MEN MAKE THE OPPORTUNITIES.
WILLIAM A. SHAFER.

WILLIAM A. SHAFER.
Mr.. William Shafer of Mountain
Home, Monroe, Co. Pa, followed in a
most interesting and practical dis
cussion Of Men make the opportuni-
ties"
The veracity of the old saying that
"Some men are born great" &c. was
denied by the speaker. He claimed
that no man is ever born great.
To prove his ground, he said,
among other things, All true great
ness is but the consummation to the
fullest issue OF mans capabilities.
People are too willing to think when
man is great, he must be popular,
and if popular, great. This is not
true, there are millions of great men
in the world, OF whom practically moth
ing is known, and there are thousands
of popular men who have not yet
climbed the first round Of the ladder
of true greatness.

eret,' by a chorus of mixed voices.
THE TYRANNY OF FASHION.
FRANCIS SHARPE CONNER.
Following next came Miss Francis
Sharpe Conner, OF Scranton, Pa.
"The Tyranny of Fashion," was
the theme she chose for the subject of
a most practical essay.
After introducing her essay most
happily by showing the tyrannlcal
hand of certain ancient and modern
kings and Queens, she then applied
the facts of history to the oppressive
Goddess of Fashion, as exhibited to-
day over the entire world.

After all the prog. am had been
successfully rendered, there yet
renamed the crowning act Of the
Commencement Day, viz, that of
publicly presenting the graduates OF
1892 with their Diplomas. This was
done by Prin. J. p. Welsh in most
thoughtful and timely address. As a
basis for his remarks he chose at
thought from Bacon THE debt aoe
o,oe to our procession, and spoke in
a very practical manner.
Here followed the benediction and
the Commencement of '92 was ended.
ALUMNI MEETING AND BANQU
Immediately after the closing of the
Commencement exercises proper the
meeting Of the Alumni was held, and
following this came most delightful
banquet, Geo. E. Elwell Esq. presid-

WEALTH TN WHISKY.

Enormous Profits of the Trust tho
Years Business.
PEORIA, ILL.,. April ia largely attended
annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Distillers and Cattle Feeders company WAS
held ut trust headquarters here this after
noon. Everything passed off harmonious
ly. T. j. Hennessy, Nelson Morris, and
Julius Il. French were elected directors to
succeed themselves. and Frank Curtis to fill
vacancy caused by the death of Adolph
Woolner. The present officers will prob
ably be reelected at the drectors' meeting
tomorrow. The stockholders favored the
policy Of President Greenhnt. to cat prices
to wipe out opposition. In his annual
address President Greenhut dwelt upon
the benefits accruinR from the purchase of
the Shufeldt and Calumet distiileries. He
regretted that some stockholders, believing
the purchase made the trust invincible, had
considerably injured the business of the
company by insisting ON the higher rates
and by circulating exaggerated reports OF
the company's earnings. III order to affect
the values of stock. He then related the
incident Of the resignation of himself and
Director Morris, and stated that perfect
harmony had since prevailed among the
directors. He said the company, pursuing
the policy Of protecting its trade, would, if
necessary, put the price OF its product on
such low basis as to earn little or no
profit.
Greenhut stated that the best legal
talent the company could employ had
been engaged to defend the officers recently
indicted at Boston. He was of opinion
that the government would not maintain
these suits. The company's sales for the
year ending March 81, 1892, show an in
crease of nearly 10,0O00O0 gallons in the
last four years and 923,54G gallons increase
over the previous year, the total sales for
the year being 45,66l,7l7 gallons. The
earnings were $4,72S,S27, expenditures
$442,9O6, and $1,S00,698 we're paid out in
dividends, leaving on hand April l, 1892
$685. 922. The surplus earnings for the
year were $32G, 743. Rebates are kept in a

DETROIT April 13.-Friends of Gen Al
ger arc making strenuous efforts to have
the delegates selected at the republican
state convention in this city tomorrow in
structed to support Alger for president.
The only serious opposition they are en-
countering appears to be from politicians
who regard Harrison's denomination at
Minneapolis as assured. 1t Is understood
the democratic gerrymander law of the last
legislature will be ignored and delegates
and electors selected on the bnsis
of the former apportionment. as
it has been decided to test tho con-
the remaining local conventions throughout
the state to-day shows that there is no
doubt that Alger will largely dominate the
convention tomorrow. The Harrison fac
ton is in such hopeless minority that to-
night all that they nsl1 is that the custom
ary resolution approving the past republi-
can administration DO adopted. This
proposition finds no opposition. ns Alger
| endorses it, In an interview tonight Aluer
said he did not expect the delegates to the
national convention to be instructed for
him, neither did he desire it. If the CON
