1O2 YEARS OLD.
Mrs. Mary A, Smith Of
CaSCo Celebrates Birthday.
Confined 10 Room but Faculties
Show Youthful AIeItness.
Has Never Seen a Train Of Cars
In Portland Only Once.

Caslo, Me. Feb. 19-Mrs. Mary Ann
Smith will celebrate her led birth
day here next Monday and aside from
her great age, is a most remarkable
wop1an. Although confined to her
room, her memory is well-nigh per-
feet and she is an authority in fam
lily and town history.
Her maiden name was Walker and
when is years old she was married to
Peco Jordan of Casco. They lived on
the home farm and cared for her pa
rents until their death. Mr.. Jordan
died more than 60 years ago, and in
! 1872 she married Seba Smith. who
died in 1891.
| Ne children We're born to her, but a
girl and boy were adopted many
years ago, the daughter dying in 1861.
The son, Charles Z. Pc ry, after the
death of Mr. Smith moved his family
To the farm and has since cared kind
ly for his foster mother.
Among some of the remarkable
things about Mrs. Smith is that she
has never left her home for an entire
night, except when caring for sick
neighbors. She has never been in
Portland, "a miles distant, but once.
That was 30 years ago, when she was
summoned as witness in a boundary
line suit and left her home by team
SHORTY after midnight. returning the
next night at about the same time.
She has never seen a train Of cars
or the railroad. Until her son came
to live with her she had always spun,
woven, cut and made all her clothing
Her dresses We're all fashioned by the
same pattern until the present time.
She has always enjoyed perfect
health Until 10 years ago, she suffer-
ed a slight shock Of paralysis, since
which she has been confined to her
room but able until the last year to
sew. knit and read She is unable now
to leave her bed but except as u hear
ing her faculties are unimpaired.
She oftcn refers TO her early life and
mentions with pride the fact that she
| assisted in the building of every rod
| of stone wall on the farm. She is a
| woman of sweet. unselfish nature, that
| the years do not change, and derives
| much comfort in the reading Of her
Bible, which she keeps close at hand
| and is able to read without the aid of
glasses.

REVISED FOOTBALL RULES
Are Approved by Pres. Lowell Of Har'
vard-Hs Statement.

Baston, Feb. 19.-The revised foot
,aIl rules have met with the approval
ot tresid mt A. Lawrence Lowell OF
harvard University In his annual
report to the board of overseers OF the
uni, ersity, made public tonight Fresi-
dent Lowell says. regarding football:
The well-nigh universal feeling
that intercollegiate games of football
were too dangerous to life and limb
has resulted in an effective revision OF
the rules These have not, perhaps,
been in operation long enough to pro-
duce their ultimate results, and II
would seem that the teams in some OF
the colleges have not yet become ae-
customed to them, but the changes
have certainly not made the game
less interesting spectacle, and among
Harvard players. at least, the injuries
have been greatly reduced, both in
number and gravity"
In his report, President Lowell re-
fers TO the new rules governing the
choice of electives and refers also to
the inability of many OF the students
TO read French and German with the
proficiency desired by the college au-
thorities. He discussed the effect of
rank in college on the standing in the
professional schools, quoting the re-
suits of the observations made and
concluding thus: Clearly the good
scholar is usually good scholar as
boy, as an undergraduate. and in the
professional school; and the loafer in
college who distinguishes himself
highly in the study of his profession is
more common in fancy than in fact.
In his concluding paragraph. Presi-
dent Lowell states that the past year
ended with deficit of more than $780,
600. AN opinion appears to be
prevalent" said President Lowell,
that Harvard is rich institution
which has only to ask for money in
order to obtain it in limitless amounts,
but unfortunately the work she is do
ing today exceeds her resources,
even with the most rigid economy
Owing mainly to normal increase in
the roll of salaries. the deficit is in
creasing. Last year there were some
extraordinary expenses that will not
recur, but when these are deducted,
and allowance is made for the ap-
parent loss of income due to q change
in the date of closing the fiscal year
from the end Of July to the end of
June, the deficit for the University,
College and Library was $4,000 We
are trying to be as economical as
possible. but in university where the
chief source of expense is the salary of
instructors, it is impossible to make
reductions rapidly, even if that could
be done without impairing the value
of it's work"
