peror's speech.
BERLIN, June 9.--Ths found alton Of the

by Emperor William. A brilliant assem-.
blage OF notsblss WAS present, among
whom were the whole royal family, the
imperial cabinet officers, many members
OF the reichstag and large numbers of
military officers OF high rank. Prince
Bismarck read the Emperor's speech. An
epitome Of the speech Is As follows +:
Through the successes Of the united
arms the empire has attained q greatness
before undreamed of. The confidence
existing between the Federal government
gave the strength to protect the constitu-
tion and ensure the national develop
ment aud prosperity. May the
work which will in future be
done in this building bedevotsd to order,
liberty, Justice, and equal love for sll
classes OF the people; may peace abroad
aud ut home attend the erection of this
ediios, and may it be forever q visible
sign Of the indissoluble bonds which
have united the German states and
peoples in great and glorious days"
At the conclusion of the speech, the
Bavarian minister handed the trowel to
to the Emperor. As he did so he ex-
pressed the gratitude OF the bundssrath
al this auspicious ev, Mt. He hoped the
Emperor would live to see the completion
Of the building, and said that the har-
monious working of the various elements
OF the government would render the
safety Of the fatherlsnd certain.
The president Of the reiohestsg ex-
pressed the hope that the blessing Of God,
which had visibly accompanied Emperor
William al all times, would rest upon the
building and would prosper the labors OF
which It shall be the scene.

AT times, this seems only to reveal
poverty OF language and the impossi

has done well At first sight, indeed, she
seems to write GRIZZLY for the excessively rich
or those forced to a quite narrowing economy.
Even upon more careful examination,
there is not enough provision for
that class OF medium means and

The book, indeed, reveals luxury and OK
trayagance absolutely disheartening. They
must draw social lines unprofitably. 0nll
the rarely gifted few can rise untainted b.
such influence, and they will form cliqui
absolutely exclusive.
Yet on the whole Mrs. Sherwood cover
broad ground. She is particularly suggestiv

Canadian weather Prophet.
Henry g. vsnnor, the weather prophst,
died in Montreal Sunday msrnips. Mr..
vennor was AZ years old. He WAS born
in Montreal, where his father was =
wealthy hardware merchant. His mother
wss Patterson, and was Of 5uotch de-
scent. Young Vsnnor was educated with
his brothers A. the leading schools Of
Montreal, aud subsequently, was gradu-
ssed from Modill University. At the
university he was directly under the tut
tion Of Principal Dawson and DR.. t.
Sterry Hunt. Before leaving he took a
two years course in civil engineering and
two courses In science. He also attended
the chemistry classes OF the Montreal
medical college, For five years after
leaving the university he WAS In the en-
ploy of q hardware firm IN Moutresl, but
found time to make valuable collection
and to study the hsbita OF bitde aud
animals,
He left the hardware business to take a
position on the geological survey OF
Canada, an appointment which was given
him through the influence Of the late Sir
Willism Il. Logan, government geologist.
The first season after receiving this sp-
dointment Vennor, then a young man Of
"a, spent in survey OF the Grand Mani.
toulin Island, which stretches for so miles
along the northern shore of Lake Huron.

HOnOred of All Men.

N New YORK Sun OF Monday.
We have reserved to the last that
veteran Democrat, the accomplished and
spotless gentleman, Thomas f. Bsyard of
Delaware. There would be among
Democrats Of the old school widespread
satisfaction il the convention ehould
desermine to nominate Mr.. Baynrd. A
lew years ago, the fact that in the conflict
Of the civil war, his sympsthies, like
those of Senator Logan OF lllinois. are
believed to have at first inclined
toward the eide of the Confederate
States, was justly regarded as interposing
some obstacle in the way OF his nomi-
nation but that feeling, We believe, has
been almost oblitera.ed by the hand Of
time. Mr.. Bsysrd stands honored Of all
men and Of &li parties ;snd, II he should
be chosen by the Democracy as their
leader in the impending struggle, the
fact would be welcomed by thousands
with joy that would not be felt at the
success of any one of the other gentlemen
whose status and prospects we have now

Tho Advice OF IA Now York Paper to
Those FinIshIng school


In under the title "Wbat shall he
dor" the N. Y. Mait and E1press says
editorially Within few weeks several
thousand boys in this state will have
anished their schooling. Some of them
have been working with definite aims in
view. This one has prepared himself to
enter college, and has already selected
the institution where he proposes to
spend four years more in study. That
one intends to go into business, and has
made speciality Of arithmetic, psnman
ship and bookkeeping. But bssides these
who have already made up their minds
what they will do, there ia a multitude OF
undecided oraa Here Is one ready for
college, but Anxi0nl to beRi what he has
been taus to consider the serluus busi
ness OF making money. Here il
another that needs little further pre-
paration, and is 10 doubt whether 10 max Q
special effort at his Latiu and Greek, or
- begin at onoe to work for his living.
These are serious questions. Upon the
decision OF them hangs the boys future.
II the parent Ia in comfortable peouniary
circumstances, the answer must depend
largely upon the boys own tastes ard
aptitudes. Would he, II sent to college.
make any good use of the opportunities
presented To him2 Unless he Ia hopa-
lssBly lazy or inclined to vioousness, il
will be scarcely possible for him 10 live
for four years in the atmosphere OF a good
college without having hia mental horizon
enlarged aud Learning that there are
some things Ia the world besides money
thst are worth arriving for.
Much will depend upon the college
that Ia selected. II one be chosen where
the general tone is high, where devotion
to athletics has not entirely taken the
place Of devotion to intellectual and
moral culture; where the I" fast set " Is
not socially predominant, the influence
upon any boy who does enough In his
studies 10 stay in college at all can
scarcely fail to be good.
But there remains the question for the
young man whose peouniary means are
limited. To him we would say II you
have the purpose and ability to make
good use Of the opportunities presented,
go-even II you have to pinch and save
and perhaps borrow the money to do it.
1t is Just such young M n as this-men
whose college life means work and sacri.
tice-thst constitute the strength and
the glory of our colleges.
One more point to young men. Do not
believe that college training will not be
Of practical use in after life. The best
use Of ito broaden, strengthen and
deepen the mind, to show that there are
aims that are infinitely higher and
worthier than money msking--msy not
be appreciated by young man that has
his own way to make in the world. But
1t is fact that aside from this higher
use, or flowing out OF II, there is q prac-
ticsl, pecuniary value In college training
TO every young man who does his college
work well.
