LARGE ATHLETIC FUND.
Yale Association Has Reserve of
 S123. 900.


 $12S,00O.
 During the season '04-'05 the Big Five oR the colleges earned $4S7,512 from the athletics, but it spent nearly all of it, the figures being $4Ol, ,609. The receipts for .19O5-O6 fell short trifie ov- CT $12.Oo0. the figures being $4S5,0i6. But there was big saving in expenses, amounting to some $6O.2O0. As the re- port is for only a portion of the first year under the new order of things we may look for d better report next year.
 Yale's receipts were over a. thousand dollars more than any other college but her expenses were greater than Harvard's her nearest competitor in this line. Yale and Haward made most of their money out of athletics last year. This is due to the fact that these two institutions have a better money-making football schedule than their rivals. The profits from the Yale Harvard game alone are frequent ly greater than the profits of a full season at Cornell.
 Yale's Athletic association Is now the richest in the land for the Eli's have been piling up the profits, year after. year until they now have a reserve fund of S123,O0O This money is being saved up for the purpose of construct- ing a modern athletic field which is expected to rank among the finest in the country

FOUNTAINS TO PLAY ECHOES.
West Side Fire Laddies to Meet Shell
 ton Bremen.

Next Saturday afternoon the Foun- tain Hose company baseball team will try conclusions with the Echo Hose nine of Shelton. The locals have long been anxious to get at their Shelton brethren and expect Saturday to show them that they know something about the national game or how it should be played The Ansonia nine, in fact, feels so confident of victory that the mem bers of the team are using up their spare time figuring just how many runs to pile up. It would never do, they say, to bury the Echoes completely, so it has been decided merely to put them to sleep. A big crowd from here will go to Sunnyside to see the operation performed. The Fountains do not real ly need any practice, but for appear anee sake the team will get together to, morrow evening at the usual place.

WHERE Apples ARE GROWN.
North America the Great Producing
Region Of the World.

The area Of the world devoted 10
apple raising in the northern hemi-
sphere extends from Scandinavia on
the north to the mountain regions OF
North Carolina and Tennessee on the
south. In the southern hemisphere
apples are raised IN New Zealand and
Tasmania, but little success has been
obtained In Australia, Africa or South
America. North America ii the great
apple-producing region Of the world
and New York leads all the other
states in the quantity grown, although
there are many choice varieties pro-
duced in other states, particularly
Missouri, Oregon and Washington.
The soil and climate conditions must
combine to produce the finest fruit.
The annual aggregate product Of the
world is estimated al 100000, 900 bar
rels, but not all of this is gathered. for
III seasons when the production is
plentiful large quantities are fed to
cattle or allowed to rot on the ground,
and every season millions cS bushels
loY the less choice varieties and the
poorer fruit from the best trees are
turned into cider, which Ii used as d
beverage and for making vinegar and
apple brandy.

THE NEW MISS ROOSEVELT.
Ethel Looking Forward to Her Debut
in the White House.

When the president arrived home
from Panama the newspapers an
nounced that he was met by Miss
Roosevelt" To old friends of the
family this sounded strange, for with
"the" Miss Roosevelt now Mrs. Long
worth, there was only one person
who could be intended, and that was
little Miss, Ethel.
Little" Miss Ethel? That might
have been true couple OF years
ago. but those who have seen the
presidents second daughter in the
last few months would no longer
think Of applying the diminutive adj
jectiVe to her.
How she has grown!" they are
saying.
For Miss Ethel is now really and
truly Miss Roosevelt, and already
there are signs that she will take the
social position left vacant by the mar
riage of her elder sister.
Miss Ethel now occupies the suite
in the White House formerly occu-
pied by Miss Alice, now Mrs. Long
worth. This apartment consists of
bedroom, boudoir and bath, overlook
ing Pennsylvania avenue 1t has been
charming1y done over in delicate blue
and is fashioned in light maple. Miss
Roosevelt chose the furnishings her
self in New York several months
ago. Chief among the larger pieces is
big bookcase made after Miss
Roosevelt's own ideas. Unlike her
older sister, she is an omnivorous
reader, and books are the boudoir's
chief adornment.
The presidents oldest unmarried
daughter is now well past 16. She
will be 18-the ordinary coming-out
age for a debutante-in July, 1908
which would give her a season in
the White House before her fathers
retirement on March 4, 1909. But
she is growing up so fast now that
Washington is indulging in the hope
that there may be another young lady
in the White house for the next sea
son, 1907719OS.
While her sister was still the young
lady of the White House Miss EtheI
was kept very much in the back
ground. She wore short skirts and
kept her hair in pigtails She went
to the Cathedral school and was al
lowed to choose her friends entirely
outside OF social conventions.

Polite Senator Pettus.

It is generally agreed among occu-
pants of the galleries at the capitol
that the most polite and accommodate
ing member of the senate is Mr.. Pet
sus of Alabama, aged IS. One of the
most rigid rules regarding elevators
in the senate wing is that they must
be run to accommodate senators, no
matter who the other passengers may
be. Mr. Pettus never allows this
rule to be enforced in his case, al
ways instructing the man to let the
other passengers off wherever they
wish to alight.

WHITE HOUSE CHINA
WOULD MAKE a MOST INTEREST
ING COLLECTION.
Unfortunately The Various "sets" Used
by Successive Presidents Have
Been Two Widely Scattered
to Admit of This.

One Of the confessed hobbies of Col.
William H. Crook, for 40 years execu-
tive clerk at the White House, is the
presidential china. Col. Crook has
made thorough study of the White
House ware, and himself possesses an
interesting collection.
In it is one of the Madison plates
which he discovered in a secondhand
store. 1t is a small tea plate, with a
narrow gold rim edging wider pale
blue band encircled by little golden
stars. A broad, blue band comes next,
edged with another band of gold In
the center Of the plate is a medallion,
outlined in gold and filled with tiny,
badly blurred gold stars.
mo more interesting collection
could possibly be made" said Col.
Crook, than one that would show the
china used by each successive presi.
dent. Unfortunately the White House
has never had a curator whose duty it
was to care for it's furnishing, and at
this late day it would be impossible to
make such a collection. The existing
specimens, however, are of much his
toric value, and should be preserved
with the utmost care.
Although George and Martha Wash
ington never lived in the White House
yet the china which they used, both at
Mt. Vernon and at the executive man
sions in Philadelphia and New York
would properly come under this head
ing. Luckily for posterity, more of il
is still extant than of the household
ware Of all the other early presidents
combined. That Lady Washington was
typical colonial housewife, proud OF
! her fine linen and china, is attested by
! her own and Gen. Washington's wills
| in which disposition Is made of quaint
ties of those things.
Most Of Mrs. Washington's china
descended first to her grandson
George Washington Parke Gusts, and
included the Cincinnati and Var
Braam sets, besides many other spe
| cific pieces. By Mr.. GUSTS it was left
to the grandson, George Washington
GUSTS Lee, the eldest son of Robert e
Lee. 1t will be recalled that during
the civil war it was taken from the an
cestral home of the Lees, at Arlington
and stored in the patent Office with the
other national collections. When the
Arlington estate passed into the pos
session Of the government, it, witt
other Washington relics, was placed
on exhibition in the National museum
There it renamed from 1883 unit
