A special from New York says that
Michael F. Dwyer, regardless of the fact
that he was reported TO be dying by several
sensational newspapers, came TO New York
yesterday and put in a busy day attending
to personal business. Mr.. Dwyer began the
day In ignorance of his serious condition
by getting up at daybreak to see his horses
exercise. and II was too late for him to
even pretend to be very IN when he first
received notification that his death was
hourly expected.

Justice Brewer. Address.

In response to a call. Mr.. Justice Brewer
made one of his graceful and happy after
dirner speeches. He said that Yale was
great monopoly, that 1t was a monopoly
of brains, consequently a success. which
was due to the fact that she draws to her
the bravest young men of the country. He
declared that her graduates become fam
Gus in their vocations of life. and that
Yale has record which is not surpassed
by any college in the country. He added
that the environment of Yale is the best
that can be thrown around any young man.
Senator Hawley, the next speaker, made
reference to existing conditions, and
said the eviderces of patriotism which
had been called forth were a just cause OF
pride.
The senator said: There has been a lot
of talk of war and the cool, half-spoken
half-unspoken words of patriotism that
have been heard all over the country are
indeed, pride to America. 1t is magnifi-
cent. At any just demand millions will
jump to the call of duty, and do their duty
as Americans. No just cause will fail to
find ready response among all Americans"
In an entertaining style Mr.. F. ID. Head
spoke OH the subject of Sterilization and
Education

GRAFTON has never known. For many
months our sympathies have gone out to a
people on a neighboring island, who have

tyranny. On top of all this GENES the news
of an appalling disaster. One of the no.
blest ships of our navy has gone down in
Havana harbor, and hundreds of our jack
tars. their sins not confessed, have met
with a terrible fate"
After severely cordemning sensa tional
reports, Mr.. Dalzell said:
Another conspicuous point of which we
are proud is the self-repression and the
calm dignity the American people. as a
whole, have exercised throughout the en-
tire incident. 1t shows that We are capable
of exercising calm justice in all things.
The American people have their eyes fixed
