 LET AT PRINCETON.
A M ost Serious Lesson in the Tragedy of His Death Anarchy Must be Boldly and R~solutoly Grnppled With-Les- sons to be Len rned from the Life of the Dead President.

Princeton, N. J., Sept 19.-All formal
 exercises at Princeton university were
 suspended to-day and at II o'clock me-
 morial exercises were held in Alexan- dria hall. The big hall was filled with
 students and visitors as the faculty, led | by former President Cleveland and President Patton, slowly filed up the aisle to the rostrum. President Patton opened the exercises with prayer and after Cowpers' hymn. Good Moves in
 His Mysterious Way" he read the 4eth
 psalm and made a few remarks eulo- gzing the late president Nearer My
 God to Thee" was then sung and Pres ident Patton introduced MT Cleveland, who visibly affected and with tears in
 his eyes, eulogized the dead president Prof. Woodrew Wilson and Prof. John
 R. Finley of the faculty followed with
 brief addresses. The exercises closed with the national hymn. Mr. Cleve- land said in part:
 To-day the grave closes over the
 man who had been chosen by the peo--
 pie of the United States to represent
 their sovereignty, to protect and to de-
 fend their constitution, to faithfully ex-
 ecute the laws made for their welfare
 and to safely uphold the integrity of
 the republic.
 He passes from the public sight not
 bearing the wreaths and garlands of
 his countrymen's approving acclaim
 but amid the sobs and tears of a
 mourning nation. The whole nation
 loved their president His kindly dis
 position and affectionate traits, his amiable consideration for all around him, will long be in the hearts of his countrymen. He loved them in return with such patriotism and unselfishness that in this hour of their grief and hu- initiation he would say to them Tt Is Gods will I am content. if there is lesson in my life and death let 1t be taught to those who still live and have the destiny of their country in their keeping,
 First in my thoughts are the lessons to be learned from the career of Will liam Mckinley by the young man who make up the students of our univer- sity They are not obscure nor diff ficult. The man who is universally mourned to-day was not deficient in educa tion, but with all you will hear of his grand career and his services to his country. you will not hear that what he accomplished was due entirely to his education. He was an obedient and af- fectionate son, patriotic and faithful as a soldier, honest and upright as a citi- zen, tender and devoted as a husband, and truthful, generous and unselfish, moral and clean in every relation of life. There is a most serious lesson for | allSbf US in the tragedy of our late l presidents death. If we are to escape further attacks upon our peace and se- curity we must boldly and resolutely 1 grapple with the monster of anarchy. l It is not thing that we can safely l leave to be dealt with by party or par tisanship. Nothing can guarantee us ! against it's menace except the teaching | and the practice of the best citizenship, the exposure of the ends and acts of | the Gospel of discontent and hatred of | social order and the brave enactment l and execution of reoressive laws
 Ky the memory of our martyred | president let us resolve to cultivate and ] preserve the qualities that made him | great and useful and let us determine | to meet the call of patriotic duty in ev- cry time of our ,ountry's danger or | leed.' A
