Celebration Of the Sesquicentennial
of the University.
SPEECH BY MR. CLEVELAND.
The President Describes the Advantages
of Higher Education For Our Youth
and Indirectly Refers to the
Financial Issues.
PRINCETON, N. J.. Oct. 23. —The closing
exercises in connection with the Princeton
jubilee commenced today. The town was
en fate and was more crowded than yester-
day or the day before. ,
Since President Cleveland’s arrival the
country people hereabout seem to have
taken an interest in the ssquicentennial
which they did not manifest before. Ev—
ery One is delighted with the way in which
the programme has been carried out, and
the jubilee will-live in their memories as
one of the pleasantest experiences of their
lives. .
The formal assumption of the title
“Princeton university” occurred today
with the speech of President Cleveland in
Alexander hall. In connection therewith
the degree of doctor of laws was confirmed
on many eminent scholars of this country
and Europe.
President Cleveland’s Speech.
President Cleveland spoke as follows:
“Ma. PRESIDENT AND L mas AND GEN-
TEEMEN—As those in di erent occupa-
tions and with different training each sees
most plainly in the same «landscape view
those features which are the most nearly
related to their .several habitiial environ-
ments, so, in our contemplpticn of an
event or an occasion, each i dividual es«
pecially observes and appreciates, in the
light his mode of thought supplies, such
of its features and incidents as are most
in harmony with his mental situation.
“Today, while all of us warmly share
the general enthusiasm. and felicitation
which pervade this assemblage, I am sure
its various suggestions and meanings as-
sumé a prominence in our respective fields
of mental vision dependent upon their re«
lotion to our experience and condition.
Th a charged with the management and
dire tion of the educational advantages of
this noble institution most plainly see,
with Well earned satisfaction, proofs of its
growth and usefulness and its enhanced
opportunities for doing good. The gradu-
ate of Princeton sees first the evidence of
a greater glory and prestige than . have
come to his alma mater and the added
honor thence reflected upon himself, while
those still within her student halls see
most prominently the promise of an in-
creased dignity which awaits their gradu-
ation from Princeton university.
“But there are others here, not of the
family of Princeton, who see, with an in-
terest not to be outdone, the signs of her
triumphs on the fields of higher education
and the part she has taken during her
long nd glorious career in the elevation
and litterment of a great people.
“Among these Itake ahumble place,
and as I yieldito the influences of this 00- ~
caslon I cannot resist the train of thought
which especially'reminds me of the prom-
ise of national safety and the guaranty of
the permanence of our flee institutions
which may and ought to radiate from the
universities and colleges scattered through-
out our land.
The Government's Anchor-agar
“Obviously a government resting upon
the will and universal suffrage of the peo-
ple has no anchorage except in the pee-
ple’s intelligence. While the advantages
of a collegiate education are by no means
necessary to good citizenship, yet the col-
lege graduate, found everywhere, cannot
smother his opportunities to teach his fol-
low countrymen and influence them for
good nor hide his talents in a napkin
without recreancy to a trust.
“In a nation like ours, charged with
the care of numerous and widely varied
interests, a spirit of conservatism and
toleration is absolutely essential. A col<
' leglatc training, the study of principles
unvexed by distracting and misleading in-
fluences, and a correct apprehension of
the theories upon which our republic is
established ought to constitute the col-
lege graduate a constant monitor, warn-
ing against popular rashness and excess.
“The character of our institutions and
our national self interest require thata.
feeling of sincere brotherhood and a dis-
position to unite in mutual endeavor
should pervade our people. Our scheme
of government in its beginning ~was based
upon this sentiment, and its interruption
has never failed—and can never fail—to
grievously menace our national health.
Who can better caution against passion
and bitterness than those who know by
thought and study their baneful conse-
quences, and who are themselves within
the noble brotherhood of higher education?
“There are natural laws and economic
truths which command implicit obedience,
and which should unalterably fix the
bounds of wholesome popular discussion
and the limits of political strife. The
knowledge gained in our universities and
colleges would be sadly deficient if its
beneficiaries were unable to recognize and
point out to their fellow citizens these
truths and natural laws, and to teach the
mischievous futility of their nonobserv-
ance and attempted violation.
“The activity of our people and their
restless desire to gather to themselves
especial benefits and advantages load to
the growth of [an unconfessed tendency to
regard their government as the giver of
private gifts, and to look upon the agencies
for its administration as the distributors
of official places and preferment. Those
who in university or college have had an
opportunity to study the mission of our
institutions, and who in the light of his-
tory have learned the danger to a people
of their neglect of the patriotic care they .
owo the national life intrusted to their
keeping, should be well fitted to constant-
ly admonish their fellow citizens that the
usefulness and beneflcence of their plan of
government can only be preserved through
their unselfish and loving support and
their contented willingness to accept in
full return the peace, protection and op-
portunity which it impartially bestows.
A Hint at Finance.
“Not more surely do the rules of hen-
est-y and good faith fix the standard of in-
dividual character in a community than
dothese same rules determine the char-
acter and standing of a nation in the
wofld of civilization.
of its power, n01 t a tinsel of, it. commer-
cial prosperity, no. the gaudy show of its
people’s wealth can conceal the canker-
ing rust of national dishonesty and cover
the meanness of national bad faith. A
constant stream of thoughtful, educated
men should come from our universities'
and colleges preaching national honor and
integrity and teaching that a belief in
Neither the glitter-
the necessaity of ndtional obedience to the
laws of God is not born of superstition.
“I do not forget the practical necessity
of political parties, nor do I deny their
desirabilityc I recognize wholesome dif-
ferences of opinion touching legitimate
governmental policies and would by no
means control or limit the utmost freedom
in their discussion. I have only attempt-
ed to suggest the important patriotic serv-
ice which our institutions of higher edu-
cation and their graduates are fitted to
render to our people in the enforcement
of those immutable truths and funda-
mental principles which are related to our
national condition, bul should n ver be
dragged into the field of politic strife
nor impressed into the service of partisan
contention.
“When the excitement of party warfare
presses dangerously near our national
safeguards, I would have the intelligent
conservatism of our universities and col-
leges warn the contestants in impressive
tones against the perils of a breach impos-
sible to repair. .
“When popular discontent and passion
are stimulated by the arts of designing
partisans to a pitch perilously near to
class hatred or sectional anger, I would
have our universities and colleges sound
the alarm in the name of American broth-
erhood and fraternal dependence.
“When the attempt is made to delude
the people into the belief that their suf-
rages can change the operation of natural
laws, I would have our universities and
colleges proclaim that those laws are in-
exorable and far removed from political
control.”
max OUTLOOK FOR—SPAIN.
Awful Condition of Affairs as Sketched
by Premier Canovas.
LONDON, Oct. 23.—-A Madrid dispatch
says'that the queen regent presided at a
council of ministers today. Senor Canovas,
the premier, gave a complete sketch, which
was gloomy enough, of home and colonial
afl'airs'.
. The loss of men in the colonial wars has
proved disastrous to husbandry as is shown
by'the marked decrease in exports. Spain
will be compelled to largely import bread-
stufl‘s. Only patriotism prevents the latent
discontent from breaking out.
A sort of instinctive presentiment im-
pels the nation to show cohesion anda
haughty determination with a view to
averting international complications and
the possible intervention of the United
States.
For a Big Spanish Loan.
MADRID, Oct. 23.—The Nacional says
the negotiations for a big Spanish loan
continue. In the meantime, it adds. the
smaller credit operations suffice and as-
sure the resources “necessary to maintain
the national honor and defend the integ-
‘rity of the country. Spain possesses all
the soldiers she needs and will prove she
has the money necessary.”
Filibnsters Must Answer.
HAVANA, Oct. 23. -—Admiral do Navar-
ro, as president of the naval court, has
caused notice to be served upon 41 filibus-
ters and others, including the crew and
passengers of the Competitor, that they
must answer the charge of piracy and re-
bellion against'the government.
To Aid In Crushing Cubans.
Bnnxos Aynns, Oct. fail—The Spanish
colony here has raised $2,000,000 with
which to present to Spain a new cruiser.
Turkey and the United States.
Coxs'rs'N'rmoan, Oct. 23. ——In an inter-
view with a representative of the press to-
day the Unitcd States minister to Turkey
said that the relations of the United States
with Turkey were of the most cordial
character. Not a single American citizen
had been sacrificed during the late mas-
sacre in Constantinople, he said, and it
was highly improbable that the United
States government would depart from its
traditional policy of nonintervention.
‘ The Italian Royal \Vedding.
ROME, Oct. 23.—Princoss Helene of
Montenegro made her state entry into
Rome today. She and the members of her
family arrived here at 11 O’clock and were
welcomed by King Humbert, Queen Mar-
gharita and the crown prince, to whom she
is betrothed, the ministers and members
of the diplomatic corps. The streets from
the railroad station to the palace were
thronged with crowds of people, lined with
troops and gayly decorated.
Suit Over a Jawbone.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-—Thc suit of Miss
Emma D. Springhorn, who alleges ”that
Dr. Otto Mattes injured her jaw to the ex-
tent of $10, 000 by a faulty operation in
filling a molar, was dismissed today. It
was claimed by Miss Springhorn that Dr.
Mattes negligently drilled through a tooth
while filling a cavity, causing necrosis of
the jawbone. Justice Sedgwick held that
no evidence had been presented to show
negligence.
The Catholic University.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—The prelates and
members of the board of directors of the
Catholic university were called together
today for a supplemental session and
changed the time of the annual meeting to
the second Wednesday in October instead
of after Easter. Archbishop Corrigan of
New York has been delegated to write the
letter to the pope presenting the list of the
three names recommended for the rector-
ship.
Bank of England Advances Its Rate.
LONDON, Oct. 28.—The Bank of Eng-
land rate of. discount was advanced'today
from 3 per cent to 4 per cent. The Globe
in its financial article says: “The rise in
the Bank of England’s discount rate is not
likely to affect trade, though it will hurt
imprudent speculators, for a rise in the
Bank of England’s rate can stop the
American drainage of gold the moment it
approaches the danger point. ”
Dr. Moore Found Guilty.
NASHUA, N. K, Oct. 23.-——Dr. Joseph
C. Moore, physician, financier and editor,
today was for the third time within a few
months found guilty of overissuing stock
of the Union Publishing company of
Manchester, N. H., of which he was for-
merly treasurer, by a jury in the supreme
court. The decision was reached after
about seven hours‘ deliberation. Sentence
will be pronounced later.
To Report Upon Texas Fever. '7
LONDON, Oct. 23.--A dispatch to The
Times from Melbourne, says that experts
have been sent to the United States by
Queensland to report upon Texas fever in
cattle, which is identical with a disease
caused by a Queensland insect like a tick.
A asaulted Student Bias.
1(5an ELAND, Oct. 23.-——Joseph Lupinek,
20 years old, a student at the Western Re-
ser . c college, at Hmson, 0., who was as-
saulted and robbed by foctpads on East
Madison avenue Monday night, died from
his injuries today. —

EMBARRASSMENT of: THE SMITHS.
Some Funny Social Complications in.
Washington Circles. I
It is emphatically true that Wash-
ington society is funnier than fiction,
though there is a great deal of story-
telling about high officials that passes
for fact without any good reason. Mrs.
Hoke Smith, however, can tell some
absolutely true incidents which are
funny enough to have been made to
order. She appreciates the humorous
side of life, and her way of telling a
story adds to it irresistibly.
One concerns a lady by the name of
Smith, who spent this season in Wash-
ington and received a great deal of
attention. Soon after her arrival she
attended Mrs. Hoke Smith’s reception,
and the wife in turn attended hers.
When the latter entered the drawing
room it was evident that none of the
receiving party recognized her, and
by the way of introducing herself she
stepped up to one of the ladies and
mentioned her own name:
“Mrs. Hoke Smith.”
The hostess took it for an inquiry,
and her reply was tart in the ex-
treme. She remarked that she was
not Mrs. Hoke Smith, and had been
regretting that her name was Smith at
all, because during her stay she had
been mistaken for the wife of the Sec-
retary of the Interior a dozen times
a day, and she was making it her
object in life to make people under-
stand that Secretary Smith was not
her husband.
Mrs. Hoke Smith admits that she
had hard work to keep her temper,
but her sense of the ludicrous came
to the rescue, and she said very sweet
1y that she was glad to hear, “be—
cause,” she added, “the Secretary of
the Interior is my husband, and it
would be extremely embarrassing if
he were yours also.”
Apologies, explanations, and laugh-
ter followed, but, although Mrs. Hoke
Smith was very pleasant and goods
humor-ed about it, the other lady did
not return the call, and the acquaint-
ance lapsed. But that wasn’t the end
of it. Months afterward, and lately
Mrs. I—Icke Smith met another Mrs.
Smith at the house of a friend, and in
the course of the conversation story-
telling began, and Mrs. Hoke Smith,
told this story. The next development
was that the lady to Whom she was
telling it was the heroine of it, Mrs.
Hoke Smith having forgotten her face,
it seemed to be a case of “too much
Smith.”
Constitutional Falsehood.
“There are many children who are
exaggerators and untruthful simply '
from irregularity of mental balance,”
said an experienced teacher in a re-
cent conversation on the peculiarities
of temperament in the young. “They
do not lie from choice or inclination,
but their imaginations are in a some-
what morbid state, and everything
looks unreal to them, and ,their state-
ments come out accordingly. Almost
all of us can remember occasions on
which we have been ready to declare,
on our honor, that we saw certain
things, especialy in the twilight or
darkness.
“Some years ago a small boy came
rushing into the house at twilight
screaming with terror. He had seen
a man without any head standing at
the garden gate. There was no pre-
tense about it, for the little fellow
was pale and trembling, and he really
believed that he had seen this head-
less body as he described it. In or-
der to pacify him, his father walked
out slowly through the garden, alert
and listening for the slightest noise.
A curious grinding sound attracted
his attention as he reached the gate,
and there, sure enough, he saw What
.for an instant, exactly corresponded
with the boy’s description. In a mo-
ment he 'burst into a hearty laugh.
Directly facing the gate stod a big
brown cow with a triangular white
spot in her face. In the twilight the
spot was the shirt-front, the crumpled
horns were the shoulders, and the-
legs were dimly outlined among the
shadows. Without disturbing the
cow he went in, took the boy by the
hand and led him down to the place
Where the frightful object had ap-
peared. As he reached the gate he
called out ‘Come, bossy,’ when the old
cow quietly put her nose through the
gate and welcomed her master with
the low call to which the child was so
well accustomed. .Years afterward
the Uby declared that nothing but
seeing that cow. mom and come to
him would have convinced him that
there was anything there except the
mutilated body that had so agitated
him.”
J FRANK JAMES'S NEW JOB.
Will Guard Bullion Cars Against Western
Train Robbers.
It would be odd if Frank James,
Jesse’s brother, were to die at the
hand of train robbers who followed in
his early footsteps! It may come to
pass, too.
For now that oft quoted bit of ad-
vice, “Set a. thief to catch a thief,”
has been heeded by the express com-
panies who carry fortunes through
the Southwestern States in their
, strong boxes, and who lose them
sometimes at the hands of despera~
does. '
.Frank James. whose career of
crime is, perhaps, second only to that
of his notorious brother Jesse, is to
accept a position as special express
messenger, his duty being no other
than that of meeting train robbers at
their own game.
Frank James is no longer young,
but he can shoot with both hands,
.and shoot straight. But it is not on
that account alone that his services
are in demand. The men who have
made him an offer have decided that
the reputation which the man won as
a desperado, Lwhen the band which
he and his brother led was the dread-
ed scourge of several states, will
prove a better safeguard for their bul-
lion than even his ready revolver.
Indeed, it has been said, and with
some foundation, that if Jesse James
had heeded hisbrother’s warning, he
would never have been shot down by
Ford, whom be trusted so fully that
he removed his pistol belt and turned
his back to him, only to receive his
death wound. Frank James had said:
“Trust no one when the price on
your head is enough to make a man
rich.”
He is willing to becOme a watchdog
and guard bullion for a living provid-
ed the men who wish to employ him
will agree to his terms. '
“I’ll take the job,” he told them,
“and any one who gets the money
from any car I’m riding on will get it
over my dead body. But I’ve been
supporting my family and little more,
and if I go under I want to be sure
that they’ll be provided for.
“Now, ‘-I’ll tell you what I'll do.
You sign an agreement by which they
are to get $20,000 in case I'm killed,
and I’m your man. I know enough
about some of them to be sure that
they can still shoot a little, even if
the business isn’t what it used to be.”
So the man whose name was. once
,i feared throughout several states is
now waiting to see if the expressmen
will pay $20,000 against his stake,
which is his life. It will be strange,
indeed, if the former deeper-ado, the
‘ brains of the most bloodthirsty set of
l outlaws this country has known,
3 stands on the side of the law against
men who regard him and his brother
as patterns to be followed.
s... ro'r‘the First Time.
Blind people’s first experience of
sight is curious. An old man in
Pembroke, Ontario, who was born
blind, received his sight by the re-
moval of a cataract. When the ban-
dage was first removed, the patient
started violently and cried out as if
with fear, and for a while was quite
nervous from the effects of the shock.
For the first time in. his life he looked
upon the earth. The first thing he no-
ticed was a. flock of wild sparrows.
In relating his experience he said
that he thoughtthey were teacups,
although a few moments afterwards
be readily distinguished a watch
which was shown to him. It is sup-
posed that this recognition is owing
to the fact that he heard it ticking.
The blaze from a lamp excited the
mose lively surprise in his mind. He
‘had no idea what it was, and when
it was brought near he wanted to
pick it up. When the night ap-
proached upon the day, when he first
used his eyes, he was in a fright,
fearing that he was losing the sight
which he had so wonderfully found
after sixty years of darkness.
The Good Man’s Compliments.
One Sunday. as a certain Scottish
minister was returning homeward, he
was accosted by an old woman, who
said: .
“Oh, sir, well do I like the day
when you preach.”
The -minister was aware‘that he
,was not very popular, and answered:
“My good Woman. I am glad to hear
it. There are few, like you. And why
do you like it when I preach ?”
“0h, sir,” she replied, “when you
preach I always get a good seat.”
