PRESIDENT AND LAUNDRESS
Visit of Colored Washerwoman of
College Days to Mr.. Roosevelt.

visit OF CO{Ored WasherWOman OF
College Days to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Thousands of persons who were gath
cred about Bishop Lawrence's resi-
dence in Cambridge, Mass, the other
day cheered while President Roosevelt
and Mrs. Mary Taylor, his colored
washerwoman in student days, clasped
hands and talked, says Boston spe-
cial dispatch to the New York Times.
Mrs. Taylor had not seen the presi-
dent since his graduation twenty-five
years ago.
II heard he was in Cambridge" she
said, 'and l says to myself, We'll,
guess I'll take run up to the Law
renee House and try and see him a
minute, for he once said that ] took
care Of his laundry better than any
one else, and, as l understand that his
son Theodore junior is soon coming to
college, 1 thought l would get in an
early word, and perhaps l might get
his work to do
when l started to go into the
grounds the policeman wanted to know
what 1 wanted. l suppose they thought
/ was one Of those anarchists, but when
I told them who 1 was one of them
went to the house, and in a minute the
president himself came right out and
shook hands with me. He said he was
real glad to see me.
'.He's grown fat, but he stills got
that old laugh and grin. He talked
with me quite few minutes and asked
me lot Of questions about the old col
lege days, but can't think to save me
all the things he said All 1 remember
is that forgot to ask him the question
that i went purpOsely to ask
"Why, l talked with him every sin
gle week while he was In college, and
I guess I've got as much right to speak
to him as anybody else"

Swimming Time.

The river calls; The river calls!
The urch' l, freed from school,
Forsalkes tie place Of learnings halls
And SEEK the dusky pool,
Where far beneath the sunfish lies
In waters calm and clear,
Ger which proclaim the dragon flies
That swimming time is here
The river calls; The river calls!
The lawyer In the town
Forgets the client for whom he bawls
The woolsaclz and the gown;
The merchant lays his ledgers by
And lends a willing ear
To all the unseen sprites that cry
That swimming time is here
The river calls; The river callsi
The careworn millionaire
Observes his mansions lofty walls
Dissolve beneath his stare,
Whilst visions come of boyhood days
The mill ace and the weir
With summer calling through the haze
That swimming time is here.

method is to feel under the roots of
trees overhanging the water, under old
logs, rock heaps, etc., until Mr.. Fish
Is located, when it is comparatively
easy matter to run ones hand into his

AN EDUCATIONAL MOVE.
PreceptOrial System to Make Col
leEes Interesting.


leges Interesting.
The object Of the preceptorial sys-
TEN adopted at Princeton university is
to prevent the disintegration Of the
university. it's disintegration in that
essential feature of all vital teaching,
the intimate acquaintance and contact
of pupil and teacher, says Woodrow
Wilson, president of Princeton univer-
sity, in Harper's Weekly. Mere in
crease Of numbers separates them. AS
q university grows in numbers profess
ors and students draw apart, have
hardly a speaking acquaintance with
one another.
The large university, teeming with
hundreds of growing youngsters, ought
not to forego this fruitful process of
cOmradeship if it can possibly get the
advantage Of it by any feasible ar
rangement.
1t is Princeton's plan, with this OBJ
ject in view, to add at once to her
teaching force, to add fifty ''precept-
ors," as she will call them for want Of
better name, whose special duty it
shall be to deal with their pupils out
side of the classroom. The preceptOrS
are to be members of the faculty, not
distingulshable from the rest in rank
and privilege, and the present men,
bers Of the faculty are to undertake
preceptorial work in order that the
new and closer contact may be
brought about all along the line, but
for the new men the preceptorial work
will be the chief function. 1t will be
their duty to take the students in the
several departments, either singly or
in groups. and by every serviceable
method give them counsel, guidance
and stimulation in their work.
Dull men and very bright and am
bilious men they will probably have to
take singly. Groups will have to be
made up by careful classification, COM
bining men of like training, acquire
ments and aptitudes. But the object
will be always the same-not to hear
"recitations' on fixed text books, but
to discuss, to sift, to test, the reading
done by the men in their several
courses. so that the men may feel that
the preceptors are in some sense their
fellow students and friendly guides in
their outside reading the reading by
which lectures are to be supplemented
and the more formal discussion Of the
classroom broadened and made part Of
an Independent scheme of study.

SWEDEN REMAINS FIRM.
Conditions for Dissolution of Union
With Norway UnaIterable.

With Norway Unalterable.
Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 13.-The
delegates of Norway and Sweden ap-
pointed to discuss the dissolution of
the union Of the two countries will re-
assemble at Karlstad, Sweden, during
the day and as it is declared here that
the Swedish conditions are unalterable
the outcome seems to depend on the
Norwegian acceptance of these condi-
lions. The tone adopted by the Nor
wegian newspapers is very threaten
ing and is considered to be specially
significant coming after Mondays
meeting of the Norwegian delegates.
1t is recognized that breach may
follow the reassembling of the dele
gates and the Swedish authorities are
preparing for such an eventuality.

statements made in the New York
Life Insurance company's report to
the superintendent of insurance, was
the sensational disclosure made dur
ing the day at the session OF the leg
islative insurance Investigating com.
mittee. The fact was drawn from Ed
mund d. Randolph, treasurer Of the
New York Life Insurance company,
late in the day after Attorney Charles
e. Hughes, of counsel to the commit
tee, had labored for over an hour to
get direct answer from Mr.. Ran
dolph to a direct question.
The inquiry had dragged through
mass of figures during almost the en-
tire day, but 1t was not until nearly
the hour for ending the session that
the sensational feature was brought
out.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Randolph
had handed Mr.. Hughes a schedule of
syndicate undertakings and transac.
lions of the New York Life for the
past ten years. This statement was
to show ard a foot note to the SEIZED
participated in no syndicate transac-
lions that had been closed out with
loss. Among these syndicate transac-
tions was the underwriting of the
Navigation syndicate or international
| Mercantile marine.
Mr. Hughes drew from the witness
that there was an aggregate of $4,-
100000 the New York Life paid ]. P.
Morgan & Co. on this Joint account"
Took UP Sale of Stock.
Mr.. Hughes then took up a sales
item dated Dec 81, 1903, of $S00,000 of
International Mercantile Marine stock.
Mr.. Randolph. replying to MIR.
| Hughes, said this sale was made to
j. P. Morgan & Co. Mr.. Hughes then
asked:

OF a purchase of 100000. From whom
did you buy?"

because they desired to reduce it,
Yes, but why, then did you buy it
back the next business day."
| Here Mr.. Randolph began to eX-
plain and wandered several times
from the subject. He was led back
by the lawyer, and finally admitted
that Mr.. Perkins sold the shares for
the New York Life and also bought
them back again. Mr.. Hughes then
said:
LAS a matter of fact there was a re-
port to the superintendent of insur-
ance on Dec. 81, 1902"
"Yes."
''Then the sole purpose of the
transaction was that you might be
surance you held only $3,2O0,O0O of In
ternational Mercantile Marine shares ?"
The witness hesitated and tried
to evade a direct answer, but Mr..
Hughes repeated the question until
finally Mr. Randolph said: yes"
There was a momentary hush, fol-
lowed by a murmur Of suppressed ex-
element.
Following up the navigation syndi-
cate transaction Mr. Hughes referred
to an item on the schedule of syndi-
cate transactions under date of Dec
80, 1904, by which 100000 of bonds
were sold to J. S. Morgan & Co. of
London for $720,000.
Mr.. Randolph admitted that this was
an outright sale and the loss of $780,
900 was charged off to the profit and
loss account
