T. Noonan of Illinois 1g authority for this statement. He says the Cubans, through their fellow-country- men and ¢fympathizers, have already received the promise of more than 10 Winchester rifles of 44-caliber, to be de- livered at any time, and that they are only waiting for an opportunity to ship them before they ask for the delivery. It is claimed this is only a beginning, and that the patriots expect to procure in Chicago a large amount both of rifles and ammu- niticn. The effort is being made to secure as many of these kind of rifles as possible and distribute them to all of the Cuban sympathizers. 5 ——__+e+____ Sterfes for Saturday. Saturday's Star will contain complete an- other of Anthony Hope's charming tales of the heart of Princess Osra, entitled “The Love of the Prince of Glottenburg.”” In ad- dition, there will be printed the concluding portion of the story, “The Foundry Fore- man,” by J.

At a meeting of the trustees of Colby University Monday afternoon, Prof. Na- thaniel Butler of the University of Chicago was unanimously elected president of Col- by. Prof. Butler is a son of Colby, having graduated in 1873. He will succeed Pres!- dent Whitman, who recently resigned to ac- cept the presidency of Columbian Univer- y in this city.

Dd. w Pro: Gord The first game between the Clevelands and the Baltimores for the Temple cup is Played this afternoon at Cleveland. The Baltimores arrived there yesterday after- noon. Breakfast was taken at Buffalo, and all showed excellent appetites. The weather fs a little cool, but it fs clear end bracing, and the prospects are for im- mense attendance at the game. Reserved seats are sold for $1 each, and excursion trains will run into the city on each of the playing days. The Cleveland papers prom- ise that the home club will give the Orioles a surprise. Neither Manager Hanlon nor Manazer Tebeau would say last night who would pitch. Each preferred to wait and see what the other side would do. It would net be surprising, however, if McMahon and Young started in on the rubber. Both teams are confident of victory, and the struggle is sure to be a bitter one. The two-time champions are accompanied by a number of rooters from Baltimore and elsewhere, who make the corridors of the Hollenden Hotel gaudy with their display of orange and black. The visitors are maintaining the rules of training which they observed through the championship season, and are not un- duly celebrating their glorious victory. Considerabie petting on the result of the series is being done, mostly at even money. Keefe and Hurst are ready to umpire the first game, and Emslie is expected before the game starts today. The contests will be played under the rules laid down by the league’s committee on the series, and the players will be subject to fines, just as they are in leazue contests, the fines to be deducted from their shares of the receipts. Any player being put out of any game by the umpire will nct be eligible to play in any succeeding contest. The winners will get GO per cent of the receipts and the losers 40 per cent, instead of 65 and 35, as the plan last year. Just before the Raltimores left New York for Cleveland Amos Rusie and Jouett Meekin came to them. Rusie vould lke a little talk with Kelley Meckin wanted, likewise, a chat with ( son. At the end of the interviews Joe and the “Kid wore contented looks on thelr faces, while Rusfe and Meekin looked like men who had dene a good act. ‘The little interviews resulted paying over to Kelley and Meekin over to zleason the last penny they owed of thelr share in the last Temple cup games. Kel- ley and Gleason thanked Rusie and Meekin for the'r squareness last year. ‘All of the champions have now received their share of the Temple eup series ex- cepting Keeler, who is paired with Doyle, and McGraw, who ts paired with Davis. FOOT BALL in Rusle SON OPE! Pennaylvania Defeats Swarthmore by 40 to 0. The University of Pennsylvania won its first foot ball game of the season y: y from Swerthmcre by the score of 10 to 0. Two halves were played, of twenty and ff- teen minutes’ length, respectively. Penn- sylvania played a strong game and tackled hard. Curtis, left end of the Swarthmore team, had his shoulder dislocated. Three Foot Ball Players E ‘The faculty of Princeton has p: lutions prohibiting any student having con- ditions in his college work from playing on any athletic team. It is found that six of the eleven men now on the team will be compelled to retire from the game until they have made up all delinquent work. Riggs, Cochran, Bannard, Suter, Ay and Baird will not be allowed to play, while the majority of the second eleven will be com- pelled to withdraw. In the practice yesterday Cochran broke his nose, Armstrong bruised his knee and was carried from the field, and Capt.

From present indications it looks as if the Orange, N. J., Athletic Club foot ball team, the crack non-collegian team, would go into the field this fall with practically the same eleven that played last year and wrested the championship pennant from the Crescent Athletic Club of Brooklyn. The report that Trenchard would be on the Orange team this year was erroneous, and the only change from the personnel of last season’s team will he the full back, and Marshall who played the position with dis- tinction some years ago, but who has of late been playing In the line, may be as- signed to the place, or it may go to Shields formerly of the Columbia Athletic Club of Washington. Newport Links in G Condition, but Little Championship Play Se: The first tournament of the National Golf Association or on the Newpcrt links, which were in fine condition, The day developed hardly any real championship play, pessibly because a strong man was drawn against a poor one. Some good men went down, notably vote. ‘he fight management has enough strength in the house to defeat the meas- ure today, and they will try their best to force a vote immediately. The twenty populists in the house cau- cused early this morning, and it is learned that they will vote against the emergency clause in order to down a democratic gov- ernor and administration. _ They do not want to vote solid unless absolutely neces- sary, but they pledged that they would be responsible for the defeat of the emergency clause, even if it required a solid vote. Quite an additional batch of lobbyists, in- cluding preachers and lawyers, arrived on the scene this morning to take issues, and the fight is waxing hot. One of the bills against prize fights Intro- duced in the Texas legislature yesterday by Senator Lewis is recognized as the adminis- tration bill, and prescribes that a fistic en- counter between man and man shall be deemed a felony, and shall be punished by an imprisonment of not less than one or more than five years. The other bill, pre- pared by Senator Simpson, provides for an imprisonment trom five to ten years. As the situation now stands the fight management have given up all hopes in the senate, but they have eighteen solid men in the house, and at present these eighteen can block the passage of any measure. The matter of the enactment of en anti-prize fight law has narrowed down to a political row between the administra- tion and anti-administration crowd, ard the Florida Athletic Club has been rele- gated to the rear. The fight promises to Le a very bitter one. ‘The Florida Athletic Club has secured, by telegraph, en option on the amphitheater and arena used for bull fighting In New Laredo, Mex. This would seem to indicate that the fight will be pulled off there. The eption is for one month. CORBETT Is LOQUACTIOUS. He Talks About the Coming Fight and Severn] Other Things. Pugilist James J. Corbett stopped over in Washirgton yesterday evening on his way to Dallas, Tex. He was accompanied by his second wife acd Backer Brady. He flayed in a base ball game at National Park. The prize fighter was loquacious on the subject of his projected meeting with Fitz- simmons and all the interesting questions growing out of it. He acknowledged that he regarded the coming fight with Fitz- simmons as the hardest one of his life, and declared he was taking care of himself and training for it with that idea in view. He detied that he had a sprained knee or any- thing the matter with his limbs or joints, saying he was perfectly sound, never felt better In his life: He denied also that he was drinking, and asserted that the sensational meeting, between Fitzsimmons and himself at Green's Hotel in Phila- delphia some weeks'ago was not, as eye- fewitne: 's had stated, an aitempt on tne g ~ party to foree a di culty with Fitzsiminons, but was brought about by the latteréing a little the worse fer liquor.

The first installment of the great mys- tery story, as Over," by Fred hod next Monday. m gold for the first correct lars in another column. Never in the seventy-four years of Co- lumbian Medical College's life has the pros- pect been as bright as it is this year. Last night the college opened with a new year. The exercises attending it took place in the main lecture hall of the university on H street. Shortly after § o'clock the fac- ulty, headed by the new president, Dr. Whitman, and Prof. Shute, dean of the faculty, marched into the room and took seats on the platform. The hall was crowd- ed, and as each professor made his appeur- ance he was greeted with cheers. Dr. J. Ford Thompson, pro<essor of surgery, who had been dangerously ill for some time, re- celved an ovation. Rev. Dr. RB. L. Whit- man, president of Columbian Un!versity, when introduced by Dr. Shute, was received with much enthusiasm. Dr. Whitman spoke a few minutes. The promise of the year, he said, was full of good things. The enrollment ‘n the collegiate department was larger than last year, and altogether the prospects of Columbian were indeed bright. He introduced Dr. W. W. Johnston, professor of the practice of medicine, who delivered the address to the students. Dr. Johnston also spoke ef the bright prospects of the university and {ts medical school un- der a new leader full of resources and vig- or. He spoke also of the changes in and additions to the medical faculty. Dr. John- ston spoke interestingly of the physician of the future, and enumerated the following as questions with which he would have to deal: 1, Education. 2. Charities, including the establishment and management of hos- pitals. 3. Sewerage and the water supplies of cities. 2. The drink question and inebri- ety. 5. The relation of heredity and the physical condition of the individual to crime and the prevention of it. Injudicious Education. “Education unlimited and injudicious,” he said, “education superficial and without any reference to the end in view, is one of the evils of the day. At the very starting point of education in this country there is a wrong, which no one has made any effort to correct, and yet it is at the foundation of much of the ill health and precocious de- generation of the young. I allude to the custom which exists in most of the states and territories of sending children to the public schools at the age of six years—and even at four or five years, as in Wisconsin —an age when the immature brain {fs un- fitted for intellectual work, and should be allowed the rest necessary for its proper development. Jersey City had 2,530 under six years in 1883-84, and Albany had 4,425 of the same age. “The system of education which awards & prize to pathological precocity, which stimulates the growth of an unhealthy im- agination, and which forces the fragile and the strong, the well and the diseased, to submit to the same invariable law of de- mand and supply, is not a system which can be called periect. Chere are here 40,000 children in the public schools, and there are 40,000 prob- lems presented. No two are alike, and how can the same process do for all? Under any uniform system it is nothing but the survival of the fittest; the weak in brain, in in eyes go to the wall; often the kept up to the end, and then there is a breakdown forever. A great step was made with the discovery that four per cent of the children in the lower classes in the schools and twenty-six in the higher classes had imperfect vision and needed glasses; that with glasses health was* better and brain work more active; but there is no uni- form study of the eyes of new scholars, and the evil is left to the parent to have cor- rected. Until there is a thorough medical inspection of the schools, until work bears some relation to health and strength, until, health comes first and learning atter, I do not see how things are to be any better than they are. But these questions are be- ing studied; we have a bureau of education whose special purpose it is to study them; great strides will be made in the future, but you must have, in the nature of your calling, much to do with this future. “The administration of hospital charity ard charities in general,” he said, “require krcwledge of social conditions, of statistics and of the experience of others; indiscrimi- nate chirity does more harm than good, ard, if undeserved, debases the people who receive it. The Drink Question. After speaking of the physicians’ rela- tions to the great problems concerning the public health, Dr. Johnston spoke of the drink question and inebriety. He said: “That the question is a serious one the chemist, the physiologist, the pathologist ure you; that It is your own duty it fairly, and to bring all the 1 aid you pi 8 to its solution, your own cons: ment and knowl edge will t respon rests upon you because the drink habit lie: at the reot of a large proporti e eases with which we have to de deri h of the with which the world is cur: We know that mary chronic disease: directly traceable to it; we know that e consti- tution thus enteepled is unable to cope with acute ln and that certain d as {acute pneumema, are tal { em bro! down with alcohol.

Baer of Berlin estimates that «0 per cent of all criminals are either inebriates or the children of inebriates. Corre of France and Virgilis of Italy at- tribute from 32 to 40 per cent of existing crime to the excessive use of alcohol in parents. “The depopulation of France is traced by cne author to the use of alcohol; in Cher- bourg, in France, the consumption {is repre- sented by over ¢ighteen quarts of alcohol annually for each individual. In Havre it is sixteen quarts, In Belgium twelve quarts and in Denmark fifteen quarts. The retail expenditure for spirits in England is about for each adult individual; in Russia in 1808 the tax on spirits brought in 21,000,000 roubles more than in 1892. “These facts and statistics are not taken from any book put forth as a temperance propaganda, but are from medical and Iit- erary journals and books, printed chiefly for circulation among those interested in medical and allied knowledge. “When the commission, of which the Hon, Seth Low is chairman, has completed the task which It has understaken of studying the effects of the moderate vse of alcohol, makes its report, we will have a body of facts which will be of great val- ue In regard to another aspect of the ques- tion. For although there is a unanimity of opinion as regards the danger from alco- holic excess; there is by no means an agreement as to the effect of moderate in- dulgence. As this inqniry is in the hands of men fitted to collect and sift the truth from the varying opinions held, we will be able to see what the preponderating opin- fon is, whether the world leans to the ad- vice of “Take a ttle wine’ or ‘Take none at all’ for thy health’s sake. But I should be very much surprised if this report does not show that there has been a great change in the views of medical men in the last 100 years, and if the moderate use of alcohol is not believed to be unnecessary, Mcknew’s TOMORROW.
