The lax-President Speaks at Prince-
. ton’s Celebration. ,
Princeton, N. J., Oct. 23.—The one-
hundred-and—fifty-first birthday of
Princeton University was celebrated
here yesterday. A throng of visitors
was on hand, and more than usual in«
I terest was manifested. in this year’s
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:
Harrison, of the University of Pennsyl-
‘vania. and Mrs. Harrison; President‘
Patton, of Princeton University; Mr.
and Mrs. C. B. Alexander,- Mr. and Mrs..‘
LViIliam 13. Dodge, and Mr. and Mrs.
J. J. Cook.
President Patton presided and intro-,
duced the speakers. 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-
dry 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 Lu-
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 or
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 difficulties, that not all
successes, 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- I
mitted to cajole us by boasting of his I
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
manhby 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 ‘our suffrage.”

A. Disgusting Habit Alto"-
gether Too'Familiar.
How to Stop It.
It may be a habit.
It. may be catarrh.
But catarrh is dangerous.
The habit is disgusting.
Cato rrh causes headaches, inflamma-
tion of the eyes, deafness and consump-
tion.
' The habit causes humiliation.
Catarrh and habit should cured.
That they can be cured and have
been cured, and in“ Norwalk, too, the
followingds proof:
Mr. E. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank
“I have
been troubled with catarrh for some
time; my head and nose seemed pretty
‘well stuffed up, and the quantities of
matter that ran into my throat at night
' would cause me to hawk, spit and often
gag in the morning, before I_could clear
my throat. I got some California. Ca-
tarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store,and
already these symptoms are very much
better. My throat is finely free from
all matter in the morning, and my
whole head feels much clearer. ”
. By the use of California Catarrh Cure
perfect cleanliness of the nasal passages
is secured, and the peculiar properties
of the herbs used in its production not
only cleanse the mucous membrane of
all puriform matter, soothing and al-
laying all inflammation, but also .efiec-
tually destroy all forms of fungus which
may grow in the throat and nasal pas-
,sages.
‘5’ It has cured. cases of almost total
deafness, restored the ability to detect.
odors to persons who had almost forgot-
ten what an odor was, and has cured
cases that surely would have resulted
in total blindness. Let no one who has
suffered any of the evils of catarrh,
hesitate to secure a bottle of California
Catarrh Cure. With full faith that he
will obtain relief and cure.
California Catarrh Cure is sold by all
dealers; 50 cents, three times as much
one dollar.
SHAW is THE SOLE HEIR.
Doomed Mun Will Get
Grandmother’s Property.
Camden, 1N. 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 son,
Edward -C. Zane, and the other two,
together with the residue of the estate
and personal property, to {her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Shaw, her heirs 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, E-li' 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

he committed the terrible crime of
.which he stands accused. He is 25
years old and has borne an excellent7

thus far made public by the authorities
is purely circumstantial, but the police
and the public prosecutor say they are
fully convinced that the young man is
guilty of the crimes.

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 Ihis
promise to resign at the end of
scholastic year. He declares, however,
in letters written yesterday, that he is
between two fires. 'He cannot send in
his. resignation 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-estab'lish-ed With-
out a sacrifice on his part. '

Last Evening.
Washington, Oct. .23.——Senorita Cis-
neros' arrival in \Vashington 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.

Four Men Run Down While Strug-

Altoona, Pa... Oct. 23.—Steve Kraus.
John Voznek, Domineck Retznik and
Jan Blatska, four miners, were run
down and killed by a. )Pennsylvania
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 them and ran them down.
Coroner Livingstone identified the
bodies by means of- papers scattered on
the tracks. Some money, contained in
the men’s pockets, was thrown up into
the engin’é tender.
