The sleuth, Is Dr. Richard I). flarlan, special representative of the George Washington Unlveralty, and he la halfway around the globe with hi eye on the purse strings of the Laird of SUbo. Dr. Harlan comes of flirhtins etoek that is noted for it dogged persistency. Ills father is the noted and venerable member of the United States supreme bench, while one of hi brothers at one time waa a member of the Chicago city council and later was twice a candidate for mayor of that city on the Rcpubli- can ticket. The Chlcaao brother1 ca reer a a Chicago city father was pic- tureque. Fearless, he set out to balk graft wherever he found It, and always when referring to fellow members of the council on the floor of the council chamber, he dubbed those w1ioe records aere black, aa "the biped from the (tecnth ward." Dr. Rii-hnrd I). Harlan is of the true Harlan type more tlsan ix feet in height, broad-shouldered, deep-voiced and vigoivu. Hl avowed reason for go ing abroad is to study the systems in vogue in the schools of the political eiences in France and England, but not the least part of Wa work will be to con vince Mr. Carnegie that a an opportu nlty for patriotic investment, the George Washington movement U both time and gilt-edged. ine educator was in Puns this week, and in the course of an interview with a representative of the New York Herald ho told of the work he Is engaged In. The interview follows: "It is an effort to develop at the capi tal of the nation the great university which George Wellington in his lifetime o earnestly endeavored to induce Con greas to establish, nud for which in his will he left 25,0(10 pounds ($125,000) of utock in the Potomac Navigation Com pany as a nucleus for its endowment an exceedingly generous legacy for those days. It is a standing reproach to American patriotism that the plan that was so much on Washington's mind and heart should have remained thus in prac Heal oblivion for a hundred veer. "On account of modern conditions the present movement differ from Washing. ton's plan in two important particular, affeoting in no way the essentials of that plan. It Is to be almost entirely a uni versity for graduate work, nnd it i3 to bo founded. by private benefactors in- tead of being supported and controlled by tlw government. llie now movement has one great practical advantage. The nucleus is al ready established. It ha e.lghty-five years 0f history behind it. It already has 1,300 students and about 200 teachers and owns $1,000,000 wortfi of real estate. It is the old Columbian University of Washington, D. C, with a new ciinrter, a new aim and a new name." Wasliingtoninns are deeply Interested in Dr. Harlan's errand abroad.- The success of hi quest means much to the onpitaJ, for it will result in the national ization of the local university, in every sense that term implies, and the erec tion of another" block of magniflcinet j buildings to add more beauty to the ar chitectural triumphs of the capital of the United States It is expected that Dn Harlan will leave for the Hague by Jhe end of the present t1 i MMtimmmnniii m mmmii WE HAVE CUSTOMER FOR taenfonf ropeittr If you want to sell your property : (ilJiaa LIST ?1 ;2 biolkT nam: IT WITH US- ,4 t it f : .
