ready and willing to make sacrifices for
others, he won the love and respect Of all
with whom he came into contact. Such a
nature can never die, and the memory of
his virtues and manly character will long
remain. The world has been made better
for his living and heaven has been made
richer by his death. Affectionate, gentle
and kindly, there are others besides his
family who will drop the silent tear above
his bier. Such lives are an example and
can never, never die"

ATHLETIC ABUSES AT YALE.

University Council Committee Reports
 Faculty Against EXtravagance..
 New Haven. Feb. 7-President Had ley said last night that the report oi the investigation by the special com" mittee of the University council that has been looking into the alleged ath- letic abuses at Yale had been made to him as head of the council. He de clned for the present to make known what the committee had found out. He said there was no hurry to make public the result of the inquiry. The members of the committee were Pro- fessors Woolsey of the law depart ment. Lewis of the English literature department and Pirsson professor, Atf 1Atf physical geology.
 The committee commenced it's iii- Quiry about six weeks ago. In the University council are leading repre- sentatives from the different depart ments of the university.
 Walter Camp represents tue athletic organizations. President Hadley is chairman. The council is what might be called President Hadley's cabinet.
 The members of the academic facul- ty have been holding meetings entire ly independent of the university coun- cils special committee, aud consider ing athletic reform at Yale. It was understood last night that the faculty members have not concluded their conference on this subject. Some of the members of the faculty are known 10 be dead set against the high price for admission to football games, for instance. and are totally opposed io any and all attempts to offer any special inducements to get men to come to Yale because of their athlet- ic promise. There is opposition to plo- fessional coaches but the opinion pre-. vails that this opposition-is not pow erful enough to disturb the existing conditions in this respect.
 Tbat the faculty is in favor of talk. ing stand against what is regarded in it's judgment as extravaganza in the development of athletic teams is generally conceded ny those who arc familiar with what has bren going on behind the closed doors of all the fac. ulty meetings.
 It is also known that many of the athletic leaders at Yale have been questioned by members of the faculty and by the special university council committee and have gladly furnished to the faculty and the committee al' the information asked for. It is known that athletic leaders are in favor of reform measures that will put athIet. ics at Yale on a footing that will meet with the approval of the faculty and the university council. There is no idea in any quarter at Yale that foot ball will be abolished.
 It is believed. too. that the manage ment of athletics at Yale will remain just as it is. under the jurisdiction Oi the undergraduates.

Comnlandant Of Naval Academy Will
 Abolish Japanese Wrestling.


 Comma ndant of Naval Academy VIII
 Abolish JaDanese wrestlinE. X WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.--Jiudo. the Japanese style of wrestling, will be abolished from the Naval academy if Rear Admiral Sands, the commandapt of the academy, is permitted to have his way.
 The testimony of Admiral Sands be fore the house committee on naval af- fairs which has just been made public, shows that he thinks but little of the style of wrestling popularized by the presidents attitude toward it.
 When asked by members of the com mittee what he believed the value of judo to be Admiral Sands replied:
 T expect to make all adverse report upon the Japanese method when am called upon to act. With my present light I should report against this par ticular kind of wrestling. I do not think the Japanese method is ill any way preferab ble to ours. A man is more apt to be injured or abused. think it is a trick. I think you can injure man more seriously, and the more you know about it the more temptation there is to injsre an adversary, and do not think that intentional injury is the spirit of sports"
 Admiral Sands said the instructions in boxing has nothing to do with any predisposition to fighting at the acad- emy and that hereafter there will be no fist fights at Annapolis

 This is about all you know? We'll, I'll have to make my report out on those facts, then"
 A hush fell over the surgical ward in the hospital as two attendants, bear ing stretcher, slowly and carefully made their way past the long line oi neat white beds. Patients who were able rose on their elbows wondering who the new arrival was.
 Put him in 32," directed the ward master-"next beyond that screen there"
 The patient groaned loudly as he was carefully transferred from the stretcher to the bed.
 Wouldn't want to be the fellow that sleeps next to him, and hear him groanin' all. night" remarked an at tendant as he glanced toward ths screen.
 That fellows deaf: that's why put him here,' explained the ward master.
 Then, after taking the new arrivals temperature, the hospital men left the victim of a runaway accident on the Escolta" to himself.
 At nine o'clock the attendants turned out all lights save four. Patients vel enough to enjoy the evening breeze on the veranda were slowly entering the hospital and retiring.

A La Denmark.

To carry out valentine party, "a la Denmark would make an interesting affair. In that land of snow and ice, the modest little snow drop has from time immemorial been sacred to St.. Valentine, and the sentimental Dane sends his lady love bouquet of these immaculate blossoms. with card bear. ing a verse expressing his sentiments. On the card are as many pin bricks as there are letters in his name. So for place cards, prick the name. just for fun; or to choose partners, pin prick the number of letters in the girls names, and let the boys find their partners.
 Pink, delicate green, pale violet, in fact all the delicate pastel shades, are suitable colors for a Valentine party, but pink is usually given the prefer ence. Hearts. true lovers knots and wishbories may be cut from light weight cardboard and used in all places where they will be effective, such as hanging from chandeliers, gas jets or from doorways and grills. Portieres may be made from hearts, string or pink ribbon, also festooned around the room. -
 Use pink shades and in the dining room have delicate green vines, SIS. pended over the table, with pink hearts. In the center of the table make a solid heart of white snow drops. .-.
 Dainty figures of Cupids with bow and arrow, swans drawing tiny bas- kets. quivers full of arrows and hearts of all colors and descriptions may be obtained at the confectioners'; also heart-shaped candies and ornaments made from spun sugar. -....
 Make the sandwiches and cakes heart-shaped by using tin cutter of this shape. .. ..~. z.-- ..

 Then his heart seemed to stop beat ing: for. glancing over his shoulder he belield bunch of red hair. freckles and bandages which. as 1t peered down over the top of the bamboo screen. was heard to humble:

 Early next morning. as an attendant was sweeping under the cot that had been occupied by the deaf man" something glittering in the sunlight caught his eye. IL was not the tin type of Esrle's sweetheart. but an or dinary piece Of tia that Mcguire had tossed over the screen

A Fortune Wheel.

With very little trouble . heart shaped target of white muslin may be prepared with a heart painted of green on the outside, one of black, third of yellow, fourth blue, fifth red. This will look like series of hearts. Fasten the target against the wall and give each guest fate" card.
 When the arrows are shot the color upon which they hit determines the fate of the shooter. The bows and ar rows may be purchased at toy store. or one bow and a half dozen arrows may be made at home and will answer instead of one for each person.
 When the arrow strikes the green heart. the fate" card indicates that:
 Love and riches wait. ween.
 Him or her who hits the green --5 should your arrow pierce the blue. Love is on the wing for you" She who passes colcrs all
 Has .overs many at her call"
