STRANGE REQUEST OF QUAKER
SPINSTRESS WILL BE RE-
FUSED BY COLLEGE.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-The
will of Miss Anna T. Jeanes, who was
born Quaker and died Buddhist
at the Friends home in this city last
week, has astonished all who knew
her quite as much as did her spon-
taneous gift of S1,000,000 TO Booker
T. Washington for Tuskegee insti-
tute.
This remarkable woman, who
wrote a book on Buddhism, and who
leaves requests of s5,000,000, has
left 100000 to Swarthmore col
lege in Swarthmore, Pa, on the IRON
clad condition that the conege re-
frain from taking part in all inter-
collegiate sports and that its faculty
eliminate all athletics.
Joseph Wharton, the millionaire
president of the college, has called a
meeting of the board of trustees for
tomorrow to consider the gife, but he
said tonight that in all probability it
would be declined, as Swarthmore
does not wish to go on record as ban
ishing athletics.

are to promote the culture of peanuts
along conservative lines, and to con-
troll the price by holding peanuts off
the market until the trade will pay
profitable prices. A system of ware
houses, similar to those established
by cotton planters, is being inaugural
ed and will enable gorwers to store
the crop and secure money on it to
meet his obligations.
According to the statement of Sec
rotary Gilbert, of Pendleton, N. c.,
the peanut is grown commercially on
every continent of the world, the
United States alone producing $780,
100000 pounds annually.
The peanut, it is said, can be grown
successfully in every section where
corn is successful. Every part of the
plant is now used, the vines being
better than timothy hay as feed for
horses, cattle and sheep.
In America the production ranges
from 40 to 100 bushels of nuts and
from to tons of hay per acre. New
uses for the nuts are constantly being
found and the demand is reported to
be constantly increasing.

Muskogee, l. T.. September 26-
Memorial services will be held by the
redskins of the Creek nation today
in honor of their great chief, the late
General Pleasant Porter, who died at
Vinita early this month. Had General
Porter, whom President Roosevelt
called the greatest American Indian, "
lived until today, he would have been
66 years of age.
The famous chief of the Creeks
was born near GAINESVILLE, l. T., Sep
TENDER 26, 1871. AS a boy he &C
quired fair education, attending for
a time the Presbyterian mission at
Tulla hasse.
When a young man he entered the
Confederate service and served
throughout the war with the greatest
distinction, retiring at the end of the

took part in the battles
HE~le, in Arkansas; Wilson S
Missouri; and numerous
other engagements.
During his life General Porter was
enormously described as a millionaire,
and many fables have been told by
imaginative newspaper writer's as to
his wealth and freakish philanthropy.
That he distributed his money with a
free hand is true, and his death found
him comparatively a poor man. He
might have been a multi-millionaire
bad he so chosen, had not the charity
of his nature prevented.
General Porter was profoundly
versed in the history of his people and
spent his declining years in writing
book about the Creeks and their
wanderings in America, which was
incomplete when death overlook him
He knew all the aboriginal stories and
legends of the American Indians, and
the literary material he has left will
be of incalculable value to ethnolog
lists.
Politically, General Porter was dis
tinctively modern and his last mes
sage to his people pointed out the

man went to unusual lengths. A
friend of Mr.. Wagner found the man
dead drunk, looked him over and
called three other able-bodied men,
and they carried the limp form Sec
reilly to Mr.. Wagner's home.
Every time they stopped to rest,
they wondered at Gus They came
to the conclusion that some one must
have "doped' him. They reached
the Wagner home and couple of
members of the family took fleeing
glances at the unfortunate drunk, and
fled to seclusion, leaving the four to
carry the burden to Mr.. Wagper's
bed room.
"A short time, Mr.. Wagner himself
sober, as he has always been, walked
into the midst of his aggrieved fam
lily. He gathered a bit of what was
doing and went upstairs three steps
at time. He came down slower,
Dragging an unconscious drunk. The
soft bed was soon replaced by the
hard side of police station plank,
and and Monday morning the man,
who said he came from New Rochelle,
paid IS fine and went away.
All efforts to keep the matter quiet
failed and today the story was told
all over town.
