To Almcc Mater,
This beautiful poem was read before
the alumni of the Willamette University
at their re-union, June 10th, by flobert A.
Miller, orbe class or '73. Bal.m States
man. Alma Mater, I come breathing scorn for
that world,
Ever sung in thy songs, ever praised by
thy lip;
And asain to ihy keeping thy chart I have
burled
That has wrecked in life's Hood-tide our
hopc-Udeu ship.
I couw, Foster Mother, from lire earth
ilriltoflire,
Wh ro the surbo ofesoV-owave leavcsa
wreck or the shore.
And the nrockliigoTllopi: breeds a scorn
that isrifc
For the toilers seeking ever wisdom and
lorn.
Yes, with scorn burning fierce as the fury
ol hale:
For Pre seen, ''mid the toils of life's turb
ulent sea.
The flower of our genius borne on to their
fate.
To be mingled at last with the drift and
debris.
Yes, I come whence the tread ot innum-
crous leet
Arc eter pressing on to Life's purposeless
goal;
Where the mad surging crowd in the lite
wrecking street
Crush down and crush out every hope of
tuc soul.
Yes, I come whence the lancers of Mam.
lnon's gay court
Trample down honored Truth in the battle
for train :
Where Honesty starves in Honor's grim-
guaraea tort
And the protects ot learning arc heard all
in vain.
Yes, I come whence the warring of faith-
oiinQLU o reals
Mock the progress of science that speeds
on before;
Where tho world judges men by the sum
of their deeds,
And the slugger keeps p ice with the sage
and his lore.
Yes, I come whence the true and the false
ride at case,
Whence the vile and the pure drink the
ltes oi despair.
Whence the populace annul the Law's
Just decrees,
And a midnight of wrong flames afar on
the air.
Yes, I come whence the world'3 sadly
overworn mass
Hides an imbecile visage distorted with
nze:
pVhcre shallow pretense and life'3 noblest
task
Wins applause, wins a jeer, on thatworld's
honored stage 1
Oh! that ocean of life we were trained for
in youth!
That world, Alma Mater, where no battles
are lost?
The one's a mirage over the image tf
truth,
The other' a myth where sword and
lance never crossed.

period a larce ntiiulier of insane per

brought to public notice by moro tiior
ougb examinations. In America,
apart from several large ccuntr asy
Iura there are eighty slate and forty
private institutions for trie caro' of the
insane, with a proper capacity for
about 40,000, but containing 53,192,
thus leaving probably 5000 to be cared
for eUe here. The proportion of in
sane is greatest in New England, while
the increase bas been most rapid in the
western states. In the state of New

for the care; of the unfortunate people,

it is said that there are 4000 provided

great, broad city, far extending as

graceful symmetrical lost dome. Not

fortalde Cabin is a reproduction what
tho far West Still contains. There art;
the tow latch string and lliu wooden

but rugs of tori. The board bed i
covered and lined with the jikifW of

of his happiest and uuhappiei

and, who' wanted to get rid of a lot of
Chinese inhabiting a camber of cabins
neaf the Oregon Railway and Naviga

This the Chinese refused to do, wheffe
upon one of the fire engines and hose
cartsy belonging to the Ctiy Depart

fiagrstioni and the CabFns were then
fired and allowed (o burn to the

Chinese fled. The cause of the attack
was that the Chinese were a nuisance

that the s) stem will be tested iu out

Autumn, and this extension will de

Assistant Postmaster General the ap
propriation for star-route service has"
been increased $300,000; for railroad
service 5410,000, and for railway er
vice $410,000, and for .ailway postal
clerks $382,3000, thus allowing for tho"
wholesome expansion of the transpor
tation service. Only $14,300 will b
available for extension of the existing
special mail facilities or fast mail ser
vice, and it has not yet been determ
ined how to apply this appropriation!
A clause in the new bill pro ides that
the Postmaster General may extend

between New York and 'Havana, and
