tanned a high reputation both in
Europe and America. His con-
clusion We may thus state in our
own words: The distinction is only con-
ventional, for the so called natural is but q
minor system Of the great supernatural
from which it springs. A miracle, for in

In 1851 he was appointed professor Of
logic and metaphysics in Queens college,
Belfast, and there wrote Intentions Of
the Mind Inductively Investigated"-in
the same line as his former works. In
1865 he made tour Of the United States,
and his reputation, already great, was so
much increased that he was urged to &C
cept the presidency Of Princeton college,
which he did, and in 1868 removed to that
city. Subsequent events, especially his
amusing little episode with DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, cannot be understood
without noting few facts in the previous
history of Princeton.
The college of New Jersey was founded
in 1748, opened in 1747 at Elizabeth and
removed in 1857 to Princeton, the first
structure being called Nassau hall, in
honor of William of Orange. One presi-
dent of this college, DR.. Witherspoon, and
two graduates, Richard Stockton and
Benjamin Rush, were signers Of the
Declaration Of Independence; nine gradu-
ates were in the convention that framed
the constitution Of the United States, and
its record for patriotism and ability has
never been furnished. Rev. Aaron Burr
was its second president, and the illus
trious Jonathan Edwards its third. This
gives point to the humorous lines OF DR..
Holmes so widely quoted last year. Rev.
DR.. John Mclean was president from 1854
to 1858, when Rev. DIR. James McCosh
succeeded him. Harvard college con-
ferred the degree Of LII. ID. upon the new
president and his accession was hailed at
Princeton as joyful event. 1t awakened
more interest than any previous event Of
that nature in America, and his inaugura-

BRITAIN'S' TROUBLES.
THE IRISH QUESTION AND THE
HOMELESS POOR OF LONDON.

Lowering the Red Flag in Hyde Park.
Meetings of the Unemployed In Trafal-
gar squsre-No More Meetings to BE
Held in Trafalgar Square.
The British government just now has
two serious troubles on hand-the Irish
are resisting the coercion laws in all ways
short of open rebellion, and the unem-
ployed by hundreds of thousands are
crowding the large cities, especially Lon
don. The poor they have always with
them, and If the Irish question: is not
E perennial, there have certainly been but
short intervals in the last twenty-five
years in which no mischief was afoot
there. 1t is a fact worth studying that
forms of government and society make no
difference in the present aggregate of
misery, though they make much in the
mode Of its expression and treatment.
In Germany the unemployed poor suffer
in patient silence; in Ireland they fight
the police and organize monster
mass meetings. in London they mass in
the parks, but content themselves with
hooting and breaking fences and shade
trees, while in the United States some
organize strikes and riots and others "go
in for anarchy" 1t is safe statement
that an American mob as big as that
lately assembled in London would never
have been dispersed with 'only few
heads broken by the police;" there would
have been some heads broken on both
sides and almost certainly few persons
killed. Since midsummer the number Of
unemployed and desperately poor spend
ing their nights in the parks has been
greatly increasing, and the organized
charity feeding them there only drew
larger crowds; so the authorities checked
it. After minor demonstrations of vari.
Gus kinds the leaders Of the unemployed
called meeting in Trafalgar square,
about as bad a place for public meeting
as could be found in | 2ndon, as all the
vicinity is occupied by hotels and stores
Of the better class, and enc days Interrupt
ton of trade there would entail immense
losses. So the week day meetings there
were peremptorily forbidden, but on pcxt
to the last Sunday in October formidable
mob organized there, the police standing
in readiness, but not interfering A red
flag was exhibited, and after few in
fiammatory speeches the crowd invaded
Westminster Abbey during the afternoon
service. The police closed the doors when
few hundreds had entered; the outside
crowd then conducted a riotous meeting
one queer feature being an address from
the Rev. Stewart Headlam justifying the
mob and another by Canon Roswell, OF
the Abbey, dissuading them from such
actions.

DIR. JAMES M'COSH.
SKETCH OF THE RETIRING PRES
IDENT OF PRINCETON

A Scotchman Who Has Been at the Head
OF an American Institution of Learning
for Nineteen Years - What He Has
Done-The Future of the School.
When DR.. James McCosh took the pres
idency of Princeton college in 1868 and an
nounced his ambition to make it a univer-
sity, the event was considered one of ma
tional Importance. Now that he has
handed in his resignation-to take effect
next February-there is general regret
among American educators. Although
the venerable philosopher has passed his
three score and ten, his intellect is as Wig
orous as ever; and the very letter in which
he declares that he will quit before weak
ness compels him to, is pleasing proof
that there is as yet no weakness apparent.
He retains his place as teacher of the
higher philosophy, and his profound works
on philosophical subjects grow in interest
with time. The succession of his works
illustrates his mental development, and
both will be better understood by consid-
ering his life record.
James McCosh was born April 1, 1911,
in Ayrshire, Scotland, and, as his name
indicates, there is in him considerable
strain of the old Gaelic blood. He was

ROUTE OF PROCESSION NOV. 10.
On three successive days there were
riots in Hyde Park, but very little damage
done. On the last day the separate de-
tachments of the crowd were followed by
the police, ridden down by the mounted
patrols and dubbed by the constables
yet, strange to say, no one was killed out
right. Thereafter the meetings declined
rapidly in numbers, but the laborers
proper held assemblies in other places,
and delegations sent by them were court
eously received by the government. Mean
while, despite the increasing cold and rain
incident to the season, the unemployed
have continued to crowd Trafalgar square
at night, sleeping in reckless disorder, and
in Covent Garden, under the arches Of
London bridge and on the Thames EN-.
bankment the nightly loiterers are greatly
in excess Of the usual number at this
season. The authorities continued to
assert that there is shelter enough pro-
vided for "casuals' in the proper places,
and that this thrOnging the squares is
either matter of foolish pride or a pre-
tense to exasperate the mob.
Scarcely, however. had the authorities
decided that the trouble in London was
over when the Radical clubs united In a
call for monster mass meeting on Sun
day, Nov. 10, in Trafalgar square. Sir
Charles Warren, police director, issued
PROCLAMATION forbidding the meeting but
it was not posted till Saturday night. The
result was, the people assembled, the po-
lice interfered and the most serious riot
Of the season occurred. -Four thousand
policemen were posted in squads at the
entrances to the square and around the

blage of learned and prominent men. He
was in the zenith of his fame, but continued
to labor indefatigably in the same line
Of theology and philosophy, publishing
and lecturing, and was looked upon as
the David of modern orthodoxy against
the Goliath of scientific skepticism. AL
though Harvard had conferred an honor
airy degree upon him, his relations with
that university soon became STRAINED. {"
In 1886 Harvard celebrated her fiftieth
anniversary and conferred many honorary
degrees, but none to any of Princeton's
professors. DR.. Holmes read poem in
which he humorously referred to the fact
that Harvard liberalism in religious mat
tiers had affected the other colleges, these
lines being included:
Ger Prnceton's sands the far reflections steal
Where mighty Edwards stamped his iron heel;
Nay on the hill where old beliefs were bound
Fast as If Styx had girthen nine times round,
Bursts such light that trembling souls inquire
II the whole church of Calvin is on fire.
DIR. Holmes afterward explained that
the last four lines referred to Andover
(which does not help the matter much,
but the punctuation was not clear to DR.
McCosh, who was among the invited
guests, and the assumption that Harvard
was a teacher Of old Princeton certainly
was offensive; so Princeton's president
left for home at once, making no secret Of
his resentment, nor has he yet accorded
complete forgiveness.
DIR. McCosh's administration has been
remarkably successful. From 2G4 in 1868
the total of students has risen to 603; and
the last years entries were 179. The
standard of scholarship has been raised,
and the appreciation of old graduates has
been shown in many liberal contributions,
which have more than doubled the col.
lege's conveniences.
