NEW YORK-ln an address at New
Rochelle President Schurman of Cor
nell university has discussed what he
considers the true elements of ma
tional greatness and expressed the
truth that so far as physical power Is
concerned our nation leaves almost
nothing to be desired. In referring to
our respect Sor law and our regard
for the rights of others, however, he
said:
There has been in the last few
years more lawlessness than those liv-
ing in the present generation can re-
member. Lynching seems to go on
apace. There are reasons given for
this. as a matter of course. Some say
it is because our children are not
taught religion in the schools; others
that it is due to the great immigra-
ton to our shores. To me there
seems TO be an entirely different rea-
son for it. 1t is, think due to a
certain amount of race depreciation
| will not say race hatred, which some
how seems to be still very potent in
our blood. We still talk a great deal
Of the superiority of the white race
With an excess of passion, we still
talk of the inferiority of the people

tiger is still in our blood and woe to
the man who stirs him up.

earthen vessel filled with water and per-
mitted to ferment. Within a few days
an intoxicating beverage resulted that
was fully capable, when imbibed in suf-
ficient quantities, of rendering the poor

The Bull and the Eagle no sooner felt
the qu%ickening tingle of the tiswin
stimulate their veins than they FASTENED
to meet in deadly combat and but for
the interference of a government Off
cial who happened upon the scene would
have proceeded to butcher each other in
true Apache style with their hunting
knives. Fooled in this savage pastime
they quickly drew apart, followed by
their respective factions, and, seeking
the cover of standing timber and the
trunks of fallen trees near their en-
campments, at once opened fire upon
each other with their bows and arrows
and rifles.
Every now and then a warrior of one
of the opposing factions emerged with a
defiant yell from his cover and appeared
momentarily in the open, exposed to the
fire of his enemies. During the time of
his exposure he INDUCED constantly in
wild shouts of defiance, the meanwhile
gesticulating ceaselessly with his hands
and arms as he sprang about necessarily
with the agility of a jumping-jack. Each
of these displays of senseless bravado
was the signal for a shower'of barbed
arrows and rifle balls from the opposite
side, but fortunately the aim of the
firers was greatly impaired by the intox-
icating beverage in which they had in
dulged and but few casualties occurred.
The troops finally came hurrying upon
the scene, and intervening between the
combatants, quickly put an end to the
contest. To prevent its possible re-
newal a guard was established near the
encampments and the unconsumed It's

project.
Persons who have been stopping in
town for the past few weeks greatly aid
ed in making the entertainment a sue
cess. Mrs. e. Eldridge Quinlan, of New
York, gave two soprano solos that were
greatly appreciated and heartily encored.
Miss %Johansen, of Perth Amboy, who has
been stopping with Mrs. E. A. Arnold
for some time past, is a marvel at the
piano. She fairly makes the instrument
talk, and for one SO young is a remark
able musician. Mr.. A. BETH, Of Mount
Kisco, gave two clarinet solos. Mr..
Betti is certainly an artist in his line.
The remainder of the program was by
local talent. Mrs. James Hoyt gave two
solos, Mr.. Robert Brady played a duett
with Miss %Johansen, and Mr.. George
Wright.s banjo solo was as usual well
received. Mr.. J. Franklin Ryan was the
accompanist for the soloists."
