MASSACHUSETTS NOTES.
Mount Hermon School Endowment
Fund.

The annual statement of the con
tributions to the old students endow-
ment fund of Mount Hermon has just
been issued by Prof. Charles e. Dick
erson, chairman of the old students
committee. II is estimated that to
meet the running expenses of the
school 1t Is necessary to have an en-
dowment of $1,000,000. Already a
quarter of a million is available for
current expenses, not reckoning the
income of the school property, with a
valuation of little less than 100000.
The plan of endowment has hitherto
been by small contribution from many
people, and not from the large gifts
OF any one person. During the 20
years of it's existence there have been
between 5000 and 1000 students en-
rolled for one term or more at Mount
Hermon, and when the plans for rails
ing the endowment were formed it
was planned that the old students
raise S50,000 toward the fund. Thus
far the response has been very graft
flying. By the last report of the com
mittee over $4,000 has been sub
scribed by 357 men. This makes the
average per man over $27. Large con-
tributions have also been made by
classes and by the alumni clubs scat
tered throughout the country. There
is every prospect that the amount at
present set for the old students en-
dowment fund will be completed by
the 25th anniversary of the school.
The trustees at a recent meeting pass
ed resolutions appreciative of the way
in which the call on the young alumni
had been received.
The commencement at Mount
Hermon will begin Saturday. April
10, at 2 p. m, with the class day ex-
ercises, followed by the principals
reception at 4:30. and the Allen prize
defamation contest at 1880 Rev.
Dr. Scofield will preach the com
mencement sermon Sunday at 10:3 80.
Communion service will be observed
at 3, and the graduating class will
conduct the meeting of the Y. NJ. c. A.
at 1880. On Monday the annual meet
ing of the alumni association will be
held at 9. and the commencement ex-
ercises at II a. m, when Rev Arson
Phelps Stokes, jr., of New York will
deliver an address.

r. DEWITT TALMAGE DEAD.
turer and Author, Who Was Con-
spicuous 80 Years.

Rev. Thomas Dewitt Talmage, 70
the noted Presbyterian clergyman
lecturer and author, died Saturday
night at his home in Washington
from Inflammation of the brain
brought on by overwork. He was born
in Bound Brook, N. j., graduated from
the University of New York, studied
law, and then turned to the ministry
After pastorates in Bellville, n. j.,
and Syracuse, N. Y, he went to Phila-
delphia, where his sensational meth
DDS attracted immense congregations.
He went in 1872 to Brooklyn, and
for years hundreds and thousands of
people fiocked to hear. Three i'm
mense tabernacles, one seating 5000
people were erected for him to preach
in, and eventually all three were des-
troyed by fire. Several years ago he
went to Washington, where he
preached four years as. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, resigning
three years ago to engage exclusively
in religious journalism and the more
general work in the cities" For 80
years he occupied the most conspic-
uous place perhaps of any preacher in
the United States. Thousands heard
him preach and millions read his ser
mons which appeared in newspapers
all over the world. He edited the
Christian at Work, Frank Leslie's
Sunday Magazine, the Christian Her
aid and Advance. He was also the
author of not less than so books and
devoted much time to lecturing. His
salary as church preacher was $4,000
a year, he received $500 a night for
lecture, and his literary work
brought him large returns. He &C.
cumulated fortune of $3500O0. His
diction was of a striking, fiorid style;
he was word colorist rather than a
great thinker; he was an actor, a
posturer; but he had in marked
degree the faculty of drawing crowds
and commanding attention

President Roosevelt has given en-
phatic notice of his purpose to press
in the Senate for the confirmation of
the nomination of Capt. William Gro
zier to be chief of ordnance with the
rank Of brigadier general. This
means that fight will be precipitated
between the administration and the
Senate committee on military affairs,
which may even extend to the Senate,
and which, in any event, will be far
reaching in its effect. not only upon
the army. but upon matters relating
to the Philippines, which are under the
control Of the war department, and
other questions of Importance to the
administration. Capt. Crozier's nomi-
nation was due to the desire of the
President and Secretary Root to place
young man at the head OF the
ordnance department in order to bring
about its reorganization. This action
was looked upon as revolutionary by
the older officers of the army. Since
1874 it has been customary to pro-
mote the senior colonel to be brigadier
general when a vacancy occurred, and
departure from this custom was GER
tainly not relished by the officers of
the ordnance or any other staff de
partment

chlcaao's Detachable Food.

Chicago has a new embarrassment,
the precise extent of which could not
be determined before some of the
recent investigations of the Pure Food
commission were complete. Now 1t
is found that over $4,000 MANNED,
crippled, and diseased beasts are
slaughtered in the town each year,
and that much of this flesh is sent
to market, either as beef or as corned
beef. In the course of an inquiry as
to volume and character of the traffic,
the assistant Pure Food commissioner
found no less than fifteen receiving
stations where the WORKOUT beasts
were collected at cost of 81 to 500
each, and whence they we're either
the outskirts of the town The hides
of the animals are sold for the making
of leather, the hoofs go back to the
rendering establishment. but the flesh
after being cut up is packed away
until nightfall 1t is current report
in Chicago that from the gates of the
main killing-station numbers of butch
er-carts are nightly driven away, APP
parently with full loads. Grave
doubts are beginning to fill the minds
of the citizens as to whether the
prime beef which they are eating
from day to day is really beef or pos
sibly only horse-meat. An added
trouble is the fact that the slaughter
of horses is quite within the pale of
the law, while neither the local nor
the Federal regulations provide any
system for inspecting the meat so OBJ
tanned.

The third Wade Hampton was a law
yer, AZ years old, serving as state
senator, when the civil war broke
out. Enlisting as a private, after
opposing the ordinance of secession,
he was soon in command of
Hampton Legion. a dare devil cavalry
regiment. His services were con
spicuously recognized, and he was pro-
NOTED to be a brigadier general and
later lieutenant general, having
command of all Lees cavalry at one
time. His record throughout the war
was brilliant. He incurred unpopu-
larity at home after the war by urg-
ing his old friends and comrades to
forget animosities and to make the
best of their position. He was elect
ed governor of South Carolina in 1876,
was reelected. and at the close of
his term went into the United States
Senate. where he remained until he
was succeeded by Kirby, Farmers
Alliance candidate, in 1891. He was
a general favorite in the Senate, and
was a warm personal friend of Sena-
tor Edmunds.
