NO government can last that has one

the Dutch-speaking people of her At

civilized government IN the world. He

but it was not the liberty for his

GUESTS OF THE LOTOs CLUB.
The GridirOn Clubs Innovations in
New York Banquet Halls.

The members of the Gridiron Club who
went to New York Saturday as the guests
of the Lotos Club are enthusiastic over the
success Of the trip. Their hosts were most
hospitable, and while the methods of the
Gridironers were somewhat of an innova-
ton in Gotham, they were met with a give
and-take spirit that was delightful The
Lotos people had heard somewhat of the
peculiar ways of the Washington news
paper men, but they were not prepared for
the high-handed way in which the guests
took possession of the banquet hall and as
sumed charge of the proceedings. The BAN
quet progressed very pleasantly with occa-
Sonal diversions in the way of music and
Rotations, until the coffee was served
This was the signal for the Washington
men, A sturdy policeman pushed his way
through the crowded banquet hall to the
presidents table and Summarily placed un-
der arrest Vice President White of the Lotos
Club who was presiding, and elected him
from the room, on charge preferred by
President H. l.. West of the Gridiron Club
OF conducting an indecent performance or
rather, OF performance that wasn't half
decent. In the meantime the Gridiron min
strels had hurried to the cloak room. and
supplied themselves with high hats and
when President West announced that the
Gridiron Club would take charge and RIM
the show their own way, filed into the room
ana gave unique performance which
seemed to be highly appreciated
Ine New 1ork Sun of yesterday, in a long
article on the Lotos banquet said
Anything resembling that minstrel show
is not likely to be seen in a New York club
house until the Gridirop comes over from
washington again The Gridron
style of dinner is an innovation in club life
in this city. The Gridiron people do not object
to serious words at their feasts but they do
object to anything in the nature of monot-
ony or self-appreciation on the part of any
speaker. The men who run the Gridiron
Club have come to the conclusion that the
evils of public dinners are most of them
due at bottom to these two forms of crime
The understanding of the Washington
ideals grew upon the Lotos Club men. and
were greatly appreciated. The New York
ers, before the night was over became
many of them most adept in the use of the
guying practices of the visiting organiza-
ton.
The Gridiron Club men were greatly
pleased with the progress in the art of
roasting gently developed by their hosts
during the dinner When Mr. White re
marked, after he had been allowed to come
back at the end of the minstrel show that
the entertainment had pleased the Grid
iron Club, and had not disguise ed the Lotos,
Mr.. West who continually usurped the
gavel leaned over him and patted him on
the back, saying: Keep on, my son. keen
on. One of these days you will be eligible
for the Gridiron.'"

Looking Out Fer Alma Mater,


No doubt the casual observer has Of
ten noticed how increasingly bequests
flow into the treasures of certain uni
versities, but he may not know that
the alumni of those institutions, partic-
ularly the lawyers. have it always on
their minds to secure, or at least to
suggest, bequests.
One of these men, prominent cor
poration lawyer of this city, was speak
ing of the custom the other day. He
explained that a lawyer and his client
usually sit down to talk over the gen.
eral subject of will. If the client has
more than enough money to meet the
actual needs of his family, he common
ly says something of charitable or edu-
cational institutions, generally in a
vague way, which makes it quite nat
ural for his lawyer to suggest as def
inite object his own alma mater. The
lawyer referred to had himself secured
several bequests, one of them for the
sum of $5OO,OOO. "But," said he, smil-
ing, "a young lawyer in my Office has
just cut me out of 100000, which he
put in a will for his own alma mater.
1t was very good stroke on his part,
the more so because our respective uni
versities have been bitter athletic RI
walls for years."-New York Mail and

Goldsmith.


Not long before the close of Gold
smiths life he produced the brilliant
and humorous lines of "Retaliation."
Varied accounts are given of the origin
of this poem. 1t will be remembered
that in a joke Garrick wrote the fol
lowing couplet as an epitaph for Gold
smith:
Here lies Molly Goldsmith, for shortness called
Noll,
Who wrote like an angel, but talked like poor
poll
1t was on April 4, 1774, that Gold
smith died. The precise spot where he
was buried in the Temple churchyard
is unknown.
This is Johnson's summing up of the
character of Goldsmith: "He had rails
ed money and squandered it by every
artifice of acquisition and folly of ex-
pense. But let not his frailties be re-
membered; he was very great man.
