"My decision not to hold the meet this
year will be sincerely deplored by friends
of the Institution, but It has been made
inevitable," says Mr. Swan, "by the action
of the University Athletic management In
filling Its schedule without consulting Grln
nell, so as to leave only, the early date
of May 4 open for the dual meet. An early
date- for the meet would bo especially dis
advantageous for Orlnnell, which on ac
count ot the small number of Its students
has to rely largely on the benefits of train
ing for tho excellent showings which It
una maao in me past."
Last year th meet was held May 11, and
tho Orlnnell Athletic mnnnprm!il h1lav.

NEW YORK, reb. (Special Tele
gram.) The withdrawal of II. It. Rogers
And Leonard Lewlsohn, representing the
Standard Oil Interests, from the American
Smelting and Refining company, and the
Injunction obtained by their Interests to
restrain the Smelting trust from Increas
Ing Its stock from J65.000.000 to 1100,000,000,
Is accounted for today, as details ot the
consolidation of the trust and the Guggen
heim smelting Interests become known. H
appears that Instead ct the American com
pany getting control of the Guggenheim
interests four months ago, the exact re
verse occurred.
At the time ot the consolidation It was
given out that the Ougtenhslms were to
recelvo from the American company K5,
00,000 In stock and were to subscrlbo as
a quid pro quo $10,000,00) In cash.
In reality, according to the terms of the
contract, the JJuggenhelms were to secure
51 per cent of the smelting company's
stock, which extra private consideration
was to como from the pockets ot Lowlsohn
and Rogers. It was also agreed that these
two men would resign as directors of tho
compeny. At the same time they were to
abrogate the contract which the American
company had with the United Metals Sell
ing company, onlV so far, howevcr,jis the
gold produced by the smelting company
was concorned.
When the Guggenhelms got control ot the
American company, they decided to abro
gate tho entire contract with the United
Metals Selling company and take tor them
selves the exclusive prlvllcgo of selling
tho entire product.
The Standard Oil Interests were caught
tn a trap by the deal. It the Injunction
lstued by Vice Chancellor Stevens Is made
permanent, the deal between the smelting
company and the Guggenhelms will be oft
and the smelting Interests will resolve Into
their original conditions of open com
petition. RATHBOME DEFENDS HIMSELF

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. Two volumes ot
the testimony and exhibits In the Cuban
postal Investigation were reported to tho
senate today. They consist In the main
ot a mass of figures, the only new matter
of popular Interest being statements made
by ex-Director General RAthbone and E. P.
Thompson, postmaster at Havana, In re
ply to Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Brlstow's criticisms ot their conduct
ot affairs.
Mr. Rathbone's statement is dated No
vember CO last and In It be takes up and
replies to Mr. Brlstow's charges seriatim.
Referring to Mr. Brlstow's charge that
there was no contract a3 to prices In the
purchase of postofllco furniture from the
Keyless Lock company of Indiana, Mr
Rathbone tuys that the statement Is con
tradicted by Brlstow's own report. He
also says there was a contract with the
Mosler Safe and Loek company, giving this
fact as a refutation of Brlstow's statement
that Neely's authority was absolute tn the
matter of purchases of safes, et
Xn Opportunity for Defense.
Continuing Mr. Rathbone saye: "No op
portunity was given to me to defend my
self or tho service which I had created
until the second day before Brlstow's de
parture. The scanty time then available
was devoted by Brlstow almost exclusively
In the effort to f.nd some Incriminating
evidence against General Perry S. Heath,
first assistant postmaster general, or my
self, as the Interview shows. No oppor
tunity was given me to explain what ap
peared against me or to make any showing
of tho tlaio and labor devo'.ed by me and
by my subordinates In the building ot a
postal service from Its very foundation, nor
nf the obstacles that wcro overcome by
us as best' we could under the then ex
isting conditions, but he suppressed doc
uments, letters, etc., which I made a part
of my statement."
Referring to tho charges in connection
with the Necly bills, Rathbone says: "The
statement there made Involves another case
ot suppression amounting to perversion ot
mrlerlal fasts; General Brlstow knew, for
I told him myself and tho office of the
assistant auditor ot the department of posts
shows that there were thirteen ot the
'Neely bills, eight of which were approved
by myself, as director general, nnd live ot
which were approved by P. II. Brlstow, chief
clerk of the, department, as sctlng director
general during my, absence, when the duty
devolved upon him of approving bills of this
kind." He Interred, he says, from these and
other features of the BrUtow report that
the official intended to "deliberately mis
lead by a plain perversion and suppression
of facts within his own knowledge."
Ileiilrn CluirKra of Ijrrrllclloti,
He asserta that P. H. Brlstow (chief clerk
in tho Havana office) signed warrant No.
7,087 for U2.C00. which General Brlstow
charges him iRathbone) with signing. An
other transaction charged as a dereliction
against blm Is, he said, chargeable to J. W.
Irwin, a subordinate of General Brlstow.
Mr. Rathbone sjys there Is no evidence and
that none can be secured to sustain the al
legation that bo was "careless, loved ease
and refused to give attention to details."
On the contrary, ho asserts that be "worked
hard, earnestly and long." He says that
Auditor Lawshe and not Perry S. Heath
was responsible for .the appointment of
Dr. V. H. Reeves to a place In the Cuban
service. He charges Brlstow wlthsup
pressing Important parts of his (Rath
bone's) testimony.
Postmaster Thompson takes exception to
Brlstow's statement that he (Thompson)
had caused four money orders to be Issued
to himself. He says that as a matter of
fact he purchased nine postofflce orders, but
In doing so he committed no crime; the
shortage was made good. Speaking of the
Havana office In a general way Mr. Thomp
son says: "The Havana postofflce was or
ganized under the most trying and dIBlcult
circumstances, and Irregularities were
tound to occur. The organization and con
duct ot this offlco was such that Mr. Brls
tow could find co reason for a change, either
In Us organization or the number of em
ployes required to conduct It. I feel that
for a technical mistake on ray part I havo
teen most outrageously treated."

Mood's Escape From
THROUGH THE AGENCY OF
The history of medical practice Is replete with the record ot dismal failures In
the treatment of Diseases Peculiar to Men.
Time particular maladies which are Inflicted by nature as penalties tar the viola
tion of natural law, and follow as the destructive effects of the specific vicious virus
ot contagious disease, usually attack some organ or set ot organs embraced In the
Genlto-Urinary System, and not only affect the general health, but Impair or destroy
tho essential attributes of manhood, often rendering their victims the prey ot their
own folty and trglect or ot misapplied or Imperfect treatment.
Upon surveying tho medical field at the beginning ot my professional career I
was struck with tho Imperfection of ordinary methods of treatment as administered
for diMeses of the urinary and genitive organs and associate pelvic Infirmities, and I
resolved to evolve a perfect system of cure for the emancipation of men enslaved by
dlieate.
Tho results ot my labor In the cure of thousands ot men ot all ages once afflicted
with Ncrvoiirt Dcbl lty, Varicoclo, Strlittirc, Prostatic, Disease. Specific
(Contagious Blood Poison or other special maladies have demonstrated beyond
a shadow ot doubt that I havo successfully attained my object.
Tho oecret of my success ties In the fact that I discovered, developed and per
fected oilglnal mithods of treatment whloh are dlitinctly my own and by which 1
treat and cure to stay cured the special .nale maladies without resort to experiment.
I was not content until I had successfully adapted every available scientific prin
ciple to the cure of dlttetc In my specialty, and It Is a matter of particular pride with
me that I have the unquestioned commend of well-tested and reliable methods of
affording enslaved manhood certain means ot escape from the bondage of physical
weaknesses and dlcenses.
This ability I acquired and possess through ths agency of ths wonderful power of
truo modern specialism. My methods are my owu and cannot be mtasured, nor must
they be Jiiged by those of others.
Those should apply to me who would obtain Immediate cure of special male In
firmities without long and tedious cxpe'lment with defective, old-time methods and
qjesttonabl procedures of thoie who cannot reasonably lay claim to experience so
vest or professional ability so certain and reliable as mine,
NERVOUS DEBILITY
The lament of nervous debility Is charged to the expression of supreme happi
ness upon Its perfect restoration by my certain means of cure. Nervous Debility
!i a. most suitable term for the condition wh'ch Is marked by Impairment of th
r.ervous functions of the body nnd the loss of vital power. In recent years the
irm ticu-ruu-the-nl.a haa been applied to this morbid suite This term, as well as
Nervous Debility, denotes the loss of nervn tmpjlse or force by any cause which
robes the body of nervous energy and vigor.
Both of these terms are hroad In their meaning and embrace every form of
NEKVOUS DEBILITY. WEAKNESS. PROSTRATION. VITAL DRAINAGE OR
SPERMATORRHOEA, PREMATURE DECLINE and a host of nervous diseases, und
disturbances, whlcli often suggest to trielr victim the question. "Is Life Worth
Living?'' Under the stress ot misery, both mental and physical, entailed by Nerv
ous Debility In Its many forms. If so relief or cure coutd ever be afforded. It Is not;
but I wish to alllrm 'that apparently most hopeless cases, when brought under
ihe almost magic Influence of the special system of treatment 1 discovered sorao
years since for the renewal of mental and animal vitality, are restored tn a most
rapid and gratifying manner. The pecular merit of my method of cure Is that
It furnishes and suppl3 new vital cells, which mibstltute. In a natural way, th
broken down and warte tlss is of the body, and thin is POSITIVELY THE ONIA
RATIONAL AND SL'CVESSFL'L SYSTEM OF CURB. I enro not what the cause
of your physical breakdown or what kl!l has been exhausted In the effort to cure
you. I will banish ev-r clement of your special disease and renew and re-estab-
i lish vour manhood! weakness vital loss and drainage I will arrest, and. by means
1 which I have demonstrated to the perfect, satisfaction of an army of men once
I utr.ictad whom I have cjrd. has not a single record of failure. I will supply ths
.ost elements of your organism essential to your Ueulth and special functions.
t ,hna whn (1lfm ! H nf Hllnfni? vltnl tinwpr In sr.v nurtiriiHr will
take advantage of the chunce to learn from me th.Mr preclso condition nnd sibmlt
th -mselves to the positive curative power of a trentinent which Is In no wise un
pleasant. I will prove to them that their lives are wortn living.
I wl'.l remove forever their special imperfections, nnd so rebuild them as to In
