UNIVERSITY To RE RICH.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 The University of Georgia has coming to 1t a legacy of between seOOO,O0O and ss.OOo,oOo Dr. Charles Mccoy, at one time a member of the faculty of the univer- sity, bequeathed at his death. which oc- cured in Baltimore about twenty years ago, $2o0o0 to the institution with the provision that the sum, which was in- vested in railroad stocks, should be com pounded annually at the rate of interest obtainable until his youngest grandson should become H years old. At that time several of Dr. McCoy's children were very young. and 1t is probable that the term of years which the condition embraces will exceed seventy-five years. Treasurer A. L. Hull of the university has estimated that the amount will be, at the time the university may claim 1t, between s6.0OO,OO0 and $s,0O0.OOO. and his estimate is based upon quite a low rate of interest .t

permanence of order now prevailing there is that the Indians who at present occupy the territory are as white men in their practices and beliefs, and are. for the larger part peaceable farmers and stock men. who have cultivated their acres till they compare favorably with those Of white neighbors in Kansas and Texas.
 The danger is, not that the Indian will suffer by enlargement from tribal re- straints. but that he may not be able to meet the conditions imposed by a state more highly individual. His tribe is commune. Though we are threatened by a reversion to communal forms in our government civilization has been ac- eomplished through individual effort, and 1t is when he accepts civilization and mingles with it's opponents that the red men is most sore1y tried. He is a prey to temptations that are brought against him by white schemers, eager for his lands; he succumbs readily to vices and diseases that were unknown to him be- fore white invasion; he has to cope with men whose craft in trades and politics is keener than his own and he will suffer iOcS WilcIi LAlebe AAoN bAfO a profit to him, as his tribe leases them to companies, pass from his control.
 Yet. there is no question of the Indians capacity for citizenship. He is above the ordinary migrant in physique, in mind and morals. The ray, illiterate Slav or Syrian. who Is admitted to the franchise IS not even half so promising as personal social or even industrial factor as Is the Indian. It is his misfortune that he has chosen tribal autonomy to citizenship; has preferred virtual pauperism to per sonal independence. The time Is rapidly passing when he is possible as a tribes man. We have ill-treated him; we have been faithless to our promises; but the best we can do is to receive him as a member of our body polite.

DOUBT IN THE EMPIRE STATE.

New York Letter to the Philadelphia
 Public Ledger.
 This was a democratic day in New York. The opinion spread that ex-Controller Coler had a much better prospect of eiec- ton than had been supposed, and that there was an excellent chance for the democrats capturing control of congress The various newspaper estimates, show ing that the majority on either side in this state would probably be small, the great democratic mass-meeting held in Madison Square garden, the reports Of fresh allegations against Governor Odel1 and the confident predictions put forth by democratic managers were, no doubt responsible for this change in political weather probabilities.
 Today the wind blew Otherwise. What it will be tomorrow remains to be seen The feeling that the election was close, with improving democratic chances, com municated itself to Wall, street, and the depression in the stock market was by some attributed to this, for to the Wall street mind, democratic success would im- ply tariff revision, possibly disturbance of existing financial conditions, and an indorsement of the government ownership of coal lands plank. The fact Is that this election is harder to forecast than any of its predecessors in recent years. It has been largely a still hunt on both sides The campaign has been and is directed by Governor Odell on the one side ana ex-Senator Hill on the other, and they have carried their headquarters "in their hats" as 1t were. There will be no locai- ization of campaign infringement in this city to the degree that has existed Tn previous years.
 Moreover, there are few or no surface indications. There has been apparent ly an entire public apathy. Yet the peo- ples interest in the result may be deep CT than 1t seems to be. The contest in a few words, Is the city vs. the country The city is represented by MT. Coler. the democratic candidate, and the country by Governor Odell the republican candi- date. MT. Coler is to carry the city by a heavy majority and Governor Odell will carry the country by a large majority. The question Is whether the country vote will overcome the city. Four years ago. when Roosevelt ran for governor, there was only slender margin between the two It looks as if there will be agaIn narrow margin this year, with an exist ing doubt as to whether this margin will be in favor of Coler or Odell

REFLECTIONS oF A sAcHELoR

From the New York Press.
 In computing a woman's age plus 2 makes 1.
 A man buys clothes to wear; woman to look at.
 Bride your tongue and you sadie your temper.
 Sometimes bright young men grow up to be almost useful citizens.
 In the social swim life preservers are not so important as reputation preservers.
 Take some imagination. mix with a lit- tie passion, bottle 1t up--and you have a love affair
 A man who marries for money may lack sentiment. but he has a large stock of good horse sense.
 When a woman Is dead sure it isn't a burglar, but a cat, she makes her husband go down stairs to see about 1t so as to be able to brag how brave he is.
 There will never be any solving of the way a woman's mind works until some one can explain why she hates to have her husband smoke and yet respects him 1 for being able to do 1t

From the Washington Star.
 Robert E. Lee Brown, word of whose death in Arizona reached Washington several days ago, was a mining engineer of international reputation. He was known at the state department through the negotiations entered into by this gov
 ernment looking to a settlement of his five million dollar (one million pounds) judgment against the former South Afri can republic.
 MT. Brown was not only an unusually successful mine operator, but also a man of striking and picturesque personality.

 terested in silver and lead mines, he was
 known as Barbarian" Brown, and in the
 Transvaal as Marc Antony" Brown.

 were bestowed upon him as a recognition
 of his force of character. During the
 lawiessness in the Occur d'Alenes at the
 time of the Homestead strikes, MT.
 Brown published paper in the interests
 of the mine owners which he styled "rhe
 Barbarian" and in which he fearlessly
 exposed conspiracies against the public

 raid in addressing a public gathering, Mr. Brown warned the working men of Johannesburg against casting their lot with the wealthy revolutionists who az that time were seeking to overthrow Kru- gers government. This admonition. which subsequent events showed to be sound and timely, fell like a bomb into the camp of the millionaires. for MT. Brown at the time was consulting engin- ger for the Barnato mines and was him. self interested in many of the big mining undertakings on the Rano This speech won him the title of Marc Antony Brown and served to establish him in such favor with Dom Paul that when Dr. Jameson and the wealthy leaders of >the cable were lodged in jail in Pretoria, MT.

Grover Cleveland.

"I was never a partisan of Cleveland but whenever he was the standard bear CT of the democratic party I voted for him." said an old democrat of Jefferson
 Now, as I look back over the past and look at present conditions, l begin to think that Cleveland is the greatest dem ocrat that has lived in my time. re- tract all of the filings that l have made against the ex-president. His nomination speech, which appeared in the Age-Her- aid Friday morning, was a splendid pol emic. considered simply as polemic art, but the best of it was MT. Cleveland was on the right side of the tariff ques- ton.
 e And what pleases me now beyond measure is to see papers like the Wash ington Post, which had the habit of dis crediting Cleveland, writing as follows:
 'Ex-President Cleveland, in his oc- casionaI manifestations of interest in politics and a desire to see his party re- habilitated and reinstated in the position which 1t held during the first two years of his second term, encounters so much of unkind treatment at the hands of democrats that the republicans could well afford to treat him courteously. The Bryan newspapers miss no opportunity of shying dornicks at the head of the only democrat who has filled the presi- dental office since James Buchanan's unhappy term expired. Need republican papers emulate that example?'
 "The ex-President is not and never has been a sympathizer with republican prin- cipies and policies, except in the matter of sound currency. On that question he stands, and always has stood, with Jef- ferson, Jackson and Benton. It was not his fault that the majority of his party cut loose from the doctrine of the fathers, nor was he to blame for the existence of conditions in 1896 that rendered him and his following. including most of the dem ocratic leaders, virtually allies of the re- publican party.
 Being a democrat what could be more natural or commendable on the part of MT. Cleveland than to desire and work for the reorganization of his party on democratic principles? That is precisely what the country needs more than any thing else at this time. That need is recognized by the wise men of both par ties.''

SHE NAMES THE CATTLE.
Hard Task For Miss Thompson to
 Keep Fathers Herd Supplied.

From the Kansas City Star.
 An examination of the official cata- iogue of cattle and swine show like the American Royal shows a long list of catchy and romantic names by which the animals are known. To the casual at tendant at the show or those uninitiated to the careful and painstaking methods which are employed in keeping herd of fine cattle in constant readiness for how so many names can be utilized with out exhausting the resources of the breeders.
 Usually this important part of the work Is assigned to the cattleman's wife or daughter. Miss Roxy Thompson of Nashua, Mo, the daughter of Uncle Blue" Thompson, the pioneer Galloway breeder of the west gives names to all of the cattle in the herd belonging to her father and brother. The firm is known as L B. & A. M. Thompson. Miss Thomp son has been in constant attendance at the show here this week. She is a young woman about 20 years old, and gradu- ate of Christian College, Columbia, Mo. It has always been her delight to take an interest in the cattle. The herdsmen say she knows quite as much about Gall loways and the care of them as they do.
 "The naming of so many cattle Is no easy task" said Miss Thompson yester- day. "The names must not conflict, and each must, of course. be consistent with the sex of the animal. This requires a careful keeping of records. We not only give names of cattle belonging to the show herd. but every bull, COW. heifer and calf on the farm which is registered must have a name, whereby we can dis tinguish him from his brothers and sis- ters My brother usually waits until he has a great long list of those registered. and then brings the list to me. I get out the records of names which have been given, sit down at my typewriter and be- gin to think hard. Our cattle family in- creases pretty rapidly. so this work has to be gone through with rather often.
 'I make up most of the names now. The list of flowers, stars. operas, trees. mountains, rivers. lakes. etc, were ex- hausted long time ago. Usually I take syllables of names of people whom I know-yes, sometimes they are young mems names-and by putting them to- gether in such way that they sound well. obtain satisfactory results.
 "Of course catchy names are best. and always try to get that kind. The breed- CTS association will not accept name which contains more than eighteen let ters so the length must be considered also. Everybody uses numbers great deal. such as Dragoon of Wavertree l., IL, H.. etc. The names of the members of our family and all the relatives names were used up long ago. Several of the cattle have the same name as my own. They were named for me or I for them. I don't know just which way father ar ranged that.
 "Oh! There's Cabel Miller. one of our bulls, with a blue ribbon on. Isn't that fine?
 'Well, goodbye, I must go and congrat- ulate him. Yes, I'll name one for the Star some time and one for you, too. if you want me to-
