alternative of losing the legacy and
continuing athletics in the institution.
When we consider that Swathmore has
thirty instructors and three-hundred
and seven students and that President
Swain looks with disfavOr on any
change in the present regime merely
for a financial consideration of three
million dollars, athletics as necessary
factor in educa ton becomes apparent.
The Chicago Tribune following the
same ratio of enrolment asks if Yale
University would consider a thirty-two
million dollar proposition.
Recognizing the fact that certain
phases of athletics may be too ex-
pensive in vital energy-the games
may be too rough-stll a boil is not
inexpensively remedied by amputating
the limb, just above the affected part.
The part that rational motor training
whether in competitive athletics or Ill
serving energy in the process of educa-
ton. will lead men to solve the problem
of the relation of physical training to
the curriculum not by the process OF
elimination/but by giving greater OPP
pOrtunities for the rational develop

His Profession

A passing stranger was attracted by
frightful screams coming from little
house not far from the road. Hurried
ly tying his horse, he ran to the house
and found out that a little boy had
swallowed a quarter. and his mother,
not knowing what to do, had become
frantic.
B The stranger caught the little fellow
by the heels, holding him up. gave him
few shakes, whereupon the quarter
soon dropped to the floor.

mother, "you cert'n'ly knowed how to

PEARLs iNcREAsE IN PRICE.

Few New Ones In Market-FlshsrIss Of
ceylon Closed Down for One Year.
A good deal has been said about
the high prices at q recent sale Of
1ewelry In auction rooms and surprise
has been expressed that one pearl
necklace slone should have sold for
s6.s00.
A representative Of the Tribune had
an interview on the subject yesterday
with A. G. Maginnis, Joint managing
director Of goldsmith's and a silver
smiths company. Mr.. Maginnis said
s6,S00 was by no means an excep-
tional sum for pearl necklace. II
have had the identical necklace In my
hand this morning" he continued,
land / certainly do not think it was
dear at the price. But we have in
stock here number which are far
more valuable. At the Paris exhibi-
ton of 1900 we had a white pearl
necklace on show, the price of which
was 100000. Such prices as a25,-
600. 100000 and $4,000 are not at
all uncommon.
"The reason that pearls bring in
such enormous prices is that fine
specimens are scarce. First, they must
be perfectly round, then they must
match. Not one in a thousand is per-
fectly round. Then necklaces are usu-
ally made so that the pearls are large
in front and taper off gradually at the
back. This adds to the difficulty of
matching them. To make up really
well matched necklace may take years.
Undoubtedly the price has gone up
during the last ten years, and it is
still going up. This is due partly to
an increased demand. Then the com.
pany which took over the Ceylon pearl
fisheries about year ago is closing
them down for twelve months to ena-
BILE the oysters to recuperate. There
fore, during the next year or so very
few new pearls will come into the
market

BEAUTY OF MEXICAN INDIANS.
Their Fine Eyes and Features and In.
teliiaent Expression.

Their Fine Eyes and Features and In.
teIii3ent Expression.
: The beauty of Indian women is one
OF the charms of Mexico.
In the capital, where the Indian has
degenerated bF contact with the
whites, by extreme Poverty and mental
service. it is less to be remarked than
in the smaller towns end in tire coun-
try.
But the beautiful faces one takes in
memory away from Mexico are those
OF 1nd!an women. Fine eyes are uni
verss! and, what one hardly expects,
hne features, according to Caucasian
standards; broad brows, straight
noses, we'll formed mouths and chins
FULL but not gross or heavy. The ex-
preston is very generally intelligent
ana often one is struck, both in Indian
men sad women, with the nobility and
refinement of the countenance.
One frequently sees types among the
poems that seem to belong to some
highly civilized anc;snt casts, an Egyp.
tan priest of royal blood, a Roman
centurion, an Aztec emperor. The
women are gently lovely where they
are beautiful, ard the men at their
best IN carriage, in manners and in
countenance are strikingly like the
very advanced product of civilization.
In the North the noble red man.
mas chiefly been found in our poetry
and romance. At their highest they
possessed only the savage virtues.
Here in mid-Mexico, even after four
centuries of subsection, the Indian is
plainly of better make, of higher eth.
mic development, of infinitely greater
possibilities. It is a far cry from the
Apache to the Aztec.

AFTER THE GRAFTERS.

Both criminal and civil proceedings
against all persons concerned in the
fraudulent transactions in connection
with the construction and furnishing OF
Pennsylvania 100000 Capitol are
recommended in the 6ual report OF the
Capitol investigation commission made
to Governor Stuart yesterday.
Eighteen persons are named IN the
report as being involved in one way or
another in the irregular transactions,
and the Attorney General, through the
Governor, is urged to act at once.
The name OF Governor Pennypacker,
who by virtue OF his Office was a member
of the board of public grounds and
buildings which let the furnishing con-
tracts, and those of former Governor
Stone and his associates, who made up
the commission which constructed the
Capitol, are not mentioned in the list OF
persons against whom the Investigators
recommend that action be taken.
The commission says that 1t was able
to ascertain by testimony that goods cost
ing 81, 574, 999 were sold to the State by
Sanderson and the Pennsylvania Con-
struction Company for Sc, 4S4, 74S, aprO-
fit of 81, $50, 349.

now In all Buffalo banks and trust COM
panies for about eight years. The &C
ton Of the Buffalo Savings Bank was

the secretary OF the bank said that the
bank lest year earned 1858, 600 over and
above all expenses and that the deposits
aggregated $26, 600, 600 The directors
concluded that rather than turn the earn
ings into the surplus and pay high
State tax they would give large part OF
them to the depositOrs, in this case $3.50
900 annually. 1t is believed other But
fslo banks will follow this lead and that
the rate of interest paid by the banks in
that city will be increased by many of
those 10 other States. Money is now in
greater demand than it has been for

The TeIegraphers' Strike.

New York, Aug. 17.-Repeated
charges that the telegraph companies are
defrsuding the public by accepting tel
egraph tolls for messages and then send
ing them by mail, express and tel
ephone, were made by the officials Of
the telegraphers' union today. Officials
of the company would reply to such
charges only by saying they are utterly
ridiculous, as the companies claim they
have more than enough operators to
handle the business.
10 the meantime, the strategy board,
composed of Messrs. Small, Russell,
Quick and Perham, are going ahead
today with their plans for a test of
strength between the teleggaphers and
telegraph companies. Commissioner Neill
will explain the Chicago situation to
President Roosevelt today and at the
same time Gompers will confer with
the executive board of the national
labor organization. ASS result of these
two important conferences il is expected
that a board will soon be appointed to
discuss settlement terms.
President Samuel GOmpers' report to
the national executive council of the
American Federation of Labor will rec
ommend among other things the udorse-
ment of the strike by the 2, 500, 900 organ
lied workers OF the Unlted States and
the acceptance Of the working alliance
with Canadian telegraphers, and a pro-
posal to vote strike funds of 81, 900, 900
to be held in reserve until a national
strike assessment may be made in the
ranks of all affiliated unions, the total
amount to be determined by the liber-
atty ofthe. various unions.
At the general Offices of the Western
Union the statement that the strike is
over and that therefore there are no de-
velopments in the situation was reiie-
rated.

where there was any difficulty was in
