midas pets are not royal. but celes-
tial. To write Of animals in the land
which keeps its vedic prayers and for
gets the names of Its emperors. one
must leave solid ground and ascend to
heaven, must speak IN poetry, not prose,
In hyperbole rather than In plain
speech. The question of animals can
not, indeed. be sOberly treated. Every
where one sees acts toward them that
can be explained only by their sacred
and legendary importance. One can
scarcely believe ones senses. This at
titude Is not the fantasy Of moment
nor the bette blanche, so to speak, Of q
single author. 1t is the accumulated
national delirium Of thousands Of
years. To detach such animal worship
from Indian life Is TO tear the rug to
pieces, and we can weave nothing more
beautiful. Ht
The place held by these creatures in
India is different from that accorded
them in any other country. Every AMI
NAL is looked upon as but the covering
Of a spirit. Is not its mind with God?
Are not Its auras and vibrations far
purer than ours? May not even the
soul Of our grandmother look from its
eyes? May not we ourselves return to
lower than its state II we give 1t not
reverencei Such conceptions are not
called from obsolete thought, but from
the vibrant lip and life Of India today.

COLLEGE SPORTING GOSSIP.
No Yale Man Disqualified in Prince
 ton Game.

Somebody has started report that one of the Yale linemen was disquali- fled in the football game with Prince ton, and that had there been time for another play Yale would have been disqualified half the distance to her own goal line instead of having five yards to go to a touchdown. Foster Rockwell, Yale head coach, says re- garding the report:
 There is absolutely no truth in the story. No penalty against Yale man was given. As near as I can learn the story sprang up because when Referee Hackett announced the game was over Erwin was the only player to hear what he said, and Erwin questioned him about 1t. When reassured that the game was over, Erwin jumped from the rush line and ran for the Yale side lines, while the other Yale players made ready for another scrimmage until the referee could finally make them understand that the game was really over."
 When the football team of the North Division High school of Chica- go left the other night for Seattle, where 1t will play the Seattle High school team on New Years day, among the party was Louis Torre, one-armed boy. Torre played q line position in several of the North Division games this season and show ed up we'll. Just before the train pulled out of the station at Chicago sum sufficient to pay Torres ex- penses on the long trip was made up. Walter Steffen, the University of Chi cago's fleet halfback, went with the party as head coach.
 Yale. it is said. will not send a crew to the next American Henley. to be held on the Schuylkill at Phil- adelphia on May 27. The reason given is that Yale will be too busy with other rowing plans.
 A movement is under way in the west to organize a college swimming association similar to the one em- bracing eastern colleges. Dr J. E.. Raycroft of the University of Chica- go Is the moving spirit in the plan. and the idea is to start with three members-Chicago, Wisconsin and Washington university of St Louis. The University of Chicago swimmers were beaten by Yale last spring and want to get even. They believe the best way to encourage and develop swimming is to have plenty of com petition, western intercollegiate championship to be the chief end in view.

CONFESSED MURDER

 Which He Had Stolen.

 man With Physician's Lance
 Which He Had stolen.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31.-John c Price, who has been under arrest in this city since Dec. 8, according to a statement made by Captain of Detec. tiyes Donahy,, has confessed that he murdered Mrs. Maurice Lewis at 21O3 North Eleventh street on the afternoon of Sept. 10 last
 Tn written statement Price, who has been arrested several times on charges of forgery and larceny, says that with a companion, whose name he refuses to give, he went to the Elev- enth street house for the purpose of robbery. They represented themselves to be plumbers. While his companion was searching the upstairs rooms Price says that Mrs. Lewis came upstairs and caught him. He continues:
 'There was struggle and chase. At the foot of the stairs caught Mrs. Lewis to keep her from screaming, and a handkerchief was thrust into her mouth. I then drew from my pocket lance which I had previously stolen from a physicians ofiice'- At this point Prices statement ends abruptly with the following:
 My God! I can't write it. I killed her. I alone am guilty"
 Mrs. Lewis body was found In a closet under the stairs in her home. She had been stabbed through the neck with a sharp instrument, which might have been lance or dirk.
 The murder has bafiled the police officials of this city ever since its com mission Mrs. Lewis boarded with Miss Kelly, and the latter and board CT named Harry Somers were placed under arrest shortly after the crime, but were subsequently discharged for lack of evidence
 The prisoner is thirty-four years old. Tn 1899 he was tried in the criminal courts on charges of forgery and lar ceny and was acquitted on the grounds of insanity and sent to Norristown h. sane asylum. He was found, the police say. at that time in the Episcopal hos pital under treatment for the ciga- rette and drug habit. In his confession he tells of having frequently stopped in saloons to get drink of absinth while planning the Lewis robbery.
 The prisoner was originally arrested on a charge of stealing from the Al dine hotel. where he had been chef. He walked Into detective headquarters and described the hotel thief and told where he lived. When the detectives went with him to the home of the al- legged thief they discovered he was the man. When they told him he was the thief he simply said: 'I know. I just wanted to see if you could pick me up on description
 He said he could not sleep because he heard the cries of Mrs. Lewis three year-old child in his ears and for that reason confessed to having committed the murder.
