TAKEN FROM An AMERICAN SHIP.
Two British Des erters from the Warship
Niobe.

Halifax, N. S., Oct, 9-Two British
sailors who had deserted from the
warship Niobe, were forcibly taken
from the American schooner Mist this
afternoon. Warrants for their arrest
were issued by Admiral Sir Frederick
Bedford and an imperial government
launch having on board a squad of
civil police and an armed escort of ma
rines went out to the schooner, which
was lying in the stream.
A demand was made for the men and
the captain of the vessel was prepared
to give them up but the sailors refused
to come on deck. The police boarded
the schooner and forcibly removed the
men.
Previous to this action Admiral Bed
ford had consulted with United States
Consul General Foster about the mat
ter Mr.. Foster thought that the ma
rines had better not go on board of the
vessel, but gave his consent for the
civil police to take the sailors.
In compliance with the consul's
wishes none Of the marines boarded the
Mist The two sailors will be court
martialed on the flagship Crescent.

The Bi-tentemnial.

Contrary to what is perhaps the COM
mon belief, the Yale bicentennial will
not commemorate the actual founding
Of the college. Two hundred years ago
the institution was incorporated Then
it received it's charter and a grant from
the legislature of sixty pounds year;
and it is this formal establishment
which is to be celebrated.
But there was a beginning made
earlier than 1701. The details Of this
first chapter of Yale's history are some
what obscure There are many de-
@lightful traditions. There are some
verified facts. But all the story, in
complete as it is, serves as vehicle
for the continued expression of spirit
which infused into Yales life at It's
outset and enduring through all her
history, has helped not little In max
ing the place what 1t is
AS early as 1647, when New Haven
Colony was still struggling for exist
ence, land was offered to the authori-
ties for a school reservation, and steps
were taken by a few public spirited
citizens led by Rev. John Davenport
toward raising an endowment fund.
oilc Cdu SutSS ctt lliC otNiiiiSNs' 49, ''-SA-
of those days made, one can but ap-
plaud the quality so near heroism IN
their hearts which enabled them at
last to make up sum sufficient to real
ize their ambition. To know how keen
ly the colony desired the school and
to read that 1t required eight years to
secure 9540 pounds is full of meaning.
There was something in the steadiness,
in the fine ideality of these poor colon
lists which has been worth to Yale, the
descendant of that first New Haven
school, more than many millions.
About the later part of Yale's earliest
history clings a good deal of the same
fine feeling. The actual projection of
the college which was to be the final
realization of New Haven's cherished
plan involved degree of sacrifice on
the part of the first founders we'll worth
preserving as it is in one of the col
lege's dearest traditions. To create a
fund for the new collegiate school,
was imperative. A foundation Of some
sort was necessary. And Yale OF to-day
likes to remember that at the meeting
of the ten clergymen who composed its
first board of trustees those present
gave to the fund what meant to them
even more than the money they all
lacked. Yale of to-day holds In loving
veneration what will be one of the
least conspicuous of the bi-centennial
exhibits. She Is pround of the fact
that Pierson, Pierpont and their fellows
dipped into their Libraries and con-
tributed or pledged each few books.
They could give no more than what was
part of their chief treasure.
The so-called yale spirit is no new
thing. Rather it was lived out in its
fullest expression two hundred years
ago and more.
