MILLIONAIRES AND EDUCATION Prom the London News HE public mind is just beginning to recognize that national efficiency demands, among- other things, a great multiplication of colleges and universities If WP are to keep pace with other advanced nations, we must place in every great city of this country a fully furnished home of higher education But a great danger confronts us at the outset. We are prepared to welcome this advance of higher eclucatlon, we are not prepaied to pay for it No i i can be maintained by tho fees of its students No adequate public funds are now available for their endowment The only alternative appears to be the munilicenoe of piivate individuals Educationalists are beginning to look more and more to millionaires as the intellectual saviors of society. JVIr. Carnegie's a gospel that rich men should die poor usmgr their wealth as a social trust is beginning to be preached broad- east Britain.

If only can gpt enough millionaires to plunge their a dpep enough In their pockets, our educational progress seems to be secure But a few close students of educational progiebs under millionaire endowments In Ameiica are urging us to count the cost of i policy of preferring private charity to i feplf-help Scores of. colleges In the East and Middle States of America are at the piesent time glutted with donations Few men eminent in banking and a i a circles, as trust makers or suc- res--ful plungers in real estate, remain in some great building devoted to the advance of learning The huge pile of college buildings which stands to-day the grounds of the Chicago Exposit i absorbing a fraction of the pro-fits of Hit i oil trust, Is only the most cons i example of a numerous species ot collegiate foundations rcattered over the States, the i of tl-is charity of i i a i To one result of this artificial i a i the Mosely commissioners a borne a i testimony, i a of external machinery, a lop-sided i in a a buildings and app a a concealing a is for present purposes an axtual embarrabsment of riches This is an inevitable result of dependence on the whims of private donors desire to see tangible results of munificence in bricks and mortar.

It is not the dead hand of past benefactors, but the more subtle influence of the donor a is operative The not instances of professors ousted for the expiession of opinions political, economic, or religious-which have given offense to some powerful patron are but extreme evidences of a far graver peril So far as the older academic studies are concerned dead languages, exact sciences, and merely decorative culture little harm is done But a new university, alive to the changing needs of modern education, and seeking to give due importance to those studies i are a i vital, and, therefore, controversial, issues. Is liable to be- confronted with a choice between starvation and subjection. A modern university primarily concerned with the needs of common civic culture will set an overgrowing value upon modern history, economics, other social while Its philosophy, psychology, and biology will seethe with political and economic implications.

It would be Idle to pretend that these subjects can be handled by the most impartial teachers so as to preclude all possibility of offense to those brought up in ignorance or in antiquated notions. One plain example must suffice. Is it reasonable to suppose that a scientific analysis of rents and monopolies, exposing the economic and moral soil out of which great mushroom fortunes grow, will recommend a university to the munificence of the possessors of such fortunes? Real Bangers. The soreness which 18 apparent everywhere in tho academic centers of America when i question is broached is itseif a strong testimony to the reality of the danger. It is not so much a matter of heresy hunting or forcible ejection as of selection.

Subjects, teachers, programmes, text-books will all be subjected to a careful sifting process. The object will be to find "safe" men for the "orthodox" handling of "sound" materials. To those understand what this means It la quite evident that the cause of disinterested science Is at stake The first fects in this country would lie in the ap pointment of governors and directors of studies, who should mold the curriculum of our new colleges in antiquated forms of educational orthodoxy in accordance with obsolete standards of val- Modern studies -will be kept as possible upon old, conventional uatlon. far as lines, liberty and originality in teaching and in research will be discouraged, for through these things offenses come. Let me put the issue plainly.

The bolder thfnkers in the forefront of the modern sciences which touch the conduct of man and of society are undermining With new knowledge many of the supports of the existing social system-- religious, moral, political, and economic and their analysis is being made the basis of strong attacks upon the fortresses of privilege. These forces seem, to many to converge In a movement against those organizations of capital and business enterprise which are producing ntilllon- aires. To these rich these movements represent an attack upon the Institution of propei ty. This danger they associate with others threatening the ecclesias-- tical, political, and social with which have formed an instinctive alliance for mutual defense. Is it likely that this class will finance colleges which are free to pursue studies that yield such dangerous is It not more reasonable to suppose that they will their financial powers to purchase the sort of intellectual support they need, endow colleges which shaJl teach economics and soclologv and shaJl expel from ethics and philosophy.

the organic conception of society? The deceitfulness- of riches is siich that it will Induce colleges to a contemptuous denial of this inevitable chain of moral and economic causation. Unless the popular intelligence can be made alive to the urgency of the danger, our new system of higher education will be a mortal enemy to the cause of democracy. If we do not as a nation so value education as to take the course which nature and moralsi alike mark out for its attainment, hard though it may sound, it is far better to wait for our colleges. We cannot get our Intellectual efficiency by the grace of millionaires. IXS1MG KKET HAJETE FLAVOR.

Golfcfield Now a Modern City with a Press Agent, Harry B. Carr, In Collier's There are over 6,000 people' in Goldfields It was a Bret Harte town for a while, but the old flavor is going now. There are telegraph lines, young lady typists with -g side combs, and fresh drummers. The actually hires a press agent, much after the manner of a circus. It is just on the verge of having a railroad.

It lies in the crater of an old volcano amid painted hills that flame with brilliant scarlets, violet grays, ash of roses, and azure blues. There are two stories about the cold EtARTH NONSENSE. Lady Blount Spends Time and Money to Prove It Flat. From the New York Press. Pitying benighted Yankees Who believe the discoverer described the arc of a circle to effect that famous real estate transaction of 1492, Lady Blount is coming all the way from London with a suit case cranrmed with tracts to enlighten victims of What she regards as the faJ- that the earth Is round is presi- circuitous route to join the Confederate dent of the Universal Zetetio Society, I afmy.

On the way they came across a there; one is told by the disgruntled prospector who found nothing but roulette tables; the other is the version of the pregs agent and the mining promoter; neither is overballasted with truth The real truth is not to be had. The mines are all guarded from the public; some of the ore dumps are surrounded by big fences. At present no ore to speak of is being shipped out, owing- to the prohibitive cost of shipping by wagon. When the railroad comes in it will be possible to tell the wonderful story of the Goldfields ore. As the mines are just starting, there are hundreds of miners looking for not finding It, they rush on to the Bullfrog region.

This Is two days south of Qoldflelds. These little towns, huddled la the Nevada hills, three days' ride from the nearest railroad, are like an old scene where the -props for a frontier drama have been stored away You can't believe it is all real. The Bullfrog Is named after a ledge of vivid green ore that crops out from a hillside In the Amargosa Valley of Southern Nevada, overlooking the desert. It was discovered last summer by a miner named Shorty Harris, in whom no romance lingered. That ledge might have suggested to Shorty the sea or the lure of the Lorelei, or something equally frivolous.

But to Shorty that green looked like the back of a big bullfrog. So it will be Bullfrog to the end of the chapter. If Is hard on tha future aristocracy of Bullfrog. Beatty lies in a mountain pass spraVled across a broad mesa. Men hunt stray burros in canyons of wild picturesque- ness.

It Is a rag town, all canvas. About every third tent is a saloon, after the manner of border towns. Hotels are long canvas tents cut into rooms that quake and shiver in the wind. Amiable bands of burros meander through the streets and lick the labels off tin ca-ns- in the back yards. At night high tenor burros hee-haw across the starlit canyons to basso profundo burros until the night la hideous.

Freighters come crawling in, covered with dust from the desert. Twice a week the big four-horse stage whips in from civilization with the mail. On the bench in front of the tent post-office is the symposium of Bullfrog. Beneath every khaki coat is a pocket full of specimens. Every man believes in the bottom of his heart that he knows the location of the mystical lost Bryfogel mine, the ore of which grows richer with every tellinsr.

Bryfogel was an old Dutchman. Back in the '60's he left Oregon with two hot- blooded young Southerners on a long, wrong, round which sounds painfully like the name of a concern devoted to the manufacture of magnetic toeJts. Incidentally, she also is its founder. Lady Blount has the further honor of being the wife of Sir Walter Blount, who adds "Bart." to his name, and doesn't care wtho knows It Her ladyship is a harmless sort of person, though addicted to verse writing and musical composition. Her pet antipathy is astronomy.

All the star gazers are s-he asserts The planets aren't It's all a mistake This one Is simply a flat map floating In ether, with sheet anchors hooked into space to kfep the terrestrial slice from skimming Into the next solar system. As for the stars, thev're merclv chicks In the sky The sun may be but if so only In the sense of i disk, not a sphere. Lady Blount'a ideas aa to the Milky Way are nebulous, but she Is svre the moon Is only another terrace in the celestial landscape. Its' VH so seasy -when you once understand lt The trouble is most of the students of the gracious matron's theory go mad trying. Ladv Blount Is no seeker of notoriety.

Neither does s'he pine for pelf. Her allowance of pin money is liberal, and is enough to do all her own needlework. The only trouble Is, it takes such i lot of i to convince people the earth isn't a big baseball curving around the sun. If only they would be reasonable and Ignore the logic of that absurd old Genoan who spoiled a good egg to prove bad doctrine. But they won't.

So Lady Blount has to travel up and down, up and down, expounding the golden truth she and her disciples alone are willing to embrace that the earth is flat, is flat, is flat. She isn't elone In her crusade. Accompanying her is her private secretary, Dr. C. De Lacy Evans, Ph M.

The two young Southerners would not stop, but TSryfogel's patriotism dwindled. He took samples of the ore to Austin, and got partners to go back with him to work the mine.

They were followed by a mob of prospectors shadowing them for their secret. Bryfogel lost his way. The mine was never found. The party from Austin were disposed to hang him, but finally relented. He would not go back with them, so they abandoned him with what provisions they could spare.

He vowed never to go back until he had found the mine. One day while drinking at Stump iSprlngs, 100 miles south of Bullfrog, he was hit over the head by a Piute Indian. When he was brought back to life all recollection of the mine had been wiped out of his memory All the fools in the Southwest who are not hunting for the lost Peg Leg mine are hunting for the lost Bryfogel mine. They claim now that It was In the Bullfrog district. DON COSSACK HAiS At RIVAL.

Watives of Central Asia Trained for Russian Cavalry. Prom Peri oner's Gen Skotoeleff, In urging further aggressions in Central Asia on the part of Russia, once drew a glowing picture of the hordes of Asiatic cavalry which would thus be rendered available at some future day for an assault upon India. One needs but to watch such a gaqje as this to realize the force of his words and the potentiality of these new resources of the Czar. The horses are the tenderly reared descendants of those which carried Tamerlane and his victorious army from Samarcand to the Nile, from the Nile almost to Constantinople, and from Asia Minor to the gates of Moscow, and back again to Samarcand. They are large, strong, and fleet, and full of endurance, showing many traces of Arabian- blood, and still more, perhaps, of that of the now almost extinct Turkoman steed.

Their sleek coats and rounded bodies show how carefully they are watched over, each one the pride of Its owner, who la himself a born horseman and bom judge of horseflesh. Add to this the fact that if tho native of Central Asia has in the past developed a reputation for fanaticism, he has shown htmsolf no less in31sputably brave. Russia needs but the time necessary to train her new subjects and to render them loyal ti herself, to have at her disposal a force the power of which for such purposes as tlrat of the invasion of Afghanistan cannot be overestimated. The second of the points, the overcoming; of religious and racial prejudice, she hnn already done much to attain by a surprisingly wide system of paternal government. The firat will follow within two or three decades; and when that, too, has reached, the will have at his disposal a new force, -more efficient, more terrible, and almost numerous her Splendid Bail way and Steamship Facilities.

Structure Declared to Be a Menace to the Safety and Health of Occupants and Passers-by.

WASHINGTON POST BUREAU, 621 King Street, Alexandrla.Va. Mayor Paff announced yesterday that it was his intention to have a consultation with Health Officer Gorman, City 'Engineer Dunn, and Corporation Attorney Boothe, with a view to finding some method whereby the. serious conditions that exist at the old Braddock House, on North. Fairfax street, may be Improved or the owners compelled to close the house. Portions of the building are In a dangerous state- of decay, aiid the lives of the occupants, as well as of people who use the adjacent sidewalk, are constantly imperiled.

The mavor made cursory inspection of the building yesterday, and expressed himself as disgusted with the evidences of flagrant violations of the public health laws. It is also a menace to the city hall and other near-by property in case of flre Chief Belt, of the Washington fire department, who recently made an examination of the with Chief Pettey, of this city, stated that the place was a veritable flre- trap, and advised the local flre chief never to allow any of his firemen to enter the building if it should catch flre, but to concentrate their" efforts on the surrounding- property A bill having for its object the preparation of an ordinance to compel the owners of the property to place it in safe and sanitary condition was offered in city council several months ago, but nothing has since been heard of it, and it is said that it is still sleeping- in the hands of the committee to which it was referred Mayor Paff has also announced his intention to enforce the ordinance passed about two years ago, which provides that no waste water shall be allowed to flow into streets where sewers have been constructed. This ordinance means practically compulsory tapping of sewers. Funeral services over the remains of former Mayor John G. Beckham, who was found dead in his bed Thursday morning, were conducted by Rev.

Berryman of the Episcopal Theological Seminary, at the residence of Mr Robert N. Crook, 220 South Washington street, yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The pallbearers were Dra. William M. Smith and Arthur Snowden, and Messrs.

From the London Dally Exprisa. A black man stood on the platform of Exeter Hall yesterday, and about 3,000 people sat in front of him, laughing. They laughed not at the black man, but a.t his jokes, for the black man was one of the American negro delegates to the Baptist World Conference, and the "black Baptists" have provided the lion's share of the laughter In Exeter Hr.J'. Their laughter could be picked out the Baptists of dozens of countries all laughed together, for although they have learned to talk like white tha "black Baptists" have not forgotten the peculiar laugh of the plantation. Some of the colored men are old enough to have been slaves in their childhood.

Among these is the KPV. A Parrish. who foi twenty vears has been a leading educationalist among the negroes of the Southern States. Mi Parrish is one of the olackest of black men, and his white tio and collar oi'ly emphasized the bla.ckness of his countenance and of his extra long frock coat. His gold-spectacled black fare was as grave as Dr Clifford's as he faced the 3,000 pheerintr Baptists from San Frar.ciseo to Japan.

Then lovely smile overspread h-is features "I suppose," he aid, in the purest JSnglish, "that I am. here to add color to this occasion." His black face beamed with delight as the Baptists cheered and luughed. ell," he added, "while the ethnologists ore trying to determine origin, and the theologians my destiny, I have the inestimable satisfaction of knowing I am here." The Baptists of all nations laugheM and cheered as the black man sm led upon them from the place of hcnor on the platform. They seemed aa glad as lie was to recognize the "arrival" of the black man as an intellectual equal and brother. Forty years ago he was a slave.

When he was fieed he entered a mission school, in which he- became a teacher of Greek. With twinkling- eyes the ex-slavo preacher suggested that there was "no color in brains." In spite of the presence of Dr. Clifford, who is regarded as the greatest man of the S.OuO, the has been a triumph for America. To-morrow evening there will he a ne- groes' meeting at Spxirgeon's Tabernacle, vhen the "Negro will speak'. All the "black Baptists" will be there.
