A STARTLING AFFIDAVIT. JACOB SLEEPER HALL BAM i cratcm gailg OSlote- Judge Emerson decided that the complainant was entitled to the office, but granted a stay of proceedings, and an appeal was taken, which will be arguedat the January term of the Territorial Supreme Court. Judge Swiss decided that the offices were vacated by lapse of election, and the Governor therefore authorized to fill them. nent social clubs in this way: "I went into the ball and found about 10O very respectable Republicans and a few disgruntled Democrats. There was an unusual number of eye-glasses, and they were elevated pretty well.

I mado up my mind as I surveyed the gathering, that the gentlemen assembled represented first themselves. I stayed through the meeting and was convinced of the shallowness of the professions of the leaders. I shall vote the Republican ticket because I believe that the bone and sinew and not the eye-glasses of tbe party should control its affairs." "WHAT A QUANTITY of 'remnants' it must take to enable Oak Ball ts" fill orders for one and two hundred suits a day It does take an enormous quantity, but wbn it Is remembered that we have six hundred agents bi various cities and towns in tbe United 8tatM. and that our purchases for this department alooa exceed fifty thousand ards, it will readily be understood that the remnants of a season's work must be considerable.

9S.1T Ex-President Booth of Bellevne Makes Oath Concerning the Methods of Procedure Followed In Procuring the Charter of the Medical College. The officers of the Bellevue Medical College have persistently and vehemently declared, since the exposure of that Institution in The Globe, that, in spite of Irregularities in disposing of diplomas, the college was legally organized and chartered under the laws of the Com-monwealth of Massachusetts and, therefore, had a legal right to do Just what it chose with its degrees. Great stress was laid on the supposed fact that the State had placed itself in such a position in granting the charter, and in not specifically declaring that the college should not grant the degree of doetor of medicine, that the institution could go ahead and dispose of its diplomas to whomsoever it chose and on whatever terms It desired, without let or hindrance from anv one. They have protested so much about their legality and the inability of the State, the public or The Globe to help themselves that it seemed worth while to look into the matter a little. The results of the Investigation are interesting revelations.

The following affidavits, copied from the records in the office of the secretary of state are given, followed by an affidavit drawn up yesterday. It-should be noticed that the name of Dr. Alfred Booth appears among those signed to each of the Bellevue College documents Recorded at the State House. We, ATfred Booth, president. May R.

The forthcoming report of the superintendent of public instruction shows that there are 1,037,567 children of school age In Illinois, with nearly 13.000 schools. Last year's enrollment gives a total of 713,431 pupils in the public schools.

Adding these to the pupils in private schools accounts for all but 250,755 of the children. The State school boards expended $8,000,000 for school purposes last year. Scipio. N. December 1, 1879.

O. Prlnoo when was llrst nominated by Democratic convention In November, 1876. XI elected, It was predicted by the Republican press and the Independent Herald that the city would fall Into the hands of the lowest and most dangerous element anion a us that taxation would toon bo Increased that our business Interests wonld suffer, and that tho good naaio of our city would be lost beyond redemption. Wo can now turn to the record and seo bow these predictions bavo been verified. Tho debt or tho city the first year of Mayor Triuce's administration, as per auditor's report, was as follows I APm so, istt ipril (0,1882 40.tS3.sH Reduetlon of debt This Is a record of which Mayor I'rluce and the Democrats who elected and stood by blm during tho four years of his administration can feel iiMtly proud.

During all these years be was op posed by the Republican press as a partisan mayor, but this partisan mayor has left a record that will compare favorably with, that of any of Ms predecessors. Kvery year it was predicted that the financial condition of the city would be ruined, but extensive public improvements were Inaugurated and carried on successfully, and when no retired from race $3,827,185 of the debt bad been paid off. Tbo same kind of abuse Is now heaped on the of Hon. Albert Palmer, solely because he was nominated by a Democratic convention. For years elected by Republicans to fill Important positions of trust and responsibility, It is predicted by the same Republican press, who were always ready to throw dirt on Mayor Prince, that bis election will bring discredit on the welfare and prosperity of our city, and efforts are making to alarm the taxpayers to vote blm down.

The Democrats, one and all, should stand by their standard-bearer. We have a large majority of the voters of this city, and there is no good reason why lion. Albert Palmer should not be sleeted by at least 6000 majority. Let the taxpayers remember and consldor that the debt was reduced 13,327,185 by a Democratic mayor, and that the same results, In proportion, will follow the election of Mr. Palmer, notwithstanding the Republican abuse.

Let the people keep these facts before their minds: Reduction of the debt by Democratic dsnlalstratlon, Taxes la.t year of Prince', admlalstratiaa, SIS 00) par SlUOO.

They are "non-partlsau" nominations of course, and represent ail tbo "better elements" of our political and social life. TlieJDemoerats get a generous representation, considering that they have only a majority of about six thousand votes in the city. Very seldom does a minority deal so fairly with a majority. Mr. Daniel D.

Kelly heads the list of Democrats on the alderman lo ticket. Mr. Kelly Is probably a good representative of the party at least he is good enough to commend himself to the Sawyer-I'rocker management of the Green campaign. lie supported Dr. Green last year and got bis reward, lie will support blm this year.

Hence bis popularity with the Republican machine. The other grutlenien credited to tbe Democracy are Messrs. 6lade, Hall, Caldwell and Holbrook. Tbe Herald says of Mr. Holbrook that he "Is said to be a Democrat" The Republicans on the ticket are Messrs.

Btebblns, Pratt (Laban), Pratt (Isaac, Hersey, Wellington, Hart and Smith. Not one man on the Kepubllcan side is anything less than a strong and active Republican partisan. Even If the Democrats nominated wero real Democrats and representative of tho party, the seven Republicans could out-vote them every time and control legislation. Is this non-partisanship? At the last election the Democratic ticket had a clear majority of over eooo. General Butler had over 13,000.

Our Republican friends propose to the party which polled this huge popular majority to waive partisanship in municipal affairs, and their basis of compromise is seven Republican partisans and five Democrats, a majority of whom have always voted for tbe Republican party In all city affairs. How long will the Democrats of Boston allow themselves to be openly insulted by such methods? It Is for them to dictate the terms; it Is for them to say who shall govern this city and not the Republican minority. Under Mayor Trlnco they reduced the public burdens over 3,000,000, and broiiKbt the tax rate down to 13 00 per flOOO, notwithstanding that large outlays had to be made for public improvements. The policy of the Democratic party has always been and now Is economy in public expenditures. The policy of tho Republican party has always been and now Is extravagance, waste and lavish expenditure.

Under their control, during tbe present year, tho rate of taxation has Increased from 13 00 to $15 10 per 1000 an Increase of 91 20. Under this false and nix-clous cry of non-partl-sansblp, the Urcen managers now come forward and ask for a continuance lu power with a clear majority of the aldermanlc board, mayor and a majority of the council. They ask the Democratic voters to publicly record their belief that the majority of the citizens are not to bo trusted with the affairs of the municipality, and that only to a small clique should the management' of the public business bo entrusted. And this In face of the startling fact that the pub-tic burdens were increased this year $1 20 per 11000 of taxable property, under their direction and control. The mask has now dropped off and the tho non-partisan trick stands exposed.

Do the citizens like the spectacle? What will the Democratic voters do about it? With them the remedy lies. Few people have any Idea of the vast consumption of paper in the United States. By a census bulletin it Is learned that In 18K0 there were f92 paper manufactories. The amount of capital invested was against a35.780.514 in 1870.

Speeches by Gorernor Long and President Eliot. Letters From Wendell Phillips, Mayor Green and Others Boston University's new building on Somerset street was thrown open to the public last evening, the occasion being the dedication of Jacob Sleeper Hall. The exercises were held in the large hall, which is in the upper story of the building.

The spacious auditorium was greatly crowded. The exercises consisted of music by the Lotus quartet of male voices, interspersed between brief addresses by a number of prominent gentlemen, President William K. Warren opened the'exer-cises. His remarks were chiefly of a congratulatory nature. He ealled attention to the fact that the ball faced squarely to the east, and added that tills might well beataken to symbolize the fact that the college had its face toward the rising sun, and held itself ready to receive all new truth as it arose.

Dean William E. Huntington offered prayer, in which he petitioned that the oflleers of the iustitu-. tion might be encouraged to love and teach the truth. Governor Long was then introduced and spoke substantially as follows: The rebuilding of tins hall, sacred at once to religion and letters, is certainly an event of interest to the Commonwealth. I am glad to join in the dedication of these walls to the cause of liberal learning.

The Commonwealth recognizes the beneficence of the benefactor whose name they bear and who has assisted honorably in the executive council. She recognizes also the presence of all those who, from the beginning of this university until now, have been riveted so firmly to its foundation and to its support, and I may add that she rejoices that its opportunities are thrown open to both sexes (applause); recognizes them in school as the world is beginning to recognize them in society as each equal in the whole range of labor and each entitled to all rights of the other. (Applause.) And now, on the other hand, may I not claim for the Commonwealth that This liberal University, this voluntary gift of the people to the people, this generous spring of education at which all may drink freely, is an evidence of the wise, almost perfectly adjusted political system which it lias handed down to us? 1 trust that these delightful services betoken the continued and growing usefulness of Boston University. 1 trust that it will always have the cordial sympathy of its sister colleges, that it will always command the confidence of the ancient city in which it stands. Mayor Green, who was to have been present, sent a letter instead, which contained the following: city of Boston takes especial interest in all the institutions of learning within her borders, and in no one of them more than in Boston University, whicli already exerts a wide influence on the destinies of the country.

It is with regret that I find nivself unable to express in person the cordial sentiments that I feel toward your university." President Eliot of Harvard University said that he was proud to add felicitations urnm the entrance of the university to its well-appointed building. There were now at least seven colleges or universities in tbe State of Massachusetts. Where were they to obtain the students that they would need as adequate supplv for their intellectual activities? Everybody Knew that the population of Massachusetts was changing its character. Large sections of the Suite were being stripped of their old population to be replaced by another population, not without natural vigor, but which required two or three generations to become assimilated. The young men and women who went out of the State were spreading themselves over the country.

The institutions of Massachusetts were too numerous to be fed by the State, which was a good thing, for it was not safe or well for the country to Make Education Sectional, nor to confine the groups of students who collect in school institutions within State lines or in narrow lines. The Institutions the newest as well as the oldest were to be fed by the whole country. It was safer for the country and for the institutions. President Eliot closed with the remark that lie was greatly rejoiced that the advantages of tho institution were open to both sexes. I'resideut Francis A.

Walker of the Institute of Technology made a few remarks, in the course of which be said that the rapid growth of the college savored of the marvellous, and he could see no reason why it should not continue to grow in the same way. Bishop Padrtock was announced to be present, but sent a letter instead, in which he said: "I heartily rejoice over every such institution for the promotiou of the cause of learning and Christian education. While I must confess that I cannot see much brilliancy in the mere materialistic development and education of our young, 1 recognize the brightest hope in the wisely planned education of the whole man on a Christian basis. I watch with great interest vour effort to give young women equal chances with our own sex in development of intellectual character." A letter was also read from James Freeman Clarke, in which he expressed his gratification at the progress of the university. It had had the courage to do unpopular things because it believed them right, and had been the only university in this part of the country which had received women as companions with men in education.

Some day tbe wisdom of this course would be universally recognized. Wendell Phillips wrote: "I am sincerely sorry that I cannot be with you this evening to witness another step in your success In founding a university for the people, the rich and tbe poor, for women as well as for men. I have watched your growth with great satisfaction, your painstaking and vigilant use of every opportunity to open your way and Make Flrsa Tsar Foundation. and have rejoiced to see your efforts met with such liberality, and trust on the part of the friends of good learning as guarantees In the near future an institution worthy of the city and tho nation, the efficient co-worker with all the other influences in educating a people to the high duties of statesmanship and to lead onward the march of civilization." Mrs. Marv A.

Livemiore also sent a letter of regret, in which she said "I cordially rejoice in the opening of the Jacob Sleeper Hall and the prosperity which it indicates. If by some legerdemain wishes and good will could be transformed to gold, the university would soon be able to add other halls to her possessions, and to gather all other requisites of strength and good work." Itev. Cephas B. Crane, D. made some remarks about Us ministry and his connection with the church which occupied tbe site on which the college building now stands.

This called forth considerable merriment. He called for catholicity and non-sectarianism in all departments of learning. Kev. Joseph Cook was the last speaker. He spoke very strongly in favor of the education of women, and said, "When sneers are uttered against the projects of reform that have for their purpose the uplifting of the female population of Asia, the best friends of these reforms point to England and Scotland, and especially to the United States.

The eyes of the better classes in Japan and China are fastened with great interest upon our projects in education. This university is a taper that shines to the ends of the earth. It is studied, as I happen to know, by the authorities in the universities of Bombay; Calcutta and Madras. I am determined to speak my mind upon this subject, for I have come from lands in which there are no homes, in which wOman is a slave or a plaything for the other sex. I remind the president of this institution that on its action most important interests depend." A benediction followed Mr.

Cook's remarks, closing the services. Settling Railroad Rates. New York, December 5 There was a meeting of representatives of trunk line railroads at Fink's office today for the purpose of discussing differential rates for carrying passengers over main roads and branches. The questions at issue were left unsettled at the conference two weeks ago, and the passenger agents today took up the business where it was left off. Fink said this evening that the conference will continue during the greater portion of the- present week.

It expects to have some announcement to make through the newspapers Friday, if not before. Tho differential rates under discussion are for passenger business to and from intermediate points on the road. The greatest harmony has prevailed thus far. A World of Good.

Albert Curtis soon became its president and leading spirit. Ho was an able lecturer, drew large audiences, and soon acquired the reputation of being a very learned man in the science of medicine. Somewhere between 1845 and 184(5 Dr. Curtis went to Cincinnati, still continuing to be the head of the society, and establishing the Physio-Medical Institute. Its first location was on Broadway, below Third.

Shortly afterward a removal was effected to the building of Mine. Trollope's bazaar on Third street. Dr. Curtis went to Boston, and succeeded in interesting a wealthy gentleman in the success of the new society and school. This gentleman, Mr.

Stratton by name, subsequently left a legacy for the society, a trust fund of about 25,000, for the solo purpose "ot Teaching Yoaae; Ladles the Seten.ee IJfe." Dr. Curtis, although securing this legacy, kept tbe matter extremely quiet, drew the annual income of the fund regularly and applied it to whatever purposes he chose. Dr. William H. Cook arrived in Cincinnati in 1854 and became one of the faculty of the Physio-Medical Institute.

He, with some of the other professors, knew of the existence of this legacy, but as Dr. Curtts controlled all the funds of the society, they did not make any Inquiries concerning the same, or about the uses made ot the income. The secrecy, however, with whicli Dr. Curtis conducted his affairs so thoroughly disgusted the faculty that a complete rupture occurred in 1859. Thesiaculty.

including Dr. Cook, carried on an institute of their own, and the organization of the society was completed as before. All was forgotten, about that legacy. No one ever knew how much had been left, or who had left it, hence there was not much care exercised about it. But old Dr.

Curtis realized the fact; and he regularly drew the annual income, as subsequent developments showed. He had no faculty to continue a college or an institute, but he must needs preserve the semblance of one in order to be entitled to the fund. So he advertised his institute largely, and he gradually developed The System af iploaaa Helling. He gave his institution the high sounding name of "Cincinnati Scientific and Literary Institute and Physio-Medical College." This college often consisted of a few men and women whom he taught for a few weeks at his house, and then rewarded with diplomas at a certain price. His practices were denounced by physicians and by colleges as illegal, but still he persisted in his course.

He had his sign hung out at sever.il places, once over a-big barn of a building on Vine street hill, then on jbongworth street, and several other places. He possessed a very valuable apparatus, worth about $0OO, which, however, was seldom used. Dr. Curtis died about the 1st of February, 1881. After his death the Stratton heirs in Boston were anxious to ascertain to whom the annual Income was to succeed, as the head of the Physio-Medical Society, according to the provisions of the will.

They found no one, and ascertained that the society had not had any existence for vears. Hence they filed suit atoncc'in the Supremo Court in order to annul the claim forever. The Phvsio-Medical Society of Cincinnati, however, is stifl in existence, with Mr. George Fox as president, and a strenuous effort will be made to secure the fund for its uses, although it has not received any benefit from it for many years. CHAINS DIDN'T MOLD HIM.

A. Catnret Deserter from the Army Oets Away Again. iPhlladelpliia An almost miraculous escape was made on Friday by a deserter from the United States army, who was handcuffed and chained to a bedstead at the recruiting rendezvous, Twentieth and Market streets. The prisoner was Condy Boyle, a powerfully built young Irishman, who hails from Allentown. Ho enlisted in the United States army on November 1 for service in the far West, fighting the Indians.

A week's contemplation of this act and a taste of military discipline in the barracks in this city convinced Boyle that he had mistaken bis calling in setting himself up as a target for the redskins. He therefore took French leave of the army, and repaired to Allentown to enjoy the sweets of life among his friends. He remained in hiding lor two weeks, and then appeared in the streets of that town as boldly as before. On Thanksgiving day he was arrested and brought to Philadelphia, where he was confined in a third-story room at the barracks. A heavy chain secured his body to the bedstead, and manacles were put on Ills wrists.

A sentry with loaded musket was stationed by the door outside the room, but no precaution was taken to guard the window, as it was high above the ground. In some manner Boyle managed to work loose the screws holding the bedstead together. Tho chain could not be detached from a portion of the bed about three feet long and two feet broad, and this was tied to his back by scraps of rope taken from the bed. He then Jumped upon a shed roof fourteen feet below, and from there slid to a brick pavement twenty-two feet beneath. From there he scaled a wooden fence eleven feet high and made his escape.

Neither Bovle nor the bedstead can be found, but It is suppose'd the man must have had some help in getting awav. He would have been sent to Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, in a few days for trial by court-martial, and as five deserters have already'been reported from this district this year, it is probable Bovle's sentence would have been severe. Cirls Learning; to Fence. The rage for the development of muscle among young women in New York is increasing.

The gymnasiums for the fair sex are crowded, and now an insatiable desire to learn the art of fencing has seized the fashionable world. That it is the style in Europe is quite enough to inspire the giWs in this country vi ith an ambition to learn it. and it is altogether likely that scores of young women will this winter lie poking foils at each other. Dr. Pierce's "Favorite Prescription" is a most powerful restorative tonic, also combining the most valuable nervine properties, especially adapted to the wants of debilitated ladies suffering from weak back, inward fever; congestion, inflammation or ulceration, or from nervousness or neuralgic pains.

By druggists, MORE XVI0EKCE Of iarEFFICIEXCY. We give elsewhere another unanswerable column of what Mr. Faxon would call "cold facts" about the water supply of the city of Boston. The long-suffering taxpayers of Boston can see by these statements how their money has been wasted in a vain attempt to secure pure water at a fair price. The colossal blunders mado all through concerning Sudbury river are clearly and forcibly stated, and how Mayor Green could sit idly by for eleven months and lean on the Water Hoard while indignaut citizens were clamoring for relief and a remedy passes our comprehension.

It Is a striking commentary on his own lack of Judgment and discernment that he has not met this question vigorously and boldly. The Water Board has been consistent in securing and spending large sums of money, but bas not produced adequate results. The most aggravating part of the whole business Is tbe fact that with all this prodigal outlay of money we have succeeded In obtaining what is proverbially the worst water that any community now distributes to its citizens. Little one-borse towns away in the West will drink their muddy water and congratulate themselves that they do not have to outrage their stomachs by drinking bad water" as do the cultured denizens of Boston. This controversy, as to the quality of the water supplied to our city, bas been raging for nearly two years; this Indignant protest of the suffering victims has been falling upon ears of leaden dulness and awful stupidity.

It Is true that they trembled 'and are afraid. It is true that somebody suggested the necessity for a complete change not one, but the whole. The only way and manner In which It has met tho remonstrances and petitions of our citizens bas demonstrated its complete incapacity. Tbe water bas been too much for it it is useless to put people off when they are paying large sums for spring water rather than drink the stuff which was offered as an equivalent for their water rates. Instead of showing any degree of conciliation and a disposition to allay tbe natural feelings of resentment, or to seriously and candidly receive the suggestions that have honestly been offered to aid in removing a great difficulty, it has churlishly repelled ail approaches, and now is trying to screen Itself from condemnation under tbe protecting excuses of tbe honorary commission which is to tell us all about it, but which cannot grasp the subject without years of study and experience.

The Republican ticket for aldermen probably could be made stronger, but we believe it contains the name of not a single candidate in favor of bringing political consideration into the election of city officers. It is of "no consequence." as Toots would say, whether tbe aldernmnic ticket consists of seven Democrats and five Republicans or seven Republicans and five Democrats, provided it is made up of men who in their official action will ignore party. (Transcript. The first statement is a brazen falsehood, and tbe Transcript Insults the Intelligence of the community by making it Messrs. Stebbins, Pratt, Hart and Hersey voted every time against the promotion of Mr.

Morrissey in the assessors' department because -he was a Democrat and because Mr. Long was a Republican. We defy the Transcript to show any other valid reason for their act In this instance. As for the second statement, It is too silly to deserve serious notice. Of course It makes no difference who the men are or bow they vote on other occasions provided they vote as the Republican managers dictate in city matters.

But no risks are ever taken by the managers. They always make sure to have a majority of men on their ticket "fixed." We have several times invited those who are opposed to the re-election of Senator Hoar to state the reasons which are to their minds sufficient to make it unadvlsable to return him to the Senate. But we have failed to elicit any answer. Journal. We are surprised that the Journal should make this statement.

We have pointed out on various occasions valid reasons for the defeat of Senator Hoar. We will repeat one or two now. Mr. Hoar Is not In sympathy with the people of Massachusetts or with the President of the United States on tbe question of public expenditure for Internal improvements. He voted to pass tho river and harbor bill over the President's veto, and when Massachusetts resented the act he told her he would do so again.

On tbe question of the tariff Mr. Hoar is not In line with the people. He is wedded to the theory of extreme protection. For these reasons. If there were none other, Mr.

Hoar should be kept at home. George M. Hobbs waa dropped by the Republicans because he was a Democrat. Mr. Hobbs has been on the School Board for over fifteen years and is one of the best equipped members in that body.

But he nominated Albert Palmer at a Democratic convention, and he is forever condemned by the "non-partisan" clique which runs the g. o. p. here in Boston. We ask the ritlzens of Boston to look at their tax bills and decide whether a "non-partisan" government, responsible to nobody but the little clique which put It In power, Is not too expensive a luxury.

The one we now have increased the tax rate from 13 OO per 81000 to 815 10 per 81000, while tbe taxable property of the city Increased over itt.OOO.ooo. Tho Polo Championship. In view of the fact that the Newport Polo Club, in a recently published letter, severely commented upon certain polo games played last month in this city under the title of "championship games," and asserted its exclusive claim to the title of "champions of the United States," the following challenge will be read with Interest: The Alpha Polo Club, champions of Massachusetts, hereby challenge the Newport Polo Club, champions of the United States, to play a game of polo for the champion of the United States and six gold medals at the Olympian Club roller skating rink In Boston, Friday evening. December 15, i 882. Rules of play to be mutually agreed upon by the two captains.

Price, the receiver of the Pacific National Bank of Boston, has given notice that the comptroller of the currency has levied an assessment upon the stockholders of the Paciilc National Bank of this city of $100 a share, payable at the olhce of the receiver, as follows: $Ao a share within thirty days trom December 1 jjno a share within sixty days from December 1. He requests stockholders to pay the amount of their assessments according to the notice, otherwise the whole assessment will bear interest from November 27, 18u, and suit will be commenced to eniorce payment.

In the equity suit of Learnard vs. Geer, to redeem a mortgage given by Geer to Learnard, in the Supreme Judicial Court yesterday, before Judge Allen, the deiendant claimed that the premises were sold by an unlicensed auctioneer; that, where a mortgagee purchases the estate under such circumstance, the sale is illegal. The Judge said he would rule upon this point at a later stage of the ease, and sent it to a master for his finding in certain disputed facts. Notice to Mariners. Lighthouse Inspector W.
