GREAT SCHOOL FOR MEXICO.
Southern Republic In 1910 viii Open
tie First National University.

4
lie First National University.
'Tn 1910 Mexico VIII open its first
national university" said Professor
Manuel yeiasquez Andrade, an in
structor In physical training in the nor
NAL school Of Mexico City, who was
recently interviewed at the Ebbitt
House In Washington Professor An
drade came to Washington to confer
with the commissioner OF education
and to examine the public Fairgrounds
Of that city. He will visit several OF
the large colleges OF the east for the
purpose Of studying the athletics prac-
tced by the students of American col
leges. with view to adopting them IN
Mexico when the university is opened
there, says the Washington Post.
II have been In most OF the countries
Of Europe, where / studied physical
training and field athletics in connec.
ion with the principal universities OF
those countries" continued Professor
Andrade, "and am convinced that the
United States Is far ahead of all other
countries In this respect. The young
men who attend your colleges are bet
ter trained, more enthusiastic and bet
ter developed as a result of athletics
than those Of any place visited in
Europe, and this Is due, believe, to a
more advanced system Of physical
training. We hope In Mexico to estab-
lish the same sports In connection with
our university that are In vogue at
American colleges.
ut is mistake to believe that the
Mexicans go in for brutal forms of
sports, such as bull fighting. Your
people have a wrong impression. Bull
fights in Mexico are kept alive by the
patronage Of foreigners. At any ex.
hibition of this sort you can find 60
per cent of the spectators composed of
Americans, 25 per cent Of Spaniards
and the remaining Is per cent, per
haps, OF Mexicans. Bull fighting has
been practiced so long in Mexico that
1t has become monotonous to the ma.
tiyes. But the first thing an American
or other foreigner wants to see when
he arrives In our country is bull
fight. In this way 1t has been made
probably the most profitable form of
amusement in the country, so profitable
indeed that recently there was built in
the City Of Mexico what is perhaps
The most expensive and finest bull
lighting ring In the world. 1t cost In
che neighborhood Of $1.00O,OoO and has
seating capacity for $4,000 specta-
tors. Mexicans could not aaffo.d to
patronlze this sport If they desired.
Foreigners readily pay from S. to $40
for seat at bull fight"

HARD LUCK FOOTBALL TALE.
Princeton Player Overlooked In Yale
Game Loses $4,000.


AS a result Of oversight, it is said, on
the part of Princeton football coaches,
who intended but forgot to send young
Henry Buckingham, a son of Mem
phis banker, into the recent game
against Yale at New Haven, a small
fortune was lost by the husky boy who
claims Memphis as his home aud who
was tackle on Princeton's varsity foot
ball team, says a Memphis special dis
patch to the New York Times.
T. N. Buckingham, father of the boy,
promised him $1,000 If he made his
"P," Young Buckingham trained faith
fully and took part In every game but
the Yale game, which alone entities
the Princetonians to the coveted honor
1t Is said that Head Coach Roper in
tended sending Buckingham in during
the last half in place OF Left Tackle
Siegling so the young man could earn
the sum offered by the father. but the
sudden switch In the score from 10 to
0 In Princeton's favor In the first
half to 70 to 10 for Yale in the second
half demorallzed every one on the
Princeton side lines. so that subs were
forgotten and Buckingham was the
loser Young Buckingham while at
home for the holidays laughed at his
loss. He was injured In the Amherst
game, prior to which he had played
In every game Of the team.

Matter Of Faot.

A visitor from London found IN =

English perfectly well.
This Dutchman was smoking china
pipe Of remarkable size and beauty,
and the Londoner, an admirer and col,
lector Of such bric-a-brac, took the lib.
erty to comment upon it.
You could not stumble upon a pipe
like that every day." said the English
man.
The Dutchman took three or four
whiffs AZ the pipe and then slowly re-
moved 1t from his mouth.
Certainly not without breaking IT."

The PENNSYLVANIA graft is the re-
suit OF one party remaining unlnter.
ruptedly in power for years with the
backing OF big maiorities for the
tickets put up BY the grafters or po-
litical rings that control Pennsyl-
vania. The same is true of any state
under the same conditions. The best
governed states or other political
subdivisions Of the country are those
where the balance of power is about
equally divided. When people come
to see things that way they win not
be SO closely tied to the apron strings
of the political boss.

RABBITS FOR A cITYs POOR
Kansas Man Offers a Suggestion For q
Carload a Week.


Have the railroad companies furnish
a car and ask the persons living near
the railroad to kill rabbits. Have the
rabbits brought to the depots on a Ger.
tain day and loaded into a special car.
This is the plan r. A. Rogers Of Sell
den, Kan. suggests to the Salvation
Army. says the Kansas City Star. He
believes a carload Of rabbits could be
furnished each week for the poor OF
Kansas City.
Major Arthur Cass Of the Salvation
Army believes the plan to be a good
one, and he win ask the railroad com
panies to agree to the plan for trans.
porting the rabbits to Kansas City.
II satisfactory arrangements can be
made an appeal for rabbits will be sent

DIRECTED TO ADVERTISE FOR
BIDS FOR LAYING OF PAVE
MENT-OPENED NOV. 80.

The council last night passed the
ries of the proposed paving district,
and under the provisions of this res
oluti n the district as first consid-
cred has been decided upon The
only contention was in relation to
Ninth street, number of property
owners having appeared before the
council Friday and demonstrated
against this street being included in
the district. 1t was stated last
night a majority of the property
owners have not demonstrated
against the paving of this street,
and in considering remonstrances It
ic necessary to treat the same in
connection with the entire distric.
and not any particular street.
The important action of the coun-
Gil was the passage of motion d.
recting City Controller Nickerscn to
advertise for bids for laying the
street paving, curbs and cutters, the
bids to be opened November 80. The
invitations for bids will be prepar.
ed in such manner as any con-
tractor may submit proposals for the
grade work. the laying Of the curbs
or cutters. The laying of the pave
ment is confined to the bitulithic
companies, this material having
been selected by the council several
weeks ago, after a majority Of the
, property owners had petitioned for
this pavement.
The question OF street grade in
front of the new passenger depot
was determined last night by the
introduction of an ordinance that
provides for an elevation Of 16
inches for the street curb in front
of this property, the ordinance con-
tanning clause making the railroad
company responsible for any dam
ages received because of this eleva-
ton and providing for the proper
lighting Of the street at this point
by the railroad company.
c. J. Vassar appeared before tn
council and asked that grade TO-

was referred for investigation.
