HALL OF NATURAL HISTORY AT
 TRINITY COLLEGE.
1NGLY OF THE DED1CAToRY IxERCIsEs, LAST WEEK,

Hartford, Conn.,, 7.h December, 1900 Ny Dear BEE: Ooce moro in the beau tiful Capital city of the Nutmeg stat, (where denizsns have more wealth pc, capita than those of any other municipal ity in the New World), after an ab sence of more than half century since my graduation from Trinity college with my first scholastic degree of A. B., ] received summons from the president and faculty to assist at the celebration o1 the opening ceremonies of the dedication of the new and commodious Hall of s..-.@ al History on the spacious and de- lect' .ole grounds overlooking the city, si: oe it's removal from the site of the state capitol, which now occupies and adorns the old college campus.
 The day was most suspicious for the season, warm and springlike, and the population of our capital city, of both sexes, and in the various walks of life, of it's s0,OO0 people, were strongly in evidence, at the intellectual and social exercises. Throngs of citizene, students, scholars, professors, presidents of other universities and colleges, priests and bishops, adorned with degrees and gowns, mortar caps, multi-colored hoods, with Oxford paraphernalia, miters and slaves of cf1ce, marched in the orderly procession, to ''the feast of reason and the flow of soul," prepared for those who delight in the best things within the reach of our mortality.
 President Hadley of Yale university, and the official heads of the other New England colleges and institutes of learn. ing paid the glad tribute of their congrat- ulations and commentators to Trinity for her advanced position and achieve ments in the arts and sciences, 'as taught within her walls.
 The Rt Rev Bishop Potter of New York was unexpectedly recalled to the great metropolis to assist in the Croker- rammany struggle between purity and the police pollution policy % recently and 50 earnestly opened in the purlieus of that mighty municipality.
 President Hadley ,of Yale in laying the tribute of his encomium at the feet of Trinity college. received generous and prolonged applause from the officers, and guests of the institution, as we'll as from the .citizsns of Hartford present in the new hall.
 Prof H. F. Osborn, doctor of science in charge of the American Museum of Natural History, happened to be stand ing with your scribe on the left of the president of "Old Eu"-and some refer. ence was made to the Prophet Samuel when the throngs were entering the new building, and Prof Osborn introduced them to President Hadley and to "Rabbi seven times 70 of the throng, your scribe blushing and bearing tho new title, until the treasurer of the col lege presented us to the mistaken pro- fessor of science as the relative of Gen Sherman, who had penetrated into wilds and wastes of Cuba, before our present of war had ventured to inves- tigate that ''ever faithful island" and before the present continental conven- tion was organized for making the Re- public of Cuba free and independent.
 Hastily but truly yours,

PORTLAND MAN ROBBED.

George Marston, claiming residence In
Portland, arrived at Athens, in Somer-
set county, Saturday night, and gives
the information that he was robbed of
a large sum OF money while on his way
to Athens from Blanchard, Friday af.
ternoon. Marston says that he has been
hunting in the vicinity of Moosehead
lake for the past two weeks. Thursday
afternoon he started on foot with the
intention of walking to Athens village
where he expected to find an electric road
by which he could proceed to Skow-
hegan where he says he has relatives.
When Marston arrived at the village
Of Kingsbury, he says he met two young
men who appeared to be farmers and
who had apparently been trading at the
stores of the village. They overlook
Marston on the road a short distance
from Kingsbury. Thursday night Mars
ton says he stopped with family by
the name of Wilkins. He had dropped
the two young men at their home.
Friday afternoon as he came into a
piece OF woods about half mile from
Brighton village, the same two men
whom he had met the day before came
along. They appeared to be pretty full
Of cider and had jug of the liquid
along with them they invited Marston
to drink. Mareton says he took several
drinks of cider. although it was not
made this year, and walked some distance
with the young farmers. When the par
ty reached the white schoolhouse, they
went in to rest Marston says that he
went to sleep and did not wake until
nearly dark. When he came to himself
he was alone, and large roll of money
which he claims to have had in his
fyock pocket was gone.
