MORE BRAINS NEEDED.
President Hadley Discusses the Man
agement of Colleges.


Chicago, Jan. 4-"By the time of the
Yale bicentennial in 1901 1 believe we
shall see such a reform in the teach
ing work of the university as will bring
all the undergraduate departments into
harmony, and adapt the college work
both to the schools below it and to the
world life after it. I believe that there
will be a progress in the courses of
study which shall make the result of
the education they give the advance of
the student really and truly not only
toward citizenship, but toward the par
ticular kind of citizenship which he
needs to exercise"
This was the way President Arthur
T. Hadley of Yale university character
lied the present lines of development
in his institution in an after-dinner
speech, which he made last evening at
the dinner given in his honor by the
Chicago Yale association at the Univer-
sity club.
Mr.. Hadley had spoken regretfully of
some features of the educational work
of Yale in the past. Il regret" he said,
that progress in matters of instruction
has not been what it should have been.
There has been a lack of progress, of
coordination and of the adaptation of
the studies to the conditions of Ameri-
can life. There is a strong feeling now
that the faculties must use brains in
the reform of the courses of instruction
and put the work into conference with
itself and with outside life"
Then he made the prediction which
has been quoted and continued:
Il do not have great sympathy with
the view that the college course should
be a preparation of students for the
professional or business life. / hold
rather that it should cooperate with
the store and office life that is to follow
and teach those things which would not
be learned in the office or store so as
to make a man big enough to see things
outside of his professional route l
would have it give the graduate a larg-
er knowledge of life so that when the
chance for progress comes he will be
the man to take the lead in it,
Mr.. Hadley spoke also of some of the
material improvements which Yale is
aiming at for the celebration of the
200th anniversary of it's foundation Jan
uary 10 next. His present trip, which
includes many of the largest cities of
the west, is made largely with the view
of stirring up Yale loyalty to aid in the
work and he gave many expressions of
his appreciation to the alumni for the
interest they had shown in their alma
mater
are to be erected as soon as the funds
memorial vestibule, a dining hall and
administration buildings. Then speak
ing of the finances, he said: IF Prince
ton, at the end of a century and a half
of history, could raise from its alumni
a memorial fund of 81 SOC, 900, 1 figure
that Yale at the end of two centuries
can raise 81, 900. 0OO."

NEVER TOUCHED IRON.
Prices Uninhuenced by Wall Street
or Holidays.

Cleveland. O., Jan. 4.-The Iron Trade
Review says:
With SO per cent of the pig iron pro-
duction of 1900 sold in advance, though
not all of this for shipment in the first
six months, it is not to be expected
that any sensational market turns will
be encountered for weeks, if at all. The
significant fact today is that the sensa-
tiOna1 crash in Wall street and the dull
ness of holiday time have left pig iron
prices thus far untouched. Against the
fact that production has overtaken de-
mand, sellers of iron point to the gen.
eral urgency with which deliveries are
called for and the further fact that a
good many important consumers who
began in November to wait for prices to
decline have yet to buy for a round per
centage of their requirements in the
next six months. In some cases the test
will be made on the advance in iron
and steel freights effective January l.
whether buyer or seller shall stand
them on the next purchases made. Bes-
semer pig remains at $25 and is very
firm in view of a slight curtailment of
operations due to the recent Interrupt
ton of ore movement from all markets.
In steel billetS the indications are that
while the mills are not so well flied
with orders are the blast furnaces, the
expectation of buyers who have been
waiting for decline will be disappoint-
ed for the present at least. BeSSemer
steer capacity mas not increased in the
year, apart from the completion of a
new plant in the Wheeling district and
with rail mills so heavily sold for 1900
they will not be heard from in the bill
let market. All lines of finished mater
ial are quiet, with prices for plates a
triher easier, bars strong and sheets
stationary.
Structural mills are we'll occupied and
the prospect of spring work is counted
excellent, if money conditions do not
change unexpectedly for the worse. Of
fetal returns show that the amount of
iron ore received in the past season of
navigation at Lake Erie ports was 49,
222, 1877 gross tons. an increase of SO per
cent over 1898. which with II O2S, 321
tons had been the record year.

BOYS SIGHT RESTORED.
Chicago Youth Favored by Means of
the X-Ray.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Fourteen-year-o
Thomas Smith of Chicago rejoiced to-
day in the complete restoration Of sight
and hearing through the X-ray used
in conjunction with the surgeons knife
and trephining bit
The boy is at the West Side hospital
and there is said to be no doubt of his
recovery from the operation, which was
performed on him more than a week
ago. Today the bandage was removed
from his eyes and he was able to see
objects several feet distant The boy
was strong and well until six months
ago when he was seized with fits of
nausea and pains in the head. These
increased in frequency and three
months ago he lost his hearing.
Four weeks later he became blind in
the left eye and so nearly blind in the
right that only the general form of
large objects could be distinguished.
Symptoms of paralysis developed and
physicians diagnosed the case as a.
brain tumor pressing on the optic and
auditory nerves. An X-ray apparatus
was called upon to verify the diagnosis.
The conformation in the sksagraph was
complete and showed a tumor the size
of an egg over the right eye and slight
1y in front of the temple. The boy was
taken to the hospital and the operation
performed.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

That the dramatization of Charles
Dickens BLEAK House, which Miss
Jane Coombs uses to display her vet

be in part responsible for the fact that

which the audience is thoughtfully &C

a libel on the English novelist's fasci-

in glimpses in her work as Lady Ded-

Siderably improved. In the part of the
French woman she speaks her lines we'll

becomes harmonious with the piece, and
makes it no better than one might ex-
pect to see at popular prices. The work

small weekly salaries, Mr.. Charles A.

his makeup as 'Krook' and his inter

Ex-Congressman Simpson Says Eight
Hour Law Is a Fraud.

Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson has
commenced a fight on the eight-hour law.
He says in his paper. The Bayonet:
What a waste Of energy, the agitation
for eight hour laws. When the wage

effective measures for their relief, it is
not surprising that the employing classes
have been able to run the country. If
there We're ten jobs for every nine men,
what would one man care if another was
fool enough to work himself sixteen hours
or twenty hours a day? If there were ten

LOSES 100000.
Northwestern Elevated Makes Com
promise With Chicago

Chicago, Jan. 4.-The trouble between
the city and the Northwestern Elevated
road came to an end last night for the
time being at least. when after a confer
ence of six hours representatives of the
company and the city officials agreed
upon an extension of time to May 81. for
the road from Wilson avenue to Lake
street and to May 1, from Montrose bOul-
evard to Lake street for which thc COM
pany forfeits its deposit of 100000 anu
various concessions granted it under the
original ordinances.
Ali the cases against employees of the
road for attempting to run trains contrary
to the orders of the police department
will be dropped. An attempt was made
to run q train yesterday, but about fifty
officers stood on the track in front of IT
and others climbed aboard to arrest the
motormen the instant he placed his hand
on the lever. and the attempt was aban-
doned. No trains will now be run until
the final completion of the road.

FIGHT OVER A DOLLAR.
Judgment of ST. Taken to the Court
of Appeals.

An appeal has been fled in the court
of appeals in which the judgment in
volved is only 81. 1t is the Dickinson
BeaI cattle suit, which was tried in the
Shawnee county district court.
Frank Dickinson brought an action
against Alonzo Bea1 to recover $2l0
which he claimed Beal owed him for
pasturing 20 head of Texas steers for
five months. He said in his petition that
the steers had extremely long horns and
caused a great deal of trouble Beal
set up a counter claim stating that he
sold the cattle to Dickinson and that
the latter still owed him SAFE on them.
Dickinson replied that there had never
been any actual sale of the cattle to
him, as they were mortgaged to the
A J. Gillespie Commission company for
double what they were worth.
On the trial of the suit Beal testified
that he had lost money on the cattle;
that he turned over the sale price OF
them on the mortgage and afterwards
paid the balance from the proceeds OF
another bunch of cattle. After wading
through intricacies of the suit, the jury
concluded that the men were about
square, but in order to make Dickinson,
who brought the suit, pay the cost they
gave Beal a judgment for 81 against
him. Dickinson now files an appeal.

MI. Hugo Demuth Will Leave Sc
dalia-

dalia-
The following is from the Sedalia
Democrat:
Hugo Demuth, manager of Demuth' s
Cash store, returned Friday from hol-
iday visit at Topeka Kan, and made
an announcement which brings regret
to both business men and the customers
Of his popular store.
It has been known to a few that Mr..
o. T. Sawyer, who purchased the pres
ent stock from the Seda1ia. Cash Dry
Goods company, retired from the man
agement on November l, when Mr.. De-
muth, his father, and brothers became
the sole proprietors of both the Sedala
and the Topeka, Kan, stores, but it was
hoped the gentlemen would continue TO
operate the store in this city.
Mr.. Demuth brings the news, how
ever. that the parent store in Topeka
has assumed such magnificent proper
lions that it is impossible for his broth
er to take proper care OF II, and 1t VIII
be necessary for him to dispose Of the
Sedalia business before the present
lease expires, on Feb. Is, and go to To-
peka to live.
I'VE have no fault to find with Sc
dalia or the trade it has given US since
we have been here" said Mr.. Demuth
yesterday.
''Sedalia has given US generous patron
age and we consider it the best bust
ness point in the west outside Of Topeka
and we only leave here because We are
obliged to concentrate our working
force. Personally, like Sedalia and
it's people very much in a, social as
well as a business way, and I'm sorry l
can't remain here, but there's no use
regretting. I've got to be in Topeka
for the spring business, and shall close
the store here Feb. is, if I don't sell it
in bulk before"

Deposit company of Maryland to re-
cover a judgment of $1,414. &c. 5000 attor-

ment at the rate of per cent The

Kepley was sheriff in which he closed
out the clothing stock of A L. House
under an execution in favor of Swartz
Jerkowski & Co. The company gave
him a bond signed by the Fidelity and
Deposit company to protect him. After

SHIPPERS GIVE IN.
Fruit Will Be Shipped From Califor-
mia as Routed by Railroads.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 4-The citrus
fruit shippers of this section of the state
have decided to send their fruit to the
eastern markets practically as routed
by the railroad companies. Shipments,
however, are being made under protest,
this fact being noted on the bills of lad
ing.
The shippers do not admit the right
of the companies to absolutely control
the routings, but state that they have
forwarded their fruit in order to pre-
vent loss and an advance in prices. AS
many of the cars loaded since January
1 as could be handled were sent out last
night.
