America, who are our natural friends
and helpful neighbors. Any statesman or
any party who is so blind as not TO un-
derstand that such a foreign policy. en-
bracing all the advantages TO be drawn
from the regions 10 the west and south
OF US. is an irrevocable fact in our na-
tional life. need not hope TO be intrusted
with power by the American people. The
people Of this country will not trust. nor
should they trust, the direction Of our
foreign affairs TO any man or party that
shrinks from our destiny.
In speaking thus OF the future great
ness OF our country. I am not unmindful
Of the spirit Of this occasion, nor of the
homage TO be paid to-day to the men
who. in giving up their lives that the na-
ton might live. made such greatness pos
sible II we desire TO build the nOblest
and most enduring OF monuments to their
memories. We can best accomplish that
result by doing all in our power TO ad-
vance the growth Of the commonwealth
for which they made such sacrifices.
such was the thought. as I under
stand It. expressed by PeTiCles in the
immortal funeral oration pronounced by
him in the beautiful suburb Of Ceranicus.
the Westminster of Athens. when public
honors were there paid to those who had
fallen In the Peloponnesian war. On that
occasion PericIes said: For while col
! lectively they gave TO their country their
| lives, individually they received that re-
nown which never grows old. and the
most distinguished tomb they could have;
not so much that IN which they are laid.
as that in which their glory IS left be-
hind them. TO be everlastingly recorded
on every occasion for doing so. either by
word or deed. that may from time &c
time present itself. Far more grievous.
TO a man OF high spirit. at least. is the
misery that accompanies cowardice, than
the unfelt death that comes upon him at
| once. in the time Of his strength and OF
his hope for the common welfare.
In emulation Of the heroes who died
70 promote our common welfare. let US.
by patriotic living. strive to promote Y
| to the utmost OF our strength"

it lies in the fact that his intuItions are

STRIKE STOPS A TRAIN.
Obstinate Engineer Refuses to Move

Co0e0ee.
 Paris. Sept. 19.-A ridiculous affair happened at Agen Railway Station the other night. There were so many ex- cursionists from Toulouse to Bordeaux that an extra train was put on. After a stoppage at Agen. when the signal was given for the train to start it did not move. The station master went to find what the matter was, and he found that the engine driver had gone on a strike. He sat down calmly on the platform and languidly explained to the irate station master that he considered he had done enough work for one day. and really felt most disinclined to do any more.
 The station master begged, implored, then threatened, but all to no purpose. The driver absolutely refused to move. An angry crowd of excurstonists gath cred round the two men, and helped considerably to enliven the argument.
 The station master went in search of a volunteer to drive the train, but could not find one. and at last the train was pushed into a siding. where the wretch ed excursionists had to wait six hours until the next train came through Agen Station and took them on to Bordeaux.

MACHINE
IS A BIG SUCCESS

The pitching machine which has been
employed by Yale this year to develop
hitters is proving a success IN every
way. and although the hitting in
games is by no means marvellous as
vet. the members OF the team have
shown more inclination to stand up to
the plate and take a swat at the swift
ones than was formerly the case.
1t consists Of a long tube with con-
nections within to curve the ball as
desired. The balls are placed one at
a time In the back opening Of the tube
and by means Of a lever a hard spring
is let drive. hitting the ball as desired
and sending 1t in any curve decided
on. The speed Of the pitching may
be modified so that the slow balls or
burners" are Of equal simplicity. and
on the whole the machine simply
furnishes an absolutely tireless pitcher.

JOURNAL.
In reply to a statement in your paper
that the North End defeated the Mag
nolia Is to 2. ] wish to say that the
right score was II to 2 and that North
End could not claim the victory any
more than Park Side could. as the
team Magnolia played that day COM
prised players from both the North
End and Park Side. Another condi-
ton unfavorable to the Magnolia team
was that Manager Hudson was only
trying out his players. while the North

put as strong a team in the field then
as he could now.
