RAGGED BY DIR. T1FEL.

When those who are now middle aged or old studied Geography, or "Joggerfy," as it was more generally known, they didn't know much about the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Some of the children dimly thought that he might be a kind of sacred animal, like the sacred white elephants of Siam, and others were well satisfied with the knowledge that they didn't have to know anything about him. But the school-children will soon have to pay little attention to him. He has been bearded in his den, or tracked to his lair, and he will gradually get into the sehool-books. Of course it was a Ger man explorer who did the trick Any thing that isn't made in Germany, or investigated by a German, is rare.
 This Dalai-Lama-hun German was

 to address the Dalai in the latters own language. The reception was held in the largest chamber in the monastery, a spacious but low-roofed room con-
 taining many pillars draped in cloth.
 The Dalai sat on a wooden stool forty
 inches high. He is described as a slightly built, dark little man, with characteristic Tibetan features, thick black moustache, and many pock
 marks. He was dressed in the robe of
 the Lama priests and richly embroid-
 cred undergarment. Dr. Tafel address : cd him, but received no reply until

PUBLICITY ONCE, sEcEECr Now.

The Bible says there is nothing hid that shall not be known, but divorce proceedings in some States have been apparently so well hid that the knowl- edge of them has not yet got around. This is considered to be such an evil that Delaware has just provided for publicity in divorce proceedings, and there is a bill pending in the New York legislature to make all divorce hear ings public. There is much said In support of this bill. The Brooklyn Eagle, which is heartily in favor of it, says: The cure for all these efforts to keep the names of divorce applicants with money out of the newspapers is to make all divorce hearings public. That also would be a wholesome check upon the scandalous misdoings of the conspicuous rich. A provision which was originally made to keep scandal ous matter from publication, in the in- terest of public morals, has been turn ed into a device to protect rich wrong doers from the publication of their misconduct The result of that is a worse corruption of public morals than would come from the publication of scandals which are now sealed up. The discrimination in favor of those whose cases are sent to referees, as against those whose misconduct Is proclaimed from the witness stand, creates the, be- lief that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. That belief breeds mischief among those who think they are discriminated against; but 1t breeds far worse mischief among those who imagine that they can escape publicity through the favor of the courts. Among those offenders the practice breeds fragrant vice, for the fear of publicity is a far greater restraint upon evil conduct than any penalty which the courts can inflct for it. It is time that the whole mis- chievous business of sending divorce cases to referees was abolished. The law discourages divorce, and its admin istration should have the same effect. Many couples who now secure divorces as a preliminary to remarriage would refrain from that step if they knew that they must wade through a sea of newspaper headlines to secure their coveted freedom.
 Awhile ago it was considered that publicity in divorce proceedings was doing harm. Now it is thought that secrecy in divorce proceedings is doing harm. Who is competent to really draw the lines in such 8 matter?

CAPITA11zING HOPE.

A financier speaking of the way in which railroad stocks have been in- creased said it was "Capitalizing hope" That Is good phrase. shrewd and bold men are always capitalizing hope fin one way or another and they fre- Quently come out big winners in the operation. The capitalization of hope by the railroad managers has in most cases worked out all right. The growth of the country, which Jay Gould used to say he was bull on, has made hope reality and prospectuses records.
 Though there may be occasional fail ures in capitalizing hope it is a vastly better risk than trying to capitalize de- spair. The big money is in hope, and the effort which hope stimulates.

ANINrERESrING INCIDENT.

We read with surprise, not unmixed with regret, that at the graduation ex- ercises of the High School this year there will be no girls among the speak CTS. It appears that some girls were entitled to try for the honor but didn't care to. We do not for moment sup pose that the girls didn't dare to try. They could probably have secured a place, or places, among the orators if they had wanted to. The incident is an interesting one and will attract good deal of attention. It is rather against they theory that the young women of the present day are eaten by ambition to outshine the young men and to be cor spicuously conspicuous.

presents had been exchanged, the ex- plorer getting scarf of silk and wool When he prostrated himself before the Dalai Lama on taking leave the latter appeared pleased, and touched the ex- plorer's head with his right hand.
 Now that the Dalai Lama has been caught and studied by an Investigating German, the mysteries of the world are conspicuously less. He will soon be as well known as the once mysterious Akhoond of Swat is.

lie mind, in spite of the explanations which have been made on the floor of the senate and house, the charge that the lobby is at work to defcat the measures. in which Governor Woodruff Is interested. The action of the general assembly in limiting it's public service to the passage of an act making the mountain laurel the State flower, while disposing with more or less promptness of bills of special interests, tends to fas- ten the charge even more securely. In other words, it is fnconceivable that the wayfaring man should be expected to disbelieve all the otherwise harsh things which are being said in connection with legislative matters and legislators, when measures in which the people have an interest are postponed for the enactment of special measures, sup ported by private interests, ana when administrative department headquar- ters are appropriated by their represen- tatives. Rhode Island is not so far away but that the news has reached Connecticut of the brave fight being
 made by the governor of that State to oust from the State building and one
 of the rooms the head lobbyist of his commonwealth. It Is not unlikely that some successor of Governor Woodruff
 will have to make the same fight here.

STRAINS OF MUSIC.

Though the music of the mosquito may soon be largely decreased in New Jersey by the intelligent and well-di- rected efforts of the State entomologist and his co-workers, New Jersey will feel no lack of music. The dwellers there will soon be able to turn on mu- sic in their houses much as they now turn on gas or electricity. The mu- sic will come from New York, A great central plant is being installed in New York for the transmission of the mu- sic, and similar central plants are to be established elsewhere. It is expect ed that the arrangement will be in op- eration before the beginning of the next grand opera season.
 One report of what is going to be done in this line says that strains of music will be transmitted. Very likely

ANIRADE ISSUED.

When the head man in Turkey gets driven into a corner by some long-suf- fering and importunate creditor, or somebody who is able to push him hard for a settlement of some "long-pend- ing" question, he issues an trade Trade sounds good. and is good until the next move. We therefore feel pleased by the solemn announcement that the Porte has issued an trade pro- viding for the settlement of the long pending questions between the United States and Turkey. In accordance with this trade a communication has been sent from the Porte to Ambassador Leishman in which the Porte declares that the American schools and other institutions for which official recogni- ton was demanded will hereafter be treated on the same footing as those of other nations. All other American demands are conceded, and all the ob- stacles to complete solution of the difficulties which have existed between the American representatives and the Porte for three years seem to have been removed.
 Seem to have been removed" Some thing like that has been said before when Turkey seemed to be finally ready to do right. It's little eau tious, but there is no doubt about the trade. That has really been issued.

Goop moRK IN THE sourH.

It has at times seemed as if the sltu- ation in the South in respect to the race problem was almost hopeless, but there are cheering things in it. For in- stance, in Atlanta, Georgia, Civic League has been organized recently by two thousand white citizens to prevent occurrences of mob rule and thus to solve the puzzling problems due to the contact of people of two races. A Col ored Co-Operative Civic League has been organized in Atlanta also The two organizations, working together produced results almost immediately, preventing mob from murderipg a negro who was falsely accused of crime and securing the speedy and orderly conviction of another who had com mitted the crime in question. Other southern cities, following the example of Atlanta, are organizing citizens leagues for the purpose of promoting law and order. chiefly in protecting aw-abiding eolored men from mohs and In securing the apprehension and conviction of persons of either race who are guilty of crimes.
 The more such leagues there are, and the more active they are, the better. Perhaps the southern negro wont have to be "colonlzed" or expatrlated, after all.

Clash on the Gridirons.
One of the Most Notable Battles
Is West Point With Yale.
CADETS THE FAVORITE
Annapolis and Harvard to Meet

Pennsylvania and Princeton
Each Have Hard Games.

West Point, N. Y, Oct. ia clear
crisp autumn day favored the elevens
of West Point and the Yale university,
who met in the annual gridiron strug
gle here this afternoon Indications
are that fine weather and prospects of
a close game would bring an unusually
large crowd to the field.
This annual struggle between the
Yale men and the cadets is closely
watched by experts ANXIOUS to get a
line on Yale's style of play. Three
years age the cadets won by a score of
IL to 6, and this year they hope to
again defeat Yale.
The West Point players have the adj
vantage of being coached by Forbes
who played end on Yale's team last
year. The cadets have been given ex-
ira time for practice to get into the
best possible shape and Forbes is
well satisfied with the showing made
so far.

BALLOONISTS LOST.
No Definite Tidings of Mccoy and
Chandler Up to 10 O'Clock.

St. Louis, Mo, Oct. 19.-Members OF
the Aero club of st. Louis and the
visiting aeronauts are indulging in con-
siderable speculation concerning the
whereabouts of the United States
signal corps balloon No. 10, in which
J. c. Mccoy and Captain Charles De-
Forest Chandler travelled from st.
Louis to West Virginia yesterday. Up
to 10 o'clock this morning no tidings
had been received here regarding the
aeronauts. The impression prevails
that they landed last night in a Desc
late mountainous country and have
not yet reached a point of communica-
ton. 1t is expected that as soon as
they can communicate they will imme-
diately telegraph the Aero club of ST.
Louis.
Small electric flash lamps are car
ried by the balloonists who expect to
remain in the air all night, in order that
instruments may be noted in the dark
ness. Mccoy and Chandler took an
electric flash lamp of this kind with
them but it made only a small illumi-
nation when the button was pressed
and in no sense could be utilized as a
signal light The balloonists here saw
it could not be distinguished from be-
low even if the aeronauts had attempt
ed to use it as a signal. Therefore

Quakers Make Several Changes IN

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania football eleven
was excused from scrimmage work yes
terday in anticipation of hard game
with Brown university today on Frank
lin field. The regular eleven and the
substitutes were given long signal
drill, however, mainly for the purpose
of familiarizing the new men who will
be in today's game with the signals.
There will be several changes in the
Quaker lineup. Greene, who was cap
tain last year, will not start the game
his place at halfback being taken
by Townsend. CASTOR has been shifted
from left to right tackle and Miller,
subquarter. will be tried at left end.
The Pennsylvania coaches are anxious
over the result of the game and to-

pose of siren thening the red and blue

FLOOD IN ARIZONA.
High Water Stops Work on the Roose-
welt Dam.

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 19.-The Gays and
nights of frequent rains, some of them
downpours, have placed the Salt river
and its tributaries in a flood stage
again. Early this morning about $780,
900 inches of water, flooding the river
from Pinal creek, 20 miles above Roose-
under construction at Roosevelt, cover
ing three immense derricks and other
machinery and stopping work.

THE NAVY AND HARVARD.
Two Elevens Meet for First Time in
Their Football History.

Annapolis, Md, Oct. 19-For the first
time in the history of the two institu-
lions, the Midshipmen and Harvard
football teams will meet on the gridiron
this afternoon. The game will be called
at 2:30 D. m. and promises to be the
best of the season thus far. The navy
team. although somewhat crippled both
in the line and the backfeld is expect
ed to put up a good game. Harvard's
squad of 80 men arrived in Annapolis
this morning determined to take a navy
scalp back to Cambridge. but not over
confident of an easy victory. The navy's
weakness in the line is due to the loss
of Magruder, fast and aggressive
tackle. and the absence from the lineup
of Meyer at the guard on the same side
of the line. The hind line. the only
weakness in it, is a slight ind1sposition
on the part of Capt Douglas, which may
prevent his playing the game out. The
OFFICIALS of the game will be Corbin and
Sharp, both of Yale, referee and umpire
respectively, and Gresham Poe Of
Princeton field Judge.
