Funny Questions That Have to Re

An amusing account of dinner in Buda-

to dine at the house of a prominent jour-

English fiuently.

From the Philadelphia Press
So much has been lately said and writ

license to the Princeton Inn, that, upon
my receiving an invitation to attend a
meeting of the Right Wing Club, in the
far-famed grill room, 1 accepted it CRATE
fully that 1 might~observe the practical
workings of the system upon the students
Upon the evening in question the room was
crowded with young men, with now and
then the head of graduate in which gray
hairs were beginning to CLEAN. Some of
these older men were called upon to speak
during the evening, while college songs
were followed with music by the banjo
club. l had expected only amusement from
the remarks of the speakers, but while they
We're never heavy, 1 was pleased to note
solid instruction in all.
Mr.. Lawrence Hutton was the principal
speaker of the evening, and upon rising to
his feet was heartily cheered by the stu
dent body. His remarks, attentively lis
tened TO, were. as befitted the occasion,

of the gentleman farmer and creating not
a little amusement by his remarks upon

Mr.. Burr Macintosh. former Princeton

ties of the Scotch were deftly- described.

of the speaker, with his melodious voice,
gave unalloyed pleasure to his hearers.
A Mr.. Dickson was introduced as from

were given, with yale, Yale, Yale" at the
end, thus testifying to the good feeling be-

Mr.. Hutton, giving some of the experiences
OF the Maine farmer, while at the same
time his address was rather literary in
tone. with some happy illustrations of the
difference between poetry and prose.
A light lunch was served, and during the
evening there was beer in plenty for all,
but no stronger beverage was served.
While all present seemed to have enough

Surely this is better than the secret

OPPOSED TO FOOT BALL.

Georgin Legislature Prohibits Charr-
ing Admission to Games There.
A special to the Baltimore Sun from At

The Georgia senate today passed the hill
prohibiting the playing of foot ball games
in this state for which admission fees are
charged. The vote was 81 to t. This is ex-
pected to check largely the sport in COL
leges.
The house had already passed the bill by
vote of sc to 2.

When II seemed apparent that the meas
sentiment was DANGEROUSLY demanding its
adoption, Mrs. Cannon, mother of the
dead player began to exert all her in
huence against the bill. saying that her bow
had been passionateiy devoted to the game
and would not have approved it's abolition
Her protest was overcome by the in
f1uence OF the unve rsities. While having
previously permitted the game they pre-
ferred not to oppose public opinion and
threw all their power to the support of tho
measure. This resulted in its passage.
The bill is now in Gov. Atkinson's hands
Personally he IS opposed to it, and had the
majorities given for 1t by the legislature in

would have given 1t a veto; but ii will now
doubtless become a statute through de-
fault.
Foot ball enthusiasts had been hoping
that Col. H. c. Cook, in charge OF tie fed
eral barracks near Atlanta would permit
them to defy the jurisdiction of the state
by extending the use of the United States
reservation for the game, but the colonel
has decided against this course.

Turning Right About.

IN the national election of 1896. the
New York World guessed it wrong.
The World declined To support the
regular democratic candidate and plat
form of that year; IL is one of the news
papers which, early in the campaign
made the promise, never kept, that in
New York Bryan wouldn't know he was
running. The event proved that right

deserved to be called under the eircum-
stances, a brilliant showing At first

remained no alternative. all that the
World could do was to get in and drill
for Mckinley, under promise to those
whose support it asked that the McKin-
ley administration would recognize its
debt TO the gold democrats and run the
government accordingly.
With the Mckinley administration the
World is already thoroughly disgrun-
tied. Mr.. Pulitzer has been casting
about: he realizes that something must
be done. His newspaper was a nonentity
in the national campaign Of 1896. il was
sorry loser in the Greater New York
campaign of 1S97-the World must be

been possible all these months for the
World TO make itself the organ of the

there's nothing except Bynum left Of
that organization. The World views it
with contempt and declares that il never

republicans hopelessly divided on

The scheme urged by Mr.. Gage has
