General cause for congratulation exists
In the widespread interest in the convoca-

papers inform us that not only are the ma
aged gentlemen we'll represented at the
meetings; the mothers have brought along
their little children that they may absorb
some of the teachings designed for their i'm
Droyement. We have every reason to be-
lieve that the little ones must have been
and entertaining remarks on symbolism,
and that they must have followed the OBJ
servations of Miss Helen Lloyd with juve-
nile satisfaction. We take the liberty of re-
producing one OF Miss Helens symbols as
an incentive to childish appreciation and
glee
And how is life expressed through mathe-
matics? Look at the beginnings of nature s
forms and we find in all seeds a spherical

has summed up the situation exactly. and
we hope that every mother present was i'm

ism in poetry in music, in architecture, in

ton to football has brought out the follow
ing statement by President Mees, of the
Rose Polytechnic, which has led in the in
terstate collegiate field day sports, but has
not taken part in the football championship
series because the faculty has thought the
game occupied too much time. The Poly
has had a football team each year, how
ever. DR.. Mees says: Although no football
enthusiast, / believe the game as laid down
by the rules, is to be commended, as it
tends to good physical development. How
ever, when the circumstances are such as
to breed ruffiansm and the loss of self
control, then it is time to stop. The Poly
technic athletics come directly under the
supervision of the faculty and no athlete
is allowed to enter the game until thor
ough estimate has been made Of his quail
fications. both physical and moral The
faculty must be consulted as to the arrange
ment of the schedule and the games are
never to be allowed to interfere with work.
Football will be sanctioned by the Poly

1t IS Well known among medical men that

TO CLEAN THE RECORD.
Park Board VIII Probably Order Tag
CART Bog Out To-Day.

That $4,000 bog of Mayor Taggart's is to
he dropped from the park system to-day.
The commissioners are about convinced
that the records of the board and the Cir
cult Court are in such shape that the land
can be taken into the park system. AS
the Journal has shown. all the records prove
that condemnation proceedings were or
dered by the board April 16, and assessors
were appointed by the court to fix the value
of the land April 20. When the commits
sioners read the Journal yesterday and had
their attention called to the statements
made by City Attorney Curtis and his
deputy, J. E. Bell, to the effect that the
proceeding in court was an application de
noyo and was intended to begin the whole
thing over again Just the same as if moth
ing had been DONE" they were as much
surprised as they have been by any of the
startling disclosures of the scandal
Mr. Perry will consult with Chairman
Claypool and Mr.. English this morning as
to the advisability of holding a special
meeting to investigate the subject and
find just where they are at" If on in
vestigatien they find that the land is still
included in the system they will direct the
city attorney to file an application in the
Circuit Court instanter asking leave to
amend the application of April 20 by strix-
ing out all reference to Mayor Taggart S
bog. If this is ordered, the city attorney
and mayor will have no option in the matter
and will not care to oppose it in the face
of persistent statements that have been
made to the effect that it was not in the
records at all. The Journal yesterday point
ed out that this course was the only one
that could be pursued TO expurgate from
the records the mayors land.
If the commissioners meet this morning,
as they probably will. they will also con-
slider whether their pretended correction OF
the minutes Saturday was valid. AS was
said yesterday question has been raised
as to the rights of the commissioners to
change their record of April 16 when the
bog was included in the park system, as a
certified copy of it was subsequently trans
mitted TO the Circuit Court by Charles Her
bert Spencer, clerk of the board. AS pointed
out the alleged record of the board must
consist with copies of them in the Circuit
Court. The attorney quoted yesterday said
that the Circuit Court at once acquired
Jurisdiction of the boards records when a
certified copy of them was made to the
court. At any rate the board intends tc
consider this subject very carefully, If not
to-day then after the election. The COM
missioners do not intend TO allow the
records to show. as they now do, that the

At st. Johns Church the pulpit was &C.

of the Society Of Jesus, from Chicago
who is conducting the exercises of the re-
treat for the clergy He took for his text
words from the gospel of st. Matthew tx,

said in part:
There are three illustrious circum-
stances in the life of our divine Lord
which. when studied in connection one with
the other. establish to the satisfaction of
every reasonable mind the institution Of
one of the sacraments of the church. L
mean the institution of the forgiveness of
sins. You know that outside of the Catho-
lie Church there is nothing of the sort, I'M
less among the schismatic churches, which
still retain some fragments of this sacra-
ment of the church, from which they Sc
ceded centuries ago; or is found among
latter-day denominations which feel the
want of such institution and whose
reading OF the Scriptures is no longer done
in a biased frame of mind. They go
through certain formaIities, but without
the divine sanction. which can only come
through the church of God.
These three circumstances are the one
read to you in to-day's gospel, one of which
we read In st. Matthews, and another
which occurred after the resurrection. If
we strictly follow to-day's gospel what do
we find? We find our divine Lord fcrgiv-
ing sins. we find Him working miracles.
And that you may know that He has
power to forgive sins. says the evangelist.

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS.
