Urbana, Ill, June III do not be-
Iieve there is an equal number Of
beautiful lines in the English Ian
guage which contain more unmitigat-
ed nonsense than ingalls, 'OppOrtuni-
ty-' If you take up each job as you
come to it, opportunity viii be chas-
ing after you instead Of you chasing
after opportunity"
Around such thoughts as those
quoted above President Edmund J
James Of the University Of Illinois
built his annual baccalaureate sermon
to the graduating class, which was de-
livered yesterday in the armory. PreSi-
dent James said, among other things:
1T is not a single opportunity
which comes to a man, it is a train
1t is a never-ending procession, some
small, some large, growing perhaps
smaller and more Insignificant as the
years flow on, but ever and always op-
pOTtunities, too numerous, too great
and too large for US TO utilize fully.
1T il not opportunity that is lack
ing. It is lack OF power on our part
If you take up each job as you come
to it. throw yourself into il with your
full powers, before long you viii be
getting ready for the next higher op-
pOrtunity, before long you will find
yourself among the most efficient peO-
pie Of your generation. Opportunity
Will be chasing after you instead Of
you chasing after opportunity"

On Monday, about one o'clock,
something appeared in the dis
tance ahead OF us. It was Mount
Vesuvius, grim and silent, and
we knew that Naples was near by.
Our hearts grew sad, and faces
long, for here our happy party
was to break up and scatter over
Europe, after having been in the
''same boat for twelve days,
which condition is the mother of
that fellow feeling which reaches
its sweetest proportions on the
ocean. With many tears, and
''good-byes, and "write to me-"
and 'don't forget me, and, well
we went ashore. Our reception
at Naples was royal. Long be-
fore our ship had anchored, it
was surrounded by many little
boats containing people who were
glad to see us, and making evi.
dent demonstrations of the fact.
This reception committee was a
self-appointed band OF men and
women and boys and girls repre-
senting the most active and busi-
ness like movement in Italy, beg.

Discourasing to Pistol Toters.

is discouraging the practice
among negroes Of carrying con-
cealed weapons. He got a chance
at Jim Sinclair on that charge
this week and fined him 500 and
sentenced him to 80 days in jail.
This is the extreme penalty Of the
new law, which went into effect
last monday.

then be doing something that no

he would like to be stationed ut a
proper distance and view the
rugged wall of that rock when
the morning sun is falling upon

like to be upon it's topmost peak

yesterday afternoon on the Sunday School
League grounds, 14th street and Lydecker

top honors, the score being to 0. The

Hutchinson was on the pan for the win

Capital City leaguers down to three hits,
tanning six batters. Beckett, for the losers,
allowed the same number of hits and
famed five batters OF the two runs scored
by the winners but one was earned, the
first run being scored on a base on balls
and an error.

RAISING GEORGET0WN'S
SUNKEN BOAT HOUSE

The work Of raising the Georgetown
University boat house was begun last week,
and has progressed SO rapidly that 1t is ex-
pected by Wednesday next the students
may boat therefrom. The contract for rails
ing the sunken ark was awarded to Mr..
Joseph H. Bradley, and he at once set
divers at the task Of closing the numerous
matches the last one being closed Friday.
The hull Of the house is not damaged to
any extent, and as soon as 1t is towed to
low ground and completely cleaned out Of
mud, will be as good as new. This hull.
when built. under the supervision of the
late Prof. Langley. was constructed Of the
best seasoned lumber. and the submerging
has made it even better than before. The
upper portion was not materially injured by
the swapping, hence it will require very lit
tie work to put it back in condition, though
1t will take some time to repair the shells
that were split and jammed by the
accident The best shell, which was re-
paired by the Analostans, and used by
them in the middle states, is practically as
good as new, and there are others that can
be fixed up for the fall class race
Capt. Stewart will soon issue his call for
candidates for the crews to get out for
class races as a starter.
