ns "professional court/-
csy. " By It 1 mean that no traveller shall
take , or seek to Uiko nny unfair advantage of
a brother salesman in the same Hue. Ono of
ho greatest acts of discourtesy that ono com
mercial man can show to another is to inter
rupt him while talking with a customer. It
s n rule , never broken by experienced men ,
o silently await their luin In case the buyer
s engaged with ono of their own craft. To
n young salesman , making his first trip , this
aw is not imperative , but they usually learn
0 respect It before they reach the end of their
rip. "
"How ! Why , the "boys" turn commercial
) cdagogucs and their teaching consists cn-
Irely of object lessons. After a youthful
aspirant to drummers' honors takes ono les
son n second ono Is rarely necessary.
. ' remember once about three years
ago in St. Louis I was showing
my samples to the dress goods
mycr In William Barr's. I was booking n
lice sale nnd had my customer just in the
iroper frame of mind to place a largo order ,
vhcn who should como in but n young 'dudo
enderroot , ' and walking up to my man pro-
bcnlcd his card and commenced talking up
he tine line of laces his house was handling.
was hofcnough to consign him to u certain
ilacowhoio no Ice salesmen will over bo
'ound. Ho was llnafly informed that the
ace buyer would not bo in until the follow-
ng day , nnd after leaving his card the youth
took his departure. Now , nothing is so dis
astrous to n salesman , especially when ho is
selling n line of specialties , ns nn interrup-
ion , and It proved so in this case. My cus-
omer had had his mind taken away from the
subject I had got him interested in , and in
stead of n very largo order I received a very
mall ono , and had hard work to get that. "
"I went back to my hotel vowing ven
geance , mid by Jingo , I pot it that very night.
. ' told several of the 'old boys' about it , and
wo concocted a scheme that worked to
> erfcction. It was this : Ono of the
joys Billy Price made it n point to
? ot acquainted with Hlco that was the
ludo's name and informed him that
.ho lace buyer at Barr's had returned and
would bo over to the hotel that night. Ho
.old Rico that ho would introduce him , but
nddcd that Smith the buyer was n man of
rcry convivial habits and if a salesman didn't
Invite in his friends and keep wino ilowing
Ills name would bo 'Dennis , ' sure. But ho
issurcd Kico that if ho did tlio square thing
lie might expect a dandy order. Well , Hlco
took it nil in and said that his house had told
dm tospaiono necessary expense mid that
ao would do the thing up brown.
"Along about 0 o'clock that night In comes
_ regg with an old traveling chum and intio-
duccs him nil mound as 'Mr. Smith,1 of Will-
'am Barr's. Ho had no sooner got seated
: ban Kico uegan to talk luces and finally
asked 'Smith' up to look at his samples.
Smith' was npparantly reluctant to go nt
Irst but Jinally consented mid wo all eight
if us marched up to Kico's room. No sooner
nid we got there than ho ordered up a half
lozcu quarts of Cliquot and a box of Heinu ,
Victorias which wo discussed before 'Smith1
? ot ready to look at the
'oods. Pretty soon 'Smith1 got
'interested , ' and after a short talk placed an
order for about .5.7,000 . worth of Vnllcncienncs.
3n the strength of this Hlco ordered up a
inlf dozen more quarts , nnd when an hour
Inter 'Smith1 selected 200 pieces of Honiton ,
valued at tl2nooRico was so elated that ho
jrdcred a fine supper for eight. Well , wo
kept it up until 'Smith' had placed orders for
nearly $40,000 mid by that time thowholo
crowd was pretty well filled up , nnd I had
the proud consciousness of knowing that I
was even with the dude. Kico's bill was
about ? 100for the right. "
"Smith told him to como over to the store
In the morning and Mr. Barr would sign the
order. Then wo went down mid got to bed
mid slept the sleep of the just , but not before
1 had written Rico a letter informing him of
the trick nnd the reason of its being played
on him. I mot him about a year ago and bo
told mo that it was the best lesson ho over
received. Some w y or other bis house got
wind of it and the only sympathy ho got from
them was , 'served you right.1"

Harrington.
General George Harrington is probably ono
> f the best known and most popular travel-
ug men on the ro&d. Ho Is a fine looking
follow with stroug physique ) imd flowing
moustache. Although ho Is just a llttlo ever
.ho sixties , ho would never bo taken for moro
ihnn forty years of ago. Ho travels
'or ' the Stein manufacturing company ,
of Rochester , N. Y. , manufacturers
) f caskets and cofilns of every prado. This
a the firm that made the celebrated and
jeautlful casket In which now repose the rc-
imlns of General Grunt. General Harring
ton Is known all over the country as nn old
soldier. At the battle of Gettysburg ho re
ceived n wound from n bullet the effects of
which ho has never fully recovered from. It
was only a little over two months ago that
: io had the memorable bullet removed from
; ils bodv. Ho immediately bad it mounted
3ii a gold bnso , and to-dny ho wears the slug
that caused him nearly twenty-four years of
suffering us a watch charm.
A Br.B reporter had the pleasure of meet
ing General Harrington , nnd when asked
about the business out-look ns regards to
wooden overcoats ho said "Tho winter trade
is opening well , nnd never before
did wo ever have a moro elaborate
or better assortment of these goods. Broad
cloth goods are perhaps the most fashionable
Ibis year , and can bo purchased in nil grades.
Some of them are satin lined , and thus make
a very ncnt garment. These goods nro nlFO
made up with broadcloth covered buttons ,
while many of the purchasers dcsiro them
with plain or carved silver trimmings. But
then what's the diffciencol It perhaps shades
the cost somewhat , but I hardly think the
wcarnr notices it. "
"But , laying jest aside , there nro truly
some very pretty designs in cofllns and cas
kets nt present , and Improvements nro being
made every day. As with every other kind
of wares these goods are made In ninny
grades , and a cofilu can bo purchased from W
up to any price that you dcsiro
to pay. Our firm is now en
gaged in making a pair of caskets for an
jld couple in Cambridge , Mass. These cas
kets are of ebony , nnd for two years wo have
had two of the most expert carvers that wo
could procure nt work on them. The old
couple visit the shops almost dally and nd-
iniro them , make the changes in the work
Lhat they desire , nnd when they leave they
seem to have the satisfaction of knowing
what they are to be buried In , and of the fact
that they are two of the most elaborate and
costly caskets over mado. I hardly think
Lhat another year's work will finish them.
but when they nro completed it will not cost
that old couple loss that $25,000 to rest in the
grave as they desired. Yes , I do hear of
some odd things in my line occasionally. The
most recent oddity that I have hoard of was
the smuggling of 45,000 worth of diamonds
from London to Now York in the mouth of a
corpse. "
I heard another good story a few days ago
An eastern undertaker had orders to send
the body of n young man who had died there
on to a small western city , whcro friends
were to bury It. The undertaker scaled the
corpse In the casket that had been ordered
und sent it west , C. O.D. , When it arrived
at the destination the friends refused to pay
; bo bills , and consequently they were not nl-
, owcd to remove the remains from the depot.
rho eastern undertaker was telegraphed to
Tor instructions , and ho immediately replied :
'Send back the casket ; never mind the
corpse.1 Acting upon this suggestion , thoex-
n-css officials opened up the box , and just ns
they were about to dump the corpse on the
floor of the baggage rooms , the friends inter
fered and paid all bills. The ruse worked
well. "

Tlio Drummer's Best Girl.
Ho hurried up to the ofllco as soon as he
entered the hotel , nnd without waiting tc
register Inquired eagerly :
"Any letter for mol"
The clerk sorted over a package with the
negligent attention that comes of practice ,
then Hipped one a very small ono on the
counter.
The traveling man took it with a curious
smile that twisted his pleasant-looking face
in a mask of expectancy.
Ho smiled moro as ho read it. Then , obliv
ious of other travelers who jostled him , he
laid it tenderly against his lips and actually
kissed it.
A loud guffaw startled him.
"Now. look here old fellow , " said n loud
voice , "that won't do , you know. Toe
spoony for anything. Confess now , youi
wife didn't write that letterl"
"No , she didn't , " said the travelling man
with an amazed look , ns if ho would like te
change the subject. "That letter Is from mj
best girl. "
The admission was so unexpected that the
trio of friends who had caught him said nc
moro until after they had eaten a good dhv
uer and were seated together in u chum's
room.
Then they began to badger him.
"It's no use , jou'vo got to road it to us ,
Dick , " said ono of them ; "wo waut to know
all about your best girl. "
"So you shall , " said Dick , with great cool.
ness ; "I will give you the letter and you can
read it yourselves. There It is , " and ho laid
it open on the table.
"I guess not , " said the ono who had beer
loudest in demanding it ; "we like to ohnfT t
little , but I hojw wo nro gentlemen. Tbt
young lady would hardly care to have her let
ter read by this crowd , " and ho looked 10
preach fully at his friend.
"But I insist upon it , " was the answer
"there is nothing in it to bo ashamed of ex
cept the spelling ; that is a little shaky. I'l
admit , but she won't caio in tlio least. Ileai
it Hardy and judge for yourself . "
Thus urged Hardy took up the lettoi
shamefacedly enough , nnd read it. Then
were only a few words. First ho laughed-
then swallowed suspiciously , nnd as ho fin
Ishcd it throw it on the table again am
nibbed the back of his hand across his eyes
as if troubled with dimness of vision ,
"Pshaw , " ho said , "if I had a love-lcttci
like that - " nnd then ho was silent.
"Fair play I" cried ono'of the otbew will
an uneasy laugh.
"I'll read it to you boys , " said their friend
seeing they made no moro to take it , "nnd ;
think you'll agree with mo that it is a mode
love letter. "
And this is what ho read :
Mi ow KN iiEAii PAPA. I sn ml PRairs over ;
nitonnndWenl kigyurc PU-UUuro I ASI' '
god to bless you gooD bl PnPa yuro Bes
gurl Dou/r.
For a moment or two the llttlo compan ;
remained silent whllo the little letter passci
from hand to hand , then Hardy Jumped t <
his feet :
"Three cheers for Dolly , nnd three cheer
more for Dick's best girll"

Hidrous in livery Guise ,
Whether it bo the best known form ,
chills and fever , or else bilious remit
tent , double ague or ague cuke , is that
abominable disorder involving the
liver , the bowels nnd the kiduoys.known
ns malaria. Every complaint classified
under this generic , though erroneous
appellation , is destructive of _ the ner
vous system , but is , unhappily , not to
bo subdued , or oven checked , by the
use of ordinary nervines , febrifuges or
tonics. There is , however , prompt relief -
liof and ultimate cure to bo found in
Ilostottor's Stomach Bitters , foremost
among the proprietary remedies of
America , und widely known in other
lands. Not only diboases born of mi
asma , but rheumatic complaints , super
induced by exposure in bad weather ,
inherited or incurred debility of the
kidneys or bladder , dyspepsia and an
irregular condition of bowels , are cura
ble nay , certain to bo cured by this
deservedly esteemed nnd professionally
sanctioned corrective.

CATARRH DESCRIBED.
Tlio Sjinploms Attending Thai Disease
Which Leads to Consumption.
When cntnrrh hnsxlstcd In the head and the
upperpartofthothro.it for nny lentfJi of time
-tho patient living In a dlstilut whuie iieoplu
nro subject to rutiinhnl nirectlon-and thedls-
case has been left unenred , the ratarrh invnrl-
nbly , sometimes slowly , extends down the wind-
plpo and Into the Inondilul tubes , which tubes
convoy the air Into the dlllerent pait.s of the
nj-'H. The tubes beioniu nllected fiom the
nlllUK and the mucous arlMiiR from entiirih ,
nnd. In some InstanccM , become plucRod up. so
that the nlr cannot tret In as freely a It Miotild.
Shortness of breath follows , and ttio patient
breathes with labor nnd dllllcnlty.
Inulthor rasn there la n sound of crackling
nnd wrheorlmj Inshlu the chest. At this sta e of
thedlfiensothobroiithiiiBls unially iiioruiapul
than when In health. The patient has also hot
dashes over his Ixidy.
The pain w hlch accompanies this condition Is
of n dull character , felt in the chest , behind the
breast bone , or under the shoulder Ijlado. The
pnln may como nud go last a few days and
then bo absent for se\eial othira. The cough
that occnra In tlw llrst stages of bronchial ca
tarrh IH dry , comes on at IntenaH hacking In
character nnd Is usually most troublesome In
the morning on rls-lng , or going to boil nt night ,
nnd It jnny be in tlio llr.st evidence of the disease
extending Into the lungs.
Sometimes there nro Hts of coughing Induced
by the tough mucus so violent ns to cause vom
iting. Later on the mucus that Is rnlsed Is
found to contain small pnrticlus of yellow mat
ter , which Indicatus that the small tubes In the
lungs nro now nllected. With thl them nre
often streaks of blood mixed with the mucus.
In some cases the patient becomes M-ry pale ,
hns fever , nnd expectorates beloro any cough
nppenrs.
In some cases small masses of cheesy sub
stance' nre plt up , which , when pressed between -
tween the lingers , emit n bad odor. In other
cases , particles of u hard , chalky nature are spit
up. Tlio raising of choosy or chalky lumps lu-
dleato serious mischief nt w ork In the lungs.
In borne cases catarrh will extend into the
lungs Inn few weeks'In other cases It may bo
months , nnd even years , before the dUeaso at
tacks the lungs sulliclently to cause Ferlous In
terference with the general health. When the
disease has developed to such a point the pa
tient Is wild to have catairhnl consumption.
With bronchial cutanh there Is moro or less
fever which ( Hirers with the dllleront parts of
the day slight in the morning , higher in the
nfternoon and evening ;
SNEEZINGJCATARRH.
What It Means , How It Acts , nnd What
It Is.
You sneczo when you get up In the morning ,
you try to snee/o your nose oil every tlmo you
lire exposed to the least draft of nlr. You have
a fullnesa over the front of the forehead , nnd
the iioso feeld na If there wax a pi UK in ouch
nostril which you cannot dislodge. You blow
your nose until your cars ciack. but It don't do
any good , und the only result is that you succeed
in getting up a very rod nose , nu-l you so irri
tate the 11 nine membrane of that orpan that
you are unable to breathe through it at all.
This Is a correct and not overdrawn picture of
an acute attack of catarrh , or "Sneezing Ca
tarrh" as it Is called.
Now , what does this condition Indicate ? First ,
n cold that causes mucus to bo poured out by
the glands in the nose ; then tlioso diseased
glands are attacked by swarms of llttlo germs
the catarrh germ that tloat in the air In a lo
cality where the disease la prevalent. These
anlmalculae. In their efforts to Hnd a lodgment.
Irritate the sensitive membrane lining of the
nose nnd nature undertakes to rid herself of
them by producing a Ut of sneezing.
When the nose becomes tilled with thickened
diseased mucus the natural channels for the In
troduction of ulr Into the lungs la Interfered
with , nnd the person so effected must breathe
through the mouth , nnd by such means the
throat becomes parched and dry , Mioiing Is pro
duced , and then the catairhal disease galus
ready access to the tin oat and lunys.
