 Immediately after the departure of the physician, Secretary Hay arose and had breakfast in his room, his nurse reporting to other members of the sad household that he was fairly comfortable, all things considered.
 It was stated at the house this morning that no definite plans for the funeral will be fixed upon until the arrival of Mrs Hay and her daughter, who are expected this afternoon from Newbury, N.

SECRETARY GAGE MISTAKEN.
So Says the Russian Finance Minister
 Relative to Present Affairs.

Relative to Present Affairs.
 London, June 24.-A despatch to the news agency from St Petersburg, dated to-day, purports to quote NJ. de Witte, the Russian finance minister as saying that the statement issued by Secretary Gage, in explanation of the United States treasury departments action in imposing countervailing duties on cer- tain Russian products, shows the ques- ton is not fully understood by that statesman. He, NJ. de Witte, cannot imagine that Mir Gage would intention ally mislead the people of the United States, and therefore, he can only con- clude that MT Gage is not possessed of all the facts in the case.

Approves the Report.

The News believes that most people
who have followed the recent troubles
at the state university will approve of
the report of the legislative committee
which recommended the dismissal of
President Jerome III. Raymond and
the reorganization Of the entire board
says the Wheeling News. The COM
mittee has done full justice to Presi-
dent Raymond in its report, praising
his energy and zeal, but it finds that
while he possesses many excellent
traits he lacks experience anG the fact
and tinesse always necessary to such
position. The committee believes
that the welfare of the school will be
served, if he steps down and out and
we agree with the opinion. AS to the
reorganization of the board that also
seems as necessary to peace and har-
mony as the presidents retirement.
1t is patent fact that men at vari-
ance as to the schools best interests
cannot act effectively on the board Of
regents. In it's recommendation the
committee seems to have taken the
shortest and most direct road out of
the difficulty, and we trust their plan
may prove of lasting benefit to the
university

Why He Stays.

THE reformers path is thorny one
His labors repaid by hate
Never held at his true worth
Until it is too late"
For three long years have labored
Bowed down by the weight of care
Bearing the burden of others
Striving their business to share.
Giving my LIES best efforts
AT thirty six hundred year
But despite my labor exacting
Is repaid but by mock and by jeer.o
well so wags the old world away
Yet virtue shall receive its reward
Though oft under passion vile sway
'Tis twisted, distorted, destroyed"
4'But, here will stay" says the doctor
s, ITO leave good thing | decline
Still watching, and waiting and working
For resignation that won't resign. !"

current of pathos, which is almost a
tragedy. only deepens the shadows of
the background, making the glints of
sunshine brighter and more golden.
As story it is most enchanting.

Sol Smith Russell made famous-or it
might better Ee said made Mr.. Rus

that sterling young actor Mr.. Alden
Bass, and it is said the part fits him
like glove.
Mr.. Bass is az artist with the same
quiet methods of Sol Smith Russell,
and during the past season gained
high praise largely through his natur-
al magnetism, facial expression,
quaintness of manner, and dry sense
of humor. In this famous play be
has achieved complete success.
Mr.. Fred G. Berner has surrounded
Mr.. Bass with one of the best and
most evenly balanced companies that
will be seen here the present season.
The scenery. properties, etc which
the company carries, are the original
