YALE IN HER GLORY.

Xy ITH stately ceremona1s with classic ora
M tions and with generous bestowal Of hon
ors Yale is celebrating the two hundredth
anniversary of her foundation. For time the stu
dent body is lost sight Of the football players have to
go way back and sit down. while the scholars and the
dgntaries of the university hold the attention of the
public
The festival has been made the occasion for
gathering of scholars from all parts of the world.
Delegates from thirty foreign universities and from
I25 American institutions are among the disting-
uished guests and notable in the number is DR..
Booker Washington, the negro who has made for
himself an honored place among the foremost educa

welcome to her guests responses made by Proes

burg, for the universities of Continental Europe;
President Eliot of Harvard for the universities of the
Eastern States; President Dabney of the University
of Tennessee for the universities of the Southern
States and President Harper Of Chicago for the uni
versities of the West. 1t will be perceived Yale has
not yet learned that Chicago is the West OF this
country that, in fact it distance east of the
center; but that error we trust will not long con-
tnue In the absence OF any genuine Western repre-
sentative just well satisfied to be repre-
sented by President Harper as by any other Eastern

co1umBrA LED BUT WIND FAILED

NEw YoRK, September 26. Even
though the opening contest for the
Americas cup resulted in fuke, due
to reluctant winds, the tens Of thousands
Of Americans who witnessed the event
are happy tonight because they believe
they saw enough to convince them that
the international trophy is safe, and that
Columbia, the unconquered defender Of
two years ago, is still the queen of the
Yachting realm, the veritable gem Of the
ocean.
One of the biggest crowds that ever
put to sea went down to the Sandy Hook
Lightship to-day to witness the race
between Sir Thomas Lipton's second
| challenger, Shamrock II. and the white
flyer which successfully defended the
old Americas cup against his first trophy
hunter. The excursion feet returned
disappointed, but jubilant all the same,
and eager for another test between the
/ international rivals. The great single
stickers went out this morning fresh
for the battle, but the sea refused them
a field of conflict. The wind, never
more than nine, and sometimes as low as
three. knots, was too light and shifty to
| carry the contestants over the thirty
mile course in the time allotted by the
rules. At the end of five and hall
hours, the prescribed time, the race was
officially declared off, and the yachts
were towed back to their berths inside
Sandy Hook. When the gun aboard the
committee boat was fired to call atten-
ton to the signal declaring the race off,
the American yacht was still five miles
from the finish line. The Shamrock
was well astern of her, the experts es-
timating her distance behind the Column
bia at over quarters OF a mile.

The trial of the assassin OF

was arraigned on Monday, a jury
secured on Tuesday and on We'd
nesday verdict of ''guilty OF
murder in the first degree" was
brought in. This verdict carries
with it death in the electrical
chair and that sentence was i'm
posed on Thursday. While short,
the trial was marked by all the
formalities of law, the court re-
fusing to accept his confession
Of guilt and appointing an
able counsel to defend him. This
duty was repugnant to the two
ex-Judges but was performed to
the best of their ability. No evi-
dence was offered in defence,
Judge Lewis confirming the case
to his address to the jury. Ask
ing them to consider well the
question of the prisoners sanity.
Czolgosz himself has broken
down and in place of his air OF
bravado, be is compelled to keep
still in order to save showing his
wreck. He may before his death,
disclose the names of his compan-
ions cin crime, for there must
have been more than one, as it
would be almost impossible for
one man to wrap his hand in the

THE cnMprRoLLERs VETO

County Comptroller Kelley
refused to approve certain bills
against the county and returned
them to the Levy Court on
Tuesday last with his reasons
for the action. Of these bills
two were from Messrs. ]. & j.
N. Harman of Wilmington, one
for draping the Court House
amounting to $872.75 and the
other for sundry items among
them 100 yards linoleum at $2 so
per yard. Every one in the
county thinks it a proper thing
to show respect to our late Pres
ident, but it is very expensive
when it costs nearly $1,000.
AS to linoleum, the best grades
can be bought at any store
in Wilmington, dealing in
that class Of goods at $1.25 or
$3.50 per yard. The other bills
vetoed were from Justice Of the
Peace Daley and Constable
Smith in which they charge for
committing and taking to jail one
man seven times in one day.
These bills were referred to a
committee for investigation, but
the Harman bills were ordered
paid over the Comptrollers veto.
The question naturally arises,
'If the county must pay $3.50 for
S1.50 worth Of linoleum, who
gets the extra $1.00"?

SILVER RUN ROAD

On Tuesday, September Sd, il
was reported to the Levy Court
that certain repairs were neces.
sary to the Silver Run road in
order to save the $25, 900 already
expended in it's construction. II
was certain that this extra work
would cost more than $500 and
Mr.. Armstrong was instructed
to advertise for bids. This he
did, but on account of his trip to
the Pan-American Exposition,
the bids were not opened until
last Tuesday. In the meanwhile,
Mr.. Fahey the contractor for
putting up the sheathing at the
road, who was bidder for the
new contract, but who did not
know or should not have known,
that he was the lowest bidder,
went ahead and did the work.
Mr.. Armstrong admits telling
Mr.. Fahey in a letter that he
could go ahead with the repairs
sif he saw fit." This is a delib.
crate violation of the law, and ii
is hoped that the Attorney-Gen-
eral may take cognizance of it
The investigation SO far has not
resulted in any open action, but
on the contrary has seemed tc
give encouragement to the com.
bine. 1t may be that Mr.. Ward

NO STATEMENT TO MAKE

The prisoner began to speak. He
spoke SO low he could scarcely be heard.
Judge Titus was obliged to repeat it SEN
tence by sentence, SO that the court
might hear.
81 have nothing to say" whispered
Czolgosz to his counsel.
Judge Titus-I think he ought to be
permitted to make statement in excul-
patton of his family.
Turning to the prisoner again, Judge
Titus held brief conference. Turning
to the court, counsel for the defendant
said: ''He says no other person had any
thing to do with it; that no other parson
knew of his commission but himself.
His father or mother or any one else
knew nothing about it.
The prisoner closed his lips, stared
straight ahead of him and awaited the
courts pronouncement of his doom.
The sentence was brief.
"Czolgosz," said the court, "you have
committed grave crime against the state
and our Union in the assassination of our
beloved president. After learning all
the facts and circumstances in the case
twelve good men have pronounced you
guilty of murder in the first degree.
You say that no other person abetted
you in the commission of this terrible
act. The penalty is fixed by statute, and
it becomes my duty to impose sentence
upon you. The sentence of the court il
that in the week beginning October 2Sth,
at the place designated and in the man
ner prescribed by law, you suffer the
punishment of death.
Czolgosz stood erect, looking straight
at the judge.
He did not trenlbis nut muscle
quiyered. As soon as the death SEN
tence was finished lie took his -e.t in the
same Indifferent manner that has char
acterized him throughout the trial.
