person would rush out of the line and up to the President there was never any hesitation on the part of the guard as to how he should be treated. Without any warning whatever the stranger would be grabbed and pushed back in the direction from which he came. The work of the secret service men in the crowd was harder, and if anything re- ouired more vigorous action. It was always their rule to first to ask the people to keep back and provide enough room for the President to move along comfortably. When this warning was disregarded the offenders would be grabbed and pushed back. Many of those anxious to catch glimpse of the President did not understand by what authority the four men in citizens clothing acted, and invariably wanted to argue the matter. The secret service men had no time for conversation. When a, husky stranger resisted being kept back he was promptly "slugged." It was vital for the guards to drop their man at single blow, so that every time a fist was drawn back it was aimed with the purpose of putting the victim out of business. The instant the unruly one was hit the guard moved on, so that it frequently happened that people two feet distant away never knew what had happened. The secret service men knew that it would be fatal to allow an opponent to engage them in anything like a struggle, so they made it a rule to get in the first blow and make it good one.
 President Roosevelt took a keen inter- est in the operations of his guard, and observed them in many fist fight in his behalf. Whenever necessary he al-

 The annual address of President Hadley was then delivered. It appears elsewhere.
 Announcement of prize awards was then made by the president. These an- nOuncements have already been made.
 The next number on the programme was the rendering of Edward Grieg Landkennung by male chorus, orches- tra and organ. The baritone solo was admirably rendered by Leonard San | ford Tyler, of this city.
 The presentation of degrees by Presi- dent Hadley was then made. There were given in course 691 degrees, a somewhat larger number than last year, distributed as follows: Bachelors of Arts, BIO; Bachelors of Philosophy, 13S; Bachelors of Fine Arts, 2; Bach elor of Music, 1; Bachelors of Laws. 69; Bachelors of Divinity. 29; Masters of Arts, 54; Masters of Laws, 6; Masters of Science, 2; Mechanical Engineer, 1; Masters of Forestry, 16; Doctors of Medicine, 27. and Doctors of Philoso- phy, 36, of whom four are women. Four of the Masters of Arts are Japanese. The recipient of the uncommon degree of Bachelor of Music is David Stanley Smith, Yale 1900. The two Bachelors of Fine Arts are Lucy P. T. Ingersoll and Edward P. Sterry.
 |, As the various candidates arose they were cheered to the echo. Colonel Pet tit, of the United States army, was sig nally welcomed.
 Rev. Lyman Abbott, of New York Surveyor General Alexander, of Ha- waii, Dr. Thacher and Judge George Gray were all heartily welcomed. Min ister Bowen was given a tremendous ovation, but to Professor William H Brewer, of the Sheffield Scientific school, the greatest ovation of the ex- ercises was given.
 It was fully two minutes before President Hadley was able to confer on him the degree and after taking his seat Professor Brewer was compelled tc bow his acknowledgement to the audi ence,

company the President on trips out of thoroughly. The men operate on reg ular system and each has specific duty to perform. They are charged with a great responsibility and beyond a cer- tain point will take no chances. They do not hesitate to resort to violence if necessary, and many pushing indivi- dual who ignored the commands of the secret service men missed seeing the President altogether through being tenn porarily out of commission.
 At many of the cities visited by the resident on the recent trip the local ar- engagements for keeping the crowd in check and providing for the comfort of the visitors were very poor. In certain instances there were practically no regulations for maintaining order what ever. When this condition was met the secret service men had their work cut out for them. It was their custom to form a cordon about the President as best they could with their limited num- bers, locking arms with each other when necessary in order to form human en- circling wall. The most trouble usually occurred when the President was get ting in or out of carriage. At such times he was brought into close contact with the crowd, and it was almost cer- tain that some one would make break for the carriage in order to force the President to shake hands. This seemed to be the purpose of most of the people who insisted on showing themselves to , the front.
 The secret service men had their faces scratched and bruised repeatedly by the flying arms of persons reaching out tc .l l.s.

THE PRESIDENTS GUARD.
They Earned Their Pay on the Western
 Jauut

The four secret service men who
 formed President Rosevelt's personal
 guard on his recent trip through the West had a strenuous time of it on the road. They received no end of knocks,
 bruises and scratches in performing their duty of protecting the President against the crushing mobs, of keeping enthusiastic but reckless admirers at a proper distance and knocking out ob- streperous individuals who refused to heed warnings to keep back.
 The members of the Presidents guard had no less than thirty hand- to-hand encounters with truly mobs and it be- came necessary for them to deliver knockout blows to about fifteen or twenty different persons. They are old hands at the business, and when the Presidents safety demanded it they thought no more of putting an aggres- sive and suspicious looking character to sleep than Jim Jeffries does of knock ing out an ambitious amateur.
 The men are the pick of the secret service, and each is a splendid athlete and a superb boxer. They always ac-

occasionally happened that the local authorities were unwilling to acknowl- edge the right of the four strangers to run things and sometimes this mis- understanding led to trouble. A case of this kind occurred at Los Angeles. AT mounted policeman of that city rode too 1 close to the residents carriage, and he was asked by one of the guard to n1oveS off little. The officer replied roughly that he would take orders from no one but his captain. Thereupon the secretS service man grabbed the horses bridle with the intention of leading the animal to one side. The officer made a vicious crack at him with his billy. At this point the President interfered. He hadS watched the whole proceeding. Lean ing out of his carriage and pointing hiss finger at the mounted policeman hes shouted:--<
 twill you take orders?"
 The officer said he would. Then, 's' returned the President vigorously, take orders from my guard. What that man says goes."
 Probably. the worst encounter the guard had was at Minneapolis. There the arrangements for keeping the crowd in control were miserable. The ropes were broken down and a rush made for the President. For ten minutes the four protectors of the President had their hands more than full and for the first time on the trip all of them had to draw their blackjacks. Several men were felled and several of the guard sustained severe knocks, but the Presi- dent was kept out of danger.
 At the conclusion of the trip the President thanked each member of his guard in person for the splendid work performed on the journey.--Wa arlington Letter to Brooklyn Eagle.

mencement for 1903 took place last eve ming in the Steinert room in the memo rial vestibule when the presidents an- nual reception was rendered to the graduates. President Hadley arrived promptly at o'clock and soon thereaf- ter the rotunda was thronged with a brilliant array of culture and fashion. The virgin white walls and perfection of illumination made the scene approx innate daylight. The large number of ladies in their handsome gowns added to the resplendency of the occasion. The many men prominent in affairs and the world of letters who were there ex- pressed their qualification and adnira- ton.

THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
The Gonferring of Honorary Degree

The Gonferring of Honorary Degrees
 and Degrees in Course-Minister Bowen and Professor Brewer Given
 Tremendous Ovations.
 Except minor changes in the features and route of the commencement process sion, which were announced in our is- sue of yesterday morning, the only inn portant variation yesterday was the transfer of the commencement exer- cises to the new and spacious Woolsey Auditorium, the great size of which was in striking and pleasant contrast with Battell chapel, and, earlier, Center church, where former commencements have been held. Despite the size of Woolsey hall, every seat was taken at the exercises and all the available standing room was occupied. Thirteen honorary degrees were conferred, the candidates being presented by Profess sor Perrin The list of those receiving honorary degrees appears in another part of this issue.
 The stage was occupied by President Hadley, ex-President Dwight, Secretary Stokes, the deans of the departments, members of the corporation and candi- dates for honorary degrees.
 The exercises opened with Prelude Choral and Fuge by the New Haven Symphony orchestra, under the direc- tion of Professor Parker. David Stan ley Smith, author of the prelude, pre- sided at the organ.

Married the Whole FAMILY,

John Newberry and Patsy Barron
were married at Tullahoma. Tenn.
the other day. About 35 years ago
Newberry married the widow Sallie
Barron, who was then the mother of
three daughters. Judy, Martha and
Patsy. Four years after the marriage
with the widow she died. A year later
he married Judy, the eldest daughter
of his deceased wife. In two years
Judy followed her mother to the grave.
He then took. unto himself Martha to
wife, who after living a number of
years, followed her sister and mother
to the grave. So the marriage last
week of Newberry and Patsy absorbs
the whole family of original Bar
rOms.

Optical Illusion,

When the eye is steadily occupied in
viewing any particular object or when
it takes fixed direction while the
mind is occupied with any engrossing
topic of speculation or of grief, it sud-
denly loses sight of, or becomes blind
to, objects seen directly. This takes
place whether we use one or both eyes,
and the object which disappears will
reappear without any change in the
position of the eye while other objects
will vanish and appear in succession
without any apparent cause. If a
sportsman, for example, is watching
with intense interest the motions of
one of his dogs his companion will van
ish, and the light of the heath or Of the
sky will close in upon the spot which
he occupied
In order to witness this illusion put
a little bit of white paper on a green
Sloth, and within three or four inches
If it place a narrow strip of white
paper. At the distance of twelve or
eighteen inches fix one eye steadily
upon the little bi. of white paper,
and in short time a part or
even the whole Of the strip of paper
will vanish as if it had been removed
from the green cloth. 1t will again ap-
pear and again vanish. the effect de-
pending greatly on the steadiness with
which the eye is kept fixed. This illu-
sion takes place when both eyes are
open, though it is easier to observe it
when one Of them is closed. The same
thing happens when the object is
luminous. When candle is thus seen
by indirect vision it never wholly dis
appears, but it spreads itself out in:o
a cloudy mass, the center of which Is
blue, encircled with a bright ring of
yellow light.
