of arguing the counts in which errors
were found were dropped.

A RAIN or M0NEY.
Il Followed Editor Stead's Speech in
Behalf Of the Peace Pilgrimage.

PittsUurg Pa-At the close OF a
remarkable address by William T.
Stead editor OF Review Of Reviews"
London. England, at the ra-dadication
ceremonies of the Carnegie Institute
OF Pitysburg, late Friday, in which the
speaker announced a plan to raise
100000 necessary to conduct the pill
gTimaea from all countries to The
Hague conference. advocated in a re-
cent New York address, unbounded
enthusiasm took possession Of the
large audience and money was thrown
10 the floor of the stage.
Nh Stead after explaining the pur
pose Of the pilgrimage to the next
would take at least 100000 to
finance the proposition. TO raise this
sum he proposed that every boy and
girl in colleges and universities
throughout the United States donate
30 cents toward the fund needed. He
said the lesson furnished to Europe
by such movement would be an in
fluential factor in the quest of inter
national peace.
The suggestion came al the end of
his address and he sat down amid
loud applause. For fully five minutes
the c1apping and cheering was pro-
longed and finally the speaker again
arose and said that probably the
audience would like to contribute to
the fund. Immediately q shower OF
silver money landed on the stage,
coming from all parts OF the hall
