PRESIDENT OF YALE.
Prot. Hadley the First Layman to
Hold the Office.
Men Who Have Gone Before Him
Have All Been Congregational
Ministers-His BashfuIness
as Young Student.

1t is an interesting fact that thus far
it has been overlooked that Prof. Arthur
T. Hadley will be the thirteenth presi-
dent of Yale.
In the 200 years Of Yale's existence
just 12 men have presided over the des-
tinies of the college that Eli Yale found
ed in 1901. Whether Prof. Hadley will
have the luck or the misfortune that
tradition gives to the thirteenth man
Is a question that all Yale men are dis
eussing.
Prof. Hadley stands unique among the
presidents of Yale. He is the youngest
man to fill this responsible position, and
he is also the first layman to enter the
office that tradition and history has al
ways bestowed upon Congregational
clergyman.
Hadley is a modern, up-to-date young
man in every sense of the word. He
rides bicycle, plays whist and is an
enthusiast over golf. These areaacs
complishments that are as foreign to
racing.
But there is still another side to Had
ley's character. He is an intellectual
phenomenon, the infant prodigy" of
the faculty of Yale. This better de-
scribes the new president than many
words can. He is the son of great
scholar, and is typical professors
son, from an intellectual point of view.
He was the wonder OF his day in col
lege. He entered Yale when barely 16
years of age, led his class all the way

THE STORM.

Hark! hark! hark!
Hark to the thunder's roari
Hark how the maddened waves
Burst on the rock-girt shore!
Lashed by the furious winds,
Their foaming crests they rear
Rush on with mighty bound,
Start back in shuddering fear.
Hark to the rafting haill
Hark to the driving rain!
The heavens, a blaze of light,
Throb as in quivering pain;
And nature seems to work,
Unchecked, its own wild will,
While man looks on in awe,
And bird and beast are still.
God on the whirlwind rides,
The storm is meath His feet,
He holds in His right hand
The winds, His coursers fleet;
They bear creations Lord
In triumph on His way,
And in their maddest race
His slightest check obey.
The lightning is His glance,
His breath upheaves the sea,
The thunder His dread voice
OF awful majesty;
In natures seeming war
Its Maker walks abroad,
And al its mighty powers
Are servants of our God.

listened to the mournful sob of sup
pressed grief as innumerable funeral
corteges have wended to and from it.
1t has blazed in light and resounded
with boisterous cheers and stirring mu-
sic in campaign times, when all its
passage ways were thronged by eager
people waiting for some great political
chieftan to arrive.
But now it is dark, silent and de-
serted. Its windows are shattered, its
sides are waterstained, scanned and
broken; the paint, blistered and gone.
The cement on the outer walls has fall
len off in great patches, leaving the
bare brick and mortar exposed, re-
minding one of the battered walls of
some besieged castle.
The daily visitor approaches and
gazes curiously at the building, then
places his grip or bundles on the pave
ment and peers through the broken
glass into the dark, deserted reception
room. Sometimes he tries the door,
then recoils from the hollow echoing
sound that disturbs only the accumu-
lated dust upon the floors and walls.
Then intently viewing the picturesque
dilapidation of the scene, he secures
his bundles and his grip once more and
looks enquiringly about. And he then
goes across the way to Stephen Water
house, or to Col William STEELE, and
asks, Where is the B. & o. depot?'
These gentlemen, without thought of
future reward or punishment, have di-
rected thousands of enquiring travellers
to that dream of architectural magni-
ficence across the creek-that looks so
much like prairie lunch joint-the
present B. & o. passenger station.
The citizens who love these old land
marks, particularly this one, which
adds such fantastic beauty to South
street, are startled by the report that
the railway company intends to move
this unique edifice and build instead a
modern depot. This rumor startled
our fathers, as it startles us, and we
can only hope that it is not true. What
would the antiquarian and a-cheologist
think were he to be told that the Pyr-
amids of Egypt were to be removed
| and new ones built? What then must
be the feeling Of the citizen when he
is told that this palaeozoic structure l.;
to be removed and a new one erected
in its place?
A few days ago there fluttered from
the desolate door way scrap of paper
it was fastened there by campaign
button. 1t bore the following lines:
Stand on, thou dismal weather beaten
structure, stand!
Full many blustery year has bat
tered thee in vain,
And from the present writing it would
That many a stormy year will beat
on thee again.
Swift moving Progress has improved
all things,
But thou, a relic Of the the past will
eer remain
When the millennium dawns-when
Gabriel blows,
Forlorn old chap, you'll be here just
| the same.
An expression, no doubt, from some
wandering poet who had mixed his
schedule and missed his Pullman.

The Admit Already Shows Great In
pfovement a Bis condition.
New York. May 26- IA dispatch to
the Journal from Hong Kong says:
Admiral Dewey shows great improve
ment already. Installed at the Peak
Hotel, with lofty windows that catch
every mouthful of wind from the sea,
he is losing the air of languor that he
wore when he landed from his blistered
cruiser. 1t was rest that he needed
rest and cooler air. He is getting both.
Society at the Peak is well bred There
are no disturbing factors there. It is
here that the English officers and their
wives, the government officials, the
rich merchants and distinguished tray-
elers take refuge from the heat and
noise of the town. They all feel deep
interest in the hero of Manila bay, but
they respect his desire for quiet.
He has become one of themselves
already. With the ease of polished
man of the world he has dropped into
his place in the little community that
really resembles house party at an
English country residence. Strangers
to that community cannot intrude upon
him, however. The government detec-
tives see to that. So do the detectives
hired by Consul General Wildman. So
do the swarms of Chinese servants.
If the Filipino junta ever meant
more than bluster by its hints of as
sassination, it has been thoroughly
cowed by the British police Howard
Bray, the English confederate of the
insurgents, has been suddenly struck
dumb. So has his American fellow
schemers. These people received
brusque warnings from the authorities
that if they did not behave themselves
they would be treated to a dizzy sur
prise. The Filipinos themselves were
similarly cautioned and are under close
surveillance.
At dusk to-day, when the sea breeze
set in. Admiral Dewey took a walk
along the bluff with Consul General
Wildman and they remained out for
half an hour. The visitors bearing
was alert and his voice vigorous.
