that the strict training In geometry and
formal logic then enforced at Cambridge
on all candidates for high academic honors
was favorable to the development Of legal
talent.
Mansell was succeeded In the Mastership
by Christopher Wordsworth, brother Of the
poet. Under his reign the conspicuous
Fellows OF Trinity were A. Sedgwick, the
geologist; q. Peacock, the mathematician;
Julius G. Hare and G. Thirlwall, the well
known scholars, and O.. B. Airy, the %astrono-
mer. 1t would, as the author OF this mono.

influence OF such men on the intellectual life
OF the college. A few years later the under.

the college. T. B. Macaulay, Fellow in 1924,
was Of somewhat earlier date.
Dr.. Whewell was appointed by the
Prime Minister Master Of Trinity in 1870;
and retained the Office until 1885. There
is no doubt that his intellectual powers
and knowledge were immense. That
he was a bit too conscious OF the fact;
however, was attested in the once familiar
saying that science was his forte, but omni-
science his foible.
In 1870 the biological and medical schools
OF Cambridge received a considerable
stimulus from the appointment by Trinity

THE JEWISH MARK TWAIN.

ShoIem Aleichem Is Coming to America
Something About His Career.
Sholem Aleichem is the. nom de guerre Of
a Russian Jew whose writings have gained
him the title OF the Jewish Mark Twain
He is a benefaotor of his people, says
the London Jetoish Chronicle, because he
has ligbtened their misery in Galicia with
the magic Of his wit and made the Pale
Of Settlement laugh between its tears.
No one has caught more faithfully or
ironic humor with which the Jew looks
out on a world in arms, and no one has
portrayed more delightfully."- the comical
side OF Russo-Jewish character and life.
Few men have suffered more vicissitudes;
he has approached both extremes o! !o--
tune.
Born in 1850 near Kief-his real name is
Solomon Rabinowicz-he was trained in
early years for the rabbinate. Before
he could consummate his plans the young
man had fallen in love and married, and
that was the end OF his university dreams.
The student went into business and soon
lost both the dowry Of his wife and her
inheritance. In 1890 came the commercial
crash and Sholem Aleichem vent over, bag
and baggage, to literature.
The year 1901 found Sholem Aleichem
touring Russia, with the Jewish population
at his feet. A Zionist society had invited
him to give q reading from his works IN
aid OF some charity. The reading was
such q sucoess that similar invitations
poured In from all parts OF Russia, and
presently Rabinowicz was travelling from
city to city, filing the Golfers Of various
institutions but getting not a kopeck for
himself out OF It all.
In. the following year usoS) Sholem
Aleichem began to think Of his own con-
Germs. The Russian Government had given
permission for Yiddish drama to be staged
and the author seized the opportunity to
enter into a contract in Odessa by virtue
Of which he was to write original plays
and adapt the plays OF others. habinowicn

In his first chapter Mr. Weeden traces
thu growth Of Union sentiment through its
FIRST adumbrations and symbolic images in
colonial times to it's inevitable manifes-
tation in welding the States into a CO.
nerent whole after the revolutionary con-
tcst. He shows hat the half century or

or s~ciolists could not comprehend the In

far as the Northern States were concerned,
had become the greatest Of the forces that
were building up the American nation.

In o footnote on page "a We are reminded
that DR.. Woodrow Wilson, In his American
People says that In 1890 tho South still
adhered to tho primary conception Of the
Union. which was that Of Q federation to

from which, therefore, logically they could

that, on the other hand, 'for q majority OF

state OF things our author observes: 1T
ought not to have been 80, but 1t was; the
Governors furnished the raw materials for
the new fabric that was weaving imperial
textures. The lawyer politician from Hi
nois gradually grew into the statesman who
marshalled the largest armies since Napo-
leon, freed millions Of slaves. and finally
welded the powers eventually concen-
trated in the Federal Government 30 justly
that few onlookers realized that they were
in the hands Of a necessary dictator In
1851 81, however, the President OF the repub-
lie exhibited no such executive force as
Andrew, Curtin and Morton constantly
exerted until the voluntary levies OF their
States were mustered into the Federal ser
vice. Especially in the first year., they were
the only War Ministers the country had, or
could have until the pressure OF affairs
developed Stanton. Mr.. Lincoln was wor-
rying himself, into exhaustion, running
from one department to another-followed
by troops OF office seekers-and meddling
oonscientiously with details which should
have been determined, for better or worse,
by each master Of his W bureau Mr..
Weeden does not mean to apply this oriti-
oism to Lincoln's enforced supervision OF
Generals in the field There was no actual
leader Of all the armies until Grant was
evolved. The President honestly tried
many, and found them wanting. Mere
force OF circumstances carried Lincoln to
military headship." Our author Is con-
WINGED that the more familiar We become
with the secret history Of the early years OF
the war the more distinctly Is Lincoln
revealed as, on the whole, a good leader
fair allowances being made for inevitable
limitations.
Much time elapsed before Lincoln and
those around him could perceive how far
the sentiment Of the people Of the Northern
States, or rather Of a large majority OF hat
people, had advanced toward putting the
powers Of administration into dictatorial
form. It was unavoidable that, II the re-
bellion should not be subdued quickly, a
larger and more efficient government would
be evolved out Of the edgencies OF the war.
As our author points out In q chapter de-
voted to some Of the larger questions which
grew out Of the issues developed In the
process Of the contest: After the great
forces Of the States-thein individual Common
wealths-had been developed and oonoen-
trated, 30 that they merged in the larger
Federal functions, there had to be adequate
direction and government. something more
than the mere administration OF affairs
from day to day. As the bounds OF the
struggle extended, and the great civic
foundations Of the republic began to be dis

college seems to have been especial lily favored
by prospective poets. Among these should
be particula rly mentioned George Herbert,
Fellow from 1914 to 1923; Abraham Cowley,
Scholar r, 1887, and subsequently Fellow, and
Andrew M arvel, another Scholar, who era d.
uated B. A. In 1888. Dryden entered a few
veal rs later.
In 1912 the bulk Of the college plate wes
sent to King Cha rles at his request and
the residue seems to have been rded
early in 1914. The immediate and ma tural
effect Of the gift was the election Of tho
Me- ster and Fellows responsible for IL; this
was followed la ter by the removal Of forty
two moro Fellows. Throughout the sub
sequent Commonwealth period most Of the
Fellowships were filled by Pa rib mept or
Cromwell, and rather as a eva I'd for po-
ltical zeal than for learning. Under tho
circumstances, the college fell into eclipse.
The revival OF lea rning at Trinity after tho
Restoration was encoura ged by the presence
Of Pearson, the eminent divine, and Barrow,
whose fame as a preacher and ma themati-
cian still survives, Barrow's teaching will
always be memorable from the fact that Il
was under him that Isaac Newton, who
entered Trinity in 1851. studied ma thematics.
Newton's manuscripts show that in 1895,
the year In which he took his p. A. degree,
he discovered the binomial theorem and

Yesterdays mail brought the fol- lowing communication to the Demo- crat oflce:
 City, July (, 1908.
 Dear Editor: Please state in your paper that the cannon that was set off in fropt of George Manvills's house on the morning of July {. aad broke out one of his windows, was set of by George Manville. no one else; made by himself, about l 1s feet long. Charge the expense up to George.
 ONE WHO KNOWS.
 Whether One Who Knows does knew or only thinks he knows who had charge of that cannon is some- thing everybody is at liberty to de- eide to suit himself. It Is certain, however, that One Who Knows knows enough to read the Democrat and keep posted. He's all right whether he knows or not. The storming of the Manvilie place was reported in the Democrat of July 5 as follows:
 During the cannonading somebody planted field piece in front of the residence of George ManYille on State street and then let it go. It went and with it disappeared the glass from a window in the Manyille residence. Of course the folks were scared, but none of them was hurt. When the smoke cleared away and somebody went out to have talk with the gunner the joker could not be found. It was the largest cannon ever exploded in Waterbury and made the most noise. so State street folks say, anyway.

SOLDIERS BETTER SHOTS.
President Pleased at the Increase of
 Expert Rifemen.

Washington, July 7.-In a letter to Acting Secretary Oliver, President Roosevelt has expressed his gratifi- cation at the remarkable progress that is being made by the enlisted men of the army in marksmanship. Before the Spanish war the American private soldier was admittedly the finest shot in the world. The addition of the large number of volunteers had the effect of greatly reducing the average of the rihemen. Buts since the reorganization following the war every effort has been made to stimu- late interest in markmanship and the result Is that to-day the average ia probably as high if not higher than it was at the beginning of the WET.
 The figures laid before the presi- dent that elicited his approval show ed that in 1903 there were in the VI ole army 5s expert rifiemen, 34s sharpshooters and 500 marksmen, as the various grades are known techni- cally. In the following year these figures had increased to 2e4 expert rifemen. I.f3s sharpshooters and 2.4s4 marksmen. Now it is shown that last year the record stood 5s6 expert rifiemen, 3.371 sharpshooters and 3,i3e marksmen.
 General Oliver attributes the im- provement in large part to the fact that congress has allowed an increase of pay of g per month in the case of expert rifiemen. s2 for sharpshoot- CTS and s1 for marksmen.
