PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 23.-Therr has
been more interest in general athletics
shown at the University of Pennsylvania
during the past week than at any pre-
vious time this year. Candidates for the
track team have increased in numbers
every day, and Trainer Murphy has had
his hands full instructing the new men.
Managers of the La Crosse Association
have received encouragement from the
great interest manifested; golf and fencing
have grown much in favor and the baseball
men have begun light work to get in con-
dition for practice in the cage. The en-
suing indoor and spring seasons promise
to be the most successful in Pennsylivania's 5
athletic history
The indoor eight-lap track is in perfect
condition. and every day from forty to
fifty men in spike shoes run a few laps to
keep in condition. This is encouraging to

painting, Verestchagins Napoleon seems to be utterly lacking in the in spiration of high art.
 Veresthagin's less ambitious sketches and genre bits are more interesting than his battle scenes, because they re- veal in a more poetic way what is quaint and picturesque in Russian life, without the wearisonle sense of elabora- tion. One of the most luminous pie lures is Winter Fog on the Kremlin," with the famous view from the bridge and with immense ramparts of snow In front of the palaces, churches and towers. There are also gllmpses of the gorgeous churches, with their brilliant ceremonials, and there are strong types of Russian peasantry, with the charac- teristic tone of sadness which is al- ways to be seen in their stolid faces. Verestchagin is most effective when he is least matter of fact. His realism In the battle scenes is hard prose; he seems to be attempting to adjust too closely his personal experience and practical knowledge to the incidents of a campaign, and it Is only in his rapid sketches that he allows himself poetic license and is ena bled to make a subtle appeal to the imagina tion.-I.

CHEERING TESTIMONY,

Such testimony as that given by a
 Sheffield correspondent of the Hardware
 Trade Journal of Birmingham, England,
 is cheering to all who like to see the
 trade of this country expand. The cor- respondent confesses the reality of the sales of American hardware in England, and in Sheff1sld itself, and sets forth the cause of this displacement of home
 manufactures. The miners strike of 1898 and the more recent engineers
 strike are cited as the occasion of di- version of trade which English firms are unable to get back. America and Germany were then given orders which led to permanent business connections, and England will probably never recov- CT all the customers then lost. The game of the foreigner effectually," and adds: "The Sheffield manufacturers have not yet recovered from the effects of that dispute, and the engineers strike, which dislocated industry in the end of 1897 and beginning of 1S98 great ly accentuated the calamity" A case is cited of two large foreign custom ers," whose orders are worth $100,000 year, who have at length after five years been won back, but the great ma- jority of the customers lost during the coal war are permanently lost.
 The engineers strike was even more injurious to British industry. It sent many orders abroad, and is now follow ed by rush of orders beyond the ca pacity of the British manufacturers Prices are advanced by the accumulat- ed demand, with the result that a fur ther opening is made for American and German competitors. But for the strike English locomotive builders, for exam pie, could have filled all orders of Eng fish railroad companies at low prices, but now that work is resumed they are unable to fill in a reasonable time the accumulated orders, and the Midland Railroad company, unable to wait has ordered twenty locomotives from Amer ica.

EAR RNEST, RUT NEEDL ESS.

The focal" part of the Register seems to be engaged in an earnest ef- 1 fort to prove that it makes such awful | mistakes in its wondrous local items
 and in it's still more wondrous "spec- ials" (son1e of which come all the way from Hartford, bgosh) that it is dan- gerous for other papers to copy them. This effort is superfluous as far as the other papers are concerned. They know the risk they run in copying from the Register, and if they do 1t they sin against light and deserve all the trouble it gets them into with those who want their news accurate. If the Register is making an effort to impress the public with the fact that it blunders in its news, that, too, Is super1uous. But if the Register must continue to expose it. self, it should, in justice to itself, pick out its best work For example, such as that 1t did the other day when 1t spoke of "the Hon. F. J. Phelps, formerly minister to New Britain," or that of Saturday when it told about ''the fun eral of Gomez in the headline and the funeral of Garcia in the item. And it might call attention to the staring head line in its paper yesterday which said Saturday, February 12."
 The trouble with the Registers local and special department is that the Register has, in it's new and high blown pride, forsaken the good old custom of it's palmy days when its wheelbarrow came to the office of the Journal and Courier every morning and went back through the convenient alley laden with news that was news. Now the Register, having improved some what in mechanical facilities, doesn't send it's wheelbarrow after our type It "copies" instead and when it can make a mistake in copying it seems to be perfectly delighted. For instance, the other day 1t slew a man in type who was and is walking about in good health. Dear, blunderng, yet proud Register, come down. Live more hum- bly, and move out of your gorgeously colored and very fragile glass house. Send round your wheelbarrow as of yore to this off1ce and get some straight news. Then you will be respected and admired. and will not have to call at- tention to your blunders in order to get noticed. In fact, you wont have to blow so much anyway.

 It appears that if you go far enough north on this continent you can find a place where the negro's legal rights are respected, even if he is not loved as much as he IS in the northern part of the United States. A suit was recently brought in Montreal against the pro- prietor of the Academy of Music by a colored man, on the ground that the former. having sold him a seat In the orchestra to witness performance. re- fused to let him occupy the place when he came to the theatre for that purpose. The judge ruled that restriction of the kind urged by the defendant was not ground that could be legally taken. Under what he termed the free demo- cratic constitution" of Canada, the col ored man had the same right that his white brother possessed, and any at tempt to deprive him of this should be strongly denounced. The outcome of the trial was that the managers of the theatre were fined $50.

FASHION NOTES.
Styles i'm Hair and Hands.

The pompadour is somewhat on the wane, though it is still a fashionable method of doing the hair and will re- main so for long time with those wo- men whom 1t becomes. Already the most popular form of it includes part, and the exactions of the original ar engagement are being relaxed generally. A departure that goes still farther and almost or quite destroys the pompa- dour suggestion has the hair wave soft ly away from central part to we'll over the ears. This arrangement is well suited to very youthful and to long and marrow faces. One pretty form of it is shown herewith. The waves from this
