Eiker is special agent for the Chicago Herald, and his office in New York city is at No. 50 Tribune building. He is a strong, virile man, not the sort of person to often require medicines: and is specially opposed to pills of any sort, finding them too violent in their action. In case of any irregularity he had always relied upon the use of fruits, until one day on a railway journey a friend directed his attention to Ripans Tabules and gave him some from a box he had in his portmanteau. He made use of them when occasion offered, and the result in his case was all that could be desired. He now depends upon Ripans Tabules entirely in the case of any irregularity of the : bowels or derangement of the digestive apparatus. Mr. Fiker is a picture of health and manly vigor, is a hearty eater, and he regards a Tabule after a hearty meal as a sort of insurance policy against future ills of any sort.

Harvard's one hundred and sixty-first year opened Thursday, with every indica- tion of aa increase in number in almost every department. The freshman class alone shows a gain of sixty-nine. It is ex- pected that the total attendance will be something Ike 3,500. ? Every department of Yale University is now in full blast, except the Medical and Art senha, and these will be opened in a few di The latest figures on the entering class at Princeton place the number at a slight re- duction from those at first sent out, but its membership will cxceed that of the class whick was graduated in June, thus giving the total enrollment of the university a small advance on last year’s figures. Instruction for the twenty-seventh year at Cornell University began Thursday. The prospects are that the entering class will reach 50, It seems probable that the reg- istration ill be above 2,000 this year, an increase of 200. The senior class ai Princeton has re- solved to wear the academic costume, the cap end gown, during the entire senior year, instead of beginning the custom the Second term, as in former years. The caps and gowns have already arfived, and -will be worn on all public occasions, the caps only being worn at other times. Dartmouth College has opened with an auspicious outlook. The largest freshman class in the history of the college has just entered, numbert 3, and new acquisi- tions among the upper classmen will make the number 100. Dr. W. L.

About two nionths ago Colerran was arrested and sen- tenced to sixty days on the chain gang for an assault on another colored man, and last Saturday he was released, having served his time. Immediately thereafter he had his certificate prepared for filing in the clerk's office of the corporation court.

A week or ten days ago a difficulty oc- curred in the fool room over Mr. D. W. Whiting’s saloon, on Gibbon street, between two colored men named Dan Triplett and Andrew Whiting. Triplett, it is said, cursed Whiting, who was in charge of the pool room, whereupon Whiting knocked him down with a beer bottle and kicked him, hurting him so seriously that he has been Pp ever since. Whiting waz not arrest- ed until yesterday, and when the case was called it the police court last night Triplett was urable to appear.

A Colored Woman Who Thought She Was Fatally Wounded, Blagden’s alley was the scene of what came near terminating in a homicide about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The man who used the pistol has not yet been*ap- prehended. His name is James Green, and the one who suffered at his bands is Fan- nie Brown. The woman’s teeth stopped the bullet and saved her life.

Yesterday afternoon he had a row with another colored man named Joseph Chase. Roy Rice, who happened to come along at the time attempted to act es peacemaker. He soon learned that the par- licipauts in the fight wanted no outside interference. Green turned upen him and fired. He fired two shote, and one of them, as alrecdy stated, took effect in the w man’s mouth. So far as Precinct Detec- tive Barnes could learn the woman had been an interested spectator and had told ~ peacemaker to Ict the men finish the fight. aanie Brown believing that she had re- ceived a fatal wound came rear fainting and cried that she had been killed. Not knowing the extent of the wound the police hurried with her to Duffy's drug store, and afterward she was taken to Freedman’s Hospital, where it was seen that the bul- let had knocked out a tooth. It is said that the fight was the result of a game of cards. Today a warrant for al- leged felonious assault was issued for the - arrest of Green, and the police are looking for him. ————_ COURTS OPENED TODAY.
