A letter from Bethlehem, Ponn., to
The Newark Adrcrtiser, gives the fol-
lowing details of Judge ASA PACKERS
munincent flcr to the Trustees of Le-
high University:
"The Lchigh University was found
cd in 1866 by Hon. ASA PACKER, OF
Mauch Chunk, rs polytechnic institu-
ton, having special reference TO the
mining interests of the coal regions.
The sum originally bestowed was $780,
600, the most of which has been used to
erect magnificent college buildings and
houses for the Faculty. Mr.. PACKER
now lays the following propositions be-
fore the Board of Trustees
The institution is to be hereafter un'
der the auspices of the Protestant Eps
copal Church. The tuition is to be alb
solutely free in all the regular classes.
The original endowment is to be in
creased by $2j0,000 as soon as the Boar(
of Trustees raises $l25,000.
A second gift of $250,0O0 will be be
slowed when q second 1928 900 is raiSet
by the Board.
Until the first 1925, 900 is raised, tn
generous founder will give 100000
year towards the incidental expenses.
From these facts it will be seen tina
Judge PACKER intends the institution
to succeed and by throwing open tn
doors under proper regulation to a

of learning in this country. | dout

BERLIN, the capital of the New Ger
man empire, recently witnessed one OF
the most magnificent pageants OF mod
ern times. The victorious army made
its formal entry in triumph, headed by
the Emperor and all the great generals
of the war. Vast crowds from every
part of G Germany lined the streets and
filed the public places and received the
veterans with the widest enthusiasm,
In some instances the lines We're broken
by the populace, and the soldiers were
crowned with wreaths and flowers.
The captured eagles and standards were
born in the van of the procession, and
two thousand cannon, taken from the
French, formed n part of the great
show. The Emperor's path was strewn
with flowers by hundred maidenS
dressed in white. When the march was
concluded, the emperor, in the presence
of all the dignitaries of the empire, un
yelled the new statue of his father
King Frederick William III. He made
a speech, in which he proclaimed tina
the peace so dearly achieved should b'
a lasting one. Won Room was made
count of the empire, and Won MoltK'

Address of the President of the state La

Address of the President Of the state la
bOr Union, of Pennsylvania.
To THE PRoDUCING CLASSES: Friends
and fellow-workmcn of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania: AS president
of the state labor union, ! take the lib
criy of calling upon you to unite with
us in our attempt to bring justice and
liberty TO the people. We havo found
in past years-and at the present much
more than in the past--that aggregated
capital has assumed such gigantic pro-
portions that it becomes necessary for
the producing classes to unite them
selves together to prevent its making
further inroad upon the rights and
liberties of the people. For this pur-
pose we would call on all who believe
in our platform, whether they be farm
ers, mechanics, miners, laborers, pro-
fessional men, as distributors of the pro-
ducts of industry, provided they are
engaged in some useful occupation, TO
form labor unions, and to assist in check
ing the false and wicked legislation
that is now destroying the best interests
of the toiling millions.
Monopoly has assumed an authority
equal to the autocrat. We here assure
you-and the issue is fairly before us
that 1t is time for us to arise in our
strength and stay the tide of oppression
that is now hurrying us on to destruc.

ultimately crown our efforts.
If we view our work in divine light
we can detect the finger of Just BE
ing guiding us on to what we can dim y
discern in the distance. Now it is but
a feeble, hickering flame, but what il
now but small light, will, ere man,

not likely to be accomplished very soon.
1t is mistake to suppose that a side

Every citizen of the town is equally

attracted to it, business is induced,

worthy enterprises in variety are slim

which gives the builder credit on the
town books, against which his local
taxes are annually charged, is an easy
and equitable mode OF obtaining general
paving. Grading the streets is a part
