Resolutions Passed at tho Church of the Rede mer.
 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace" James 8, 1S This text was the basis of a patriotic sermon preached at the Church of the Redeemer yester- day morning by tbe pastor, Rev. Wat. son L. Phillips, D. D. The influence, the life and the character of Washing ton upon our national life past, present and future, was treated in a masterly way by the speaker.
 Dr. Phillips looks on the bright side of things and looks for great good to come from the principles promulgated and acted upon by the father of his country. The practical lesson taught by the sermon is embodied in the reso- lution offered at the close of the sermon by Morris F, Tyler, Esq. They read as 1 follows:
 Whereas, The recent course of pub lie events has led to much discussion in the public prints and in the delibera- tive assemblies of the nation, of the possibility of war between the peo- pie of these United States and the peo- pie of Great Britain, and,
 1 Whereas, Under such circumstances 1t seems imperative that the opinion of the Christian churches of the na- tion should be most clearly and un- mistakably expressed on behalf of ev- cry righteous and reasonable effort to avoid the woeful catastrophe of war between two nations having so much in common in their history, their ideals and their purposes.
 Therefore, Resolved by this congrega- tion that we sincerely and heartily ap- prove of all efforts made to arrange by arbitration, and the avoidance of war all international difficulties between the United States and any foreign power, but we particularly feel the appro- priateness of such method to the so- lution of differences with the govern ment of England that we, therefore, de- sire to put upon record this expression of our opinion that it would be in all ways most wise if the federal govern l ments could by general treaty or other wise arrange with the government of England q permanent method by which some authority could De created to which both governments should re- l fer all questions between them when they could not agree and of which they should agree to accept the decision.
 Resolved, That we urge the president of the United States and upon our sena- tors and representatives in congress the pressing importance of such action and also the assurance of the support and cooperation of the people in all efforts to bring about such a conclusion; and of our conviction that if will result in lasting good and in the preventing of unimagined evils not only to the two nations immediately concerned, but to the whole civilized world.
 Resolved, That the pastor of this church is requested, to forward copies of these resolutions through the proper channels to the president of the United States, and, if it shall be deemed best to the government of Great Britain.
 On motion of J. D. Dewell the reso- lutions were. unanimously adopted,

WEsE EYAN H0LTDIY COMBINATION

. Sophnmores and Freshmen Rush for tI,e Possession of q Cannon Girls Burn Books and Effigies of Professors.
 Middletown, Feb. 23.--The students of Wesleyan college observed Washing tons birthday yesterday by indulging in strong evidences of class rivalry The principal contest was over the pos- session of a small cannon, with which the salutes were fired.
 The sophomores kidnapped the leader of the freshman class, Charles Ray mond, and locked him up for eight hours. Frank Sergeant escaped after hot chase.
 The freshmen marched on the cam pus, seventy strong, with a mock can- non. The sophomores, about the same number, rushed" them, and struggled for over an hour to capture the cannon. Boys rolled over and over. Many blows were delivered, but no serious wounds inflicted. The sophomores finally cap- tured the stand rod, but as they were triumphantly carrying it down to the river the real cannon was brought from it's hiding place and fired.
 Part of the sophomores ran back and tried to capture the real one, but did not succeed. The others carried the stand rod of the cannon down to the river and threw it on the ice. It did not break through and was brought up again by the freshmen. They fired the cannon on the campus and then down in front of the girls dormitory, shatter- ing many panes of glass
 The freshmen and sophomore girls girls then had contest, the former wishing to light up and the latter ob- jecting. The sophomores were trium- phant. They disabled all the fresh mems lamps and broke the chimneys.
 Later the girls held mock trial of detested professors, burned them in ef- figy, and made a bonfire of their geom- etries and trigonometries. They had a war dance around the burning pile and sang songs against the professor of mathematics.
 A banquet was held in the evening in the gymnasium. Some four hun dred graduates and undergraduates were present.

Edgad Wilson Nye, or more familiar ly, Bill Nye," was one of the best known American humorilSts. Ills quaint, good-natured, broadly exagger- ating writings gave him large client age among the newspaper readers and lecture attendants. While his humor was pronouncedly aggressive and dis tinctly American, his lectures and writ ings received a very warm reception in England and other foreign countries
 MT. Nye was born in Shirley Me, Au- gust 25, 1850 but in his early days his father took him to Wisconsin,, which vas then being settled. He grew up on farm and was educated at River Falls, where he studied law. He mov- ed to wyoming territory in 1878, was ad- mitted to the bar and found but cool reception. Justice was administered in those days in such fashion that law yers' services were not in demand.
 The barren legal field caused MT. Nye to begin writing for the Cheyenne Sun at $1 per column. Soon reportorial place on the Denver Tribune was given to him. Later he went to Laramie, Wyo., and started The Boomerang. His writings attracted attention, and news papers in all parts of the country pub lished extracts from The Boomerang. When the paper finally proved finan- cial failure, he was able to find a market for his weekly letters.
 He then entered upon a prosperous career. His writings found a ready sale and his lectures were well attended. It has been said that his income of late years has reached s30,000 per year, He once made lecture tour with James Whitcomb Riley.
 MT. Wye married Miss Fannie Smith | of Chicago in 1877, and had four children, two boys and two girls. He 1 lived in Wisconsin for some time, then on Staten Island, and finally at his beautiful country home near Asheville, 1 N. c. This place is near the mourn tains, in the center of the aristocratio | district a short distance from George | Vanderbilt's Biltmore.
 Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 23--The people of Laramie and Cheyenne heard the news of "BilI' Yves death with keen
 regret yesterday afternoon. The old Boomerang office over the stable will
 be draped with mourning. It was there
 that Nye made his reputation, saying
 that Ito get to our office, you go down the alley, enter the stable. twist the
 gray il1uie's tail, and immediately te lse | the elevator"

is perfect food for it1valids. It is also amedicine. It contains Ozone and Qua iacol. These make appetite. Appetite creates desire for food. Cod Liver Oil-the basis of Ozomulsion-su supplies it. It is the best nutrient known. By nutrient, is meant anything that pro- notes growth and repairs waste. Ozo- mulsion does this. That's why invaiids like it. They like 1t also because it is easy to take, easy to digest, easy to as- simulate. This makes it perfect food. Then 1t does not nauseate like ordinary Cod Liver Oil. Does not cause eructa- tions, that is, beiching of wind from the stomach. It does nourish, refresh strengthen and fortily. That's another reason why it's an ideal food for sick people. But above and beyond all it is best, not because its basis is Cod Liver Oil, but because it contains Ozone and
