A Brilliant Life Ended.

Dr. Theodore D. Woosley whose death
occurred at his home in New Haven last
Monday morning at the ripe old age of
four score and eight years, was one of the
most profound thinkers and thorough
educators of New England. He was
born in New York. October 31, 1801. He
graduated from Yale in 1820. He then
went to Philadelphia and studied law a
year, after which he entered Princeton
and studied theology two years. He was
a tutor at Yale for the next two years and
1825 was licensed to preach. Soon after-
ward he went abroad and for three years
devoted himself to the study of the Greek
language in Germany, France and Italy.

Upon his return to this country he was
chosen professor of the Greek language
and literature, at Yale which position he
held till 1846, when he was placed ~ at the
head of the institution.

He remained as president till 1871
when feeling old age creeping upon him
and anxious for rest from his laborious
duties he resigned.

President Woolsey was not only a spec-
ialist in the Greek language, literature and
theology but was regarded as good autho-
rity on international law. ,

He was the author of several ' books on
literature, theology, law and political
economy. .

His greatest work in this line, however,
was one of revision, he being a member
of the American committee of Revisers of
the New Testament, and its chairman
from 1871 to 1881.

Dr. Woolsey had been feeble formonths,
but a day or two before commencement
he made a tour of the campus, leaning on
the arm of his daughter. After gazing at
the familiar scene he said:

“I shall not again behold those dear
old walls, for I am soon going to meet my
classmates in the world above.”

On Friday he was able to walk a short
distance, and to the last he was in com-
plete possession of his mental faculties
and understood perfectly that he must
soon die. With perfect composure and
apparently complete trust, he kissed his
family good-bye and awaited the end.
Words cannot fitly describe the expression
of peace on the face of the dying scholar
as he said :

“My work is done and I am ready.
God bless you all, and God bless dear old
Yale.”

The funeral services were held in the
College Chapel yesterday at 3 p. m., Pres-
ident Dwight officiating. The services
were very solemn and impressive and
were largely attended. The interment
was in the old Grove street cemetery
where rest the remains of many noted

people. ,

Like President Dwight, Dr. Woolsey
was very popular with the students, and

hundreds of Yale men all over the country
will mourn his loss. May his soul rest in
Peace.

Teach Swimming.

We are now well along in the drowning
season. You can hardly take up any
newspaper now without reading a drown.
ing story either in its locakor its telegraph
news. Now and then the'lost people were
drowned by the capsizing of a. boat, but
oftenest they were bathing and belonged
to that large class who go under the stereo.
type head “could not swim.”

Now nearly all such deaths are avoid-
able. If only people would learn to swim,
. only children were taught the art, then
when the boat upset they would take
care of themselves, and when they went
bathing (a healthy practice deserving all
encouragement) they would come back
again alive. Our public school system is
essentially paternal or socialistic, which-
ever it may be called. It does a good
many things now that theoretical people
might be left to do for themselves. Why
not add instruction in swimming? Isn’t
it worth the cost? If they teach singing,
which some people are designed by their
creator to be incapable of, why not teach
swimming, which we all can learn it put
to it, but which is now so much neglected.
It is true the bathing that nearly everybody
takes to in warm weather is a benefit
vastly overbalancing the losses by drowu—
ing. It probably saves many more lives
than it destroys. But the losses can all be
avoided. Common sense would save
many a home, now happy, from the sor-
row that this summer has in store for it,
and boys and girls should be taught to
swim even if they have to be forced to it.

Judge L. M. Slade—On the Bicycle.

In his lecture to the students of the
Bridgeport Business College Monday, he
said: “It may be said of the bicycle
riders that they appear to be of the class
of young men who seek to do credit and
honor to themselves, both in their person—
al appearance and behavior. They do. not
deem it essential to their highest enJoy-
ment to “paint the town red” when they
assemble to test their riding skill and for
pleasure as well. They soon learn to ride
well by carrying themselves in that erect
and cquipoise position that is erect and
becoming. Each rider gives his whole
attention to his wheel and is not borster -
ous, but works his way onward applying
both his physical and mental forces to the
best advantage. Bicycle riding is pop—
ular and will become more so. It tends
to lift the young men into a better atmos—
phere and takes them away from places
of so-callcd amusement, where otherwise
they might meet too frequently for their
good. It takes but a finger mark, some-
times, to change the course of a rapid
rhea—Farmer.

tery and diarrhoea. regulates the atom ac and

one of the oldest and best female nurses in
and physicans in the United States, and is for
sale by all druggists throughout the world.

for Children Teething is

Life Insurance.

The Massachusetts Insurance icommiss-
ioner has caused a commotion by exposing
the system of “mulking” policy holders
of part stock and part mutual, life insur-
ance companies, as was illustrated by the
exposure in our legislature of the attempt
made by the Hartford Phoenix Life Insur-
ance company to sell out to a Philadelphia
syndicate. The remarks of Commissioner
Merrill in his annual report which has so
aroused the indignation of these life com-
panies, is respectfully referred to the Hart—
ford Phoenix. He says: “The Commis-
sioner is in full sympathy with Opposition
to the general principle of allowing stock
to ride upon and suck the blood out of
life insurance. That stock may serve a
useful and proper need in the youth of a
company in steadying it until it gains
stability and firmness, and should be paid
and well paid for its risk and service; but
when it is no longer needed it should be
absolutely severed and dismissed, and not
to be allowed to remain an incubus and
burden upon the whole future. That
services rendered to life insurance, ,. as to
anything else, should be well and properly
paid for, but that the institution should
never be allowed to be used as a purely
money making concern by a gang of
greedy stockholders, who, in violation of
law, or in the absenCe of law, have . con-

trived to foist and continue themselves-

upon it, and not only unrighteously
squeeze it to pay enormous dividends
upon the original investment, but even
plunder it for more capital on which to
draw added and endless dividends and
rewards for left-handed services. This
imposition would not be permitted an
instant upon a savings bank, and the Leg-
islature should permit it on a life company
no longer than it could pass an act to
compel, if not a restoration of the plunder,
at least a prevention of its continuance by
retirement of the stock."

The popularity of the mutual system is
well demonstrated by the success of the
Mutual Life Insurance company of New
York, the largest life insurance company
in the world. Its membership now ex-
ceeds 160,000. It has a fund of $126,082,-
153 to meet the claims of its policy hold-
ers, and since organization in 1843, it has
paid to its members over $272,000,000.
The mutual system has been tried, and it
offers more advantages and greater profit
to the insured than any other, a fact which
Commissioner Merrill of Massachusetts
clearly sets forth.

A large number attended the bicycle
races at Seaside Park, Bridgeport Mon-
day afternon. In the first race, one mile
ordinary, were ten entries. First prize
was won by W. G. Class of New York,
time eight minutes, second Ludwig Foster
of Hartford, time 8:01 1 5. One half mile
ordinary, first. J, W. Schaefier of New
York, 1:35,}; second, Ludwig Forster of
Hartford, 1:371). One mile, safety, ten

entries, first, G. A. Pickett of New
Haven, 3:03;, second William Hard.
ing of Hartford, 3:04}. Three

miles ordinary, eight entries, first, S.
L. Clark of New. York 10:17 4 5, second
W. F. Murphy of Brooklyn, 10:19!» One
mile tandem safety, four entries, first Wil-
liam Harding and Lugwig Forster of Hart-
ford, 3;08, second A. N. Welton and C. A.
Larom of New Haven, 3:08 3 5. One mile
championship of Bridgeport, five entries,

first C A. Fox, 3:21 1}, second F. Lebing,
3:22 1 5.

Some idea of the extent of Krupp’s
establishment may be gathered from a
work just published at Essen. In 1833
there were only nine workmen, and in
1848 seventy-four. In July, 1888, the
establishment employed 20,960 men, of
whom 13,626 were at Essen. Including
the families of the workmen they sup-
ported a population of 73,769 souls, of
whom 24,193 lived in houses provided by
the firm. There are at Essen 1,195 fur—
naces of various construction. 286 boilers,
92 steam hammers, 370 steam engines
with a total of 27,000 horse power, 1,724
different machines,:and 361 cranes.
coal and coke 2,735 tons are used daily,
and eleven high furnaces of the latest
construction produce nearly 600 tons of
iron per day.
