Founders Day Celebrated Under Better
Auspices Than Year Ago.

South Hadley, November 18.-Today
was founders day at Mt. Holyoke college.
The contrast between today and the cele-
bration of founders day year ago could
scarcely be greater. Then the guests and
students came through pouring rain to
the Congregational church where the
disastrous fire was related anew and the
corner stone OF Mary Brigham hall was
laid by proxy, the rain preventing the
audience from going to the building.
Now, almost as II by magic, six beautiful
buildings have arisen, surrounded by well
arranged walks and lawns.
Many alumnae and friends came from
long distances to attend this. the sixtieth
anniversary, and rejoice together over the
joyful present and hopeful future. The
music was furnished by the college choral
oluD and selected choir.
The opening anthem, "Omnipotence, -
by Schubert, was renderedEby the choral
club with solo part by Miss Roeth, '9S.
Scripture reading and prayer by Rev. A.
w. Hazen of Middleton. was followed by
the address of welcome by President
Elizabeth Storrs Mead.
Rev. JudsoD Smith then delivered the
memorial address and dedicated Mary
Lyons hall.
The memorial anthem by the choir was
from S. P. Tuokerman. Mrs. Helen NJ.
Gulliver, graduate in 1857 teacher from
1857 to 1867 and principal until 1872, gave
the dedicatory address of Stafford and
Porter halls. E. S. Morris of Munroe was
next introduced and spoke of his personal
contact with Deacon Porter.
A communication was then read from
Queen Viotoris's secretary in reply to a
greeting sent her by the trustees on her
diamond anniversary last June The
communication came through the Ameri.
can Ambassador, Henry White, and state |
that the Queen was much touched by the
sentiment there expressed.
Miss A. M. Hunt, graduate of 'S6, gave
the dedicatory address for DR.. Pearson,
the donor of Pearson's hall. DIR. Pearson
has recently presented this building to
the alumnae association of the North.
west.
Miss Dixon. graduate of 80 and
librarian of the university Of Chicago,
spoke in behalf of the alnmnae which she
represents.
THE last address, the dedication of j.
d. Rockefeller hall was by Rev. f God
speed of Springfield.
DR.. Hudson Smith read statement
that the $3.50, 900 endowment fund which
was being raised was completed within
SS5, 600 and that the alumnae hoped to
have that amount raised by January

MANCHESTER pRoHIBITIoNIsTs.

Manchester, N. H., November 49, The
convention OF the Prohibition party of
New Hampshire, called for the purpose of
organizing for an aggressive campaign of
education, was brought to close this
evening with public gathering, which
was addressed by Volney B. Cushing of
Bangor, Maine.
Mr.. Gushing said that the country is
in the clutches of triumvirate, the
liquor seller, the monopolist and the
venal polil ician, which will bring it to
ruin unless crushed. He said the prohibi-
tion party is the onlyEmeans of doing this,
arraigning the old line parties in strong
terms. In dealing with bossism, Mr.
Gushing paid his respects to Senators
Quay and Platt, claiming that the legis-
latures of New York and Pennsylvania
were owned body and soul by these two
men.

Washington. November Ex-senator
William E. Chandler of New Hampshire
in an interview today regarding legisla-
tion at the coming session of Congress,
said:
Senator Lodge proposes pushing the
measure looking to the restriction OF I'M
migration and of demanding it's passage
without delay. Bills proposing to bar
undesirable foreign elements from entry
into this country are now pending in
both the houses and and the Senate and
there is no doubt that the two houses will
be able to agree on bill. The House
measure lays restrictions on what are
called birds Of passage" but the Senate
Dill does not. The class referred to is
that which lives along the northern and
southern border lines of the country and
embraces Mexican and Canadians who
work daily in the United States, but live
in their native country. This part of the
Dill, In my Judgment, eventually will be
omitted and the Senate bill which ap-
plies to immigrants from European and
oriental countries passed.
Some action 1 believe, will be taken
looking to the relief of the Cuban insur-
gents. OF course the Republican policy
will largely depend upon the President 8
message; but in my opinion he will leave
the entire matter to the Judgment of
Congress.
The prospects for the ratification of
the Hawaiian treaty are excellent. The
Republicans will stand by 1T to a unit
and many Democrats will do likewise. I
think the necessary two-third vote will
be secured.
a. As to financial legislation, especially
to revision of the banking laws, can
not see how any such legislation can be
passed.

MRS. WALKUP's HUSBAND.
VINO Was Bridegroom in Famous Mar
riage a Mystery.

Chicago, November 1s.-Statements
made by Tom Riley, the Milwaukee
naokman, who drove Mrs. WaIkup to
r'ev. j. P. Roberts to be married on the
morning of September "a, tends to
strengthen the claims of Ketcham's rela-
1iVes that he was not the groom on that
occasion. According to Riley's story,
which is corroborated by two women, the
woman with the dark hair married a
man much shorter than she is. Riley
today described the groom as little
1eilow foot shorter than the woman.
Hiss Mlersch, who witnessed the oere-
lnony declared that the man was much
shorter than the woman. All agree that
the principal in the secret nuptials was
really very sick man. His face was
thln drawn and haggard. Keller looks
well and healthy. Further, from all
available information the butler remained
behind ut the Plankinton house during
ene ceremony. 1t was not until all was
over and the couple had been driven to
the depot that he left the hotel. He settled
the bifl for "a. B. Young, wife and ser
want, Boston," as the trio appeared upon
the register. But whoever was the groom,
ne was apparently completely and wholly
IN the power of the woman. The evidence
OF Riley as to Ketcham's actions, if 1t
were him, furnish all the elements for
s1ory OF hypnot1sm. The man seemed
dazed and oblivious to everything
Friends of the dead club man have little
hope Of being able to prove that Keller OF
any other man took the place of Ketcham
IN Jhe marriage ceremony. Accoarding
to Attorney Purcell the main contention
will be that Mr.. Ketcham was of unsound
mind.

CREDITORS DIFFER.
swanton, Jameson e. Co. Want to Continue
Business.

Bath, November 1s.-The adjourned
meeting Of the creditors Of Swanton,
Jameson & Co. was held in Cotillion hall
this forenoon. About 40 creditors were
present, several among them being from
out of town.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to take the various matters not
settled under consideration, advised that
the assignee be given authority to close
up the affairs of the company by selling
the property both real and personal in
such manner as they deemed expedient.
The report of this committee, composed
of L. W. Hyde. CIV. Larrabee and G.
v. Minot. was not accepted.
A proposition was made by J. W. Wake
field for the members of the firm of
Swanton, Jameson & Co., that they
might be given permission by the credi-
tors to continue the business, and make
payments from time to time of certain
per cent to be decided upon later.
There was quite difference of opinion
as to the advisability of such a course.
The impression seemed to be prevalent
at the meeting that the percentage to be
offered by the old firm would be in the
neighborhood of 40 per cent. Some of the
biggest creditors believe that larger per-
centage could be realized.
A committee consisting of G. V .Minott,
d. I. Percy and James S. Lowell was
chosen to see what percentage might be
realized by compromise or by the best
disposition possible of the property. The
meeting was adjourned subject to the call
of the assignees.
