A College Room Marriage.

Cambridge. Mass. June e5.-Harvard
has novelty in the class day line wIieh
was announced today. 1t was the marriage
of David Gibbs a student in the graduate
school, and Miss Elise Barstow, a SCHOOL
teacher. of Boston. The ceremony was
performed in Gibbs room at Harvard
while the class day exercises were going
on. People saw the luncheon carried TO
the room, and thought it only one of the
senior spreads" There was no attempt
at secrecy. and the members of both fam
lilies and friends in small numbers knew
about the wedding. II is the first welding
on record in a college room. and Of course.
there are no rules against such a ceremony.
for there has never been a case before.
Gibbs is an A. b. from the Lawrence Scien-
tifc School of Harvard. and this year tas
been taking a course in philosophy. Ee
recently accepted pace as superintendent
of schools in two Massachusetts towns
Hudson and Groton, but did not give up
college work. The Rev. Mr.. Denham. of
New York, officiated with the Rev. r.
Mason as assistant. The bride and bride

useful civilians, it has been the habit of
men to fiatter and pamper soldiers out

ing Dewey, Hobson and Schley. But
our text reminds us of a simple and pri-
vate victory which is really greater than
one of those great military exploits that
send shock of amazement around the
world. We are told that it is more
noble feat to be able to rule ones spirit
than to capture city, and this was writ
ten in the days before the invention of
heavy guns. when a siege taxed all the
energies of the skillful and powerful gen.
cral. The struggles were harder in those
days. and yet for all that We are told that
self-control is even more difficult. Why?
Because it is a civil war. When the en-
e1ny is within you concede the strife to
be most bitter, most difficult A Govern
ment may be well able to defeat a for
eign nation, but unable to subdue internal
strife. And the marshal of the combined
armies may be able to drive, an invading
force from his country's shores, yet un
able to drive the demon drink from his
own body or the fend of lust from his
own mind. A notable Illustration OF this
very truth is found in the Duke ds Ven
dome, a famous French general of the
seventeenth century. His campaigns in
Spain and Italy were brilliant from a SOL
dier's point of view and ever successful.
Macauley describes him as capable of ex-
hibiting on occasion the qualities of a
great soldier. yet he was sunk in Incidence
and the foulest vice. Which is the greater,
he that ruleth GIs spirit or he that taketh
city? Does the question appear so very
absurd?
True greatness then depends on char
acter, and not on achievements. Achieve
ments depend largely on external circum-
stances, or what our navy men call OPP
portunity.' The excellence of individual
character depends on -control-that in
ward private, secret battle against wrong.
1t would be disloyal to tie last degree to
assert that Dewey is the only great Of
fcer in the United States Navy. No, we
believe that there are scores of men in
the Navy who could have accomplished
what Dewey did. The difference between
Dewey and the rest of tnem lies in this
opportunity Dewey had his opportunity
and made himself immortal The people
shower their laurels only upon those who
are great on account of the luck of cir
cumstance, the fortune of opportunity
the accident of achievement, while the
thousands who are just as worthy, just as
capable. are unnoticed. But, thank God
1t shall not always be so for God is i'm
partial in his distribution of rewards. The
obscure man, If successful in his warfare
against the wrong within, is crowned at
last. To him that overcometh will
grant to sit with me in my throne"

GRAVES AT GUANTANAMO.
Services in Memory of Twenty-siS
American Dead.

American Dc0u
Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn has
received from official sources at Guanta-
namo a detailed account Of Memorial Day
ceremonies in that town. The citizens of
both sexes cordially accepted the invita-
ton CT the few Americans residing there
to assist in placing oflwers on the TWEEN
ty-six graves OF United States soldiers
buried near Guantanamo.
The burial place OF the American dead
is about two miles from the town on
little hill known as Polanco. This spot
was the former camping ground of the
Third Volunteer Infantry. The graves
when first visited were completely COW
cred with tropical growth of tall grass
and scrubs. These the committee removed
and put the graves in good condition for
the services which were to follow. AL
though no public order was issued max
ing May SO a holiday, the merchants of
the town. without exception. closed their
places of business and in other ways
showed their respect for the day. The
services. which were in charge of L. Wal
do Floyd, began at a. m. Captain Mar
tin, of the Fifth Infantry, led the way to
the cemetery, and had as escort Gen. Pc
dro A. Perez, of the Cuban Army, who
is mayor of Guantanamo, and the latter's
entire military stall. All were mounted
and in full uniform. Following came the
chairman of the committee, escorted by
several officers OF the regulars, and num-
ber Of Cubans and Spaniards. also mount
ed. These were followed in turn by
squad of twenty mounted and fully
equipped men of the Fifth Infantry, fol-
lowing whom were two Army ambulances
and number OF carriages filled with la
dies.
At the cemetery the service was opened
by a brief address by the chairman OF
the committee, followed by the reading
of the Episcopal burial service. Then
flags were placed on the graves by de-
tail of American soldiers. This done
twenty little Cuban girls placed flowers
on the graves The simple services were

CAPS IN DuNKARD MEETINGS.
Reformers Decide That Women May
Remove Their Heudgear.

Ephrata, Pa, June 25.-A dispute tina;
threatened to have serious results among
the Reformed Evangelical Dunkards has
wearing of caps carried out the Biblical
injunction to women to be covered in
church. Those who argued for the white
caps insisted that women in meeting wear
ing them were fully covered as the New
Testament requires. and that they could.
therefore. continue TO take of their hats
and bonnets and still be in line with St.
Paul's admonitions. The anti-cap people
maintained that head covering meant hats
or bonnets, not caps, and that IL hats and
bonnets were removed the women were un-
covered and therefore dishonored in meet
ing. First Corinthians. XII, was quoted as
follows:
1. Every praying prophcsying, having
his head covered dishonoureth his head.
3. But every woman that prayeth or prophe-
sieth with her head uncovered dishonoureih her
head
6. For if the woman be not covered, let her
also he slorn; but il it he shame for a woman
To he shorn or shaven. let her be covered.
Is. Judge in yourselves; is it comely that
woman pray unto God uncovered!
The cap adherents argued that the white
cap was a sufficient covering according TO
Biblical law. Some said that the texts
>
that in those days the women only wore
capes or cowls over their heads, and that
St Paul meant that women should leave
their heads covered with hair. In proof
of this they quoted from the same chapter
in First Corinthians. as follows:
II. Doth moi nature itself teach you,
that if a man have long hair, it is shame unto
h;:..?
Is But ii a woman have long hair. il is a
glory TO her; for her hair is given her for a
covering.
After brisk argument it was decided
that the sisters could remove their hats
and bonnets al meeting. but keep on their
thin white caps. and still be covered. This
was enough covering to carry out the
teaching of St. Paul In each meeting
l-ouse. therefore. there are two yestibules,
each containing a rack. one for the hats OF
men and boys and the other for the hats
and bonnets OF the women and little girls.

The annual Children's Day service was
held at Calvary Baptist Church yesterday
morning. Over 1,2O0 of the children of the
Sunday school and congregation were in at
tendance. The number of those present
was augmented by representatives of many
of the Baptist churches in the city The
pulpit was beautifully and tastefully deco
rated with cut flowers and eyergreens
A special musical programme was pro-
vided for the occasion and was rendered
by the pupils.
The various departments OF the Sunday
school were arranged in sections and were
seated in the pews Immediately in front
of the pulpit. The adult members of the
congregation occupied seats in the gal
leries. One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the programme was presented by
the kindergarten department. These lit
tie ones. in the rendition Of several in
fant sacred songs showed that they had
been carefully trained and drilled for the
occasion. Little ones that could scarcely
lisp the words Of the songs sang in musical
and happy measure.
The junior department also gave a most
pleasing rendition OF several selections.
The adults of the Sunday school also
contributed to the musical programme and
assisted in all of the choruses.
Responsive reading of several passages
taken from the Bible was participated in
by the entire school. This part of :he ser
vice was led by Second Assistant Post
master General Shallenberger, who is ac-
lively connected with the Sunday school
work of the Calvary Church. Short adj
dresses were made by the superintendent
and several of the teachers. Some of the
teachers referred to the benefit derived
from instructing the children of the
church. The benefit of the Sunday school
as a training place for future Christian
men and women was ably pointed out by
the speakers.
