ADJUSTMENTS.


Mr.. and Mrs. Byron have bSen coming to
the Park for a good many years and they
have a large following here in Indianapolis.
1.-THE Ups and Downs of Life" which was
their opening bill at the matinee yesterday,
has been the principal play in their roper
toire for the past three seasons. 1t has nu-
merous sensational episodes, the most excit-
ing of which. possibly, is the fire scene
which closes the third act and which is
exceedingly realistic. The comedy scenes
between Mrs. Kate Byron, as Jane Judkins,
and Fred Warren, as Lord Alfonso Smith,
never fail to entertain the audiences. Last
night the Byrons revived Across the Cont
nent," which is probably the most success
full play they ever had. The first three acts
of this drama take place in New York, and
then the scene shifts to the Rocky noun
tainS, where Mr.. Byron, as Joe Ferris, fig
ures in the great telegraph scene and man
ages to connect up the broken wires and get
a trainload of troops on the spot in time
to prevent a massacre by Indians. The By
rons always carry a capable company and
stage their productions we'll. The revival

be repeated and this play will also be the

Grant was of that type OF politicians that
everybody respected. He held his tongue
under trying circumstances and never rallied
out in public places when matters did not
go well with him. He stuck close TO his
friends and the way the memorable 906
stuck to him is a marvellous example of
that quality in the great generals nature
that made men love him. Probably no man

There were two, at least, who were
the sons of men who had graduated
since the reorganization, and there were
scores of those who had fought their
way by privation and self-sacrifice from
field and shop to this high opportunity.
For one hour Dr. Alderman spoke TO
them ON their duty to the University
and the University's duty to them. He
reminded them that they were entering
upon fellowship with the great men
tai and spiritual forces of their State.
They were about to take advantage of
opportunities which only one young man
in five Thousand enjoyed. 1t was as
if the angel of Good Fortune, finding
five thousand boys uI9on a plain, had
selected one and brought the fortunate
youth here where he might find out
the truth, and learn the best that
has been thought and said in the past.
1t was pointed out that while only one
out of every ten thousand ncn-educated
men ever reached eminence. one olu5
of every forty educated men rose TO
power and usefulness. Thus the chance
of great service To them was as one
to two hundred and fifty.
A University was declared to be the
place where men came to learn those
things that fitted them for living honor
able Christian lives, for building happy
homes, for rendering unselfish service,
for winning their bread with skill and
success for bcQueathing to their pos
terity honored names. The University
is both democracy and an aristocracy.

1t is democracy of opportunity where
men may rise by the might of grit and
courage and merit, and an aristocracy of
character, capacity and culture. The
President then discussed the inner life
of the institution in it's homelier phases,
conduct, care Of the body, diet, and
care of the room, organization and stu
dent activities. He deplored the ten
dency, too common in our life, of in
discriminate praise of mediocre work,
and welcomed the day when there would
be developed an ideal of rare and gen
uine excellence, such excellence as the
Greek poet declared dwelt only among
the inaccessible rocks, and could be
reached by wearing out ones heart in
toll and striving.
The loyalty of University men every
where and their unfailing devotion to
Alma Mater, was touched upon in elo-
quent language. One great question was
put before the student body: What are
you here to do? What definite purpose
have you in mind? 1t was urged that
that question be settled and that they
press forward towards some purpose
with the grim earnestness that their
fathers had displayed, whether fighting
smoke and flash of battle, or plucklng
prosperity and victory from ruined for
tunes and overwhelming defeat.
Finally the President reminded them
that they were entering upon their Uni
versity careers in the last year of the
greatest century since the Renaissance,
Il century whose motto Mr.. Gladstone
had declared to be ''Unhand Me" be-
- n, civ, ,lyl o.g frTrN

which had so exalted the dignity of the

of the great school are in full play.

South, and the debating teams to be
sent to Georgia and Tennessee will soon
undertake their tasks.
Two hundred and fifteen new students
have entered in all departments, and
the most noteworthy thing about them
is their excellent preparation, which is
attributed first to the splendid work
of the preparatory schools, and secondly
to the high standard required by the
University.

Rev. ID. G. Phillips, ID. D., of Louis
vile, Ga, one of the most learned and
eloquent of all ministers of the Assoc
ciated Reformed Presbyterian church,
died last week in his eighty-third year.
He was educated at Due West in the
early forties with money loaned by a
Colonel Williams Johnston, of Dallas
county, Ala, who took note from the
young man for the amount expended,
intending that he should be paid when
the young man earned the money; but
Colonel Johnston, hearing the young
minister preach at a meeting of the syn
cd held in Alabama a few weeks after
his licensure, was so pleased that he
gave the note back TO the young man,
telling him that his sermon had fully
paid the debt, and that he owed him
nothing more.

AN IMMENSE CROWD.

The cities and towns within 100
miles of Gotham will empty large
portion of their people into the metropo-
lis by day excursions, while from great
or distances win come thousands OF
others Even in the far West Dewey
clubs are being formed. These clubs
are made up of people who are bound
to be in New York when Dewey gets
there. Agents are sent ahead to arrange
for accommodations, and special trains
are to be chartered.
The New Workers think the big crowd
can be accommodated somehow or 9TH
err. During the Columbian celebration
of several years ago New York took care
of at least 100000 visitors, and since
then her facilities have been greatly in
creased.
During the Coiumaian celebration
the New York hotel men worked to-
gether and handled the emergency with
out difficulty. Weeks before the event
they had. through advertisements, com
piled a list of householders in the vicin-
tiles close to the various hotels who
wished to rent rooms without board,
and they communicated with these
householders.
Then. to save hotel clerks tho hether
of looking after outside details, they
opened central bureau in Union
Square, where persons crowded our OF
the hotels were sent and quarters Sc
lected for them according to til cir IDEAS
Of economy and convenience.
The same plan is to be carried aut at
the Dewey celebration. 1t is tie orin-
ion of James II. Breslin that If 1000 :
900 persons have to- remain in New
York overnight during the Dewey fes-
tivities New York can take care of
them. There would necessarily be q
good deal of doubling up but Mr..
Breslia thinks the city hotels, re-en-
forced by apartment houses and board
ing houses that would be temporarily
pressed into service under hotel general
ship, could handle such multitude.
1t must be remembered that every
day in the year 100000 people arrive in
and leave New York without creating
ruffe on the surface of things
But the visitor to Gotham must ex-
pect to be somewhat crowded on the
Dewey day. He must not look for
elbow room on the streets and must be
prepared to hang on to cable cars by
his eyelids. He win see sights worth
looking at, however, and when he finds
himself in the center of acres of densely
packed humanity two blocks from the
line of parade he may console himself
by the reflection that he is doing his
Fart toward making Dewey-s welcome
home the most impressive spectacle with
which the nation has ever honored one
of its citizens.
