Scarce a train passes but that some woman or‘ W0- mcn are late, rushing across the ‘strcct in front of the office, when the train pulls in and just reach it as it starts to go out. ‘Ve have one or two men that do that, but then, wc shall hold a coroner's in {nest ovcr them some day soon, with the laconic verdict. “late to the train."

BUSINESS MANAGER. Tm: trustees of Brown Univer~ sity in the city founded by Roger Williams for the protection and per» petuation of free thought, have prac- tically passed a vote of censure on President E. 'B. ‘Andrews for his riews on the coinage of silver. President Andrews is a pronounc‘ed hiâ€"metallist, as he has a right to he, and he is a CleVeland Democrat and ' then he is one of the foremost col- lege presidents in this broad land. And then those pigheaded hide- l)0un(l trustees say he must think just as they do about silver and pol- itics and tariff etc. Why not include predestinarianism and trinity. the origin of evil, the extent of Adam’s ‘sin, the Hegeian philosophy and all the other hard nuts of theology, ethics and philosophy? This whole, thing is a gross iinpertinence. Pres. ident Andrews is there to think and :‘ teach his students to think: not to teach a set of opinions .held by New England manufacturers.
