Judgo Bennett Decides Sections or
Acts Devoid.
Wllkes-Barre, May 23. Judge Ben
nett handed down an Important opin
ion Saturday morning In the o.uo war
ranto proceedings against the Plttston
school controllers, and If he Is sustained
In the higher court It will abolish the
ofllce of school controller. The contest
was to settle the question whlthe thft
city of Plttston is entitled to two school
controllers from each of the eleven
wards comprising the city, or be gov
erned by six controllers, elecled at
large throughout tho city,
The proceeding was brought at the
suggestion of District Attorney Fell,
and calls Into question the constitu
tionality of section 41 of the act of
May 23, 1S74, and of the amending acts
of June, 1891. It Is alleged that the
acts are unconstitutional, because they
are local class legislation. Judge Ben
nett, In his opinion, sustained this view
of the matter, and It affects all third
class cities In the state not governed by
special legislation passed prior to an
upsetting of the methods In vogue as
to school government.

J, SCOTT INGLIS,
One of Ills Old Pupils, a Newspaper
Woman, Makes Notes of a
Talk with Him.
From the New York Tribune.
When the future embassador extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary
of the United States to Germany was
lu New York tho other day a. woman
came out of the Waldorf just as ho was
passing by. First she thought, "Yes,
I will;" then she said to herself, "No,
I won't." Finally, she did.
"Aren't you ex-President White?"
sho asked, trying to feel brave when
she accosted him. It did notjseem nec
essary to say to what he was ex
presldent. "Yes," he answered.
"I'm a Cornell girl," she said simply,
certain that her explanation would win
her tho Bmlle that it did. They walked
up Fifth avenue together.
"You are the second Cornelllan I have
greeted within the last few momenta,"
said President White kindly. "I meet
Cornell graduates everywhere, and I
am always pleased to see them."
The girl's heart swelled with pride.
"You might turn your walk about New
York Into a triumphal procession," sho
thought. "Men and women would flock
to you from all quarters, and I would
gladly bo your standard bearer. Few
have done more than you to help along
the cause of the highter education of
women In America. You do not know
how many pay you allegiance in their
hearts."
But he was speaking, und she had
to answer.
" 'What are you doing In New York?
Ah, working on a newspaper! That Is a
new career for women, ono that was
not thought of in my day. It must
bring you Into contact with many sides
of life. Do you like It? Do they give
you pleasant work to do? I wonder
if you were sent to hear the lecture
given the other night by your fellow
Cornelllan, Garrett P. Servlss, a re
markably lucid and beautiful exposi
tion of "The evolution of the earth?"
"When wero you at Cornell'" he ask-
1 a moment later. "I left In '94," sho
answered. "You went to Russia at tho
end of my sophomore jear, and I was
heartbroken to think I was not to hear
your lectures In European history."
But the girl smiled to herself as sho
thought how well acquainted she had
always felt with the man to whom she
was speaking then for the first time
In her life. It is a feeling that every
loyal Cornelllan knows. Whether he
be present or absent, the spirit of
Andrew Dickson White permeates the
university of which ho was tho first
president. If It were possible for his
record as a statesman and diplomat to
be forgotten, his memory would be kept
forever green by those who have known
him as a teacher, and have passed on
the gospel of a spiritual freedom that
he taught.
"Had any one asked me if I knew
President White, I would have hesitat
ed Involuntarily before I answered that
I didn't," thought the girl. "I have
heard him quoted morning, noon and
night. I have seen his haunts and lived
In them myself." And then there arose
before her mind's eye the vision of
scenes held and cherished remem
brance by many another Cornelllan.
She saw the green hills of Ithaca and
the shifting blues and browns and
greens'of the full-bosomed lake below,
tho campus with Its great stone build
ings and Its rows of professional villas
stretched between two rocky gorges,
and on the highest point of land em
bowered In the trees, where live the
squirrels that President White would
never let any one kill, the house that
Is called "the president's mansion."
She remembered how full that dear
old house Is of association with great
men. Here General Grant once stood
to receive the citizens of Ithaca. There
by .that fireside Professor Freeman, the
great historian, once sat far into the
night. Every spot, almost every dish
and every picture, has a story. She
saw again the merry circle of boys
and girls who used to assemble about
President White's library fire when
he was far away, and, sitting on the
floor in the dim light, use'd to listen
to a medieval tale told by Professor
Burr, who Is as nearly President White
as any one President White can be.
While these thoughts were In her
mind President White suddenly turned
his steps toward a book store they were
passing. In the window was displayed
the Illumined text of an ancient book.
"What a fine old manuscript!" ex
claimed President White. "You know
that's one ot my hobbles," he said, as
he bent down to look more closely at
tho text.
"Indeed I do," she answered. "I have
spent many happy hours In the Presi
dent White library at Cornell and I
know of some of Its treasures."
A homesick longing came over her
for that quiet "Witches' alcove," high
up In the stacks, where glancing up oc
casionally to look on the lake and val
ley below, she had wandered through
the pages of the "Malleus Maleficarum"
and hung over the sad story of "Diet
rich Flade."
The rumble of the Fifth avenue
stages had never seemed so loud as It
did when she thought of that peaceful
corner and "the cloistered virtue" made
possible for women by such men as An
drew D. White.
"I am glad you are going to repre
sent us In German," she said. "When
I was there two years ago they weren't
very friendly to women at tho Univer
sity of Berlin."
He smiled and told her how he had
helped Miss Thomas, one of Cornell's
first women graduates, to obtain recog
nition at Leipslc.
"But I couldn't hear half he said,"
remarked the girl to a friend later,
"for the wheels, on the Fifth avenue
cobblestones made such clatterl But
his eyes were so kind and his manner
so pleasant that I never In my life was
so glad 1 could say that Cornell Is my
alma mater."

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Review.
Now York, May 22. The conditions
In today's stock market were essentially
different from those prevailing for sev
eral days past. There was a marked
under current of strength through the
whole list und the tendency of prices
was interruptedly upwards with the
exception ot the coalers, but this failed
to incite an out&lde participation in
the market and the dealings were small
and most of them In a few active
stocks. The market wholly lacked
breadth, many stcckn In the equally
active list having not a single transac
tion to their credit. The total sales
of stocks today were 54,57-1.
