A College Arrangement that Has Created a Large t mouunt of Ex aiement Throughout the Couu try. The fight against the Princeton Inn, a hotel established at Princeton, N. J., for the special use of students and patrons of P.?inceton University, has attracted the attention of thousands all over the country. It is said that the New Brunswick synod will take some sort of action upon the matter, especially in $he case of Prof. Shields, who was one of. the signers of the petition upon which the inn was granted Its license to sell liquors. Another of the bigners was ex-Presi dent Cleveland, whose signature it was that g+ove the inn management ' the necessary number of signatures to insure the issuance of the license. Professor Shields, who is a minister of the Presbyterian church, and bears the title doctor of divinity, has been severely criticised by'parts of the coun try, and a resolution condemning him will be introduced at the meeting of the synod. If it is adopted, he will resign his professorship and his con -nection with the 4hurch-at least so it ' a is reported. He has for thirty years been a professor in Princeton. Many synods have condemned the professor and the inn. There has been raised all over the country a hue and cry against the inn; Presbyterian ministers and Presbyterian associa tions have been particularly active ; and so great has been the clamor over tLe matter, that it has become almost a national issue. In view of all which, some facts about the inn and the university may be o' interest. For time out of mind, Princeton students who desired to drink alcoholic beverages have been forced to patronize veritable grogabops in Princeton town. These saloons have been of the worst imaginable kinds. The thous tnds of students at tending the big school have ever had among them a certain number who would drink. These spent their nights in )>he saloons of the town, where the proprletors would serve any sort of liqnor demanded, and whence boys came forth staggering and dazed from the use of spirits. Such was the state of affairs when four years ago Mor'es Taylor Pyne, a trustee of Princot.on and an alumnus, determined that Princeton men should not be subjected to these indignities. - He went among his friends and the friends of Princeton and raised enough money to build the splendid hatel that u is now called the " ins." A dourle purpose was in Mr. P'yne's mind when ho caused the hotel to be built. Not in all Princeton was there a hotel which might be called what is known as first-class. Of course, there were hotels, but they were of the cheap kind, and it was in those hostelries that friends and parents of students were compelled to put up when they visited Princeton. Mr Pyne conceived the idea of kitling two birds with one stone. Lie would build a fiue hotel to accomodate visitors to the university and he would supply a place where the students could be served with beer and ale under the supervision of the university. A stock company was formed, the- hotel was built and a manager was secured who had com petent.ability.as a hotel man, and wno also knew the wants and the vagaries of college students. This manager is a very sedate appearing gentleman, whd rules the famous grillroom with a rod of iroti. To this man was intrusted the task; . or duty, of seeing that no " freshy " or " soph " got into the grill room-the place downstairs where the " ale and cakes" are sold-without being accompanied by a senior. The 'J = grillroom is open until 11 o'clock every - '-night, and any student in "Old Nassau" may enter so long as these restrict,ion, are obsereod, drink as much beer as he may desire to consume, and smoke innutnerable pipefuls of tobacco, while the roof tree sends back the echo of the very best songs that Princeton talent can produce. . iat;is the .inn and its purposes. Sfight,is directed particularly t.o wrd the griliroom. Upstairs in the Inn is a room where students of any class may-:-when with their relatives, obtain any kinti. of alcoholic beverage they..wisp to order. This part of the progra1mme is so purely a personal - matter.t'hat.no or1e has objected to it, oe.t. 6n general p)rinciples. The aynisis. imperative-students can get ~nplng here except with their rela i es. This part is a hotel, nothing 'NThw, Trustee Pyne believes thoroughly in the institution and so, it may be said, do most of the authorities of Princeton, who contend that the real issue is between the temperance af a licensed hostelry where there is the strictest regulations and the In temperance of the bad barrooms of the town. Pyne declares that if the grill room is to be closed the whole thing must be closed--that the closing will start at the top and strike the grill room last. The alumni are generally with Mr. Pyno in his position and it is generally understood that President Patton and the other authorities agree - with thorn. In this connection 'rho Chicago Times-Herald furnishes an interesting pnase of the controversy. It tells of the strong criticisms that arc comning from Prebbytorian ministers In general sud aome of them in particular, and adds : " The university authorities have no hesitancy in speaking tacitly, if not overtly, about the peculiar and deli cate debt that is due to thorn from the ministry of the Presbyterian church. This debt is a remarkable one in some ways, It is worth referring to in ex tenso. "IFrom the very beginning of the university the-sons of the Prosbyterian ministers have been educated free of .charge at Princeton. There are mnany hundreds, nay, thousands, of Presby terian minieters' sons who have been graduated from 'Old Nassau,' with not a cent for tuition. Not alone that. Scores of eminent Presbyteria'n min isters have been given their education in the arts in this old school, for Prince ton not only educated the Sons of Pr' s bytorian ministers free of charge, but she has also given free education to young men who proclaimed their do mire to become Presbyterian ministers themselves. And this is not the end of Princeton's generosity. Although * a Preem.ian founation, Princeton has consistently opened her doors wil out charge to the sons of ministers, n matter what the denomination, an has so broadened her polity that an young man who wished to become minister, whatever his denomination had free access to her halls and to al that she had to give. " In view of these facts, certah members of the faculty, the alumn who own the now famous 'inn,' and th< friends of Princeton who are teetotaleri themselves are somewhat surprised to say the least at the attitude of tht presbyteries that have openly and harshly criticised the university for maintaining what the clergy call s 'grog-shop' in classic Princeton. President Patton and others have not come out flatly on the subject, but it Is known that the feeling in this respect is running high, and there are rumors that if the church continues to attack the university as it has been doing for the last two weeks, the 'free list' will be suspended, and clergymen's sons and prospective clergymen will be forced to seek out some other university for their education, or 'pay up."' Ex-President Cleveland has been severely criticised for the part he took in signing the petition for license, and he has sent the following characteristic telegram to the Chicago Times-Herald in reference to the matter : "I don't care if all the synods and presbyteries in the country were to offer an adverse decision, it would be no good reason why I should alter my opinion. I am very sorry that Dr. Shields has been bothered over this matter, as he is an old and very dear friend of mine. Otherwise, the action of the presbytery does not affeet me in the least. When I signed the petition for the liquor license of the Princeton inn, I in no sense committed a wrong, and if the same proposition came up for my consideration again I would do the same thing." THE PRIUE OF CO'TON. A New Explanation About the Cause of Low Prices for the Great Staple. . The cause of the reduction in price of cotton has bten explained variously, but the following article presents a new view altogether, and cotton dealers are disposed to accept this view to some extent. Farmers can take choice of the explanations given, but the fact remain, that cotton is helow the cost of production. Here is the letter : To the Ed tor of New York Even i ng Post Sir .--The price cotton is sebting for is a great disappointment to the South. It was not anticipated, us consump tion and production were cl-s: on each other's hcels, and the stock on hand was of extremely meagre proportions. Judged in the light of past experience, it looked as if the crop would bring two cents per pound more than it is now bringing. However, in the factors that formerly fixed the urice of cot ton, onn element differs now, and to this difference, in the estimation of many, is clue the low price now ruling. Tha difference consists in the way the bulk of the cotton crop is now mirketed as compared with the me thod in vogue seven or eight years ago. Formerly the crop was marketed through the cotton factor in the citi. s of the South. Now it is done largely through the local buyer at the "cross roads" depot. The advent of the local buyer was hailed with great rejoicing. The farmer could then sell direct to the " spinner huyer." The cotton factor would be eliminated as a use less expense, and the one-half cent per pound cost of marketing saved. In the light of recent events it looks as if the farmer had to a considerable extent accomplished his purpose of saving the t\vo and one-half dollars in com missions and charges, and lost ten dollars per bale in the value of his cot ion ; a delightful bit of rural finan cie'ring. Formerly the crop was concentrated in the large cotton centres with cotton factors. It was in strong and compara tively few hands. The higher the price of cotton, the better it was for both factor and grower. Factors having control of the spot cotton, de clines in p)rice could often be success fully resisted and advances in values maintained. How different the con ditions now 1 The cotton is scattered in the hands of many, many thousand cotton farmers, each marketing his cotton alone and without reference to the other in the hands of parties mainly who are in debt and must sell their cotton to pay the country mer chant's store bill. The thousands of little railroad stations each has its little local buyer. Each country huyer is a force con tinually acting to lower the price of cotton. He is either endeavoring to get the farmer to accept the extremely low bid of the shrewd spinner' at a price that will net the buyer 25c. or !60o. a bale, or he is flooding the dif forent markets with teiegr.,phic offere', wildly endeavoring to p)luck order's from his almost innumerable competi tors. The number of offers alone cause the amount of cotton offered to be largely magnified. In many In stances the local buyer is impecunious. andl has adopted cotton--buying after having failed it every other line. This has, however, not prevented him ruis year- fro'm selling a head thousands of hales of spot cotton, which It wouldl be0 impossible3 for him to deliver were the) market to advance. HeI can readIly do0 this, as he has nothing to iose ; and if the mar'ket goe his way, as It has done, ho is so much the gal nor. During the puresent crop~ the price has buen put down notch by notch by the enormous olers of spot cotton by those local buyer-s, in spite of the fact that the size of the crop is pur-ely pro' spetive and the actual movement is smaller than with the crop last yearl, a crop which although a large oneC, lacked 300,000 hales of supplyIng c'On sumptive requirements. That cotton should bring the best possible p)rice is a matter of national concern. Many schemes have beer proposed for marketing the cro p, but, on account of the large area of tori tory involved and the number of parties In interest, nothing- feasible has beer proposed. Laissez-faire must bc trusted to bring a solution of the pro blem. W. COLIEI EsTES. Menmph is, Tnnn.. Oct. 26.'

"Hard, hard, indeed, is the contes 1 for freedom and the struggle for liber i ty." "There is no rest for the wicked. This world is all a fleeting show am Jordan is a hard road to travel, I be liove ! There are other ejaculations might utter, for of late there has bee trouble on tho old man's mind. Yet seo, I was invitea over hero to talk tc these people in a humorous and philo sophic way and my wife said as the larder was getting low and the girlt needed some more winter clothes, ant the tax man was bobbing around and the grand-children would be exp,eting something for Christmas, she thoughi I had better go. So she packed m3 valise with my best clothes and fprti fled me with a little drug storo of camphorated oil and flannel and liver medicine and paregoric and cough drops and quinine and headache powders, and so forth and so on. We kissed good-by all round and I departed feeling like I was being driven off from home by sad necessity. I took the Sea board Air-Line at Atlanta bound for Charlotte, via Monroe, but our engine broke down about dark and this de layed us three long, dreary hours, and when we reached Monroe it was way after midnight and the Charlotte train had gone. There were three nice ladies aboard and several gentlemen, who were greatly disappointed, but the conductor was kind and sympathe tic and said there was a circus train near by that wits going to Charlotte right away and if we didn't mind rid ing thirty miles in a cab, he would get us the privilege. The ladies said yt-s, and we did too, and climbed in. It was as dark as 1'rebus. We felt out way to find seats but there was.pothing but some long tool boxes whose lids were hard and cold. There was no fire and the wind blew through a broken glass on the back of my head. The ladies chatted away merrily, for they were going home, but I wasn't and I couldn't chat to save my life, for I was very tired and thought of that good, soft bed at home. By and by the con ductor came in with a lantern and took up our tickets and left us in the- dark again. About that time the animals got restless and tho -lion gave an un earthly howl. You see this was a menagerie train. "The antimals went in two by two, The elephanit and the kangaroo," and every time the cars careened about or swung round a curve we could hear some devilish noise ahead of us. "Ol mercy," said the youngest gi:l, "sup pose th.;y break out !" "They will cal the sweetest and tendercs, first," saia I, "lions always do." I pulled my cloak up over the back of uy head ant ruminated. For two long hours we jogged along, for the train was running slow to suit the wild beasts and we were of nio cons' quence'. I 'L was neaa 3 o'clock when we got to the suburbs o Charlotte and stopped. Nobody wa: looking for us-nobody rushed forward to meet us, no porter nor hackman no omnibus or street cars, not even u wagon or an ox cart or a darky. The moon had hid herself to keep from see ing our misery, but we seiz -d our ga ip. and wraps and satchels and made a march for the electric lights. My conpanions sun separated irom mi and I marched in single file with amy big valise full of clothes and 'he drug store, and struggled for three quartera of a mile up the long and hard side walk. I am not used to are lit'hts, and the flickering shadow of every tree and telegraph pole looked like a man in ambush who was ixing to hold me up. I had forgotten where the hotels were, and unconsciously passed them, for- the doors weac all shut, and there was no sign. By and by I met a p)ollce aman and he conducted me back to the hotel, and I was its thank fill as I was tired and humble. Mly pitiful tone oh voice secured me kind attention and ai bed. When a man is far away faomi home, his warmest welcomne is an inn. But I did not rest well. A 10 o'clock( sup)per, on fried sausage and scraambled eggs and stale oysters, disturbed amy corporosity and I dreamaed that a'tagea got loose and camne p)rowiing and howl ing around the car and somehow I got a hatchet out of the toolbox and lifted the young lady through the port hole upon the roof, and volunteer-ed to de fend her with miy life and my sacred honor. Them tiger made desper ate leaps to get up there, but every time ho got a paw on the cave, I cut it elf and let him fall hack again.- I don't know what became of the ot,bor indies, but think that other wild beasts got Ira anti eat thema up. The men had all fled prematurely, but I saved the prett,y girl, the sweetest and tendei'est, before I woke up. Who wouldn't, in a direr rm?. What cur aious things are dreaams, any howl The next trouble on the old man's mind came over hiam at Salis bury, where I was billed to lecture that night. On any arrival I fournd that august body the Presbyterian synod in session. Preachers andl elders innumerable were scattered among the good p)eople all over town. They were holding night sessions, and wouldn't have adjourned for McKinley or Grover Cleveland or the yellow fever or a fire. But this was not all, the E'piscopal bishop was to lecttiro on the Holy Land, where he had been recently, and I knew that I would fall between anid get smothered. Mr'. Marsh seemed to feel very bad, and apologized by aaying that when he hooked inc ho did not know of these meetings. "Well,'' said 1, "the saints will all go to those meet, ings, but you harve sinners in this town." [Ho ad mitted that there were s amo. And so [ went ahead and lectur-ed, and was surp)rised to sde be fort, me a selet and cultured audience, select, arid I hope elect according tc Pa-esbyterian theology. So all is weil that ends well.

After the lecture we had a Imusic alo at the hotel by the -gifted Gruber family, who keep the hotel, Mr. Gruber and Mrs. Gruber and their seven children. I havo heard much music during toy long life, but I never heard any better anywhere.

Wbat delightful chords came from the piano under the touch of the young ladies and the sweet little black-eyed girl of only ten suminers! And when they played "Home, Sweet Home,". with variations, I could hard ly restrain my tetars. I felt like we all ought to bold a seance If we could with John Howard Payne and toll him how toe world loved him for his song. I had sweet dreams that night. I am still on the grand rounds talking to the unpretending people of this grand old state. It seems to have got, out, how over, that I had joined John Robin son's circus and gone oil with it.

Richmond Dispatch.: While our government. is industri ously at work trying to introduce In dian corn into the domestic economy of Mduropeon familps, it seems to take no note of the lamentable fact that In this country corn is less used for bread than formerly. Myst middle-aged persons remember well when corn bread was served upon nearly all tables in the South and West at leAst twice a d.ay. Sometimcs it ap peared in the form of " hoecake," or "dodgers," at other times as egg or " batter bread," and again in " pones." It .was par excellence " the " bread of the negro, and every man who served in tho Confederate aemy was also a well graduate in the use of it. Now the darkies eschew it where wheat bread is to be obtained, and upon the tables of thousands of Southern and Western whites it never appears at all, while others continue to us It only for din ner, Now, why is this ? Surely cornmeal is as good as it ever was. Those w ho sincerely, but probably mistakenly, be heve t.hat " watcr-g round " meal is better than the product of mills turned by steam can always find a supply of that in m11ost cities, and it Is . conUon enough.

Th1,e high tnied colored damsels who are turned out by our public sehool's are not tho adopts that our old Aunt Dmabs and Aunt I'eggys wcre. No sol f-resspreting pan of dough would be conjured into shape by such unskilled hands. And then we ngay doubt whether corn bread can be cooked in a stove as well as an open tireplaco. t7'e Indiana laid their dough cakes between layers of forest leaves, or upon the hard ground, and cooked them in the hot ashes. Hence " a-h cake," a very l'nscious product, indeed, when one has whetted his appetite for it by a long day's rtunting. The hoecake is so called becar"s it was originally baked upon a ho---that ever ready and useful instrument of agriculturo, which Is to be founmd upon every plantation, lBut latier onl cookinug ute.s is wereo manutmfactured, wvh ichi took the place of the humble hoe. 3o, too, shlingles were used whereon to place the dough while It wvent, t.hrough thu process of becoming a well-done ashcake, In Mr. Lane's "' Choir In visiblo" wh ich contains many interest ing incidents of border life in Kentucky, we obser-ve thlat there tihe favor ito shilngle for th ib purpos)e was cut from the ashi tiree. in eastern V'irginia and Nott Carolina a cypress shingle was generally used, but, any sor-t wvould do where the best, was not to be had.

Rohort Sims, colored, was hanged on the I7th inst. at Jonesboro, Tenn, for the murder of Walter (alloway. The execution was private. For a slight grudge, growing out of an imagzinery injury, Robert alill "Ishamu" Sims, shot down Walter Galloway, I young white man, who had been kind to him and had just olfered him a few cents to look alter his horse. The deed was dono on July 9 last., in the presence of M iss al1iu' Boring, the young lady to whon Galloway was engaged to be mnarried, andt within a few yards of the farmn house of W. 1). Boring, in Washington county. Galloway had ridden to the house to call on Miss Elli(r Boring. Sims was employed as a laborer on t.h place, and Galloway told him that if he would take his Ii rso to the barn and feed him he would pay hin ive cents. The negro refused and angry words passed. A few minutes later Galloway took his horse to the barn and gavo it the needed attention. While he was doing this Sims brooded over a grudge he had against Galloway and deter mined to kill him. Ile sviz;id a gun and loaded it, Miss Boring being an eye-witness to his Im1OVel-emits. I'hr ing he intended harml, she ran toward the barn and ( n the way met her lover, Galloway. No sooner than she warned her lover of his danger than Sinis ap pared and in an instant fired. ''he ilot was fatal.
