 Eliot, late president of Harvard Uni-

He saw signs of revival in his recent visit to the South. saThere is still in the South.' pr. Eliot said.

Is rapidly disappearing, and believe soon the South will again be sending her quota of men to Harvard and the North" It had always been custom in the South. until 1t was interrupted by the var fo send many boys to Northern abundance of good colleges in the South. but in order. perhaps. that the boys might get the benent of a more lnyigorating climate and opportunities for getting new ideas by mixing with the people Of other States. The Hon. Prentiss Poe has favored The Sun with some figures and statistics that Ire gathered from the census of 1860 which are most interesting in connection with Dr. Eliot's remarks. From these fig- ures 1t appears that in 1860 there were three times as many collegiate insti- tutions in the Southern States as in the Middle and New England States conn bined. about twice as many teachers and nearly twice as many students.

ties of roses freshly pruned, as the sap of spring had not produced their fo- iiage yet. Below this garden in the valley is the bowling green. The swimming pool. the Alabama log cabin both house,. and the tennis court Then laying to the north and east Is a lovely grove, where many trees of Ala bama type are found. As we streiled through this grove the grey squirrels sprang from tree to tree. The only sad feature was that MT. Chambers had to remove the large chestnuts, as they were being killed by bacteria. as happened in Alabama several years ago.
 Returning we approached from the south. climbing long. steep slope about 300 feet long and perhaps 100 feet high. passing beneath lovely grove of elm and hedge of rodaden- don.
 To describe the castle home would be like relating a dream of royalty. It Is three stories In height, heated by a furnace, with every convenience and attraction that mortal could imagine or wish. A lovely feature is the con- servatory adjoining the par1or. where Mrs. Chambers has many beautiful flow CTS, ferns and palms. You may imag- inc the pleasant evening we spent with these very gracious people. who exen- plfIy the t0edllZeQ 6OutneIu When 1t came time to feast. which Mrs. Chambers called the old-fashioned southern tea but which resembled more a feast of the gods. all would have passed quietly and beautifully had it not been for an accident that caused my good friend Doster to suffer from his characteristic profuse blush- ing, which happened thus: Professor Doster was seated at the table be- tween two beautiful young ladies Of course he was somewhat excited and his feet wandered away from his chair and one of them came in contact with the press button in the floor in front of Mrs. Chambers station.
 Consequently. every time he passed his plate for chicken, beef or every time he reached for hot toast or buns or jam his foot would press the but ton and the waitress would respond. She came so often and found no one to serve that 1t became noticeable. and we were about agreed that she was fascinated with one of the guests. but instead it was found that Professor Doster was the cause and was register ing his needs.
 The mistake was laughed away the evening pleasantly spent. with Profes- sor Doster in the library reviewing tho great educational progress of Ala bama, which is q wonder of the cen- tury to our more progressive friends. while I was In the parlor with the young people. as you would naturally expect, and the time came too early for us to depart.

 Dr. Cell traced the Great Wall . distance Of 1900 miles from the. coast to the northern border of Thibet, dts- covering about 200 miles of the wall that had not yet been mapped. He found evidences. he said. of the exfs- tence of at least ten great walls apart from the famous one.
 Dr. Cell confirmed reports of the ex- istence of a wild race of Chinese pig mics in the mountains north of the wall, where they have dweit for twen- ty centuries. There wore twenty-five msr, In the expidition along the Great Wall. The explorers found no less than ten varieties of the Chinese lan- guaEe in their travles. but managed with the assistance of interpreters to get along without trouble.
 "The ambition of Chinese to form big army has made wonderful pro gress," said pr. Cell. Tn every little hamlet one can see squads of China men drilling several hours each day. I believe the Chinese will be able to turn 100000 well-drilled men in the field within a very few vears."

BY HILARY HERBERT HOLMES.
 Thsre was time not long ago when New York seemed a, long way from passing away. Indeed. 1t seems now only a few hours distant. since can leave New York. pass through Phila- delphia, Baltimore. Washington and Atlanta, and arrive in fair old Mont gomery in twenty-nine hours.
 There was time. also. when an Ala bamian would have felt lonesome in this great metropolis. That time has long passed. Almost in any section of this city you can meet up with Ala bamians. In Columbia University we have W. w. Dennis of OalSdale. Donald Kirk of Mobile, J. W. Beard of Troy, T. B. Hubbard of Montgomery. Misses E. A. Randolph of Anniston and Byrd venson of Georgiana. and others.
 But what would be of interest to many AIabamians would be a descrip- tion of the beautiful home of Mir. Frank R Chambers. who was born in old Mobile. spent his young manhood at wetunpka and married an elegant lady of Montgomery. Mfr. Chambers today is one of the wealthiest and most popular phiisnthropists of New York. He is president of Rogers. Pete s& Co, vice-ehairman and member of
 
 College of Columbia University. q member of the General Education Board, the Carnegie Foundation and q score of minor positions.
 Prof. J. J. Doster of the University of Alabama spent the month of March on Morningside Heights. Two Sundays past Doster and accepted an invita- ton to spend the afternoon and even ing with Mir. Chambers in his elegant home at Bronxvilie. From Columbia station we took subway express train to the Grand Central depot. where we boarded one of the lovely cara of the New York Central elevated motor trains. We were soon at BronxvilIe. sixteen miles away. in the foothills of the Catskills, and in short time we were the guests of the Chambers in their elegant castle home. The air was clear and bracing. too tempting to remain indoors. Miss Marguerite, who was at homo on her Easter vacation from vassar with delightful guest, took us out to view the pleasant en- yirons First we meandered through the walks strewn with hyacinths and lilies, to the garden. which nestles about the eastern edge of the lofty ei- ovation upon which the house is build ed.

NEW SOUTHERN POLICY. If Mfr. Taft Eliminates the Blacks d xxyslI neueMt ROth Races.

N@@~+~A@"
 Will Benefit Both Races.
 New York Times.
 These was nothing very definite in the address of Mir. Dickinson. President Tafgt's Secretary of War, last week to the relation to The South but the spirit of 1t was patriotic. and 1t can hardly fail to have good effect. IL was in substance message of good will the hearty expression of the de- sire of the administration to cooperate with the leaders of the South in ad- vancing the interests of that section in common with the interests Of the whole country
 There can be no doubt of the sim cerity of this desire on the part or the President, and there is just as little that 1t will largely be reciprocated Tn the South. The President has already given practical evidence of his consid- aration of the sentiment of the South ern whites in the policy he has an- nounced as to the appointment or col ored Republicans to office in that sec tion. We think 1t a wise policy, be- cause such appointments in the past have done harm and not good to the colored race, and because so Tar As regards the whites. they only aggra- vated the prejudice against the ne- groes and complicated the difnculties of life for both races. Moreover, the appointment of negroes. even the pest of them. was necessarily mixed up with the maintenance of the Repubh- can party organization in the South -a helplessly and hopelessly corrupt affair. directed toward the control of delegates and the partition of patron age. and not at all toward the win ming of elections.
 Aa A matter of fact, it Is this organ ization that Is the kernel of the whole Southern question for the eolored off, hceholders deprives 1t of much of It's power for mischief, A very careful remodeling of white apointments VIII be required to complete the work. Perhaps 1t is too much to ask the President to "cut out" the orEaniza- ton altogether and to make all his appointments in the South solely with reference to the character and eftAcien- cy of the service. but the nearer he comes to this common sense, just and husinessliko ideal of the service the better 1t will be for all concerned.
 The better 1t will be, especially, for the Republican party in the South, for such a policy. firmly and honestly ear- ried out. would relieve the party there of tho odium of being solely a place. hunting organization. It would make 1t possible for seIf-respecting white men in the South to join the party when they agreed with its national or State or local aims, or when they sought an effective agency to oppose the dominant party. Up to the pre- sent time the Republican party In the South has been closely identified with officeholding and with the negro vote led by negro oflceholders.
