“FRIDAY EVENING, Published by the Press Publishing Company, No. 63 to 63 Park Row, New York. Entered at the Post-Office at New York as Second-Class Mali Matter. VOLUME 48........0.sseeceeeseeessNO. 18,284, f COLLEGE BRAWN AND BRAINS. |» Prof Shaler, at the Harvard commencement, “con- \ ‘emned ihe prominence of athletics’” in college life. The President of Williams pai Sis respects to “hygelolatry,” or the worship of health. Before the University of Pennsylvania seniors Dr. Weir Mitchell congratulated himself and his surviving clasemates that in their day eollege sports were “less violent’ than now. Other greduating classes all through the land aro listening to , Febukes of like tenor. Yet when we call to mind the hale young men who 1 are racing on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie to-day, and ~ especially the forty-eight youths of “prominence in ath- Jetics” who are contesting in the four-mile race for the # Towing supremacy of the river, the picked oarsmen of Oornell and Columbia and Pennsylvania and Syracuse ig and Georgetown and Wisconsin, they somehow excite our admiration to a greater degree than do the “average” t» men of their classes, who have gone through college with * @ little learning, a ttle athletics, a little dissipation, Iukewarm and mediocre, Laodiceans all. Or than the » Pale student, whose “parchment” is ornate with certifi- cates of proficiency in collegiate courses of study, but whose chest betokens a future exile to the Adirondacks, ‘oe For one thing, those forty-eight are not going to > break down at forty from dyspepsia or the kindred dis- eases of early middle life. They are fine specimens of physical manhood, good to look upon for their brawn and Anspiring our confidence in their brains because of the firm bodily foundation prepared for the mental super- structure. Probably in the years to come we shall not “© find them developed into apostles of the higher learning, _ “{ though President Eliot, of Harvard, may be recalled as “» & old oarsman, and Prof. I’. J. Furniyal, great among English scholars. But it is a confident expectation that they will figure largely in the activities of life as trust presidents, or the -* executive heads of great enterprises, or as engineers or _ f &@mbassadors or corporation attorneys. For, in addition © to acquiring a sound physique, they have learned valuable "lessons not taught in the text-books. They have learned self-reliance and gained a knowledge of their own pow- © ers and limitations as compared with those of other men, They have acquired the rudiments of that administrative capacity which ex-President White wants taught*specially at college. They emerge from the college cloister into the outer world miles ahead of the midnight student in e*. acquaintance with affairs and in grasp and polse. And 2° im that pre-eminence Iles the main hope of their success. TRANSFER REFUSALS AGAIN. Interurban car conductors when they vouchsafe the passenger any explanation of their refusal to give trans- fers at intersecting points say that they are “acting ac- cording to orders.” Is not the issuance of such orders © evidence of contempt for the law on the pant of the trac- tion company’s management? ~ In the cases that have come up to them for decision on the question of the obligation resting on the railroad to grant transfers to intersecting lines the Judges In the Bupreme Court have rendered verdicts against the road. 2 The road's withdrawal of its appeal to the Appellate! ® Division of the Court leaves those decisions, specifically + those in the Stolbrand and Blume suits, the law. Yet the desisions are daily defied by the road, obvious- ly in the expectation that the number of passengers ~ ready to aseume the expense and trouble of prosecuting a g mit for damages will be too few to make the fines !m- a Posed a draft on tho company's treasury comparable in extent with that of a free grant of transfers where asked. This very manifest policy of nullifying the verdict against it places the company conspicuously in contempt of court, RAINY-DAY LOSSES. * The influence for good or ill on business of the pro- longed spell of wet weather is not confined to the straw » hat and umbrella trade, the seaside hotel-keeper and the © farmer. It shows itself oddly in the diminished sale of _ Sugar, a staple of trade in which fluctuations are com- paratively infrequent. ‘ It is In summer that the demand for sugar is greatest. »* It is piled in heaping spoonfuls on berries, the demand for iee-cream soda calls for quantities of it; the hokey-pokey ™man and the lemonade vender use it freely, A three » Weeks’ loss of trade in these small industries reacts on the retailer and reaches back “higher up" to an appre- clable extent. % The losses suffered by summer-resort proprietors -g) and open-air amusement purveyors, seaside vaudeville managers, tintype artists, the keepers of bath-houses and rifle galleries, the frankfurter man, and in baseball or on ' the race track are in the aggregate very great. Is there a ey correspondingly Jarge saving of the dollars that were to ‘Phe spoat but'the opportunity for spending which was re- " femoved by the rain? Will the banks show a larger sur- “plus or will some other tradesmen capture the cash thus diverted from its original destination? 3 * It 1s @ question easily answered. THE DETECTIVE’S REVOLVER. Once more the detective's ready revolver is “flashed” in a crowded street. a shot is fired and the bullet reaches its usual destination, the body of an innocent bystander. | 4), The detective was chasing a man suspected of theft, and *- we have his explanation that the revolver went off “ac- + eldentally;” he had taken it out of his pocket into his hand for safe-keeping and was replacing it, still on the Bicttte {time for the cartridge to act so; but its deed in done, the i viotim fs in the hospital desperately wounded and the ex- Planation does not quite eatisty. - A man who carries a “gun” grows attached to it, the President has ruled, aud not te 1. coddled. | ef public watchfulness of j Branted beginning of one of our great cslebra- ) Geath-inyiting privileges in years gone by should ton: Possible, to abandon them.
