the Members to That of Average Pops
 uiation-Pubiic Schools Better Than
 Private-Footbail Conducted With Least Intelligence and Success Than
 Any O.her Game.
 Cambridge, Mass, Feb 1.-The an- nual report of President Charles w.
 Eliot, of Harvard university, which
 was submitted to-day to the board of
 ters of interest. Referring to the small
 number of deaths among the students
 during the year-three among 6S2 mem
 bers of the governing board and ten
 among 4,261 tudents-President Eliot
 attributes it to the fact that the mem
 bers of the university are more intelli-
 gent than the average population, talk
 ing advantage of all existing medical skill and living under more wholesome conditions than those of people at large
 From Dean Hurlbut's report Presi- dent Eliot cites several tables which show that of all the school swhich pre-
 pare students for Harvard the public schools are the best. Out of the 172 linen who took the degree of B. A. with
 distinction last year eighty-four came from public schools, as compared with forty-four from academies and thirty two from private schools.
 On athletics President Eliot writes:. '.The game which has been conducted at Cambridge with the least intelli-
 gence and success is ootball-except from a pecuniary point of view. The
 breaking up of college work for the in
 dividual student by frequent absences to play games at distance from Cam
 bridge is an evil which ought to be
 checked. It is a greater evil than for
 merly, now that intercollegiate games take place the year round"
 The president pays a tribute to Pro- lessor Ira N Hollis, who retired re- gently as chairman of the committee on athletics as a man who "has made
 many sacrifices and has earned the gratitude of those who believe that
 American youth ought to have the op- portunity of enjoying a great variety of athletic sports, reasonably and hon. orably conducted.
 Speaking of the need of a, new libra- ry building, President Eliot suggests the erection of a building capable of storing one million volumes, and the keeping of the stock of books on hand down to that figure.
 l From the standpoint of the university the most important subject discussed | is that of the university, college and 1 library account. After mentioning a number of items that have led to the deficit President Eliot says:
 | Tt is the universal increase in the comforts of living which has caused the college to enlarge its expenditures. !" l To avoid deficits invariably would
 mean to aim deliberately at an actual 1 surplus This cautious policy, which Is appropriate to an industrial or com mercial establishment, the president
 and fellows think not to be the best in an educational and charitable institu-
 ton. Accordingly, they believe that I the university should be conducted as
 a growing, changing and expanding or
 ganization, losing here, but gaining
 there, and always turning out from year to year the largest possible pro- 6uct of well-trained young men for the largest possible variety of intellectual work.

FOOTBALL LYRICS.
THE FOOTBALL SEASON.

Football season now is on,
And the men of grit and Drawn
Line up in their fierce attire,
All intent on doings dire.
Rival rooters gather round,
Making most discordant sound
That is merged in one wild blast
AS the pigskin ball is passed.
Husky fellow breaks away,
Putting ali his strength in play;
Other. husky fellows fall
Here and there or stand like wall.
They against each other dash,
Caring not whose bones they smash;
Runner gets an awful bump,
And all others on him jump.
Hair is flying through the air,
Teeth are scattered here and there;
There are broken legs and arms,
And lot of other harms.
Those uninjured by the crush
Line up for another rush;
Often on the ground they roll
Till at last some reach the goal g.
Ambulances on the run,
Busy till the game is done,
Bear off each unfortunate
To the place where doctors wait
Plasters, bandages, and splints
Are applied while victims vince;
Some for weeks will suffer pain,
Some have need of crutch and cane,
But the rooters wildly root,
All the tin-horn tooters toot;
And the merry maidens smile
At the players in a pile.
No ones cares for broken bones,
No one cares for victims groans;
So, We men of grit and Drawn,
Push the football season on.

MATTRESSES

When the business of J.
Hopp & Co., furniture dealers
and upholsterers, was establish
ed about twenty-seven years
ago one of the first articles de-
livered by the concern was a
mattress. The firm is still max
ing mattresses and during the
past few weeks has moved this
department of its business into
clean, airy and fireproof work
rooms-and old employees are
still making the mattresses.
Two of our mattress makers
have been making mattresses
for us for over twenty years
with the result that their ex-
perience in making ones that
will last has become very val
liable.
We make two grades of
hair mattresses, two kinds of
floss mattresses, moss, excel
sior, straw, and have them in
stock and can make them so
that they will fit any bed.
Sometime ago we imported
the Patent Ostermoor Elastic
Felt Mattress. Over half of the
entire ---ipment has been sold
and all who have purchased
them are well satisfied.
Look over your mattresses.
If you need new ones we will
be pleased to figure with you.

nounced President Roosevelt for his
refusal to permit the return OF the

flag and recognized the results Of the
war between the States, and that
some OF them and thousands OF their
sons, have fought under it's folds
during the last six years, the rssolu-
ton concludes:
"The action Of Mr.. Roosevelt, the
President OF united and patriotic
Republic, whose heart should throb
in lofty and generous unison with the
pathetic and consecrated sentiment
of southern men and women, bis curt
and ungracious act in refusing to
restore that old flag Of the Georgia
regiment, is one that may not be for
gotten or forgiven, and Camp Ster-
ling Price here enters its solemn and
sorrowful protest against this I'M
necessary and gratuitous anront
administered by the president to the
south"
