Tiffany, the great jeweler, who has
just died, had a dissipated son. In
Mr.. Tiffany's will appears these words:
I'm my opinion, which, however, is
not to control the discretion of my
executors, unless radical change
shall take place in his life aud habits
(refcrring to his gay som, the sum OF
5000 per annum, payable 10 monthly
instalIments, will be ample amount
for his proper support and mainten-
ance." His favorite son receives
millions of dollars. What lesson
from the grave to boys who insist
upon going their own pace!- VicksS

The state of Illinois is up
against a penitentiary lnvestiga-
tion that bids fair to rival that
just completed in Mississippi.
The Business Mems Association
of Joliet has made formal demand
on the governorfor the immediate
removal Of the warden and two
of the commissioners. They are
charged with very questionable
methods in, letting convict labor
contracts. But then they must
prove it.-Clarion Ledger.

The man living in this State that

Here is great national question:
Who took care of the babies while the
9Th national council of mothers was in
session at Observation-Disclosures
American.
The same person. probably who
takes care of them when the mother
is doing the sewing and baking and
sweeping for the household; when she
is paying social obligations. doing
church or charitable work or per-
chance the work that keeps root
over their heads and brings in the
bread and bntter supply, or when she
drops in at the polling precinct to
deposit her ballot. There is ALWAYS
somebody to look after the babies.
Very few of them die from willful
neglect on the part of the mother

The peuitentiary investigation
occupied many days and cost the
state about $4,000, but amounted
to practically nothing. While
there was all sorts of evidence Of
carelessness and defective business
methods it seemed there was not
enough to cosyet any man of GRIM
nal acts, and so far as the report
goes nobody is responsible for the
faults found. Though the methods
we're branded as very poor and de-
fective, no action was taken to
rectify or improve them. Where
the, state gets any benefit from the
money spent we are not able to see.

The baseball -.ar ~ the Columbian
University wiz ioarae, South this morn

tossers representing the University of
Virginia on their home grounds-at Char
lottesvilIe. The local aggregation will be
accompanied by large number of rooters
and they expect to make things very in
teresting for the gentlemen beyond the
Potomac. - -.t.
This is the first time in several seasons
that Columbian has had a team strong
enough to encounter the Virginians, but
they have strong hopes of being able to
down the Southerners today. The men
from the local team are all good ball
players and are not lacking in the fine
points of the national game.
The majority of them were members of
the Census Office team last year, ami the
record established by that aggregation
speaks for itself. The members of the
team are for the most part students at
the Columbian Law School, and, conse-
Quently. while they are employed during
the day, are bona fide members of the
university and qualified to play on any
team representing that institution.
The makeup OF the Columbian team
will be as follows: Runkle. second base;
White, shortstop; Adams, first base;
Bielaski, third base, Hack, right field;
Warner, captain and center field; Ever
EFT. left field, Sheldon, pitcher, and Ser
vice catcher.

by leading their respective teams with
best averages, Rice bowling III and
Kicker 162. Britton came second for the
cyclers with 1873 average, while Hill had
high single-193. Cox was second for the
CAROLS with Ill average, and Rice had
