Indian was none other than her hus-
band. The victim of the sad misal
lance was Mrs Lydia Fixico, nee

Her husband is a subchief of the
Commanches. His home is on the
tribal reservation in Oklahoma. HIS

time MI. Smiley was there and much
valuable information and instruction
was obtained from him. But the chief
help which President Smiley received
was most courteously volunteered BY
DR.. Graves, who had made every pre-
paration to show the new president
everything touching upon his future
work. DR.. Graves had so systemauized
his work and was 80 familiar with
those matters which a new president
would want and need to know that the
time which Mr.. Smiley expected to
spend there was reduced from a month
to a week. President Smiley. in clos,
tEg, incidentally mentioned the great
popularity Of Dr.. Graves at Laramie
and said he could not hope for any
better treatment from Gem City people.
Referring to the prospects for the
coming year, President Smiley said
that personally, he was ignorant Of
what the promise was, but that DR..
Graves said he fully expected 200 stu

"
The following article on THE Adapt
ability of Education" expresses con-
cisely the ideas now uppermost in the
minds Of the educators of the country:
The great secret OF education is to
develop the faculties of the individual;
for 1t may happen that his real talents
may lie hidden and buried under his
education. A decided character, how
ever. is r%epugnant to a particular pur-
suit, delighting in another; talents,
languid and vacillating in one profess
sion, we might find vigorous and settled
in another; an Indifferent lawyer might
be an admirable architect. At present
all our human bullion is sent to be
melted down down in a university. to
mould. a bright physician, a bright
lawyer, a bright divine; in other words,
to adapt themselves for a profession
preconcerted by their parents. By this
means we may secure a titular pro-
f~ession for our SON; but the true genius
OF the avocation, the bent OF the mind.
as a man Of great original power call
ed 1t, is too often absent. Instead Of
finding fit offices for fit men. we are per-
petually discovering, on the stage Of
society, actors out of character.
"a laughing philosopher, the Democ,
ritus Of our day. once compared human
life to a table pierced with a number of
holes, each OF which has a pin made
exactly t fit it, but which pins being
stuck in hastily, and without selection,
chance leads inevitably to the most
awkward mistakes. For how often do
we see.' the orator pathetically con-
cludes, how often, I say, do we see the
round man stuck into the t~hree-corner-
ed hole"

of Imprisonment to which he was sen

PITCHER EGAN LEAVES
Today for Providence, Where He will
Play this SeasOn--.In Joe They
Have a Valuable Man.

Joe Egan, who has resided in this city
all winter, will leave here today for
Providence, r. l., on which team he has
signed to pitch the coming season.
Joe is the brother of the famous Jack
Egan, who was signed by Washington
but was afterwards drafted to Provi-
dence. and who three years ogo won the
pcnnant for that team by pitching every
other day, and of the twenty games he
pitched he won them all.
Joe Egan is what you might call
giant, and first gained distinction on the
Media team when he pitched against
gang of professionals and only gave them
two hits.
After this game he was recommended
to Providence, and was afterwards signed
by them.
Joe has peculiar ball, which re-
sembles an upshoot and is very puzzling
to the batter. His curves and speed are
also good, and being able to change his
delivery from speedy to slow ball, he
is a very valuable man to have.
Joe is also good hitter, and when not
pitching he will more than likely play in
the field.
Joe's Wilmington friends wish him
the best of luck in his new field of labor.
