HARVARp's ATHLETICS.
What Or. Sargent has to say of tho
Present System.

DIR. Dudley A. Sargent, the director Of
physical training at Harvard, made the fol-
lowing observations not long ago, with ref
erence to the system of athletics in vogue at
Harvard; Il regard the system pursued by
the Harvard authorities, in regard to keep
ing amateur athletics free from professional
ism, as decided success, and one which Is
vindicating itself every day. The prohibl-
ton of playing or practieing with profess
sionals is shown by our record in athletics
so far this year to be no injury TO our differ
ent sporting teams. We are aided by our
fine indoor and outdoor facilities, which are
unexcelled in this country. In addition to
this we are creating a public sentiment
against professionalism in this country. Har-
ward athletics are assuming purer and in
every way better tone than before. To
give them this tone is our goal. When the
strong public sentiment is aroused in the
country, other colleges will have to come
round to our position.
I'm regard to the game of football, do
not say that it could not be played in per-
feetly proper manner. 1t all depends on
the public sentiment there Is back of the
game. If public sentiment tolerated ii,
there is no reason why lacrosse should not
be played as roughly as football. Football
used to be played rightly, until the rough
and tricky game was introduced, when other
colleges were obliged to conform to this
standard of play in order to win.
There has been considerable said lately
about my finding many men who are exam
ined by me at the gymnasium afflicted with
heart disease. This is absurd. During the
time have been at Harvard less than q score
of cases have come to my notice This be-
lief is due to misapprehension. / may
have sometimes told men they had some ten
dency to heart trouble. Then they have Inn
mediately rushed away away and have said
told them they had heart disease. Such little
Variations in the beat of the heart as this can
be easily modified by gymnasium exercise,
and l have shaped their courses of practice
toward this end. have never found what /
considered as case of heart disease regard
ed in any other light by experienced physl-
clans. My records of the examinations l
have made will verify these statements.

for the next two years, and that the prices on
the others were reduced by the competition,

the BARrHcLDI STATUE.
Preparing for the Grand Reception in
New York.

New YORK, June 1S.-Popular interest
has seldom been SO deeply excited as it now
is concerning the Statue of Liberty and all
appertaining to it. The interest chiefly settles
around the naval pageant which tomorrow
will iittingly conduct the statue to its future
resting place. and it is safe to say no such
fleet has ever congregated in American wa
ters as that which will accompany the Isere
from her anchorage in Gravesend Bay to
Bedloe's Island. The occasion has been seized
upon by many French residents to manifest
their patriotism by profuse display of
bunting and offices of French steamship lines,
the French consulate and the stores and
warehouses of many French merchants are
gay with the intertwined flags of the French
and American republics, and the result is an
almost Fourth of July appearance to down
town stores and dwelling houses in the
French quarters. Workmen were busy this
morning preparing City Hall for the coming
festivities and ceremonies. The Governors
room has been polished up until it looks as
we'll as possible. The eastern apartment has
been selected for the banqueting table of the
distinguished guests; the middle room will
be prepared for those undistinguished indi-
viduals who have been fortunate enough to
obtain tickets to the banquet. The tables
will be decorated with numerous pyramids
of flowers.

The Webb's Mills iron Mine.

The Boston Journal says that at W9bb's
Mills, in the town of Casco, arrangements
have been perfected for working valuable
mine of magnetic iron ore as soon as the
price of iron shall become more favorable.
This mine has been known long time. 1t
was examined by ID. G. L. Jackson, of Bos-
ba ana IN di$ 81 reROre 70 1ms S
the strength of his report the mine was pur-
chased by Portland party, who extracted
sufficient ore to make ton of iron, and
shipped it to New Jersey to be manufactur-
ed. The death of the. proprietor soon after
country prevented any further development
of the mine till about four years ago, when
some Portland gentlemen organized them
selves into joint stock company, known as
the Iron Mountain Iron Company, and pur-
chased the property.

Lawyers FEES.
The Enormous Pri ces Paid In the Ma
Richardson Suit.

n. 4. IlnleS-
Lawyers who are connected with the large
cases which arise from time to time in our
courts are generally paid very large fees. In
the cases involving millions Of dollars arising
out of the wrecking of the Missouri Pacific
railway in 1S76-at present the backbone Of
Jay Gould's great Southwestern system-by
the late Commodore Garrison and his friends,
the legal fraternity received from all sources
nearly S1,000,000. In one OF these suits,
known as the Marie-Garrison suit, which has
recently been comprised and settled by Mr..
Gould by payment Of $l,OOO,0Oo, the coun-
Day, q large salary for eight years and $780,
600 on the settlement; Henry l.. Clinton, q
check for S65,0Oo from John L. Terry, As
signee of Mr.. Garrison, besides large sums
previously paid, aggregating over 9100, COO;
ex-Judge COmstock, $500 day for every
days work, $4,000; Joseph III. Choate, S52,-
600; Z. L.. Andrews, who was in the case
about six months, $4,000, and w. u. Putney
S35,OOO approximately. What c; A; Runkle
was paid as retainer, although he never
had anything to do with the case. is not
known, but it must have been large sum-
Neither is it known what was paid to Dillon
& Swayne, but rumor says the amount was
$4,000 All these gentlemen were in the
employ of the defendants, and their approx
mate pay was $450,000.
On behalf of the plaintiffs fewer lawyers
were retained, because their attorney was
able to carry the suits through to success
full termination without a corps of assistants,
and the fees were correspOndingly smaller.
Ex-senator Roscoe Conkling received $780,
600, and William A. Beach S1S,750, while up
date Mason W. Tyler, the attorney who drew
the original complaint and summons in 1877
and devoted nearly his whole time to the va
riouS suits here, in st. Louis and in Wash
ington, has received only $4,000. His claim
for S55,OO0 more has not yet been settled, and
there is little doubt that suit will be insti-
tuted by him against Messrs. Marie, Cutting,
Fearing, Cowdrey and others for its rec0v-
cry. Mr.. Tyler declares that he took the
case ON a contingency, and should really re-
ceive 10 per cent. of the sum taken In settle
ment, which would be 100000. So the
plaintiffs have paid out S93,75O in counsel
fees in this suit, and claim for $4,000 Is
yet to be settled.
Referee Theodore w. Dwight received for
Is months connection with the case $4,000
Thus in this one suit the lawyers have sue
ceeded in securing for themselves about

committee yesterday Mr.. Col
Inns, chairman of the committee, laid before

Tubbs, Superintendent of the Western
Union Telegraph Company at Chicago, to
the effect that during the month of February
last year he had been called upon at the
Leland Hotel in this city by Representative
offered to kill the Telegraph bill for $500;
that of this sum $500 was to be given Baker
for himself, and the remainder for distribu,.
tion among other parties. The reading of
the document occasioned quite a sensation
among the committee men, and summons
was at once sent to Mr.. Baker, who soon
made his appearance, and being sworn said
he knew Tubbs and had talked with him
upon several occasions. He explicitly denied
tion to Mr. TubbS or any one else of the
character referred to. The committee then
adjourned for the day.
