 Senator Scott of West virginia call ed on Chairman CortelY Il today and told him of his fears tlat his col league and his colleagues father-in- law will turn that Stite over to the Democrats this fall. and thereby in- volve his (Scott's) retirement from the Senate at the end of his present term. of view. The rich corporations. many of which are usxng his money, are dis satisfied with the nomination of w. NJ. O. Dawson for Governor: Scott him backed by both the Pennsylvania and the B. and O. railroads. Dawson has radical ideas about taxation. and, therefore, Scott would naturally be op posed to his election. but he dare not follow his inclfations. lest thereby he make certain the election of Demo cratic Legislature. But he has a very well defined notion that Senator Elkins is preparing to knife not only Dawson but also the legislative ticket, thereby assuring two things that are pleasing fussy MT Scott and the casting of the Henry G. Davis, for Vice. President, The fact that the votes will also he cast against President Roosevelt will not make Elkins feel bad-a fact which CortelYou knows as well as Scott,

Consul at Bremen Declares American Educational Institutions Are Bet

SOnSuI aI bremen DeCAAIeS
 Educational Institutions Are Bet
 ter Than German.
 Special to New York World.
 That the practice of Americans seek ing education abroad Is barely hold ing its own because of the increasing excellence of American colleges is the conclusion drawn from statistics show ing American attendance at German colleges, submitted to the State Depart ment by United States Consul Diede- rich. at Bremen, Germany.
 MT. Diederich says that the number of foreign students, especially of those coming from Russia, has steadily grown, but a careful study of the at tendance at the German universities | seems to show that Americans have not been adding to this increase. There were only seven more Ameri- cans enrolled last winter than there were four years ago-317 in all. During the nineteenth century Ger man universities led the world in cru 1 dition and scientific invest; ;gation and their great professors attracted many students from all parts of the world in quest of higher education" says MT. Diederich. But time are altered" Having myself been engaged in ed ucational work as an American college professor for a good part of my man. hood, have naturally taken consid- ereable interest in the life and work at the various institutions of learn ing In this country. and 1t is my i'm pression that the facilities for higher education are improving in the Uni- ted States much more rapidly than In Germany despite all out imperfec- tions, one cannot but admire the great upward strides which the American system of education, from the humble district school up, has been making during the last few decades
 American educational institutions are the best equipped in the world. I Know but one German university that can claim to be up to the times in this regard and 1t stands third in the list or attendance. There is steady pro- gress all along the line of public in struction In the United States and par tlcularly in our higher class of univer- sities."

A QUEER STORY.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer has an account of an old negro living at Akron, who claims to be 1OS years old, and who says that he formerly be- longed to Nathanial Pride, in this State and went to Akron about forty years ago. Then the account continues:
 When MT. Mitchell was just lad upon the old plantation he well re- members the trip of George Washing ton through the South, and how his master expected that the General would pay visit to his plantation when he came that way.
 A big dinner was to be spread, and in the preparation of this dinner Frank Mitchell assisted. One of the tooth some morsels consisted of chicken pie, upon which the lad looked with wistful eye.
 But George Washington passed over another route, and the visit to the plan tation was not made. Mitchell, there fore, had the pleasure of eating q piece of chicken pie which had been prepared for the great General
 The old fellow has evidently gotten things mixed. Washington died nearly 105 years ago, and if he ever contem- plated a trip through this region, it could not have been less than 106 years ago, probably more. If the, old man is correct about his age. he was q baby at the time of the proposed visit, and how child one or two years old could assist In preparing q dinner is not ap- parent. He must nave been an exceed ingly precocious Tad" to say the least of 1t. He would, at his age. have beer in his mothers arms instead of help ing to cook dinner and standing rount yearning for chicken pie. Besides, al tho date of the proposed visit what |. now the State of Alabama was princL of no reason why Washington shoult have wanted to visit it. even If he hat made a tour of the Southern States The story is badly constructed.

There is a good deal of curiosity as to the origin of the name of the town "Esopus," near which Judge Parker lives. Many people naturally guess at a classic derivation, thinking ot "Aesop,' who wrote the fables. The New York Press. however. explains that the name is an Indian one.-Nor- folk Landmark.
 One authority derives the name from the Algonquin, or Delaware. word. Seepu, meaning "a river;" but we are doubtful if that is correct. In the an cient kingdom of Pontus, in Asia Minor, there was a river Esopus, and we sus- pcct that the New York town thus had its name. just as many other places in thls country have Greek or Latin names. To form the name from the h. dian word above given is rather far fetched. and we think it much more likely that 1t came from the old world river.
