J.?President Woodrow Wilson has just instituted a most .radical and complete reorganization of social life at Princeton University |?one that marks a departure from ' jthe other big universities and which r . jjirill be studied with deep interest as ipi'.to its woAing out. t'fS ! In brief, it aims to absorb the S i various college clubs into what are ; termed "Residential Quads," where ip .there shall be good fellowship and [closer intimacy between faculty, up V: ver class men and "freshies." < j. The system will establish a real wifh "Clnart" ftpfiinv. ; UWUAW4 uwj , VMVM %^v.v *ing dormitories, dining rooms and < r rooms for social enjoyment in common. Instead of the rivalry and bit- i iter feeling engendered by club elec- i ?v? tions and rejections, there will be ; .unity and a desire for the common true.loyalty to the university. tfX * President Wilson in one phrase : p>.:; summarizes the plan: "To associate [the four classes in a generally organic manner and make of the uni- ; LTersity a real social body, to the ex- i /elusion of cliques and separate class i social organizations to give to the ; j&y' pnniversity the kind of common con- i jsciousness which Apparently conies c - jfrom the closer sort of social con- 1 f t act, to behad only outside the class- i froom, and most easily to be got about i a common table, and in the contacts i of a common life." The Board of Trustees of the uni- ; | veraity have adopted the main parts \ embodied in the plan and it will 0J.-. .'probably be put into effect shortly. |; f COLLEGE SWEETHEARTS it^ s Or. Hal!

Club life, as it exists to-day at the university, is demoralizing, says President Wilson, "not because there is in the clubs any cynical indifference to study, but because the social activities-into which their members are naturally and inevitably drawn are very many and very delightful and very engrossing, and study has to take its chance in competition with them. "These influences," he continued, "are splitting classes into factions and endangering that class spirit upon which we depend for our selfgovernment and for the transmission of most of the loyal impulses of the university. The 'politics' of candidacy for membership in the upper class club not only produce a constant and very demoralizing distraction frr?m nnivorcftv rintips in frsshman and sophomore years, and inforce all sorts of questionable customs, but they cut deeper even than that. "Group rivalries break the solidarity of the classes. The younger classes are at no point made conscious of the interests of the university; their whole thought is concentrated upon individual ambitions, upon means of preference, upon combinations to obtain selfish individual ends. They strive against this when they become juniors and seniors, but they do not strive against it successfully, and when they are freshmen and sophomores they do not strive against it at all. "The present system of our life ia artificial and unwholesome." ! TELL WHY THEY LOVE vViflftiS--1* '1-4 >*-.* i x Even Feet, Are Chief Among Aide Because College to Marry.

Which is to say that more of those lovers interrogated have found the Invert one's eves or hair the chief at traction than anything else. The women replying to Dr. Hall's questions have also specified these charms in the men they loved best: Regular teeth, broad shoulders and white teeth, and most popular among the men have been long lashes and arched brows. According to some of those replying, a retrousse nose, freckles and a long neck have beenthechief charms. The voice cuts an important figure among the charms. With some it is a high voice; with others, a low voice. Even a lisp has been stated as a charm. Laughter, carriage, gait, gesture, movements of the eye, pose of head and shoulders have al?o been specified in the replies. ?0T TO WED POOR MEN n Husbands Having at Least $4000 i Documentary Proof. member of the society must furnish documentary proof that he has goods and chattels to the value of $2000, and carries a life insurance policy for at least $2000.

WAS EQUAL TO A CiRCUS t t Morbidly Curious Crowd Packed tho Court Room to Suffocation?Court Learned But Littie from Oil Magnate. John D. Rockefeller, president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, occupied the witness stand in the United States district court at Chicago, Saturday, while Judge Landis plied him with questions regarding the financial strength and the business methods of the corporation of which he is the head. Mr. Rockefeller was a very willing and an equally unsatisfactory witness^ He was readv to tell all that he knew. but he said he knew praetically nothing. The net result of his examination was that he believed -that during the year3 1903, 1904 and 1905, the period covered by the indictments on which the Standard Oil company of Indiana was recently convicted, the net profits of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey were approximately forty per cent of an outstanding capitalization of $100,000,000. The investigation by Judge Landls was instituted by him for the expressed purpose of determining whether or not the Standard Oil company of Indiana, which was convicted of violation of the law, was really owned by the Standard Oil company of, New Jersey, whether the Union Tank Line, whose cars were used for the shipments made in violation of law, was similarly owned, and also to obtain an idea of the financial resources of the convicted corporation in order to inflict a fine proportioned to the offense and the assets of the convicted company. It was stated by officers of the Stan, dard Oil company of New Jersey that it owned the greater part of the stock of both the Union Tank Line and the Standard Oil company of Indiana. Specific figures as to#the earnings of the parent corporation were given by Chas. M. Pratt, its secretary, and they were close to the estimate given by Mr. Rockefeller. Tno flnnParailPA in roiirt of the man reputed to be the richest in the world brought about a spectacle the like of which has never been witnessed in the vicinity of a Chicago court room. The hour set for the appearance o? Mr. Rockefeller was 10 o'clock and an hour before that time the low-ceiled hallway outside the court room door was densely packed by a crowd, all of whom were anxious to obtain seats and hear the testimony. A large squad of United States deputy marshals, under the direction of United States Marshal Hoy, and a numerous detail of police were on hand; but even they were unable at times to control the crowd. The people pushed and shoved,' and at times by sheer weight actually bore the police and deputies down the hall. The crowd was so UUU30 lll'dLl uoqucut iui aooiotau^ were heard, and people who were jammed against the wall frantically begged for relief from pressure to which they were subjected. Admission to the court room was by card only, but many people succeeded in evading the guards, and when the judge took his seat upon the bench, the court room was packed to the last Inch. No formal announcement was made that the inquiry was ended, but Judge Landis said immediately after the adjournment that the investigation was concluded as far as he personally was concerned, and that the witnesses were discharged.

Big "Killing" Made on Horse Race Pulled Off at Kenilworth. Race horse men in Washington have just learned of a big "killing" in the pool rooms of New York and other big cities of the country on June 27, whereby a sum in the neighborhood of $250,000 was taken from the pool room people on false odds sent from the Kenilworth track at Buffalo on a horse which won the third race on that date. -.'v.--- * 'IfC* . - ROCKEFELLER iS NABBED Officers of Law Finally 8ucced in Serving Subpena Upon Wily 8tandard Oil Magnate, After a search lasting nearly two weeks, in which representatives of the United States marshals of Chicago, Cleveland,N New York and Boston have been endeavoring to serve upon John D. Rockefeller, head or me ?tan? dard Oil company, a subpena issued by Judge Landis of the federal court of Chicago, Mr. Rockefeller was located on the farm of his brother-in-law at Pittsfield, Mass., and personal services made upon him by Deputy United States Marshal Charles L. Frink of North Adams. After accepting service Mr. Rockefaiioi AYniflinod that he had not been endeavoring to dodge service, but that be did not know exactly what was wanted of him.The deputy passed the subpena to the oil magnate, explaining at the same time that Mr. Rockefeller's presence in the federal court at Chicago on July 6, was needed.. Mr. Rockefeller accepted service with a smile, shook hands with the deputy and expressed pleasure at meeting him. He invited the officer to sit on the piazza and rest, which invitation was accepted. Mr. Rockefeller chatted for a few moments, saying he had not intended to evade the officers, but that he did not know exactly what was desired of him. He referred to the newspaper stories that have been printed about him recently and ridiculed the idea that he had been surrounded by armed guards or that the Tacomlc farm and estate had been ripped with a searchlight As the officer was leaving the house Mr. I Rockefeller again shook hands with him, saying he was glad to have met him and added: "If you are ever near my home I hope you will come and call on me.' Rockefeller left Pittsfield Thursday night for Chicago. He assisted several children staying at the home of his son-in-law, E. P. Prentice, to light fireworks during the day. Late in the evening Mr. Prentice took his father-in-law in an automobile to State Line station, on the Boston i and Albany railroad, where the west bound express, which left Pittsfleld at 8 p. m., was flagged. VARDAMAN NOT CONVERTED. Answered Call for Penitents, But Did / Not Wholly Surrender. The Mississippi state press is Indulging in considerable comment over the report that Governor Vardaman was among the earliest converts at a revival service in Jackson recently, and the matter is being generally discussed, especially in political circles.* Inhere has been a misunderstanding concerning this incident. At the service referred to Governor Vardaman did respond to the call of the evangelist for penitents, knelt at the altar with members of the local clergy, who prayed with them, but when the evangelist put the final test and asked the I penitents to surrender to Christ, the I governor was not among the number. I Aft-or ctaUnc a memtv?r nf thfl Methodist clergy that ?e did not feel like making the surrender the governor stepped behind the line of converts and afterwards took his seat. He attended two or three other meetings, but did not join the penitents. STORMS CUT DEADLY SWATH. Fifteen People Reported KUIed In Wisconsin and Great Damage Wrought.

Five Hundred Members of Kentucky and South Carolina Regiments Raise Cain at Jamestown. Five hundred soldier3, members of the South Carolina and First Kentucl^ regiments, in camp at the Jamestown exposition grounds, became riotous on Wednesday night, threw off all discipline, intimidated concessionaries and took charge of the shows on the war path, and when the Powhatans Guards interfered a riot followed, several being injured. The injured are: josepn israsaer, cumpany ?_r, Jtxentucky Regiment, probable fracture of the skull; Guard Preas, Powhatan Guards; Captain Carpenter of Powhatan Guards; Adjutant Carwood, Guard Kennedy and several others suffered slight wounds. Earlier in the night the soldiers, who were drinking, became noisy and were repeatedly cautioned by the guards. Later, when their number had increased to about 300, they threw aside all restraint and proceeded to the warpath, where they invaded the places of amusement, refusing to pay admission fees or to leave when ordered out of the temple of mirth, beauty shows and streets of Cairo, which were the principal sufferers. At the latter place about fifteen Powhatan Guards atempted to restore order and the trouble followed. The guards were forced to use their sabres to beat i.1 J i 1- n n - ^ ? J me men oacK. uiputm carpenter ana Adjutant Garwood were soon on the scene and succeeded In ejecting the men from the streets of Cairo. The soldiers soon returned, their number augmented to 500. They again attempted to take charge of the shows and by order of Captain Carpenter, C. L. Vaughtins of company H, Kentucky, and J. Tompkins of company D, South Carolina, were -placed under arrest as the leaders of the rioting. This caused a demonstration, and with drawn sabers the guards fought their way through the massed soldiers to the guard camps, keeping their prisoners, despite the efforts on the part of comrades to rescue them. Behind the wire fence of the camp the. guards made a stand. The guards were later reinforced by detachments of soldiers from the camp, and order wa3 restored. ANOTHER MARCH THRO' GEORGIA Objections That Foiled Rev. Sherman Do Not Exist This Time. A second start was made from Chattanooga Thursday by military men to traverse the route pursued by General W. T. Sherman when he created havoc and wrought devastation fVirvu o-Vi tVia Vieai-t r\9 tVio Qniifh'a Pm pire state. Only a year ago did Rev. Sherman, a Jesuit priest, and son of the great federal leader, essay to tread the path his father trod. He started from Fort Oglethorpe and marched as far as Cartersville, Ga. A furor was stirred up among the southerners who remembered the * reality of "marching through Georgia." A storm arose and wicked things were said. President Roosevelt felt the disturbance and recalled the military escort furnished the priest. This time the trip is being made by commissioned officers, with only enough enlisted men to care for the stock and pitch camps. There are thirty-four officers in the party wljo are fresh from the military staf college at Leavenworth, being recent yradiiafps There was considerable comment by Confederate veterans,, but none of the objections raised were of serious import. They insist that the army officers should study the tactics of General Joseph E. Johnston, as well as those of General Sherman, "that they may learn something."

On Thursday more than twenty thousand immigrants arrived in New York City. That is a (greater number of aliens than ever came to America before in a day. One ehip alone > brought 2,734. % ' These thousands of foreigners ovet1* taxed the capacity of Bills Island; which can handle five thousand immigrants in a day. What is significant la this tidal wave of 4 migration thai it te landing on American shores many farm hands from Europe. They are described ae sturdy end eager fo* % work. Few ere being turned back by the officials. Europe has heard the roar of Amer- ^ ^ lean Industry, and foreigners through* out this country sharing in the (general prosperity are telling the: good news by letter to their friends and relatives in the Old World. The unusual volume of immigration is the result. So long as the character of the new arrivals gives1 promise that they will become desirable citizens the extraordinary influx need excite no alarm. That the majority of the Italians, for example, belong to a good class is disclosed in a cablegram from Rome this week giving the provisions of a bill which the Government has submitted to the Italian Parliament designed to check emigration from that country. Natives may emigrate only . | cm ehips authorized by the Govern- ^ ment, and the authorities there may stop the departure of any emigrants V ? whose going might be damaging to industrial Italy. - The fact is that labor is in demand ^ in manv nart* of frhe world at nresent. BnazH and other South. American republics are offering larfd and agri- ' cultural implements to immigrant*. Our Gulf States are alert for alien labor. . In the West prosperous farmers last year toured the plains in automobiles looking for farm hands. In Germany soldiers on furlough were pressed into farm work when they visited their homes. The stories of the prosperity of this continent which are attracting Europeans by the thousands daily and causing en. aggregate arrival of more -;J than a million a year are not exaggerated. The . grain receipts at flf- ' | teen interior cities during March amounted to over 72,000,000 bushels, compared with 54,000,000 bushels' hi' March of 1906. The building opera- Vp| tiooa in fifty-five leading citiee in March represented a vah? of over $54,000,000. Thirty-two car, service * associations in March handled nearly ^ 3,000,000 freight cars. On every hand there Is prosperity In every form. New arrivals in this .* country, provided they can stand the official test at Ellis Island, will con-tribute to the advancement of our industrial welfare?New York American.
