GENIUS, WORK AND DISEASE.
Their Relations TO One y not her Clearly
Defined.

Their Relations TO One \ not her CIea rly
Defined.
Genius, say some, is but a capa city for
hard work This is not the whole truth,
says the New Science Review. There must
be work in accordance with law. The
miner who digs for gold on the seashore
viii never find it, though he dig so labo-
riolsly, but if he study gold and the
geologic strata in which 1t lives he has
begun to put himself into harmony with
law. Mere work, unless properly directed,
is like riding a hobby horse-there is en-
ergy and motion, but no progress.
For years Napoleon was living in minia-
ture the battles ne was TO fight analyz-
ing strategic moves and positions and
training his mind to thus grasp a new
situation on the instant. Won Moltke
studied the military topography of all
Europe, and with marvellous foresight
thought oat how to win. HIS victory was
TO triumph OF mere fortune or special in
spiration. II was but the logical outcome
OF his trained mind, and trained mind
ever lights the torch OF its own inspira-
ton. Leonardo da Vinci always carried
in his eirdle his sketch-book in his walks
in Florence, constantly looking for PIE
tuTeSque faces. I'm the silence of the
night he would counsel himself. recall
the ideas of things you have studied. De
sign in your spirit the contours and out
lines of the figures you have seen during
the day"
There is theory held by scientists
that genius comes from disease. Disease,
insanity, depravity. and other Iailings often
DO occur as consequences due to overcoE-
CentTatiOn or misuse OF power, but they
DO not create genius any more than the
vultures OF tie plains create the carcass
upon which they feed. The genius, too,
being of finer mental material, is more
likely TO show flaw, as Dresden china
reveals a mar not noticeable in red
clay flower pot. In support Of this dis
ease theory the most insignificant, com
monplacc ailments of ordinary humanity.
when found in genius, are magnified and
exaggerated. The weaknesses thus pointed
out are, it is worth noting usually shown
in the part of mind or of body where
the genius was not exercised.

ANOTHER CHINESE WAR.

The quickest. easiest and most practical
way to settle the rate controversy between
the white and Chinese Iaundrymen of this
city is to stop patroniziug the latter.
Every dollar paid to an almond-eyed go
journer is almost Immediately lost in
Chinese gambling den or is boarded to be
carried back to China. So far as the public
is concerned il is like withdrawing that
amount from circulation. and there is no
law of citizenship that entities them to
encouragement OF consideration.
In most instances the Chinese refuse to
become naturalized. They never spend the
money received from white patrousforan any
thing that benefits communities, and even
their food is mostly imported from their
native land. Generally speaking they are
beastial in their habits and are inveterate
lawbTea kers. and are only entitled to public
sympathy because they are human.
Working people who complain of Chinese
competition are TO some extent responsible
Take Tor instance the present discussion.
Instead Of giving their trade and influence
to white laundrymen they continue to
patronize the Chinese and in this way en-
courage their efforts. For once let this
practice be discontinued. Be patriotic and
support people who appreciate the value of
American citizenship and ont spend
another cent with Chinaman.

illustration of a large laCGeF at the top OF

On the third step from the bottom or
more properly in tenth place on this ladder
of fame, can be found a small figure with
W on its blouse.
Now, Mr.. Editor this poor man has been
standing on the same step for more than
a month looking vainly up at the top OF
the ladder. but unable TO go up further.
His neck must be terribly sore from his
weary look upwards, while his feet must OF

woebegone look, and weeping bitterly at
his inability OF upward progress. This

CORNELL AND THE ENGLISH COD


There are two things in the world that it
does not pay to trifle with. one is an ami
NAL called a polecat aud the other is
cad English sportsman.
Just now this latter species is emitting
something more offensive than is expert
enCed when q skunk is touched, and the
reason for their vaporings is the scoring
OF the first race for the Cornell crew at the
Henley regatta.
When true sportsman is beaten either
by his own error or in contest with for
egner or countryman he gracefully sub
mits to the inevitable. Not so with the
English cad II defeated by a foreigner
he Immediately becoTes a howling hyena,
and il possible besmears his adversary
with cowardly charges and contemptibe
destinations.
If the Cornell crew is not entitled to
the race why was not the umpire CEN
sured? They obeyed his instruction, and
if anyone is al fault it is the umpire, and
not the crew. But in this instance it
would be uncaddish and unhyenalike 10
blame any but the foreigners.
II has been reported that the Cornell
crew is not in good condition. That the
change OF climate has cnervated and made
some OF the boys i'll, but for the honor Of
America it is 10 be hoped this report is not
true, and that the cads who are now
yaporing VIII be given a lesson in Yankee
sportsmanship and Yankee grit.
After what has happened it would be
glorious privilege to record a weu-earned
victory for our piucky American crew. 1t
would change the hyena cad-howl 10 an
acknowledgement of defeat, and give op-
portunity to show our English cousins that

married Miss Mamie Livingston. There was

as he did not marry Miss Mamie Livingston,

cation, and both she and myself will be
obliged if you will correct that statement.

FOR A COLLEGE LIBRARY.
Scheme to Donate the Mer-
camille Property to the
University.
1t Cannot Long Continue to Run
Under Existing Circum-
stances.

The Mercantile Library is fast nearing a
point at which something must be done to
help it on, or it will go to pieces. For
quite awhile past some of the directors
have been advancing money to pay the
current expenses; but such a state of af-
fairs can last for but a limited time, and
the end is drawing nearer with every day.
The proposition to consolidate with the
Public Library has not met with success.
The various plans so far proposed have all
failed and now comes the latest idea-a
suggestion to turn over library and prop
erty to the State University, to be used by
the affiliated colleges or not as the regents
see tit.
The plan comes from Edmund Tauzsky,
an ex-president of the library association
and at present one of its members. He
suggests that the property be turned over
to the State University under two condi-
tions. First, that the university pay off
the $75,0 900 which is now due by the asso-
citation and secured by mortgage on the
property on Van. Ness avenue and Polk
street, and second, that while free to the
college students the public be admitted to
the privileges of the book-shelves for so
cents month. The property is worth
much more than $4,000, the amount of
the mortgage upon it.
The building has frontage of 100 feet on
Van Ness avenue and ITO on Golden Gate
and Elm avenues. 1t fronts on these three
streets and is we'll lighted from every side.
It was built with the expectation of adding
more stories if it would ever be necessary
to do SO, and the foundation is, therefore,
proportionately strong. The library has
upon its book-shelves 10000 volumes, many
of which are very rare and valuable and
all are properly indexed and arranged.
The value of the library alone is equal to
the amount of the mortgage, but if donated
at all the whole property will probably go
together.
The debt of $75 900 which hangs over the
institution is what is slowly wreck
ing it. The interest on this debt amounts
to about $3.50 month. The library has
between twelve and fifteen hundred men,
bers and their dues of 80 cents a month
make sum barely sufficient to pay this
interest, without considering the current
expenses of the library.
Mr.. Tauszky intends to enlist the SYM
pathies of the Alumni Association of the
University of California and he is conf
dent that some understanding can be
reached between the association and the
university which will lead to the transfer.
1t is predetermined whether or not the
affiliated colleges will accept the gift of the
property for their use, but in any event it
is believed that the university will be glad
to take possession of the magnificent col
lection of volumes which are now upon
the shelves of the library.

PRINCIPAL AND PUPILS.
Case Against L. b. White for Batter,
Upon Boy Dismissed.

Case Against t. b. White for Battery
Upon a Boy Dismissed.
T. B. White, principal of the Washing
ton Grammar School, appeared in Judge
Joaehimsen's court yesterday to answer to
the charge of battery upon Willie Wilson,
one of his pupils.
The testimony was that Willie engaged
in fight with another boy, who called him
names. Principal White ordered Willie to
go to the hall where punishment is admin
istered to bows breaking the rules, but
Willie refused to go and was punished.
Prosecuting Attorney Dare argued
strongly for a conviction and urged the
court to make an example of the defendant.
He knew that many of the teachers in the
public schools were unfair and punished
pupils without reason and in instances
within his own knowledge had not pos
sessed the manhood to apologize when
proved to be in the wrong.
The Judge said he was satisfied a wrong
had been done the boy, but dismissed the
case after admonishing the defendant to
be more careful in the future.
