MEMORIAL, TABLETS.


IT is very gratifying to the commit
tee in charge to find an interest taken
bv the patriotic societies in the ami
versary. The Sons of the American
Revolution, for instance, propose 70
erect, on the corner of Chapel and Col
lege streets, a tablet commemorative
of the famous entertainment by the
college authorities of Washington while
on his way to Cambridge to take COM
mand of the Continental forces. Be
sides this, the local authorities OF say
brook hope to arrange for visit OF re-
representatives. of the university to that
town at the time of the Bt-centennla
celebration, to take part in specla
commemoration Of the fact that the
college was located there from the time
of it's Incorporation in 1701 until 1716.

ton will center about the addresses

dresses on Monday morning Will be
followed in the afternoon by an ad-
dress of welcome to the guests from
other institutions of learning and to
representatives of the alumni assocla-
tons, with designated responses. In
the evening, as has been noted, the
procession of students and graduates
viii parade the streets of the city and

houses of their hosts. On Tuesday,
October 22, the morning function com
prises addresses on Yale'S Relation to

The APOSTLE of Despair.

The American people are not in the
humor TO elect as their President man
whose gospel is that of despair. They
look on the bright and not on the dark
side of life. They make up a nation
that is fair and generous and has faith
and hope and courage. And just at this
time, when there is growing content
ment on all sides and the future is so
full of promise, they are not going to
bestow their highest gift upon a profess
sional preacher of discomfort who for
four long years has done nothing but
talk misfortune, howl about mistakes
and whine for a new administration
with himself at the head of it, The peo-
pie are heartily sick of Mr.. Bryan and
his chronic growing. They have wear
led of his Trades and fault finding.
With his worn-Gut tale of woe lie has
become little better than a nuisance.
His personality has little attraction for
the people who elect Presidents.-Seat-
