Emerson's Birthday Celebrated.

Last Wednesday evening at the lecture
room of All Souls Unitarian Church.
the friends or the Unity Glass. together
with admirers of Emerson. met to cele-
brate the birthday of the great Ameri-
can poet. philosopher, and prophet.
Major James Albert Clark, who made
the opening address. gave the emphasis
Of the occasion TO Emerson as the ideal
list, the last foregoing exponent in that
school of thought which for the last ten
or fifteen years has been rising, until
now the cultured world stands ready to
admit that it has come to stay.
Twenty years ago. said Major Clark.
''positivism received its fullest applause
for the negation of philosophical de-
mands. A change is now quite apparent.
We are moving toward the idealisn, Of
Emerson. Harvard University acentu-
ates this fact by carving over the front
entrance of the new hall of philosophy
the name of the great idealist, Ralph
Waldo Emerson.
Another remarkable change OF front
is noticed in the plan of the present
dean of the little chapel to place a tab
let on the spot where Emerson deliver
ed his famous Divinity Address, which
y.
dean of that day stated of the great in
tellectual effort that all in it that was
not folly. was atheism. The heresies
OF yesterday become the beliefs of to-
dag.
ITO bring Emerson's teachings down
to the shortest expression has been a
difficult task in the empire of thought,
but Prof. Hugo. Munsterberg, OF Har-
ward University. has appealed to more
minds than any by declaring Emerson s
whole teaching reducible to the prin-
ciples of a philosophical character,
without which the great Idealist's life
work cannot be conceived: Nature
speaks TO Us; Freedom speaks in US; the
Oversoul speaks through us, and, he
adds, there is no word in Emerson s
twelve volumes which is inconsistent
with this threefold conviction, and every
thing else in his system either follows
Immediately from this belief or Is a non
essential supplement-
THAT il is possible for Reality itself
TO find expression in man is enc of the
courageous declarations of Emerson. but
the cynic whose day is past in this dia-
lectic is no more supported when he
labels this as a transcendental dream. -
Major Clark held further that we are
now again. after the downfall of en-
pirical enunciations of the materiaiistic
school. able to see why Idealism has been
the fertile ground for writing history,
and the thinking world already begins
to discard history as merely an appendix
of Sociology. by which the great man

New York, Nov 1S.-Young Hack enschmidt, the ''Bavarian Tiger" and Olsen, the great Dane, will meet on the mat for the third time this week ar the London theater tonight. The men have agreed to wrestle with all holds to count, which will give Hacken- schmidt an opportunity to extend him. self to the limit against his clever big opponent
 The contest has created an unusual amount of local interest, owing to the bitter enmity which is now existing between them and desperate struggle for supremacy is sure to result. Young MuIdoon, the featherweight champion, will appear in special contest against Charles Beck of Brooklyn.
 Hackenschmidt is. in the very best possible condition, as he is working daily with John Piening, the Graeco- Roman champion, who is training as- siduously for the big match with Ege- herR. the Danish champion.

LOU DILLON WORN :a
 OUT BY HER SEASON

Memphis, Tenn, Nov 1S.-Lou Dill Ion performed yesterday In a ,disap- pointing way in a mile which was an- nounced as her positive farewell ap- pearance in public for the season.
 The trotting queen, driven by San ders, finished in almost collapse and registered her third slowest mile or the season. The official time displayed by fractions was: .31A, LOLA, 131A, 2.03. Private watches held by E. E. Smathers' representatives registered 31 2-5, 1.01 3-5, 1.31 3-5, .2.O3 2-5.
 The mare was accompanied by a runner, for the first time in her recent trials, throughout the entire mile. The runner followed twenty feet behind, but drew alongside as the homesretcn was entered.
 The Billings mare plainly showed the effects of her recent ordeal, which em- braced repeated attacks on time; and, in the opinion of her trainer, as we'll as of every practical .horseman at the track yesterday, has earned rest for the winter.
 Compilations here show that by fin ishing yesterdays mile Lou Dillon has trotted eight miles in public this season, averaging 2.O2h. to the mile Major Deirnar, her only rival, has trotted nine miles, averaging 2.O2A.

FORBES TO MEET CHERRY.

Harry Forbes of Chicago has been matched to meet Joe Cherry of Sagi- naw, Mich, at Saginaw on November 25. Considerable interest is being taken in this mill owing to the fact that in the, west Cherry is looked upon as the coming bantam champione.. A few days ago Frankie Dwyer of that city, who is now in business in New York, offered to back Cherry against Joe Bowker, Tommy Murphy, Hughey McGoyern or any other 116-pounder in the business for $2,5O0 side, but so far he has received no response. So in order not to remain idle Cherry took on Forbes. The latter was for meriy the bantam champion of the world. Those who have seen Cherry box like his style and say that, he is built on the lines of Kid Layigne, who also hailed from Saginaw. Cherry can deliver a blow as forcefur as a pile driver. He is also clever. game and noted for his powers of endurance.

 Matched.

A private fight, with skin gloves, was fought in the rear of a Ridge wood, L. l., dance hall, just over the Queens county line, early yesterday morning Quite a crowd of sports went from Gotham to see the bout, which was fast and clever enough to keep the managers busy stifiing the applause. Andy Geyer, of the National Athletic club, and Harry Dodson, of the Brooklyn Athletic club, met for the gate receipts and $10O, at 1l6 pounds, ringside. The two little fel- lows flew at each other like game cocks. and it was give and take in the first round. with honors even. In the second Geyer forced the pace, but was floored by a right-hander on the chest just as the time was up, saving him. In the next round Dobson caught Geyer with the left on the wind as soon as they toed the scratch and, bringing around the right, he knocked him out with a swing flush on the jaw. Time, 411a seconds.

He had been a great sufferer with bronchitis. ana on one of his visits to Waterbury, his friend, MT Wheeler of Apothecaries' Hall, asked him why he didn't try Linonine for "that cough" He did. with the result that in four weeks time he was rid of a throat difficulty that had bothered him for two yearA and cost him lot of money in his vain efforts to cure it by ordinary medicines. Linonine fills the arteries with rich blood which soon unseats membrane agitations and bathes the tissues with new strength. It cures throat and lung difficulties that lead up to consumption.

 One of the biggest games of the year that MT Thompson refereed was the annual Army-Yale game, and his work gave such satisfaction that he will in all probability be asked to of ficiate again next year. The Cornell Columbia management was after him for the game at New York last Satur- day, but he had already been engaged for the Navy Virginia, so he had to pass up the Gotham offer.

John VanSchalck, pastor of the Church of Our Father The lecture was the second in course of evening sermons or ''The Hand of God in History and was accompanied by stereopticon views.

 He was very modest intelligent gentleman, and he had spent many months studying the genealogies of the Irish and American families, and was absolutely sure of the connection. The facts of the story that he relates are these:
 Francis Mckinley. one of the an- cestors of the president, a man of Scotch Irish food, lived in northern Ireland, in what is now County An. trim. He was a respectable, honest man, and was generally liked. In re- bellion, however. of the seventeenth century, some of his enemies circu, lated stories that he was disloyal to the king. He voluntarily went down to Coleraine, a large market town eight and a half miles to the north, to clear himself. There he was seized by the English authorities and hanged in the main street of the town. The shocking news came back up the coun try to his home. It drove his young wife mad. The horror of it drove the family to America.
 "As in thousands Of other cases Ireland's loss was Americas, gain. Had Francis Mckinley never been hanged in Ireland William Me Kinley would probably never have been pres, ;dent of the United States. Tyranny and brutality drove out of Ireland again sons and daughters, without which no country can be prosperous Washington Post
