the Wall street OF the future be? Not
only here, but throughout the coun-
try. where because of the investiga-
tons involving 1t, this famous street
OF gold is the subject Of never end
yersation, many men are quietly ASK
ing themselves this question. AS yet
the answer has not been found excep.
that the men who see the situation
most clearly agree that it will be
something very different from what
it is at present. That almost any.
thing may happen in half century
is shown by the changes which have
taken place in this famous street
since the time even of the Civil war.
And curiously enough even the com,
paratiyely recent history Of this
street is almost as unknown as is It's
future. Yet ever since 1853 when /.
wooden wall gave the thoroughfare
Its name, its story has been one Of
constant and changing interest. Signs
and portents of the present day IN,
noticed by many point to equally Inn
portant changes in the future. But
the question remains what will
these changes be?

STREETS PLUNeING FEATURES

Princeton, ". J., Oct. 1S.-The Tigers
ran away with the stubborn Syracuse
eleven today, Is to o.. Streit and Baker
were the Princeton stars. as had been
expected. 'Hobey" eluded the Syracuse
ends for gains time and again, while
STREET averaged 10 yards on each OF his
line plunges. scoring both touchdowns
for his team.
The Tigers started things their way
from the kick-off Baker kicked TO
Farber. who was downed in his tracks.
Then he ran back the punt 10 yards.
STREET. made 10 yards on plunge, but
Bakers poor punt gave the visitors the
ball on Princeton's 45-yard mark.
Click intercepted forward pass, and
then the Tigers marched steadily down
the field to the 5yard line, where SYRIA
cuse held.
In the second period STREET. began his
series of line plunges. which resulted
in a touchdown. Baker kicked goal
Five minutes later, following two end
runs for Is and 10 yards. by Baker and
Click, STREET. again crossed the line, but
the try for goal failed.
Both teams punted often in the third
period, Hammond showing up well COW
ering punts for the Tigers. The vis-
itors gained a first down in this period
on a pretty fake kick play. The ball
see- sawed up and down the field in the
last period, the Tigers failing several
times on attempted forward passes.
The game ended with the ball in the
center of the field -

Tommy Murphy. the New York scrapper.
to all parts of the ring in their ten
round bout here last night.
Mcfarland so far outclassed Murphy
who was expected to put up a great light.
The affair was a joke after the first
round. Murphy was helpless before Nc
Farland's dazzling speed and superior
ring ability. The Chicago boy could have
knocked Murphy out in the fourth round
or in any OF the succeeding rounds at
any time he chose, but he contented him
self with merely jabbing Murphy into a
semi-helpiess condition and then slapping
his opponents bruised and bleeding face.

ECCENTRIClTY OF GENIUS.
In the Days That Are Gone II May
Have Been Due to Eye Strain

1t seems that at last genius is dis
covered not to be allied to insanity. but
that rather all it's ecccntricities are due
to eye strain.
Brain specialists. for instance. are as
serting that If Carlyle had had proper
ly adjusted glasses and good electric
light to work by instead of Il Skyiight
over his desk. and that illumned by a
would not have been such Il grumbler
and dyspeptic. In fact. eve strain was
the cause of all his eccentIcities.
All geniuSeS, IN fact. would have
been optimistic, says science now, if
they had only had bifocal glasses at
the right time The same unnormal
eyesight is given rs the cause of many
tragic paintings. That famous artist,
Turner would never have painted the
slave ship in a storm. but would rather
have depicted the peaceful landscapes
that so many artists paint when their
eyes are properly fitted with glasses.
Wagner. too. if he had worn the cor
rect spectacles and had bad that decid-
ed tilt to one eye remedied. probably
would never have written about Wal
kyrie and dragons. but would have
written pleasant dances and even
ragtime instead
Darwin also was another victim of
eye strain Doubtless he would never
have given to the world his theory of
evolution which stirred society up If
his eyes had been normal.
De Quincey suffered from bad eyes.
Surely he would never have taken
opium if he had had glasses. But
then, on the other hand the world
would have missed his opium dreams
And, after all is considered, scientists
conclude society could better dispense
with spectacles than with geniuses.-

HISTORIC NOTRE DAME.
Checkered Career of the Wonderful
Partisan Cathedral.

FariSlan Cathedral.
Some account of the history and
vicissitudes of Notre Dame appears In
the London Strand Magazine. The
FIRST cathedral was erected In the year
528 by Childebert and afterwam de
molished the same site being used for
the present building. which was begun
in 1853 and finished in 1851.
Alexander III. laid the foundation
stone, the first mass being celebrated
by the patriarch Heraclius. The grand
old building has been sorely beset by
many dangers and has witnessed many
strange and stirring scenes.
The reign of terror In 1893 led ia
such disgraceful orgies within the pre-,
cincts of the cathedral that it was
closed to the public as a place of di-
vine worship in 1894. but was reopen
ed in 1902 by Napoleon The interior
has suffered severely at times at the
hands of the mob and individuals
The worst offender was perhaps Louis
XIV. who, carrying out his fathers
vow caused the destruction of the
fourteenth century stalls, the high al
tar embellished with gold and silver
statuettes, the cloisters. tombs and
unique stained glasswork. In 1845
restoration was necessary in many
parts OF the building. the work being
successfully undertaken by Lassus.
Violet lie Due and Boeswillwald
In 1871, also during the commune,
Notre Dame was menaced with grave
dangers owing to the fury of the
communists. who, having effected an
entrance, collected all the available
chairs and other combustbe material
and, piling them in a bonfire, drench-
ed with oil in the center of the choir,
attempted to destroy the cathedral
by fire The evil designs of the in
cendiaries were. however. happily
frustrated by the arrival OF the ma
tional guard
