The Woman He Married in Reno Con
 fronted Him.
 London. June 22-In the Bow street police court to-day, Earl Russell was committed for trial at the next session of the central criminal court OH charge of bigamy, bail being allowed m E2OO0. Present at the hearing today was Mrs Someryille, the woman ~to whom Earl Russell was married III Reno. Nevada, in 1900. It was announc- cd in court that the present proceedings were taken solely by the public prose cutor thus confirming the statement of the first countess that she IS not party to the. suit.
 One of the witnesses at the hearing was the county clerk of Washoe coun- ty, Nevada, who testified to having per formed the marriage ceremony in Keno. The defendant called himself MT Rus sel and witness was not aware of his rank
 After detailing the law on divorce, the witness said that in Earl Russeils divorce. the law was not complied with in two respects and therfore the de cree annulling the Earl's marriage was not valid, even in Nevada.
 Being a peer. the earl must be tried in the house of lords. The usual course is that, after the committai, appllca- tion is made to remove the case to the house of lords by writ of certiorarl. Such trials have been very rare. The last was the case of Lord Cardigan There have been four trials of peers, in the house of lords. since the end of the reign of George II.

SCHURMAN'S TALK
No Great Minds in Americas
 He Says.
WE ARE LIVING ON EUROPE.

His Commencement Address Created
 Quite a Sensation-It May Take
 Five Hundred Years to Put America
 Ill Its Proper Position Dr Henry,
 Van Dyke Questions President
 Schurman's Ideas.
 New York, June 22-President Schurman of Cornell university IS quoted in Herald dispatch from Ith- aca as saying, in reply to a question last night. regarding the statements in his commencement address concern ing American intellectual barrenness in certain directions:
 Tt is undoubtedly true that in America there have been no first-class creative productions of the human mind. We are living on Europe for the best there is in poetry, art, litera- ture and science, and the danger Is that we are apt to be content togo on living so and neglect to use our ere alive instincts.
 T believe. that the hope of tue coun- try is in it's colleges and universities. If universities and their professors realize our secondary place in first class science, they will themselves be moved to greater effort In the direction of the highest ill science, literature and art, and their efforts will radiate out from them and will do much to build up an environment conducive to pro- ducfng the best
 Tt is impossible to say how many generations it would take to put Amer ica in her proper position. It may take fifty years or it may take five hundred.n
 Dr Henry Van Dyke, head of the English department at Princeton. is quoted by Tribune correspondent as saying in an interview upon President Schurman's utterances:
 "On the general proposition that America is intellectually inferior to Europe, I would first question the fact and then confess my inability to ex- p1ain the cause. It seems to me that there is nothing being done in England at present either in the way of criti- cism, fiction or poetry which is SUI perior to what is being done in this country, with the possible exception of Stephen Philip, in dramatic ntegature, which is of great promise. At the present moment fiction is the leading form of literary activta and here X think we can hold our own with Eng land beyond question. In criticism 1t would also be easy to name at least four Americans whose work is not ex~ celled, and to my mind not quite equalled, by anything done in Eng land v # ssHs

TWENTY-FlFTH ANNIVERSARY.
Rev Father Slocrm Visited the Semi4
 nary Where Ha Was Ordained

Rev Father SlOcum NlSlted the oeAaA@
 nary Where He Was Ordained.
 To-day is the 25th anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of the Rev. w. J.. Slocum, pastor of the Immacn- late Conception parish, and his parish toners were preparing to render it ~ memorable epoch in the history of the church, but Father Slocnm learned of what was going on and through some medium made it plain to all that he wanted no demonstration on the occar sion of his silver jubilee, and in order to make sure that if could not take place he left here during the week for AlIegany and has not returned yet. It is probable that Father Slocun might have gone there at this time,s any way, but whether this is true or not many are rather suspicious about his absence and feel that he would be in Waterbury to-day if someone had not acquainted him regarding their pInns. But Father S1ocum's friends are not going to be put off as easy. as that and when he returns he will find that they are bound to. manifest in some small way the high esteem ill which they hold him.
 The Rev William J Slocum waA born in Winsted, February 6, 1851. He was ordained at St Bonaventnrass college, Allegany, N. Y, June 22, 1S76s by Bishop Ryan of Buffalo. He minis- tered at St Peters, Hartford: St Pat rick's, New Haven; St Mary's, Nor: walk, and came to the Immaculate Conception church, this city, in Au-S gust, 1895, to succeed the late Vicar General J. A. Mulcahy. He is one of the best known clergymen in New Eng- land, is idolized by his own people and held in the highest esteem by his feI- lowmen of all creeds and classes.

TOO FUNNY.
Audience Laughed and Almost
Cried.

There were sore sides from con-
tinued laughter after the perform
ance of the Man From Mexico" at
the Grand opera house Monday night.
The situations themselves are too full
of possibilities for any but an excep-
tionally poor company to fail to take
advantage of them and the company
that presented the show here was
good, in every particular.
Mr.. Louis Peters, in the name role
of the play, was funny. He has
facial expressions and the business
of the play completely at his com
mand The greatest regret was that
there was so small an audience there
to see the show. They made up, in
enthusiasm and risibility, however,
what they lacked in numbers, and
the house was kept on the verge Of
tears from continued laughter through
out the show.
