But it is in the matter of freight ca
pacity that the "SaXonia' excels near

tic service, her accommodations pro-
viding for the enormous amount of
5000 tons, which represents about 400
ordinary railway carloads. This ap.

members her great length and width;
her hold is simply a big floating ware
house some 600 by 81 feet, having
three decks or floors upon which
freight can be stored and transported.
The engine room occupies part of this
space, but the remainder is devoted
entirely to freight transportation. The
cargo on her present trip consists OF
J 5000 barrels of apples, and hundred S
of tons of lard, bacon, cheese, dressed
beef, wheat. and other articles of COM

$50 tons Of coal day, and sixty

Baseball.

The University of Minnesota is
anxious to enter a team in the re-
lay carnival to be held by the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania on Franklin
Field April 25. These games have
become so attractive that nearly all
of the leading colleges OF the West
will be represented.
Because of the unexpected termin-
alton Of the Harvard Yale relay race
at Boston last week, these two teams
have been invited to settle the Ques-
tion of their superiority by compet-
ing in the games of Columbia Uni
versity on February 2S. 1t is expect
ed that they will accept the invita-
tion.
The epidemic of typhoid fever
which is raging among the students

that with so many of their men in

THE WORLD
Of SPORT
Why Camden Wins.

The fast game that the Camden Ma
tional League basketball team is put
ting up is due to their fashion of play
ing the ball " Deal, Freat, keenan,, Bos-
sert and Thomas are all expert expo
nents of this style OF play, as well as
being accurate shooters, and with
such guards they are not afraid to- let
themselves out That is why Camden
stands the best chance for the pen
nant The speed of the Electrics has
attracted the attention of the critics.
The Jerseymen are so nicely balanced
that the disabling Of amy one man
would not seriously cripple it, as is the
case with several of the National
League teams. With only seven play
ers several combinations can be made,
each one capable of putting ulp as
strong a game as any either
It may yet be finish fight between
Camden and Wilmington, as these two
teams seem to be in the best of condi-
tion, not having been weakened by
transforming trips, and both are win
ming their games with great regularity.
Such an ending of the league season
would be most interesting.
Burlington will try to stop Camden's
winning streak tomorrow night at the
Camden basketball hall Burlington
will need its best line-up and prettiest
work to be successful, as the game
Camden is putting up seems to get fast.

Frysinger's Harrisburg Team.

Manager Jesse M. Frysinger, of the
Harrisburg Athletic Club baseball
team, has announced the following as
the official lineup of his team for
the coming season: Agnew, catcher;
McGylnn, Blough. Waller, pitchers;
Deal, first base; Lord. second base;
Cassidy, shortstop; McCabe, third base;
Tate, left field; Hartley. centre field !;
BRAY, right field.
Mr.. Frysinger said that these men
were the only men he will carry this
season, and that he would possibly
drop one of them when the season
starts No extra catcher will be sign
ed, as Agnew will catch all the games
until injured, when Tate, who is an
excellent man behind the bat, will go
in and pitcher will be placed in the
left field. Mr.. Frysinger will probably
sign Everson for a pitcher, but as yet
has been unable to have any communi-
cation with him.

EST MERIT.

The modest hen isn't pointing with
 pride to her distinguished ancestors.
 She isn't calling herself a Dame or
 Daughter of this or that. She isn't
 strutting, waddling or wabbling around
 to show her decorations. She isn't
 holding conventions and presiding over
 or participating in them with grace and
 dignity She isn't reading papers" She isn't clamoring for her rights. She
 does, it is true, make pretty little fuss now and then, but that is always after and not before she has laid her
 egg, and is merely notification to a
 careless world that duty has been gen.
 erously done and that another strictly fresh egg is waiting for it.
 It is decidedly in keeping with the character and habit of the modest meritorious hen that in these times of labor agitation she isn't agitated or agitating. She hasn't even formed a
 union and she thinks not of striking. Noble and benevolent creature that she is, while almost everybody has been do- ing more talk than work she has been steadily and quietly doing her best to make up for the deficiencies of others. She has been in the habit of giving this country about sixty-seven and a
 half billion eggs each year, but this year she will, it is expected, donate
 nearly one hundred billions, thus do- ing her best to alleviate a distressing situation and make it possible for
 people to continue to live in this land
 of high prices and high iinks.
 Honor to the humble, helpful hen! She deserves a tablet in the Hall of
 Fame. Of course she wont get it, but
 she will have the respect of all who
 know that good honest work is better 1 than bluffing, and that strictly fresh egg is better than a spurious Revolu- tionary ancestor.

ONE OF THE LATEST "CUREs.,,

In spite of all the "cures' that are discovered people continue to die, but as long as hope lasts so long will new "cures" be interesting and attractive One of the latest is the molasses cure for cancer. Dr. Henzell, the medical officer of the Maikay hospital in Queensland, Australia, who declares that cancer can be cured by the use of molasses, has cabled certain details of the treatment to Europe. In this mes- sage he says that the molasses must
 be taken by the patient on an empty stomach four times daily; and must be mixed in milk and water only. The dose should begin with one drachm of the fluid, and be gradually increased to two ounces. 1t is essential that the patient under treatment should entire ly abstain from alcohol during treat ment, and that he should observe strict
 diet in order to avoid vomiting and diarrhoea. It is always best, he says, that the cure should be applied as
 soon as possible when cancer is known to exist. The molasses to be given must be pure sugar cane, and not re- fined in any way. It matters little whether the molasses is quite fresh, so long as it is from sugar cane, pure and unrefined. Such molasses produced from any kind of sugar cane will do, but the thick, dark-colored kind is preferable and more efficient. The Middlesex and Brompton cancer hospi- tals in London are to try the new cure
 immediately. Both institutions have
 secured casks of pure Louisiana mo- lasses, and are eagerly awaiting fuller
 instructions by letter from Dr. Henzell.
 Molasses is plenty and cheap and not
 bad to take. The new cure can be cas- fly tried and if it should happen to 1 be what its disooverer says it is it | would be boon. But there have been | many "cures."

SOME REAL HELP FOR 1RELAxD.

Ireland is having good luck nowa- days, and as she has had much bad luck the change is very pleasing to all who love her. One of the good things that have lately been done for her is the organization in New York of the Irish Industrial League of America. The objects Of the league are to aid in the promotion, by voluntary pecuniary aid or otherwise, of industrial, commercial. agricultural, technical and artistic pur- suits in Ireland; to promote and develop the economic and material resources of Ireland: to aid and promote the devel- opment of agricultural and technical instruction in Ireland and in general to aid in the development and advance ment of the material resources and the common industrial interests of Ireland; to acquire, improve or develop and oth- erwise deal in all property. real and per sonal, in the City of New York or else where. for the purpose of carrying out the benevolent objects of the said cor poration.
 | The new society will cooperate with a similar association which has for some time been doing excellent work on the other side of the ocean. Success to it. It is much more comfortable and com forting organization for the benefit of Ireland than some that have fiourished in this country.

day the teacher announced that we would have a distinguished Latin schoI- ar with us that day, and he wanted us to be particularly proficient. We im- mediately got busy with the pony. and learned the entire lesson by heart, so that we could translate it, if necessary, without even glancing at the book. When class time arrived We were ush- cred into the presence of the guest, middle aged man of genial countenance. The boys were called upon, one after the other, to translate, and they reeled off the interpretation in way which made our teacher smile with joy. The guest, however, was soon seen to be smiling broadly and he finally broke in- to laugh. Our teacher, who was slow in perceiving joke. thought he had missed something good, and, not to be left behind, also laughed, and we joined in the merriment without knowing what was the matter.
 Finally, the teacher addressed the gentleman as MT. Stollenberg, and then we knew what was the matter, although our teacher still remained in the dark. Our guest was the author of the pony and, as we afterwards found out, he recognized our translation as being literal from his work, while it did not really coincide with the modern version of Virgil, which was being used by us. When our preceptor stepped from the room a moment, he made a, short ad- dress in which he told us that we were foolish to use the pony so recklessly, and added that he had been tempted to disclose his discovery, but, inasmueh as he had been through it himself, he would not do so.
 ''The teacher never found out what the joke was, and in token of our ap- preciation we made up list and fully 50 boys in the school ordered ponies from MT. Stollenberg's publisher and informed him that we had done this. Later we received pleasant letter in which he advised us to do more study ing and less memorizing, but when we answered that we still desired to have his valuable book and had ordered it, he responded that he had cancelled the order and took great pleasure in for warding the entire lot to us for noth- ing.

The Black Smoke Nu,saneo.
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Is it not high time for the inhabitants
 of this beautiful city to wake up to the
 realization of the fact that the black
 smoke from our factories and locomo-
 tives will soon rob us of half of our
 city's charms? Those who have lived
 in any of our western cities or In Eng land know something of the discomforts of living where clothes and householf ef- fleets are so quickly ruined by the use of bituminous coal It is true that the
 soft coal is less expensive than the hard
 coal, but is 1t right that the few owners
 of our manufacturing establishments,
 in order to make larger dividends. should bring discomfort upon more than hundred thousand people? There are many devices for consuming smoke,
 more or less complicated and more or
 less expensive, but for the benefit of the many and the beauty and cleanliness of our city should not the few be willing to bear the expense?
 The cost of renewing clothing, paper and pant n our houses ruined by smoke is far larger than one would imagine. 1 The added discomfort of grimy hands and soiled linen is an intolerable vex-
 ation of spirit. Already New York and
 Boston have laws for enforcing the use of smoke consumers and Chicago for more than year has taken up the mat ter with the usual vigor of that enter prising city.
 Ought New Haven longer neglect SC serious matter? A. S. r.

alton exercises because three negroes. who had been able to hold their own in the studies pursued by the class, were permitted to take part. In order to prevent open trouble the teachers ar- ranged so that the graduates should be seated in front of the platform with their backs to the audience instead of being seated on the stage. Thus the presence of the three colored pupils was not made conspicuous, and the pride of the white students was not un- necessarily wounded. While a fair de- gree of peace was maintained so far as the official exercises of the school were concerned but one member of the grad uating class attended the dinner given in honor of the class by the alumni as- sociation. The association invited the entire class to be present. That offend ed the white members of the class, and they, with the exception of the class president, decided not to attend, and the colored. members of the class, of- tended by the antipathy shown toward them, remained away.

"When I was boy back in New York I was attending school at one of the cad- emies not far from Buffalo," said Frank Howan at the Kirby house yes- terday, and we were going through Virgil under the instruction of an es- timable old gentleman who had some reputation for a scholar, although he was so wrapt in his studies that he was not strict disciplinarian. AS a. result, it became a fashion for every boy in the class to prepare his lessons by means of the famous pony which has proved the blessing, and. in some cases, the curse, of so many students. One
