GIFTS 10 Yale and Harvord.

Commencement week is the time
when the colleges take stock" like
business firms and reckon up the finan-
cial receipts of the year. The presi-
dents of Yale and Harvard have made
announcement showing that the year
has been one of remarkable prosper
ity for both institutions. In the last
twelve months each has received gifts
aggregating about $2,000,000. No fur
Their proof is needed to show that the
remarkable new era of educational
donations and of university expansion
continues undated. The most strik-
ing announcement Is that Of J. Pier
pont Morgan's offer to erect a group
OF buildings for the Harvard Medical
School at a cost Of about 1000, 900.
The buildings are to be a memorial to
Mr.. Morgan's father. The new archi-
tsctural building and an endowment of
100000 for that department have
been given by Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson
Robinson Of New York. In addition
to these important gifts President
Eliot was able to announce that more
than $7s0, 900 in cash had been given to
Harvard University in the last year.

Big and Little Raindrona.

The Paris Meteorological society has
undertaken the labOrious task Of
measuring the dimensions of rain
drops. 1t is found that the largest
are about one-siXth of an inch and the
smallest one-500th of an inch in di-
ameter. They are larger in summer
than in winter and larger in hot
than in cold climates. At the moment
of condensation of the water vapor
to the liquid state great numbers OF
extremely small drops are formed in
close proximity. AS they fall they
come together and coalesce in conse-
quence of mutual attraction, and so
what we call raindrops are formed.

FOUNDER OF - *
* * DAWSON CITY.

Joseph Ladue, the founder of Daw-
son City in the Klondike, died last
week at his home in Schuyler Falls,
N. Y. He had not been well since his
return from Alaska and spent last
winter at Colorado Springs in vain
search for health. He fell victim
OF consumption, contracted in the Sc
we're northern climate. He leaves a
widow and one son.
The adventurous career of the pros
pector was begun on a farm near the
northern end Of Lake Champlain,
where he was born In mis- early man
hood Mr.. Ladue went to the far north
Yukon, having been attracted by the
fine woodland in the neighborhood.
Here he bought 100 acres of land, built
a sawmin and established an embryo
trading post
1t was upon his land that gold was
first discovered in the Yukon region,
and Ladue's trading post became the
prosperous city Of Dawson, the north
ern city Of gold His estates in the
Klondike region, with the property
that he has sold are said to be worth
several millions of dollars.
Mr.. Ladue returned to his home near
Plattsburg in July, 1897, and told
strange stories of the gold-mad colony
in the North. Love for Miss Anna
Mason of Schuyler Falls, n. Y, led the
gold king back to civilization. She
had been engaged to Mr.. Ladue for
many years, and the marriage had
been postponed from time to time,
awaiting the day when the lumber
business on the Yukon would justify
the union. Fortune was the ally of
romance and Miss Mason became Mrs.
Dadue a few weeks after her fance's
return in 1897.
Before Mr.. Ladue strayed into the
Yukon Valley, in 1882, he had spent

Russia and the Bounty.

Unless Russia actually pays her sug-
ar refiners to export their product our
law does not subject her sugar to dis
eliminating duties. But she does not
pay them. She simply refunds them
the amount they have already paid in
domestic taxes. She doesn't even do
that completely. She gives them GER
tificates Of export which may be used
in paying their taxes a year later, but
which are worth per cent less than
cash on the spot If Russia did not col
lect any tax on sugar at all nobody
would contend that she paid bounty
on exports. If she had a system by
which sugar designed for export was
shipped directly abroad without pay
ing tax, while the tax was collected
on that retained, it would be a bounty.
But because she collects her domestic
taxes from all sugar alike, and then
gives them back to exporters, not in
cash, but in the shape of certificates
receivable for next years taxes, Mr..
Gage insists that she pays a bounty.
II the remission of tax is a bounty
we may as well prepare for tariff
war with every country on earth, for
there is not one of them that does not
give its exports that chance to COM
pete on even terms in foreign markets,
says the San Francisco Examiner.

cry in this country will find food for
thought in the present efforts that are
being made to coax the idlers and

1t is the same old Macedonian cry
for help from the farmers Of Kansas

the reapers are few. Vast fields of
golden grain are already overripened
and the farmers are threatened with
heavy losses through inability to Sc
cure the necessary help to harvest the
crop. Employment agencies and rail-
road companies are making the
most tempting offers to the unem-
ployed. In some instances wages as
high as So per day and free transporta-
ton are offered. But the iGlers prefer
the overcrowded city with a meager
and uncertain livelihood to good wages
and plenty to eat on the harvest fields
of the Dakotas.
