IVY POEM.

THE CLASS DAY EXERCISES OF THE CLASS OF
1901, AT AMHERST COLLEGE.
face
OF nature fraught with grandest beauty is
the place
For which these years have taught us love;
these grand old hills
Immersed in summers splender send indy
ing thrills
Within each mothers son; these fields and
walks and vales
Enwrapped with precious years of toll, have
woven tales
or sorrow.-yes, of Joy. These last few COL
lege days
Amid old loved surroundings let us spend in
praise.
We plant our ivy here Torn from its quiet
birth
Amid kind woodland scenes. and set in direst
dearth
OF former friends, ithas been plucked by I'M
thinking hands
To grace this day and place. How sadly mute
it stands!
Tomorrow it will rise and minding not the
toll,
Nor friends now lost and gone, present an
ived wall
Till then but BARE gray stone. Does it no
service then?
Yes, yes. 1t fills higher nobler, grander
end.

L woke and found that life was not a dream
The many varied forms, the changing hues,
The moods from grave to gay, and CAV to
grave
Dame Nature shows her sons give us Il glow
Transportation never found within
The fairy fantasies OF dreams. IT'S real,
The world we live in; filed, o'erflowing with
The glorious handiwork OF God. Divine

another case of man making fool or
himself for greed and killing the goose

developed, must take hold Of this

site of the Indian massacres have been
dedicated and poems and orations have
been given in honor of the heroes Of

people and old memories were revived.

The government has taken up the
matter and Secretary Long has ap-
pointed Court of Inquiry with Ad-

meet at Washington on September IL
and make an investigation as to the
whole affair. 1t is one of the unpleas-

spectacle as we'll as endangers the
lives of the common soldiers. Too
often disaster overlook the Union

quarreling generals.

The OUTLOOK.

The Hot The extreme heat Of
Wave. this summer which has
prevailed at times has made life to be
burden to great many people. But
it has been more than that. 1t has
brought death to a large number Of
little children and to those whose
powers of resistance were not equal to
the struggle. A few figures are very
suggestive. In New York City 800
people died in one week from the heat
and twice as many more were pros
trated. BY actual count in Is OF our
largest cities one heat wave cost the
lives Of 5000 people. Evidently the
people in the country do not appreci-
ate their privileges. 1t has been sug-
gested that to alleviate the suffering
in our cities ice water should be fur
nished free, the streets should be fire.
quently sprinkled and roof gardens
should be maintained where the poor
could sit evenings and get breath of
fresh air. Also in close and narrow
streets it has been advocated that
electric fans should be run to purify
the air. Much needs certainly to be
done for the alienation Of the suffer
ing in our cities on the hot days and
nights.
Free Postmaster General
Rural Delivery. Smith has issued an
order forbidding the free rural delivery
carriers from becoming the agents OF
mercantile establishments and of ex-
press companies. 1t appears that some
of the whiskey firms were sending
liquor out to prohibition districts and
the mail carrier became perambula-
ting gin mill. This is contrary to all
the best interests Of the country and
the government has done well to stop
the abuse before it gets we'll entrench
ed in the system. 1t is another evil
dence of how alert the saloon power is
to take all foul or fair means to get
their wares before the public.

Don't tell the world your greatest pains;
With mutfied beat lull them to slumber,
Where oblivion slackens sorrows chains.

With no tear to lend, no sigh to spare,
And oft misery upfills to the brim,
And doubles every whitening care.

veloped in this age of the world it is
said that the father of the late Jacob
Rogers founded the Rogers locomotive
works on a capital of fifty dollars.
When the son died recently he left a
fortune Of seven million dollars and
has been for some years giving en-
ployment to 10000 people in Paterson,
N. J. 1t is quite jump from $50 to
$1,000, 600, but our modern industries
are calling for large capital and large
number of hands to do the work. Ex-
pensive machinery is also one of the
necessities of mercantile life to-day
and man does only one part in the
building of a locomotive.
Census BY the census report it
Reports. appears that the rate of
increase for the country from 1890 to
1900 was Fl per cent. The larger cities
are not growing as fast as the smaller
ones and the charms of the country
are appealing to people to settle there
more than formerly. Sixty-two per
cent of the population still live in the
country and the trolley lines are ex-
tending the suburbs of the city and
preventing the congesting of popula-
lation in crowded tenement houses.
The country will be more safe and
stable as people own home of their
own and dig in the dirt once in a
while.

Drinking The New York World
Habits. is authority for the
statement that drinking is becoming
common vice among society women
in New York. They drink at their
meals, at their women's clubs and
some of them drink openly with the
men. An intoxicated woman is a sad
sight and We may we'll fear that the
nation is going to smash if the women
of the land become drunkards. They
will curse their own age and the age
that is to come after it.

whether with her willy ways she will
not find some way to evade the pay

And flew with SwiftnesS of the wind
To kiss the sky o'erhead.
AND on Its upward course 1t blaZed
A pathway to the moon and raised
A monument Of red,
"Ah," sighed the rose, could I but fly
I'd leave my imprint on the sky
Ere close OF troubled day;
I'd cut path Of brightest hue
To yOn vast field of virgin blue,
And shake dull earth away"
And then the rocket, having spent
It's strength. began Its swift descent
Or so the story goes;
Its blackened wreck fell down beside
tOh, would I were the rose"

That We may soar to greater things
To mighty deeds of worth;
And when we've had our little fiy
And bumped our features on the sky
We tumble back to earth.

TRANSATLANTIC LINERS BROUGHT THIRTY
THOUSAND MORE CABIN PASSENGERS
THAN IN 1899

The transatlantic passenger traffic between
this port ana Eur in 1900 showed a marked
increase over that of several previous years. A
table published yesterday by William c. Moore
the landing agent of the immigration Bureau
showed that 1871 $50 cabin and 4OS 491 steerage
passengers were landed at this port in 1900 by
twenty regular steamship lines and a few unat-
tached steamers. The number Of cabin passen-
gers landed here in 1899 1O1. .415 and in 1898
S0,5S6. This increase of 10000 in two years was
undoubtedly due in part to the prosperity of the
country. The Paris Exposition. the desire Of
foreigners to visit this country and growing
commerce are also causes for the increased
travel to the United States
The figures for nearly every steamship line
show increase over last year. and the big
lires made large gains. The greatest gains were
made by the Hamburg-American and North
German Lloyd lines the owners of the big
record breaking passengers steamers Deutsch-
land and Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. These
lines brought 23.219 cabin and 653s4 steerage
and % $50 cabin and "a, ,69S steeTage passengers,
respectively. No other single line carried half
the number Of steerage passengers brought by
either of these two lines.
The Cunard Line brought 10000. the American
Line 16.435 and the White Star Line 14.94S
cabin passengers. These four lines transported
nearly one hundred thousand Of the 1882
cabin passengers who came The number OF
steerage passengers landed here in 1899 was
3O3. .762. In 1898 il was 219.651. Nearly all OF
these were immigrants.
