\ Poets View of C0rbctt.

A newspaper poet who is apparently much impressed with James J. Corbc;t'> virtues thus bursts into song anent Cor bett's trip abroad:
 Now list ye, worthy citizens, who dcprccate the game of modern pugilism, ard those wllt gather fame, well as bags of dollars, by fight. ing in the ring, 'tiS of the champion bruiSer a verse or two I'll sing.
 In times agone the bruisers who wore the champions crown were of the class of rutiians to warrant well the frown of honest disap. proval and general disesteem, for their career for years and years with brutal acts did tecm
 When not "a-slugging" rivals, they battlcd oft and long John Barleycorn, the enemy whose thick, triumphant song was loudly heard resounding one by one Lc whirlcd them over with the flowing bowl and down their fame he hurled.
 Brutality and language of the most sulphur ous sort marked each ones way by night and day between each fight he fought until the name of champion, when champion of the ring, was certainly a synonym for every wicked thing.
 But now upon the ocean a champion there floats who shines out like a lambkin Whito amid heard of goats of cbOn inky bluckness, wondrous champion he who goes to represent us in lands across the sea.
 His father and his mother, this champion good and mild has taken for a pleasure trip, and, like worthy child who honors both his parents and loves to give them joy, ho says, Papa, and you, mamma, como travel with your boy"
 His fists are hard, not so his heart; his tkih is of the best; lis language is most courteous: he's always neatly dressed; he squandcrs not his dollars on rum or comrades gay, but blows portion of it in in this most worthy way.

PROF. E. J. JAMES. to four, so as to enable students to devote some of the time during their freshman and sopho- moro years to politics, economics and practical affairs as treated in its crlrric- ulum.
 MT. Wharton has recently added an other s1o0, 900 to his donation, $75, 900 to go into tho general endowment fund and $25, 900 for the maintenance of the library. He has attached to his gifts the requirement. that tho income be expended ill giving young men thor ough education ill the principles under lying successful civil government and a training for citizenship and various prac
 tical careers particularly banking, in- surance, manufacturing and journalism. A special course in journalism was es- tablished this year and Is proving suc- cessfuL Next year course in banking and possibly one in insurance will be begun.
 The work of the freshman and sopho- more years of the Wharton course will embrace the studies usually found in the lower years of academic courses, but in addition there will be instruction in practical economic problems, account ing. the public service of the United States, physical and commercial geog- raphy, political economy and descrip- tive sociology. The studies of the junior and senior years will remain as at pres ant, and students will still be permitted to enter the Wharton school. in the junior year from any of the other de- partments of tho university. The advan- tages of the course in politics and eco- monies are thus open to every student in the university, no matter what he may make specially.
 The man to whom the success of the school is mostly due is Professor Edmund J. James, who was called to the faculty in 1888. His energy and skill as teacher and organizer have made pos sib1e the realization of MT. Wharton's idea Professor Simon N. Ratten has given the school solid reputation ill economies, and Professor John Bach Mo- Master has given it high rank in Ameri- ean history.

HUMAN DETECTIVES.
Methods of Treatment Suggested For Ger
 4air GI.,SSx,s Ao.,c1,dn1ats

Methods of Treatment Suggested For Ger tain Glasses of Public Dependents. Dr. James w. Walk, in lecture on "Defsctives' before the University of Pennsylvania, defined the detectives as those members of society having serious mental or physical defects, either con- genital or acquired. This group con- prised six ciasses-frst, the blind; sec ond, the deaf mutes; third, insane; fourth, the feeble minded, or idiots fifth, the where drunken ness has become disease-and sixth, the epileptics.
 Dr. Walk took up each of these class es and stated what ho believed to be the best way to deal with them. Of the blind and deaf he said: Blind. deaf and feeble minded children have as much claim to all education as others, and since their defects prevent them from receiving it in the ordinary public schools 1t Is only just that they should be instructed in schools especially adapt ed to their condition. Such schools are also a most economical investment of public money, for by means of the train ing they give the great majority of the blind and deaf mutes become self SUD- porting in adult life.
 ''Ts fit blind children for self support it Is necessary that their discipline while at schos1 should be rigid. Sc as te impart thsrsughneSS in the practice st the few industries, such as weaving and music, which are open to them. The managers of the best schools for the blind now insist upon this rigid train ing, and in this way sometimes incur unpopularity among those who do not understand their real moHve.
 "For those of the adult blind who cannot maintain themselves in open competition with normal workmsn there should be founded in each state industrial bones whers they may reside and lRbsr. the deficiency in their earp- ing being supplied by bsnevolencs. Where such homes are well conducted they arc nearly self supporting.
 "Under the stimulus of the popular interest excited by the eloquent ad- dresses of the great philanthropist, Doro- thea Dix, Pennsylvania many years ago undertook to make adequate provision for the insane at public expense. The first institution for their care in the commonwealth was the insane depart msnt of the old Pennsylvania hospital. We have now many asylpms for those people, but not enough yet to accommo- date them all. Asylums should be SO regulated that the inmates can work and be self supporting"
 pr. Walk thought that idiots, er the feeble minded, should not be permitted ts marry. Of spilsptics he thought the same, as their defects are hereditary. Insbriatss should be confined for long period, during which they would be forced to abstain totally. This treat msnt, he said, results often In perma- nsnt eurs.-Phi1adelYhia PreEs.

tient. Secretary Welles had been prej- was known to have a large circle of southern friends and was even said to sympathize with the Confederate cause herself. Lieutenant Skerrett went to the secretary and said that if he was not as- signed to some duty he would resign from the navy, go back to Ohio and en- ter an artillery regiment and get some fighting anyhow.
 Welles admired the lieutenant spirit and assigned him to important ordnance duty at the Washington navy yard, tell ing him if he said anything moro about resigninS he would be placed under ar rest. He was afterward assigned to du- ty on various blockading squadrons, but it was not till 1864 that he succeeded ill getting into an engagement. In June of that year he successfully attacked the Notifications at the mouth of tho Bra EOS river. After the war he was placed ill command of the apprentice ship Portsmouth and in conjunction with Commander Upsher framed tho regula- tions of the apprentice system, then first introduced into the navy. After that he was stationed for four years at the naval academy at Annapolis.
 In June, 1872, having been promoted captain. he was again placed ill com mand of the Portsmouth, in which the following winter he began his famous surveying trip down the Atlantic coast, around the Horn and up the Pacific.
 Admiral Skerrett was born ill Chilli cotbo O. in 1S33 He is now in seryica on the China station, where he is likely to remain in command until his retire ment in January next.

There Is One BRIGHT SPOT
In the business outlook and we are in that spot.

Because we had the cash when others did not
 Because our expenses arc small for amount of business done
 Because we do not credit and make no losses.
 Because we have large new stock when others go slow.
 Business Is better, you have more work now, but the day has been reduced and 1t has been a long hard winter. We know all this and have prepared to give Vou clothes so that you will be better dressed tahn last year and have more pay left.
 We watch the market every day and know when to strike, know when the manufacturers have goods left that they must turn into moncy.
 We made a ten strike during the blizzard week. We closed the lines of three of our best makers Blue Scrges, Black CheviotS. Fancy Cassi- mcrcs, Scotch goods, Light colorS, Dark colorS. Double breasted. Single breasted. Tall mon, Short mon. ali kinds of Men and Youths can be fitted.
 We call it ten strike for the goods were made to sell from $!0 up by the makers.
 Buying at our own price all they had. We made the big cut now. when you need the goods rather than wait unil the last of the season, profits are out of it this year but we are selling to more people than ever.
