THE SPORTING WORLD.

The extraordinary interest taken IN
college athletics by the general public
is shown by the reports of the treasurers
of the various college athletic associa-
tions. No other country in the world
ever patronized college sports SO ex-
tensively. Just glance at some of the
figures for last year. The returns from
three of the leading colleges are total
lied briefly as follows:
Received. Spent.
Yale (1so5-6) $50, 96 $53,945.11
Pennsylvania (year ending
Sept. 30, l896) ............. 46,95978 53,047.19
Princeton (1S95-6) .,.......,. 46,61581 30,91. 40
The Harvard totals are fully as great
as those given and will show profit Of
at least 10 per cent. The total receipts
from the athletic games Of the four
leading universities - Yale, Harvard,
Princeton and University Of Pennsyl-
vania-were not far from 5000, 000
This money was contributed very large
ly by the general public, although, of
course, a great part Of it came from the
students. Just what the proportion Of
graduate and outside patronage to un-
dergraduate patronage is nobody can do
more than estimate.
College athletics have grown more
and moro expensive as the games have
grown i'll popularity. 1t will be seen by
reference to the table above that Penn
sylvania had deficit at the end Of the
year That vas due, it is explained, to
the fact that Sc, S15. 20 was spent in i'm
proving its athletic grounds and that
summer football was practiced. Besides
50, 676 7G for football expense, the ac-
counts show 3,i77. 50 for transporta-
tion and hotels, $1,5l2.12 for training
table, 81, 000 II for uniforms Prince
toms summer expenses are given as
$4s. 9s; training table, 81. s03. 81, and
S3,679.97 for travelling expenses, and
no item to offset the 50, ZOO football ex-
pense item Of Pennsylvania Hartford

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Various Ways Of Preparing sweetbrsads,
Answering Wedding Invitations.
Potato Crust.

Sweetbreads should lie in cold salt
water for an hour or more before being
cooked. Then put them into fresh wa
ter and cook them gently 20 minutes.
Throw the partly cooked sweetbreads
into cold water, and when they are cold
carefully remove the outer castings,
strings and veins without breaking the
sweetbreads into pieces. In whatever
way a sweetbread is to be served, lard
ed and roasted, crumbed and fried, stew
ed or broiled, it must first be parboil-
ed, then cooked as desired, and served
hot with an appropriate sauce.
A simple way of serving sweetbreads
is to cleanse and parboil them. When
cold, split them in half, rub them over
with butter, ana carefully broil them
over clear fire in double broiler,
turning them often. Lay them upon
squares of buttered toast, spreading but
ter upon the hot sweetbreads and sea-
soning them plentifully with salt and
pepper Many like boiling cream pour
ed over sweetbreads so prepared.
For cream baked sweetbreads: Cleanse
one good sized pair Of calves sweet
Breads and to the water in which they
are cooked add bay leaf, half dozen
peppercorns and slice of onion Cook
them 20 minutes, then drop them into
clear water, and let them lie there un-
til cold before picking them into small
pieces. Place saucepan over the fire
and put into it a large tablespoonful Of
butter When it is melted, stir in one
tablespoonful of flour, then add half a
cup of the strained liquid III which the
sweetbreads were boiled and half a cup
of cream. When the mixture is boiling,
add the prepared sweetbreads and few
chopped mushrooms. Cook ten minutes,
then take the pan from the fire and inn
mediately stir in the yolks of two eggs
previously beaten and season with salt
and cayenne pepper. Turn the mixture
into buttered baking dish, cover the
top with a sprinkling of fried bread
crumbs and keep it in hot oven about
ten minutes and serve. If the mixture
is baked and served in individual china
baking cups, they will not require to be
in the oven quite as long.
A popular way of serving sweetbreads
at evening entertainments Is III 6ne 1l6-
tie paper cases, preparing them as il
the foregoing recipe, using the yolks Of
the eggs or not, as desired. A few
chopped olives are often added to the
mixture and are an improvement
An unusually dainty and delicious
salad is made with cooked sweetbreads
Cut them into small pieces, season
them with salt and white pepper, keep
them in cool place until required and
then mix them with a smooth mayon-
naise dressing and serve them upon let
tuce leaves or add little chopped eel
cry to them and cover with the mayon-
naise.

smiling ship Trafalgar was plowing the
ocean to make the harbor of Melbourne
She reached port on the 18th of Decem-

The ship had started full handed with
William Shotten, an apprentice just
out of his time, ranking third mate
During the voyage the captain died of
fever, and the first mate fell i'll also an
able seaman who acted as first mate
The second mate could not navigate
ship, and the crew became sadly de-
moralized at the prospect before them.
Young Shotten had acted with the
mates throughout the voyage and at
times handled the ship when the fever
compelled the navigator to 60 below
He decided to say nothing about the
change Of affairs, but the sailors learned
that all the experienced officers were
down and no one left but boy, who
had been one of themselves a short
time before.
The sailors wanted to take the ship
to the nearest port, but young Shotten

The past week has been fraught with
great disaster to Greece, and the hui
initiation Of the Hellenes is not vet CON
cluded.
On Wednesday of last week Greece,
recognizing after the defeat of her SOL
diers at Pharsala that her position was
critical. made a formal request for
the mediation of the powers. whose
representatives consented 10 intervene
upon the promise of the Greek govern
ment TO withdraw its forces from Crete,
consent to the autonomy of the island
under Turkish rule and confide its in
terests unreservedly to the powers.
Under these conditions an appeal was
made to the porte for an armistice.
The porte, after nearly weeks de-
lay, defiantly replied. declining to agree
10 an armistice until the following con-
ditions We're accepted: The annexation
of Thessaly. an Indemnity Of 9i0o0o-
900 and the abolition of the capitula-
tions
On Monday Edhem Pasha, the Turk
ish commander, advanced on DomokoS-
to which place Prince Constantine had
retired after abandoning Pharsala, and
the last decisive battle OF the war was
fought. After days fighting the
Greeks We're again routed and compelled
TO give up their last position In Thes-
sally.
The forces Of the sultan having COM
pletely occupied Thessaly, the porte an
nounced to the powers that 1t would
grant an armistice. under which peace
negotiations are now in progress.

From DomolSos Last Battle of the War.
Constantinople, May 49, Edhem
Pasha, commanding the Turkish army
operating against the Greeks, has been
ordered to cease hostilities.
The official announcement is made
that the sultan has proclaimed a sus-
pension of hostilities with Greece. with
the object of showing his good viii to-
ward the powers.
1t transpires that the czar made a
direct appeal to the sultan to order his
troops to cease hostilities and arrange
an armistiee, and this, coupled with the
fact that most serious results would
have ensued if Turkey had persisted in
her defiant attitude, brought about the
present state of affairs.
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, has called upon the
dean of the diplomatic corps. Baron Won
Calice. and conveyed to the foreign
minister the sultan's decision to arrange
an armistice.
1t is now believed that the terms Of
peace will be negotiated between Tur-
key and Greece.

One of the mysteries of the present
day is said to be the dramatic sue
cess OF a family of Iowa girls called
CHERRY Sisters" That is, their per-
formances are SO grotesque, so crude,
so lacking in all theatrical experience
or natural ability, surrounded with
an evident innocent supposition that
they are doing great things, that
people actually flock to see and laugh
at them. and they are making mon
ey. If they succeed, are they not able
in some degree? Haye they gone so
far away from the commonly accept
ed standard OF merit as to become
geniuses? What is ability, anyhow? ?

Diversified Farming.

Iroquois Chief One of the best
arguments in favor of diversified
farming that has come under our no
tice for some time is the recent filing
OF a $4,000 mortgage on the "bo-
nanza' Dalrymple wheat farm in
North Dakota. This immense farm
is conducted in the most advantage.
Gus manner possible, with every
thing on large scale; improved
machinery, and plenty Of it, syste-
matte regulations, good business
management and ample capital. Ii
money can not be made in exclusive
wheat raising under such conditions,
the individual farmer certainly can
not expect to make success at it.
Diversified farming is the only sure
method Of ultimate success. Stick
to the cow and the steer and the pig
and the garden spot; raise plenty o.
fodder, patronize the creamery, but
don't pin your faith on exclusive
wheat raising.

Vest Pocket Parties.

Let the Populist editors sit down,
and sit down hard upon that class
such as held meeting in Huron the
other day, whose sole object was to
organize for the complete suppress
sion of the voice of rank and file, and
forcibly lead our party, "like a lamb
to the slaughter" so that a few offici-
eus and ambitious would-be leaders
can boast of carrying the populists
in their vest pockets. Miller Ga
zette.
The PRESS has no interest in what
populist leaders may do purely in
their own party affairs, but herein is
emphasized a principle that may be
generally applied to all parties.
With due regard for the painstaking
efforts of reasonable and fair leaders,
and recognizing their necessity, yet
the rank and file Of the republican
party has no use for anylittle coterie
of self-appointed bosses in nation,
state, county or township who give
a little of their time to party politics
simply and solely to advance their
selfish interests. Open, fair manage
ment of parties is what the people
demand and will have, and leaders
who have attempted to go contrary
to this unwritten Law of the republi-
can party have invariably met with
dismal failure and retirement into
the oblivion so richly deserved. Too
often for their good men who have
been favored by their party obtain
the very erroneous idea that they
own it; that their position is inn
pregnable; that it is obtained strict.
ly upon their individual merit, total
ly ignoring the influences that tenn
porarily advanced them. And yet
the history of all parties are strewn
with wrecks of mems ambitions who
attempted such course. Parties
are indispensable, leaders are neces-
sary, ambitions are proper-so rec
ognized by the ptop.e,-within rea-
sonable bounds, actuated not entire
ly by seltishness, but by desire to ad-
vance the common interests of the
community they live in and the peo.
pie they represent. When they over
step these bounds it Is the duty of
party newspapers to press the but.
ton-the people will do the rest.
