One OF the advantages Of collegiate train
ing is brought to notice in the necroloeical re-
port OF the Andovsr Theological Seminary for
1S00-91. or the forty-six deceased alumni
whose age Is chroniclsd. eight were over sixty,
fourteen over seventy. nineteen over eighty
two over ninety. and the average age Of the
whole body OF decedents was seventy-six
yearsl This is surely q splendid record. And
the alumni who thus enjoyed long life were
graduated while yet the advantages OF athletic
sports were unapprecIated by colleGians! It
seems to US that with proper muscular de-
velopment In youth. college graduates ought
to be lively and vigorous for at least century.
The Committee Of the Board OF Aldermen
on Fire Departments and Buildings has re-
ported that It Is outrageous that those persons
who pay only fifty cents admission to the

"scorching rays OF the sum-" and that the fact
that twenty-five cents extra only is charged
for admission to the grand stand does not
exempt the Aldermen from their duty to
their poorer fellow citizens. Do not the noble
Aldermen forget In this discriminat opinion
the poor but worthy youths who peck through
holes in the fences and who peer iGnobly over
1 s top? Should not these budding Senators.
in more than one sense. have hearing. and
be recognized? Is 1t more painful to be OK
posed to the Gun without shade than without
a drink? Might not lager be substituted for

And why should the noble souls who rise

national ball he supposed to suffer moro from
heat than from thirst and hunger? Let the
worthy Aldermen provide not only front seats
for everybody. but beer and sandwiches for
all the patriots who dare 10 attend the national
