ORANGE AND BLACK
Mixed With the Blue at the Elm City
 To-day.

New Haven, June 1.-Princeton's colors of orange and black were to be seen on the Yale campuses to-day as the early arrivals for this after noon's base ball game between Yale and Princeton in the first of the championship series made the round of visits to the buildings of inter est. With this challenge the Yale men soon hung out their blue ban ners and extended a hearty welcome to the guests of the occasion. Many automobile parties from New York came here early. The weather Is ex- cellent for the game and very large. enthusiastic crowd is certain. Yale is not over-confldent of the game to-day owing to run of rather hard luck lately, but as 1t has de- veloped much batting ability lively contest seems assured. During the past nine years Princeton has won fifteen of the twenty-five games and in the two games last year won by the identical score of 8 to 9. Har- yard has been twice defeated by Princeton this year and the latter team came here brimful of conn., dence. The Princeton team with about 100 supporters got here short ly before noon. The batting order of the teams will be as follows.

COL LEES SPEECH
He Aroused inc People of Rich mond Last Evening By Ills
 Remarks on Slavery.

Richmond, Vt., June 1.-.In a speech at last nights session of the Confeder- ate reunion, which aroused the con yention and which formed the most important feature of the e-union thus far, Colonel Robert E. Lee, Jr., said:
 For the purpose of ITS occasion we care not how the African slave first placed his unhallowed feot on southern soil. Although the south had at one time no inconsiderable career of mari time adventure, no ship or shipmaster of hers has ever in a single case been implicated in the illicit African slave trade. Her greatest msA always main talned slavery to be the most danger ous element in the country.
 Virginia in October, 177S, and Georgia in 179S, passed acts prohibit- ing the importation of slaves. Thus. to the everlasting credit of the south, upon whose devoted head the vlals of holy wrath have been so unjustly and brutally poured out for propagating, nourtshing and harboring slavery, she leads the world in an earnest attempt to prevent the very thing of which she is accused.
 Secession was not preached for the first time in the south. It was threat ened in the north four times before South Carolina seeded. First, from Colonel Timothy Pickering of Massa- chusetts, opposing the acquisition of Louisiana; second, from Josiah Quincy of Massachusetts, over the proposed admission of Louisiana as a state: third, from the Hartford convention, in which five states were represented, over the dissatisfaction accustomed by the war with Great Britain and fourth from the legislature of Massachusetts, because it was proposed to annex Texas to the federal union.
 When the red curtain of war rolled up on the American stage 1t revealed the south in arms ready and willing to defend all that makes life worth liv- ing, the freedom of coun:ry, the honor of the people. the sanctity of home"

THE BYRNE BOY.
Many Present at the Probate Hearing
 This Afternoon.

The hearing on the application of Peter H. Byrne of Wateryille to be appointed guardian over his nephew, Hugh Byrne, jr., was heard by Judge Etheridge of Thomaston in the su- perior court room this afternoon, the probate court being too small to ac- commodate the number of those in. terested in the matter.
 Hugh Byrne, father of the boy was the first witness. He testified that his wife, Hugh's mother, died about five years ago when the boy was less than three weeks of age. The night Mrs Byrne died Mrs George Slack who lived next door to the Byrneses was in the house and removed the baby to her own home. Byrne was out of the house at the time and did not know where the child was taken until informed by his sister-in-law, Mrs Peter Byrne.
 Byrne had nothing to say against the care or bring up of the child, only that he wished him raised in the faith of his fathers and if he re- mained with Mrs Slack he would be brought up in another religion. For time he paid $2.50 a week to Mrs Slack for the boys board and care, but after year or so he found the drain to be too heavy on his slender means, and he informed Mrs Slack that he could not pay her that amount and would have to seek a cheaper place. Mrs Slack said 1t was all right, he would pay same time and even if he did not it would be all right anyway, she would keep the child. But year or so ago hs ascertained that the child was going to Mrs Stacks church. and he would not stand for that. He wished the child to be brought up with his brothers and sisters and he wanted him to know his father which he did not know. Furthermore. he learned that the Stacks were educating the boy to fear him. Once he heard a daughter of Mrs Slack tell the boy that his father was bum and would eat him. Then the boy if he saw him on the street would run away. The hearing was on at press hour.
