THE sermons by the Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage, entitled "The mar
riage Ring" published in the Phila-
delphia "Daily News" are filled
with sound logic, and many of the
passages wildly portray the great
evil produced by persons aping after
the fashions of the world in the way
of dress. Salaries are over-reached,
and men sacrifice honor and good
name that their family might out
shine their neighbors across the
way. You may say that Talmage is
sensational, but he is uttering wise
things in many of the sermons he is
delivering. Wedonot so much suffer

of thelarge cities, yet no town is

The high license men came off
with flying colors at Elkton (Md.)
last week, at a meeting held for the
purpose of discussing the question
of local option, its advantages and
disadvantages. John S. Writ, ESQ.,,
made a forcible and most logical
argument in favor OF high license,
stating that Cecil county would be
much better off with high license
law than she ever would be under
local option law.

CONSIDERABLE dissatisfaction is
yet expressed by railroad employees,
over the recent beneficial association
framed by the Pennsylvania Rail
road. The engineers threaten to
apply the air-brake and shut off the
trottle before they run too far into
the thing. They know the differ
ence between a COW on the track
than an ohstacle that they believe
threatens more risk. Still the latter
may prove the better for them.

President Dwight speaks.

President Dwight addressed the Western
Massachusetts, Alumni association at Spring
field Monday evening. In the course of his
remarks he said:
In introducing myself to you, to some for
the first time, to all for the first time in my
Office, will say word relative to myself.
I have to express my thanks to the graduates
of Yale, one and ALL for the kindly way
they have received the announcement of my
election to this Office. 1t was said by some
doubling western editor that while the new
president of Yale had the reputation for
some learning he was unknown in athletic
circles. Feeling this my especial weakness
turned my attention to it at once. The result
was apparent the day after my inauguration,
and the day after that, and there has been no
change since.
In the minds of some there are other mat
ters. I believe that we are passing from the
old college idea to the university idea at
and harmony of action, with all the parts
working together with common impulse,
pushing forward to the future before us. I
believe the future of Yale college is
destined to surpass even the brightest
part of the past. To the future I
give myself. I rejoice to see SO much
unanimity among those about me in
New Haven and elsewhere. I believe Yale
has an ideal of an education that is sound
and true education, of life that is noble,
manly Christian life. In SO far as in me
lies hope to push forward to that education
that prepares men best for the work and sue
cess of the life they are to live in this world
and the future. believe that sound educa-
ton and Christian faith are TO abide in Yale
college. I should not wish to be there with
out such confidence for the future.

Davenporr Councils Entertainment
Last Night.
A very interesting and pleasing entertain
ment of musical and literary character was
given last evening at the Atheneum under
Royal Arcanum. A large audience gathered
to witness it. Frank D. Grinnell conducted
the exercises. Miss Williams presided at the
piano. Rev. Selden Gilbert made brief ad-
dress, in the course of which he spoke of the
council and its fraternal and beneficial quail
ties and it's well earned success as first class
society. Following is the programmes:
Piano solo, Miss Williams.
Song, Miss Alice Fechter.
Song. Miss Lottie Reynolds
Gornet solo Master Wi, Willie Reynolds.
Piano solo, MISS Angus.
Song, Miss Alice Fechter.
Stump speech, Mr. G. A. Larum.
A scene in ventriloqusm, Professor Frand, Mr..
Willie and Lottie Reynolds.
Musical sketch, Mr.. and Willie Reynolds.
All who participated in the exercises did
well, and vigorous applause by the audience
indicated that all present enjoyed the enter
tainment thoroughly. The recitation of Miss
Angus was admirably rendered, and Miss
Lottie REYNOLDS won the hearty appreciation
of the audience by her remarkable talent as a
declamationist and also sweet singer and
perfect little mimic. Miss Alice Fechter,
whose vocal abilities are of the highest order,
charmed everyone by her singing and re-
ceived well-merited and long continued ap-
plause. The entertainment a whole was
all that could be desired and reflected credit
upon all who contributed to it's success. The
following gentlemen comprised the enter
tainment committee: Frank D. Grinnell,
Frank S. Hamilton, John B. Judson, Henry
S. Nichols, Robert E. Manross. The recep-
ton committee were: I. H. Stoddard, ]. A.

The prayer rooms last evening in Dwight
hall were filed to their utmost, and a feeling
of union and common interest marked the
gathering together of the academic classes
with those of Shelf.
G. F. Adams 's6 is teaching school in
Portland, Oregon, and studying medicine in
connection.
The Shelf faculty have finally become SO
indulgent as to grant eight "cuts" term,
as in the academic department., to the SEN
iors.
Although the faculty of the sophomore and
freshman classes have changed their hours
of recitation in the afternoon to allow the
football players suitable hours for practice,
yet, on account of the inability of the faculty
of Shelf. to conform with these hours, the
same hours of practice are observed as in the
mast
