St. Paul's Cathedral.
ATTENDED BY KING AND QUEEN
Royal Party Given au Ovntlon. on
Their Progress Through the City
Streets Ceremony at the
, Church.
LONDON, June 8. The noisy jubilation
"with which London has sounded for the
past week was followed today by more
subdued, although not less Impressive,
public demonstrations of thankfulness for
the return of peace In South Africa. The
thanksgiving services held in London
today were typical of the services held
throughout the empire, but the presence
of King Edward and other members of
the royal family at the principal de
votional services in London and the pro
gress of the royal personages to and from
St. Paul's Cathedral through oheering
thousands of British subjects and vis
itors in London, gave thanksgiving day
in the metropolis the added feature of a
notable historic occasion.
The programme of this morning was
not intended to be accompanied by spe
cial ostentation- King Edward and Queen
Alexandra did not pass through the streets
even in semi-state, but rode to St. Paul's
in -an ordinary landau drawn by four
horses accompanied by postillions and out
riders clad in scarlet tunics. Only those
members of the royal family who reside
in Buckingham Palace accompanied their
Majesties. The Prince and Princess of
"Wales and others proceeded to St. Paul's
separately, but by the same route as
did their Majesties. The Xing and Queen
were joined at the cathedral by the
Prince and Princess of "Wales and many
other distinguished personages.
Although the weather was chilly, the
streets for the entire distance from the
palace to the cathedral 'wore lined thickly
with people with bared heads. King Ed
ward, who wore the uniform of a Field
Marshal, was greeted with enthusiasm,
and His Majesty, the Prince of Wales
and the other Princes were busily en
gaged in acknowledging salutations from
the crowd. Lord Roberts, who drove
with bis wife and daughters, was one
of the figures most conspicuously greet
ed with cheers.
The royal personages were driven from
the Mall to Trafalgar Square and through
the Strand and Fleet street. At Tem
ple (Bar officials of the City of London,
for the first time since the Jubilee of
the late Queen Victoria, awaited the
sovereign in state. The King's car
riage was stopped when it reached the
city officials and the Lord Mayor of Lon
don, Sir Joseph C. Dlmsdale. presented
the sword of the city to His Majesty and
uttered a formal welcome. The King re
turned the sword, smiled, bow ed and sim
ply remarked: "Thank you, very much."
The streete leading to St. Paul's Cathed
ral were densely crowded with people
and a number of persons fainted In the
crush outside the barriers which had been
erected within the cathedral.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
alighted at the west entrance of St.
Paul's. Here they were received by the
bishops of stepney and London and con
ducted by them to their seats, which wore
undnr the dome of the building and di
rectly In front of the pulpit. The scats
in the choir stalls were occupied by
members of the present Cabinet and for
mer Cabinets. The gentlemen, in their
dark clothes, formed a somber .group in
the great gathering ' in which the uni
forms -of officials, the costumes of ladles
and white surplices were conspicuous
features.
Members of the House of Lords and
members of the House of Commons were
.seated on opposite sides under the dome.
In addition to the presence of many army
and navy officials, the military prowess
of the empire was represented by de
tachments of the Royal Fuslleers, the
Horse and Foot Guards and other regi
ments. Their Majesties entered the ca
thedral to the accompaniment of the
hymn "Onward, Christian Soldier" by the
trgan and choir, and the throng of wor
shipers rose and heartily joined in the
singing. The cathedral organ was rein
forced by horns and other instruments.
A notable feature of the musical service
-was the rendition of a. Te Deum composed
by the late Sir Arthur Sullivan for a
thanksgiving peace service.
Following the thanksgiving collects,
and at the request of King Edward, the
hymn "O God, Our Help In Ages Past
was sung to the tune of "Old Hundred."
The sermon by the bishop of Stepney was
short and simple and was preached on
the effective text, "The Blessings of
Peace." The service was concluded with
the singing of the national anthem.
The members of the royal family re
turned from the cathedral to Bucking
ham Palace by way of the Victoria Em
bankment. King Edward and the other
royal personages received ovations all
along the route from the crowds, which
had by this time become greatly aug
mented. Thanksgiving; at Pretoria.
PRETORIA, June 8. The services of
thanksgiving for the return of peace to
day were held in the principal square of
Pretoria. The sun shone brilliantly and
the sight was most Impressive. Outside
of the roped lnclosure of troops were
gathered many thousands of the townspeo
ple and a good sprinkling of Boers, whose
demeanor was moBt respectful. The arch
bishop of Cape Town officiated at the
service and Lord Kitchener, General
Baden-Powell and Lady Methuen. wife of
General Methuen, and other prominent
persons were present. The massed bands
of various regiments supplied the music
and the troops and people joined in sing
ing the hymns with wonderful effect. The
singing of "God Save the Kins" and
Rudyard Kipling's "Recessional" closed
the service. Lord Kitchener then mount
ed a dais and called for three cheers
for King Edward. The response of every
body assembled in the square was- im
mediate and unrestrained.
The open letter of the Boer leaders J;o
the burghers, in which peace Is announced
and in which these burghers are coun
seled to loyal acquiescence, is an elo
quent and pathetic document. In it the
leaders thank the burghers for their no
ble sacrifices and express their sympa
thy for the bereaved. The letter con
cludes: "Now that there 1b peace, and although
it is not a peace such as we longed fort
yet let us abide where God has led us.
"We can, with clear consciences, declare
that for two years and a half our people
have carried on the struggle in a man
ner almos unknown in history. Let us
now grasp nach other's hand, lor an
other great struggle lies before us, a
struggle lor the spiritual and racial pros
perlty and welfare of our people. Cast
ing aside all feelings of bitterness, let
us forget and forgive, so that the deep
-wounds caused by this war may be
healed." r - . . .

BERLIN. June 8. The thanksgiving ser
vice for the conclusion of .peace in South
Africa, held .In. .the English church to
day, was attended by the members of the
British Embassy at Berlin, the United
States Ambassador, Andrew D. "White, and
John B. Jackson, Secretary of Embassy.
SURRENDER OF BOERS.
Formality That Often Ends "With'
Dutch Cheers For ICinir Edward.
LONDON, June 8. The War Office -has
received the following message from Lord
Kitchener, under today's date: "The dis
armament of the Boers Is proceeding sat
isfactorily and good spirit is displayed
everywhere. Yesterday 4312 rifles had
been surrendered up to date."
Dispatches received by the Associated
Press from Pretoria confirm the state
ments made in Lord Kitchener's commu
nication to the "War Office, and say that
the whole staff of the late Transvaal
Government, with a bodyguard of 60
men, turrendered last Saturday.
The following formalities are observed
-when General Botha, General Dewet or
any of the Boer commanders accompany
the British officer who has been de
tailed to receive surrenders: The -Boer
leader goes out to meet a commando and
returns at its head. The Boers who come
in are generally dressed in dilapidated
clothing, but have a smart and soldierly
bearing. Those who are to surrender are
assembled and the Boer loader delivers
an address to his men, urging them to
listen to the British officer who has
been detailed on this work. The British
officer then makes a speech to the men
of the commando, in which he informs
them of the admiration of King Edward
and the British Nation for the gallant
struggle and the bravery of their people,
and promises that the British authorities
will do their utmost to help them resettle
on their farms. A meal is then provided
for the Boers, after which the formal
surrender occurs.
In many such instances the Boers have
cheered King Edward and they have some
times expressed surprise that no army
was sent out to receive their surren
ders. The Boers are allowed to retain
their horses and saddles. The majority of
them appear to be glad that the war la
at an end and that they will now be
able to join their families.
Among the men who surrendered to
the British authorities at Balmoral, Cape
Colony, were four Americans, who will
be granted free passage to Delagoa Bay.
A strange sign of the altered condi
tions in South Africa is that Lord Mll
ner, the British High Commissioner, rode
from Pretor;a to Johannesburg last Satur
day accompanied only by two staff of
ficers. A few of the Boer women still Inveigh
against surrender, but the general feel
ing among them is in favor of making
the best of tho situation.

MME. CAMBOX, WHO IS ON A BRIEF VISIT TO WASHINGTON.
One of the most notable of recent additions to the feminine partof Washington
diplomatic society la Mme. Cambon, wlfo of the French Ambassador, who 'arrived
at the Capital City about a. month ago. She. timed her departure from her na
tive land so as to arrive In wasoa to witness the ceremonies attendant unon'th
unvelllns Of the statue of Count De Rochambeau. She was met at New York by
her husband. .
Although M. Cambon has represented 'his government In this country for a
number of years, Mme. Cambon has remained at her home. She made the Jour
iwy to America especially to preside over her husband's Embassy at this time,
and will naturally be the central figure at many smart functions In "Washington.
Although this la her first visit to America, she has many friends In "Washington,
having extended a cordial welcome to her husband's American friends who have
visited Paris.
Mme. Cambon Is a native of Paris, and belongs to an ancient and aristocratic
family. Her home In Paris has been a center for the brainy people of the French
capital. Since M. Cambon's residence here she has been particularly courteous to
all American visitors. A warm friendship exists between her and the wife of the
American Ambassador at Paris, General Horace Porter.
Two reasons have contributed to Mme. Cambon's refusal to visit America
heretofore One is the fact that she suffers greatly from seasickness when on the
water; the other Is the precarious health of her daughter, a girl of 12. She has
two other children, boys. The eldest, Roger, will graduate from the College of
St. Cyr, th West Point of France, in about two years; the second, Jules' Cam
bon, Is at a preparatory college in Faijls. Mme. Cambon la greatly devoted to
her children, and hr reluctance to leave them has bad, considerable Influence in
keeping her la France.
stopped work last night and that otsveral
fire bosses, who had taken the places of
strikers, had also quit. At a meeting of
engineers at Plttston last night, 30 en
gineers, who had not obeyed the strike
order, decided not to go to work tomorrpw.
The few union men who are still at
work, Mr. Mitchell says, will be out dur
ing the week.
Moet of the general superintendents of
the coal companies, as a rule, had. noth
ing to say today. One admitted that a
good many companies are scratching
pretty hard for good, competent men to
run their engines and pumps. The coal
companies have been favored by a long
spell of dry weather and the strikers are
wishing for a heavy fall of rain. The
strikers are of the belief that most of the
lower levels of the. mints are filling be
causo the companies are short-handed and
that the pumps cannot keep tip with the
water that Is draining Into the workings.
A heavy rain, they say, will send a cor
respondingly heavy volume of water ln
to tho mines, which would overwhelm
many pumps.
President Mitchell was In telephonic
communication with National Secretary
Treasurer W. B. Wilson, of tho United
Mlneworkers. at Indianapolis, today over
the situation In the West Virginia soft
c6al fields. Mr. Mitchell said there was
nothing to be given to the public at this
time, because he had not received full
particulars of the situation in that re
gion. Mr. Wilson, he said, did not know
any more than himself. ,
Tomorrow begins the fifth week of the
suspension of anthracite coal mining and
a settlement of the dispute seems to he
no nearer than it was when the strike
began, May 12. f
Tho house-tohouee canvass of miners
committees in an endeavor to bring out
those who have refused to strike and
also those who have taken the place? of
strikers Is still being prosecuted vigor
ously. Many of the men who are still working
complain that their houses ate stoned
almost nightly. The method Is to" gather
a sroall'body of men and boys and at a
signal send a storm of stones against the
dwellings, breaking windows and frighten
ing the inmates.
The police department of. this city to
day ordered the removal of "all effigies
that have been strung up since the Etrlke
began. A large number had been removed,
but the policemen managed to find 18 of
them In the city today. Twenty of them
were seen In the region above Wllkes
barre as far as Pittston.
A new method has been found for hold.
Ing up to ridicule those men who refused
to stop work. At Forty Fort and at
Miners' Mills mounds were made In Imi
tation of a grave, and on them were placed
cards containing this Inscription: "Death
to Scabs," "Here Lies the Remains of
." The card then gives the name of
tho man held up to ridicule.
Editor Seward, of the Seward Trade
JoUrnal, came to town tonight. He de
nied a rumor that he oame here on a
secret mission In behalf of the operators,
but said he would have an interview with
President Mitchell tomorrow morning. He
believes the operators might be Induced
to arbitrate if the. matter were submitted
to a practical board of arbitration. It is
asserted tho Civic Federation fcas only
ine operators are opposca to suDimiung
to the dictation of this body.

- KEYSTONE, W. Va- June 8. There

to their ranks tomorrow. The few collier
ies of the Tug River and Simmons Branch
fields that operated today will be com
pletely tied up tomorrow, if the operators
Ignore the appeal of the mlneworkers for
a joint meeting. Several operators here
are now arranging for Hungarian miners,
and It Is said 100 will be here by the mid
dle of next week. The operators also
claim that they will enforce their order
that all strikers shall vacate company
houses. The strikers say they will not
move out, and serious trouble is expect
ed. Probably men will be brought here
to protect the property of the operators
and also to enforce the orders to the strik
ers to vacate company houses.
Enforcing: an Old Injunction.
MONTGOMERY. W. Va., June 8. While
many miners worked here yesterday, it la

l
son against Interference with property or
men.
It is reported that Colonel W. P. Rend,
of Chicago, one of the largest operators In
this state, has agreed to grant the de
mands of the miners. There to much in
terest in anticipation of an announcement

other mines are urging those at the Rend
mines not to resume until concessions are
made to all.

SHAMOKIN. Pa., June 8. The homes
of Charles Albert, Robert Thomas and
William Rodin, nonunion employes of the

if anyone ventured upon his premises,
whereupon the crowd dispersed. The po
lice today and last night destroyed a num
ber of efflglea that had been hung around
town.
In the Flat Top Field.
BLUEFIELD, W. Va.. June 8. There Is
comparatively no new developments In
this the second day of the Flat Top coal
strike. The local strike leaders are still
very sanguine, stating that their claim
of yesterday that SO per cent of the men

men would return to work. Monday morn
ing. Quiet reigned over the entire field
today.
Lockout at Denver.
DENVER. June 8. The Contractors and
Material Men's Association today issued a
statement to the effect that they would
not take back to work any of the striking
builders unless they would dissolve the
Building Trades Council. Thla the men
say they will not do, and the situation
now partakes of the nature of a lockout.
The mill men held a meeting today, but
no decision was reached In regard to tak
ing back the striking employes.
Serious Results Expected.
DAVY, W. Va., June 8. There has been
no serious trouble here, but the operators
announce that tomorrow morning they
will operate their mines with nonunion
labor. The strikers say that nonunion
men shall not enter the mines. The op
orators are putting guards armed with
Winchesters about their property, and
serious results are expected tomorrow.

CLARKSBURG,, W. Va., June 8. The
miners strike was unchanged today. Sev
eral small secret meetings were held by

cess of the strike.

MONOGHAE. W. Va., June 8. This
was a quiet day In the poal region of
Northern West Virginia. A meeting held

the center of the New. River coal fields,
the miners today paraded the narrow
valley of New River. Yesterday 5 per
cent, of the miners in the New River
and the Kanawha River districts were
out, and it is thought that not G per cent,
of the miners in these fields will be at
work tomorrow. Only one-fifth of the
usual shipment of coal from, these fields
went out yesterday.
Mnst Vacate Company Houses.
NORTH FORK, Va., June S. Coal

DISCUSSED AT "WHITE HOUSE.
The President and Commissioner
Wright Tnllc Over the Strike.
WASHINGTON, June S. The Presi
dent today talked with Carroll D. Wright,
United States Commissioner of Labor,
for some time regarding the situation In
the anthracite coal region. Mr. Wright
came to Washington at the request of
the President to get his views on tho
question and to discuss what might be
done under the law giving the Commis
sioner of Labor the right to Investigate
affairs of this kind and to collect Infor
mation relating to them which may be
reported to the President or to Con
gress. Tho President stands ready at
any time to be of any service possible to
aid In effecting a settlement of the dif
ferences existing betwen the operators
and miners. It this be possible. No state
ment was obtainable a the White House
tonight as to the result of the confer
ences between the President and Mr.
Wright. Late In the day Mr. Wright left
Washington for New, York, where he has
business demanding his attention.
Under the act creating the Department
of Labor the Commissioner is empower
ed to investigate the cause of labor
trouble that Interferes with the welfare
of the people of the different states and
report the same to Congress or to the
President. Persons familiar with the
law, however, question its utility, saying
ample information is already public prop
erty through statements printed iri the
newspapers, and that no one has author
ity under the law to take any action on
the information which may be obtained.
Tho law of 1S33 specifically requires that
the chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commislson and the Commissioner of
Labor shall use their best efforts to set
tle disputed labor matters amicably upon
the request of each party to the con
troversy, thus making It a prerequisite to
any action through the government chan
nels, but the initiative must bo taken by
any one of the Interested parties.
Just what business Mr. Wright may
have which will consume hi? time In
New York for several days Is not known
here, but the impression prevails that
ho may undertake to look somewhat Into
the matter of the differences between
the operators and tlie miners as a posslblo
basis for a further consideration of tho
matter by the chief executive.
MANIFESTO OF TRAITCMEJf.
Will Not Carry Special Officers, Depn-
ties or Non-UnionistJK
HAZLETON, Pa., June 8. At their
meeting at Freeland this afternoon, tho
employes of the Dcleware, Susquehanna
& Schuylkill Railroad refused to handle
any trains carrying special officers, de
puties or non-unlonlsts. The following
resolution, addressed to Superintendent
Luther C. Smith, of the road, was
adopted:
"Resolved, That, owing to the strike of
the anthracite miners, we, the employes
of the Deleware. Susquehanna & Schuyl
kill, will refuse to handle any trains
carrying deputies, coal and Iron police
or non-unlonlsts during the continuance
of the present trouble."
It Is understood the company will not
ask the men to continue the work, but
will depend upon the Lehigh Valley to
take these special trains from one col
liery to the other. Some of the Lehigh
Valley trainmen declined during the past
two days to handle these trains, and
crews were recruited with some difficulty.
The Lehigh Valley trainmen held a se
cret meeting here this afternoon and de
cided that they will not handle any
coal mined at the collieries or any soft
coal sent over the Hnzleton division to
displace anthracite during the continua
tion of the strike. They will continue
manning trains, carrying officers and dep
uties and men recruited In the big cities
If they are not Imported in such large
numbers as to enable the companies to
resume mining of coal with non-union
forces.
Rumors are current tonight that an ef
fort will be made In the morning to start
up the washery at the Cranberry colliery
of A. Pardee & Co. and the No. 40
Lehigh Valley mine with non-union hands.
Everything was quiet in. this section to
day. Inducements are being offered to
striking anthracite miners to work in
the mines In British Columbia.
UNION'S DEMANDS GRANTED.
Threatened Strike at Chicago Stock
yards Averted.
CHICAGO, June 8. The threatened
strike tomorrow of all the allied unions
employed by the different meat-packing
concerns was averted tonight by the
stockyards company surrendering to the
Stockyards Employes' Union. All the de
mands of the union were granted and the
cattle drivers, who were recently dis
charged after forming a union, will re
turn to work tomorrow. The settlement
was brought about by Mlchaol Donnelly,
president of the butchers and meat-cutters'
National organization. Mr. Don
nelly has held several conferences with
dfllcers of the company in an effort to
adjust the dispute, and as a last resort
notified the company that unless the men
should be reinstated at once all the union
employes at the stockyards would be
called out. The company's surrender came
as a great surprise to the men and thero
was general rejoicing that one of the
strikes contemplated in Chicago had been
avoided. '
Rhode Island Street Railway Strikes.
PROVIDENCE. R. I., June 8. The
scene of action In the street railway
strike today shifted from this city, where
quiet has been restored for two days, to
Jawtucket and Central Falls. In these
cities the cars of tho United Traction
Company were stoned. Jeering crowds
thronged the streets and the frequency
with which obstructions were placed on
the tracks made the running of cars al
most Impossible. Armed officers guarded
every car. One special deputy was at
tacked and relieved of his prisoner, and a
crowd of sympathizers broke into a car

REID IN LONDON,

at Brooke House.
LONDON, June 8. Whltelaw Held, the
special envoy of the United States to the
coronation of King Edward, who arrived
at Queenstown yesterday on the steamer
Umbrla, Is now comfortably settled In the
capacious Brooke house here. Mr. Reld's
first day in England was a busy one. It
was nearly 4 o'clock this morning before
he arrived at Euston station, where the
royal carriages which had been sent to
convey, him to Brooke house were In wait
ing. In spite of the hour, J. Pierpont
Morgan, Jr., Edmund Lincoln Bayllse, of
New York, and William Wetmore, son of
Senator Wetmore, of Rhode Island, who
aro secretaries to the special embassy,
were on the platform to greet thje tihlef.
Early in thetday, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir
Fleetwood Edwards and Lieutenant-Colonel
Arthur Collins, C. B.. equerries as
signed by King Edward to the special
embassy, called Informally upon Mr. Reld
to pay their respects. The equerries
placed their services at his disposal and
conveyed to him their congratulations
upon his arrival In London. These calls
were particularly pleasing, as officially the
duties of the equerries are not supposed
to begin until later In the month, when
Mr. Reld will formally begin his work.
Mr. Reld made an early call upon Joseph
H. Choate. the United States Ambassador,
who returned the visit later In the day.
All the members of tho United States
embassy also went to'Brooke house dur
ing the day, as "did the secretaries of the
special embassy. A number of personal
friends also called. This evening there
was a quiet family dinner at Brooke
houee, at which Mrs. Cowles, wife of Com
mander W. F. Cowles, formerly naval at
tache to tho United States embassy In
London, was the only guest.
Mr. Reld said to a representative of the
Associated Press: "There Is really noth
ing to say. except that I had a most com
fortable trip over, and am looking forward
with considerable pleasure to fulfilling my
duties here."
Mr. Reld's plans have hardly yet been
determined. Tomorrow he will present his
credentials to Lord Lansdowne, the For
eign Secretary, and next Wednesday he
will dine with Mr. and Mrs. Choate upon
the occasion of their dinner to King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra. A number of
formal dinners have been arranged in Mr.
Reld's honor, while Brooke house Itself
will be the scene of many brilliant gather
ings before the special embassy returns
to the United States.
Presiding at a concert held on board the
Umbrla last Friday night in aid of the
Liverpool seamen's orphanage, Mr. Reld
said that King Edward was following In
the footsteps of his worthy mother, who
was always referred to in the United
States, not as "Queen Victoria," but sim
ply as "the Queen." He said also that
the eyes of the whole world were turned
to King Edward's coronation, and that he
hoped His Majesty would live long to fol
low In the footsteps of his Illustrious
mother.
MORALITY IN COLLEGES.
Temptntions There No Greater Than
Elsewhere, Says Dr. Pntton.
PRINCETON, NT" J., June 8. The
feature of today's commencement pro
gram was the baccalaureate sermon
preached by President Patton. The pro
cession of trustees, ficulty and members
of the senior class formed in front of
Nassau Hall, and, headed by President
Patton and ex-President Grover Cleve
land, marched to Alexander Hall. Mrs.
Cleveland and Mrs. Patton were in the
audience. Among other things. Dr. Pat
ton slid:
"Sooner or later a man must be free;
sooner or later he takes charge of his
own conscience, and a university is one
of the best training places for this. I
say this because an Impression abounds
that a university is a plice of terrible
temptation, and mothers often debate
the question whether they should sacri
fice intellect for morals. They think It is
difficult for a man to acquire an educa
tion except at a great risk, and men
speak about the temptations of college
life as If there were no temptations In
business; as if the banker and broker
lived In a holler atmosphere; as If the
apostles of Wall street were In closer
touch with the ten commandments than
other men. I know of no place where
a man may be trusted to work out the
best in him so well as In a Christian
university. If you have been faithful
to the early training you have received,
It has been helped by coming here."
Speaking of the falling off of candi
dates for the ministry among college
graduates, President Patton said:
"Some people complain that so few
men arc now entering the mlnlstery and
give every reason for this but the true
opo. Tho reason is simply this: We are
living in an age of intellectual transition
and burning unrest, and, therefore, I

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.
Bishop BnrKCM Says Prizes ShonldL
Be Honor, Not Money.
NEW YORK, June 8. Bishop Burgess,
of the Episcopal diocese of Long Island.
In the baccalaureate sermon to the stu
dents of Columbia and Bernard College,
cald that while the names of the winners
of athletic prizes were preserved in bronze,
those who won the Greek prizes at uni
versities were more often writ in water.
Continuing, the bishop said:
"It has been said that physical develop
ment of the highest type and mental de
velopment of the highest type are Incom
patible with one another. The time has
passed when we can pass by the body,
and we realize that the man strong in
health will be better able to fight tho
battles of life and the demons of fancy
that haunt men. If the body Is" trained
to respond to the stimulus of the cold
bath, there Is little chance for the demon
of intemperance to get Its hold. In tho
first place, let me say the mercenary con
ditions should be eliminated from athlet
ics. These conditions have been growing
steadily for the past 20 years. Do not
misunderstand me; I do not mean that tho
contestants are mercenary, but the or
ganization Is. Those gathering to see a
contest should be the guests of the stu
dents or of the university, and In this way
the most objectionable feature of college
athletics would be removed. The prlze3
competed for should be like those of old
honor. Away with tho gate money, away
with the seat money! Let the young men
compete, not for money, but for honor."
Danger of Pleasure-Seeking-.
POUGHKEEPSlE, N. Y., June S. In the
baccalaureate sermon at Vassar College
today President Taylor spoko of the
"deadening effect of pleasure-seeking on
all the higher activities of life." and ex
pressed the opinion that all that is good
In our lives is threatened by the pleasure
seeking spirit of the present age. Many
students, he said, feel that the best thing
to be gotten from college is the chance for
a good time. This spirit undermines the
physical vigor and dulls the mental power.
