In athletics the ,g.eat heroes are the
team captains, particularly of the foot
ball eleven. This honor during the last
season was held by Louis c. Farley. OF
Rowe, Mass, who played tackle on the
team for three years. He is a particu-
larly spirited player and has held his
own consistently although generally pit

Whistler's Z Famous Peacock Room

tn HE fact that artist Whistler's
famous Peacock Room is soon to
be brought, in sections, to this
country, makes interesting an ac-
count of this wonderful work of Whist
ler's eerie genius. Many descriptions Of
how the room came into being have been
written-in books about Whistler and in
various art journaIs-but the best is that
of an anonymous writer in the New
York Herald as follows:
The house was the property of Mr.. F.
r. Leyland, and stands at Princess
Gate, London The dining room origi-
nally was IN the early Norman style,
with drop ceilings and much woodwork
On the whole 1t was a rather gloomy
interior. The dominant color tone was
supplied by the walls, which were COW
cred with old Spanish leather, a very
costly but somewhat gloomy decoration
With the intention Of Tightening the
room Mr.. Leyland called upon the ia
nous artist to paint a panel to occupy
one side Of the room The price ar
ranged for this single panel, incidental
~, was $4,000. The painting, which
Whistler completed in due time, was
entitled. La Princess du Pays de
Porcelain It was in his best manner
and has been greatly admired. The CEN
trail figure Of the painting is that of a
girl dressed in light pink robes, the
general effect suggesting strongly a

But q new coach came to the Acad-

II have been so misquoted in the

following statement:
First, did not say that men at sixty
should be chloroformed. That was the
point in the novel to which referred
and on which the plot hinged.
Second, nothing in the criticisms
have shaken my conviction that the
telling work of the world has been
done and is being done by men under
forty years of age. The exceptions
which have been given only illustrate
the rule.
Third. it would be for the general
good if men at sixty were relieved from

ergies of some young old men, but on
the whole it would be of the greatest

JAPANESE AGAIN WIN.
Reports Of Battle in Progress on Rus
sian Left Flank.

st. Petersburg. Feb. 81. 1:35 a. m.-
An action of no mean proportions is in
progress on the Russian left flank. The
advantage thus far is on the side of the
Japanese, though at heavy cost. From
advices from the front 1t is difficult to
say how severe the losses have been
or how decisive the reverse, and
whether the Japanese are likely to at
tempt to drive In the Russian left
much further.
General Kuropatkin evidently has
been trying to establish his left flnak
far in advance, to command the cross
ings of the Taitse river. the operation
being a counterpart of General Grip
penberg's movement on the right flank
to secure the fords of the Hun river
preparatory to the breaking up of the
ice in the spring.
The scene of the operations is fifty
miles southeast of Mukden, beyond Da
pass. an important defile commanding
the road to Fushun, both armies occu
pying apparently impregnable POSITIONS
on the centers. General Kuropatllin
evidently planned to inaugurate widely
sweeping operations on both flanks,
but the Japanese countered hard.

Russian Strikes Political.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-Evidence
is increasing that the strikes through
out the empire, and especially those in
St. Petersburg, are not economic in
their origin, but inspired by definite
political plan. The government and
employers are embarrassed by the tao
tics of the workmen, whose discontent
is being fed and who are increasing
demands with each new concession.
This condition is believed to have
been fomented by crafty political agi-
tators, who are stirring up the men
and at the same time holding them in
leash, apparently waiting some signal
for concerted action. Fear is enter
tained that this widespread agitation
may be connected with plan to await
a possible outbreak in the spring with
which a general strike will be syn.
chronized, the workmen joining
hands with the peasants. The cleo
