Brutality in Football.

Washington.-At reception given
in his honor by the alumni of the
Georgetown University, Rev. David
Hillhouse Buell., the new president Of
the university, reiterated his state
ments condenining brutality in foot
ball, and the prevalence of profession
alism in many of the best known insti-
tutions of learning in the country.
Prof. Buell. who was introduced by
Justice White, of the Supreme Court
of the United States, said that it was
unfortunate that the public too often
judges of the strength of a college by
its strength in the line of athletics
and that he wished to state his posi-
ton regarding the new regulations
now in force at Georgetown. He de-
plored the practice of employing men
to uphold the standing of any college
in sport. He said Georgetown in its
fight for the publication of athletics
was setting an example before the
schools of the whole country.

Fancy Prices.

Planters in the Mississippi Delta
who grow long staple cotton are thor
oughly satisfied with the results of
the season and have no complaint to
make concerning the prices received
for their crop. Several large sales of
long staple cotton have been reported
during the past few days at which
fancy prices were obtained One va
zoo county planter sold 800 bales of
long staple at 1925 cents per pound,
the deal netting over $4,000, or an
average of more than $50 per bale.
Long staple cotton has varied from
IA to Is cents per pound, and one ex-
ira fancy lot in Sunfower county
brought 10 cents per pound. The
yield is rather short, but prices are
much better than those prevailing last
year for this variety of cotton.

All-Year Hotel Site.

AS it is now fact that passengers
steamers will, next summer, make reg
ular trips between the coast and Ship
Island, which will be made atttrac-
tive to pleasure seekers, the attention
of moneyed men has been diverted to
Round Island, three miles south Of the
mouth of Pascagoula river, as an ideal
spot for hotel, to be open TO tourists
winter and summer. The natural ad-
vantages of Round Island, which in
clude shelter from gulf storms and
surf bathing, have made the proposed
hotel certainty. Now that the coast
has been promised by the Louisville
and Nashville railroad an increased
summer service from Bay st. Louis to
Scranton, steamboats, will render
Round and Ship Islands of easy ac-
cess and pleasant points for summer
outings.

Bleacher Stand Ccllapses.

Ann Arbor, Mich.-W Weakened by
the cheering and stamping in unison
of 1000 people, the west bleacher on
Ferry field collapsed ten minutes after
the second half of the football game
between Michigan and Wisconsin had
begun. Almost miraculously none of
the throng, who were precipitated to
the ground, were seriously injured.
The bleacher had no seats, being mere
ly series of terraced platforms, run
ming up to a height of about II feet
on which the people stood. This fact
is believed to be responsible for the
lack of serious injuries as if the g.
900 had been sitting many limbs would
have been broken. Less than dozen
Of the occupants of the crowded stand
were hurt enough to hnve physician
