College Honor (?) Deteriorating.
, College honor is at a low ebb in the
University of Pennsylvania. A number
of freshmen and sophomores actually
refused to take part in the annual "bowl
fight" on the campus a few days ago;
and, very properly, have been con
demned by their classmates to ducking
in the frog pond of the Botanical gar
dens.
In the face of a great moral crisis of
this kind it is not surprising to read
that the classes forgot their traditional
hatred of each other, and Joined enthu
siastically in chastising the poltroons.
One of the degenerates had the effront
ery to tell the ducking committee that,
he had kept out of the fight because he
didn't want to ruin his clothes. "A howl
of derision went up at this,"and he was
hustled off to the pond. Another young
freshman had the "nerve" to confess
that he kept out of the class battle be
cause his parents told him he must. Of
course, there was but one thing to do
with such a "mamma's boy" as that —
dump him in the frog pond—and it wag
•done.
The most humiliating case of all, how
ever, was that of two sophomores who
would not fight. Humiliated in the ex
treme, the classmates of these men de
livered them over to the freshmen to
be hazed. "For an hour," wrote an ob
server, "they were compelled to push
pennies around on the gravel with their
noses, sing, and make speeches, while
the crowd looked on and jeered." The
case of Pennsylvania may seem hope
less, with such cowards in the student
body, but it is cheering to read that
"hazing will continue until every fresh
man or sophomore who failed togo in
the bowl fight is given a trial."
The Honest Man's Duty.
Now we are not so unjust, we hope, as
to accept as true a wholesale indictment
of business men as sucli, especially indi
viduals who manage their own business,
have high ideals and are satisfied with
a reasonable return on their invest
ments, says the Congregationalism
The business men who have turned
business into treason are relatively few
but especially conspicuous, and they
work under the form of the corpora
tion or monopoly. They tolerate meth
ods as directors of corporations which,
had they remained individual employ
ers, they would have scorned to employ.
They water stocks and capitalize air,
and expect the public to pay dividends
on the same. They bribe members of
boards of education, municipal legis
lators and national parties. They steal
with one hand l and donate to churches,
colleges, hospitals and to social better
ment with the other. They denounce
anarchy imported from Europe, and
manufacture it themselves at home.
They would be Insulted were their loy
alty to democracy challenged, when in
sooth they are both spokesmen for
plutocracy and its exemplars.
Obviously, If these things be true,
those who believe in honesty In busi
ness, in statecraft, have certain duties
to perform.
Can it be possible that there has been
i failure in the snake crop? Whatever
the cause this spring's lack of snake
stories has been so painfully obvious
that the snake eulors are being forced
into writing head lines for the religious
notes. Has no Kansas farmer yet plowed
tip a bunch of rattlesnakes as large as a
rain-barrel and as round as a billiard
ball that rolled after hiru, hissing,
across the field? Are all the ten-foot
blacksnakes killed out of the wilds of
New Jersey? Has no two-year-old
child in Hooppole township, Posey
county, Ind., vet been observed playing
in the front yard with a friendly
spotted adder? Whore are the snakes
of yesteryear?
It is not absolutely impossible that
"course" dinners go out of fashion, not
from too obvious reasons, but bfcause
overnourished society is tired of spend

old dishes. When such a trencherman
as King Edward limits his dinner to
one hour either he must eat too last or
there are not more than four or five
courses. Who knows if the lavish
flummery of the up-to-date dinner party
Is not passing. like some other wornout
caprices, and soon the world of wealth

THE MAYFLOWER MATTER.
Secretary Moody Gives Facts Which
Set at Naught Some Dem
ocratic Charges.
■Replying to a criticism of the use of
the naval yacht Mayflower, filed in tho
house for reproduction in the Congres
sional Record by Representative Wil
liams, of Mississippi, in the form of a
newspaper dipping, Representative
Koss, chairman of the naval affairs
committee, according to the Washing
ton Star, has filed, also to be printed
in the Record, a letter from Secretary
Moody giving a detailed history of the
use of the Mayflower by the president.
He says the Mayflower is not, as was
stated in the criticism, denominated as
"the president's yacht." Continuing,
the secretary says:
"She receives her orders from the de
partment in the same manner as other
vessels. In accordance with a custom
of long standing, however, a vessel of
the navy has been placed at the dispo
sition of the president from time to
time as he may direct. The Mayflower
has been the vessel selected for this
service, under directions from the pres
ident that at no time should she be
diverted from any naval duties for
which she might be needed. It would
be an injustice to the officers and men
of the Mayflower to suppose that her
sole or principal use was that of a
yacht."
The secretary details the use of the
Mayflower during the Spanish war at
length:
"The only use of the vessel made by
the president, or by his direction, has
been since the beginning of her present
commission, June 28, 1902. During
these 21 months she has cruised 22,000
miles, which Is considerably more than
the average of our vessels. The presi
dent has spent aboard her at various
times a total of something less than 40
hours and has traveled in her 94 miles.
He has spent one night aboard her, be
ing detained there by bad weather on
his return from a review of the nation
al guard in the state of New Jersey,
undertaken at the invitation of the
governor of that state. Of these 40
hours all, except on one occasion, were
spent in the performance of official du
ties. '
"The total time spent on board the
vessel by members of the president's
family or guests has been one week,
and the distance traveled while they
have been aboard has been 410 miles.
"All expenditures of every nature oc
casioned by the visit of the president or
any of his family or guests have been
paid by him. The Mayflower has never
been 'held for the president's use,' nor
at any time has any money been ex
pended on 'refurnishing the ship a 9 the
president's private yacht,' nor for 're
fitting and repairing for the president's
personal use,' nor for 'keeping the
Mayflower at the disposition of the
president." Since she last went Into
commission there has been absolutely
no change in her interior fittings, ex
cept for the comfort of the crew, the
installation of wireless telegraphic ap
paratus for Increased signaling facili
ties, and for the increase of the battery
by the addition of two four-inch
breech-loading rifles. During her pres
ent commission there has been expend
ed on her for repairs and additions
for the purposes above named, $79,240.
These expenditures are similar in char
acter to those made upon other ships,
and are not excessive.
"I have the honor to say In closing
that, according to the best of my
knowledge and belief, the Mayflower
has not been diverted an hour from
any naval duty for which she was need
ed, nor has a dollar of the public
money been expended for the pleasure
or convenience of the president or any
of his family or guests."

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1904.
NOTHING BUT DEFAMATION.
Bryan's Malicious Attacks Upon
Those Who Are Not of His
Way of Thinking.
Mr. Bryan has been maligned by many
intemperate critics, but his fame began
in his own intemperance, of utterance,
and he furnishes good texts every week
for exhortations in behalf of sanity,
sobriety and fair judgment, says the
Chicago Record-Herald. In the latest
number of the Commoner, for example,
there is an assault upon Judge Parker,
whose gratuitous assumptions and of
fensive implications -would be possible
only to an irrational, self-absorbed per
son whose sense of the decencies of con
troversy was thoroughly benumbed by
his violent prejudices.
Mr. Bryan says that "there is no doubt
that the corporate interests have an un
derstanding with Judire Parker." If
this means anything it is that the judge
as president would be the mere tool of
the corporations. He would violate his
oath to help them, would make his ad
ministration subservient to thein in
every respect. A specific charge is that
he would appoint corporation men to
the supreme court, and in this connec
tion there is a characteristic fling at the
three democratic justices and Justice
Holmes for their dissent from the mer
ger decision. These four judges and
Judge Parker himself are traduced
through a mean innuendoas though they
were faithless to their trust and the ene
mies of the people. For the effect on
his readers' minds Mr. Bryan might as
well declare that they were vile, cor
rupt parasites, who were betraying the
public at the behest of capitalistic com
bines.
When the most is admitted for him—
namely, that he is an honest enthusiast
for a cause—it is very apparent never
theless that his methods are inexcusable.
The effrontery or the insensibility with
which he ascribes evil traits and evil
motives to other men is amazing. By
common report all the judges at whom
he sneers are upright, conscientious of
ficials and citizens. There is nothing
that we have read in the reviews of
Judge Parker'B life which would indicate
that he was not fully as scrupulous as
Mr. Bryan, as good a man, as good a
neighbor, as honest a politician. But the
Bryan opinion briefly stated is that
Bryan represents not only all the vir
tues but all the people, all humanity,
while Parker is a malignant, abhorrent
monstrosity formed to do the bidding
of soulless and wicked creations of the
law.
That, we say. is the Bryan opinion be
cause it is the logical deduction from
the Bryan insinuations. Looking at the
spirit and import of the latter, it would
really be impossible to exaggerate them
by any form of statement. They carry
the grossest insults to every person -who
falls under the displeasure of the cen
sor, and the insensate egotism from
which they spring is becoming infinitely
wearisome.
THE HEARST ABOMINATION.
Something to Arouse the Moral In
dignation of the Ameri
can People.
A recent dispatch from St. tells
how Mr. Hearst has been trying to buy
up the hotel accomodations of the city
during the convention. He succeeded in
part—having secured whole floors in
some hotels. It is estimated that his
hotel bills for convention week will be
$20,000. His convention bills—but the
subject is painful. We mean, in a very
serious sense, that the subject Is pain
ful. It is one of the most humiliating
that an American citizen can discuss.
We have read how the Roman empire
was bought; for the first tLjne there is
an attempt to buy the American presi
dency. There is no use trying to dis
guise the essence of the procedure. In
deed, we doubt if there is any attempt
at disguise. There certainly is none on
the part of the would-be purchaser. His
attempt to get the nomination to the
presidency by one of the two great
parties in the country is confessedly
based on the purchase of delegates—let
us call things by their right name all
the way through; there is no use to talk
euphoniously about the "use of money"
by Mr. Hearst. His "use of money"
means that he is buying deleg es, says
the Indianapolis News find. Dem.).
There is just this difference between
the present and that of Rome,
when the empire went to the highest
bidder —that was actual bargain sale and
delivery. This is a purchase of men in
private capacity to compel a national
convention to nominate the purchaser.
Of course, the methods for election
would be those used for the nomination
—the purchase of everybody that could
be bought. It is the most disgraceful
episode in the national history. The
moral indignation of the American peo
ple ought to be aroused against those
that have part and lot in this matter,
and give them to feel that there is dig
nity and sanctity of citizenship in this
America that resents a proposition of
putting the highest office in the gift of
the people in one scale and millions of
money in another. We are commercial
ized, heaven knows, but we are dis
graced unspeakably every day that tMe
Hearst infamy can be talked of serious
ly or at all, except in denunciation.
trrThe discovery of Mr. Bryan'sCom
inoner that "Parker is not available"
! will lend considerable zest to the cam
paign of the coming candiuate. —N. Y
World (Dem.).
ID'No ruling adverse to Mr. Bryan
can be appreciated by Mr. Bryan. No
point made against him is regarded by
him as settled. He doesn't stand by
the decisions. He kicks against them.
Twice the grtat court of the American
people has ruled against Mr. Bryan. He
doesn't accept the ruling. He doesn't
esteem the points adjudicated as dis
posed of. He abuses the court an'l a"
cus«s it of corruption.—N. Y. Sun.
WORK OF FIREBUGS.
Six People Cremated in
Their Home.
Reign of Terror Prevailed at Garrett,
Pa., Because of a Strike. —Armed
Strikers Paraded the Streets
of the Town.
Somerset, Pa., April 10. —An out
break even more disastrous than the
riot at Boswell last January, has been
hourly expected at the town of Gar
rett, the scene of the mining opera
tions of the Garrett Coal Co., the
Somerset Coal Co. and other lesser
operations. Trouble has been brew
ing there ever since the inauguration
of the miners' strike five months ago.
A number of the striking miners at
Garrett own homes there, but recently
the Garrett Coal Co. erected a number
of houses, and the bringing in of new
men to occupy these houses and take
the places of the strikers in the mines
has worked the latter up to a high
state of excitement and resentment
and for the last few days the town
has been a veritable mine of indigna
tion that might easily be exploded and
probably result in great loss of life
and property. The strikers have been
parading the streets openly armed,
and they have prevented the moving
of the household goods of incoming
miners from the railroad station to
the new company houses.
A horror that may or may not be
connected with the strike situation at
Garrett, was the burning to death of
two women and four children in
their home at that place between tho
hours of 2 and 3 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
Strikers armed with Winchester
rifles paraded the streets yesterday.
They say this demonstration is to
prevent the Italians from leaving the
community before the coroner's in
quiry has been completed. They say
that in doing this they are acting
under the instruction of the township
constable.
When Sheriff Coleman reached
Garrett last evening with his deputies,
he found no alarming condition of af
fairs. The sheriff's first work was to
arrest two Italians who were charged
with setting fire to the Meyers house.
The only evidence thus far against
the two Italians was a statement
made by Meyers, in which he alleges
that they called at his house several
days ago to buy some butter, and
that when told that Meyers would not
sell butter to scabs they left, swear
ing vengeance.
During Monday night many shots
were fired, but no fatalities resulted.
Three months ago the Garrett Coal
Co. secured an injunction restraining
the strikers and all other persons
from interfering with the company's
employes. This injunction is still in
force, and the present condition of af
fairs is in open violation of it.
MILLIONS LOST BY FIRE.
Toronto, Ont., Is Swept by a Terrible
Conflagration.
Toronto, Ont., April 20. —Fire swept
through a section of Toronto's whole
sale business district last night, caus
ing a loss which will run up into the
millions. The fire started in a fac
tory in Wellington street about 9
o'clock. In less than an hour the
flames had spread from building to
building on both sides of the street
until the whole block was a mass of
flames and the fire was utterly be
yond control of the local department.
Appeals were sent to every surround
ing city where fire apparatus could bo
obtained asking for assistance. Mon
treal, London, Hamilton and Buffalo
responded, but it will be hours before
they can be of assistance.
It was believed at 11 o'clock that
the fire was under control, but a sud
den shift in the wind again fanned tho
flames into a roar, and clouds of
sparks and burning brands were car
ried down side streets until three en
tire blocks were doomed.
Toronto, Ont., April 21. —The total
loss by the fire which destroyed the
wholesale district of Toronto Tuesday
nifcht will, according to the most con
servative estimates, reach $12,000,000.
The total insurance is $8,300,000.
The area swept by the fire em
braced 14 acres and from 5,000 to
7,000 persons are thrown out of em
ployment. The work of tearing down
the dangerous walls was begun yes
terday.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.

Harrisburg, Pa., April 20. —The
democratic state convention which
was held here Tuesday refused to in

of Philadelphia, was nominated by
acclamation lor supreme court jus
tice to succeed himself for the lull
term of 21 years.
The national delegates and electors
chosen by the delegates from the Fif

ferred to a committee to be appointed
by State "bairman Mall. Chairman
Hall will be re-elected to-day by the
state committee at its annual session.
A Murder at the Polls.
New Orleans, April 20. —The elec
tion yesterday resulted in a tragedy
at Gonzales, La., where the "Lily
Whites" and democrats are closely
divided. Capt. Sam Moore, former
sheriff under the democrats, who was
leading the "Lily White" faction, be
came involved in a dispute at the
polls and was killed by Deputy Sheriff
Ed Smith. Moore was attempting to
post pictures of negro officeholders
under the democratic administration.
Smith interfered on the ground that
the pictures would breed trouble at
the polls.
CUT DOWN YOUR FEED.
One of Yale's Scientists Says Wt Eat
Too Much.
Washington, April 21. —The chief
paper read yesterday before the Na
tional Academy of Sciences was a de
scription of a series of experiments
recently conducted by the Sheffield
scientific school, of Yale, to determine
if the average human being is not eat
ing too much. Prof. Russell H. Chit
tenden, the director of the school,
who conducted the experiments, and
who read the paper, made the state
ment that the average healthy man
eats from two to three times as much
as he needs to keep him in perfect
physical and mental health and vigor.
Prof. Chittenden said three classes
of men were experimented on, several
professors at the school, including
Prof. Chittenden h'mself, several
students and a squad of United States
soldiers. There was a gradual reduc
tion of meat and other proteid foods,
with little if any increase in starch
and other foods in nearly all tho
tests. No fixed regimen was re
quired in any case, the endeavor be
ing to satisfy the appetite of each
subject. In only one case was meat
entirely eliminated from the diet.
At the end of the experiments,
which lasted from six months until
nearly a year and were concluded
only a few days ago, the entire lot of
men who had been Prof. Chittenden's
subjects were in the best of health.
Their weight in some cases was al
most exactly the same as when the
! experiments were begun and in soma
slightly lower. Their bodily vigor
: was greater and their strength was
| much greater, partially owing to their
! regular physical exercises during tho
! experiments and partially owing,
| Prof. Chittenden believes, to the less
amount of food eaten.
The daily consumption of food at
the close of the experiments was
i much less than the recognized stand
ard and from a third to a half as
much as the average man eats.
LARGE AND STORMY.
West Virginia Democratic Convention
was Full of Excitement.
Charleston, W. Va., April 21. —The
largest and the stormiest democratic
convention ever known in this state
was held here Wednesday. Many
democrats took advantage of the oc
casion to vent their criticisms of
others. Warren Hayes, who was
selected as a district delegate and
who is a supporter of Hearst for the
presidency, while making a speech
from a box in the theater where the
convention was held, scored ex-Sena
tor Camden as a bolter in the past,
and with emphasis gave the lie to a
delegate who, an hour previous, had
been selected as an alternate to St.
Louis, because the alternate had
branded Hays in open convention as
a greenbacker. The alternate, Col.
McCoy, of Tyler county, leaped upon
a chair in the convention hall and re
sponded in stentorian tones that Mr.
Hayes was a liar.
Senator Camden and the reorganiz
es were otherwise fiercely attacked
by "regulars," but they had many
warm supporters, many of whom
were Bryan democrats, who came to
their aid at the proper time. And
yet, notwithstanding the stormy
scenes, the convention ended in per
fect harmony and amid enthusiasm.
Henry G. Davis, who is a cousin ol
Senator Gorman, was forced to re
spond with a speech to repeated and
urgent calls. When Mr. Davis men
tioned the name of Gorman the dele
gates gave a remarkable ovation.
The four delegates at large and all
the district delegates except the two
from the Fourth district are for Gor
man for president first and Par .er
second.
ACQUITTED OF BRIBERY.
Jury Decides that Senator Burns Did
Not Receive Pay for Supporting a
Certain Bill.
Grand Rapids, Mich., April 21. —
State Senator David E. Burns was
yesterday acquitted of bribery in con
nection wH,h the Lake Michigan
water scandal. The jury was out five
hours.
The charge of bribery against Sen
ator Burns related to a bill which he
introduced in the state legislature of
1893. It was alleged that this bill
was backed by the men interested in
the water deal and that Senator
Burns was paid S2OO for his efforts in
support of the measure.
The chief witness for the prosecu
tion was ex-City Attorney Lant K.
Salsbury, who swore he paid Burns
the money in the interest of the Lake
Michigan deal. The defense was a
general denial and alibi as to the time
Salsbury said he paid the money to
Burns. The case has been on trial
for two weeks. This was the first
acquittal in the water scandal cases.
Three present and former city offic
ials have been convicted and ten have
pleaded guilty.
The Colored Man Wins.
Springfield, 111.. April 21. —The su
preme court yesterday, in the fa
mous case of the mayor and city
council of Alton against Scott Bibbs,
colored, for a second time reversed
the decision of the Madison county
circuit court, which refused to issue
an order on the mayor and council
of Alton to admit Bibbs to the Wash
ington school, that being the nearest
school for him to attend. The Doug
lass and Lovejoy schools had been
set apart in Alton for use of colored
pupils. The supreme court holds
that the contention of the city coun
cil that no discrimination was made
against Bibbs on account of his color
is ridiculous.
Instructed for Roosevelt.
Burlington, Vt„ April 21.—The re
publican state convention here yester
day elected four delegates to the na
tional convention at Chicago and in
structed them to vote for the nomi
nation of President Roosevelt. Three
of the national delegates, United
States Senator Dillingham, Dr. \V.
Seward Webb, of Shelburne, and H.
N. Turner, of St. Johnsbury, were
clicsen without a confc'st. For fourth
place, H. S. Bingham, of Bennington,

The Order Was Given in Words That
Admitted of a Wrong Inter
pretation.
The t rain on which the distinguished
citizen was traveling for the purpose of
fulfilling a lecture engagement was late,
and he arrived at his destination only
an hour or two before the time appoint
ed for the meeting.
He went straight to a hotel and was
shown up to his room, relates the Chicago
Tribune,
lie was tired and dusty.
"Hoy," he said, "bring me a whisk."
The boy went to execute the mission,
and a few moments later a committee
from the local society under whose aus
pices he was to appear called upon him
in his room. •
He was conferring with the committee
when the boy returned, bearing a trav
containing a glass of water and a smuil
glass with a red liquid in it.
"What's this?" he demanded.
"It's the whisky you ordered, sir."
"I didn't order any whisky!" he gasped.
"I ordered a whisk broom!'
But every member of the committee
representing the Turkeyville Total Ab
stinence society will believe to his dying
day that the distinguished lecturer got
exactly what he had ordered on that oc
casion.
