French Ambassador Tells Of Part
His Country Took in Sc
curing Peace.

Cambridge, Mass, June 29.-The
browning event of Harvard's commence
Nent was the alumni dinner, which took
place in Memorial hall after the gradua-
ton exercises yesterday. The guests in
cluded President Eliot, Ambassador
Jules Cambon, Alexander Agassiz, Gen.
Admiral w. L. Sampson.
President Eliot opened the speech max
ing by reporting gifts of $1,25O,OOO to
the college during the year. Gov. VOL
colt followed in brief address and Am
basSador CambOn was introduced.
The French ambassador, M. Cambon,
spoke in French and took occasion to re-
fer to the part he had taken in restoring
peace between the United States and
Spain, and to thank Harvard for con-
ferring on him the degree of LII. D.
He said:
Il feel unable to express to you how
deeply | appreciate the honor Harvard
university has done me by comforting
upon me the dignity of doctor of laws.
L am proud to belong hereafter to your
university, the oldest in America, and l
am touched when 1 realize that the
thought which prompted the bestowal Of
this honor upon me, possibly had in view a
higher aim than any personal to me.
cannot forget that very long time ago
one Of my predecessors, the Marquis de la
Luzerne, who, in 1871, represented in
this country King Louis XVI, was also
made by Harvard an honorary doctor of
laws, At that time the United States
had hardly emerged from the heroic
struggle which insured your independ-
ence. France had then lent you her
assistance, and your university inscribed
the name of her representative among
those of your honored ones. That was
over a century ago.
Last year Providence designated
France to take the hand Of your adver-
sary of yesterday. to place it into yours
and to clasp both IN ner own. I was the
chosen instrument Of the humanitarian
idea which inspired this act By these
feelings alone l was guided Allow me
to thank you for the personal honor you
have shown me, as you did in early days
to Marquis De La Luzerne, because you
thereby testify once more to the tradi-
tional friendship of our two nations
''As for myself, whose profession brings
me in daily contact with the realities of
public life, it is a rare good fortune to
find myself in this atmosphere of learn
ing and culture. | am a son of the Uni
versity Of Paris, son of that glorious
seat Of learning, the Sarbonne. There
it was that Dante, in the Middle ages,
leaving Florence, came to pursue his
studies. In those days no frontiers cir
cumscribed the domain of art and sci
ence. And may we not hope that my
presence at this distinguished gathering
suggests that there continues to exist
the same untrammeled spirit which
makes the world of art and letters some
thing more than the heritage of any one
country"
Admiral Sampson and Gen. Wood,
who talked on war topics, informally,
also spoke.

NAVAL UNIFORMS.
Gallant Dewey will Have to Make
Some Slight Changes,

Washington D. c., June 29.-The new
regulations prescribing the uniforms of
naval officers have been issued. Few ma
terial changes are made in the existing
dress, but for the first time in many
years provision has had to be made for
distinguishing the admiral from other flag
officers, and while Admiral Dewey's
modesty will not be shocked by a revival
of the gorgeous raiment of the officer of
that grade, he will be conspicuous enough
to satisfy most of his admirers. He will
not need to make many alterations in the
eight costumes he must wear on various
occasions, but his epaulets, sleeve orna-
ments, collar devices and cooked hat will
have to be specially manufa ctured be-
fore he passes Gibraltar, for the regula-
tons, which We're approved May s, go
into effect practically as soon as they
are received by officers and the copies
have been mailed.
To distinguish the admiral the follow
ing points are to be noted: He will have
on his sleeves near the cuffs two stripes
of two-inch gold lace, with one one-inch
stripe between, set One-quartera of an
inch apart. A rear-admiral will have
only one two-inch stripe with half-inch
stripe Just above it.

Now the trunk,
Mighty trunk,
Leaves its dusty attic bunk;
Gleefully the maiden hears it
Dumping down the stairs but fears it
Will not hold
Her manifold
Pink shirt waists and fimsy wrappings
Bathing suits: and gay head trappingS;
Ribbons; slippers; gaudy bows,
Lingerie and function clothes;
Linen skirts and Silken hose;
Outing Suits-and goodness knows
What shall finally be sunk
In the Saratoga trunk.
Note her SMILE
Troubled smile,
As she cOntemplates the pile
That must somehow be included
Ere her closets are denuded;
Mark the haste,
And the taste,
With the which she finds location
For each stunning new creation;
See her place them here and there
With a wOman's loving care,
Stuffing in all that she dare,
Till, with a triumphant air,
From her labors she doth rest
When everything inside is pressed.
Hear the lone
EXpreSsman grOan,
Lifting on the load of stone;
See him vanish without speaking
Ample reinfOrcementS seeking;
Hear the crash
And the smash
AS they dump it in the wagon
Then adjourn to quaff fagOn;
See the sturdy horses strain
AS they haul it to the train;
Here the baggageman profane
Say that summers come again
When he hears the loud ki-plunk
OF the Saratoga trunk!
See the rude
Summer dude
Greet it. in ecstatic mood:
Note the enyiOus maidenS eye 1t,
And in whispers soft, decry it,
Though they be
Impatiently
Waiting for its swift unpacking,
Just to see if aught is lacking;
While its owner scarce can wait
To display its precious freight;
But, although we lightly prate
Of this much containing crate,
Let Il merry toast be drunk,
To the Saratoga trunk!
