A lot of sophomores at Ann Arbor caught a freshman the other night, and cut off all his hair.

It is pleasant to note that in our institutions of learning young men occasion ally pick up bits of experience which may be of practical use to them Id after lif when they become barbers, for instance. A game of cards at Helton, wai broken up one night last week by lightning striking the table and knocking the players unconscious. 1 had Just read an account of It to Arthur when he said: "Gee! That's almost as bad as stubbing up against a straight flush with four acs, ain't it?" The Eagle recently received a nrat little note from a young man, giving his own Dame with that of his brand new fiancee and adding: Kln-lly (iiitiMUii'-c our rnK.iRrnint nt thp h4 of tin' t-i'lumn.

He has seen so much, dot! so deeply into motives, handled the news of so many of the world's great historical events that the wonder is that anything can interest him now. An I here canto the little note, from an unknown young man to this busy old chap. I haw a smile of benevolence light his grim face as Ills eye ran over the tidily written. word.s. "Isn't that beautiful?" he said, showing the note to me.

For a moment he seemed lost In contemplation of the young map so proud to he engaged to the dear girl. Then, with an carm-st "(loil bless them!" he took up the pencil of authority and wrote instructions that this announcement must go nt, the too of the column.

yes, a wagon dumped about, two harrow loads of sand there, but it wasu't used, ami the man loaded il up in the wagon and took it. off some hero. I told the foreman I hat Ihe alleged r. 'pairs were altnul the worst I had ever seen, and I have been in the trucking business and familiar with street, conditions in lirooklyn and New York for the greater' part of my life. It is simply waste nf the pu hi ic moii'-y.

without any practical result whatever. There is only one way of bettering the street, from a business standpoint. and that Is lo widen and re pave il with block imveuieni, ami send ine uowMiers to me stone crushers. is Injurious lo teams to I haul anything of a load on thn street in its present condition, and no one would think of doing so unless it as pract Ically impossible to avoid it, and this nut infrequent ly happens, unless you want to make a circuit around to I'nion street. And then this alleged rcpaving with ashes is ridiculous.

It is cheap, of course, because, as I said, the ashes can be had for nothing, as they have to he carted off anyway, and ihe Street Department miuht make a contract, with a lot of lirms and be paid for hauling ihem off, much less get them for nolhlng. If this meihod of repairing streets is not throwing dust, or ashes rather, in the eyes of the public, I don't know what is." In the meantime a document has been prepared and is being signed by business men interested in the condition nf the street, which will be presented lo 1 oputy Commissioner Rodfield at an early date, possibly through the newly established SKlh, Tenth and Tweiflh Ward Hoard of Trade. Kvery member of it, knows exactly what the condition of ihe street is. 4h EEV. DR.

The Old Ashes Plan Sand That Wasn't Used Memorial Going to Bedfield. Citizens who are interested in the im provement of Sackett street, from a business point of view, do not know whether they ought to bo amused or onury nt the latest piece of work done on that, thoroughfare. Last week a lot of men from the Department of Streets came on thn street, below Columbia, and started in to pry up the sunken hole3 in Bpots. In many cases the cobblestones In the street might fairly be deseribed as bowlders. A waRon came along with a little sand, which was dumped near the ferry and theu went around the neighborhood collecting ashes.

Theso were dumped alongside the tnrn-up places and the same old cobbles laid down again and covered with a heavy coaling of the ashes. When all was finished the wagon was backed up to the little pile of saml, and it was carted off to help "repair" some other thor oughfare. Any one walking along the stn-ct to-day can see the evidence for himself. The plots of ashen are th're. but the only sign of sand is here he little pile was dropped, possibly for show or as' "evidence ot good faith." and then carted away again.

Former Alderman Krnest Jnhu, who does a Urw business in the neighbor hood of Hamilton Kerry and is naturally much interested in having good streets near whore his business lies, said to-day: 'The condition of the street a dis grace, and Mr. Jtedfleld would uo well to take a walk along It and wee it as it really is. His own firm has to do much trucking to Hamilton Ferry, ami he knows how congested Hamilton avenue is ai times. If Sackett street were in good condition it would relieve I'nion street and 1 am i on avenue greatly. As H.

is, the street is far too narrow, while the paving is wretched beyond description. I doubt if thero i a worse paved street in the entire Horough of Brooklyn, and yet Ik one or no leading arteries of travel to Hamilton Kerry. It needs to have at least a foot taken off em-h sidewalk and the entire street repavrd with Belgian blocks. The eurhlng is falling in end no patchwork will make It better. A l.atiK eame down here last week and punched up holes here and tnere and then put the cobblestones again, with ashes.

That's cheap enough. You (an get all you want of these ashes around here, nnd be thanked handling of I' nolo Sain money a New York. Thia is more than iwic th wrurity 'hat Ellis 11. Roberts. 1 nited S'ates Trrj-urer.

The latter also determines the amount of wcur-i'y that is 10 be furnished by the Assistant Treasurer at New York. The bonds of these two officials have been fixed at the above flxures for a great many yars. and Secretary Shaw merely followed custom when he required Mr.

Fish to put up HM.iMHt worth of security. Another odd fact is hat the assistant treasurer g's more salary than ih1 treasurer. Mr. Fish draws ivo in pay every year, while Mr. Koberis g'is but Sti.ufn).

The same dispro portion is observed in the pay of the deputies in the main and branch office. The deputy assistant treasurer at New York gets a salary of while the corresponding 0 nicer at Washington is paid but a year. A well known bonding company furnished security for Mr. Fish, charging him at the rate of one-fourth of 1 per which will take off Mr. Fish a salary unless he made a special arrangement for a reduction.

The bonding of public officers has come to be a special industry within recent years. The bulk of the business is captured by a Maryland concern, which was forced to miike good the defalcations of Neely in Cuba. Several new bonding firms have been established in Washington in the past two years, and one of them makes a specialty of providing security for newly appointed fourth class postmasters. As soon as notice is made of the appointment of a postmaster this company sends to the appointee a lot of literature on the subject of bonds, together with a blank application. In this way it picks up a good deal of business.

The President had heard that the country about the Springs was well adapted for horseback riding, and as he Is prejudiced against traveling on tlie hanoatn he made up his mind to stop off at Sharon Springs and enjoy a good ride over the sage brush aud gopher holes thereabouts. The news that the President of the 1'nltcd States would spend Sunday in Sharon Springs has created a sensation among the citizens of that locality, and they are making desperate efforts to do full honor to the occasion. Sharon Springs boasts of a population of 2f0 souls, and in all of Douglan County, which extends over more territory than iR covered by the State of IJelnware.

there are about 750 residents. Sharon Springs does not lay claim to a preacher, however, and the representative of the county in the stato Legislature is scouring the country in the search for a man who can deliver a sermon to the presidential party. Flans are also being made to convert Ihe town hall into a place for holding the Sabbath day services. Sharon Springs Is long on horse3 and fourteen fine steeds have been set aside for the use of the President and his friends. A.

WILL TRY LUNCHEON SCHEME. Baptist Ministers to Be Induced to At tend Weekly Meetings by Appeals to Stomachs, The attendance at the regular monthly conferences of the Baptist Ministers' Union of Long Island has grown so small recently that the advisability of changing the day or hour of the conference was discussed at the meeting in Hanson Place Church yesterday afternoon. After a lengthy discussion it was voted to meet next month at 11 o'clock In the forenoon instead of 4 o'clock In the afternoon. The meeting will be held on the third Monday of the month, as usual, but in stead of meeting at the Hanson Place Baptist Church, which has been the regular meeting place, the ministers will meet at the Strong Place Baptist Church, and after the confer ence is over they will be served with a col lation by the women of this church. If the new departure Is a success the meet ings will be held in the forenoon In the fu turc and at different churches, the women of the congregations furnishing collations.

It seems that heretofore the meetings have been slimly attended, because many Baptist ministers In Brooklyn are connected with the Manhattan Baptist Ministers' I'nion and attend Its meetings, which are held on Mondays, while many other ministers have board and commute" meetings to attend Monday afternoons. The idea of having a collation was borrowed from the Manhattan Ministers' I'nion. Some of Ihe Brooklyn ministers decided that the reason the monthly confer ences across the river were so much more largely attended than the meetings over here was due to the fact that a luncheon was served at the Mnnhattan meetings. "The only trouble over here is to keep our women folks down to a simple and reasonable limit," said one of the members yesterday in discussing the luncheon feature. "If you tell them you only want shredded wheat they will have three or four things beforo you get to the shredded wheat." Dr.

W. C. Bitting of the Mount Morris Bap tist Churrh, Manhattan, was to have dressed the meeting yesterday on "The Chicago Convention for the Promotion of Reli gious and Moral Education, Its Causes, Ses slons and Issues." but he could not be pres ent, and will perhaps be Heard later. At the Instigation of Dr. Freshwater, who earlier In the day had appeared before the Baptist ministers In a resolution was passed by the union in opposition to the Yale bill now before the Assembly which ex empts hotels from the local option excise luw.

This kill. In other words, would allow all hotels in local option towns to tell liquor. There are loral option towns in New York Sfnto now. and the opponents say that If the bill Is parsed Haines la hotels will spring up In all of them and local option will be a dead letter. BISH0P BUKOESS VISIT.

Brooklyn Representative to Appoint Midshipman Eight Tons of Pullman Tickets Redeemed. Eaple Bureau, ioS Fourteenth Street. Washington, March 24 flase hall and foot hall are to be introduced into the course of training for the American Jack tar, so that the future sailor will he expected to know-as much about tackles, drop kicks, mass plays, interference, mugging and gouging, pitching, batting, basu stealing, double plays, as about reefing sails, splicing ropes, swabbing deck, gun pointing and other duties that properly fall to the lut of the enlisted men in the American Navy. The adoption of athletic games (n the Navy has been encouraged ever since President Roosevelt's first connection with the service. He Is an advocate of all outdoor sports himself, and when he went Into the Navy Department as Assistant Secretary he at once get to work to increase the opportunities of the enlisted men for developing skill and muscle.

He found that the distribution of athletic supplies was confined to the issue of dumbbells, Indian clubs and fencing outfits for officers, no provision of this kind being made for the men at all. Mr. Roosevelt had an order adopted by which four sets of boxing gloves were included in the equipment of all the smaller vessels of the Navy, and double that number for the battleships and cruisers. These were placed at the disposal of the Jacklea, and the officers were requested to give the men every possible chanco to use them. Some lively set-tos took place among the men.

and the rivalry for the championship belt on the various ships is keen to this day. Some months ago Henry Chadwlck of Brooklyn, the "Father of Base Ball," called on President Roosevelt and talked to him about affording facilities to the sailors for playing base ball. The President became interested in the subject, and as a result of hi3 recommendations to Secretary Moody an order has been issued providing for the distribution of full foot ball and base ball outfits to all the Bhips of the Navy. The order tells of the number of base balls, bats, catchers' masks and mitts, belts, shoes and other supplies that are to go to vessels of different classes. The department has just filled the requisition for the crew of the Missouri, which is to include 2 punching bags, 21 base balls, 4 foot balls, 12 base ball bats, 4 catchers' masks, 9 basemen's mitts, 4 catchers' mitts, 4 catchers' protectors, 24 pairs of stockings, an equal number of foot ball trousers, with belts, aud 6 nairs of 8-ounce boxing gloves.

The order further states that when the commanding officer of any ship shall report to the department that there is on Doaru thp vessel under his command a well devel oped base bail organization, the vessel will be supplied with ten extra oase Dan suns, the shirts of which will bear the name of the vessel on the breast. The government is also prepared to furnish trophies for th gallant tars to strive for on the baae ball aud foot ball field. When a squadron commander shall request them, the following trophies are to be fur nished, for vessels having complements of 300 or more: Rowing, a gilded rooster; sail ing, a small model of a navy cutter, under sail; base ball, a blue and gold banner; foot ball, a gilded wooden foot ball; fencing, crossed broadswords. Vessels, having complements of less than 300; Rowing, a silver rooster; sailing, a small model of a nay whaleboat under sail; base ball, a red and gold banner; foot ball, a silver wooden foot ball; fencing, crossed broadswords. All trophies are to be suitably mounted and so arranged that the necessary inscription can be entered upon them yearly.

They are to be protected in glass cases, after the manner of trophies won in the colleges. This is following out the custom In the English service, where the men are encouraged to excel in nil branches of sport. English army officers are famous for their devotion to polo and cricket. The American Jack tars take advantage of assignments to navy yards in order to develop base ball and foot hall teams, some of which have achieved notable victories. Secretary Moody has sent a notice to Representative Frank Wilson of Brooklyn mat he Is authorized Wilson to Appoint a Cadet.

to appoint a cadet at Annapolis for the new Fourth New York District which Dr. Wilson will represent in the next Congress. The cadet, or midshipman as he will be designated, must be a bona tide resident of the Fourth District nnd between the ages of lo and 20 years. Dr. Wilson will nominate two candidates, one of whom will be the regular and the other the alternate.

Three separate examinations will be held for midshipmen, any one of which may be taken. The first occurs on the third Tuesday in April, and the second on the second Tuesday in May, and both will be under the supervision of the Civil Service Commission. The third examination wll be held on the third Tuesday in June, at Annapolis, under the supervision ot the superintendent of the Naval Acadpmy. While these examinations are primarily for the principal nominees, the alternates may report and take the same examinations also. No special or general examinations for entering the Naval Academy will be begun later than June 30.

The large number of midshipmen to be instructed and drilled makes this rule necessary, and It is to the great advantage of the new midshipmen themselves. Candidates will be required to enter the academy Immediately after passing the examination. The redemption division of the United States Internal Revenue liureau has lust concluded passing on I ihe claim oi the Pull Eight Tons of Pullman Tickets Hedeemed. man Palace Car Company for rebates on unused war stamps at tached to sleeping car tickets. Some idea of the tremendous business done by this corporation may be gained irom the fact Hint I'ncle Sam was called on to give credit for eight tons of tickets and stamps, and when the count was llnlshcd a federal draft for was forwarded to the treasurer of the concern.

This sum was made up of Hems of from two to six cents, representing Internal revenue stamps of that value that had been affixed to sleeping car tickets for seats, berths and seel ions. Tlie law for the redemp'ion of uncanceled revenue stamps permitted returns to he made for a period of four mom lis after the Inw became operative, so that the Pullman Car Company could not have had a very large supply of tickets out. It Is supposed that the volume of tickeis outstanding was large enough for the company's thousands of imeiits for nhout six months. Kight tons of tickets were forwarded to Washington, and each 111 tie slip bore an imprint oi en Internal iric stamp. The company decided that It did not cere to pay the cxprcssfige for the return of the I'ncle Sam hud given credit for ll'c stamps, so they will he burned In the big reducing furnace et the Navy Yard In this city.
