TWO GIFTS TO YALE.

At the recent Yale commencement President
Hadley announced two specially interesting
gifts to the university. One of them, fund or
$4,000 to found a lectureship on some subject
connected with journalism literature or public
affairs, was presented by the widow OF isaac
H. Bromley whose love for his alma mater was
deep and constant, and who is held in affection
ate remembrance by a multitude OF friends, in
cluding many of her most distinguished sons.
No other contribution to the purposes of educa-
ton could have been so appropriately connected
with his name. His active life was almost
wholly devoted to newspaper work, and he felt
a keen solicitude for it's honor and usefulness.
It is needless TO add that The Tribune, in whose
service his rare and admirable talents were
employed for many years, finds peculiar
qualification IN the knowledge that his memory
is to be perpetuated in this manner
President Hadley also had the pleasure Of
informing the community of Yale last week that
William E. Dodge, of this city, had given
to the university the sum of $4,000 for the
purpose of promoting among its students and
graduates and among the educated men of the
United States an understanding of the duties
'ot Christian citizenship and n sense Of per-
'sonaI responsibility for the performance Of
those duties" Like the Bromley fund, this
endowment is intended to procure an annual
course of lectures, though Mr. Dodge fOreSees
that at some future time 1t may be deemed
wise to provide for more regular instruction on
the theme he specifies and in that case will
confirm such of his gift. 1t is to be expected
that this lectureship will prove unusually attrac-
tive to men of eminence at home and abroad,
and not only Is Yale to be congratulated upon
its foundation. but general expression Of graft
tude and respect is due TO Mr.. Dodge for his
discriminating liberality. His desire, as he de-
fines 1t, is to contribute to the formation of
intelligent public sentiment and a high standard
Of civic duty and of habits Of action to give
effect thereto; and his benefactiOn Is an impor-
tant incident In the history of education.
The evils from which organized society suf-
fers and the dangers to which it is exposed are
chiefly due to a lack of that sense of individual
responsibility which Mr. Dodge hopes to be
instrumental in fostering and diffusing. We do
not know or contend that the deficiency is rela-
lively greater than it has been at former periods
of the National life; but it is indisputably greater
than 1t ought TO be- and the fact needs to be
clearly and anXiously recognized by serious
minded citizens We glad to believe that
such tendency of thought and effort as Mr..
Dodge seeks to stimulate is already in existence
and destined 10 prevail throughout the Republic

The report that there are 100000 Imperial
troops surrounding Peking and that many Of
them are armed with Krupp. Creusot and Maxim
guns, even IL exaggerated. is not reassuring. IT
is quite likely that the Chinese have learned
something since their war with Japan. and the
extent to which their lessons have included the
handling of modern artillery and breechloading
small arms measures the degree Of difficulty and
complexity in the military situation there.
Things are much changed with them since bows

Mr.. Major tells us that one of the elements of
mis- cement costs S3.75 II pound, and another
costs 1886 gallon, while large share OF the
so-cHlled cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen-cent
glue dissolved in water or citric acid, and in
some cases, altered slightly IN color and odor
by the addition of cheap and useless materials.
Major cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when dealer
. tries to sell Il substitute you can depend upon
it that his only object is to make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
