''fiinder Nobody; Help Everybody"

At an early'hour Sunday night the
people began 10 gather at the Audito-
rum to hear Prof. De Motto, as it had
been announced Saturday evening
that he had kindly consented to speak
to the people pf Wellington Sunday
night. By eight o'clock every seat in
the Auditorium was taken and che )
had to be provided for the choir upon
the platform. Every church in the
city had dismissed in order to listen
to the words OF instruction and wis
dom which they were confident to re-
ceiye. They were not disappointed,
for after the opening prayers ard
songs Prof. DeMOtte was introduced
by ". V. B. Holmes who, in behalf VI
the large audience and the lecture
club, graciously thanked Prof. De.
Motto for his kindness 10 accepting
the invitation to speak.
Prof. DeMotte then began in an
easy and entertaining manner, and
for over an hour held the audie nee at.
tentiye listeners.

Prof. DeMotte took no certain text

Prof. DeMotte took no certain text
but his theme was that greatest Of
scientific laws. "The constant execu-
tiOn of a definite function gradually
effects structural change" Al
though there were many other princi-
pies presented which were equally
true, this one was Of the most prOmi-
nence and might be called the main
subject Of his discourse.
/ His first great idea was "a machine
Is measured by the amount Of wolk it
can do" In illustrating he told Of a
magnificent locomotive which was
rendered worthless in the time Of
need by one small defect and grimy
freight engine put in its place.
The Professor does not look for laws
or force TO make things better but
people must learn to store the right
kind Of energy. Every year he adopts
a motto and lives up to 1t himself.
This year his motto is the subject Of
this article, "Hinder Nobody; Help
Everybody" a motto that could well
be adopted by all.
His lecture was so deep, so rich, so
grand, that we can not hope to de-
scribe it fully but one and all who
were present unite in saying it was
one Of the best, if not the best lecture
they ever heard.

The reception and program were
held in the upper hall and board

faultlessly rendered:

Der of the class, was the victim. The
'fanfahraus," disguised by colored
masks. tore the candidate from the
young ladies Of the class of '96, who
were lOath to surrender him to his
fate. He was then blindfOlded and
made to wear the big hat which he,
himself, had presented to the class of
'95 at their commencement last year.
In the darkened hall, amid the wierd
glare Of red tableau lights, with the
Alumni singing, "As Harold comes
Marching Slowly In" he was led
around to four persons, the Lord
High Dizzard," the Chief Garerstang,"
her "AltitudinOus Giglet" and the
Lord High Comparator." He was
made to state that he was willing to
have his hair singed close to his
head, carry red hot iron in his hand

merit the benefits OF the order.
(Groans Of approval.) He swore he
would quit going with another fel-
lows girl and that he would only firt
with Alumni members. loud groans
Of rejOicing.) He further swore that
he would never pass an ice cream par.
lor with an Alumni girl without beg
ging her to have a dish OF cream

coming a skeleton like the one in his

in a little red wagon amid the red fire
and grCanS, when he was declared a
full-fedged member.
The banquet now being ready and
the Alumni having exhausted its
stock OF grOans, it was decided to
leave the remaining members OF the

GOODBYE OLD MAN.

Governor.

Hugo Fisher Thought He Was a
Governor.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-Hugo
Fisher, the well-known artist, has re-
turned from a seven-months' sketching
tour in the Hawaiian Islands He
brought back many interesting pic
lures, a lot of exciting "reminiscences
and number of @'good-luck stories
in which the sale OF twenty-eight paint
ings produced on the islands figures
prominently.
Though there was considerable talk
of hard times in Honolulu, there was no
difficulty in getting orders for pict-
ures,'' he said. The wealthy men of
the islands were particularly liberal
Fred Yates went over about two months
ago and he has been kept busy ever
since his arrival painting portraits of
prominent Hawaiians. Howard Hitch
cock and Mrs. Kelly, widow whose
husband was once cashier of the Safer
Banking Company, have many pupils
and are doing some very clever work. :"
Mr.. Fisher explored the various ISL
aRds, painting the most picturesque
scenes. When at HilO with James
Stacker, city editor of the Commercial
Advertiser" he was awakened one
night by feeling the house tossed about.
The wild changing of the church bells,
the crash of falling buildings and the
shrieks of the natives made him grasp
Stacker's hand and call out: Goodbye,
old man. You've been good friend
to me. GOod-bye!"
But the earth had not been entirely
disrupted. 1t was only heavy earth
quake, which opened a crack that ex-
tended from the ocean three miles in
land.
Mr. Fisher will remain in San Fran
cisco about six weeks. He then intends
making a sketching tour through Mex
leo and Central America.

audience. If one can judge of the in
terest taken in these lectures by the
number of written questions handed
in to be answered and the presence
of the note books seem throughout the
audience. and the close attention
evinced for two full hours, the ladies
are thoroughly approaching DR.. Ry-
der's talks. 1t is pleasant to hear
that it is possible that the doctor will
give lecture on her life experiences in
the Orient, to which the general public
will be admitted.
