SWARTHMORE ASKS

ADVICE AND GETS IT.

Undetermined Yet Whether to Accept Princely Sum From Aged Quaker Spinster for Abandoning Games.

Swartlimore, Pa., Dec. 4. At a meeting of the board ot managers of Swarthraore college, President Joseph Swain made a statement concerning the recent tentative bequest to the college by the late' Anna T. Jeanes. an aged Quaker spinster of Philadelphia. The Quaker institution was to receive coal lands valued, presumably, at $1.ik0,000 provided that every athletic sport was abolished from the college for all time. President Swain said that in the though that the question of accepting the bequest is one touching the policy of all the colleges and universities 4-f this and other countries, he had sent out twenty-five letters to representative presidents of colleges and universities, asking for their opinions. The questions were: "In your opinion, have the trustees of a college the right to bind for all time an institution of learning by sucu a restriction as the one mentioned in the foregoing? "If so if the principle of accepting conditional gifts be approved should 1he gift be accepted in case it amounts to SI.Om,no or more?" "If the gift should be $.jO.xio what then ? A summary of the answers shows the following results: Question No. 1 11 negative, 7 affirmative, 5 non-committal, 2 yes. legally; no, morally.

Question No. 2 13 negative; 7 affirmative, 4 non-committal, one unanswered. Question No. .'517 negative, tj non-committal. 4 unanswered. In presenting the matter President Swain said: ' "I doubt the wisdom of accepting without qualification the conditional gift, even if the property is worth ijW,:XMm;o or more. Uut I am even willing and anxious to try the experiment with the provision that the property revert to the executors of the estate of Anna T. Jeanes. in case the gift is

found after a fair trial to be of less value to the highest interest of the college than the lack of freedom of action of the board, which the condition of the will.

At the time the bequect was made public the. consensus of the opinion of the alumni was that it was worth j

$1,000,000 any time to beat Pennsylvania on the gridiron. The students were very much Jnterested in the outcome of the meeting and frequently visited the office of the registrar to see if anything had been done about the bequest. The girls seemed more bitter about the conditions of the will than the boys. The principal sports at Swartlimore are football, track athletics and lacrosse, the college having turned out many gridiron stars and lacrosse championship teams.

STATISTICS WILL AID MUCH

"The Red Mill." Of all the musical successes which were endorsed by New York the past season none stood out more boldly and continued throughout the entire year as did Charles Dillingham's production of the Henry U'ossom and Victor Herbert musical story, "The Red Mill," which, in point of audiences and business, has never been equaled In the metropolis by any musical nlay. The tone of refinement which pervades the modest and picturesque costuming, the interesting and clever story of two American tourists who have gone broke on a traveling trip, and who, after many complicated situations find themselves assisting in an escape from the mil!, form one of the most sensational stories ever given a musical setting. At the Gennett Friday night.

Stock Company at Phillips. Vaudeville will be suspended at the New Phillips next week and in its place will appear the Royal Stock company, which will begin its engagement on Monday afternoon and run throughout the week. The company has a line of standard plays and a number of vaudeville acts and the bill will be changed each night. The opening bill will be "Man of Power." Souvenirs will be given at the Wednesday matinee and ladies will be admitted free Monday night under the usual conditions. It has been a long time since the New Phillips aas had a stock company and it is believed it will be found a popular move.

Vaudeville at the Phillips. Those who care for vaudeville would do well to see this week's bill as there will not be another presented for some weeks. Next week stock will be offered and the week before Christmas the house will be closed. Friends of Miss Bass and Mr. Gibson will be on hand in large number Friday night to witness their introduction to vaudeville.

The preservation of one's charms requires more care than you give to your precious jewels, lacei and bric-a-brac. Age is not a matter of years but of feeling, ami beauty is a woman's birthright. A wise woman will stimulate the charms she is losing', and endeavor to regain those she has lost.

UNCLE SAM HELPS LOVER TO POSITIONS

tnos W. Butler, secretary of the state board of charities in writing to County Clerk Penny as well as other clerks of the various circuit courts of the state, asking for a statement of the

number of persons in the county who

have been adjudged insane, and are not yet admitted to the state hospitals. He asks that they be classified as in county jails, county poor asylums, and at their homes and with friends. Tt is thought the information thus gained will be used by the board when the next, legislature is asked to provide more room at the various state jrsylums for the state's unfortunates. In this county there are but two. Both are at the county infirmary, and are classed as epileptics.

"The Girl Who Looks Like Me." "The Girl Who Looks Like Me" has been fittingly termed a "merry gale of laughter," for there is a good, hearty laugh in every line; and with Kathryn Osterman as its star the comedy will doubtless win favor everywhere. While being of the nature of "Charlie's Aunt", "My Friend from India" and a few others, it out-distances them by far in merit. From beginning to end the play is a collection of clean, wholesome, ridiculous fun, embracing some of the cleverest situations possible. The entire cast is excellent, the comedy runs merrily along without any errors and has a fine climax. A romantic element relieves the comedy at Intervals, just enough to effect a pleasing variety of situations. Gennett next Monday night.

"When Knighthood Was in Flower." From beginning to end there have been few plays in the history of the stage better equipped than "When Knighthood Was in Flower," in which play Miss Grace Merritt and an exceptionally strong supporting company will be seen at the Gennett Thursday night. The costumes have been prepared by the best costumers in New York and are complete in every detail. The old furniture, the tapestry, the armor, the wall scenes, the books, all have b.-en selected because of their special fitness; and one of the hardest things in the rehearsal of the play has been the old fashioned court dances which are introduced in the first act to the rythm of old fashioned music.

Wasington, Dec. 4. Never again can it be said that the government at Washington has no sympathy for lovers. At present sweethearts and wives are favorites with Uncle Sam, who will give them a chance to join their husbands or fiances now teaching school in the Philippines. The governor general has cabled from Manila that he needs 500 new teachers, and the department of insular affairs announces that a special examination will be held during the holidays to fill the vacancies. This examination will be open to the wives, fiances, or other women who are I near relatives or candidates for positions as teachers. The age limits are twenty and forty years. The bulk of the appointments will be made at the entrance salary of $1,200 a year.
