GIVE. UP COLLLGL ATHLLTIC5,
OR $3,000,000-WHICH?
Swarthmore Puzzled Whether to Withdraw From Intareoiiegiato Sports
as a Price For the Big Bequest of a Rich Quakeress.
Philadelphia. By the will of Miss Anna T. Jeanes. member of one of
the oldest and wealthiest of Pennsylvania Quaker families, Swarthmore
College Is to receive coal lands valued at, possibly, $3,000,000 if It gives up
forever all participation In intercollegiate athletics. If the trustees sol
emnly pledge themselves to forbid every possible form of physical contest
with other institutions of learning, from football to lawn tenuis, the lands
on which are collieries paying heavy royalties go to the Institution abso
lutely; If they fall to do this the property goes to other charities.
Miss Jeanes was almost the last Immediate member of her family, and
died recently In the Friends' Home, which she established. The surviving
members of the family are too wealthy to be affected by the disposal of the
14,000,000 she left. All are strict adherents to the ancient faith and their
wealth has come from the increase In values of property acquired genera
tions ago.
Swarthmore College Is a co-educational institution, maintained by
wealthy Quakers of Philadelphia, on the outskirts of the city. It has always
been distinguished for the athletic prowess of Its students. Its football,
baseball and lacrosse teams particularly have excelled, while It has pro
duced several intercollegiate champions In general athletics. Members of
the Jeanes family have from time to time helped the college, until to-day
Its productive fund is about $900,000. Miss Jeanes was always opposed to
athletics, holding they absorbed too much of the studentB' time and engen
dered harsh feelings between colleges. She made known this In her will.
The question of accepting the bequest came up at the fall meeting of
the Board of Managers and a committee, consisting of Joseph Wharton,
Charles P. Jenkins and Howard Cooper Johnson was appointed to Investi
gate the lands and make a report to the board at the next meeting in De
cember. Mr. Wharton, who Is one of the executors of the Jeanes estate, read
that portion of the will of the Quakeress relating to the institution, and the
board, several members of which are women, listened attentively. No one
seemed anxious to give up the money, but none seemed willing to tako tho
lnltiavtive in advocating the abolition of athletics.
While the committee Is investigating tho pulse of the college will be
felt. From Interviews with men prominent In the Quaker college affairs
It looks as if the rift would be rejected. Dr. O. A. Hoadley, chairman of
the Faculty Committee on Athletics, said:
"Athletics are the blood and bone of a college. They should not bo
cut out for any amount of money. The faculty are opposed to the accept
ance of the gift under the conditions Imposed."
Walter Clothier, chairman of the Alumni Athletic Committee, says that
so far as his committee goes he docs not believe athletics Bhould be given
up for any amount. He is also credited with having said that the college
would rather win a victory from the University of Pennsylvania on the ath
letic field than have the money.
Professor Hoag, who represents tho liberal element of the faculty,
said: "I talked with Miss Jeanes frequently about athletics. She was par
ticularly opposed to football, as she said she had read so much In the
papers about the accidents which attended the game. She was also opposed
to the gambling that so frequently develops over games."
Herman Prltchard, captain of the football team, said: "We would
rather have intercollegiate athletics than all the money left by Miss Jeanes,
or even all the money In Wall Street."
Swarthmore' enjoys at present an endowment of $900,000. An addi
tion of $3,000,000 to its productive funds would place it at once on the
financial standing of Brown, Princeton, the Northwestern University and
the University of California, and within a million dollars of 'ho University
of Pennsylvania.

I have read somewhere a state
ment that the anthropld apes prefer
our company to that of their fellow

It proved once in Calcutta. The lato
W. Hutledge, for many years the
leading t.nlma) dealer there and mine
of i,aturnl history Information, had
a young one In his yard, and at my
request opened its cage one day to
to let it choose Its society, wher,
quite disregarding the other mon
keys, It Immediately came over to
him and ellmhed Into his lap.
A fair sized female we hatl at the
Calcutta Zoo, also was a most, affec
tionate creature. Whert I paid a
visit to her she would always put
her arm affectionately around my
neck and while being canssed and
played with would drop any food
offered by othe.- visitors. Another
specimen of the same sex showed
the les3 amiable side of its character
by long refusing the donations of
one member of the society because
on one occasion he had first given
something to the other monkeys In
the sam house.
But I think it was on my first
introduction to the orang that the
hldde- humanity of the creature
most impressed me. This was many
years ugo when Abraham Bartled
was at the London Zoo; he gave me
a priva.3 interview with a little
oiang which had just arrived. The
first thing the little imp did was to
climb on my knee, take off my hat
and put It on his own head, after
which It proceeded gravely to pinch
one of the superintendent's ?lids.
In short, it examined us with r. scion
tiflc curiosity which In a lower ani
mal was decidedly impressive. Thin

claiming kinsh' so often denied.

WOULD CURB POWER OF FEDERAL COURTS
Attorneys-General of Thirteen States Consider Means of
Ending: State Conflicts.
Bt. iou!s. Action that may have a far-reaching effect In anti-trust and
Corporation litigation, and which may bear fruit in almost every State, was
taken by the convention of Attorneys-General of thirteen States in its final
session here.
A committee was appointed to draft a scheme of anti-trust legislation
to be sent to all Attorneys-General, and as a climax the Attorneys-General
adopted a resolution which is expected to aid In removing a thorn in the
flesh of the State officers the Interference by Federal circuit courts with
the operation of State laws.
Permanent organization also was effected, under the name of the Na
tional Association of Attorneys-General of the United States, and a united
front will be presented in legal actions brought by different States against
the same corporation or trust.
The resolution 1b a memorial to Congress, and was framed by a com
mittee composed of Attorneys-General E. T. Young, of Minnesota; Dana
Malone, of Massachusetts; A. M. Garber, of Alabama; W. T. Thompson, of
Nebraska; W. H. Dickson, of Colorado, and H. 8. Hadley, of Missouri. It
follows lines pointed out by Mr. Young. The memorial Is as follows:
"Whereas, The efficient administration, as well as the preservation, of
our dual system of government requires that each sovereignty be permitted
to exercise its function as defiued by the Federal Constitution, unhampered
by the other; therefore, be It
"Resolved, By the convention of Attorneys-General of tho several States
here assembled, that we earnestly recommend to the favorable considera
tion of the Prldent and the Congress of the United States the enactment
o! a law providing that no circuit court of the United States, or any judge
exercising powers of such circuit courts, shall have jurisdiction in any case
brought to restrain any officer of a State, or any administrative board of a
B&le. from instituting In a State court any suit or other appropriate pro
ceeding to enforce the law of such State, or to enforce any order made by
such administrative board, but allowing any person or corporation assert
ing in any Buch action in a State court any right arising under the Constitu
tion or any law of the United States to have the decision of the highest
court of such State reviewed by the Supreme Court of the United States,
as now provided by law.
"We also recommend that suits in Federal circuit court by persons in
terested In corporations to restrain such corporations from obeying the laws
of States In which they are doing business be prohibited."
The Traitor's Cap.
Among the treasures which adorned
the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a
china saucer the memorial, accord
ing to the author of "Edinburgh Un
der Sir Walter Scott," of a striking
Incident in the domestic life of Scott's
father and mother.
One autumn Mr. Scott, senior, had
a client who came regularly every
evening nt a certain hour to the
house, and remained in his private
room usually long after the famllv
I had gone to bed.
I Tho little mystery of the unknown
! visitor excited Mrs. Scott's curiosity,
and her husband's vague statements
increased it. One night, therefore,
although she knew it was against her
husband's desire, Bhe entered the
room with a salver in her hand, and
offered the gentleman a dish of tea.
Mr. Scott very coldly refused it,
but the stranger bowed and accepted
a cup. Presently ho took his leave.
Then Mr. Scott seized the empty cup
and throw It on the pavement. His
wife was astonished at first, but not
when she heard the explanation.
"I may admit into my houBe, on
business, persons wholly unworthy to
be treated as guests of my wife.
Neither lip of me or of mine comes
after Mr. Murray, of Broughton's."

A New Luxury For the President.
The new Union Railroad Station at
Washington will be supplied with t
unique feature a special entrance
and reception room for the President
of the United States. The President's
entrance is an archway of marble
thirty feet in width, says Rene Bache,
in the course of an interesting article
in Harper's Weekly. "On alighting
from his carriage beneath It, the fore
most citizen of the nation will step
into a vestibule of noble proportions
of the same wldfh as the archway,
and twenty feet in depth. In this ves
tibule the persons who accompany
him will bo waited upon by trained
attendants) while the President him
self will seek privacy in a room set
apart for his exclusive use on the
right hand adjoining. The ' Presi
dent's Room, as it is called, will be
moBt beautifully and luxuriously fur
nished. Costly Oriental rugs will
cover the floor; the ceiling will be
done In gold and color, and the walls
will bo paneled in blue silk. In the
middle will be a table suitable for
writing, provided with a solid sliver
Inkstand and other appurtenances to
match this and all the articles of
furniture being of mahogany. All
of this luxury will not cost the Chief
Executive a penny, but will be paid
for out of the pockets of tho railroad
companies."

Frenchman Piles Vp Costs Against

A wealthy Frenchman recently
bought a ticket at a Paris railway ter
minus, but missed the train ho in
tended to taka. While waiting for
the next train, which left two hours
later, he studied the company's
tariff to pass away the time.
He then found, says the Railway
and Engineering Revlow, that he had
been charged fourteen francs -forty-flve
centimes, whereas the proper
fare was only fourteen francs forty
two centimes. He asked for his
money back at the office, but without
result. An Interview with the sta
tion master was also unsuccessful.
He afterward wrote a number of let
ters to the company, hut received
no answer. He then commenced an
action io recover the three centimes.
.He won the action in the lower
court, but the company took It to
the appeal court, afterward to the
Cour de Cassation. Both courts dis
missed the appeal and the company
was ordered to pay the plaintiff the
throe centimes.
The rost to the company amounted
to 8250 francs, or $16. 10.

ample of one of these "Jeux de

city by the Seine, offered at one of
tho important clubs to wager that he
would be arrested without commit

thorities in any way. The bet or
wager was accepted. When the time
came for the accomplishment of his
purpose the prince appeared arrayed
in the most dilapidated garments. At
the hour of the aperitif he entered a
celebrated cafe of tho Boulevards.
As was natural, the gaicou, distrust
ing his appearance, demanded that
he rhould pay in advance for what
he ordered. To this he readily
agreed. He drew from his torn poc

Perfect
Womanhood
The greatest menace to woman's
permanent happiness in life is the
suffering that comes from some de
rangement of the feminine organs.
Many thousands of women have
realized this too lute to Rave their
health, barely in time to save their
lives.
To be a successful wife, to retain
the love and tidmiratinn of her hus
band, should be a woman's constant
study.
If a woman rinds that her ener
giesare flagging, that she gets easily
tired, dark shadows appear under
her eyes, she bus backache, head
ache, bearing-down sensations, ner
vousness, irregularities or the
"blues," she should start at once to
build up her system by a tonic with
speciiic powers, such as
