The Scmi-Centnenary Class.

The class of 1923 was particularly
marked in College as that with which the
plans Of Professor Robert B. Patton were
first fully developed. Professor Patton
was from Philadelphia. For personal
reasons, being student of Middlebnry
College, he removed his connection to
Yale, and graduated there in 1917. He
was appointed Tutor in Middebury for
the year 1Sl7-1S, and during this year
was elected to the proiessorship Of Ian
guagcs, then filled by Professor Hough
Accepting it he sailed, to complete his
preparations in Germany. The Europe.
an languages with the Classical Universe
ty course became his studies there, and
on his return, with qualifications of ma
turc and early training as high as any
man possessed, he had no superior at that
period in the department of instruction
to which he was devoted. He established
in 1928, the Pathological Society and
mainly furnished its library from his own
books. He resigned the professorship in
1925, accepting a similar place in Prince.
ton, and died in 1898, after having re
signed the Greek prolessorship in the
New York University. During his brief
period at Mddlebury the distinguished
linguistic scholars were initiated Pro.
fessors Conant, Henry Smith, Wines and
Owen.
The representative of the class OF 1923
at the Alumni dinner, Mr. Joseph Bat
tell, of New York, was its youngest
member, but with an earlier preparation
than is usual was equally as mature in
their pursuits. He was very cordially
received at the festival, and the next day
was joined by his classmates, Hon Messrs.
Merritt Clark and Harvey Button, of this
State. The following communications
from absent members of the class were
read in the annual meeting Of the Alum
nj on Wednesday morning The full
class number was eighteen of whom eight
survive.

A TIMELY ToPIc.-Nlr Orion, presi-
dent of the Western Union Telegraph
Company has furnished for publication
the details of the plan arranged by Cen
eral Eckert, Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Hinch-
man, the Superintendent of the First
District, with Professor Hardness and
others connected with the National Oh.
servatory in Washington, to regulate by
telegraph the public time The system,
it is claimed, will secure u correct time
in all parts of the country. 1t is de-
signed to have clocks in the depots Of the
leading railway lines in the principal
cities, to be regulated by the clock in the
Western Union Office, as that is regulated
from Washington, thus securing uniform
public time. From them connections will
be made with the smaller towns along the
line, either in the same way, or by dials
operated by electric magnets. Mr. Or
ton said to-day that it was still question
whether Washington or New York time
could be furnished to the railways in this
manner. Many of the Eastern railways
are already run on New York time, which
is also general as far west as Buffalo.
There is great variation, however, show
ing the necessity Of some uniform stand
ard. A traveller coming from Boston to
this city goes by Boston time to Spring
field, thence by New York At the
Grand Central depot it is said some trains
leave on New York time and others by
Albany, SO that travellers are likely to
make serious mistakes. Two sets OF
hands will be attached to the regulated
clocks, operated by the same movement,
and indicating at once the standard and
the local time.

DARING MAIL RoBBERY AT LANCASTER
PA.-Monday evening oflast week, about
8 O'Clock, several pouches containing mail
matter were taken from the post office at
Lancaster, Pa, to the depot, and put on
hand truck, to await the arrival of the
Pittsburgh express train They were un-
der the close guard of railroad officials un-
til three minutes before ten; but at ten,
when they were put on the train, the
New York and Philadelphia pouches were
discovered to be missing. At az early
hour next morning both pouches were
found in an obscure part Of the city, cut
open and rihed Of their contents. An
old German on Tuesday presented check
at the bank, and his manner aroused sus.
piclon. On being arrested another check
was found on him, and other Circumstance
es make it certain that he was the thief.
The bags contained all the mail matter
deposited during the day. for Philadelphia,
New York and offices for the East. About
two hundred and twenty-five of the let
tiers contained in the stolen pouches, to-
gether with package Of jewelry, have
been recovered with the seals unbroken.
The others, numbering many hundreds,
are torn into many fragments, and the post
Office clerks are busily engaged in assort-
ing and arranging them. What the ex-
tent Of the loss may be is as yet unknown.
The bankers are nearly all represented in
the robbery, though they lose but little,
as they very seldom send by mail papers
that can be made use of if they should
happen to fall into dishonest hands.

A Possible BUT Nor DElRApLE CnIEf
JusrICE.-Thorc are u number of excel.
lent reasons why Mr.. Roscoe Conkling OF
Utica should not be appointed Chief JUS
tice Of the United States. But, If we
correctly understand the matter, there is
no reason why he can't be.
1t is true, the New York Erening Post
thinks il has discovered such reason,
and quite number of less intelligent
journals accept the discovery on faith.
The Post quotes, IL "a " settler" this
clause Of the constitution: NO senator
'or representative shall, during the time
for which he was elected, be appointed
to any civil Office under the authority OF
the United Suites, which shall have been
created, or the emoluments whereof shall
have been increased, during such time.
Now this clause is undoubtedly fatal to
the hopes of senators like Mr.. Edmunds
of Vermont aud Mr.. Carpenter of Wis
consin, whose terms run out in 1873.
The increase of salary business has cooked
their geese very handsomely. But Mr..
Conkling and Mr.. Howe do not happen to
be in that boat. Their terms, the time
for which they were elected, ran out on
the third day of last March. The sponge
in their case. has been passed over the
slate. A reelection has interviewed. 1t
is new term which they are now serv-
ing. With our present light, we cannot
see why either Of them is not as eligible,
in the constitutional sense, as Judge Hoar
or Judge Curtis, or Mr.. Evarts
The real ineligibility in Mr.. Conkling's
case is political and moral one. To APP
point a gentleman to the chief-justiceship
who is not yet known to have returned
his grab, and whose last public appear
ance to date was as the paid attorney Of
the New York Central railroad company,
would be 20 slap every farmer in the face.
We do not believe the present administra.
ton is foolish enough or reckless enough
for this; we shall not believe it until we
see it. Here, then, is a political ineligi.
bility.
The moral ineligibiity consists in the
fact that Mr.. Conking would owe his APP
pointment, in case he got it to his intense
partisanship and his services" on the
stump and in the Senate am5er.-not
to his ripe knowledge of the law nor any
recognized fitness in natural temperament
for the judicial function. As n matter oil
fact, Mr. Conkling's temperament is the
exact reverse of that required to properly
discharge the duties of so elevated and
theoretically passionless an Office as the
chief-justiceship He is as barrow as he
is strong, prone to contract violent preju.
dices and dislikes, slow in getting rid oil
them, an indefatigable hater, painfully
seli-conscous, and without any sense oil
umor.-Sprinqfeld Republican.

TIE ADVANCE IN Coal. The great
coal monopoly is playing its hand just a
present very boldly, and, in spite of d.
minished demand and superabundant sup
ply, the prices tend steadily upward.
Unless there is a break in the plans some-
where, the monthly advance in the prices
Of coal at wholesale will continue at the
rate Of from ten to twenty-five cents a
ton until November. This gives an ad.
vance at retail Of from thirty to sixty
cents ton. Concerning the advance IN
coal, and its causes, the Commercial Ad-
rertiser says:
THE attempts to produce strike
among the miners of which the whispers
come to us daily from the Schuylkill and
Lackawanna regions is the old story Of
the monopoists to effect their object in
making and maintaining an advance, and
to'.shiit the responsibility for the increased
price upon the working men Of the re.
gions from which the coal is produced.
The combination by which, at the
opening of the shipping season, the large
companies put their heads together and
agreed to crush out the middlemen in the
trade and put up the prices to suit them
selves, and make the coal consumers pay
for it, was bold movement, but one
which was upheld by the millions of CAPT.
tai and the thousands of acres of coal
land which the companies possess"

At the time Of our Credit Alobilier
scandal the Canadian papers cobgratula.
ted themselves that nothing Of the kiud
ever happened in the Dominion. They
could not all have been ignorant Of what
was going on, for many Of the papers
were subsidized by Sir Hugh Allan. who
it appears was the grand discussing agent
of the parties who proposed to take con-
troll Of the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
10 order to secure the charter most every
body who was worth buying appears to
have been tu,uprrod with, and several
Government officials, advanced in years,
blandly suggested that they preferred the
solid cash now to a prospective interest
10 the future Whether it will be shown
in the end that Sir Hugh Allan of Ra-
venscrag is as black as they paint him,
remains to be seen, but that he broke
faith with mis- American friends cannot
be doubted. 1t is only two years since
our Canadian contemporaries were filled
with laudations of Sir Hugh Allan, who
was created baronet on account Of his
commercial enterprise ID establishing the
Allan line Of steamships. He was born
in Scotland in 1910, and in 1896 went to
Montreal, and subsequently identified
himself with the interests Of the Canadas,
and the irm of Edmonstone q Allan be.
came well known as shipbuilders, and
subsequently as managers Of their own
line. He has been for many years pro-
moter Of telegraphs, navigation compa-
MES, and the enterprise in speculation,

Hugh Allan was not stakeholder, scarce.
ly commended itself to public attention,
His elcgan. summer estate on the shores
of Lake Memphremagog has been admired
by thousands of Bostonians, and his port
ly presence aboard his steam yacht on the
lake has been one Of the events of that
locality since the Queen made him Sir
Hugh Allan of Ravenscrag. There are
many Americans who believe that Sir
Hugh Allan will show that he has done
nothing to dim his heretofore honorable
claim to consideration, and that it is a
political job after all.

A JUST TRIBUTE.-No two men had
so much influence at the breaking out
of the rebellion in bringing almost the
entire Democracy of Vermont to the
support of the war for the Union, as
Judge Smalley and the late Henry +.
Stoughton. At the Democratic State
Convention held at Bellows Falls in
1862, Mr.. StoUghton took bold and
strong ground against the course ofthe
Democratic party of the State, and in
favor of the prosecution of the war for
the Union, declaring in his speech, that
'if to sustain the policy of the govern
ment in relation to the war is to cease
to be Democrat, then | subject myself
to the criticism" In the same speech
he offered as an amendment to the
resolution reported 10y the committee,
an endorsement of the polity of the adj
ministration in prosecuting the war,
that "we will lend our utmost aid in
the attainment of that objecs," and de-
claring further at the same time that
$50 long as under that policy, my sons
with my appreciation, stand in the face
of the enemy offering themselves rs a
