UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.
Large Gathering at the Quarterly
Convocation Exercises.


CHICAGO, April 1-Studebaker Hall
was filed to the doors tonight, the oc-
casion being the quarterly cOnvocation
exercises of the University of Chicago
The address of the evening was deliv-
cred by Rev. Henry Van Dyke, D. D.,
of New York, his subject being Dem
ocracy and Culture The speaker was
frequently interrupted by outbursts of
applause.
In the course of his remarks Rev.
Van Dyke said:
"A democracy falling into the hands
of those who do not understand what it
means nor at heart believe in it,
swiftly transforms itself into tyranny
or into an anarchy. A republic must
have moral and intellectual foundations.
The cornerstone of democracy is cul-
ture. Culture must begin and continue
with a fine disregard of pecuniary re-
turns
What we need at present is not new
colleges with power of comforting de-
grees, but more power in the existing
colleges to make men. To this end, let
them have a richer endowment, a fuller
equipment, but, above all, a revival of
the creative IDEAL And let everything
be done to bring together the High
School, the Normal School, the gram
mar school, the primary school and the
little red schoolhouse into the harmony
of this ideal The university shall stand
in the place of honor, if you will, but
only because it bears the clearest and
most steadfast witness that the end of
culture is to create men who can see
clearly, imagine nobly and think stead
lily. The salvation of democracy lies in
the possession of such men,.

AN OFFERING TO MISS GOULD.
A Handsome Gift From Soldiers
and Sailors of the War.

NEW YORK, April There will be
presented to Miss Helen NJ. Gould next
week a handsome gift in the form of
an album containing the autographs of
5000 soldiers and sailors Of the United
States who fought in the recent war
with Spain.
The idea of getting up an offering of
this kind for Miss Gould originated
while the army and navy We're in and
about Cuba, but the credit for obtain
ing the signatures through personal ef-
forts is chiefly due to James S. Fair
man, who was int the hospital service of
the army during the war.
The album is fourteen inches long,
eleven inches wide and three and al half
inches thick. The binding is of crush
ed levant The front pages are hand
hand fooled decorations. The first page.
which bears the United States flag and
that of the Red Cross Society, has the
following inscriptions:
Army, Navy and Volunteer Forces
of the United States of America. Tes-
timonial to Miss Helen Miller Gould,
New York City, N. W
Particular interest is attached to the
collection of autographs because of the
rough appearance of many of them.
The greater number We're written in
camp or in hospital, and they show
that the writer's were in many cases
unable to obtain anything but the most
ordinary writing materials. The most
prominent autographs are those of Ma
jor General Joseph Wheeler and Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt

Guilty she reached her Brooklyn slip.
The tug was uninjured.
The accident occurred during the rush
hours, when the ferry boat was crowd

caused by misunderstanding of sig

in the stream. The Argus crashed into
the ferry boat, penetrating the side of
the Pierrepont five feet forward of the
entrance to the women's cabin There
was almost a panic aboard, and in the
rush two girls and a woman were
thrown into. the water. The woman
was rescued, but nothing has been seen
of the girls, who We're unknown.
Those injured were mostly women,
and they were struck by the broken
timbers near the women's cabin Mrs.
Hannah Commit was severely injured
about the back. Mrs. Anna Reilly re-

her right leg was crushed Mrs. Mary
Meyers had her hand crushed and re-
ceived internal injuries Antonio Au-

TO HELP THE FINNS.
Agitation Against the Ukase Re-
Gently Issued by the Gar.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Finnish
American Central Committee met at
the office of the "Siyrtolainen," the Fin
nish local newspaper, in Brooklyn. in
order to discuss further measures and
report progress in the agitation in this
country directed against the Cars re-
cent decree to destroy Finnish auton-
omy and national existence. The Chair
man read a letter from the Firms of
Calumet, Mich, giving details of the
organization OF a Finnish committee.
consisting mainly of lawyers, doctors
and professors of Finnish birth. This
committee reported the unanimous deci-
sion to cooperate heartily with the Cen
trail Committee of New York, and an
nounced the formation of committees
of Finlanders throughout the Middle
Western section of the United States
The meeting, although convened at
single days notice only, was attended
by several hundred Finnish Americans.
and collection of over 800 was taken
toward preliminary expenses.
Further news was received from
South Ashburnham, Mass, where all
the Firms, twenty-three in number, had
signed petition which is being circu-
lated throughout the State A list for
signatures was asked for from Browns
vile, N. Y.
The Central Committee determined to
send at once lists with a hearing in
Finnish, Swedish and English. all
through this country and Canada, for
additional signatures to the petition.
which is to be taken to Washington.
Advices have just been received hv
the committee from Finland with sew
eral interesting items of news AS
showing how the hand of Russian per-
secution is already being felt, it is
stated that the Russian General.
Bobrikoff, has compelled the Finnish
Senate to send orders to all Ministers
throughout Finland forbidding them to
crlt1clse the Cars recent ukase. Rus
sian secret service agents have become
active throughout the country. and
nave been promising farm hands that
as soon as Finnish law has been re-
placed by the Russian they shall have
all the land they want, which, the Firms
say, means theft and spoliation of the
peasant land proprietors, who prac-
tlcally own most of the arabic land of
the country. This measure, if carried
out, these advices say, would simply
result in the absolute ruin of all agri-
cultural enterprise
The committee received information
that when the Governor General re-
quested his Finnish Adjutant Captain
! Toppelius, to go around among the peo-
pie of Helsingfors and vicinity in order
to probe Finnish feeling on the subject
of the Cars recent decree, the latter
answered: II am hated enough merely
for being in your service, and If I am
further required to go around spying
on my own people, refuse absolutely"

Samuel Wertheim killed himself in a
shocking manner to-day in the office
of G. NJ. PolitZer
Wertheim, accompanied by his
nephew, had been staying at Summer
vile for his health. He suffered from
insomnia His nephew grew alarmed
at symptoms developed yesterday, and
started to take the sick man home.
They came here to-day on their way
North and called at Mr.. Politzer's office
Wertheim walked up to Mr.. Politzer
and said: Gus, l am going mad"
With that he began beating himself
on the head with a paper weight. I'm
able to restrain him, young Wertheim,
his nephew and Politzer rushed out to
get help. The frenZied man then broke
out pane of glass in one of the office
windows and beat himself on the face
and neck on the jagged edges that re-
manned in the sash. He dashed his
head through another pane, and sawed
his neck on the Jagged glass till he fell

CHICAGO POLITICS.
Both Republicans and Democrats
Confident of Success

CHICAGO, April 1.-The municipal
campaign was practically closed to-
night, both parties holding large meet
ings in eleven parts of the city. Both
the Democrats and Republicans claim
to be confident of the outcome, but at
the same time the practical men in both
parties admit that it is exceedingly diff
ficult to forecast correctly the result of
the vote on Tuesday.
The unknown quantity in the cam
paign is the vote to be polled by the
Independent Democratic candidate, ex-
Governor Altgeld. The Republicans
admit that heavy vote for Altgeld is
their main chance for election, by split
ting the Democratic vote.
In the opinion of most men not di-
rectly interested in the actual work
of the campaign, Harrison will be elect
ed, although the size of the Altgeld
vote is admitted to be a conundrum
Altgeld men claim that the Ex-Governor
will be elected, but they are: chary with
their figures. The next City Council
will undoubtedly be Democratic.

TO-DAY is EASTER SUNDAY,
SONG AND PRAISE WILL BE
HEARD IN THE CHURCHES.
Christ's Resurrection From the
Tomb Will be Celebrated by
His Worshipers.

To-day marks the end of the Lenten
| season and of the period Of mourning
for Christ's descent to the tomb. 1t
marks His resurrection and reappear-
ance after the crucifixion. and Easter
Sunday has, therefore, for ages been the
synonym for gladness and rejoicing.
This morning, among all civilized ma
tions, the Easter carols, will ascend and
people will throng the churches to offer
up praise for the atonement perfected.
1t marks in a measure the transition
from the cold and gloom of winters
reign to the balmy air of spring. and
Nature seems to join with mankind in
rejoicing. If the promise of the night
is fulfilled, cloudless sky will greet
the Worshlpers as they wend their way
TO Gods temples and will harmonize
with the feelings that possess them.
Easter services will be held in all the
churches in the city, for time has
brought about great changes in the past
nifty years, and the Roman Catholic
and Protestant Episcopal Churches are
no longer the only ones that put on the
garb OF repoicing in the resurrection of
the Son OF God, and special Easter
services are held by almost all denomi-
nations.
To-day not only will pastors preach
on the resurrection, but the various
choirs of the city churches will render
music appropriate to the occasion, the
most elaborate program being at st.
Paufs Episcopal Church and at the
Catholic Cathedral. The programs in
all the churches are more elaborate than
ever before in this city, and the fine
weather will doubtless bring out large
congregations to all places of worship

Mrs Mayer was found dead on the floor

iff to await the result of the Coroner's
jury.

LONDON, April 1.-The first section

cannot boast of any remarkable
achievement. The chief event was the
reading Of the London local govern

ernment has no reason for self-congrat-
ulation, especially as its own support

The bill of the Secretary of State for

obtains in France regarding the inf1u-

are contemptuously looked down upon,
