A COLLEGE ATHLETE.

In the great intercollegiate baseball
match between Harvard and George
town on Saturday last, on the 1atter's
campus, one of the most brilliant
players was Harvard's shortstop, Mr..
Matthews, who contributed largely to
he victory obtained by the New Eng
and boys. Mr.. Matthews is, colored,
and at the commencement of the game
some local hOodlums started to make
1t unpleasant for him, even the capt.
of Georgetown would not play because
of his presence on the Harvard team.
1t did not take Mr. Matthew's long
to show the stuff in him, and then he
became prime favorite The Posts
sporting editor made a very fair re-
port of the game, and was quite just
to Mr.. Matthews, who in addition to
his work in the athletic field is an
all round good fellow, and a brilliant
student.

of the game and just played ball." in

The farmers of Kansas are greatly
in need of help to harvest their crops.
SO desperate are they becoming that,
according to a press report, they are
drafting passengers off the trains
passing through the state. Some of
the young men of the eastern states
seeking adventure are hiking thither
to work off some of their supertluous
spirits in the harvest fields. The 9th
er day - young men, all Bostonians,
students of Harvard and sons of
wealthy parents. arrived in Kansas
City and sought the free labor bu-
reau and applied for positions in the
wheat fields of Kansas. They were
roughly dressed and stated that they
had come west to see life. They had
beaten their way on freight trains
and had been put off once or twice,
but usually the trainmen let them
ride on condition that they help load
coal. They are now regularly enroll
ed in the harvest field and are living
on bacon and corn bread and earning
their living. They refused TO give
their identity, but stated that they
were putting in their vacation in this
way in order to rough it and see what
the west Is like.

has fallen fiat. The Chronicle de-
clares that while Deneen has only a
salary of $1,000 year as states at
torney. he has become a millionaire.
Commenting upon this, the Peoria
Star says: THE law regulating our
dealing with criminals is extremely
vicious and productive of the gravest
abuses. The evil is manifest
and yet we have never been able to
devise a system that will protect the
community from them. On the con-
trary, the malady grows worse and
worse. Our whole criminal procedure
ought to be overhauled and the fee
system obliterated from the pay of
the states attorney. He ought to get
salary, and that should settle it. and
the idea that the school fund is to be
helped by an assessment on crime
should be abolished"
