al progression. All the other depart
ments remain unchanged This speaks
well for the college and the students,
especially the old ones, will reap the
benefit of having instructors with whose
methods they are familiar, and by whom
they are understood. The more that
such conditions prevail the closer we
approach the ideal of college instruc-
ton.
The year proper was successfully
launched with an inspiring chapel SER
vice Wednesday morning. How the old
chapel did ring with the familiar GLORY
BE to the Father" and we were a bit
surprised that the first hymn announced
was not Waterman Tell Us of the
Night" The opening address was deliv-
cred by Prof. Adams, who was unique
ly introduced by DIR. Bruske as COM
pairing favorably with the great John
, Quincy Adams of Revolutionary fame
Professor Adams was quite up to his
usual standard of excellence and sue
ceeded first in arousing an enthusiasm
for the years work ahead, and second
in giving first hand information on a
topic that seldom. if ever, would come
under our observance-that of real
live Lord Mayors Show" or TO trans
late into Yankee a Heap Big Parade. "
This was vivid description of the Pro
cession of the Lord Mayor of London
on his way to receive his Office. The
pomp and splendor of such pageant
would be scarcely realized by the people
of this side of the great waters, yet
when Prof. Adams had finished there
were none but had received a new i'm
preston of the British people, and had
clearer idea than ever before of the
pomp and vanity so richly lavished on
such occasions. He said in part: In
the charm of it all we ask, what is the
Lord Mayor? Who is he? Why does
he have show? OF what will his show
consist?
1t is the city of London, not London
as you and know it from history or
geography-the city on the Thames
with its millions of souls, the largest ag-
gregation of human beings in the world,
not the capital of the wondrous British
Empire, the city of Westminster Alb
hey, the tower, the British Museum and
buckingham Palace, but little London
inside of this larger one, for, technically
speaking, only this smaller area is Lon ;
don. The metropolis, not merely of
the nation, nor of the empire, but of the
world. is collection of political units,
all, but one. under the control of the
London county council. This one, the |
most mportant-fnancially at least-is |
London proper. Here is located the |
Bank of England, the great wholesale
districts the offices of great corpora
tions and Lombard street.-the Wall |
street of England. This little city all |
powerful in finance and industry-even
in government and politics has its board /
of Aldermen and they from their num-
Der elect annually their Lord Mayor. /
The triumphal procession approaching
with glare and martial music is this Of
ical elect and his escort on his way to
take his oath of office. This procession
is the Lord Mayors Show.
The Mayor is provided with a nicely
palace, the Mansion House. IL

Washington, April 23.-The result
of the balloting at today's session of
the National Society of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution for 10
vice presidents general will not be
announced to the congress until It
convenes tomorrow morning. 1t had
been expected that the tellers would
be able to report at tonight's session,
but up to late hour they were still
canvassing the vote and their work
was then far from being completed.
That the task is big one is shown
by the fact that there were 2S tellers,
there being two from each state which
had candidate. The result Of the
balloting is awaited with considerable
interest
President Roosevelt today received
the delegates In the East room of the

ly informal and the president, while
expressing his pleasure at meeting

SORE TOE PRAYER $4,000
An Alleged Healer Heavily Fined for
Failure to Cure-Man Lost LEG.


New York, April 23.-The failure of
pretended Christian Science methods
to cure sore toe brought about yer
dict of $4,000 yesterday in the SUI
preme court, given by jury before
Justice Guy to Solomon Raisler, who
had the sore toe and lost his left leg
because the sore spread and made am
putation necessary.
The defendant in the suit was Jul
ius Benjamin of 343 Seventh avenue.
He put in an answer uenying respon-
sibility for Raisler's loss Of leg, but
he failed to appear 10 defend the suit
and an inquest was ordered. with the
result that the jury promptly gave
Raisler all he asked.
Benjamin's answer Is to the effect
that he is member of the Christian
Science sect and believes In the eff
cacy Of prayer in alternating pain
without medical attention. He was
consulted by Raisler, he says, and
made no pretence OF administering
medical care, but sought only to cure
Raisler's sore toe by praying hard.
The failure OF his prayers to cure the
toe was unfortunate. said Benjamin,
but he certainly could not be held re-
sponsible for the subsequent condi-
tons which made It necessary to am
putate the leg.

which he takes full advantage; now

grand jury here has begun an investi.
CATION into the affairs of the various

number of manufacturers of wrapping
paper.

Dear Sir: Ten years ago, there was
one pure paint and 200 adulterated;
there are now eight pure, 200 adulter-
ated, about half OF the latter short
measure besides.
There is still but one best, and the
difference is ten gallons Devoe goes
as far as eleven next-best-$5-in ev-
cry ten gallons.
A new word has come up In paint;
II Is strong. Strong paint goes further
and wears longer; weak paint takes
more gallons and wears out sooner.
The proper cost OF a 10 gallon Job Is
$50. Paint that takes ii gallons
makes It SOS. Paint that takes IL gal
Ions makes 1t $65. Paint that takes
20 gallons makes 1t $780,
The $50 job wears twice as long as
the 500. These figures are not pre-
else; they are round. The lOgallon
paint is Devoe.
