THE RULING PASSION.

Speed tho Magic Word on tho Road Of
Life and Success.
Speed is the ruling idea of the age.
Even the traveller in search of health
is in hurry. and insists on combining
the excitement of match against
Time with the pursuit of Hygeia- FIJI
teen miles an hour over the surface OF
q glorious river, winding through tho
finest scenery in the world. does not
satisfy the man of leisure on a sum-
mer excursion. He prefers straight
rush through seas of dust and storm
of cinders at thrice the pace. He
votes the steamboat a ''slow coach, y
and takes the express train, from
which he can distinguish no feature Of
the vanishing landscape as it streams
to the rear, and thanks his stars that
he is darling over the earth's surface
at a rate which renders its beauties
undistinguishable.
But perhaps, after all, the passion
for rapid motion is no stronger now
than before steam was put in harness.
The human race is naturally prone to
velocity. Nothing in the story of Jack
the Giant-killer delights children so
much as the episode of the seven
leagued boots, and we remember the
flying carpet and aerial steed OF the
Arabian Nights Entertainments, when
all the ..slOwer" results of enchantment
are forgotten. Sixty years ago car
riage and four was considered a spirit
stirring arrangement, and pOst-boys
were feed munificently to keep their
cattle on the gallop. The liberality OF
the old woman who offered her bacon
to feed the furnace of Mississippi
steamboat when its rival was getting
ahead was prompted by the same in
stinct which moved our ancestors to
bribe the postillions of their day to
ply the whip and spur.
1t is useless to reason against the
general desire to push ahead. 1t is
human nature. All the resources of
art and science are laid under contri-
button to accomplish this grand OBJ
iect, and the most wonderful OF all
modern wonders is the progress of pro-
erosion. A voyage &C oss the Allan
tic was six or eight weeks affair
within the recollection of some of US;
but now, steamers occasionally slip
over in from six to eight days!
And speed is the word on the Road
of Life as on the public highways.
From the universal anxiety Of the &C
tive classes to make the most of every
moment, one might suppose that the
clock of Time was pretty near its final
tick. and that mankind. aware OF the
fact, were afraid of being caught at the
great sine die adjournment OF human
affairs with some unfinished bust
ness ON their hands.-N T. Ledger.

Yale Notes


 It is stated by members of the Yale faculty that the Sheffield homestead on Hillhouse avenue will not go directly to the Scientific school, but that life interest will be held by the oldest son, George St. John Sheffield, the property going to the school after his death.
 The classmates sf Yew Fun Yan, Yale 'S3, who died in Norwich two years after gradua- tion, are about to raise fund for memorial scholarship in his name at the Christian col lege in Canton, China. The first to receive the income is to be Tan's younger brother, Yew Kong Tan.
 The regular lecture in the course for Thurs day of this week by James M. Townsend, jr., to the Yale Law school seniors will be omitted, as Mr. Townsend is engaged before the Court of Appeals at Albany. DULUTH, Minn., April 24.-It is custom at Yale university to present the class cup at the triennial reunion to the first son or the class. Charles Way ot Hartford, Oonn., be- came the father of what was supposed to be the son of the class of 1885. To day word was received in Duluth from New Zealand to the effect that Robert B. Williams was mar ried in Melbourne some two years ago, and IS of young Way. What makes the case more | interesting is the fact that Williams is col- | ored man and the only one of his class, and ! married charming young English lady with ! whom he fell in love while on the steamer | enroute from London to Australia. Williams has just entered the New Zealand university \ for the study of law.

Enauired of From ToledOs Ohio - A
 Former Member Killed in Toledo.
 A telegram was received ia this city yes terday afternoon by the secretary of the Ger mania lodge, I. O. O. F., making inquiries of him as to what disposition to make of the re. mains of one Jacob Kreiger, who had been killed in Toledo, O., Tuesday, but how the despatch did not state. Mir. Kreiger was for merly resident hers and was at one time d member of Germania lodge, but had been dropped from the roll over a year ago for non-payment of dues. It is not known whether he has any relatives here abouts. The lodge can do nothing in regard to the case as he was not @ member at the time of his death. The telegram was turned over to Chief Bollmsn to investigate fur ther. Inquiries among number of promi- nent German citizens in this city did not re- veal anything concerning him and neither did any of them recall any such person. h the directory eff 1882 is found the name of Jacob Kreiger, 10 Union street, but that is all that is known concerning him.

Easter Rainbow Festival At she
 Church of she Messiah.
 The announcement that the Ladies' Aid society of the Church of the Messiah would give an Easter Rainbow festival to be fol- lowed with dramatic entertainment drew 8 large audience to the church lecture room last Tuesday evening. The large and pleas ant room was tastefully decorated, and the tables, resplendent with varigated colors and laden with choice edibles, presented most attractive appearance, which was greatly enhanced by the ladies who were on the alert to cater to the wants of their guests who de- sired ''something good to eat" After the supper, which was pronounced 'just per- feet" drama entitled, Champion of Her Sex," was presented by members of the church and society. Those who participated in the piece were: Mrs. G. W. Babb, Mrs. Daman, Miss Edith Peckham, Miss Matte Ives and Miss Bartlett. All who personated the characters in the drama did remarkably well, and the large audience present mani- Tested their pleasure by frequent and vigor- ous applause.
 instrumental music was furnished by Miss Sanford, followed with poem by Mrs. Dr.. Creemer entitled "The Rainbow" During the evening Miss Mamie Dion gave a vocal selection which was charmingly rendered.
 The whole affair was 8 decided success and all present were unanimous in their expres. sions of the pleasure which the occasion af- forded them. It is hoped that similar enter tainments will be occasionally given, as they promote sociability and increase the friendly feeling which evidently exists among the members and friends of the Church of the Messiah. Special mention should be made in connection with the success of the festival of the energetic work of the committee, which consisted of Mrs. Gilbert, Mrs. Converse, Mrs. Allen and Mira Bartlatt
