Sir: Mr.. Charles Stewart Smith ably sounds the
praises OF the Chamber OF Commerce IN to-day's
Tribune He might 90 much further and be within
the truth. He might say. for instance, that there
is no other organization in the city which is 30
distinguished for Of ability. integrity, phiIan-
thropy and power when they wish to use iO over
their fellow men-that there is no other body of
men to whom the government of the city might bs
safely intrusted. Compare it. for instance with
the Board OF Aldermen. which is delaying the
Pennsylvania tunnel; with Tammany. or even WITH
the machine politicians OF the Republican party

SrPGFPy At SHORT NOTICE.

One Of the strangest surgical blunders of re-
cent times was committed in a Western city
last week. A well known contractor was at
tackled with Inflammation of the larynx, and the
pain caused thereby led him 10 think that he
had swallowed his false teeth, which were miss
ing when he awoke from his nights sleep. He
was taken 10 a hospital. where impetuous sur
seonS performed an operation which caused his
death. But he had not swallowed his false
teeth or anything else which might work mis-
chief. The teeth were found in his bed

We're the panacea for human ills. Some weeks
ago The Tribune printed an editorial article
concerning the errors made by young men who
were sent out on ambulance calls There had
been so many Of these blunders that they had
become a scandal. Some OF the important hos
pitals in New-York have taken 10 heart the
well meant and respectful counsel Of the Trib-
une, and are trying TO correct the abuses which
have grown up from the dispatching on ambu-
lance calls of doctors OF small experience

value in surgery. Very young surgeons TOO

man was not allowed 70 play. but that there
should have been so strong a sentiment in his
favor is disappointing. Faculty advisory com
mittees may be as vigilant and energetic as
they will. but intercollegiate sport will never
be lifted 10 the highest level until there has
been created 50 strong an Undergraduate senti-
ment that not a voice viii be raised for the man
on whom the least suspicion rests.
II is doubtless a fine thing 10 win-a very fine
thing 10 achieve a victory over a traditional
skilfuI and resolute foe. But victory ar any
price" Is as had a motto as peace at any
price The days when a youth who showed
exceptional athletic ability NJ his preparatory
school could look forward TO four years AT a
leading university practically free OF expense
are gone. The summer nine player can no
longer hope for place on any reputable college
team But il IS 10 be feared that too often
still men who have shown AT a small college
extraordinary skill in baseball or football are
Systematically lured away 10 larger institu-
zion merely on that account. Small colleges are
beginning 10 complain that when they send
their teams ont TO meet the larger ones they
have 10 play against men who have already
worn their cOlors. and then have gone 10 one
of the graduate schools Of their opponents.
It all resolves itself into a question Of what
a youth wants when he goes forth TO do muscu-
lar battle wearing the uniform and the colors
show the world how fast he can run 100 yards
how far he can lift drop kick or how surely
he can hit an inshOot? Or does he want 20 do
his uttermost for the real honor Of his college,
whatever that may involve: II all depends.

ErHIcs OF INTERCOLLEGIATE Sport

There are secumulating signs that the ethics
OF intercollegiate sport are in a condition un-
satisfactorily indeterminate. The advisers OF
the various undergraduate teams seem 10 he
having so much difficulty to keep professional
ism In all its forms outside the pale that some
III advised persons have been advocating the
abolition OF all the fences. Inasmuch as IL is
apparently impossible 10 bar out the protes
sional runs their argument why not abandon
all efforts 10 do so and let him in freely. in
order that the university which keeps its teams
pure may not be al disadvantage with the in
stitution which winks al the evil? or course
that sort OF reasoning should deceive nobody
AS well might one urge the abolition of laws
against crime because they are freouAn,,v
broken IL cannot be disputed. however thar
there is room for elevation Of undergraduate
ana graduate sentiment regarding the managa-
ment OF college athletics. Only last fall one OF
the great universities was for weeks in a far-
ment over the question OF allowing q man n
play on the football team when his nls,-,ns
would admittedly have violated the letter or
one OF its eligibility rules. To be surs the

England's IRISH Harvestmen,

\ writer in the London Daily Mail
describes as follows the hardships ell
dured by small farmers in one of the
poorer parts of Western Ireland:
Il counted ffty-siX homes in one
cluster at Cleragh. I am sure that if
the land they stand on were offered in
one estate as a free gift TO the meanest
little farmer in England, he would
think it a bad joke. But, as a fact,
rent is charged for it. Between them
the fifty-siX farmers pay, at a very
moderate computation, $50 or l1GO a
year for the privilege of residing on it.
Each has four or five acres of stones.
"Of course it is impossible to make a
living so. even in the utmost misery.
"What these farmers Co, in order to
pay their rents, is to work in England
during nine or ten months Of the year.
They bring home ZIG or 600 in Novam-
Der. That frees them, and keeps star
walton just at arms length. These are
some of the men I have met in the
north, such hard workers in the hay
field that a Yorkshire farmer prefers
the best of these to all others. One
man will come ever to the same farm
for twenty, thirty, and forty years. If
he is not there when the grass is ready
the Yorkshire farmer knows he has
not the money 10 pay his fare, and
sends it,"

$40 Ye Aged and Beloved, Mr.. John
Higginson: There is now at sea a
ship called the Welcome, which has
on board an hundred or more of the
heretics and malignants called Quak-
ers, with w. Penn, who is the chief
scamp, at the head of them.
'"The general court has according
ly given secret orders to Master Ma
lachi Huscott, of the brig Porpoise, to
waylay the said Welcome, slyly, as
near the Cape of Cod as may be, and
make captive the said Penn and his
ungodly crew, so that the Lord may
be glorified, and not Knocked on the
soil of this new country with the
heather worship of these people.
"N1uch spoil can be made by selling
the whole lot to Barbados, where
slaves fetch good prices in rum and
sugar. and we shall not only do the
Lord great service by Furnishing the
wicked. but we shall make great good
for his minister and people.
Master Huscott feels hopeful. and
I will set down the news when the
ship comes back

about those.
