SAMUEL coLcoRD BARTLETT

The Rev. DR.. Samuel Colcord Bartlett,
eX-President of Dartmouth College, died
Nov. 10th at his home in Hanover, y.
H., of acute indigestion. after an illness
of a little over weeks duration.
DR. Bartlett's early life was spent on
the farm in Salisbury, N. H., upon which
he was born Nov. %, 1917. Although he
was compelled to do great deal of ag-
ricultural labor, he was able. at the age
of fifteen, to enter Dartmouth College,
from which he was graduated in 1886. He
was appointed tutor in Dartmouth in
1858, but gave up his post the following
year to study at the Andover Theologi-
cal Seminary, from which he was gradu-
ated In 1912.
In the following year he was ordained
minister and became pastor of the Con-
gregatlonal church at Monson, Mass.
where he remained until 1876, when he be-
came professor of Intellectual Philosophy
and Rhetoric at Western Reserve College.
lie was in charge of the Franklin street
church. Manchester, n. H., for five years
following 1852, and from 1851 to 1853 was
pastor of the New England church, in
Chicago In 1858 he became professor of
Biblical Literature in Chicago Theological
Seminary, where he continued for eigh-
teen years.
President Smith. after administering the
affairs of Dartmouth College for fourteen
years, died in 1877, and the trusteees soon
agreed upon Dr. Bartlett rs his successor.
Dartmouth was not then in a particularly
fourishing condition, but under its new
president quickly showed Improvement.
The debt was greatly decreased and the
income of the college was soon doubled.
The Wilson Library, costing $1,000; the
Rollins Chapel costing $4,000, and the
Young Mems Christian Association build
ing were added in DR.. Bartletts time,
and other college buildings were improv-
ed. Opposition to DR., Bartlett on the part
of large body of the alumni led to his
giving up the presidency after fifteen
years service. His son. Edwin julius
Bartlett, born in 1851, from 1879 To 1888 was
associate professor of chemistry at
Dartmouth, and in 1888 become a full pro-
fessor.
Among considerable literary work by
DI. Bartlett, he published Life and
Death Eternal. A REPUTATION of the Doc
trine of Annihilation." IN 1866, and "A sec
ond edition in 1873; Sketches Of the Mis-
sons OF the A. Il. c. +. NJ" in 1872, Flu
ture Punishment" in 1915, From Egypt
to Palestine; Observations of Journey"
in 1879. and Sources of History in the
Pentateuch' in 1883. While identified with
Chicago Theological Seminary, in 1874 he
crossed the Desert OF El Tih. in Pales-
tine, with the view of comparing in detail
all the circumstances and conditions of
the region with the narrative of the
journey of the children Of Israel.

BREEDING OF HORSES.
Now is the Time for the Breeder to Raise
Them Probably.

Now that the bicycle is undoubtedly on
the Wane, and the trr s'o' 'fr =
horse can be measured without prejudice.
1t is quite evident 10 81. ,iI.,, 90. h.
money in raising these animals fer the
future, says T.. W. Smith in The Michigan
Farmer The days of the horses useful
ness have nsssed for good. On the
contrary. we -. probably see a gradual
revival of the animals popularity, espec-
tally for pleasure driving. great many
disposed of their horses to take to wheel
ing because of the novelty OF the fad, and
they are now returning to their first love
again.
There is better demand now In the
cities for good horses. Poor horses will
never more be needed. Neither will small
horses be needed. Moderate to large-size
horses are the best, and they should be
raised either for their speed or strength.
Weight and strength combined with slow
ness in draft horses will not do. Medium
heavyweight draft horses that have a
brisk walk and a good trot, sell in any
market for sums ranging from $50 up
ward. This is an age OF speed, and the
slow business horse is ruled out. Well
matched pairs of horses that are good
drivers, and crossed with French coach
horses, frequently sell for $1,000 to $500
per pair. Horses of this class are needed
for private stables, and they must com
pine several EOOu
weight, moderate speed, docility of temper.
and good appearance in harness. Style
and speed without too much mettle are
the chief requirements.
Now horses can be raised from colts II
thrce-ycar-o for $50 and horses sold at
this age that have good blood will fire.
Guently sell from three to five times that
amount. Colts have little demand, and ii
does not pay to raise them for the market
One must figure upon holding them until a
good marketable age. In New York n
horse II not much good before It Is six
years of age. But horses intended for that
market should be the cream of the herd
and they should be raised so as to como
up to the three or four hundred dollar
standard,
Besides horses, mules are good animals
to raise on the farm ana many farmers
prefer to breed them to horses, finding, as
they claim, more money in the work The
recent demand for mules by the United
States government for the Spanish wal
showed how few mules We're really in eX-
istence in the country. Now there will be
an increasing demand for mules for Puer-
to Rico and Cuba in the next few years
and there will probably be more money
than usual in the business. These GER
tainly ought to be two good markets for
our mules, for horses are not adapted To
the climate OF the islands, and II will be
many years before electricity will invade
them

NJ. Y. CtNTRAL'S LATEST MOVE.
Bearing of Purchase of Lebanon Springs
Road on Delaware aud hudson.

= The purchase of controlling interest
of the Lebanon Springs Railroad by tho
Central Hudson is of general interest in
financial circles because of the position in
which the Delaware and Hudson is plac-
ed, says the Albany Journal which con-
tinues
Several years ago the New York Cen
trail interests we"o represented for the
first time on the board of directors Of
the Delaware and Hudson, but 1t was
impossible to obtain control of enough OF
the stock of the road to give the Central
Hudson representatives any important
voice in the management. This control
has never been obtained, consequently the
action of the Centra-H udson in obtain
inE the Lebanon Springs road, The lat
ter road, railroad men say. is practically
of no value in its present condition. 1t
extends from Chatham to Eennington,Vt.
but of late years has not been in opera
ton, with the exception of a strip eleven
miles long. The rolling stock. they claim.
is of no value, and the railroad IL worth
less without great expenditure of money
The Central-Hudson idea in taking the
road is said to be to establish a route
from New York to Montreal by means OF
the Rutland and q piece OF road said to
be built from burlington northward.
The Capitalization has another route
to Montreal by way of Or. w. Seward
Webbs road through the northern part
of New York State from Utica. The OPP
Grafton of these two routes by the Cen
tral-Hudson places the d. and II. between
the upper and neither mllstones. in a sort
tremely likely that the Capitalization
will in this way finally come into control
of the ID. and H., which 1t has desired so
long,
