NJ tom or preaching the oae-

to the graduating class, was OBJ
served at many of our colleges and
universities. Until within recent years
the college president was almost m
variably clergyman and on him usually
devolved the preaching OF the pacca-
laureate sermon, which in some cases
was preserved in collections of notable
pulpit eloquence.
One of those institutions in which the
baccalaureate sermon was always
feature of great prominence was Prince
ton University. Famous discourses 10
the Princeton graduating classes at COM
mencement time have been preached; but
not until the first lay president Of Prince

Wilson, was the function assumed by
layman. Last year President wilson
preached the baccalaureate sermon ana
last Sunday he again performed the
office of moral and religious monitor 10
the graduating class.
1t is true, as he said, that never were
educated men so much needed as now, anu
perhaps we may accept MS rather loose
definition of the ideal education as the
development and simplification OF the

NEW YORK, June 20.-Upon the deter

Of Wallace Andrews and his wife, who
were burned to death in their home in
this city on April Z, 1899, depends the
success or the failure Of a contest for
s2,5O0.o0o which was begun in the New

organize an institution to be known as
the Andrews Institute for Girls, and it
left to the institution s2,5Oo,OOO Of his 49,

Under the laws of 1861 still in force a
testator leaving a wife and child cannot
give more than half of his estate to char

HONOLULU. June GOV. P. Hepburn.
chairman Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee Of the House OF Representatives.
has spoken here Of the Hawaiian and
Philippine islands in their relation to the
mainland of the United States. He said:
have been favorabsy disposed to
the colonial system. ! have never believed
that colonies were a marked benefit to parent
nations. Colonies were always weak spot
in nation Colonies more expensive to
defend than any other portion of the state.
There Is apt to be less OF that complete
contentment that results in the completest
loyalty, no matter how beneficial the parent
government may try to be. There are always
factions that try to foment ,discord and breed
discomfort 50 that I have always thought
that colonial system Is not advantage
OF course there exceptions to that.
1t sometimes happens that geographical con-
siderations make II exceedingly desirable to
have some such relation with another people
The possession Of the Hawaiian Islands as a
defensive measure for the Pacific Coast Is Of
great value to the United States II we had
not these islands some other nation would
have insisted upon having them. In the pos
session OF anybody else they would be o
menace to our peace. but with our possessing
them nobody else trouble IN the Pa
cihc and therefore think there are mutual
interests which make II very desirable we
should have the very best Of relations with
