IN MEMORY OF sEsAroR MORRILL,
His Natal Day Observed at Delaware Co
lege ErIdny Afternoon.


ais Natal Day Observed at Delaware Col
ioge Friday Afternoon.
Newark, April 20. Delaware Col
lege honored the memory OF the late
Senator Morrill, of Vermont yesterday
afternoon. President Harter stated that
it was the intention of the faculty to
have observed April l4th, the natal
day of Mr.. Morrill,, but it had been
found necessary to postpone the OBJ
seryance until yesterday. Ho spoke
briefly of the obligations of the agri-
cultural colleges to Mr.. Morrill,, after
which he introduced DR.. William III.
Purnell, who had been selected to make
an address on the occasion.
DIR. Purnell spoke in part as follows
Senator Morrill,, whose memory we
honor, was an illustrious example of
devoted public servant, honest ard
incorruptible, the earnest, consistent
and successful advocate of the colleges
established to promote agriculture and
the mechanic arts. These institutions
of learning owe their endowments prin-
cipally TO his efforts, and when we
recognize their usefulness in the diff
fusion of knowledge in bringing educa-
tional advantages to many youths who
would have otherwise gone without,
in the increased power for good fur
nished to their students, not u few
Of whom have become teachers and
great majority of whom have become
useful members of society, in the
stimulus given by these colleges to our
public schools, we~should be recreant
to our sense of right not TO remember
our benefactor with gratitude. These
colleges now number g. and there
were in attendance upon them, in 1887,
$50 white male students, and AHA
white female students, who were taught
in the departments Of agriculture and
the mechanic arts by 1850 men and
122 women. But instruction is not con
fined to agriculture and the mechanic
arts, for modern languages, classical
studies and general science are ex-
pressly permitted. The experimental
stations, which have disseminated valu-
able information among the farmers
and greatly Increased tile interest in
agricultural pursuits, grew out of the
endowment of the first Morrill, act OF
| 1862.
Delaware College, since her organi-
zation under these acts Of Congress,
has sent out more than l50 graduates,
and has given instruction to at least
three times that number Of students.
| Therefore, we desire to add leaf to
the laurel wreath that crowns our
benefactor's brow. We must not forget
that this education recognizes the fact,
as all true education must, that there
is a spiritual part to mans being
which must be fitted in life which
now is for the long life that is to
to come. We are sure that the good
Senator contemplated this, and that
it had warm place in his heart.
In conclusion, we may say withTaci-
tus, who wrote the biography of Agri.
cola, whom he summed up his virtues,
that il, as some persons believed, there
is after death a place for good men
among the immortals, and we know
that there is, we have an abiding con.
fidence that Justin s. Morrill, is there,
to enjoy his reward. He rests from his
labors, and his works do live after
him

gentle and did not kick or run and
Mrs. Frederick and the child were
able to get out of harms way without
being trampled or run over.

appeared to realize that something was
wrong. 1t stood motionless awaiting
developments and as soon as Mrs

that the child was not in a position to
receive further injury, she tied the
carriage together as best she could and
succeeded in reaching the city with it,
She went to the livery stable of George
A. Willis, No. 4091a Orange street,
where she told of her misfortune and
Mr.. Willis furnished her with another
