HARLAN IN THE FRAY.
Giant Supreme Court Justice QueiIs
n College Boys Riot.

College Boys Riot.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 23-Justice
Harlan, of the United States supreme
court, who is member Of the faculty of
the Columbia University Law School, in
this city, last night interfered and pre-
vented a class fight between the freshmen
and sophomores. Justice Harlan is q
giant i'll stature and although sixty-nine
years Of age. he is still vigorous and ac-
tive, golf being one of his daily exercises.
The youngsters were no match for aim
when he entered the arena.
The anticipated contest was the result
of the announcement of the freshmen
class that it would hold its first meeting
last night in Jurisprudence Hall The
announcement acted as a challenge to the
sophomores to break up the meeting il
possible. After the regular lecture of the
evening the freshmen undertook to open
their meeting when the sophomores made
a charge against the door of the hall
At this point Justice Harlan appeared
and in commanding voice ordered the
combat to cea Sc. The sophomores paused
for a moment, but We're evidently not dis
posed to obey the order and they i'm
media tely began a second assault. 1t was
than that the eminent Jurist took a per-
sonai hand in the fray. He reached over
the heads of the assulting party and,
Selling the leader OF the forces by the
collar dragged him from the pile. The
jurist then directed the second-year men
to dispense, which was done.

Rabbi Calisch spoke in Beth Ahaba
Yesterday at the services of the

Benediction." He said in part that when
friends had assembled together for a
| Joyous reunion and the time for<separa-

of ou., religious family at the hearth

this feast Of conclusion comes as a
final injunction. q parting reminder and
blessing the occasion for an earnest
farewell word. For il has been said,
g IF thou shouldst bid thy friend fare
well;
If but for one day that farewell be,
Press thou his palm in thine,
How canst thou tell how far from thee
Fate or caprice may lead lis feet,
Ere that tomorrow comes?
Men have been known lightly to turn
the corner of the street,
".And days have come to months
And months to tagging years.

Unseen: Fate goeth. too

worlds dwell within the ia berndCle of
Gods al-encompassng protection, and
His guiding hand doth lead and guard
through ali the ages. But we are so tho
roughly familiar with the unerrinG pro-
cesses of nature, SO completely accus
toned to rely upon the inerrant movement
of cosuic life. that we forget the omn-
science that gave birth to their laws and
l,arnolias and the omnipotence that holds
the universe along the paths Of its end
lessly variant life. 1t is to jog our memo
ries that the festal week comes, to remind
us that al the achievements that man
has wrought for himself are most pitifuJIy
limited and Insignificant, compared with
the countless blessings that divine love
daily holds out to us. So let this thought
be taken as a guido for the coming year.
The approaching winter will mean diff
fercnt things to different people. To the
rich it signifies merely a change in the
method and place Of pleasures: but to the
poor, under the hard fuel conditions that
will obtain, it means increased suffering
and misery. The parting word of our festal
season to both rich and poor is a lesson
of love and faith.
Let the rich share their blessings and
thereby increase them: let the poor learn
to endure with fortitude, knowing that
even the struggles of life are lifcs en-
ricling power.
