DECENN|AL RE-
UNION At GOD
DARD THIS
Year

Ten years ago the coming June q
grand reunion of the alumni and
friends'of Goddard Seminary was held
In this city and 1t was the most nota.
Bile gathering In the history of the in.
stitution.
At that ii ne it was voted to hold a
similar celebration every tenth year.
Consequently the class OF 1902, which
graduates this year, will be equally
fortunate with the class of 1892 in
witnessing the coming together OF
those, who although In distant parts
OF the country, still cherish love for
their Alma Mater.
1t is expected that there will be
large representation from every class
that has graduated at Goddard during
the 80 years of its existence. There
will also be many noted men who are
friends of the school and they will
take part in the exercises as feature
of the occasion.
1t will be held at the coming Com.

PRINCE OF WALES
MAY VISIT US

NEW YORK, April 5.-There Is the
highest authority for the statement
that the Chamber of Commerce of New
York will invite the Prince of Wales
to attend the dedication of its new
home in August or September. Nego-
tiations of a semi-official kind have
been under way for the last two
months, but nothing definite will be
known until May OF June.
AS a matter of fact, no formal In
yitation has yet been sent to the PRINCE
of Wales. in spite of statements to the
contrary; but 1t is not too much to say
at this time that such an invitation
would be forwarded with every pros
pect of its acceptance.
The matter has not been taken up oy
the diplomatic representatives OF the
United States in London, save In the
sense that Ambassador Choate happens
to be the close personal friend Of Pres
ident Morris K. Jessup and other lead
ing members Of the Chamber of Com

dispatch to the Herald. The entire
royal family shrink from the bare idea

But the only person who really
counts and has direct influence is the
king. This monarch has ever subordi-
mated his private desires and senu-
ments to the policy of the interests OF
his country. In the present case he
has acted as he has always done. His
feelings are repugnant to the sale, but
patriotism, the calls of a politico-eco-
nomic convenience and the overwhelm-
ing vote of the F'oIkthing have caused
the king to side with the people. In
spite of mis- personal sentiments and
those of his entire family he is for the
sale and has given his approval.

a first duty of all good Republicans, no

that it would be wise to permit any one
