cable the necessity Of immediate inter.
vcntion In China by United States and
British governments and the following
telegram was, according to a rcsolu.
tion, addressed to the Associated Press
Ms an expression of the sentiments Of
the foreign residents Of Ticn Tsin and
an appeal to the people of the United
States for assistance:
OThe foreign community Of Ticn Tsin
express sympathy with the friends OF
the Ku Cheng victims. They consider
the Chinese officials guilty and the
British and Americans blame the con-
tinucd ayathy OF their governments
FOR the sltuation. They regard Eng
lands demands for an inquiry into the
Ku Cheng massacre to be useless, for as
before, the officials will buy innocent
heads as substitutes for the actual
criminals. They protest that the Sze
Chueu commission implicated the OFF,
Gals OF that province. England and
America must send an %ultimatum
threatening reprisals Diplomacy is
useless. We implore attention.

THE WINNING OF FAME.
One OF the Ways In which . Man May
Perpetuate Ills Memory


A man may win widespread and
iong-enduring fame by founding an in
stitution OF learning which shall bear
his name. says New York Sun. The
cry Cornell was heard over England
last week-it had long been familiar in
the United States; and the years have
added lustre TO the memory OF Ezra
Cornell. who founded the university at
ithaca, N. Y, which was chartered
thirty years ago, and opened for stu
dents In 1868, during the Presidency of
Andrew Johnson. The name OF the
Rev. John Harvard Of England and
Massachusetts has been commemorated
for more than two centuries and a half
as the founder OF Harvard college. now
known as Harvard university. The
name Of Elihu Yale, born in New
Haven. Conn.,, died in England. Is en-
balmed In Yale university, formerly
known as Yale college. which enjoyed
his benefactions in the first quarter Of
the eighteenth century. In California
there Is Stanford university, named af-
ter a son Of the late Leland Stanford;
there is the Johns Hopkins university
In Baltimore; there Is Vanderbilt uni
versity in Tennessee: there is Vassar
college near P~oughkeepsie called after
Matthew Vassar, and there are many
other universities or colleges called af-
ter their founders or benefactors. The
Rev DR.. Marcus Whitman, a pioneer In
the farthest west, is cO.nmerorated in
Whitman college, o to be university.
In the state Of Washington. II n can
not found a university or a college, a
seminary may serve to pe%rpetuate his
name. At East Hampton. In Massa-
chusetts, there Is Williston seminary,
named after their founders. 1t may be
ton; and there are In the country hun
dreds OF other institutions Of the kind
named after their founders. II may be
inferred from the examples here that
the man who desires to perpetuate his
memory would do we'll to establish a
university, college, seminary. or other
institution Of learning, and give 1t his
lame.
