 Mir John Burroughs, the American essayist, delivered an interesting lec- ture on Walt Whitman, the poet, before the Phi Beta Kappa society Wednesday evening" Mir Burroughs is eminently fitted to speak on this subject, as he and MT. Whitman were on terms of in- innate friendship. In his lecture MT. Burroughs first spoke of a letter from Edmund c. Stedman, Yale '53, which referred to Whitman as the true poet of democracy.
 MT. Burroughs said that MT. Whit man will probably be rated higher by succeeding generations, as the present | age is too much prejudiced against the ideas which he puts forth. After the lecture an informal reception was ten dered MT Burroughs in the rooms of L. H. Porter '96

HIS W4rERRrRY REMaRKs.

In addition to his remarks regarding newspapers, Rev MT. Poteat said in Waterbury Wednesday night as fol- lows:
 If you don't want to stick to your purpose don't join good government club. Where's New Hayen's good gov ernment club? Why is it meetings have not been held for months? Simply be- cause it's members have backed out. So I say to you if you don't intend to stick to it don't go into any reform move ment Two men like Parkhurst and Tammany coming together in conflict remind one of two locomotives collidinS the one man of sand, grit and en- thusiasm for righteousness, the other a man of sand, grit and enthusiasm for spells. It is a question whether the principle of our local self government will not be fought for as was the prin- ciple of the union."
 The closing suggestion of MT. Po- teat's lecture on Good Citizenship was that instead of supreme court of the United States of America or a su- preme court of the United States of Europe, Asia or Africa, supreme court of the United States of America. Eu- rope, Asia and Africa-of the world was possibility of the future. To such a court he would submit all the differences that should arise in the one united nation of mankind. A man would then be known as a citizen of the planet or of the world instead of any particular country. MT. Poteat's remarks were frequently applauded.

She received an en- core and was presented with boquet of roses.

When the master poet, James Whit comb Riley, praised the works of Moses Gage Shirley, of Goffstown, N. H., he placed the stamp of genius upon the rising young New England poet. To- day all the world knows MT. Shirley as the Poet of the Homes through his Everyday Rhymes and other works MT. Shirley says:

 s Our great writers, our illustrious statesmen, our most eminent physi- clans and best known people, use and recommend this grandest of medicines, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It occupies a position among the sick and ailing far above any other remedy ever discovered. No other rem edy cures like it, no other medicine be- gins to have such a long array of won derful cures. Day after day prominent and we'll known people publish their testimonials and recommend this rem edy because it cured thern, and they desire to point out the road to health to others who may be suffering from nerve weakness over-worked brains, tired-out bodies, nervous debility, in- sornnia, dyspepsia, constipation, rheu- 1natisrf1 or some other affection which causes nervousness, weakness and prostration.
 People need 8 good medicine to pre- pare them for spring. Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy is the best thing possible to take, for it's very name is synonym for power, vigor, strength.
 It is a physicians prescription, the discovery of the most successful spec ialist in curing nervous and chronic dis eases, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th street, New York city, who can be consulted free of charge regarding any case, per sonally or by letter.

MISSES HIS WIFE.
President-Elect Mckinley May Take
q Trip to the Lake City.

CANTON, o., Dec. Bone of Major Nc
inley's friends to-day remarked that since
Mrs. Mckinley is in Chicago her husband
acts like a bridegroom separated from his
bride. Each morning he anxiously awaits
a telegram of greeting from her and each
afternoon he calls her up by long distance
telephone for a chat. He receives nothing
but good reports from her. She has ex-
perienced no inconvenience from her jour
ney. is in her usual health and enjoying
herself very much. Nothing can be learned
here of the probability of the Major going
to Chicago, but it would be no surprise TO
friends should he pack up and start off
almost any day. This would be very much
in accord with his past record. In nearly
every instance in which Mrs. Mckinley has
been separated from him for any consid
erable time or by any considerable dis
tance he has joined her in time to accom-
pany her on the homeWard journey. But,
from all information obtainable, ii he is TO
do so this time the decision is yet to be
reached. Friends are constantly urging him
to take a little trip out OF the city and
telling him that he cannot endure without
respite the strain of the constant stream
of callers, some days numbering hundreds.
The Major went TO church at his usual
place of worship this morning, his old
friend Judge George T.. Baldwin, and Capt.
Hestand accompanied him. After the serv
ices he went home with his mother for din

as his competitor is MrtW. B. Prescott, of
Indianapolis, president OF the international

does not seem formidable. A variety of
questions for discussion or action will come
up before the convention. Among these

NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-Miss Frances f.
Willard has issued an appeal TO the dear
mothers and sisters of America" asking
them to remember at Christmas time the
orphans of Armenia. She says: Il pray
with all my heart and soul that all good
and true people-white ribboners and ev-
erybody else-may give their Christmas
money not to fill the stocking OF a child
tenderly sheltered in Christian home. but
to put stockings on the bleeding little feet
of pitiful Christian children who have no
roof but the sky. no bed Tut the ground
and no food but the ground roots, except
as We who are surrounded by every COM
fort reach out hands of help toward them
and their heart-broken mothers. Let US
ennoble the hearts of our little ones by
showing them how we can on this loved
day carry out the Christian spirit. What
do must be done quickly. One dollar
will feed. shelter and care for orphan
for month. Twelve dollars for a whole
year. The above suggestion is equally
appropriate for New Years gifts. Send
contributions for this object direct TO
