Princeton, N. J., Oct. 23. -—The one-
hundred— and- fifty-first birthday , 0'
Princeton University was celebiatr-
here yesterday. A throng of visito: .
was on hand, and more than usual i1:-
terest was manifested in this year’.=
commemoration on account of the pres-
ence of Grover Cleveland and Lord
Aberdeen, Governor-General of Canada.
The ex-President was accompanied
by Mrs. Cleveland, while with the Earl
of Aberdeen were Lady Aberdeen, their
daughter, Lady Marjorie Gordon, and
Lieut. Keane. Others present were
President Gilman, of Johns Hopkins
_ University, and Mrs. Gilman; Provost

and. Mrs. -Harrison; President
of Princeton University; Mr.
nd Mrs. C. B. Alexander, Mr. and M15.

President Patton presided and intro-
The exercises be—
gan with the invocation by Dean Mur-
ray, which was followed by an address
by ex—President Cleveland. The degree
of doctor of laWS was formally con—
ferred upon the Earl of Aberdeen, who
responded with an address. A benedic-
tion by President Patton closed the
exercises.‘
Mr. Cleveland took‘ for the subject‘of
his address “The Self~Made Man,” say-
ing in part:
“In the few words I shall speak to-
day there will be no attempt'to lead
you into untrodden fields of thought
or point out new truths. I not only be-
lieve that if I should enter upon such
, an undertaking I would be guilty of
bold presumption, but it seems to me
we can .quite as profitably improve the
time We spend together in renewing
our acquaintance with some old truths
and recalling their relationship to l.u-
man life and effort. In following this
suggestion we shall manifestly find it
easier if we start from familiar ground
and take our departure from some
well-known landmark. With this in-
troduction I hope I may be tolerated
in the announcement that I propose to
submit on this occasion some simple re-
flections concerning the self-'made man.
“We have all seen handsome and
quite elaborately carved articles 0r
trinkets which were made entirely with
a pocket knife. As curiosities they
challenge our interest, because of the
ingenuity of their construction with
such a simple tool, but we do not re—
gard them as more useful for that rea-
son, nor do we for a moment suppose
that the pocket knife was essential to
their construction, or that their beauty
or merit would have been diminished
by the use of more effective and suita-
ble tools. It is well to remember, too,
in considering those who succeed, not-
withstanding dlfflculties, that not all
sneceSSes, even though so gained, are
of that useful and elevating kind that
should excite our admiration. The
churlish‘ curmudgeon who by sharp
practice and avaricious dealing has
amassed a fortune should not be per—
mitted to cajole us by boasting of his
early privations and sordid self-denial;
we are at liberty to resent in any case
the attempt to cover a. multitude of
sins with the cloak of the self-made
_ man, by playing upon our regard for
the worth and labor that conquers a
useful and honorable career; nor should
'the successful political hack be allowed
to distract attention from a damaged
character by parading his humble
origin, his lack of early advantages and
the struggles of his boyhood as inde—
pendent and sufficient proofs that he is
entitled to 0111. suffrage.”
STEAM LAUNCH BLQWS UP.
Boiler Explm‘les on One of
Texas’ Boats—Six Men Hurt.
Bos‘ton, Oct. 23.—The last day of the
the
, visit of the V‘V'hite Squadron to Boston
was marred by an accident on one of
the steam launches of the Texas. Six
men were injured. The explosion oc-
curred about 5.30 o’clock last night.
The launch had just reached the side
of the ship. On the launch were thirty-
five men, including four men working
‘the launch and four officers of the ship.'
As'the craft drew up alongside the ship
the boiler of the launch burst.
The men in the pit with the boiler
were John Phillips and John Fisher.
Fisher was badly scalded. There were
twelve men standingoutside the canopy
when the accident happened. Every
one was thrown into ‘the water. The
men in the ship’s boats picked up all in
the accident.
There is nothing let; of the launch ex-
cept the hull and a few scraps of iron.
The cause of the accident was the ex-
haustion of water in the boiler.

Glasgow, Oct. 23.—The statement was

ing engineers in Glasgow yesterday
that the employers had refused to en-
.ter any conference with the strikers
until the demands made by the men
for shorter hours should be withdrawn

which will drive the engineering busi—
ness from Great Britain‘to foreign
', competitors.” 1-
SHAW lS_‘l"l-| HE SOLE HEIE.
The Doomed Mun Will Get Ills
Grandmother’s Property. .
Camden, -N. J., Oct. 23.—The will of
Mrs. Emma Zane, who, with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Sarah M. Shaw, was murdered
at their home in Line street, on" Oct. 13,
was admitted to probate yesterday.
Mrs. Zane was the owner of three
houses at the time of 'her death. One
of these houses she wills to her sons
Edward C. Zane, and the other two,
together with the residue of the estate
and personal property, to 'her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Shaw, Iher rheirs or assigns.
The will also appoints Mrs. Shaw the
sole executor.
The only 'heir of Mrs. Shaw, who met
death at the same time as the testator,
is 'her son, Eli Shaw, who is now in the
county prison, accused of [having mur-
dered his two relatives.
Although Shaw,. by the death of his
mother and grandmonther, becomes the
beneficiary to the greater portion of his
grandmother's estate. 'his relatives and
acquaintances are loath to believe that
he committed the terrible crime of
which he stands accused. He is 25
yea-rs old and has ‘borne an excellent
character. The evidence against him
thus far made public by the authorities
is purely circumstantial, but the police
and the public prosecutor saythey are
fully convinced that the young man is
guilty ‘of the crimes.
SCH ROEDER WILL RESIGN.
Says He Will Send in His Resigna-
tion as Demanded.
Washington, Oct. 23.—Interest in the
case of Mgr. Schroeder was not abated
in Catholic circles yesterday, notwith-
standing the long and exciting contest
has been settled by the conviction of
the Monsignor of the charges filed
against. him, and the exaction of his
promise to resign at the end of the
scholastic year. He declares, however,
in letters written yesterday, that he is
between two fires. He cannot send in
hisresignation without being publicly
vindicated against charges which he de-
clares are false and calumnious, nor
can he remain in the university at the
expense of his health.
He says that if he is a stumbling
block he is so because he has done what
he thinks is his duty, but he realizes
that on account of the sentiments and
prejudices against him in this hour,
peace will not be re-established with-
out a sacrifice on his part. '
MISS CISERNOS IN WASHINGTON.
The Cuban Mnid- Given a. Reception
Last Evening. .
Washington, Oct. 23.—Senorita Cis-
neros’ arrival in Washington Thurs-
day night was in the nature of a sur-
prise to Washingtonians. Mr. Decker
was expected, but except to a very few
intimate friends his plans were kept a
profound secret.
The entire party are quartered at the
Arlington Hotel, and Spent the day
quietly yesterday. The senorita is ex-
pected to visit the White House before
long, and will doubtless be received by
the President. Last night, Mr. Decker
and Senorita Cls‘neros were given a
brilliant reception at the Columbia The-
arte. To-night a popular reception will
be held at Convention Hall, and a vast
concourse of people is expected to at-
tend. The hall will seat'5,000 persons,
but arrangements are being made to
hold overflow meetings.

Four Men Run Down While Strug-
gling on the,'l‘ruck.
Altoona, Pa, Oct. 23.—Steve Kraus,
John- Voznek, Domin‘eck Retznik and
Jan Blatska, four miners, were run
down and killed by aIPennsylvania
Railroad train at Summerhill yester-
day. The men were seen on the track
a few moments before the accident en-
gaged in a free fight. '
So absorbed were they in their quar-
rel that the train rounded a curve un-
noticed by lhem and ran them down.
Coroner Livingstone identified the
bodies by means of papers scattered on
the tracks.
the men’s pockets, was thrown up into
the engine tender. '
Stuyvesant Cleared.
Philadelphia, Oct. 23.—Sarah Young,
the woman who on Wednesday made
accusations against Marion Stuyve—
sant, now admits that they Were false.
Stuyvesant is the mulatto who was
held on suspicion of being the murderer
of Maj. William C. Wilson, the libra-
rian, but who was. discharged by the
Grand Jury. The woman told detec-
tives that she heard Stuyvesant threat-
en to kill Wilson. When questioned she
said that she made the accusation for
revenge, because Stuyvesant, with
whom she had lived, had reprimanded
her for drinking.
Paper ,Curreney to Be Changed.
Washington, Oct. 23.—At yesterday’s
Cabinet meeting it was decided to
change the designs upon the paper cur-
rency of the Government to make them
more simple, distinctive and artistic.
At present there are nine denomina—
tions of paper currency (Treasury
notes, silver certificates and green-
backs), and twenty-seven different de—
signs. Hereafter there will be but nine
designs, and the various denominations
will be worked by separate colors of
the seals and numbers. The work of
preparing the new plates will begin at
once.
No Application for Ball for Luet'gert.
Chicago, Oct: 23.—Adolph L. Luet-’
gert was brought into court yesterday
morning, as it was expected that ap-
plication would be made for his ad;
mission to,bail. No formal application
was made by his attorneys, and he was
returned to jail.- It is possible that he
will yet go free. The County Commis-
sioners, disgusted with the result of
the murder trial. which has cost the
county between $20,000 and $30,000, will
refuse to appropriate money for anoth-
er t1'ial if Luetgert is admitted to bail.
