Another matter of importance was a
motion by Mr.. Galligan that the com
mittee on Rates frame a resolution re-
questine the State Board of Railway
commissioners not to change the
switching rates from 81 per car to .
cent per 100. Mr. Magee stated that
the proposed change would Increase
the charge about sac per car which
would have 10 come ont Of the pro
Queer or the consumer, and that the
81 rate was ample. Mr. Carey said the
larger cars which railroad companies
were now building would enable them
TO charge 81 per car for switching, If
the proposed change were made.

LONGWORTH AT COLLEGE
HE DID NOT GO TO EXTREMES.

His two years in the racing shells had given him a fine physical development and he was reputed one of the strongest men on the squad He weighed 175 pounds and stood five feet eleven inches tall.
 Those who go in for intimate details of the lives of persons in the limelight will be edified to find by studying the statis- tics in the records that Longworth had the biggest chest thigh and calf among the wearers of the crimson that year. Her rick, a famous Harvard oarsman, was captain of the crew. and one of the other members was Storrow, who has since coached Harvard eights.
 Having won his "H' with the sweeps Longworth was elected to the Varsity club in his junior year. This club elects only those who have been given the uni- Versity initial for representing the uni versity on athletic teams. He was now 'it and everything came his way. With Foxhal I<eene Joe" Letter and few other lucky ones. he was elected to the exclusive Zeta Psi. The Pieran Sodality made him it's president and the freshmen began to look up to him as "tin god He again rowed on his class crews in autumn and spring. and stroked the win ming eight in a quarter-mile sprint for barges on the Charles.
 In his senior year Nasty Pudding took him and then there were no more fields to conquer so Longworth rested on his oars and enjoyed life. He continued to keep his old room in Hilton and some of the ianitors. or goodies" as they are some times called still remember him. They say he was extremely pleasant. with an attractive manner and warm disposition.

Medicine and Theology.
he Now York ,Erihnne.

From the New York Tribune.
 The following story was told by John l.. Mahin, in a recent address, of the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis. now of Brooklyn, when he was pastor of Central church, Chicago:
 Dr. Hills had number of doctors in his Chicago congregation. IL was fashion able church, but it didn't get Dr. Web ster. He didn't go to church at all. but had the reputation of making good' in his practice Mrs. Hills was taken sick one day and became very sick that her husband didn't want to take any chances so he sent for Dr. Webster. He came. took care of Mr. Hllls and she recovered.
 pr. Hills called and said to the physi- clan: Doctor, I owe you great deal l would like to know the amount of your bill. I will pay you $50 on account today and the rest as soon as l can, but want to know the total amount, so that l can make arrangements to do so."
 Dr. Webster looked at him for a minute and his characteristic reply showed his appreciation of Dr. Hills, who made good" in his own line, for he said 'I will tell you what l will do. l will keep Mrs Hillis out of heaven as long IS can, and you keep me out of hell as long as you can."
