PRESIDENT HADLEY
Features of His Address at Chicago

Features of His Address at Chicago Yale's Progressiveness Chicago Jan. 4."By the time of the Yale bi-centennial in 1901 I believe we shall see such reform in the teaching work of the university as will bring all
 the undergraduate departments into
 harmony and adapt the college work both to the schools below it and the
 world after it.
 T believe there will be a progress in the course of study which will advance the student really and truly, not only toward citizenship, but toward the par ticular kind of citizenship which he needs to exercise
 It was thus that President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale university characterized the present lines of development in his institution in a speech which he made last evening at the dinner given in his honor by the Chicago Yale association at the University club. MT. Hadey has spoken regretfully of some features of the educational work of Yale in the past. "I regret" he said, that progress in matters of instruction has not been what it should have been. There has been lack of progress, of coordination and of the adaptation of the studies to the condition of Ameri- can life.
 There is strong feeling now that the faculties must use brains in the re- form of courses of instructions and put the work into coherence with itself and with outside life"
 Then he made the prediction which has been quoted, and continued: T do not have great sympathy with the view that the college course should be a preparation of students for the profess slonal or business life.
 "I hold rather, that it should co-op- crate with the store and office life that is to follow, and teach those things which could not be learned in the store or office so as to make q man big enough to see things outside his profess sional rut.
 q would have it give the graduate large knowledge of life, so that when the chance for progress comes he will be the man to take the lead in it."
 MT Hadley spoke of some of the ma terial Improvements which Yale is aim ing at for the celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of the founda- ton, January 10 next. His present trip, which includes many of the largest cit ies in the west is made largely with the view of stirring up Yale loyalty to aid in the work and he gave many expressions of his appreciation to the alumni for the interest they had shown in their alma mater.
 He told of the new buildings to be erected as soon as the funds are ready, including an auditorium, a memorial vestible, a dining hall and administra- tion buildings. Then, speaking of the finances, he said:
 "If Princeton at the end of a century and a half of history could raise from it's alumni memorial fund of s1 800 coo, I figure that Yale at the end of two cen- turies can raise S2,000, ,000."

THINKS BRITISH WILL WIN.

Lieutenant Totten, who a few days ago remarked that England would need twice the force it then had in order to whip the Boers, said yesterday that he fully expected to see the English tri- umph in the Transvaal. It took the union forces four years to take Rich mond and down the rebellion and the English ought to have time to fully get to work in their contest of to-day All the Boer force is now in the field and at it. An attacking army needs to be from three to five times larger than the army attacked especially in noun tainous country. The Boers are we'll armed and have been ten years get ting ready for this war

THE PROPOSED STOCK INCRE4SE, By the Gas Company-A Hartford Opin-
 ion OM the Subject Not Taken 10 Heart

Officers of the New Haven Gas Light regard to an article in the Hartford Times of Wednesday, which said that the New Haven companys stockholders action in recommending that their di- rectors increase the companys capital stock was illegal and would not stand. The Gas company officials said that they knew nothing of the article in question, but when it's purport was given to them, said that the action of the stockholders was in consonance with the legal rights of the company in the case As to the point raised by the Times article that the stockholders should have named some definite amount in their recommendatio the officials said that the action was not completed until the directors had also acted and that the course pursued at the stockholders meeting was believed to be in accordance with recognized precedents and would probably be found to be sound and legal. The Times in its article said:
 "This resolution is illegal and will make the company good deal of
 
 called together to correct it. The courts have held that such a declaration is void or voidable for indefniteness. The stockholders must give the directors specific authority to issue a given amount of stock at given time. It is said that it is the intention to issue only 10000 shares immediately But this can- not be legally done under the above resolution"
 A prominent New Haven lawyer who was asked concerning the matter said that the Gas company did right and what was customary in placing the re- snonsibility of increasing it's stock in .n hands of it's directors. The directors ol a corporation were manifestly the proper parties to act and decide in the cGse.

WATERBURY HERALD CASES.

The so-called Waterbury Herald cases will probably be tried to-day in the su- perior court before Judge Shumway and a jury. The accused, who were bound over, are John A. Mckee and Charles MacGilvray, newsdealers, and the Rab- bi Abraham Garfunkle of Oak street, whose thirteen-year-old boy sold the prescribed journal.
 The case took an interesting turn yesterday by the filing of a demurrer to the complaint by Judge L. N. Bly, denburgh and Joseph Barbour, counsel for John A. Mckee The demurrer goes right to the root of the matter and aI- leges that to discriminate against the Herald is unconstitutional and that the complaint is otherwise defective The inference, therefore, is that if the paper

IT HAD TO GO FOR oNE-AND-s1x.

IT HAD TO GO FOR ONE-AND-SIX.
An Irishman recently applied at a
London poet-office to know the cost of
sending telegram to his mother, who
resided in a remote part of Ireland, and
upon being informed that the fee would
be four shillngs sixpence, exclaimed:
What! l carn't afford all that
The clerk then explained that the
message would cost one shilling six
pence to the nearest office to the ad-
dress given, and that the remaining
three shillings would be charged for
delivery by special messenger, as the
eddsess was beyond the radius of free
delivery.
After some moments of consideration
Pat said: Look here; I've only got
one shilling sixpence, SO you had better
send it on to the nearest office, and |
will write to mother tonight and tell
her TO fetch it.-London Ilt-Blts.
