well hnOWn flarlLOfu ClClZen ana Phl- lanthropist.
 Hartford, June 3.--Rodney Dennis, one of the best known citizens of Hart ford, who died late last night at his home on Washington street. suffered a severe attack of the grip some weeks ago and had been unable to rally from it, but his death was sudden and unex- pected.
 MT Dennis was born in Topsfeld, Mass, January IA, 1926, the son of Rev. Rodney Cove and Mary (Parker) Dennis. He traced his lineage back to the early settlers of New England, his first immigrant ancestor being Thomas Dennis a soldier in King Philips war. His father was Rev. Rodney Cove Dennis, a graduate of Bowdoin and An dover, who preached In Topsfield and later in Somers, this state, who was universally regarded as man of high principle and sterling character.
 MT. Dennis came to Hartford at the age of sixteen years. He first served an apprenticeship in the grocery trade and then established the house of Dennis x Ives at the age of twenty-one After a few years his partner fell sick, and he himself assumed all the obligations, paying them all, long after they were outlawed.
 From Hartford MT. Dennis went to Augusta, Ga., where he entered the firm q, XNi1nny After two years in this employ he came north and after two years in Albany, N. Y., he returned to Hartford, where he had since lived.
 In 1S42 in connection with Father Hawley, he founded the Morgan Street Mission school which was the first or ganization of the kind designed for the care of the poor established in the state For twelve years he was superintendent and teacher in this school, giving Ii that care which has since resulted in great good to the community.
 MT. Dennis had been the moving fac tor in the Connecticut Humane society, being one of the corporators and presl- dent of the society since it's organlza- tion, in 1880 He was president of the Hartford
  Charitable society vice president of the American Humane society ond the | Young Mems Christian association.
 He was chairman of the board Of managers of the Hartford Rtreat for | the Insane, trustee of the Connecticut ! School for Girls, trustee for the Society for Savings and chairman Of an important committee of the Ameri- can Missionary association. Of MT. | Dennis loyal and magnanimous nature | much must be said later. At present 1t is sufficient to say that in moral strength. loyalty, pure character and all that goes to make up the true man he was an example to all in the communi- y,
 MT. Dennis married in this city, in 1854, Miss Clarissa Strong, who died some years ago, They had five children two sons and three daughters

PRESIDENT DWIGHT SPOKE.
Addressed the Students Last Evening
 i, Dwight Hall

Addressed the Students Last Evening
 in Dwight Hall
 President Dwight made his last ad- dress before the under classes of Yale university at the religious meeting in Dwight hall last evening. The knowl- edge that it was to be his last served to draw an unusually large attendance at the meeting and his every word was listened to with deep interest.
 President Dwight did not, however, allude to the fact of it's being one of his last addresses in his present capacl- tv as head of Yale, but confined himself entirely to a short address upon the work of Christ and his disciples. His words although few, were straight from the heart, and were taken as sort of last personal appeal to them selves by many of the young men pres ent. At the close the speaker was ap- plauded loudly for quite space of time.

He was seen by Alderman Chillingworth, who was park commis- sioner at the time Edgewood park was first being developed, and who has al- ways taken a great interest in the park. The arrest was made on a complaint by MT. ChiIlingworth. MT. Burwell was much surprised at his arrest and said that he had supposed that he was outside the park precincts where he was picking bunch of flowers to take home.

A Wedding at Glencoe.

The marriage of Miss Elizabeth A.
Leonard to Andrew D. Ryan took place
at the Church of St. George,
Glencoe, Minn., last Wednesday
at 10 o'clock. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Father
Malloy. Immediately after solemn
nuptial mass was said, Rev. Father NAL
10y being celebrant, Rev. Father Pax,
deacon; and Rev. Father Rhatigan, sub
Deacon, The church was crowded with
friends and acquaintances of both par
ties. The bride was attired in white
French organdie over silk and trimmed
with Valenciennes lace, and wore a tulle
veil and carried brides roses. She was
given away by her brother, F. T. Leon
ard, of Minneapolis. Miss Mae Quinn
of Minneapolis was maid of honor and
wore organdie over blue and carried
pink roses. The bridesmaids were Miss
Margaret Blake of Glencoe and Miss
Lucy Ryan of Sumter. They were
dressed in white MULE and carried car
nations. The little flowers were Filth
Henry and Violet Cornee, while Mas
ter John Kasper acted as page and car
ried white satin pillow. Steven Ryan
(brother of the groom) was best man,
with Chas. I..Welsh and Clements Violet
taking the part as ushers. After the
ceremony reception was held at the
residence of Rev. Father Malloy, to
which large number of the immediate
relatives and friends were invited. The
happy couple left on the afternoon train
for the east, being escorted to the depot
by a crowd of friends, who persisted
in showering them with rice and other
cereals" and wishing them a happy
journey down the walks of life. Upon
their return they will take up their resi-
dence in the pretty home that is await
ing them in this village.

full.
Once in johannesburg there was "A
elected board of health, which was be-
coming daily more powerful. The men,
bers were mostly English, among them
being a Mr.. Holt, who was ultra-Eng-
lish in his views. This board was the
only hope of the British element for Sc
curing control of Johannesburg.
In November, 1894, President Kruger
issued an edict that only the Boer LAM
guage could be used at the meetings OF
the health board, and only those who
could speak the language were qualified
to be its members.
The English fumed, but there was
nothing to do but resign. The Boer
language is as hard to learn as the
Chinese.
In November, 1894, l was President
Kruger's guest when he drove home the
last spike in the Delagoa Bay railway,
which connects Pretoria with Delagoa
Bay.
1t was an inspiring scene when the
presidential train arrived at Bronkhorst
Spruit. AS the old president stepped
from his special car he was greeted by
hundreds of Boer farmers. In the dis
tance could be seen the three grouped
graves of the rearguard of the British
Ninety regiment.
In few words Kruger exhorted the
Beers to stand by their country; never
to give it up to a foreign foe. AS he
made this appeal he turned his eyes
toward the last resting place of the
British soldiers.
He is decidedly partial to Americans
and has not forgotten the time when a
handful OF Americans saved him from a
British mob. This took place in 18o3
when Sir Henry Loeb, the governor OF
Cape Colony and high commissioner of
Africa, went to Pretoria to confer with
Kruger concerning the command to
British subjects to carry arms in the
Boer army.
The Englishmen in Johannesburg, ex-
cited over Locll's visit, went to Pretoria
in special trains. When Loeb arrived
they took the horses out of his carriage
and drew him in triumph to the capitol
Some overexcited ones took the horses
out of President Kruger's carriage and
started to mob him.
In an instant the old president was
surrounded by twenty Americans with
drawn revolvers. They threatened to
shoot the first man that attempted to
lay hands on Kruger. He has never
forgotten that kinoness.
Before 1 left Pretoria, President Kru-
ger said to me through his secretary:
"When you go home to the United
States tell the people there for me that
there is small nation here, loving their
country and their liberty, that idolizes
the American flag and the free institu-
tions OF the country.
May the united StateS ever prosper
and remain true to the principles of her
forefathers, is my earnest wish.
ut would please me very much if a
treaty could be made between the
United States and the Transvaal. Could
I favor American commerce l would do
SO, and I shall try all in my power to
grant some concessions"
The voice of the aged president quiv-
cred as he spoke and his eyes were
moist. He was certainly deeply moved.
1t is no wonder that the old Beers
love their president His character is
pure; he is gentle as babe, but firm
as rock, and very lion when his
country is in danger.

void OF learning. What education he has
was hard to secure. Yet he has baffled
men of learning by his sagacity. His
knowledge of human nature is wonder
