GOSSIP AND CURRENT COMMENT
FROM THE METROPOLIS.

Or. John II. Finley, who Has Been
Selected President of the College
of New YOrk-His Career Has Been
Peculiarly Typical and He Is the
Only Man Who Ever Filled a
Chair of POIitics-SOmcthinH About
John Raines and His Brothers.
He Is the Plat Leader in the State
Senate and Has Been Getting
Some Good knocks LateIy-Once
the Family Was n Real Power in
State Politics and Had National
Aspirations Now John Is the Only
One Who Is strongly in Public
Life.
New York, April 25.-The recent
choice of MIR. John H. Finley as presi-
dent of the College of the City of New
York brings to mind the salient points
in a career peculiarly typical.
DIR. Finley--his old-time friends af-
fectionately call him JOHNS a pro-
dust of the Middle West. He is still
young man, but he has already lived
on many levels and his tendency has
been constantly progressive. A good
share of his energies has been devoted,
in one way or another, to literary and
editorial effort and the work of his
pen is well and favorably known in
the office of more than one of the inn
portant publication offices.
1t has been said in print that DR..
Finley earned his way at Knox Col
lege, Galesburg, ILL.,, by working in a
printing Office.
That is true, but he earned the
money that carried him through the
preparatory school by working on a
farm. He passed one of the most i'm
portant of his early examinations af-
ter working half day blowing OUT
turnips, and between the completion
of his work in the field and the taking
Of the examination he walked several
miles in a hot summer sun. This gives
some notion of the mans tireless
energy.
After John Finley had finished his
studies he came to this town and took
executive charge of one of the more
important charitable organizations. I
think it was the Society for Improve
ing the Condition of the Poor; at all
events, the organization was more eff
fective under his direction than it had
ever been before and the nature OF his
whole life work seemed thus to be
marked out.
But it was at about that time that a
well-known and rising publisher, who
was personally much interested in
Knox College, decided that Finley
ought to be it's president. This de-
cision was tantamount to the accept
ance of the proposition both by the
college and Mr.? Finley. He took the
place and was then the youngest col
lege president in the world, and he
filled his short term in the Office to
the highest satisfaction of all con-
cerned, giving it up only because he
was called to New York to assume
important editorial duties.
DR.. Finley il only 40 now, and IN
the natural course Of events he should
rise TO a very high place in the educa-
tiOnal world.
He is hearty and jovial as we'll as

IN SEARCH OF HEALTH.
New Jersey Couple Who Are Making
journey in Road Wagon.

There arrived in this city yesterday
afternoon about o'clock a homemade.
one-horse wagon. bringing Mr.. and Mrs.
John w. Harrison, aged couple of
Bellville, N. j., who are travelling slowly
through the open air to Atlanta, Ga, for
their health They have been over nine
weeks on their journey already and do
not care, they say. how much longer it
takes if only the cold weather does NOT
make it too uncomfortable for them.
They had planned to remain in Washing
ton for week or more, in order to have
plenty of time to view the sights of the
capital city. but the cold urges them
south. and they expect to leave late this
afternoon for Alexandria. where they
intend to remain over night, starting for
Richmond in the morning.
They left Baltimore last Wednesday after
visit there of ten days, and came Into
this city over the Bladensburg turnpike
The presence of the wagon on the streets
of this city today and yesterday evening
caused much comment. They put up FOR
the night at a livery stable, and this morn
ing took a short drive to see the Capitol,
the Library. the White House and several
other of the public buildings.
Mr.. Harrison called at The Star office
this afternoon to get himself reported"
as he expressed 1t. and many persons
stopped to look at the queer wagon. look
ing queerer than ever among the other
vehicles of Pennsylvania avenue.
The couple expect to be about nine
months on the entire trip and will return
to their home in New Jersey in the wagon.
Mr. Harrison shows few traces OF Ill con-
dition. though he says he has picked up
wonderfully since leaving Belleville. Dur
ing the entire journey he and his wife have
never missed sleeping out nights in their
wagon. which Is carpeted inside and water
PROCEED out. Mrs. Harrison is hearty at the
age of sixty-f1ve. She says they buy their
food on the way along, cooking it on little
stove carried in the wagon for the purpose.
Nothing in the way of accidents has inter-
fered with the progress of the travellers
thus far. The wagon-a our-wheeled affair
contains cupboard for clothes, another
for provender, and a folding bed. with hair
ma ttress. 1t has been drawn from Belle
vile by the horse that pulled it into Wash
ington. big five-year-old bay bred in New
Jersey.

PETER IS PASSIVE.
servia's King Desires to Resume Dip
lomatic Relations With Us.

BERLIN, November 2S.-M. Mietchevitch.
the Servian minister here, has requested
United States Ambassador Tower to for
ward to Washington an autograph letter
from King Peter to President Roosevelt
informing him of his accession to the
throne.
Mr. Tower accepted the letter and cabfed
the fact to Washington. The step taken
by King Peter is doubtless designed to bring
about resumption of diplomatic relations
between Servia and the United States.
which iapsed after the assassination of
King Alexander and Queen Draga.
John B. Jackson, the United States minis
ter to Greece, Roumania and Servia was
making a tour of the Balkans, presenting
his credentials. at the time of the tragedy
at Belgrade. and he avoided going to that
city, on instructions from Washington.
Indirect inquiries have been made to Mr..
Jackson by the authorities at Belgrade as
to whether he did not intend to visit King
Peters court. to which he replied that he
would not do until directed from Wash
inGton. which. until Ambassador Tower for
warded his dispatch, had not been officially
informed that such person King Peter
existed.
Precisely why the Servian kings letter
should have been sent through this en-
bassy instead of the embassy at Vienna
does not appear.
