at his battalion of silver forks and discon-
solately removed them in an extended or

row of tropical center pieces glistening
tableware and sparkling wineglasses and
observed the merriment of those listening
to a story from the captain, his face was

elected and initiated
Grand Worthy Tempar Boswell read
his report, showing that there were fiji
teen temples in the state with a totas
membership of $50. During the last six
months there had been noticeable gain
in membership, but there had been a.
considerable falling off earlier in the
year, so that the loss in membership for
the year was seventy-five. Three mem
bers We're lost by death during the year
Grand Recorder William j. Rawlings
of this city made an interesting report
He stated that energetic steps would
be taken during the ensuing year to or
ganize new temples. The report of
Grand Treasurer T. H. Talcott showed
a gratifying state of affairs financially
in the state temple. The advantages OF
an endowment fund were dilated upon.

of Hartford; grand worthy vice tenn
plar, W. c. Sharp of SEYMOUR grand
worthy recorder. w. j. RAWLINGS OF
New Britain; grand worthy treasurer,

port. Several changes were made in the
bylaws. An invitation was extended
to the supreme council of the world to
hold its session in New Haven in the
second week in August, 1900. The new
ly elected officers were installed in the
afternoon by Deputy Most Supreme
Templar w. r. Beckley of Hartford
The thirty-ffrst annual session of the

For years Professor Hadleys courses
have been the most popular in the Yale
! list. During the coming year two hun
| dred and fifty-three seniors and Juniors
will take them.
Rarely does Professor Hadley make
| the remotest reference in his classroom
to his owl work or honors. A notable
exception occurred the day before the
corporation meeting which chose him
for president. A paper had been read to
the senior class by member on THE
Trans Siberian Railway" When he fin
ished, Professor Hadley said: II feel a
personal interest in that railroad. 1t
should show this class that the Car of
Russia is, to some extent, at least, fell
low Yale man. AT any rate, he has been
listening to some Yale teaching" Pro-
fessor Hadley then narrated modestly
how the Car had sent for the Hadley
textbook on railroads, had become in
terested in it, had ordered it translated
into the Russian language and used as a

Professor Hadley enjoys telling joke
on himself Before a recent meeting of
the Connecticut State Teachers assocla-
ton he narrated this story:
"a woman whose sons We're about to
enter Yale was seeking all the informa-
ton she could get about the courses.
After questioning me closely, she asked
me:

which dates back to the Regicides. Had
he been an ordained Congregational
clergyman he would have been the lead
ing candidate for the Yale presidency in
the recent compaign from the very first,
He was, it is said, advised years ago to
take clerical orders with the very idea in
mind of thereby becoming more eligible
for the Yale presidency, if it became
vacant BY declining he showed the

which has always marked his career.

Waterbury, Conn, June 8.-New Ha-

with Waterbury this afternoon, which
resulted in victory for the champions.
The Blues after four innings of ball had
been played, had a substantial lead of
two runs. Ashe, who pitched his first
game of the season, was pitching a
steady game. In the fifth inning Man
ley was relieved by Prentiss. The lat
ter prevented New Haven from again
scoring. On the other hand the cham

in the sixth inning and made the win

T4IE'iS NEW HEAD.

Gossip of President Hadley Which In
| dictates the Character of the Mana
Striking Tribute TO His wife ms n
Helpmnte.
The New Haven correspondent of the
Boston Transcript says. 1t is character
stic Of the new president of Yale that
although liberal to the core, he turns
at the very beginning of his adminstra-
ton, to advisors. His closest friends
are the most evenly balanced of Yales
graduate sons, and among them are
numbered justices Of the supreme
bench, governors, senators and leaders
of the educational world through ut the
country. The fact that President Had
ley listens for advice at this period will
deceive no one who ever met him. He
has never been accused of lacking indie
pendence and neither an mpersonal nor
vacillating policy will mark his adj
ministration. Even before his inaugu-
ration words of no uncertain tone will be
spoken relating to his plans, affecting
directly the destiny of Yale, and, indi-
rectly, that of university education
throughout America
Every Yale president previous to Had
ley has directed the university by COM
bining the functions of an executive
head, a college pastor and an instructor.
One of these functions will be omitted
by Yale's new president He will have
no share in the pastoral work of the col
lege, and it is expected that new col-
lege pastor will be appointed at the
opening Of the next school year. Prssi-
dent Hadley viii still retain most Of his
work in economics and will surround
himself with an able corps Of executive
assistants, thus relieving him of the rou
tine duties of the presidency.
Professor Hadey went through the
public schools of New Haven, the Hop
kins Grammar school and Yale without
once holding any other position in his
class than the head. No end of stories,
some authentic, many otherwise, are
told Of his precocity when a boy. He
learned pages Of Latin and Greek by
ronding them once or twice, and could,
it is said, repeat whole books of the I'll
lad" and "Odyssey." 1t is related that
he was ready to enter Yale when only
fourteen years of age but that the col

young, and he remained at home, taking
private courses in Sanscrlt till old
enough to enter college,
While in Yale Hadley took practically
every scholarship prize In sight. A par
tial list follows: Woolsey and Br,sted
scholarships; Winthrop prize for stu
dent best acquainted with Greek and
Latin Clark astronomical prize; the
Ten Eyck prize for composition and or
atory, and the Townsend prize for Eng
lish. This wide scope of prizes gives
some idea of the variety of his attain
ments When he returned to Yale after
a short course of study in Europe he be-
came tutor in German, and he inter
ested himself in the study of railroads.
He has written twenty-nine volumes,
practically on railroad and tMnsporta-
ton problems and economics.
His latest work, his magnum opus, Is
