CLEVELAND is HONORED.
Degree Of Doctor of Jurisprudence
Ora nted ky Auaustine College.

Degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence
Granted by Augustine College.
Philadelphia, June 17.-For the first
time in the United States the honorary
degree of doctor of jurisprudence was
conferred today at Augustinian Col
lege, st. Thomas, of Villanova. The re-
cipient was Former President Cleve-
land, who had already had the degree
OF LII. D. conferred by Princeton Uni
versity. Cleveland spoke briefly.
Mr.. Cleveland expressed his appre-
citation of the honor conferred upon him
and continuing said: This incident
prominently suggests to my mind the
imperious edict of education which for
bids the hindrance or disturbance of it's
high mission by religious discrimina
ton. Social in tolerance or any of the
barriers that to a greater or less ex
tent separates civilized humanity. The
republic of education is based upon the
identical aim, equal rights in it's op-
portunity and impartiality in distribu-
ton of its reward and honors
This, it seems to me, is impressively
illustrated when the severely Catholic
college of ST. Thomas, of Villanova, be-
slows its highest honorary degree upon
one connected with the management
and holding a honorary degree in Sc
Vcrely protestant Princeton University.
The processes of education, as they
exist in this country of ours have. or
always should have, in addition to other
characteristics especial harmony of
purpose and design as they are related
to our government. and this should con-
Tearing bond of close fraternity.
Whatever other objects and purposes
may be involved in educational efforts
among US, one of It's constant and
prominent aims should be the cultiva-
uon ana maintenance of a hight stand
ard OF American citizenship. When we
recall the fact that the beneficence of
our scheme of government depends nm
on the virtue of education of the units
Of our citizenship it is at once apparent
that an important and common dutv
rests upon every agency that under
takes the instruction of the voutb of
our land"
IL VIII be a sad day for our nation
when the forces of education and
teachers of moral living shall cease 10
strive in unity to leaven the entire
mass of our cit;zership or when their
influence in that direction shall be di-
Vided and eircumscribed by RELIGIOUS
and sectarian differences"
The ex-prcsdent then addressed the
graduates, pointing out some duties
and responsibilities they ar> enterns
upon and concluded as follows. "You
may be sure that you will fail to meet
these obligations If you are not con-
stantly and solemnly impressed with
the conviction that your educational
are only valuable as they
better fit you to do your duty to your
GOD, your country and your fellow
men

MATHEMATICS, EYES ON COUNT.
Affairs of Heart May Have Caused La
faYette to Return to ST. Louis.

ST. Louis June 1.-THE sudden re-
turn to ST. Louis of Count de Lafay-
ette. who spent several days in the city
as one of the Rochambeau party, has
given rise to the rumor that it is an
affair of the heart principally that
caused this step on the part of the
dashing Partisan.
The count left the Rochambeau party
suddenly at Cincinnati Saturday, and
on reaching this city took apartments
at the Planters Hotel, where he has
since declined to see visitors, altho
many cards have been sent in.
The night of the Rochambeau recep-
tion at the st. Louis Club a tall blonde
of majestic bearing is said to have
monopolized the counts attention. The
two conversed for long time, and it
was particularly noticed that the lady
spoke French with fluency. Those who
witnessed the tete-atete say the count
appeared scarcely to see any lady save
the one with the golden tresses and
eyes of violet Acquaintances said the
couple met several months ago at
social function in Paris
