CHANCELLOR DAY.
Some Account of His Important Work at
Syracuse.

The University Forum, published at
Syracuse, N. Y, gives the following ac-
count of Chancellor ]. r. Days work
in Syracuse University. Chancellor Day
was formerly pastor Of chestnut street
Methodist church in Portland:
When within q year new college of
medicine has been completed and opened
In Syracuse University, when newly
instituted college Of law has proved it.
self an unQuestioned success, when four
departments nave been instituted in the
College of Liberal Arts, when a magnifi-
cent new ten story block on Vanderbilt
square has been made a certainty, and
new buildings for laboratories and work
shops have besn more than limited by
men OF wealth and philanthropy, when
the old curriculum has been broadened
till there are us elective courses in the
Liberal Arts college alone taught by re-
representatives. of more than % of the lead
ing universities of Europe and America
when all thase things have happened
In space OF time scarce more than a
twelve month with the humber Of stu
dents constantly Increasing, our atten-
ton is forcibly called to the efficient per
sonality who is at the head OF 1t all.
Three years ago Chancellor Day came to
Syracuse. Among American educators
there has scarcely been such an example
of a great mind countad with great force
and endowed with unresting desire to
work, as is found in Chancellor James
r. Day. He has the broad grasp on
affairs, the power of intellect and the
boldness which enter in to make grea t
leader. He has planned great broad
expansive future for Syracuse Universe
ty and education in Central New York,
and be and host of eager, enthusiastic
friends to higher education, who want
to see the future better than the past are
working to make the University what
it's central position and the educational
needs of the state demand it shall be-
one of tine great educational centers of
the nation. Chancellor Days crganiz-
ing power, his suavity and charm Of man
ner which unite many friends to the
causs, and his self-denying, fiery devo-
tion to the great object make thousands
love him aud call his aim their own.

THE LEGACY PAID.
And Maine w. c. L. U. Own Head
quarters on Free Street.

The Sum of $1,000 Left the Society by
Hon. w. w. Thomas, C6nditionally,
That 1880 be Raised, Was Paid Fri
day, the Conditions Having Been Com
piled With.
The late Hon. ". W. Thomas left a
conditional promise to give to the Maine
Womans Christian Temperance Union
(of which Mrs. l.. NJ. N. Stevens is pres
ident) $1,000. The conditions we're that
this money should be applied toward
paying for the property at 1s0Frse street,
Portland, purchased by the society about
five years ago, for its headquarters and
that the sum necessary for the full pay
ment ts75o0) must be raise prior to May
1st, 1897.
Through the generosity of Portland
people, and the gifts Of two friends In
other parts of the state, the society was
enabled last Friday, April 80, to claim
the amount promised by Mr.. Thomas,
which was promptly paid.
Coming into full possession of this de-
sirable property will enable the oragniza-
tion to greatly extend it's philanthropic

Funeral of Capt. Charles H. Chase.

The funeral of Captain Charles q.
Chase took place yesterday afternoon
from his late residence on franklin
street. There was very large attend
Anca. Prominent Democrats and Repub-
licans, representative men of the Beard
of Trade, the Portland Marine society,
and the members OF the Masonic order,
besides members of the city government,
filed the spacious rooms, and occupied
the stairway and halls.

DR.. Blanchard Of Congress Square
church. After beautiful rendering of
1.-THE Homeland by the church choir,
iir. Blanchard read appropriate passages
of scripture and also Sir Edwin Arnold's
beautiful poem. He who died at Azin. ;"
Then the choir sang 'sHeayen is My
Home.''
Dr. blanchard then gave most i'm
pfessiVe discourse on Immortality.
One should not think of affection alone,
out should feel the JOY that comes from
Ialth ID God. We are never ready to part
with our beloved. We want them to stay
hUtie longer. From the earliest times
all nations have possessed faith in the
Immortality of the soul We join with
Iennyson and Browning in the belief
that 1t is in accordance with reason that
thsre should BIO ii world beyond. 1t is the
will of God and for the best. This belief
in Immortality is one source OF strength
in these times of affection. Another
source is the blessedness of memory. The
speaker then referred to the many ex-
cellent qualities of tho deceased; to his
fearlessness, his standing by his con-
victions, his outspokenness, his loyalty
to his friends, his goodness to the uhfor-
tunats. Those of the different organiza-
tions, said the Doctor, with which he
was affiliated, who are present today,
should be thankful for memory when
they think Of him. rejoice in this man
because he had the courage of his con-
viotions. He believed that all would be
brought to him at last, by the Father.
Let us bless God for all these remen :
ORANGES of his courage, love and benevo-
lence. A great thing is the assurance
that you will meet him again. He wants
you all there. Look up and not down.
Await calmly the summons for you to
meet him and be with him forever.
When the anniversary of his death comes
round think of it as the Gay of transla-
ton, of O birth into the higher life.
Prayer followed, offered by DR..
Blanchard, after which the choir sang
hymn, and then the benediction was pro-
nounoed.
The floral tributes were very beautiful
and numerous. Among them were in.
olnded a superb cross from Portland

W. Jones. representing the port wardens,
