MEMORIAL G4rEWAY TO BE BUI1T

Decided at Meeting of the Prudential
 Committee of the Yale Corporation-Yale
 Notes.
 A meeting of the prudential committee of the Yale corporation was held yester- day morning and it was voted to accept the plan offered by the trustees of the estate of the late William Walter Phelps for the erection of memorial gateway on the Yale campus between Weloh and Lawrence halls. Above the gateway is to be a building which will contain recitation rooms. The build Ing is to be higher than the adjoining buildings, so as to dominate that sec- ton Of the quadrangle, and it is ex- pected that 1t will be of much arehitec- tural beauty. MT. Haight, the archi- feet who drew the plans for Vanderbilt hall, has been engaged to make the de- sign for this memorial structure, and the fund which is made available by MT. Phelps will is to be used in the erec- tion. The gateway will be about twenty feet high, and the building about 100 feet high. This will give needed room for recitation rooms, and will make complete the quadrangular row of build ings now on the campus. Now that the matter has been decided upon, the pre- parations will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and it is hoped to be able to begin work in two months KENT CLUB sPEAKERs--NEw RECORD

the death of Ludwig Szabo, the steward
Of the manor of B. X. Varalja, belong
ing to the family estates of Count
Itchy Won Enyiczke. Szabo, who had
been for many years in the service OF
the prince, bequeathed all his property
about $4,000 gulden-to the Itchy
family.
For" said Szabo shortly before his
death, i was poor miserable fellow
when | entered the service of the count.
SO, having here upon these estates &C
quired the little fortune l possess, it is
only meet it should be returned whence
it came. The money will certainly be
put to good use here but if it went
elsewhere | am not so certain of it. 1t
might be squandered.
The countess gave orders that her
trusty servant should be buried with
great pomp and assigned to him tomb
in the mausoleum among the ancestors
of the Itchy family.-L0nd0n Ne,cs.

A SUCCESSFUL MAN.
Thorwaldsen Had No Confidence in Him
seif-Shy and silent.

Bert Thorwaldsen. the sculptor. be-
gan life under adverse circumstances.
His father drank, his mother was an
ignorant peasant and neither of them
could give the boy the slightest adj
vancement in life, says YOUTHS C0nlpare-
ion. His interest in wood-carving
seemed to bring out the only signs of
intelligence he ever showed at this
early age.
As one writer says. like Claude Lor-
raine, who could never be taught to
make a tart-though his father was a
pastry cook-nor to read a book, he
was quite dense to the charms of read
inc. Yet he could carve wood and
when he was II years old a friend pro-
cured for him admission to the Danish
Academy of Fine Arts and there he
made marvellous progress.
At the age of II he won a small silver
medal awarded by the academy as a
prize for drawing and modelling and
about that time he was required by the
laws of the Lutheran church to present
himself for confirmation. The chap
lain, however, in examining him, found
him so deplorably ignorant of the SIM
plest book-learning that he was about
to send him TO the lower form, when he
happened to ask:
"Was the student who gained the sill
yer medal your brother or any relation
TO you?"
1T was l." responded Bertel, con-
fused. and the good clergyman's tone
and look changed at once.
Here Thorwaldsen, +" said he, respect
fully, you may go into the upper
form"
In the years of his prosperity Thor
waldsen used to declare that he had
never felt such citation as at the first use
Of that respectful title.
His fellow-students at the academy
remembered him as very silent and
shy; a youth who cared little for their
sports and escapades but who worked
while they were talking and who gen.
orally finished his preliminary sketch
while they were deciding how a subject
should be treated. Yet he was not self
confident and an approaching contest
for a cold medal filled him with such
alarm that his fellows had only to say:
"Thorwaidsen, remember the eXamina-
toni to set him trembling.
On the appointed day he appeared
with the rest but when the subject was
given out, "Heliodorus Expelled from
the Temple" panic seized him and he
rose and fed On the way out of the
building he met a friend who persuaded
him to return, and he won the prize
The story of his life is full of alleviat-
ing incidents of high attainment and
idleness, and it was only after he made
a visit to Rome that he awakened to the
true meaning of an artists life. There
after he lived on the full flood of public
favor as very few men have done. Sue
cess attended him daily and to the very
end.

Pence and the Clock.

Mr.. Pence of Colorado was making
an eloque address in the house on one
of the pending tariff bills. Soaring to
high oratorical altitude he pointed to
the house clock and in a solemn tone
exclaimed: This bill will pass when
that clock strikes 10"
There was a solemn hush that lasted
a second or two. when it was brokes bv
voice on the republican side: That
clock doesn't strike, LATE"
1t was Mercer of Nebraska. The
house collapsed with laughter and it
was some time before Mr.. Pence could
regain MS equilibrium.
Pence cOrnered Mercer at the main
door the other afternoon and held him.
Say, Mercer, he said. I've got a
little bill | want you to help me pass.
1t appropriates small sum of money,
not enough to cut any figure in the
treasury balance. Will you vote for
ftp"
Certainly, said Mercer; what is it
for?'
"Oh, | want the house to buy a striker
for that cock" said Pence. sending
Mercer across the lobby with a slap on
the back Washington Post.

Our foreign correspondents have
more than once described sanguinary
duels in the army the principals of
which-mere lads, still in the military
school-were bosom friends, ignorant
of what they were fighting for
In one case TIVE youths were playing
in the schoolyard, when an officer drew
near and asserted that one had touched
the other on the cheek and thusinsulted
him. The boys, who were in n better
position to know than a spectator look
ing down from atwO-pair back window,
denied the statement emphatically, but
the commanding officer gave one of
them his choice between calling out his
friend and being expelled from the es-
Enlistment. The meeting" took
place a few days later and when it was
over one of the two friends and COM
rades had to be carried off to the hospi-
tai dangerously wounded and disabled

without more tangible results than dis
turbing the mounds of crisp, sparkling

we learn that his majesty has introduced

that in future every real or constructive

washed out with human blood.

A Persian Dinner-Party.

When the host thinks that the enter
tainment has lasted long enough he
gives the signal for suppar, which is
served either in the same or in another
room. A cloth is laid on the floor,
round which are arranged the long. tlal
cakes of pebble bread" which do dou-
bic duty as food and plates.
The meats, consisting for the most
part of "pilaws" and "chilaws" of differ
ent sorts, are placed in the center, to-
gether with bowls of sherbet. each of
which is supplied with a delicateIy-
carved wooden spoon, with deep boat
shaped bowl, whereof the sides slope
down to form sort of keel at the bot
tom. The guests squat down on their
knees and heels round the cloth. the
host placing him whom he desires most
to honor on his ri ght side at the upper
end of the room ii. e., opposite the
door,
At the lower end the musicians and
MINISTRIES take their places and all, with
out further delay, commence an attack
on the viands. The consumption of
food progresses rapidly, with but little
conversation, for it is not usual in Per
sla to ilnger over meals or to prOlOng
them by talk, which is better conducted
while the mouth is not otherwise en-
ployed. If the host wishes to pay spe-
cial honor to guest he picks out and
places in his mouth some particularly
delicate morsel
In about a quarter of an hour from
the commencement of the banquet most
OF the guests have finished and washed
their hands by pouring water over them
from metal ever into a plate of the
same material, brought round by the
servants for that purpose. u They then
rinse out their mouths, roll down their
sleeves again, partake of a final pipe.
and, unless they mean TO stay for the
night, depart homeward. either on foot
or on horseback, preceded b. servant

The phrase grass widow should
rather be grace widow" for the first
has no foundation in fact, and is
simply barbarism, or fungus,
which has attached itsel to the Eng
llsh language. Grace widow" is a
term for one who becomes a widow by
grace or favor, not of necessity, as by
death, and originated in the earlier
ages of European civilization, when
divorces were granted but seldom, and
wholly by authority of the Catholic
Church. When such decree was
granted to a woman the Papal re-
script states 'Nidua de gratia," which
interpreted is widow of grace"
