HITCHCOCK AND LAND FRAUDS.
Good Work That the Secretary Of the
 Interior Is Doing.


 Interior Is Doing.
 Little is said these days about Ethan Allen Hitchcock, Secretary of the In- teEior. But a good word ought. to be said for the quiet gentleman who has been working for years to clean up the department over which he presides. and tO whose determination We owe the fact that even a United States Senator has been convicted of violating the law for hire. When a Cabinet officer pur- sues his investigations even within the doors of the United States we may bl sure that he is is a man of courage.
 Secretary Hitchcock is not a grand stand playr." and not at all a man to make a fuss about what he does. He talks little,. refuses or neglects to take the papers into his confidence, maka few speeches, does not hesitate to offend powerful interests when they stand in his way. though he does not boast about having done so, and seema to be entirely willing to work without having the public eye on him. His chief anxiety is lest the thieves may get away, be warned before the trap is sprung, and lest tn evidence may es- cape him. So he has been patient though persistent, and has used the ut most care in his investigations. Tho result is, not only that we know thah there have bsen gigantic land frauds, but also that we have every reason to believe that the men guilty of them-, no matter how highly placed-wilI be punished b& ts& -e
 It seems to us that such services as these should be recognized as of very great importance Mir. Hitchcock is knWon to have been at work for years. Occasionally the. public has some ink ling of what was going on, but for the most part the Secretary has kept his own counsel. He has been attacked by some of the leading men of certain communities and even the people of those communities have been severe in their criticisms of hIr Hitchcock. It may even be that in certain cases they had a grievance. But the Score tary was. after big game, and his sole purpose was to serve the people by pro- tecting the public lands, and by wrest- E E3& s4

A Practical University.

In q collection Of reports from the
colleges OF Great Britain, recently pub
lished In an English magazine. one from
Birmingham University, in the city that
is noted for its progressiveness in mod
ernizing it's Institutions, notes that the
school Of brewing is making very salts
factory progress and is now In most
Furnishing condition
This useful department Of tho uni
versity runs no risk Of being dropped for
lack Of the necessary funds for its sup
port. 1t enjoys the solid and generous
backing Of the Birmingham and Mid
land Counties Wholesale Brewers As
ISOLATION, to which 1t Is indebted for it's
buildings and equipment, In addition
to the current expenses Of maintenance.
No part OF the university income, either
from endowment funds or from the Gov
eminent grant, has been taxed for the
establishment or for the support Of this
school.
Si1ty-seven pupils have been gradu-
ated from Its courses and new ones are
coming in even from the distant colonies
of the British Empire. The managers
have recently visited similar institutions
OF the higher education on the Cont
nent, in Client, Berlin, Vienna, Munich
and Paris, and the Birmingham school
will reap the benefit Of their experience
and observations in new and additional
equipment and in q reorganization Of
the curriculum.
Thus the university ceases to b q
thing aloof from tho affairs Of everyday
life. 1t draws very close to the plain
and practical working world.

In an article In tho International 0uor-
terlv, OF which We gave an abstract recently,
Prof. N. s. SHALKH Of Harvard University
presents q review of the supply and the
probable exhaustion Of the worlds metals.
He says nothing that need alarm those OF
the present generation, and nothing that
need cause us serious anxiety for our chill
dren or our grandchildren. But some
where along the next hundred years or 30
be sees new conditions and possible trouble
from high priced iron and copper and .
dearth OF gold, lead and tin.
Prof. SHALEB SEES England and Cont
mental Europe already on the verge OF an
iron famine. He sees the exhaustion OF the
beds Of Mesabs, Alabama and Tennessee
within Q period measurable by decades.
When these and few others like them are
gone, the only recourse will DO to smaller
deposits, far more costly Of operation. and
to treatment of ores now regarded a. worth
less. Prices will advance and iron again
become q precious metal. The outlook for
copper 10 on par with that for iron.
Apparently II postenty would live In
skyscrapers instead Of holes In the ground.
and would travel by rail instead Of afoot.
II will be forced to the discovery Of either
cheap aluminium or the transmutation OF
elements. It seems . little hard on pos
terity, but We fancy they will get along as
We did before We had telephones and auto
mobiles.

International Crtck ct,

Tho Marylebone Cricket Club Of Lon
don, which began it's tour in this country
on Tuesday by defeating the Gentlemen
Of Philadelphia, Is the Oldest and most
famous cricket organization in the world.
With more than q century and half OF
history behind it, its prestige Is pre-
eminent. It's rules, as originally made
by the club and by it from time to time
amended, govern the game wherever it
is played.
The popularity Of cricket, the national
game OF England, In this country is
attested by the large number Of clubs
In various districts, governed by several
central organizations. The game has
been longest established and Is most
popular in Philadelphia. In New York
the Metropolitan Cricket League is
the most prominent organization. There
are important cricket associations in
Massachusetts, in Chicago and in Cali
fornia. In the colleges the game classes
with the 1minor sports the Inter-
collegiate Cricket League comprising
the clubs Of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania, Harvard, Cornell and Hsverford.
In the intercollegiate association no
admission charges to games are allowed
cricket heing "gentleman's game. and
each individual athlete paying his own
expenses.
In 1889 the Gentlemen OF Philadel-
phia visited England, Ireland and Scot
land. or twelve matches played, four
we're won, three lost, and five tied. The
Americans scored 1890 runs to 17s wick
cts lost, while the Britishes made 1914
runs to 100 wickets. In 1891 a team cap
tanned by Lord HAWKE came here, de-
feating the Gentlemen OF Philadelphia
and teams in Baltimore and Chicago,
and losing to the Gentlemen of Phil
adelphia In three days game by eight
wickets. A game with q New York
team resulted in q draw. Two games
played in Canada resulted in easy VIC
tories for the Englishmen. Lord HAWKE
brought over another team in 1894,
which won three out Of five games played,
the other two being drawn.
The popularity Of cricket In America
has grown steadily, and the test Of games
with British and colonial clubs has been
frequently sought as measure of home
prowess. In 1898 an Australian team
played twice In Philadelphia, losing the
first game end winning the second. In
Boston and Chicago the Antipodeans
won, while In New York the game was
drawn.
The interesting feature In the record
of 1895 10 the tour Of the Oxford Cam
bridge team. This team defeated the
players Of New York and Canada; de-
feated the Gentlemen Of Philadelphia
once, and lost to them once; and was
defeated by the University Of Penn
sylvania In the following year an
other Australian team, after winning
all but one Of their games tn the East,
