 Princeton'n Big Celebration.

The highest hopes of Princeton under graduates, alumni and facdlty are ccn- tered on the outcome of the sesquicen- tennial celebration to be held Oct. 22, 1896. This date marks the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of tbe granting of the tirFt charter to the College of New Jersey. With this celebration Princeton will catfr upon q new era under the name of Princeton university
 Not only will the naine If the insti- tuition Ina ohilasfsi. ttt almost $I, 900, GOO has already been promised to help the institution tO s4aine university di- mensions Tl1ee committees have been hand at work for over year preparing for the event
 Many 1f the most prominent mon in this country and tbread have been SC cured t0 speak at the celebration. Pres ident Cleveland has promised to be pres ent and make an address. Professors Fine Buckingham and Marquand have been abroad to secure prominent mon from the universities of Germany, France and England and have met with great success Franco not only promises to be represented, but the entrance re- quirements of her universities have been made such as to be most advantageous to Princeton graduates.
 The celebration proper will be made typical of Princeton and all she stands for i'll history, past and present. A me morial volume setting forth the glories of her past in education and in the na- tien'a life will be issued The pro gramme will be continued through three days

 Thirty Pounds.


 Thirty Pounds.
 President Cleveland has the ightest duclxboat in the world It is made of aluminium. It is II feet long and weighs exactly 30 pounds
 This boat was presented to the presi- lent by w, IT. Mullins of Salem, O.. 'ho is the first boat manufacturer to use aluminium for this purpose Ono was exhibited at the recent sportsman $ exposition in New York, and it set peo- pie who arc fond of duck shooting to thinking.
 A boat that will carry two persons and may be lifted easily with one hand is a useful contriyance, particularly ill such waters as the Adirondack lakes, where frequent portages are necessary. The softest stroke of the paddle will set it in motion. It's draft is so small that 1t can run among the thick reeds where the ducks love to hide ill the day time Painted green, it can hardly be distin- guished from the rushes.
 The president will doubtless take much comfort in his new and remarka- ble craft. Air tanks at bow and stern make 1t unsuitable, so that it Is as safe as q wooden duckboat

 President F. R. Lawrence made a speech eulogizing Mir Jefferson, and when he called for rising toast to the honored guest it was given with ter rife hurrah.
 Mir Jefferson told how a company with which he was traveling-wall1ing between stations and not for their health became stranded at Springfield, Ills At that time a license had to be paid for the privilege of showing in the town, and the company was unable to pay it. They were stuck They could go no farther.
 Tn our extremity, said the actor, "a young lawyer came and offered his services free. We accepted his help, and through his efforts the license restrie- tion was removed and we presented our play That good lawyer now lies buried at Springfield, and grand monument has been reared over his grave That man, our benefactor, was Abraham Lin coin.

 The applause of the audience fairly shook the house.

THE KAISER AT VEsUVus.
The German Emperor Pays A Visit to the
 Tamuna Volcano.

Famous Volcano.
 The t.erinaii eianeref visited the era- ter if Mount Vesuytas recently. Amem- her of tho party thus describes the ex- perience:
 From the top of the station pretty steep zgzag path leads up distance of 100 yuds to the crater The rumbling of tho mountain and the gigantic cloud of smoke which follows it is only peri odieal, and it was not till the party had walked round the edge of the crater that they heard, for the first time, tremen- dous, thunderlil1e sounds deep down be- low them. They were all so oyerwhelm- ed with awe that they were rooted to the spot When the smoke cleared away, steam smelling of sulphur crept out of numerous small Assures i'll every direction around them In spite of the disagreeable atmosphere the party re- mained for some time OH the edge of the crater enchanted with the spectacle
 The bed of lava was crossed for . second time. This time halt was made at fresh stream of lava, which since their coming had crept little farther. Speculative Italians picked out glowing lava with iron reds and pressed small coins into it, which stick fast when it eools. This caused the young princes much amusement
 ''0n the return to Portici the crowds were greater than ill tho morning. Tho emperor on the way to Vesuvius had thrown silver coins to the numerous beggars, and news of this raro thing had spread like wildfre. The carriages wero surrounded on all sides as they drove slowly through Pmtici, but when the horses started at q more rapid pace tho crowd of children, women, men and police set off en a wild chase behind thpln p

A CHANGE OF SIGNALS.
Shall tic Green Re Placed Above tho Red
 on American ReiIroads2

on American Rallroads2
 There is considerable discussion among railroad men just now over a proposed change in the signals generally i'll uae on American railroads for the guidance of engineers. At arecent meeting of en- gineers in Chicago it was determined to agitate for change from the existing rules
 Where q red light is displayed on the line of an American railroad it means that there is danger ahead, and under the regulations of most roads an engi- neer getting this signai stops the train until either it is removed or another signal is displayed, or until the signal is given by the train dispatcher to pro- ceed. The green signal means caution. The white signal means all clear ahead. The objection to the use of white lights IS double one--frst, that they are too common, and, second, that they are un- trustworthy, for, as railroad men point out, if a red lantern is broken the light shown becomes white ono, and thus the safety of the train and the passcn- gers upon it may be imperiled by the breaking of q piece of glass
 As railroad signals are not always distingaishable frem ordinary lights, American engineers have come general ly to disregard the white signals entire ly, and to look out merely for q red sig nal, the absence of which they take to be proof of security Those who are agi- tating for change desire to see intro duced here the English system, which differs from the American in this, that the English use an amber light for eau tion and green light for Gall clear {" The proposition is to use a green light on American railroads to indicate that all is well, while a red signal light will continue to be mark of danger It is estimated that complete change of the signal service on American rail roads would cost $1, GOO, 900, and most of the railroad corporations, now cur tailing expenses, do not give very hearty approval to the engineers plan at this time.

How to Get Famous In Congress.

Oratory is the surest and shortest road to congress, and if man wants to stay in congress after he gets there he had better be an orator than reformer In fact, the days of the reformer are wan ing. The business of reform has been SC overdone and the article has so often proved spurious that a congressman who indulges in it as stock in trade is looked upon with suspicion. If a congressman is not an orator, the second best card for him to play is to get the reputation of being business man. III C. Evans in Des Moines Leader

 Joseph NJ Huston, q Philadelphia architect, has designed the largest office building in the United States for con strnction ill New York city, and the plan has been submitted to certain New York capitalists. BIr. Huston said re- gently:
 "A gentleman has offered me sufficient ground in Fulton street for the building. The plan consists of an enormous arcade like that of the Victor Emanuel in Milan, the arch of which should be 30 feet high. On either side of the arcade will be stores with frontage of 50 feet and 85 feet deep, which would make 16 stores i'll all Thanked at each corner of the block will be four square buildings 20 by 70 feet and l5 stories high, with q clubhouse on the top floor, covered by an immense roof garden. The clubhouse is intended to be used as the United Clubs of Paris are, giving each small club separate room with a buffet, all to be supplied from a central restaurant.
 "The remaining II floors will be de voted to offices, about 150 on each floor a AiOtlbSi tbtiti 1saANtab Hull " III Dt AIGGl- ed on the ground floor, each of which will have q seating capacity of about $500 persons. On one side, running parallel with the arcade, will be large hotel 20 by 100 feet, containing about 500 rooms. On the side opposite to the hotel the arcade side entrances will be located The cost of the building will be about $5, 000, 00O o-New York World.
