Wisdom from President Hadley OF Yale:
at must constantly be borne in mind that
the training of the free citizen is not so
much a development of certain lines of
knowledge as development of certain es-
sential qualities of character and habits of
action. Courage, discipline and loftiness
of purpose are the things really necessary
for maintaining a free government. II a
citizen possesses these qualities of charac-
ter, he will acquire the knowledge which is
essential TO the conduct of the country's
institutions and to the reform of the
abuses which may arise"

ITALY'S KING KILLED.
Shot BY An Anarchist Who Came From
Paterson, n. j.

at Once Arrested.--Says He
Had No King Humbsrt
Was Considered Most Martial Figure
Among EnrOpe's sOvereIgns.
King Humbert of Italy was assassinated
Sunday evening at MoDza, summer re-
sort nine miles from Milan, by Angelo
Bressi, an Anarchist. The king had been
attending distribution of prizes in con-
nection with a gymnastic competition, and
had Just entered his carriage with his aide
de-camp, amid the cheers of the crowd,
when he was struck by three revolver
shots fired in quick succession. One
pierced the heart of his majesty who fell
backward and expired in a few minutes.
AS soon as his majesty's attendants could
realize what had happened he was placed
in his carriage and driven as rapidly as
possible to the palace. He was, however,
beyond human aid. The assassin was inn
mediately arrested, and was with some
difficulty saved from the fury of the popu-
lace. His name is variously given as An
CELLO and Gaetano Bressi. He was born in
Prato Nov 10, 1869, and is a weaver by
trade. He comes from America where he
had residence at Paterson, n. ]. He
says he had no accomplices, and that he
committed the crime because Of his hatred
of monarchical institutions. He reached
Monza July 81 from Milan, where he stay
ed few days. Bressi is 30 years old, and
he left Paterson May I. He has a wife
and young child in Paterson.
The assassination of King Humbert has
plunged all Italy in mourning, and many
tributes to the dead monarch are paid by
the press and people The king was con-
sidered the most martial figure among
European sovereigns, and was always a
firm friend of his country and his people &;
indeed it was his love for the common peo-
pie which doubtless caused his assassina-
ton. His gallant conduct during the
cholera epidemic won a warm place in
many hearts. He visited the infected dis
tricts and did everything in his power to
alleviate suffering. During his reign
many important things were done in legis-
lation and the institutions of modern life.
Humbert always esteemed America, and
visitors from this country were received
with great cordially King Humbert was
a scion of the house of Savoy, an old fami-
ly whose history is full of legend and ro-
nance.
King Humbert was So years old and had
reigned since 1878, when he succeeded his
father, Victor Emmanuel, first king Of
United Italy. He married in 1868 his
cousin, the beautiful aud most beloved
Margherita, daughter of Ferdinand, Duke
of Genoa. But one child was born to them,
who now becomes King of Italy, Victor
Emmanuel, born in 1869 and married in
1896 to the Princess Helene, daughter of
Nicholas, Prince of Montenegro. He is a
scholarly and liberal man who is popular
with the people. He has no children, and
his cousin, Duke of Aosta, is next in line of
kingly succession. Two previous attempts
were made to kill King Humbert.

ROBERTS LINE OF COMMUNICATION
MAY HAVE BEEN INTERRUPTED,
Ills Latest Reports Of the Movements at the
Front Are Somewhat Mysterious --ColVilleS
Advance WasStrongly Contested by Beers

London. June 2.--Lord Roberts last
report Of the movements Of the British
troops i'm the Transvaal is somewhat
mysterious. From the fact that Gener-
al French's report took two days to
reach the commander-in-chief at Jo-
hannesburg ii is believed that either
French must be many miles north OF
that city or that he Is having trouble
with his communications. The former
is generally accepted as the most prob
able and 1t is surmised that Lord Rob-
erts' rague phrase setting forth that
French lis now holding the place which
/ directed him to do north of Johannes
burg. means that his position is quite
close 10 Pret,iia. The additional fact
that Lord hoterts' dispatch published
today is dated four hours earlier than
the ons gwen cut yesterday and that
IL takes re proceedings no further than
May 81 leads 10 the inevitable conclu-
sion that some important movement Is
on foot or that Lord Roberts himself
has not been abb TO keep his lines clear
behind him. Possibly. the next place
Lord Roberts will be heard from will
be Pretoria. while II seems that French
should certainly be within striking dis
tance OF the capital by today.

the war and asked: Can we take the
English hand that perhaps is stained
with the blood of my brother?"
The chairman advised moderation In
all the speeches.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously. Other resolutions presented
affirmed that II the republics were an
