MAN THAT GOT THERE
HE MADE A GREAT UNIVERSITY
OF YALE.
Timothy Dwight, Retiring Tesidont,
and His Services for "Old Ell'-Hc
Has Welded u Powerful influence In
Educational Affairs.
(SDecial Letter.

The resignation of Timothy Dwight
from the presidency of Yale university
will relieve from active duty one
Of the most celebrated men of culture
and letters connected with an Amerl-
can institution of learning Preslden!
Dwight has asked to have his reslgna-
ton go into effect at the end OF the
present college year in June, but every
effort is being made to induce him TO
reconsider his decision and to continue
to hold the reins of government over
the sons and officials of old Ell until
the summer of the second year of the
new century. President Dwight has
been the head of Yale university since
1856, when on May 20 he was unani-
mously chosel by the corporation or
the college to succeed DR.. Noah Porter,
who had resigned six months before.
Timothy Dwight is a thorough product
of Yale influences. He is a grandson
Of the famous DR.. Timothy Dwight,
who was president of the college from
1895 to 1917, in the stirring years OF
the new republic. His father was James
Dwight, a merchant, and he was born
at Norwich, Conn.,, in 1928. He en-
tered Yale at the age of II and grad
uated with high rank in 1S49. After
graduating he entered Yale a second
time as a theological student, and at
the same time became a tutor in the
college. After four years OF work
among the students Mr.. Dwight re-
signed his professorship and went
abroad, devoting his time again to
study, which he pursued at Eonn and
Berlin. After three years soJourn
in foreign countries he returned to
America and again became associated
with the life of the New Haven uni
versity, being named Buckingham pro-
lessor of sacred literature in the theo-
logical school, position he retained
until asked to occupy the presidential
chair, left vacant by the resignation
of Noah Porter. Professor Dwight was
also a member of the American COM
mittee for the revision Of the English
version of the bible.
1t is largely owing to the personal
zeal of the retiring president that Yale
developed from a college into uni
versity. This important advancement
was effected at the opening Of the new
year following his acceptance of the
office, and since the initial term OF
President Dwight Yale has steadily
increased in size, scope and impor-
lance. During lis wise SUPPLEMENTARY
many new buildings have been added

FreakA Of the MauSer.


"Those Mauser bullets did some
mighty queer things" said a wounded
soldier the other day to a New York
Commercial Advertiser man. "As long
as they were flying through the air
they went straight enough, but when
one struck a mans body there was no
telling what it would do Sometimes
it would be straight through him,
bones and all, and go tipping on to
plug some poor fellow half a mile
away, perhaps. And then, again. it
might chase around inside him like
hen with her head cut off. l saw
man who was hit in the right eye by
Mauser. The ball, instead of lodg-
ing in his brain, went through his
temple and down the side Of his face
in front of his ear, just under the skin.
1t kept on under his skin, leaving a
red track all the way, went down the
side of his neck, over his shoulder and
down his back. Near his waist it came
out The man is getting we'll. An
other man was shot in the left breast.
The ball went through his chest, turn
ed down, went through his liver, plow-
ed its way through the muscles of his
right thigh and came out near his right
knee. It's mighty queer the way those
balls go sometimes. l suppose they
hit bones and glance, but that won't
account for it always. Another queer
thing is that most all the men were
hit between the belt and the knee. The
Spaniards fired low"

cessJul preparation and selection Of
iockies coupled with his skill in plac-
ing the horses in company they could
defeat, won for Mrs. Pepicr lSge sums
of money in stakes and purses; and in
bets with the bookmakers. Stories are
told of big amounts being wagered on
single events, and it is said that on one
race Mrs. Pepper won besides the purse
something like $4,000 from the layers
of odds. When the season was over
many of her friends advised her to keep
the horses and to race them next year,
but she declined this advice and offered
the horses at public cutlery. She
shrewdly saw that the horses would
bring more money when their prestige
was fresh in the minds of prospective
purchasers, besides she would be TAX
ing no risks on the horses dying or get
ting out of condition. Then she want
ed the money for a purpose, and that
purpose was to assist her husband, Col
onel James E. Pepper, in again getting
a controlling interest in the distillery
that bears his name. 1t will be re-
membered that Colonel Pepper failed
during the early part of last year and
that Mrs. Pepper, who had money in
her own right, bought in the property,
including the thoroughbreds. Mrs.
Pepper, who has been the mems of re-
storing the colonel to his old position
in the distillery, was one of the most
beautiful women in Kentucky, when as
Miss Ella Offutt she was social favor
lite in Louisville, Shelbyville, Lexington
and other Kentucky cities.

II a drawee accepts draft and Or
ders the bank to change it to his ac-
count would such a charge to the GUS
toner's account require stamp?
Also, in case a draft is presented and
accepted, which is duly stamped, and
the bank of the acceptor, acting I'M
der general instructions, paid it, or in
case of a note, and charges the same
to the customers account, should such
a draft or note, or the charge made,
require a stamp? These two questions
were recently sent to the commissioner
of internal revenue for ruling, and
in answer he says that il the accept
ance of a draft is accompanied by an
order to the bank to pay the same and
charge to the account OF the drawee,
this accompanying order requires in
addition 2-cent stamp as an order
for the payment OF money. In case OF
a banks paying a note and charging
same to account Of the depositor no
liability to stamp occurs thereby, I'M
less some written direction is given
by the maker Of the note to the bank,
which is in effect an order to the bank
to pay the amount of the note from
funus 20 the credit of the maker OF
the note; this order would require a
2-cent stamp. 1t is not the charge by
a bank to a depositor's account which
is taxable, but the order authorizing
the bank to make such charge.

Gus velvet roses with violet leaves find
very general favor. as do roses COM
bined with the lighter shades of silk.
The larger the flowers themselves, the
more satisfactory they seem to be from
the wearer's view point. In fact, not
a few of the present offerings out-na-
ture nature, both in size and brillian-
cy of hue. Other flowers are popular,
yet none so much so as the rose. The
widespread vogue of velvets for all
sorts and descriptions of hat trimming
has forced flowers toward the back
ground somewhat, although a good as
sortment of the counterfeit blossoms
is an essential feature Of all well-regu-
lated stocks.

TIMOTHY DIV lGHl, u. D., LII. L..
to the college halls, among the most
notable being Dwight hall, dormi-
tory named in commemoration of I.
G. Lawrence. the Kent chemical labo-
ratory, the library donated by S. B.
Chittenden of Brooklyn, lecture and
recitation rooms. Many of the de-
partments of the university were in
creased in usefulness by large dona-
tons, and the number of students al
most doubled the record of previous
years-never during the term of any
president has SO much money been
left to Yale university. Timothy
Dwight is practical financier, and
he governed the university wisely and
we'll.
President Dwight has been honored
with various degrees. In April, 1869,
he was pronounced doctor of divn-
ity by the Chicago Theological semi
nary. Yale gave him the same title in
1886. Harvard made him an LII. D. in
the year of the centennial and Prince
ton followed suit in 1888. He is the
author of THE True Ideal of An
American University" commentary
on the Gospel Of John, Translated
from the French OF F. Godet, with
Preface, Introductory Suggestions and
Additional Notes." and is editor Of
several volumes Of the American edi-
ton Of Meyers commentary on the
New Testament" He is also the au-
thor of many writings on college topics
compiled for different magazines.
In an interesting article in the For
UNI of 1887 President Dwight tells the
public how he was educated, begin
ming, as Henry Ward Beecher advised,
"by securing the right father and
mother" The fathers cultured an
cestry is we'll known, while he says Of
his mother that 80 strong was her
determination that her children should
be educated that, as l have often
thought, if there had been only one
school or college in the country and
that one in Oregon, she would have
taken her family there regardless OF
all difficulties and hardship and would
at any cost have secured for them the
blessing which she so highly priced" "
All through life President Dwight has
been an advocate of the theory that in
tellectual stimulus must come primar-
lily and most forcibly from family in
fluences. He says:
Education is like religion in many
respects. The children of a household
grow most easily and naturally in the
religious life not when the parents are
always talking about it and pressing it
upon them, but when the atmosphere
OF the house is so full of religion that
they do not think of leading any other
life. And in the same way, when par
ents make their children sharers in a
true intellectual life possessed by
themselves and make the house full
OF the sense Of the blessedness of
knowing, the minds OF the children
will surely awake to the knowledge
and will be educated as the years go
on. My own mind was awakened in
this way. The years OF manhood have
not done for me all that could have
