its attendant gambling and %rowdyism, is

a poor student has no chance among those

Professor Adams in a recent address be-

other charges were denied in detail.
Professor Adams has long held high
rank as an educator. He was born in
Derby, Vt, Jan. 24, 1888, and received
his preliminary education in the common
schools and academy of Derby. From the
age of 10 he was strongly attracted toward
a collegiate career, but his family was
poor and the education he longcd for
seemed out of reach. In 1856 he removed
to Iowa with his parents and began the
study of Greek and Latin at Denmark

mitted to the University of Michigan, and
during his four years of college life was
almost exclusively dependent upon his
own efforts to secure the money for his ed
ucation and support.
During the third and fourth years he
was assistant librarian of the university
and in charge of one of the lower classes.
In 1864 he was appointed instructor in
Latin and history, and in 1885 became
president of Cornell university. Under

PARIS LOOKS TO PICARD.
He Will BE Held Responsible For the Suo-
cess Of the Great Exposition.


The Paris Universal exposition will be
an end of the century exposition in every
sense of the much abused phrase, for IL
will be held in 1900 and will be tho highest
development of the exposition idea. Al
fred Picard, the commissioners general of
the enterprise, was appointed several years
ago, and despite the fact that the exposi-
ton is yet four years distant has already
done n vast amount of work. His staff for
preliminary labor and for the construction
of the buildings has been organized, and
in n very short time the mammoth struc-
lures of the exposition will begin to take
form along the Seine.
A grateful country esteems Picard as
n of the eminent Frenohmen of the time.
He is an Alsatian and Is about 80 years of
age. He entered the Polytechnic school in
1869 and the National School of Roads and
Bridges in 1864. After a mission 80 the

Mr.. Mason has few equals and no superb
ors in this peculiar field of funmaking.
He was born In Essex, Conn, July 81,
1866, and was the son of a we'll known
sea captain, who spent over 80 years of his
life voyaging to all parts OF the world.
From early bahyhood until he was 10
years old the future humorist passed most
of his time on the ocean or in foreign
ports. AS n lad in knickerbookers he ex-
plored his fathers ships and knew them
we'll from truck to keelson. He has re-
membered these boyish lessons and Is to-
day an expert on nautical matters.
When he left the sea, he attended school
in New Haven for three years. Embark
ing in business at an early age, he devoted
four years to the life Of n commercial tray
eler. He then entered the employ of the
American Press Association, and after a
short apprenticeship in the business de-
partment, during which he displayed
marked talent for the work in hand, he
Joined tho editorial staff, where he edited
the humorous pages for about nine
years and developed into an excellent
al round newspaper IA He also be-
gan contributing original matter to the
American Press Association, Life, Puck,
Judge, Truth, Harper's Bazaar, Harper's
Magazine and other high class publications
and was soon recognized as one of the ris-
ing young humorists of America.
Life, in particular, took kindly to his
refine humor and dainty verse, and at the
beginning of the present year he left the
American Press Association to become
Life's managing editor. In common with
other American humorists Mr.. Mason has
jokod about every conceivable subject Ca
pable of inspiring "A witticism in good

plicity Of the Baylies brand. In "a dozen
minor details Baylies compelled the atten-
ton OF society. The "king's table, crst-
while presided over by Mrs. Aston and the
great McAllister, was abolished, and one
table was as good as another. He scored
n second great point when no tabooed all
favors. There was not even IA single flower
for the grand DANES present. A third
triumph was his master stroke In closing
Delmonico's to all New Workers save the
Patriarchs on the night of the ball.
Another hero of the occasion was Elisha
Dyer, Jr., who led the c~otillon AT the re-
quest of his magnanimOus rival, Baylics.
Not to be outdune, however, Dyer invited
Baylies to be his partner, and society saw
her would he kings side by side. Dyer is
not at all like Baylies. He is more ornate,
more ostentatiOus, more fond of show than
his rival. He has rs good taste, it is said,
but displEys it in "a more lavish manner.
