HONORED
NOTABLE TRIBUTE TO IL REV. DIR.
EDWARD EVERETT HALE.
His Birthday the Occasion of N CeIe-
bratiOn at Boston and an Ora
ton by Senator HOar.

BOSTON, April 3.-In recognition of his
long, busy and fruitful life as journalist.
theologian, philanthropist and man of let
ters several thousand of Boston's leading
citizens gathered in Symphony Hall to-
night TO honor Rev. Edward Everett Hale,
d. D.. and congratulate him on attainment
of his eightieth birthday. The gathering
was a notable one, nearly every sect and
race in the city being represented. The
evening was devoted to three anthems of
praise, an eloquent Grafton by Senator
George Frisbie Hoar and a response by the
chief parsonage of the occasion.
One OF the pleasing features connected
with the celebration, but which did not fig
ure in the evening programme. was the
presentation TO DIR. Hale of a substantial
sum of money which he found upon his re-
turn home from Symphony Hall.
The evenings exercises began with the
singing. by the Cecilia Society, of Caesar
Franck's arrangement of the o~ne-hundred-
and fftieth psalm. The audience then
joined in a number of sentences of respon-
sive reading, and this was followed by
Gounod's anthem, Send Out Thy Light"
After Senator Hoar's address of greeting
and congratulation Peter Cornelius's grand
finale TO the opera of The Barber of Bag
dad" the "Salamaleikum" chorus end
ing with the words, Live till your
thousandth year in fame" was then
sung by the society, after which
DR.. Hale expressed his thanks for the
generous welcome. Put yourself in my
place. he said. Il am to do something
which i have all along advised young men
not TO do, and that is TO talk about myself.
1t would seem for a moment as if we must
look backward and not forward" DIR. Hale
then spoke briefly of his early life and said
that he was urged to enter the navy when
a young man, then to take a position in a
large mandatory of bricks, and finally he
learned the printing business. He could not
tell why 1t was that he had entered the
life of a minister. DIR. Hale then deftly
turned the thoughts of the audience from
himself 10 the work of the ministry and
finally toward the future and the great OPP
portunity of mankind in the present cen
tury. He closed with the words: Each is
to live for all and all are to live for each
other"
Two interesting letters were read by Sen
ator Hoar, one from President Roosevelt
and another from Senator Lodge. The
evening exercises closed with the singing
by the entire audience of the old familiar
hymn "St. Martins" and the benediction
by DR.. Hale.

Pharmaceutical Juniors kidnapped.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, April 3.-Otto Shaaf.
Of Fort Wayne, and Charles Reed. of Win
chester, two members of the Purdue junior
pharmacy class, were kidnapped by ten
other members of the class last night for
refusing to remain away from the senior
pharmacy class commencement. The two
pharmics were taken forcibly from a hack
i'm which they were driving with two girl
companions to attend the exercises. The
seniors, in inviting the juniors TO the grad
uating exercises, specified that the latter
would not be allowed on the first floor, but
must sit in the balcony. This the juniors
regarded as an insult. and the members
of the class agreed TO remain away. Shaaf
and Reed, however, determined to go, re-
gardless of the action of the class. They
invited their sweethearts and in a hack
the four were speeding across the Wabash
river bridge. at Main street. when the
horses were halted by a number of dis
guised students and Shaaf and Reed were
captured. The girls screamed, but the cap
tors bound their victims hand and foot
and loaded them into another hack stand
ing near by. They were then taken ten
miles into the country and compelled to
walk home. The girls were escorted to
the exercises by a ~self-appointed commit
tee from the kidnapping party.

New England Farmer.
The most tiresome woman on earth is
the woman who is continually talking
about herself and her family affairs. And
no matter how badly you hate to listen to
her, no matter how you writhe in spirit
and wish her at the bottom Of Salt lake,
you nave got to listen to her and pretend
10 be interested. And you are under an
obligation, for politeness's sake, tc put in
the obs and Abs" and the well. l
declares" in the right places.
You can't escape her any more than you
can escape death and taxes. And you need
not attempt TO knock her off the track by
introducing some topic of your own, for she
will not allow il. She knows what she
wants to tell. and she is going TO tell it.
You can ~interpOlate something about your
self, but the instant you stop TO catch
breath she viii go right on with the main
question, just as if you were in British
Columbia.
To her there is nothing in the world of
so much consequence as herself and her
affairs. She viii tell you how she makes
gingerbread, and how she stirs up ~fritters.
and how she sews buttons on Johnny
knee pants, and how much she pays for
steak, and where she buys it. and how she
likes her baked beans cooked, and what
her husband says about the butter. and
what she replies, and what all the children
say on the same subject.
Generally she is a woman who has dis
eases of some kind, and always has them
much worse tnan any Olntr person ever
dreamed OF having them. Apparently she
has patented and copyrighted and trade
marked all her diseases. for she speaks OF
my" cough and my rheumatism and
my" dyspepsia; and let her once get upon
that subject there is no limit to it's posi-
bilities. She will give you the most minute
particulars as 10 how she was taken, and
how the sickness progressed, and what the
doctor said. and what the nurse said, and
how the remedies operated. and the whole
thing will be so wildly described that you
almost have lumhagO in your back and YER
tigO I'm your head 10 listen 10 her.
And when she comes into your house she
declares that she can't stop a minute, but
she will stay till sunset, most likely. and
then will be unutterably surprised to sec
how late IL is. And she will leave YOU with
regret and the comfortable assurance that
she will drop in some time soon and tell
you just how ii was that she got rid Of
her rheumatism

vor of Union Pickets.

BOSTON. April about 1900 workmen
employed In Boston breweries struck to-day
because of the refusal of the master brew
ers TO grant their demands for shorter
hours with the same wages as at present
and for certain other concessions. Twenty
four local breweries are affected. The
strikers are all members of brewery work
ers' unions and have the Endorsement of
the national organization. the Central La
Dor Union and other branches of organized
labor. In the event of any saloon keepers
ordering ~nonunion beer to be served it is
said a strike of the bartenders will imme-
diately follow. The Bartenders' Union
numbers nearly 1000 member in Boston
and vicinity.
The brewery employees have struck
against the master brewers proposition
that they shall hire only union men. but
that they shall be permitted to discharge,
without question from the union, any en-
ploye whom they see fit. The workmen
also demand an eight-hour work day and
50 cents an hour for overtime.

Democrats Would Give Cuba More
Concessions Than Proposed.

Concessions Than Proposed.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The first of the
minority reports on the Cuban reciprocity
bill was filed to-day by Representative
Mcclellan. Of New York. of the ways and
means committee, who argues that the bill
gives Cuba much less in the way of relief
than she is justly entitled to. He cites
the Teller resolution and the Platt amend
ment as establishing our assurances to
Cuba and the world. Mr.. Mcclellan then
says: ~ has imposed upon us an obli-
cation of our own assumption. the obliga-
ton to preserve Cuban Independence and
10 maintain a government adequate for the
protection Of life, property and individual
liberty. We are bound in honor as a ma
ton TO see 20 IL that economic conditions

plished. the government and control of the
Island Is TO be left TO its people. subject,
however, 20 the Plat amendment. Be
cause of that amendment we must make it
possible for the people of Cuba to govern
their island successfully"
Mr.. Mcclellan then reviews the sugar
situation in Cuba and in this country. He
sums up hrs position as follows: First,
the bill does not afford sucient relief to
Cuba. but it minimizes the loss of the pres
ent crop OF sugar second, IL is possible,
but not certain. that a 20 per cent. reduction
of the Cuban tariff will result i'm giving us
a monopoly of the Cuban markets: third.
the bill Is an enunciation OF the Democratic
doctrine of reciprocity. IL is a breach in the
