The papers publish a note on
the death of a well knoyn Turk,
■aid to be about 164 years old.
It is likely that in his youth he
did not know much about Ameri
ca. The United States did not
then exist. It by any chance he
bad been able to keep up with
current events, he wouldr have
been equipped today with a vast
■tore of interesting reminiscence.
Within the span of his life the
3fal government post office in
tftis country was opened, our first
daily paper was published,' the
first steamboat clove the waters,

The University of Chicago bas
opened Its doore to all tearcbers
for scholastic information, which
means that if one is properly
qualified mentally, he can enroll
for study without too difficult an
entarnce examination, and free
of numerous restrictions upon the
student who wants a complete col

half dozen tables, and lacked a

if more of its inhabitants knew
something of anatomy, even tha

action of the mid-west Institution
of learning points toward a re

the plot of ground be small and
the quantity of seed but a hand

Every one of the 20 Dlmond
bills reported out of committee
during the second session of tho
73rd Congress was passed. The
McKinley Park and Nylin bills, al
ready passed by the Senate, rec
eived House approval in the clos
ing hours, , __
Nineteen of these bills were
approved and one was vetoed by
the President. He declined to ap
prove the McKinley Park bill be
cause, it is believed, of opposition
expressed by the Department of
the Interior.
In the opinion of Delegate Di«
mond and others who studied it
closely, this measure was founded
after the situation had been made
known by D. E. Stubbs of Mc
Kinley Park, who has been in
Washington since last fall awalt
the outcome.
