WILL PEDAL TO SAN FRANCISCO.
student Rood's Novel Way of Getting to
 California to Study.

| At this time of year when Yale seniors are about to leave college, having com
 pleted the course there, many of then
 are very anxious about what they vii
 do the next year. The chief question
 which the fellows" ask each other al
 this time of year Is What are you go-
 ing to do next year?" One member in | this graduating class has decided that he would like to study law in San Fran | cisco and has fixed upon a novel way | of getting there this summer to begin studying in the fall. He has none toe
 much spare cash, and will ride wheel
 across the continent. He will leave
 New Haven as soon as commencement
 is over
 The student referred to is William H. Rood, Vermonter who rooms in North college Rood is twenty-three years of age and worked to pay his way through a Vermont preparatory school and through college. In college he has been a successful tutor and has kept a good stand in his studies, being also popu- lar man in his class. Last summer, af- ter the close of college, he took wheel ing trip through the west. He went from New Haven to Saratoga, thence to Chicago and from there on farther west through Iowa and Kansas. From Kan sas City he went by train to Denver, where he spent part of the summer with Henry B. Teller, a classinate and son of Senator Teller The latter part of the vacation he spent in wheeling through the state of Colorado. He has entertained his classmates during the past year by relating stories and inci- dents of his trip. For his trip across the continent MT. Rood will take very little baggage on his wheel, but will send his trunks by freight to San Fran cisco. On his wheel he will only take a few small articles, including a small medicine chest The trip is to be pioA- eering and prospecting one, and he in- tends to try and locate in law office to study law in San Francisco. If he fails in that he will return by wheel and enter the Yale law school, although he wishes to study in California, as he de- sres to locate on the Pacific coast. His classmates think that he will be suc- cessful In his quest in San Francisco as they say he has never tried anything in which he did not succeed. During his sophomore year Rood had charge of the Yale mission on East street.

TO GRADUATE STUDENTS
BACCdLIUREA7,E SERMONS AT
 HARVIRD AND WILLIAMS. -
Well Fits Man for Life-NIoral Power Guides and Rules the World Shifting of Opinions and Sources of Authority.
A "a tn ority.

Cambridge, Mass, June 1S.-The Rev.
 Dr. Samuel M. Brothers of the First
 Baptist church. Cambridge, delivered the baccalaureate sermon before the
 senior class of Harvard university this afternoon in Appleton chapel, using
 lsiah 3, 3, as his text. Dr. Brothers said
 in part: "As you reach the end of your
 college course the question comes,
 What does it all amount to?' The
 question has come up before but in the
 little world of the college it has been possible to evade. What are you worth? Has your education fitted or united you for the work which you must do?
 For we must frankly admit that educa
 tion does sometimes unfit a man for common life without raising him to the plane of the uncommon. The require ments of this working world are simple. They are the qualities inherited in the conception of manlness. In all sorts of social service the unit is the man power as the horse power in mechanics, Ger tain human powers can be substi- tuted for by machinery, and books, but there are others that are exclusively hu- man. Further, the kind of human power that is necessary to any worthy achieve ment Is moral power, which guides and rules the world, There are no substi- tutes for common sense, patience, integ- rity, courage But. it is the function of education to transform narrow and in- tolerant virtue into one that Is broad and intelligent. Conscience must always rule. We have a right to demand of the educated man that he shall bring to the decision of the complex questions of modern civilization mind so disciplin- ed as to bring order out of chaos. Mod ern life makes larger demands upon the individual and requires a more strenu- ous trainng; but this training is merely the bringing to the fullest perfection the manly qualities of truthfulness, courage, steadfastness and loyalty"

CARS PEACE CONFERENCE
CRITICISM ON THE ATTITUDE OF
 EMPEROR WILLIAM.
London Times' Correspondent at Tho Hague Says the Kaiser Is Q Born Dramatist and Wishes to Impress His stamp on the Congress-Dr. Zorn's Visit to Berlin.

London, June 18.--The correspondent
 of the Times at The Hague, who thinks that the outlook of the peace conference is promising, says: Emperor William is korn dramatist. He does not like to see such an important event as the peace conference pass by without im~ pressing his own stamp on it, and would most likely when Dr. Zorn returns all will go well.
 The correspondent of the Daily News at The Hague says: pr. Zorn. whom Emperor William summoned on Friday by special messenger, arrived in Bef- lin yesterday (Saturday) morning, ac- companied by MT. Holls of the United States delegation. They only had time for breakfast, and at 10 o'clock were driving to the imperial palace, where in- stant admission was granted them by the kaiser himself, who was waiting for them They had further audience of his majesty to-day (Sunday) and were expected to leave Berlin on their return to The Hague this evening.
 They were appointed joint messengers of the conference because they had be- come intimate friends since they met here. Dr. .Zorn speaks very little Eng fish, but Mir Holls speaks German per- fectly. If Emperor William refuses any sort of tribunal the conference will probably go on without him, but his openly hostile attitude would arouse protests in Germany and MT. Holls has probably taken the liberty of pointing out the deplorable effect this would have in the civilized world. The en- peror is anenable to the religious argus n1ent, and perhaps this will be the lever that will move him. At any rate, If the worst comes to the worst the conference will invite him to sign the convention, with reservation about the tribunal, pledging himself only to use the peace procedure in an eventful arr bitration.

HORSELESS CARRIAGES IN MEDI-
CINE.

Doctors are swift to avail themselves
Of the expedients made possible by the
progress of invention, says E. S. Mar
tin in Harper's Weekly, that when an
X-ray picture is to be taken Of a New
York patient, the physician no longer
fnos it necessary to fetch large cleo
trio battery from his Office, but SIM
ply telephones for an electric cab, and,
as it stands at the door, runs out
wire from the sick-room, and borrows
the electricity he needs from its stor-
age battery. This is beautiful, and
recalls the ways Of the primitive milk
man who drove his COWS to his custom
ers' doors and squeezed out each fam
ily's allowance in the housekeeper's
presence. 4 westernn country doctor
is reported to be saving himself many
trips by using carrier-pigeons to bring
him word OF the condition of distant
patients.

POLICE FORCE CORRUPTION.

The police forces of New York and
other American cities have for years
past been accused Of corruption, inef-
fciency, and neglect Of duty. In New
York in 1894 the truth of the accusa-
ton was publicly demonstrated; and
at the present time il is conceded on
all hands-with Boosting by some and
with depreciation by others-that the
city is wide open" Such condi-
ton may result from corruption Chat
is, from an o1icial partnership with
crime) or from neglect Chat is, from
a mere failure to enforce the law or
from inehciency Chat is, lack of
ability. In New York it has never
been charged that the police force lacks
ability; but obviously such a lack
exists in many of the suburban dis
tricts of Long Island, Westchester
county, and New Jersey, where high
waymen and burglars sometimes
operate so boldly and successfully as
to compel the citizens to organize
vigilance committees and patrols.
For many months robberies, burglar
les, and assaults have been common
in New York; and the news from the
surrounding districts indicates that
metropolitan criminals have been
visiting the country. In one case, we
see conditions of 1awlessness exist
ing in juxtaposition with large, able,
and well-paid police force; N the
other, their existence Is due to in
police protection. It is stated
that within fifty miles of New York
there are communities where acts OF
lawlessness are not punished because
the local police officers are such only
in name, lacking both courage and the |
instinct of law enforcement. These |
police conditions are a surprise and |
mystery to Europeans. Such abuse OF |
power and neglect Of duty as are COM
mon with US are unknown to them.
Earnest efforts have been made to re-
form the police administration in diff
ferent cities, especially in New York, |
and these efforts have been success
ful in improving conditions and in
creating healthy public sentiment;
out improvements in political control
have always suffered relapse. A
peculiar difficulty in the way Of per-
nanent police reform in New York
,ity lies in the character Of the domi-
lant political organization. In no
