And the Band Kept ON PLAYING.

Mr.. EDiToR:-l noticed with regret the re-
marks in the last issue of your paper in re-
gard to the Hyde Park band giving concerts
at Morrisville, and it might be inferred that
the band was anxious for such an arrange
ment. To correct such impression, it ex.
lists, allow me to say as leader of the Hyde
Park band, that have never been approach
ed by any one with view to securing the SER
vices of the band for the purpose named, and
so far as am concerned or am able to judge,
there is no disposition on the part of the
band, or any of its members to take any
measures whatever that would endanger the
friendly feeling that has always seemed to ex-
ist between the members of the Morrisville
and Hyde Park bands. J. s. LEACH.

Did He Take His Life?
The Boston Globe of Friday last
had the following

The Boston Globe of Friday last
had the following
Albert Manning tried to commit suicide at
Hotel Alpha, 2l Green ST., yesterday fore.
noon, by turning on the gas. He was found
IN an unconscious condition about TO- and
Medical Examiner Harris worked over him
for some time. The police were not notified
about the case until 3:15, when Manning's
condition became somewhat serious and he
was then taken to the Massachusetts General
Hospital. The cause of his act is supposed
to have been dependency. He is "a, and his
father, Michael Manning, lives in Hyde
Park, Vt.
Postmaster Noyes happened to
see this and at once sent the paper
up to Mr.. Manning's people, which
was the first and in fact the only
news they have as yet received con-
corning the affair. In reponse to tel
egraphic inquiry word was received
Saturday announcing that the young
man had died. By request of rela-
tives A. H. COpley of Dorchester had
the remains sent to this place, reach
ing here Monday morning. The
funeral services were held at st.
Teresa's church at 10 O'Clock.
The death of the young manin this
unfortunate manner is particularly
sad, and the sympathy of the COM
munity is sincerely rendered Mr.. and
Mrs. Manning. His friends here
doubt very much the truth of the
assertion that he took his life. He
was at home several weeks last spring
and returned to Boston in June,
where he secured work the day after
arriving, at Nantasket. He kept the
job until very recently, and gave it
up on account of the salt air disa-
greeing with him. On Wednesday
last he visited his brother Edward at
Brockton, and then started for Wor-
cester, where he had situation in
view. The young man was industri-
GUS and economical and had saved
several hundred dollars.

Base Ball.

The promised allgame was played
according to programme last Satur-
day, and was "kid glove" game
most surely. In the main the teams
were made up as advertised, though
one or two in each nine were drafted
at the eleventh hour to fill vacancies
caused by unavoidable absences,
that tired feeling" or palpitation of
the heart. As the players scattered
out over the greensward they pre-
sented a charmingly diversified and
picturesque appearance, the bloom
ing regalia worn by some particularly
captivating the galaxy of feminine
eyes watching the sport. The at
tendance was large. Wearers of the
blue were first to bat, and as the
game opened, everybody was all at
tention. Space will not permit de-
tailed account of the game, which
was closely contested from start to
finish. Considering that some of the
"boys" hadn't had hand in a
game of ball for twenty full years
and that all were out of practice the
game was rlppin good one. Hard
hitting and good fielding were quite
in order. The manner in which
Cashier Knight slid to third was a
feature Of the game, and was con-
ceded by all to be a most gracefully
and skilfully executed performance.
Doc" Genge shattered bat in reg
ular professional style. The one
hand catch of a high fly by Crane
elected hearty applause, as did also
an excellent fly catch on the part of
Fairbanks. Cashier Noyes played
ball with all his old-time vigor, and
the way he made bases showed he
had not forgotten the game. Um-
pires Hulburd and Thorp gave great
satisfaction. The crimson team all
but turned defeat into victory in the
last inning, as the score given below
will show

MRS. HARRIET BEEOHER STOWE.

Forty -FOUR years after "Uncle
Toms Cabin" was written and at the
patriarchal age of S5, Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Americas most fa
nous woman author, was laid to rest
last week in the quiet cemetery at
Andover, Mass, between her hus-
band and her child.
During the greater part of these
years since her phenomenal book was
published, Mrs. Stowe has lived
quietly in her beautiful home at
Hartford, Conn, devoting herself to
literary occupations and to ministry
to her numerous friends. OF late
years, though her health continued
good almost to the last, she had done
but little work but quietly watch the
evening shadows grow longer on the
landscape of life until at last came
twilight and the starlit night.
OF life so long and honored, so
intimately and forever associated with
the grandest event of the century with
which her life was so nearly ceval, it
is difficult to speak except in lam
guage which to generation which
has grown up since the great war, may
seem exaggerated. Mis-. Stoves
great work was not merely great
novel; it was the great epic of free
dom in the dark days of slavery and
its success was simply without a par
allel in the history of literature. 1t
was written without expectation of
reward save in the prayers of the
poor and the oppressed; yet three
editions came out in as many weeks,
one hundred and twenty editions in
one year in America, while in Eng
land eighteen publishing houses
were kept busy supplying the de-
mand for the book and in a short
time it had been translated into
twenty different languages. Yet this
book. which kindled the enthusiasm
of millions, was a still small voice
which came forth "from the sanctuary
of a woman's heart" and unlike the
voice to which the prophet listened
preceded the lightning, the tempest
and the earthquake.
Before the power of slavery the

tional halls of council and debate,

ment. 1t has been the wise policy of the
Christian Endeavor societies not to enter
as such into national politics; but in
many cities they now take active part in
the reform movements which attack cor
ruption and seek to take city elections
as far as possible out of the sphere of
national issues. Provided they enter
this field with discretion. and under wise
direction. we know of no public service
which is more appropriate for Christian
young people.
The Return to Supernaturalism.
(rhe independently
Nothing is more striking than the
present development of thought, as re-
lated to religion and theology, than the
return to the Christian view of the real
ity of the supernatural world. We
have been passing through a dreary
period characterized by bold and some
times desperate attempts to get rid of
the supernatural altogether. to remove
it beyond the sphere of human interest
and recognition, or to extend the natural
so far as to remove the line of demarca-
tion and make the two spheres one.
The futility of these attempts to solve
the problems of existence by denying
their reality or their Importance. is be-
ginning to be asserted again, and in
circles of too much influence to be easily
overlooked.

AN INSTITUTION TO BE REOK0NED
WITH,

ONE of the best testimonials as to
the beneficial effects of bicycling
comes from an unexpected quarter.
Collector Mize of the internal reve-
nue. Office of this city says indications
point to dropping off of about 1000
saloons from the number Of last year.
Part of this decrease is doubtless to
be attributed to the weeding-out
process adopted by the brewers
trust some time ago, but Collector
Mize thinks the bicycle craze has
affected the saloon business to the
extent of closing up several hundred
saloons. The craze for bicycling
affects the saloon business in two
ways: it induces habits of retrench-
ment and economy in order to pay
for the wheels and bicycling outfits,
and secondly the pleasurable exer-
else of wheeling and the time spent
in that diversion diminish the saloon
lists chances of entertaining.
There are, however, some points on
which the wheel is vulnerable and it is
far from being an unmixed blessing
in the present stage of development
of the mania. AS to the wheel in gen
eral, opinion seems to be rapidly be-
coming unanimous. The few who
do not ride wheel are very lonesome
now, and are likely to become still
more so until in self-defense they, too,
will be compelled to join the process
sion of riders. Preachers are preach
ing about the wheel land many of
them riding it), writers are writing
about it, and everybody thinking
about it, those who do not ride per-
haps doing the most thinking of all.
There are still pedestrians who cling
to their favorite form of locomotion,
but the vast majority have voted
pedestrianism '''too slow" The few
pedestrians left are growing as ner-
vous as bicyclers themselves, for to
them, as Speaker Reed sometime
ago said, the problem of the day is
How to dodge bicycle" Physi-
cally this addiction to wheeling has
done wonders for many but the ex-
cesses of wheeling and the countless
daily accidents attendant upon it in
the city must be regarded as partial
offset of its benefits.
The moral phase of bicycling is
the most serious of all. A glance
at the hundreds of bicycles in the
streets and boulevards of this city
on Sunday morning or evening
shows that new attraction, an at
traction far greater even than the sa-
loon and the theater, greater in fact
than all other attractions combined,
will now have to be reckoned with by
preachers and churches if they would
retain, or rather regain, their usual
audience of young and old. One
Chicago church checks bicycles but
80 far it has done but little to check
bicyclers themselves. Where craze
or mania will end no one, of course,
can predict, and with all the world
on wheels it is difficult to call a halt
long enough to consider the question.
Possibly it will pass as other fad s
have passed, but at present there are
no signs of wane and the wheel seems
to have come to stay and is therefore
an institution that will have TO be
reckoned with for good or evil.

recollections that the class would bear
away with them. His address was full
OF words of encouragement and love for
old Buchtel," and was we'll delivered.
Major 9. W. F. Dick. to whom no sub.
ject had been assigned choose to speak
on THE Educated Man in Politics" He
spoke of the wonderful influence
welded by the voter of today in a gov
eminent OF the people and by the people
He spoke Of the many difficult ques.
tions which have been solved in the past
and OF the many which must be solved
in the future. The fact that the west.
ern republic is destined to lead the
world makes it a the more important
that these questions should be solved
correctly. He hoped that in the future
great work of this government Buchtel
will do her share.
Mrs. Lillian Moore Pardee, one of the
graduates and former professor in the
College, next spoke on women in Poll
ties. Mrs. Pardee is now clerk of the
Utah State Senate. She pleaded ear
neetly for woman suffrage and aroused
applause and merriment by the state
ment that she was Republican and her
husband a Democrat and that they had
both stumped the State of Utah in
the interests of their respective par
tiee.
Mr.. p. E. Werner; to whom no subject
had been assigned. spoke on education in
general and especially it's effect on the
business of the country. He stated that
he did not believe in the way our public
schools are being conducted. He be-
ieved that all schools should be under
the direct control of State commissit n
and that the State should establish an
institution for the training of all it's
teachers. He did not believe in making
an educated man become puppet in
the hands OF few men who are often
very ignorant, but who happen through
political pulls to be elected to our school
boards.
DR.. E. L. Rexford was to have been
the next speaker, but owing to the late
ness of the hour he gave his time to Mr..
A. E. Hyre. the editor of the "Cuyaho-
gian" who made an address on What
College Education has Done for Me- fully
sustaining his reputation as humorist,
in which line he is regarded as the Bill
Nye" of Buchtel College.
1t was 1:30 A. M. when Mr.. Hyre fin
ished speaking. Owing to this the
Alumni Rallying Song to the tune of
Marching Through Georgia" composed
by Mr.. Putt, a member of the class of
90 for this occasion, was not sung as in
tended as the closing exercise of the
great reunion.
The menu card for this memorable
banquet was not only beautiful but in
teresting, in that the cover was a fac
smile reproduction of the first diploma
issued by the College. 1t was issued to
Miss Susie Chamberlain, now Mrs. Cole,
on the ninth day of July, 1878, and con-
tains the signatures of j. r. BuchteI,
President, and S. M. Burnham, Secretary
for the Trustees, and S. HI. McCollester,
President, for the faculty. Mrs Cole
has lived in Akron since her graduation
and she contributed no small amount to
the success of the reunion.

ndu QudlleQ. Even on Webster
Jove like front Whittier, the poet of
freedom, was compelled to write
"Ichabod "and compromise" was the
highest that even Henry Clay aspired
to with slavery. And, strapgest
anomaly of all, even the pulpit seemed
paralyzed and the press, except in the
case of a few abolition" organs,
dared not evoke the spirit of the tenn
pest that all knew was slumbering
beneath the apparently calm surface
of American politics. Doubtless
there were many patriots who shrank
at the terrible cost of freeing the
country of freedom from the reproach
of the nations and blindly trusted to
some as yet unknown means by which
the blight of slavery might be re-
moved without paying the cost Di-
vine vengeance exacted for griev-
Gus national sin. 1t is true slavery
was an inheritance from British rule,
that it had grown almost unconscious
ly to a giants strength, and, standing
in the clearer light of today, it does
not become us to censure too strongly
the defenders of an institution that
many believed to be divine.
But fortunately clear, pure, strong
resolute soul, with unperverted, noble
instincts, was brought face to face
with slavery and realized it's enormity,
and with courage that reckoned not
the fearful cost came forth as the
champion of those who had no spokes-
man, and from whom the very light
of God seemed averted.
What men had not dared to do a
woman did. She touched the con-
science and the heart of universal
humanity in behalf of the slave and
from all parts of the world came a
quick response. She ibid more for
humanity than was ever accomplished
before by single book of fiction"
She invoked the hurricane rather
than endure the pestilence and ''Un-
Gle Toms Cabin" with its vivid por-
trayal of slavery, became not only the
most popular book of the century
but the immediate forerunner of the
gathering tempest whose thunders
and lightning were necessary to
purify the political atmosphere and
make this in reality as well as in
name the land of freedom.
Mrs. Stowe wrote dozens of other
books, but these, though many of
them, as Old Town Folks" The
Minister'S Wcoing," agnes of Sor-
rento." The Pearl of Orr's Island"
ETC., are exquisite stories and contain
the best picture of the early life of
New England that we have, were, of
course, insignificant as to their re-
suits compared to her epoch making
story of slave life.
And now at last, full of years and
honors, she has joined the shadowy
procession which is forever passing,
and the last of the great names of
our earlier American literature is ad-
ded to ''fame's eternal SCROLL" Upon
the shaft of New England granite
that will mark the last resting place
of Harriet Beecher Stowe we know of
no no more fitting words to be placed
than these:-"Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, We have done it unto
me-"
