Swathmors's Predicament

The Quakeress, Miss Anne T. Jeanes, who gave s1,0oo,000 to aid negro rural schools in the south, died last week, and her will dscloses the gift of a property worth perhaps $3,000,000 to Swathmore college on condition that the college will never more participate in intercollegiate sports, notably foot ball.
 This puts a perplexing question up to the Pennsylvania college. It Is not a rich institution, its endowment being less than a million dollars, and yet 1t fears 10 hurt the college spirit by cut ting out athletics. But worst of all the condition of the gift assails the right of individual judgment, which is very dear to the Quaker heart. Swathmore is particularly a Quaker institution, and last year 1t defeated the SUniyer- sity of Philadelphia by to 0 on the football field. Can Swathmore afford to sell it's untrammeled liberty for a mess of pottage? The Swathmore trustees have before them the most difficult problem that has presented itself to a college board sin many a year. The money is not tainted. Miss Jeanes father made it in the dry goods trade, but it becomes question able to the average student when 1t operates to bar out the exciting but not highly intellectual game of foot ball.

IMAGINATION.

Alas for the man who can not dream And thinks all things are what they
 seem
 Can't paint the day a brighter hue = Nor tinse the skies a deeper blue. Alas for the man who falls to see An inch beyond reality, Who worships form and will not hear The notes of music, sweet and clear, That come to him and him alone Above life's sombre monotone!

WILL NOT PLAY
ST. LOUIS TEAM

1t seems doubtful if there will be a
game between the st. Louis team and
the All-Hawaiis Captain Hampton
of the All-Hawaiis does not seem to
be greatly in favor of such a propo-
sition, and the only ones who are
strong for it belong to the Saints, who
wish to take their pick Of the men
who went to Japan and also of their
men who stayed at home.
A game with Hilo is out of the
question. Hilo would not play without
strong battery from outside. As all
the players from the Coast have re-
turned, it would be impossible to sat.
fsfy them in this regard, so the mat
ter will have to be dropped. Hilo has
some fast men, but, taking the general
average, it is doubtful if they would
be strong enough to tackle the local
players. George Desha, who plays in
left field at Hilo, is the equal, if not
the superior, of any outfelder in Ho.
nolulu %hd can hold his own with the
local men at the bat. Brick" Lyman,
at second base, is a good man, and
at first, is also fast, but the
other players on their team are Hardly
up to the standard of this city.

IS
RIGHT MAN

The offer that has been made to the
Transpacific Yacht Committee by Cap
tain John R. Macaulay to take the
vessel to the Coast and race her back
without any compensation, has created
a great deal of interest in the city.
Captain Macaulay is well and favor
ably known in Honolulu and has had
the experience which is needed for
work of this kind. Beyond this he is
a man under whom sailors like to
work, one who knows his business and
shows it from the start.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
a gentleman Of the city who is deeply
interested in the new yacht and has
made a large donation toward the fund
said:
II should feel very much satisfied If
the offer of Captain Macaulay is ac-
cepted. We all know him and he is
exactly the man that we want. He
is a Honolulu man in every sense Of
the word and 1 doubt if the yacht
committee could find a more compe-
tent man or one who would make more
friends while he has charge of the
boat. With man like the captain on
board the new schooner, it would mean
that she would be raced for every bit
that is In her."

MAKAPUU LIGHT
IS NEARLY READY

Within two, or at the most three,
months, the new lighthouse on Maka-
pun Point, which will have the most
powerful lens in the United States. will
be in operation. The plans for the
tower have arrived and the work on
the building will soon be started. oThe
three dwelling houses for the men who
will have. charge of the light have been
completed already and the lighthouse
itself is all that Is needed in the way
of building.
The one thing which. is at present
puzzling Captain Orwell, who as the
engineer officer for this section has
charge of the work, is in connection
with the water supply. For several
months he has been keeping track of
the rainfall at Makapuu Point, to see
whether the rain water which was
gathered from the roofs OF the build
ings would be enough for the needs of
the station. His experiments have
proved that hardly enough water could
be obtained in this manner to be de-
pended on and another source must be
found. A pumping plant, which win
force the water up from a well located
at lower level, will probably be used
and an investigation into this source
of supply is now being made.
A good many small Jobs in connec-
ton with the lighthouse work in these
islands are being attended to at pres
ent. When the little Inter-Island
steamer Kaiuiani leaves for Hawaii
today she will take gang of men TO
erect a dwelling house for the keeper
of the light at KaIae. The same sort
of work will be done at Keahole, on
that island. AID after that at Nc
Gregor's landing, Maui. A dwelling for
the keeper of the light at Koloa Point
on the island o. Kauai is also to be
erected in the near future.
