PERSONAL.

The Russian Emperor evident
ly knows the difference between
hunting and butchering. A Viennese
journal remarks that while very fond
of hunting, he does not approve of
the method in use at the usual Hof-
jagd of having the game wardens
drive the animals past and then shoot
ing at random; he prefers to roam
the woods, gun in hand, taking his
chances He is described as having
been during his recent Austria tour
affable but taciturn.
"A writer in the Frankfurter Zeitung
asserts that Nine. Janauschek did not,
as is almost universally believed, serve
as model for the famous picture on
the Frankfurt thaler. The mint war
den, August Won Nordheim, always
declared that the portrait was a pure
creation of his imagination. He often
spoke of the irrepressible Tanauschek
legend and said that besides that &C
tress thirteen other women had been
mentioned as having been the originals
of the picture in question.

When Charles NJ. Schwab, who is
now in so much trouble, was manager
of the Carnegie Steel Works he was
the idol of his men, says the New
York Press. One day as he was show
ing a party of eminent foreigners
through the mills and furnaces a Ger
man nobleman of great wealth dis
played unusual interest in the 125-ton
steam hammer. He had never seen
anything larger than the Seton one
at Krupp's works in Essen. Schwab
spoke in high praise of the workman
who operated the monster, and the
usual invitation was eXtended-"Place
your hand on the anvil, and Greene
will stop the hammer within hairs
breadth of it, mot my hand, but,
with pleasure, my watch said the
German, placing a splendid jeweled
timepiece on the anvil. Down came
the immense mass of steel, and Greene,
his hand on the lever, stopped it a
hundredth part of an inch from the
crystal.
When he went to hand the watch
back the nobleman said: mo, Mr..
Greene, 1 want you to keep it as a
memorial of an interesting occasion. -
Greene was too much embarrassed to
say a word, but stood there with his
hand outstretched till Schwab stepped
forward and took the watch saying,
Never mind, Greene, I'll keep it for
you if you're afraid to take it from
the Count" A few minutes later the
party again passed the spot, and
Schwab summoning Greene, said:
Now you can take the Counts present
from my own hand" and presented
to the mechanic the watch wrapped I'D
in one hundred-dollar note.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

The desirability of eliminating pro-
fessionalism from college athletics IS
recognized on all hands: and at the
same time it is as gene lily recognized
that practically every athletic team
connected with any college of impor-
lance is strongly tinged with profess
sionalism. Players may not receive
direct salaries and bonuses, but they
do receive valuable considerations, Oft
en- in money. Cases have been known
in which men remained in college seven
or eight years for no other reason
than that they were fine athletes and
successful football and baseball players
and the college teams had need of them.
And such players have concluded each
college term with far more money than
they began the term with. Prof.
Stearnes of Phillips Academy, Andover,
whom we quoted day or two ago, as
serts that professionalism in college
athletics is demoralizing: that 1t re-
suits in a resort to low and contempt
ible tricks to evade the rules: that it
undermines the high code of morals
llldI ought W 5ONGlIl SeHliSIilGH III
friendly contests among themselves.
The fundamental idea of college ath-
letics is the development of sound
bodies in the students. and whatever
goes beyond that is a perversion of
| their legitimate purpose. The making
of profits from the games is q consid-
GRAFTON that should never be enter
tanned. And yet it has come to be a
| leading feature in many OF the games
President Harper of the University
Of Chicago believes the charging of an
entrance fee at the gates is the tap
root of the evil of professionalism In
| college sports. So sure is he OF this
! that he proposes to abolish admission
fees and have the college teams sup
| ported from endowments or from the
college funds. The University of Chi
cago is a rich institution and has Il
number of rich friends that can be de-
pended upon to furnish the money TO
carry out about any plan suggested by
President Harper. Some few others of
the big colleges are probably in a po-
sition to adopt President Harper's plan
But the teams of the smaller colleges
would find themselves seriously handi-
capped if gate receipts were abolished.
1t costs money to put football or
baseball team into the field and main
tain it. Many of the college boys, and
usually a large percentage of the best
players, are of means so limited that
they could not afford to paw their ex-
penses out of their own pockets. To
shut them off from about their only
source of revenue would be almost
equivalent to putting the ban of pro-
hibition upon the games.

A Labor Question

One of the most pronounced of the
hobbies of Prof. r.. of - University,
was the digestive and assimilative
properties of various foodstuffs, says
an exchange. He always gladly en-
braced an opportunity to inculcate
some one of the lessons he had learned
by dint of experiment, analysis and re-
search.
On one occasion the professor was
out for a walk, and his way led him
past a farm house. He observed the
farmer feeding corn to a drove OF
sqealing porkers. Here was an OPP
portunity to impart a bit of valuable
information.
What are you feeding to those
hogs, my friend?" the professor asked
Corn, professor" the grlzzled
old farmer, who knew the learned gen
tleman by sight, replied.
Are you feeding it wet or dry"
DRY"
Don't you know if you feed 1t wet
the hogs can digest it in one-half the
timer"
The farmer gave him a quizzical look
"Now, see here, professor" he said,
chow much do you calculate a hogs
time is WOrth?"

PARKS CONVICTION.

Very few union men regret the con-
viction in New York on Friday of Sam
uel j. Parks, the walking delegate of
the Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
Union, who was charged with extor-
ton. The evidence showed him to be
a thoroughly dishonest man. He dom
mated the union of which he was the
walking delegate almost as completely
as il he were it's master. That, OF
course, was because he was trusted.
His conviction will open the eyes of
union workmen to the fact that many
of their troubles are due to the dis
honesty or inefficiency of the men they
place in positions of profit and trust.
AS matter of fact, the unions are
not as careful as they should be in
selecting men to manage their affairs.
1t is too often the case that the walk
ing delegate is a man of no judgment,
and if he isn't guilty of using his po-
sition to fill his pockets he acts upon
the idea that there should be no SYM
pathy between employer and employee,
and that it is legitimate for the en-
ploye to get out of the employer all
he can without regard to whether the
employers business will be ruined or
not.
This man Parks did not care in the
least for the interests of the union
which trusted and paid him. His sole
object, as appeared from the testimony,
was to make what money he could
out of his position. And it is not i'm
probable that there are other labor
leaders who are doing about the same
thing. In the case in which he was
convicted, it was shown that when he
got the $500 he demanded for permit
ting work to be continued on the con-
tracts of the firm which paid him the
money, he permitted non-union men
to be employed by that firm.
If all the labor leaders We're men of
the stamp of the late Mr.. Arthur chief
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, there would be comparatively
few strikes and lockouts. 1t was his
policy to be as near just as he could.
He took into consideration the inter-
ests of employer as we'll as employee.
He wouldn't permit a strike if he did
not think the demands of the order
under his control were just. On the
other hand. he was very firm in in
sisting upon the demand of the engi-
neers when he believed they were right
The consequence was it was seldom
there was a strike of the locomotive
| engineers. For the good of union la
Dor there are too many men inefficient
or dishonest men in positions of profit
and power in labor unions. The con-
viction of Parks will doubtless cause
the unions to scrutinize more closely
the men they select for their chiefs
and walking delegates.

He PLAYED the Pipe.

Forbes Robertson, the English actor
who recently made his American debut
in 1.-The Light That Failed" tells Of
one occasion when he was playing
Hamlet in Birmingham, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean. MY support was
good" said the actor, but one of the
company, a man who took the part
of Guildenstern, had been drinking too
heavily for a week, and on the night
that / am speaking of, his nervous
ness, his queerness, amounted almost
to an alteration of the intellect.
Il hated to go on with him, but the
beginning of the tragedy confess that
he did well enough. Then came the
pipe scene. I extended the pipe to
Guildenstern, and said:
"Will you play upon this pipe?'
'IIe answered, very properly: My
lord, cannot
Il said; I pray you
And then, to my horror, Guilden-
stern took the pipe from my hand.
Well, my boy, since you insist he
said, I will, but 1 warn you I'm a
poor hand

Save the Queen before we got him off

Getting ut the Facts.

The street car company had been
sued for damages in a personal injury
case, and the president of the CORPORA
ton was on the witness stand, says the
Chicago Tribune.
Nov, SIR" said the attorney for the
laintiff, in cross-examining, "in order
to determine just how far you consider
your company liable for damages In
any action of this kind, let me ask you
do you aim to run your road to please
yourselves or to please the public?"
Hold on" exclaimed the attorney
for the defense. You needn't answer
that. object to the question, your
honor"
Estate your objections" said the
judge.
The lawyer rose.
1--WE object. if the court please on
the ground that it is immaterial, irrel-
evant, entirely aside from the point
at issue, foreign to the matter in hand,
and has nothing to do with this case
We object, your honor, because it has
no possible bearing on this action.
What difference can it make, one way
or the other? 1t is purely an academic
question. 1t is a point that was not
brought out in the direct examination.
Aside from all this. your honor, we
object for the reason that the question
is not pertinent. 1t is wholly extra
neous."
Here he sat down, and the other at
torney rose.
1--WE insist, your honor" he said.
that the question is entirely relevant.
1t is a part of the res gestae in this
case. We want to know, your honor.
whether this man thinks he owes any
duty TO the public, or whether he owes
no duty to anybody but himself and
the stockholders of the road. We
have right to establish the fact If he
holds the one opinion. and We have a
right to establish the fact If he holds
the contrary opinion"
You may answer the question:" said
the court.
Now, then, sir, will ask you again:
Do you run your road to please your
selves or to please the public?"
I'VE don't run the road at all, sir :"
replied the witness, YEARLY. I'VE run
the cars"

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Charleston Post (Dem) says:
"a national representative of the build
ers' union has come all the way from
ST. Louis to Charleston to discover for
the Charleston strikers that they were
very foolish to quit work and had bet
ter get back to their jobs if they can.
That has been known in Charleston
so long it has been almost forgotten
But it does not take a labor official
long to learn when his people have
the short end of the stick"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: THE Republicans are
quite willing to claim credit for every
element of prosperity that develops
While they are in power. They even
claim that they ought to be applaud
ed for the good crops. But when ad-
versity comes they insist that retrench-
ment is the mark of a depraved heart
and inspired by a failure to recog-
nize the infalibility and impeccability
of the Republican candidate for the
presidency"
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: I'VE know of no question more
difficult to pass upon with confidence
than this question of deciding between
the TWO is thm1an routes. The COun-
try wants a canal, but it doesn't want
to build it through Nicaragua and
Costa Rica If the other route is best,
nor does the public approve Of letting
Colombia bleed this government un-
duly. Though we do not pretend to
know which of the two routes is the
better, from an engineering point of
view, it looks to us as if the game has
been bluffe1 to a standStill for the
present"
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: 1.-THE
recent advance in the price of oil will,
it is stated, add about 81, 100000 a year
to the income of Mr.. John d. Rookie
Teller. In the early part of this month,
before the Standard OIL Company had
raised the price of its product, Mr.
Rockefeller took one of his Cleveland
friends into his confidence and told
him that the personal comfort religion
has been to me has been such that
sometimes feel that I would like to
go upon the lecture platform and tell
the people about it, Now that the
Oil Kings piety has been rewarded
by an $11, 000,0 600 increase in his income,
it will probably be impossible for him
to keep off the lecture platform. 1t
may not be impious to suggest, how
ever, that the personal comforts which
his religion brings to him tend to shake
the faith of great many people whose
piety is not fortified by Standard Oil
stocks"
