Princeton and many m are on it
that do not belong in Princeton's ex-
elusive society. Mrs. Cleveland belongs
to the charitable societies and takes a
personal interest in their work. She
visits sick neighbors and takes an ac-
tive interest in everything hat goes
on.
She is as charming as When she went
to the white house a bride.
She devotes most Of her time to her
household. her three girls, Ruth, Es-
Their, Marion, and her boy Dick. Dick
is now two years old. The girls are
cared fer by a governess. The quiet
life is as much to Mrs. Cleveland's
taste as it is to that of her husband.
She was first to fall in love with
Princeton and suggested it as a future
home. She had gone to Princeton with
Mr.. Cleveland, when he was to speak
at the sesquicentennial. She was i'm
pressed by the quiet, dignifed air Of
the town and wanted to go there to
live. The idea pleased Mr.. Cleveland
and he bought his present home from
Mrs. Slidell. His lectures at Princeton
are a feature of the university. His
grave illness threatened a ~long-cher-
lshed plan Of the Princeton people.
They are looking forward to the in
stitution of a big law department, over
which he will preside.

There is being erected on the corner
Of Ontario and Howard streets, a
church which is the first of its kind
to be established in Philadelphia. 1t
will be known as the First Church of
the Latter Day Saints, and here will
worship the followers of Joseph Smith
and believers in the Book of Mormon.
Reverend w. E. La Rue and Elder
George w. Robley administer jointly
to the spiritual welfare of a congre-
cation of over 100 persons. The new
church is an imposing edifce of stone
and brick which cost $1,000 to erect
and which will comfortably seat 500
persons. The p2stor expects the con-
gregation to doubIe numbers this

doctrines and all who follow them
were at first severely condemned by
the cloth and the laiety of this city,
those who listen to the faith set forth
by Mr.. La Rue find very little to cen
sure, many Of the principles being
strictly orthodox.
The members of the congregation,
although they adhere to the doctrines
Of Joseph Smith, have little or nothing

Utah. They look upon the teachings
Of Brigham Young as a deflement Of

Professor Eric Doolittle of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, in his recent
public lecture on Double Star Astron-
Omy'' introduced a very clever and
useful representation of the compara-
tive size of Il solar system. He said
that if a globe two feet in diameter be
taken to represent the sun the earth
on the same scale would be represent
ed by a very small pea, placed in a
circular path 90 feet distant from it.
The moon would be the same minia-
ture system be represented by a shot
moving about the pea and six inches
from it. There would be seven other
particles revolving about the large
globe, the seven other planets, but
these are not considered in the model.
but, then ONE the ~inconceivable mag
nitude of the heavens, the nearest fixed
star would be represented by another
large globe placed 5000 miles away.

GALLANT oFFIoER RETIRED

Rear Admiral Lewis Wood Robin
son, who was recently retired from the
navy, has probably seen as much act
tive service at sea as any man in the
navy.
He was graduated from the Poly
technic College of Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia, in June, 1861, from the
course of civil engineering, and in 1864
received from the same institution the
degree Of Mechanical Engineer.
On September q, 1861, he entered
the United States navy as third as
sistant engineer. He participated in
the capture of Forts Jackson and st.

suggest that had she called in any

A seventy-foot car on the Berlin
