ABRUzzI VISITS IN ROME.
Royal Family Council Called to
Discuss Engagement.

Rome, April 5.-The Duke Of the Abruzzi
arrived here at noon to-day. and is the
guest Of the King at the Quirinal palace
The duke visited ex-Queen Margherita,
and spent most of the afternoon in her
company. The prevailing Impression is
that the dukes visit to Rome is connected
with his proposed marriage with Miss
Katherine Elkins. There is some specu-
lation as to why he did not come to Rome
as soon as he returned to Italy from the
United States.
Much significance is attached to the
fact that the Count OF Turin another
cousin Of the King, is also a guest of
his majesty. There is a likelihood that
the Duke Of Aosta and the Duke of Genoa
viii come to Rome. If they do, all the
male members OF the house Of Savoy will
be reunited The obvious deduction is
that a family council is to be held to dis
cuss the proposed marriage OF the Duke
of the Abruzzi and 5iiss Elklns previous
TO the granting Of the royal sanction. but
no definite information win be published
before the question of marriage is def
nitely settled

Wood VIII receive at La Novmandie on
Tuesday, from to $50 o'clock.
The novelty and popularity OF a college
minstrel show, judging from the large
advance sale of seats. will undoubtedly
be reanirmed on the night of april Is,
when the big minsuels. produced by the
students of George Washington Univer-
sity. for the benefit Of the athletic deficit,
will be the attraction at the National
Theater Not only Is great interest in the
event displayed by the student body, but
also by the alumni
Many of Washington's more prominent
citizens VIII be taken off before the whiri
is over. To this end special skits have
been originated. in which several of Wash
ington's most prominent venerable. and
respected four hundred viii be seen IN q
light in which they have never before ap-
peared in public Among these are Judge

Talks of Market for Girls.

New York. April 5-Chancellor Day, OF
Syracuse University, addressed a ful
house this afternoon at the mems meeting
in the hall of the Harlem branch of the
Y. M. c. A.
DR.. Day was under contract, he said
TO talk for ten minutes only. He talked
for thirty minutes. lie said that ne liked
opposition. and that he intended to be
just as big as he could be- THAT viii be
none TOO bigs he said, and he urged
the men present 20 take the same motto
with the same idea.
Don't you like this land better than
any other On the globe?' Dr. Day asked
And quick came the response: Sure
Wouldn't you rather be here than ia
Heaven?" he asked Immediately. Mo-
came the answer.
Il don't believe, said the chancellor.
that youn make any particular rush for
Heaven to-day. I'd rather be here :han
in Heaven. I'd Ike to go there when I
can't be here. don't think Heaven is in
any particular need Of me. In fact. !
think I'd have some trouble getting ad-
justed there. But all belongs TO God, and
when I'm done with this place He will
put me somewhere else.
Business Not 10 stop.
Il think we're all going 10 be buried
in little while in this country. We've
had little scare. but the business Of the
country isn't to stop. You'll ali have jobs
before ] speak 20 yoG again"
At this there was laughter of the kind
sometimes described as derisive, where
upon the chancellor added:
well, If you want me 10 be more
definite, I'll say in three months. That's
what I believe.
Don't listen 10 the sublime nonsense
about half a dozen men having taken all
the wealth Of the country and put Il
into their pockets The Lord takes care
OF those men. uaughter9 He does He
sees that they don't live as long as
Methuselah. They get rich. they get fat.
they get the dyspepsia. and then they die.
They get foolish FIRST. and lust before
they die they give their wealth TO their
sons, nine-tenths of whom are fools. and
go Immediately to work to get rid of 1t.
Market for Women.
Then, too, their daughters distribute
some of it, Rags and tatters OF royalty
that the world has tried TO get rid Of
because it had no use for them come
over here after them And they sell
themselves and give bonus. We've got
a market here in this country for these
women just as truly as they had a mar
ket for women and girls in the Orient.
But the Lord Is taking care of that.
too, giving us some fine exhibitions Just
now that all is not turning out as profit
ably as it might. OF course, we cant
mention names
Il think that there are not so many
dishonest men in this land to-day as
there were a month ago. But its not
members of Congress who are making
saints Of us. They're not IN the saint
business"

FIND FORTUNE IN STAMPS.
Cuttyhunk Women May Get Salvage
Worth 100000.

New Bedford. Mass, April 5.-There is
"a prospect Of some women Of Cuttyhunk
reaping handsome profit through salvage
if they can prove that Newfoundland
stamps Of the face value of more than
100000 secured by them last week were
picked up on the beach and not taken
from the hold of the wrecked steamer
Sylvia, which went ashore on Sow and
Pigs Ledge a few weeks ago.
If the stamps were aboard the broken
hull no salvage can be claimed, but If
they were washed upon the beach. then a
claim can be entered.
The American Bank Note Company OF
New York, sent Arthur Woglom. a spe-
cial agent to Cuttyhunk yesterday to in
vestigate the matter. Mr.. woglom could
not understand how the stamps fioated
ashore, as they were packed in heavy
zinc-lined boxes, but the Cuttyhunk peo-
pie assert that the box was cast ashore
by the waves.

PRODUCING Rev. DR.. W f. Anderson, Of
New York. who will deliver the anniyer-
sary address"
Christian Education.
DR.. Anderson announced he had chosen
a great subject "caristian education. -
He said:
Christian education consists mainly Of
three things cultivation of the intellect
attainment of Christianity. and obtaining
the ideal OF a Christian life
Il used to think of what a tremendous
amount OF knowledge a student acquires
during his four years OF college life. To-
day there is an Interrogation point behind
the word tremendous. A college educa-
ton fits man only for the part he is to
play in life, It may be compared to a
gun, which cannot be fred until loaded
When the university has fitted the stu
dent It has nearly completed its work.
College men have played an important
part in the history Of this country They
are to be seen occupying the coveted po-
sitions in all branches Of the government
1 have recently awakened to the fact
that the young people of the West, more
than the young people Of the East, are
determined to have a liberal college edu-
cation"
The services concluded with an address
by Rev. DR. Spencer, president of Morgan
College, who made an appeal TO Metho-
dlsts OF Washington to aid in the struggle
Of the college TO raise $4,000 to gain the
Carnegie donation Of $4,000. Dr. Spencer
said the colored people in the Baltimore
conference had promised to raise SO. 900
Of the $4,000 necessary Mr.. Carnegie.

Of the college, announced he would donate

friends raised another $4,000.
