IN HONOR OF PROFESSOR WHITNEY

Memorial Meeting of the Yale Classical 1 Ciub-Interesting Paper by Professor l Thomas D. Seymnur,
 | A memorial meeting of the Yale Cas-
 sical club in honor of the late Professor William Dwight Whitney, Ph. D., IL.
 D., was held in room Al Osborn hall
 last evening. There was a large audi ence present, representing all depart
 ments of the university, nearly all the Heading professors being present. Pres ident Dwight presided. He opened the
 meeting with few introductory re- marks in which he said that they were met together to pay honor to one of the most illustrious men that was ever connected with the university. Con- l tinuing he said:
 "When & graduate of several years standing of Williams college he came | here to study Sanscrit. He also studied Greek with President Woolsey.' He made a very favorable impression here. Afterward he went to Germany for a time for further study. He had made such a favorable impression on the off, cers of the university that he was led to return here and in 1854 he was made professor in the department in which
 he so long continued.
 "Mr. Whitney was honored, admired and appreciated by us all who were closely connected with him and re- ioiced in his great fame as a scholar and in the renown he brought to the university. He lived heroic life, do- ing a noble work. I never knew of work so as admirable as his, working under the limitations of ill-health. He
 seemed to grow brighter as he grew older. We all were grieved to see his health give way in the later years of
 his life and to see him daily grow weak CT, and then the end"
 President Dwight then introduced Professor Thomas D. Seymour, Hill
 house professor of Greek in Yale col lege, whose paper was the most inter- esting feature of the meeting. He
 gave very entertaining biography of
 Professor Whitney, with an account of his different writings with extracts from
 several of his letters. Professor Sey-
 mour is to be highly commended for the
 excellence of his paper, which will be
 of the greatest value to all interested in the life and work of the great scholar
 who for so many years was an orna- ment to New Haven.
 After Professor Seymour had finished his reading Professor Luquiens of the French department at Yale, who was an old pupil of Professor Whitney's, made a brief but interesting address. He was followed by Professor Perrin of the Greek department, another for mer pupil of Professor Whitney.
 In closing, President Dwight said:
 My friends, in the passing away of Professor Whitney one more has gone beyond us to larger sphere and a brighter land. And we can only say in the words of the sacred book, We sorrow most of all that we shall see his face no moresih s-----

 WHEN H. U.fS COSVICTED.

stephen Giiiis Was Found Guilty of Perjury m the Superior Court Yesterday and tho Sentence Was Deferred Until Next Tues- day-Story of the Case.
 The superior court room criminal | side. was late yesterday afternoon ths
 scene of pathetic parting at the cons clusion of the trial of stephen GillIs of
 Derby, charged with perjury. Shorrly
 after o'clock the trial came to an end, | and the foreman of the jury pronounced the single word guilty" In reply to Clerk Anketell's query as to whether ou
 not they had agreed upon averdlct.
 As the foreman announced the vsr. dict the sister of the accused uttered a pathetic cry of agony and fell writhine to the floor. Deputy Sheriff Fredericks tenderly picked Miss Gllis from ths floor and carried her to the ante room. closely followed by Mrs. Allen Russell. carrying In her arms an infant, Mrs. Russelrs husband Is to be tried Tues.
 day next for the same offense, and she.
 too, was in tears In anticipation of ths
 fate which apparently hangs over her
 husband. After Miss Gillis had re.
 covered she left the court house crying
 bitterly. Judge Wheeler decided to post.
 pone sentence until next Tuesday.
 The crime of which both Gillls and
 Russell were accused and of which Gill;
 lis has been convicted was the giving
 or false testimony In the superior court, civil side. last April. when John Hur-
 ley's suit for $15,0O0 damages against
 the Derby selectmen was tried. Hurley's son. Michael, died from smallpox In the
 Derby pest house about two years ago.
 and the father claimed that death was caused by the uninhabitable condition
 of the pest house. and the careless
 treatment afforded to the patients. Iu
 consequence of this the suit for dam.
 ages was brought in the superior court. After lengthy trial the case was de. cided against Hurley.
 Gillis and Russell, who were patients
 at the pest house, testified against tha selectmen at that time, and In conse- quence of the outcome of that suit
 were arrested and charged with per-
 jury. After Gillis' conviction yester.
 day both he and Russell were handcuff-
 ed together and taken down stairs,
 where an affectionate parting took place between Gillis and his sister, and Russell and his wife and child, All were in tears, and the parting was most pathetic one. Russell and Gillis were taken to jail, and the women hast4 ened out of the court house for their respective homes.
 The penalty for the crime of perjury, as bid down b% :hr statutes, is nod less than six months in jail and not
 more than five years in state prison.

IMPORTANT CHANGE MADE.
Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn to Take
 Full Responsibility.

Chtef Naval COustrucUOr nicnDorA u Aaho
 Full Responsibility.
 Washington. Oct. R.-In general or ders amending the naval regulations issued to-day Secretary Herbert practi- cally reorganized the most important work of the navy department, and placed upon Chief Naval Constructor Hichborn the responsibility for the de- signs, structural strength and stabil- ity of all ships built for the navy.
 Heretofore considerable authority has been exercised by other bureau officers in modifying those portions of the ships effecting their special departments and relating particularly to their armor and armament, engines, stores and equip ment. To this practice is attributed the top-heaviness of several vessels which had heavy weights placed on them not provided for in their original designs.
 Under the new order all projected changes must be submitted in writing to the constructor.

eERMAN REPUBLIcAN RALLY
Eloquently Addressed by Hon. N. D. sperr
 and Others.


 Eloquently Addressed by Hon. N. D. sperry
 and Others.
 A rally of German republicans was held last evening in veru hall. A large representation of German citizens was present, and the meeting was very en- thusiastic, the remarks of the several speakers being received with frequent outbursts of applause. The Hon. N. D. Sperry addressed the meeting, and said in opening that one cannot but have a feeling of sympathy for the democratic party in that 1t does not know what it believes in. As an instance of this he cited the fact that in the recent con- vention in Hartford the democrats of the First district declared themselves as opposed to the income tax, while the democrats of the Second district de- clared in favor of the measure. Upon what principles then does the democrat ic party stand, if the different sections of the party are diametrically opposed on the leading issues.
 Mr. Sperry then said that Prince Bismarck in a speech to the reichtag a few years ago stated that the American tariff was the best possible, and recom- mended it to his own country. Germany now, under tariff on sugar, produces enough, not only for her home con- sumption, but also to export The United States approaching the point where this was possible in our own sugar indus try, but our democratic legislators have done millions of dollars of damages in taking away the stimulous of the in- dustry. What hurts one branch of busi- ness injures other branches, and on what principles then do the democrats destroy the industries which it has taken years to build up?
 Mr.Sperry spoke further very forcibly on the tariff question.
 Other speakers besides MT. Sperry were l.. H. Johnson, candidate for state senator; J. H. Howarth,, of the republican state central committee; J. H. Macdonald, chairman of the town committee, and MT. F. S. Perry, secre- tary of the Young Mems Republican club,
