One reason for this anomalous condition of things , sajs the New York Kvcnlng I'ost , IH thi ) fact that the necessary cost of a course at oven the mast expensive Institu tions has been found to he smaller than was generally supposed Investigation has often shown tli.T a shrinking of the family Income iitcd not cu' off a son from college life , be cause ho could get along comfortably for much loss money than had been considered necessary Meanwhile , attention has been called more widely than ever before to the posalbllltlcs open to the poor boy of work ing his way through , anil thus youth de pendent upon their oun efforts ha\o been cncouragcil to begin the course. At New Haven this week scores of students In Vale have tukel enrollment as voters In that cltj , on the ground tint they are maintaining themselves there by their own efforts. An Interesting and \aluablc little pam phlet entitled "The Cost of nn Education at 1'rlnccton " has recently been published vvhleh Is peculiarly appropriate for con sideration at this time Its preparation was prompted by the currency of rumors that the cxpenccs of students at 1'rlnccton ran \iry high , and by the consequent growth of the feeling among the uninformed that n poor boy , or one of limited means , could no longer take full ad\antagc of the educa tional opportunities offered there An In vestigation was conducted bj Mr Jamc'i W Alexander of the board of trustees and 1'rofV M Sloano of the faculty , and the facts thus collected are summarized In the pamphlet , which contains also a number of the letters received from students de scribing In detail their own experiences I'UHVAIUNXl TYI'IJ The student of moderate means Is pro nounced "the prevailing tjpe at I'rlnceton. ' ninl tlic t > pe Is thus described 'He mnlrtalns a creditable standing In his cljsd and finds time to piny Inso ball , foot ball , tennis or engage In some of the other branehrs of college athletics , as Ills tastes dictate He mnj represent his col lege on aarslty team He also finds 'line- to read a good deal , to engage In hall work ( the work of the two literary and debating sot-lotles ) , 01 write for the college press , to become acquainted with marly If not c/'iti the entire student body , and has ample op portunity to make * many warm friendships He > takes college honors of some sort , and Is eiulto likely to bo chosen by his class mates as one of the orators for class day " This Is the tjpe of student that most parents would wish their Rons to represent a JOUIIK man who to quote the words of the pamphlet , "stands on his merits and enjoys the respect of his fellow students" What need the four years' course at I'rlnco- ton cost such n jonUi * This la the reply "Ho lloi comfortably , finding It unnecessarj to stint himself In money mattcm , and Ills annual expenses are covered by the moJcst sum of $ DOO or..Jewj , " This state ment Is 'substantiated by a mass of sta- twtlcs gathered from the honor men of three recent classes , these being Rclectcd "because such men , particularly the second- group men ( the two or three eloicn In each class who stand below the few * eiy high- stand men ) , are generally acknowledged to bo the representative men of the college" Of such second-groun mem the twc-nty- fotir in one- class expended an average of $421 12 each ) ear of the course , thirteen of the twenty-four paying less than $400. of the thlity-flve In the second class twenty- two expended not over $ .r 00 annually on the avenge ; and of the thirty-nine In the- third elats twenty-eight expended an average of $ r 00 or less each sear , while twentv expended $100 or less.

In InnovntliiH In IMiirtiiliiniil Mx- to MI In lliiNton A somewhat Interesting and unusual ex periment Is about to be tried hi Boston. At a recent meeting the school board , by a * oto of 11 to 8 , decided to put baths In the new Paul Hcvcrc school house at the North Hud. Those who voted against the measure de clared that It would be Illegal. Whether or not they ore correct In that view Is , perhaps , an open question Certainly , bathing docs not pccm to fit readily Into n public school curilctilum , sajs the Now York Tribune It Is , or ought to be , a purely domestic func tion. It Is possible that the courts would take that view of It , and would , therefore , decide that the school board has no legal tight to use school money In building bath rooms In public schools I'osslbly , also , a parent who does not believe that cleanliness Is an essential clement In education might get a court order exempting his child from the operations of the bathing regulation. Hut for these very rcasoiiH the lioston ex periment will bo watched with Interest , for It may become n precedent that will throw a new light on the possibilities of public school education As n matter of fact , the curriculum of the public schools has been very much ex panded In recent jears , and the old-fash ioned pcoplo of fortv or fifty vcars ago who looked on the "three H's" as the only essentials In i common school education , would open their c > cs In wonder at the many things taught In a modern public school The problem to be solved Is , In deed , one of great difficulty. If It Is not ac tually Insoluble at lire sent The simple * u- dlmentary education that served fairly well a generation ago would be entirely Inade quate for a large proportion of pupils to day Now avenues of know ledge have been opened and a higher standard of Intelli gence Is necessary for those who v ould cap ture the greater prizes of life. Somehow or other , the public schools must try to cover vastly more ground than they used to cover , and do so without teaching anthing In a superficial way That thny have failed , la n measure , tu do this Is not at all strange The science of education Is In a sUto of ( lux , and will continue to bo so until some Intelligent analvsls and s > nthesls of knowl edge Is made This is the ago of the spe cialist , anil evcrj thing Is done to help him In his chosen line Hut what Is needed In the public schools Is not a congeries ct special studies so much as the boiled- down spirit of modern learning , not so much the teaching of unrelated facts as of the real relation of those facts to one another I'cihips bathing may bo technically no proper part of a public school curriculum. > ct , looking at the question In Its largest aspect , cleanliness Is essentially rels'cii. to n true education It Is nn old sa > lngnit the advance of civilization Is Indicated ! > the use of soap a saving none the less true bocausit It Is often quoted In soap "ads " Unfortunately , a great many children arc- not taught the virtue of cleanliness at home Hither the facilities are lacking or thclt paicnta are Indifferent to the question No lesson Is so Impressive as an object lesson , on that truth the whole structure of modern - orn education Is coming to rest. If , there fore , such children could be made to re ceive the object lesson of a bath In school , they would learn t > oinethlng about ph > slcal purity that they would never forget.

According to a recent estimate the total amount of donations by gift or will to col leges In the United States since January 1 Is $4.07C,800. Jacob II Schlff has given the Columbia university $5,000 to be Known as the stud- e-nt'H loan fund. Under certain conditions the mone > Is to bo loaned to students In need. Fifty-four thousand dollars was spent at Yale last jcar for athletics , $10,000 of this amount being subscribed by undergrad uates. The balance came from the proceeds of foot Lull and base ball names.

Cornell university has received a patent of nobility It was lb ued by Emperor Jo seph I of Austria In 1700 , and confers the rank of baron on Procoplus vcn Dolle.ii and his heirs This patent which Is engrossed upon vellum.

It will be used In the classes In history , for It Is customary at Cornell tu take students dlioct to original historical di'cumcnts Theio Is little doubt that the ancient lan guages gradually are losing some of the prominence they formerly had In the couracs at all Institutions of learning. Though doubtless they will alwavs bo studied as much as any branch they will not be stud- led more- than anv thing else taught in the colleges , as In the past The faculty of Coincll has decided that hereafter Latin and 111 celt will not bo a requisite for tbcdegree of bacholoi of aits Callfoinla will socn have UK state unl- vt rally housed In beautiful and expensive new brlldlngs and equipped as well a any school In the land Th announcement was made at a hoaid of regents' meeting that $1,000,000 hud been piomlsed by private cltlzcms as t > eon as the state would give $ SOOOOn.

FLAG WHICH HAS A HISTORY American Emblem Which Planted from the Eiffel Tower. PRESENT AT THREE GREAT EXPOSITIONS Atlniitii , I'lirln ninl tinWorld' * Piilr VIxlU'il In Iln I'llnrlmnm'M .N the I'ruiu-rl ) of .liili-H l.tintliiiril iif Oiniilin , Saturday , from the office of Jules Lombard , a flag was dlspla > ed which has a history. In 1SS6 at the Piedmont exposition at At lanta , Ga , Colonel 1) . H. Klllolt gave a re ception to President and Mrs. Cleveland , and the late Henry W. Grady of the Atlanta Con stitution In their presence presented to Colonel Elliott Oils silken banner. Thu colonel , with true southern enthusiasm , promised to take the flag to the Paris ex position In 1SS9 and bear It from the tomb of Lafajctto to the highest pinnacle ot the Eiffel tower and wave It there to the honor of all Americans at noon , July I Die presi dent had doubts about Colonel Elliott's suc cess , but at noon , July 4 , 1SS9 , the flag spread Its silken stars and stripes to the breezes beside the emblem of our heroic sis ter republic. Prance Having arrived In Paris Colonel Elliott applied to the general superintendent of the tower Mr. Holflcld for pet mission to ascend to the top of the tower with his ling. Mr Holflcld did not feel authorized to grant such an unusual re quest and took him to Mr. Eiffel himself. The great engineer at that time occupied a loom In the tower some 1,050 feet above the ground , nnd there ho was waited upon by his two visitors with their strange mission. Upon that day a statue of "Llbert > Enlight ening the World , " by Ilartholdl , was pre sented to the city of Paris by Its Amcilcan residents , and Colonel Elliott requested Mr. Eiffel to allow the American flag to occupy a place on the tower beside that of his own nation In honor of the dav and event. Mr Eiffel consented , and the dauntless colonel climbed up , upon a ladder , through a tube fifty feet long to the very top of the tower and flung to the breezes the only foreign flag that cvci flashed In the sunlight from that proud pinnacle The United States minister to Trance , Mr Whltclaw Held , presented the statue , al ready mentioned , to the city of Paris , and President Carnet received It. Doth gentle men referred In their speeches to the two llar.M waving side bv side as If to proclaim to all the world the lasting friendship exist ing between the two great republics Colonel Elliott returned to the United States by the steamship City of Paris , and as It steamed Into New York harbor at the close of the fastest trip ever made to the westward Cap tain Watklns put the flag at the foremast amidst the cheers of 1,200 patriotic Ameri cans At the next meeting of the National Edi torial association following these events Colonel Elliott was made a life member and the flag was accepted as Its banner On October 9 , at the great parade In Chicago , Colonel Elliott was placed upon General Joe Hopkins' staff and carried the Hag at the head of that memorable procession In 1SG1 Colonel Elliott was a standard bearer In the confederate army , hut no more patriotic American lives today , nor one who more fondly cherishes the stars and stripes.

All the services tt the Trinity cathedral yesterday were inemofl.il of the late Dean Gardner The principal ono was at 11 o'clock , when Hen Crapsey of Itocbester preached a memorial. ? rmoti. At that ncrv- Ice every pcvv In the big Interior of the cathedral was filled with friends of the deceased dein , both members of the parish and those who werenot being represented. Hcv Crapsey fenmd his message In the season of the je.ir , the time of the falling leaves Ho analyzed'the life nnd the func tions of the leaves , ( llullng In them counter- pat ta of the life and functions of man. He showed that the effects of one as of the other were felt through oil time , despite the dissolution of the material bodies ot both , The bole function of the leaf waste to breathe the air and absorb the light. When It fell In the fall It apparently had been of no use In the world and the con tinual reproduction of Its kind by nature teemed to be a wasle The preacher Illus trated bj the section of the trunk of a tree , however , that the effect of a leaf was con tinued and lasting , because during Its life time. It sent tendrils down into the trunk , which upon microscopic examination watt found to be composed ot nothing but the tcnclrl's of leaves The preacher showed that this process was but n. counterpart of that which under lies the life of man Ho said that man was on earth but a brief period , and appar ently for little use As a matter of fact , however , ho was formed to absorb the forces of life and had been given the power of transforming these forces Into a new force and Bending this downward Into the human lace Thus civilization was built up as the product of the work of Individuals In the same manner , the minister con tinued , the church had been built up of the lives ot saints Each had been created to breathe , but not to breathe for him self The subsUncc of the existence of each was sent downward Into the heart of the church the total forming the body of today This Is what constitutes the com- iri'tilon of saints Death , the preacher argued , was two fold real and apparent , fho latter was dissolution , the condition when the body ceases to correspond with Its material en vironments It wi < s the withered leaf and the dccajlng body , falling to dust. The other , the real death , was different. The leaf lived or In the tree , the man lived on In mankind by any good he had done , the saint lived on In the. heart of Jesus After these words the preacher devoted hut a few remarks to the life which was the center of the sermon. "The life that he lived here so simply and manfully , " ho said , "was but a leaf on the tree of life Wo are not hire to mourn that ho Is fallen and dead , but simply because we shall never see his face any more.

The republican rally at Young Men'fl In- stltuto halt vestrrdny afternoon wan n stio- ccus In every sense of the word Uvcry scat wan occupied and qulto a number were compelled to stand. A large number ol free Bllve'- democrats and also many women wore noticed In the audience 13 Hosevvatcr waa the first speaker and was fellowod by It II. Thorpe , the "boy tramp orator. " In his opening remarks Mr Hooewatcr ttild that It was the last nennon on fn'c sllveho expected to preach during the present campaign , nnd In reference to free silver all theories must stand one of two testa either reason or experience If anj new- proposition could not stand the test U should he rejected. In referring to Can- dldato llrjau the speaker challenged any one In the audience to show one nolltary pieu > of work , a houso. a mill factory , or even hen coop that llrjan had caused to bo built during hH residence In this stale , lie had never given cmplojmcnt to three men In his life If the contrary could be proven Mr Hcaow-atcr said that he was willing to support Mr Dryau at the polls next Tues- daj Ho maintained that a man who asked the support cf the people should have done something toward building up the country and assisting In making It more prosperous. Urjan In all his career had not done a sin gle thing toward the wealth or prosperity of the nation On the other hand , ho seemed bent on breaking down the. Indus tries of the country , and was a destructive statesman rurthcr , he Imagined It was proper and better for the United States t help build up the Industries of foreign nations llrjan had endeavored to make cheap prexlucts In America and Improve the condition of the laboring men on the other sldo of the water Instead of looking out for the laborers of his state and nation Speaking of the wool Industrv. Mr. Hose- water said that llrj-an had deliberately dc- strojed at one blow more sheep than coulil bo raised again In ten jears In this con nection the speaker told of meeting an Oregon gen sheep man on a train a snort time ago who was bringing several cars of sheep from his home to Clarks , Neb , to grac for a time He had paid the railroad com pany at the rate of $194 a car freight on his live stock and at the present prices of wool the freight would eat up all of the profit. Under the present democratic ad ministration wool had dropped In pi Ice from 18 to C cents per pound It was esti mated that the sum of $330.000 had been lost to the people of Nebraska on account of free V.IPO ! llrjan had caused the sheep Industry In the west to be literally de stroyed It was the same with binder twine. Ilryan's efforts to put twlne on the free list had caused the shutting down of n fac tory at rremont , and last jc.ir 800,000 pounds of binder twine were Imported Into the state of Nebraska Tills twlno might Just as well have been manufactured here and a largo sum ot money would thus have been kept at home Lincoln had hald that he was not much of a hand to discuss tariff questions , but ho claimed that If he bought a ton of rails hero the people had the rails and the moncj both. If , on the other hand , he bought the rails In England , ho had the rails and the ICnslls'i ' had the money Tor that reason the man who built up foreign Industries at the expense of the laboring man of this country was a destructive statesman. Ho then proceeded .to say that the demo pops wcro asserting'that If wo only liar the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 1C to 1 everjbody would have money and be well off and all of our Ills would be absolutclj cuicd forever IMcntj of people In the United States were credu lous enough to believe that any one remedy could euro all the Ills the bodj politic hid been suffering for the last fiOO jcars Mr Hosewater then told how- , when trave-1- Ing In the west a short time ago. he had met two Colorado silver men who were perfectly cra/y on the Idea of free silver They firmly believed that Hrj-an could by law raise the price of stiver bullion1 to J1.2U an ounce. The edicts , he said , of all the governments In the world could not do that , much lesu a law passed by congress. Reference was made to a speech delivered In Chicago by Mr. Urjan on October 28 , In which he said that our condition rested on a foundation of a mere handful of gold anil that foreigners held a Hiring to this founda tion and n.lght pull It any time , thus top- pllngocr the structure. The speaker then went on to show- how much gold there was at the present time and inserted that the amount was about 21000 tons "Coin" Harvey had said that all the gold In the world would make only a twcntj-two-foot cube. According to government reports the pile v.-ould bo twenty-two feet at the base , but It would be 143 feet high And jet the free silver necromancers go on and distort the truth and plaj on the credulity of t lie- people. Gold has been accumulating for 3,000 jears and Is an Indcdtructlblo com modity.hat we have now will bo handed down to the next generation and so on The volume of gold has nearly trebled In the last sixty-five years More gold linn been taken out In the last five vcars than In twelve j-ears during the great excitement In California In 1S49. In connection with the production of gold the speaker referred to the Trcnsvaal country , vvhcro In the jear ISOr. something like $100,000000 In gold was taken out and now experts assert that 'nere is In that country $3.000,000,000 of gold In sight. And yet , with all this. Ilryan tells us that there Is but a handful of gold Colorado produce * ! moro gold than silver last jcar by $20.000,000 Only last week an English syndicate purchased gold mines In Colorado , paying for them the sum of $2,000,000 Yet the free Bllvorltes toll jou that England Is trjlng to make gold scarce- Ilefcrrlng to Candidate Drjan again , Mr Hosevvatcr said that ho was the only candi date who had ever traveled with two tenders. He doesn't want to tell the people which wife ho Is going to marry. Sewall Is rich , Watson Is poor. Hrj-au has plenty of time to go east and visit Sewall , but has no time to waste on Watson. All Is fair In love war and politics , and It Is the eamc In this love affair between Drjan , Sewall and Wati > on. The populists do not like the way Drjan has treated their candidate and will vote for the Watson electors alopc at the polls next Tuesdaj- . Mi. Hrvan has asserted that the people are suffering from the effects of a gold standard that was fastened onto the public without discussion and then ho sajs the re publicans want to fasten the gold standard onto the people In 1896. This country has seen hard and prospeious times In the last twenty jcara and good times espcclallj between the jears 1880 and 1S92 Why Is U then , was asked , the gold standard lias been such a curse ? During the last twenty years there have been laid In the United States 125,000 mllca of railroad track and 53,000,000,000 of foreign money has been distributed In this county. Is the gold standard responsible- for these packing houses and stock yards here ? asked Mr ! ( C3e\\ater If It Ks , then give us a con tinuance of the gold standard. Such men as llrjan destroy iproaperlty by putting productn on the free list which ought to be produced at home. The free silver people tell jou that when the mints are started everything will go How arc they going to make business boom. The United States doea not own the Hllver In the treasury , It Is merely a deposi tory. Against the silver In the treasury there- are Issued sliver certificates which may he redeemed any day At the present tlmo there Is In the treasury only $ ; 3,000.- JOO that the government can dispose of llrjan was going to pay off the debts with the silver In the treasury and not IESIIO my moro bonds , but ho cannot get at lui bulk ot It because It Is deposited to guarantee the silver certificates Mr Hosowater then took occasion to say that In his opinion llrjan would not be elected president next Tuesday This re mark was greeted with loud and prolonged cheers. In conclusion Mr Hosewatcr talked plain lenso to the laboring pcoplo and pointed ut tbo way for them to help make times letter to make mole work , morei building , otc. If they wanted prosperous times a vote ) for McKlnlev and sound money v-ould lo It. On the other hand If they wanted ,0-cent dollars , high prices and disturbances n the monetary world , a vote for Ilryan ml free rlher would bo the course to , pur sue , All through the discourse the speaker van treated with the utmost respect and he best of order prevailed.

Yesterday afternoon Jacob Hauck of Ornuba addressed tbo members Q ( the Ocr- lIcc.Nov.U , 1800. - The political agitators have clone a good thing. They have turned the people's attention to the purchasing power of a dollar and they have shown that pcop'c ' can get more for a dollar today than at any time heretofore known , If you doubt this , so far as clothing is con cerned , look in our Douglas street window when you go by. There you will see a suit of clothes marked $5 that a year ago would have cost you 56.00 here and $7.50 anywhere else. There you can see a suit marked $8.50 .that would have cost you $12.00 not so very long ago here and is today considered worth that price by other stores which have similar suits to sell , There you can see suits at $4.00 , $3 50 , $10 oo , $12.00 , $13.00 that a year ago would hive cost you from 500 to $2.00 more per suit at "The Nebraska" and at the present moment would cost you from $ i to $5 more per suit anywhere else. If anybody should tell you that the purchasing power of your dollar has not increased so far as clothing is concerned , tell him to look in this window of ours. If he should tell you it is on account of overproduction tell him "nit , " Send for our Citalogjic it tells a thing or two. "CLEANLINESS IS NAE PRIDE , DIRT'S NAE HON ESTY.
