As a rule the man with a grievance is considerably more interesting to himself tha-n to the public. We are not at ail sure that Proressor Hernia, late of Chicago University, is an exception to the rule. His mishap was a peculiar one, however, and excited (for the moment, at any rate) a public curiosity nut confined to Chicago.

Having made room in our columns for President Harper's emphatic denial that P. "mis was turned out of his chair because the very wealthy men who gave the university its endowments bad requested or mijr-gi-sled thnt eviction, prhapa we are bound in fairness to make room for the professor reply. He Is informed, he sajs, that President Harper has been saying irtlvately that he was dismissed because the time for which he had been engag-evj was up and because the university authorities did not care to renew the engagement. "In none of the negotiations Iwtweon the university and myself respecting my coming to th university was there a single word," he ays, "as to any tim-o limit." He has conclusive evkleria (as he thinks) that President Harper has also been saying privately that hu wan dismissed because of incompetency. Aa witnesses to the Incorrectness of this statement he i t- bu students, his Immediate superior, Professor Small, the chancellor of Vanderbilt University (whence he went to Chicago) and President Harper himself, January 13.

1H94, President Harper wrote him, lie says, a letter containing the language here following: Instead of the opportunity becoming belter for work on your part In the unlvenity proer. Urn doors worn to be closing. 1 am tjernuaded that in the long run you can do in another Institution, because of the peculiar circumstances here. a. better and more satisfactory work to yourself Irian you can do here.

1 am personally very much attache! to you. You are, however, man of the world enmigh to know that, unlesm one In the best environment, he cannot work to the best advantage. You are so well known, and your ability so well recognized, that there will surely bo no dlftleulty In securing for you a good position, one In which you will be monarch, nnd one in which you will be, above all things else, Independent. He is not a socialist, he says. He does believe In the gradual taking over by municipalities of certain local monopolies as has bfen done in Kngllsh Birmingham and Scotch Glasgow, and as Is being done by Canadian Toronto.

He has not ma do a secret of this 1-llef. Krrause of his connection with the university, the president of the Chicago (las Trust refused (In ISlKt) to di it a financial favor." That same year the manager of the largest, nggre-gatlou of gas capital (outside of Chicago) in America mid to him: "If ire can't convert you we are go! tiff to down you. We can't, stand your writing. It means million to us." Ills address in the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago iho address In which he said, "If the railroads would expect their men to be law-abiding, they must set the example" was delivered on July 1,1, 1KD4. A prominent railroad president took him to task for it on the spot, and complained of it to several trustees and to the head of university.

Thirteen days afterward President Harper wrote to him: "Your speech at the First Presbyterian Church has caused me a great deal of annoyance. It Is hardly safe for me to venture Into any of the Chicago clubs. I am pounced upon from all abb's. I propose that during he remainder of your connect ton with the university you exercise great care In public utterances about questions that are agitating the minds of the people," As recently as March 13, this year, he hud a talk with President Harper about his opinions and work. The president admitted, he says, that the opinions were conservative rather than radical.

He urged tiKin the president the importance of the university keeping in close touch with the sociological movement and dealing with the labor question, the monopoly question, the municipal problems of the time, in a moderate spirit, as he had tried to do. He says that Dr. Harper made this reply: "Yes, it Is valuable work and you are a good man to do it, but this may not be this is not the institution where such work can he Professor F.emis says further: The benumbing httlueiice of certain class of actual or hoped-for endowments, whether this Influence, is directly exerted by donors or only Instinctively felt by the university authorities unil Among the strong testimonials In favor ts the following: New KnIand 'oiurvaf ory of Music, Ifoston, August 19, ib.

PtlllilMSlIiU CO, 4 Immense iiircliase OF PIANO Mi THE CASE OrJ'BAT'' 6HEA-In the early afternoon of Tuesday, March 6, 1S94. a gang or hired reliefers were rounded up at a polling place in the thirteenth ward of Troy, N. by thre heelers named, Bartholomew She, Cleary and McGotigh. The repeaters 'passed in to vote; the three heelers stood In the tjnorway to prevem. Interference.

Award worker attempted to push by them- was shoved bark Into the street, and there was a scutTle. Two of the heelers drew revolvers and toesan firing; the third pulled out a etovemounter's wrench. Robert Itosa, a young citlr.en, tried to disarm Shea, and Shea nhot him twice in the head, killing hlrn. Shea was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced. His lawyers took the case up to the court of errors and appeals.

That tribunal has now decided, as our readers know, that Shea was properly convicted and tiiat he must pay with his life for his crime. One of the Justices is in Europe. All tile others concur in the decision. "Viewing this case In all its they ay, "we feel that there is nothing for this court to do but to Rfllrm the judgment." The opinion of the court was written by Mr. Justice Peckham.

Much of it has, of rourve, a greater Interest for lawyers (criminal lawyers especially) than for laymen, but there are long passages whieli have Interest for everybody. "The repeater is the modern pirate," cays New York's highest court, "un enemy of organized and civilized WxiMyi" CxnOTurnlng 'Shea. anVl Sals companions, and the manner In which they practiced their nefarious Industry In Senator Murphy's town on Tuesday, March 1S94. the Justices hold this language: The names and residences of reputable and well-known citizen, were op-'ti-ly taken, called out to the inspectors of election and voted on by these miscreants (the rcpealersi while the citizens themselves whose names were thus taken were In the booths preparing their ballots, and In some instances the citizen would come out of the booth to protest against his name being used by such person, but no weight was given to the protest, and when challenged these repealers swore in their votes under the names thus taken. A line of legal votrs, formed for the purpose of voting In their proper turn, would be broken, and tills "bunch" rascals would get to the polls and each ileposit a ballot and retlrei only to repeat the performance at, the same poll in a short time.

Tills was particularly the case at tim first election district the ward, and the defendant and friends acted an the captains and directors of the men who were personally doing the repeating, conducting them to tlie polls from a saloon near by and gathering them again In time for another raid. This conduct of the defendant and ills companions is almost beyond belief, nnd were It not for the fact that it had been testified to by numerous witnesses, who, so far as we can Judge from the record, were reputable business men. and entitled to credit, we should have great hesitation In accepting the narrative as true. The reckless audacity displayed In the commission of these offenses would of Itself lead us to doubt whether anyone would be willing run such risks as to thus openly violate the law in the presence of so many reputable ond decent men. The facts e.re.

however, established by evidence which Is simply overwhelming. In the light of such offenses it is a somewhat ditlieult task to preserve that judicial temper which ought always to characterize the expression of views by tills court. The news that "Hat" Shea, the murderer. It to pay the penalty of his crime has given great satisfaction to good citizens in the town where It was committed. Not unalloyed satisfaction, however.

There Is a feeling that there is something wrong when this bloodstained young ruflla.n goes to the death-chair IiIb proper destination and the men who are morally responsible for him and the like of him ro scot-free. The "Troy Times" puts this feeling into words when it says: Had there been in Troy no democratic "machine" which for years had ptwued an unvarying course of political rascality, suppressing the lights of oiti-ssetis with remorseless hand and employing every device of fraud and fore' to carry out Its unscrupulous objects, there would have been no such bloody work as that for which Shea and Mc-(Sough have been convicted. Effects never come without cause, and the assassination of Robert Ross was the effect of which democratic "machine" rule was tho Uhvct and unmistakable cause. Ve hear from Troy that members of the gang to which "Bat" Shea belonged desperate young toughs of the same typ" have m.ide threats as to what Is going to happen If "Bat" Is put to death. may be all mere talk, of course; as to that the Troy people are much ibetter able to judge than we are.

But prudence Is always In order, and the young citizens whose testimony convicted the murderer will err on the safe side if for some time to come they are mor? than usually prudent after nightfall and In unfrequented streets especially.

Interest in the Elks' Bazar Is Increasing. The attendance at the Elks' bazar was several hundred greater lost night than It has been on any previous night since the opening. There was a large number of children present, who assisted in making the terrible jam. They could hardly have enjoyed the visit or have had an opportunity to see many of the sights to be witnessed. If parents would take the children to the bazar In the afternoons the children would enjoy the visit much more and the room which they take up on the usually crowded surface in the evening could be had by people who cannot attend during the day.

Up to the present time about 20,000 tickets have been sold; as the large attendance nightly makes it impossible for those who attend to see all that is to be seen in one night, the executive committee is considering the advisability of holding the bazar for a- longer period than was originally intended. To-night will be Grand Army pight at the bazar and the prospects are that the attendance will be larger than last night. John M. Rewer of Norwich, commander-in-chief of the Grand Encampment of Connecticut, with hla staff In full uniform, will be present to-night with officers and members of the local Grand Army posts. There will be special features for the entertainment of the Grand Army men, in addition Jo the regular vaudeville entertainment.

There will be elaborate scenic effects In the mountain scene with soldiers in uniform, and Commander Brewer and his staff wil be given a prominent position. A drilled chorus of fifty voices, under Walter S. Gaylord, will sing national airs and Arthur C. Moreland will give patriotic recitations. The concert last night was given by Pope's Band.

It has decided to keep the bazar open until Wednesday night. Tuesday night there will be a repetition of the exercise of Grand Army night, and in admitting people preference will be given to unpunched tickets, so that those who have not yet seen the bazar will given an opportunity to do so. Electric Road Rumors. A. S.

Hoyt has bought $20,000 worth of the stock of the Westport electric road, a controlling interest. A Nor walk paper says he represents a Mr. Cutler, a Springfield millionaire, and that Influence of the New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad may be behind this. It is also said that the steam road had about -completed arrangements to get possession when' Mr. Hoyt stepped in.

Vice-President Hall and other officials the road deny reported purchases of the Meriden-Wal-iingford trolley and of the Bridgeport road. Slump In "Kafllra" In JEnglnnd. London, Oct. 9. "Kaffirs" dropped heavily on the stock exchange to-day under the Influence of the rush of weak holders, partly due to the impending Jewhsh holiday, which will be followed by a settlement day.

As was the case the other day, the big operators came to the rescue and checked the fall. While the slump on the London stock exchange was at Its worst, the Glasgow exchange, where "Kaffirs" are largely dealt in, got into a panic, and some kinds of "Kaffir" securities declined five points. The decline was recovered later, however, upon the receipt of reassuring quotations from London. There was also a slight scare on the Manchester exchange. Smllli-liont.

Williams, as "an able, honorable, brilliant and courteous gentleman." It pays parties, and It pays states, to put jn nomination candidates who can truthfully talk about one another In this way. AN IMPRUDENT AND UNLUCKY KOBLE-MAN. Ixird Sackvllle must be Retting well along toward 70 now. but lie lacks the wisdom of the burned child. Seven years agt he wrote an Indtwreet electioneering letter in th Interest of Grovel? Cleveland and the democratic party.

Greatly to his surprise it got Into print. Its appearance there cost 3iim his position nnd his career. The alarmed candidate at the AVMle House, whom he; had tried to help, turned upon him and rent him. The amiable Mr. liayartl, his very good friend previously, sent him his passport, The Foreign OHlce.

(rave him a wigging and put him on the waiting: list. He has been there ever since. Such an experience should have sufficed, one would think, to make Lord Faekville wary of pen and Ink all the rest of his days. Not so, however. Here he has been writing and publishing- "for private circulation a.

narrative of his American experiences, well spiced with tales out of school nnd Incidentally divulging a confidential dispatch received by him In the early winter of 1SS8 from Lord Salisbury, then as now her majesty's principal Fceretary of state for foreign affairs. As In 'the case of the Murchlson letter, he seems to have thought that marking his narrative "private" would keep it so. The old mistake, the old result. Within a week a copy of his pamphlet was In the hands of one of the American newspaper men In Tndnn, Mr. Ballard Smith, and a synopsis of Its contents was rushing over the wire to New" Tork.

Some sample bits of Lord Sackvllle's (atest indiscretion will be fotind In another column. His general views as to American politics, newia.pers will probably be regarded at the Foreign Office (as they certainly will be In this country) with Indifference. His exceedingly candid language about' the President cf the United States and the American ambassador In London may leem to the Foreign Office a more serious matter. His lordship describes Mr. Cleveland (by pretty direct implication) as a man ready to resort to the baest actions In order to get himself fleeted.

All American politicians are that kind, he says. Mr. Bayard he accuses of flagrant misstatements, du-Vlicity, and of "degrading acts of politt-ral trickery." The ambassador won't like this, and he may have something to say about it to Lord Salisbury. It is not Improbable, however, that the Foreign Office may consider Lord Sack-viiie's telling of talcs out of school (as In the case of that confidential F. O.

dispatch) the gravest matter of all. Of special interest for American readers are his lordship's notes of talks with Mr. Bayard in 1SSS. On one occasion the (then) secretary of state told him that "the Irish vote had now-become a great factor In American politics;" and on another occasion (after the divulgement of the Murchlson letter about Mr. Cleveland's and the democracy's friendly dispositions toward C.reat Britain) that "great Interests depended upon the re-election of Mr.

Cleveland, and he could not ignore the injurious effect which my letter had had upon a certain faction, the vote'of which was necessary for the success of the democratic candidate." Interesting, too, is the text of this telegram which his lordship says was received by a member of the cabinet (after the appearance in yrlnt of the Murchlson CHOLERA HONOLULU.

DESERTED PROM THE ABMY, Two Dartmouth Students In Trouble in aslilngtoii. Washington, Oct 9. The 'Times" says George L. Day and Harry K. Balch, two students of Dartmouth College, who are connected with several prominent New England families, were to-day arraigned Judge Cox on the charge of obtaining money under false pretences.

Day and Balch recently spent several days in this city, during which time they defrauded the hotels and obtained money from family friends by making untrue representations. When arraigned to-day the charge of false pretenses was nolle prnssed and the young men will be surrendered to the military" authorities and later stand trial for desertion from the army. It is said that after leaving college they enlisted, but subsequently deserted and had not been located up to the period of their exploits In this city. The trial for desertion will take place at the arsenal. AS jTtrFsDICTION.

Judge Slinmwfiy's Decisions in Two anteresi log uses. (Special to The Courant.) Rockvllle, Oct. 9. Judge Shumway of tho superior court has handed down two decisions in cases that have created considerable interest. In the' case of Cornell, Hiscock Underhill vs.

the New York Filter Company the decision is In favor of the plaintiffs. The New England and the Hockanum mills owed the filter company $3,400, which debt was assigned by the company to the Messrs Hyatt and Dursch of New York, members of the company, three days prior to attachment by plaintiff. Defendant claimed this court had no jurisdiction as the property was thus transferred out of the state, citing the law in New Jersey, where the fiVter company was organized. In the case of, the assessors of Tol land vs. the town of Tolland, tne judge decided in favor of the town-- This was where the assessors wanted more for their services by the day than the town would allow.

Nateliaiitr Property to bo Sold. (Special to The Courant.) Willlmantle, Oct. 9 There is little doubt that the property of the Natchaug Silk Company will be sold during the present month.
