The War of the Roses having destroy
I'd the nobility, times greatly improved,
and industry was declared cOnstitu-
ciOnal.
Edward V at II years of age became
King, and his uncle Dick, Duke of Glou-
cester, became protector. AS such he
was a disgrace, for he protected nobody
but himself. The young king and his
brother, the Duke Of York, We're placed

Hastings, and several other offensive
partisans, on the charge of treason,
We're executed III 1883. He then made
arrangements that he should be urged
to accept the throne, and, with a coy
and reluctant grace peculiar to this
gifted assassin, he caused himself to be
proclaimed Richard III.
Richard then caused the young princes
to be smothered i'll their beds in what is
now called the Bloody Tower. The
Duke of Buckingham was at first loaded
with honors III return for his CORY as
sistance, but even he became disguised
with the wicked usurper and headed Il

and in 1883 he received Il slight testi-
monial from the king. The surprise and
sorrow Of the duke, together with his
thrift and economy in keeping his cigar
from being spattered and his determina-
ton that, although he might be put out,
the cigar should not be, prove him to have
been a man Of great force Of character
for a duke.
Richard now espoused his niece,
daughter Of Edward ~, and i'll order
to make the home nest perfectly free
from social erosion he caused his con-
sort, Anne, to be poisoned. Those who
believed the climate around the throne
to be bracing and healthful had Il chance
to change their views i'll q land where a
pea soup fog can enter. Anne
was the widow of Edward, whom Rich
ard slew at Tewkesbury.
Every one felt that Richard was a
disgrace to the country, and Henry,
earl Of Richmond, succeeded in defeat
ing and Staying the usurper on Bos-
worth field in 1885, when Henry was
crowned on the battlefield.
Richard was buried at Leicester, but
during the reign Of Henry VIII, when
the monasteries were destroyed, Rich
ards body was exhumed and his stone
coffin used for mauy years in that town
as a horse trough.
Shakespeare and the historians give
an unpleasant impression regarding
Richards s personality, but this was done
in the interest Of the Tudors, perhaps.
He was highly intelligent, and if he
had given less attention to usulpaJion
would have been more popular.

houses of Lancaster and York serfdon

No two authors spelled alike at that

Salem College Commencement.

The commencement exercises
at Salem College were unusually
interesting this year.
Crowds of people thronged the
town, and crowded the chapel
hall throughout the week.
There are three strong lyceums
in the school; and each of these
came forward with an excellent
programme for their annual SEES,
sion.
The Philadelphlan Lyceum is
the youngest of the three; and
was organized during the year
for the benefit of the younger
students.
Their session on the evening
of June 18th was the first of the
series.
Sunday evening the Bacca.
laureate Sermon was preached
by Pres. Gardiner, in the M. E.
Church to a crowded house.
His theme was, "Ebenezer-the
stone of help in which he
showed how the college was a
help to the individual, the
household, the community and
the state.
Monday night the Demosthe.
mean Lyceum presented a splen-
did programme to a crowded
house, and the Excelsiors follow
ed on Tuesday morning with an
entertainment fully equal to
those of other days.
Tuesday evening was set
apart to the entertainment in
