ance at Georgetown College this year is
unparalleled in the history Of the iustitu.
ton, and, of course, 1t will make a de-
cided advance in college field and track
athletics. The students are enthusiastic
over their prospective success.
The new track will be ready for use on
the eth instant, aud the athletic meet,
open TO students of the college only, will
take place on November 2.
The coming OF Wefers, the International
champion sprinter and the most recent
maker of records, has set the athletic
contingent all astir, and OF course he is
the shining star of the assembled talent
In addition to this great attraction, there
are j. d. Delaney, who has done excellent
work in recent athletic meets, aud has
record of 4 minutes and % seconds for
the mile, and was also prominent in the
half mile. He has done his best work
indoors, beating the famous Orton and
fitzpatrick in a mile run at Worcester. He
was for time champion 100-yard man Of
New England. and of course he is a big
find for the college.
j. NJ. Gallagher, '9S, is another young
ster from whom much is expected. He
made bis first appearance as a sprinter
In 1891, while student at Worcester
''Teck." He has jumped 8 feet in the
pole vault, and has done the bali mile in
side of minutes and the quarter in %
seconds. He Is, however, at his best in the
hurdles. He has record Of II 1-2 sec
onds In the 120-yard high hurdles, and
IL was only by an accident that he lost To
Bremen, of Harvard, in the Worcester
contests over the 22O-yard low hurdles.
Wefers' younger brother is also at. the
college, and has the making OF n great
runner, and Murphy, Yale's trainer, is
authority for the statement that lie has
the making OF world-beater in him. He
will conflne himself mainly to the 22O-
yard dash.
The class football teams are prscticing
daily, and great interest is taken in their
work. The '9S team is a light but fast
one. and Wefers is coaching it and promises
a winner.
The association game is being played
great deal. Nelson, '96, and Dugan,
SO, are two firm advocates of this game
The dramatic club has been reorganized
and will make its debut about November
20. Mr.. O'Gorman. director of the glee
club, is coaching the members and Nell
son is acting as temporary manager.

Birds and Animals.

An ornithologist has been investigating
the question OF what hour in summer the
commonest small birds wake up and sing.
He states that the green finch is the earliest
riser, as 1t pipes as early as 1 80 in the
morning, the blackcap beginning at about
2:3O. 1t is nearly 4 O'Clock and the sun
is well above the horizon before the first
real songster appears in the person of the
blackbird.
The following is the daily ration of wild
animals, such as those at the Geological
Gardens and the Jardin des Plantes, In
Paris: Ten pounds OF flesh for each lion.
tiger and bear, seven pounds for the pan
ther, three to six pounds for the hyena, one
pound for the wildcat, two pounds for the
eagle, all of which flesh must be fresh and
without bone.
The big bald eagle that was released in
front Of the reviewing stand during the
G. A. r. parade in Louisville by the De-
partment OF New Hampshire has since been
recaptured.
II is an interesting fact that sea birds
are often attracted by the rays OF light
house, and dash themselves against the Ian
tern, often breaking the glass as well as in
juring themselves In a single night at
Cape de Brehat, Bretagne, France nine
panes were shattered from this cause
A fresh attempt has been made by
Frenchman to employ dogs to perform light

turns the wheel by the force of its weight.
very much as the treadmill is made to ro-
tate, only the dog is out side the wheel and
stands on an endless belt.
On one occasion at night at Cape de
Brehat lighthouse wild duck forced its
way through two rows OF mirrors and fell
upon the lamp. A thousand OF these birds
were on one occasion caught by a crew OF
a British lightship, who made them into
a gigantic pie.
The tirnidity of fish afforded one of many
interesting discussions at a recent reunion
of1he Piscatorial Society. 1t was emarked
that big gun practice on the sea coast.
while 1t would cause Holsters, out OF sheer
fright, to cast one of their claws, would
drive millions of fish into other waters.

ONLY ANOTHER CASE.
Poverty Is All Right So Long 1t Does Not

L
Of conservatism and OF antiquities,
patted itself on the back with quiet
Complacency because of its superior
powers of discernment In the case Of o
certain widow who had just arrived in
Topeka, bringing with her Eve small
children. Nothing remarkable in the
latter fact, truly, but certain Chsrac-
teristiCs observable in that woman in
terested the great daily to the extent
of a glowing editorial.
The widow had not come seeking
Office with salary and fees attachments
that she might thereby give to her
fatherless children the education which
is the right of American citizens. All,
NO; too we'll she understood the lowly
estate of womsnhood with her inher-
I ent physical weakness and the limita-
tions Of her intellect. She had not
even sought the ballot that she might
have voice in making the laws she
must obey. Had she asked for char
ityp No, again. The wise woman,
too proud and strong to ask for herself
had only left her little ones at Ingle-
side while she went, hungry and weary,
back to the city to rent small house,
buy q stove, Wash,tub and board;
then among the BARRIERS to ask for
their washing that she might keep the
wolf from her door during the coming
winter.
Her purpose accomplished, this noble
woman, dinnerless, went back to In
gleside and, diunerlesS still, took her
children, who had been fed and cared
for, away to the little home she had
already provided for them.
Now, in just such action as hers the
sppreciatlve Capital readily discovers
the salvation of the country, not from
hardship and calamity, but from the
''howls Of calamity" not from injustice
and oppression, but from their dlsa.
greeable cries and complaints.
If all the poor women and hard
pressed men would accept their lot as
quietly and uncomplsiningly as did
this brave widow it would be so COM
Portable, you readily see, for those in
prosperity who, although they will not
listen to any change In an Industrial
system that has given them independ-
ence, still have sufficient sensibility to
be annoyed by the complaints Of the
poor.
The pious and conservative Capital
had not one word Of apology for state
Of society that could make possible

she has moral, and should have q
legal and social right to time and

training of her children, but instead
Of exercising this God.given prarogs-
tive she must strain every muscle to
gain scanty subsistence for the body
with the constant pain Of seeing the
noble, immortal part of her little ones
undeveloped or opening to degrading
influences. Yet that great moral paper
and educator of public opinion saw
nothing in the situation to deprecata
since the widow was quiet and assured
of little bread for the body. 1t did

to steal that public land. No other
reason for his cold-blOOded procedure
can possibly be given. No wonder El-
kins is ashamed to aElude to his con-
nection with the Beaubien and Mi.
randa grant in 1877 when he was in
congress. When congressman uses
his congressional influence to corrupt
a commissioner of the general land
Office to aid him in stealing 2.0O0, 600
acres of public land under an assumed
name-under an GIiGS-it ought to
make that congressman infamous; but
1t didn't, it helped to make him secre-
tary of war and senator of the United
States.
Fourth-"And thus save the govern
ment the cost of a resurvey.
Congressman Elkins was plotting to
steal 100000 acres of lawfully sur
veyed public land from the govern
ment and yet, at the same time, is
greatly concerned az to the cost to the
government of a resurVey Of that
stolen land. ("Here'S pretty how
do you do" The great concern, how
ever, of Congressman Elkins in wish.
ing to have the Griffin survey Of 1870
adopted was not to save the govern
ment the cost of resurVey. He was
anxious to have that survey adopted
for an entirely different reason, to-wit:
because, the Griffin survey, under the
direction of the Colorado statesmen
Chaffee and Chilcott--had included,
for speculative purposes, all the public
land that possibly could be included in
that section of country; and the New
Mexico statesman was simply anxious
to steal as much public land as the
Colorado statesmen had stolen.
Fifth-"And insure an early issue Of
a patent to the grant"
Congressman Elkins is now, SEEM
ingly, greatly concerned about an early
issue of a patent to the Beaubien and
Miranda grant. "The patent" he
says" has been delayed for more than
seven years." He thinks it is crying
shsme-an act of great injustice-sn
act that no high-minded government
would be guilty of Is Congressman
Elkins hired to make this speech? No.
Is he prompted to make this speech by
sympathyP Nah. What, then, prompted
Congressman Elkins to make this
speechp He was simply in q hurry to
get 'patent" to the Beaubien and
Miranda, alias Elkins & Cstron bogus
tax-title Mexican grant.
Sixth-"Yours truly, etc.-S. B. Ell
kins."
lThis-the winding-up lis what hurts.
1t was a delicate piece of business for
a commissioner Of the general land
Office to aid Congressman Elkins to
steal 100000 acres of lawfully sur.
veyed public land under the guise Of
an alleged Maxwell grant. Commits.
sioner Williamson, for a valuable con-
Siderstion, was willing to assume a
great deal of responsibility; but he was
not by large majority, willing to as
sumo all the responsibility. Elklns
had to assume his share. He had to go
on record as being sin it." Hence
this "touching" letter, signed "Yours
truly, etc. S. B. Elkins." And it
touches no one more than It touches
