Games Committee of Inter Collegiate
Association Acts on Protest.
Des Moines. June 1.-THE games
committee of the Iowa State Intercol-
legiate Athlete Association met last
night and acted up on the protests filed
against various athletes from contest
ing schools.
Pell of Drake was thrown out on the
ground he ran in an open race in Au-
gust of 1898. The race was a 100-yard
dash and was run at Perry. It was not
shown that there was money upon the
race or that cash prize was offered,
nor that professionals We're in the race
but the simple fact that it was an open
affair was considered enough to throw
him out Young, of Drake, whom every
one thought would much more likely be
thrown out than Pell, was cleared of all
charges against him.
The protests against Fiske, of Grin
nell and Jacobs of Ames were not con-
sidered as the protests We're withdrawn.
They We're protested by Drake. Ames
protested Young and Grinnell Pell.
The throwing out of Pell will make no
material difference as to the result of

LIVING in LONDON.
It Ii Not a Good Place For a Man OF
Small Income.

Small Income.
An American who in the classical
language Of his country Is at present
located" in London wants to know
whether any city in the world is quite
80 niggardly as our town. Ete has
been going the round of the London
restaurants and has encountered in the
management of them spirit which
distresses him. ''There is, to begin
with," he says, 80 charge of from two
pence to sixpence for guarding your
hat and coat in the cloakroom, and
tip in addition isl expected. You want
to wash your hands-another twopence
or another siXpance and another tip.
You take up the menu, and, behold.
there is an intimation that charge of
threepence each person will be made
under the gllise of table money The
charge varies according to the nature
of the place. Threepence is the lowest
and sixpcnce perhaps the average. AT
a great many restaurants it is l shil-
ling and in at least two that have Wis
tied is. Sd. The only difference is
that in the lower priced restaurants 1t
is called table money and in the high
er priced ones placed under the capt-
waiting heading Of CONVERT To my
mind, an entrance fee frankly demand
ed at the door would be much less Of
fensive than to find yourself asked at
the end of dinner to pay for the trou-
BILE and expense Of cleaning up the cut
lery you have used.'
His conclusion of the whole matter Is
that London lives by imposing fixed
tariff on the accessories that in every
other city l have ever been to are
thrown in gratis" and he thinks that
being a gentleman is one Of the most
expensive professions an Englishman
can have. He declares it to be an ut
ter delusion that London is q cheap
place to live in. "For the poor man."
he says '.the man whose income is less
than $500 year, there is no city where
less can be had in the way of comforts
and even the necessities Of life. In
New York 1t Isl only the luxuries that
cost. The expenses of everyday living
may be as great or as small as one
cares to make them. New York, in
fact, is laid out for the poor man.
From the transportation system to the
price of such fundamental charges on
the household treasury as coal, Ice,
fuel. meat, bread, milk and fruit, al
most everything conspires to bring him
in good return for very small out
lay. All these things are cheaper in
New York than in London."-London

Just what Mr. Washington said was
not written down, but it was something
to the effect that if man had but one
