100000 GIFT
FOR PRINCETON
Largest Endowment Ever Made
University--Bequest Made
by F. S. Thompson.

PRINCETON, n. J., March IA
Princeton gets an estate which will
reach s9,OOO,00o by the will of Ferris
s. Thompson, of the class of 1888, at
Princeton, filed in the surrogate's
court of New York city yesterday.
1t comes at most opportune time,
when President John Grier Hibben is
starting out on the policy of expan-
sion and development. When the
news was announced at Princeton
President Hibben had the following
statement to make
"This unconditional gift, which as
-sures Princeton an immediate income
of at least $4,000 yearly for general
university purposes, is especially swel-
: come at this time. Princeton's gen
eral budget each year shows a deficit
of approximately $4,000 Mr.. Thomp-
sons handsome gift will greatly en-
courage the friends of Princeton in
their efforts to provide an adequate
central endowment, which is the uni
versity's most urgent need.
The gift, which provides for an
annual income of $4,000 and 1000
shares of Chase National Bank stock
worth 100000 Immediately, and al
the death of his wife, childless by
him, the entire residuary estate ex-
cept 100000, which goes to his chill
dren. This is sufficient to wipe out
the annual deficit under which the
university is run at present.
The gift is. the largest ever given
to Princeton and it is especially OPP

absolutely unattached The Wyman
estate of 50, 1000, and the Proctor
gift of 500, both of which were
made two years ago, were given with
the string that they should be APP
piled to the graduate college alone.
When President Hibben announced
In the fall his desire for a general
Endowment fund, it looked like a wild
dream, but thissgift puts a stability
under the outlook which is most ac-
: ceptable to all who are connected
with the university. The university
heads are very happy to learn that
the will was dated last October. only
a few months after President Hibben
had assumed the presidency and an

HARRY THAw's FATHER

Harry Thaw's father supposed to be
wonderfully lucky man He made strike after
strike in iron mining properties and everything
he touched turned to money. Was he lucky?
If he could have foreseen the consequences Of his
wealth to his family and his name-if some
power had withdrawn the curtain from the future
and showed to his Mortified eyes the tragedy
of his sons life and career-would he have
chosen to accumulate and leave behind him mil
lions of dollars? In all probability, If Harry
Thaw had been forced to work for his living, to
be able to spend only what he earned, he would
have been a decent and reasonably happy citi-
zen with wife and children and home. He has
natural brightness and capacity that would have
commanded a respectable income. Even If he
had gone wrong he would have disappeared
quietly AS it Is he is an evil and disgraceful
part of the history of his country and time.
Doubtless many man who has prayed and
striven for money and has been disappointed
and has resented the denial by Providence of
his desires has been delivered without his own
knowledge and against his will. from just such
hideous disaster as has come In this instance.
Begging for wealth, he has been asking for
streams of curses upon his own head and his
family. What he regarded bitterly as his failure
has been escape from amounted and poignant
miseries and degradation and the wors, calami-
ties that come upon human life,

Exit buffalo Bill"

There is something pathetic in the retirement
of Buffalo Bill william f. Cody, who recently
went into bankruptcy. 1t is reported that in
the assignment the famous old scout and show
man, now past seventy years of age, will claim
only his saddle, bride. few personal belong
ings and his buckskin suit, all the rest going
into the hands of the courts to be disposed of
for the benefit of the creditors. Even Isham,
the famous white horse which Cody had ridden
for over twenty years, goes into the list Of as
sets of the concern of which Major Gordon Lii
lie Is a partner Possibly Major Lille may agree
to let Bill have the old horse. which can now
have little more than a sentimental value, and
in that respect will be worth more to him than
to any other person.

Party Leadership

An unfortunate Change from a Democratic
point OF view, seems to have come over the
senate of the United States. The Republicans
seem to be getting together and the Democrats
getting apart.
Senator Kern does not develop any strong
qualities the general of the party" says Fos-
ter Murray. Washington correspondent of the
Norfolk Vrglnian-Pil land his idea of help
ing Chairman Simmons. of the finance
mittee, in the tariff fight is to introduce a noisy
sideshow in the shape of his West Virginia coal
strike investigation at the very time when the
administration is trying to keep the country's at
tention concentrated on the Underwood bill.
In floor management and debate in the senate
20 far in this congress the Republicans have
displayed superior generaship and confidence
and this applies to the executive sessions Of the
senate as well as to its open deliberations.
The fact that the minority has nothing to
lose accounts to extent for this phenom-
ena. but with all due allowance for the added
difficulty which responsibility brings, it is not
unjust to say that strong Democratic leadership
is needed in the upper congressional chamber,
and that Senator Kern does not hold his forces in
hand we'll did Senator Martin of Virginia,
who is not a speechmaker but has force as an
organizer.
AS the Virgnan-Pilot is not particularly
friendly to Senator Martin this statement has
that in our opinion the Democrats of the sem
ate made blunder when they deposed Martin
His ability as an organizer and party leader
has been so often demonstrated that it is be-
yond question, and this is the particular season
when the Democrats in need of expert
leadership.
A political party must have leaders as we'll as
principles It's leaders must be Of exeCu-
tive ability and of experience in party
manag and especially must they under
stand the fine art of handling men. The num-
Der OF Democrats possessing all these qualif-
cations few and far between and when the
party has such man in either branch of con-
gress, it is good party business to press him

With the State Press
A. B. Philpott.


Mr.. A. r. Philpou is the Democratic nominee
for the legislature in this country and Individual
preferences for the nomination should now give
way to a cordial support of the nominee. AS Is
suggested in the resolutions adopted by the con-
vention there is really no use in sending other
than a Democratic representative from this
country to the legislature for the assured Demo-
cratic majority in that body and its complete
control of legislative affairs this winter would
render a Republican Independent practically
useless and without real influence voice in
it's enactments.
Mr.. Philpotts recognized intelligence and ca
pacty and his ability to present his views In
clear and forceable way, his success a man
of affairs his practical common sense make
it certain that the county's interests and those
the people of the State will not suffer at his
hands He is a man of the people and can be
depended on to look after the peoples interests
As a candidate, Mr.. Phpott is particularly
popular in his section OF the county and his
standing among the voters in all parts of the
county is excellent. His wide acquaintance as
a minister of the gospel and as business man
will stand him in good stead in his campaign
and we expect to him elected by majority
of which he may be proud-Henry Bulletin.

Proud of Richmond

Where is the virginan who isn't proud OF
Richmond? Every individual born and reared
within the confines Of the State looks upon the
capital as a part of his personal estate. He
feels that he big share not only of the
legislative halls and other State property. but
of Main and Broad streets, the parks and boule-
wards, great business establishments and the
four hustling newspapers. Every word that he
reads of Richmonds growth gives him an i'm
preston OF prosperity Announcement of an
other skyscraper leads him to look at the stars
Announcement of business development makes
him square his shoulders and take a deeper
breath. Richmond lies close to his heart. and
though he lives in Roanoke. Lynchburg, or
any other wide-awake and ambitious city, he
feels that the race for municipal supremacy is
not with the capital. He always hopes that
Richmond some day will outstrip other South
ern cities and become in industry, population
and all useful activities the recognized and un-
questioned leader. Because of these things he
will read with deep Interest a special edition
Of the Richmond Virginian published Thursday
morning. The Virginfan gives world of facts
and figures showing what Richmond has done
tunes of various localities, establish
ments and homes, and presenting numerous at
tractively displayed advertisements 1t is great
and most readable production and the truths it
presents will make Virginia people prouder than
ever OF their capital city.~-Roan0ke World News
