BURLINGTON VT. THURSDAY JUNE 1893

presence has been with you during these
four years past that presence must have
come to you in part, at least, through your
college life, through its instruction, its dis
cipline, its as,ociations its friendship. In
so far as you each carry with you into your
lives the spirit and influence of your college,
we hope you will be able to say of this and
that instructor, of this and that study, Of
this and that friendship, they we're to me
channels through which something Of God
reached me.
Cheered by these thoughts, and others
which cone to us at such time, pleasant
rs 1t would DO to continue for more years
the old relations, as instructors and pupils
we part to-day. Go, and God be with you |!
And now it 10 our great Joy that we send
you forth into such time, auch world,
such life, as are before you. We send you
not into a world without God, into a tme
OF in Intellectual apathy, into social corrup-
ton and moral debasement, but into condi-
tions which to brave young hearts are full
of promise and cheer Tho universal mind
is alert, the church is active, the forces
which make for Righteousness are better un
derstood, better organized, and better gen-
eralled than ever before in human history.
You are not called to do "A valiant work
amid exile, poverty, and straitness, but to
make the most of future all glowing with
splendid possibilities. Therein will lie your
danger, as l have tried to show you, in the
seduction and entans slemonts OF u redund-
ant prosperity; therein also will lie
your opportunities, to muster and
utilize for highest ends the boundless re-
sourcos OF the coming time. When we
think what may bo between this day and
the time when some Of you may observs the
Doth anniversary Of your graduation, what
part of some of you may have i'll the
achievements and triumphs of that good
time coming, we can look into your young
faces today and believe and hope all things
Of you. May Gods presence go with you
and carry you up hence into all the goodly
land which lies before you!
Tho exercises closad with the singing OF
hymn 613 and the benedlction, pronounced
by President Buckham.

HARVARD BLANkED.
Highlands Loses His Head In the Eighth,
Three Runs Rssultiug.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 21.-Yalo and
Harvard fought the second base ball game
OF tho series out at the Yale field this after
noon and Yale won not, however, till the
f1ercest fight had been made by Harvard
which has been recorded in college sport
ing annals here for long time. 1t was afue
fielding contest and won by Yale who out
feded and ou.betted the victors completely.
The scoring was, ho wever all punched.
For seven innings q frutless battle ragged.
Not a Harvard man, and but two Yale men
reached third base till the eighth inning,
when Pitcher Carter came up for Yale. He
has made one safe hit this year, but made
another in the eighth inning to-day. The
enthusiasm was almost unboundsd as the
crowd OF 1900 spectators realized that now
IL at all Halo must score.
A passed ball placed Carter on second,
Murphy knocked out his second single aud
Carter trotted on third AS Murphy stole
second the applause became terrific. Beall
looked dangerous but an cnsy grounder to
Sullivan was his best effort toward safe
hit. IL was however, as effective as a
home run. Sullivan fielded it accurately to
Mason, who dropped the ball and Carter
slid under with the first run of the game.
Highlands lost his bead and seizing the
ball threw it to centerfeld, far from any
| ones reach. All the base runners crossed
the plate and the scene which
| followed was far beyond ordi
nary descriptive power When
quiet was restored the remaining Yale bats
men went out In order. Harvard failed tc
get a man across the plate. Yale scored
three runs. As the series is now a tie the
decisive game will be played in Now York
| city on Saturday next.

RHODE ISLAND POLITICS.


plications That Have Arisen.
PROvIDENCE. June 27.-Leadiug Demo
Gratis here are greatly disturbed over the
report that, when the supreme court de-
cides the legislative controversy in favor
of the Democrats, as it is expected to do,
two Democratic members will cast their
votes for the Republican state ticket.
When the assembly met at Newport
there were 81 Democrats and "a Republi-
cans, and the Democrats unseated enough
members to make a majority of Que.
Since that time complications have
arisen in the federal nominations here.
Senator Champin of Block Island was a
candidate for the United States district
attorneyship, but he was not in favor
with the ex Mayor Honey faction, and
Ilonev's candidate was appointed by
Attorney General Olney.
Before the office was filed the two
Block Island members waited upon the
Honey faction, and notified the leaders OF
what the consequences would be. The
Block Island members confirm the story
THAI they VIII vote for the Republican
ticket.
To offset this loss of Democratic mem
bers, who are required to make majority,
the Democrats have called meeting OF
the election committee of the house &c
consider further contested cases. Chair
man Robinson OF Pawtucket says the com
mittee will have four or five more seats tC
declare vacant He also says that it make,
no difference whether there is a special
session or not-Republican members from
East Greenwich East Providence and
Pawtucket will have TO 60
This move il for the purpose OF putting
the Democratic majority on a joint ballot
beyond doubt, even without the Blocl
Island members.

People Who Live Long,

Sir George Humphrey has investigated
the life histories of centenarians in Eng
land with the view of ascertaining the
causes and circumstances of longevity.
AS one reads the habits and life of these
men and ONE who attained to the age
of 100 years and more, one is struck by
the fact that they were almost invaria-
bly, lean people of spare habits and of
great moderation in eating and drink
ing. OF 81, 8 took no animal food,
4 took very little, 20 a little, 10 a
moderate amount and only one acknowl-
edged taking much meat. With regard
to alcohol the returns are much the
same, and abstemiousness is found to be
the rule of life of these centenarians.-
