Dinsmore, D. D., pas tor of the First church Congregation aD. The Rev Dr Dinsmore took for his subject, "The Minister Idolizing the People, and the People Idolizing the Minister.

FORM ER PASTOR SPEAKS.

In the evening the exercises opened with an anthem by the choir, and ther the Rev Charles E. Granger, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church at Newark, N. J., was introduced. The Rev MT Granger is a former pastor of the Third Congregational church, and in his remarks Thursday night said that it was great pleasure to be in the same pulpit once more, speaking to the congregation he knew and loved so well.
 The Rev Dr Joseph Anderson, pas tor emeritus of the First church Con gregationaD, said during the course of his remarks on "Get Together" that he cherished a very friendly feeling toward the Third Congregational church, inasmuch as he was one of its godfathers. "I take very deep in- terest in its affairs" he said, "and always will. I have driven thirty miles just to be with you tonight, and as see your faces, 1 feel that I am we'll repaid"
 Dr Anderson said that all congrega- tions should get together in brotherly love, and to advance Gods work. He spoke in complimentary terms of the Rev Mir Chunn, and said that the Third church congregation should aid him in every possible way. Dr Anderson said that the minister alone could not do all the work, and what is most needed is cooperation. He stated that the trou- ble with most churches is that the men let the women do all the work.

Waters of Rocky Hill, who was the first pastor of the Third Congregation al church. Dr Callbreath stated that in 1893 Mrs Waters was patient at the Waterbury hospital, and while there made the acquaintance of Miss Martha A. Smith who, because of the talks she had with Mrs Waters. be- oueathed in her will the sum of S9,- 492. .78, which enabled the church to pay off it's mortgage. The purse will be presented to Mrs Waters next week "in appreciation of her instrumental ity in unconsciously securing for the Third Congregational church the leg acy of Miss Martha A. Smith.
 The celebration closed with bene- diction pronounced by Rev MT Chunn. Waterbury Republican.

some of the States are now earnestly
attempting to solve. The financial needs
OF the States as contrasted with the
comparative influence of the Federal
government; the desire to avoid con-
fusion and unjust burden; the reason
ableness of leaving the taxation of in
heritances to those States in which the
respective estates are situated, and
where IN most cases the owner was help
cd by the community to accumulate the
same, and where in consequence both
owner and community are most vitally
concerned with it's contribution toward
local social ends-all these factors make
it undesirable for the Federal govern
ment at any time to interfere with the
present taxing power of the several
States, when extended to inheritances. At
present it should also be remembered
that any movement toward the separa-
ton OF State and local revenues is held
IN check in most of the States by the
difficulty of getting suitable revenue
sources. The exclusive retention of the
tax by the States, especially
if the tax is made reasonably heavy,
will 60 long way in bringing about a
of that plank in this asso-
platform which provides at least
or a partial separation of State and
ocal revenue systems"

Autumn Has Come"

The Bentztown Bard has been writing
lyrics to Autumn, and here is one OF
his best:
"She is spinning threads of amber,
She is weaving mists of gold;
She is tinting here the valleys,
She is changing there the void;
Through her veil the sun is glowing
Like ring of orange light,
And the fairy feet will tinkle
And the elfiires glow tonight.
We are wrapped in dews of dreaming.
We are sheathed in mists of smoke:
We are on the hills of autumn
In the woods of fairy folk;
Eyes are in the misty weather.
Hearts are in the shadow breeze.
And the mesh of gold is meeting
Round and round the silver seal,"

INDIRECTION

ralr are the flowers and children, but
their subtle suggestion is fairer;
Rare IS the rose bud of dawn, but the
secret that clasps it is rarer;
Sweet the exultance of song but the
strain that precedes it is sweeter;
And never was poem yet writ but the
meaning Outmastered the meter.
Never daisy that grows but a mys-
terry guideth the growing.
Never river that flows, but majesty
scepters the flowing.
Never a Shakespeare that SCARED but
a stronger than he did unfold him;
Nor ever prophet foretell but might
Ter seer hath foretold him.
Back of the canvass that throbs the
painter is limited and hidden;
Into the statue that breathes the soul
OF the sculptor is chidden;
Under the joy that is felt lie the infinite
issues of feeling;
Browning the glory revealed in the glory
IhaI crowns the revealing;
treat are the symbols of being, but
that which is symboled is greater;
Vast the create and beheld. but vaster
the inward creator;
sack OF the sound brOods the silence,
back of the gift stands the giving;
lack OF the hand that receives, thrills
the sensitive nerve of receiving.

If you want to know the history of g

Or the customs of the students long
ago,
Should the use of having Overseers ever
trouble you,
Ask Senior, for the Seniors always
know.
If you'd like to learn the barn dance or
any social fad,
If you find Platonic friendships rather
slow,
DO you ever see hatband that you do
not recognize,
Ask a Junior, for the Juniors always
know.
If you're ever undecided just what kind
of pipe to buy,
TO what theater you really want to
60,
If you want to learn what's going on
within the world of sport,
Ask Soph'more, for the Soph'mores

If you want to know the schedule of the

At what time the cars for Boston
come and go,
Or the streets around the college which |

WHERE ONCE WAS DARKNESS.

When President Roosevelt takes hi:
vacation in Central Africa he will travel
partly by rail, partly by steamer, and
partly by caravan;-this too, in a coun-
try where the blacks are partly civil
lized, partly savage, but all obedient to
all these conditions exist in a land which
less than half century ago was called
the Dark Continent"
But it was different. Then, lawless
tribes waged barbarous warfare among
themselves, or fought desperately with
merciless bands of slavetraders. The
wild beast eXacted his toll of human
life in the spring and was himself round
ed up and slain and eaten in the fall.
There were no roads; the rivers strug
gled through accumulatiOns of vegetable
growth impossible to boats; and fevers
were no less deadly to white men than
smallpox was to the natives.
Livingstone, the missionary, was the
first to explore much of this region. Sir
Samuel Bakers annexation of the Sou
dan to Egypt was only prophetic of the
Gordon tragedy at Khartoum and the
triumph of Kitchener at Omdurman.
Stanley, whom the enterprising jour
nalist Bennett, sent out to find Living |
stone, had many grim fight to keep |
from falling into the hands of cannibals.
Perhaps it is this explorers vivid and
optimistic account of barbaric Uganda
that has attracted Roosevelt to that
region. But the President cannot hope
to see Just the same war dances or to 90
through the blood brotherhood ceremony
with the native chiefs, las did these
scouts of civilization not long dead. In
stead he will land at a British port;
plunge many miles into the tropical for
ests on a steam railway; take lake
steamer to Nairobi, the capital of Ugan {
da, where he will stay at British hotel,
and whence he will beat the jungle for !
big game. A.,
Finally, with a little caravan of per- j
haps dozen men he will ride peacefully I
and unnoticed toward Egypt, through @
districts in which large military expe T
ditions have come to grief. Where Baker
saw straw huts he will find large mod Y
ern towns and cities. where it is Just +
possible he may meet American circuses I
showing domesticated elephants to Won
lering natives.
Truly our Nimrod is lucky to be born
'oon enough to have one good old hunt "
n the heart of the Dark Continent"

More Revenue Needed.

The States are in need of additional
revenue, and since they have already ap-
propriated this tax, should be permitted
to retain it. As further argument for
the retention of this tax by the several
States, he said the following:
Thirty six States have already ap-
propriated the inheritance tax in one
form or another. Federal interference
with another inheritance tax will simply
result in confusion and greatly increase
the possibilities of double taxation which

ELECTRIC LIGHT
QUESTION CONSIDERED
Fire Hazard at County Farm
Discussed.

The cost of lighting the county poor
farm buildings with electricity and the
additional insurance hazard were con-
sidered by the grand jury today.
Charles Newlin, deputy auditor, was
called before the jury and produced
the insurance policies to show what
additions have been made to the rates
as the result of the use of electricity.
1t is not believed probable the grand
jury will recommend the discontinue
ance of electric lighting as the addi-
tional hazard amounts only to one per
cent as shown by the rates.
1t had been proposed by the county
commissioners that the installation of
an acetyline gas plant might be pre-
ferable. Because of the danger from
such a plant, it is expected there
would be strong objection and It's
cost of operation would be greater
than what is spent for electricity.
The latter amount is less than IS
monthly.

MAKES ANOTHER
SUICIDE BLUFF
Charles Wolfe Found With
CarboIic Acid Burns
On His Mouth.
MUST LEAVE THE CITY.
PATIENCE OF AUTHORITIES Ex-
HAUSTED- THREATEN MS TO
KILL HIMSELF WHEN PLACED
IN JAIL.
MUST LEAVE THE CITY.

Charles Wolfe, professional suicide
bluff, was fired from the city this
morning. He was given until IL
o'clock to clear out under penalty of
being sent to Jail for lettering. Wolfe
is about the biggest nuisance of his
kind the city has had to deal with for
some time. The mans hobby is pre-
mediated attempts at self destruction,
but he always has been careful not to
meet with success in his effort. Upon
leaving the city, Wolfe said he would
go to Connersville.
Yesterday afternoon he was found
lying on the sidewalk on Fort Wayne
avenue short distance north of Main
street Officer Hebble observed the
carbolic acid burns about the mans
mouth and alcohol was procured from
Quigley's drug store. Wolfe drank it
to counterfeit the effect of the poison.
A physician was summoned and upon
investigation, it was found the acid
used had been diluted and practically
none of it had been swallowed.
Wolfe's mouth was burned slightly
but his throat was uniniured.
Wolfe was removed to the hospital.
1t was evident soon that he was out
of danger and he was told he would
be removed to the city Jail. He made
violent protest screaming and carry
ing on like wild man. The authorit-
les We're not deferred, however, and
carted the champion buffer to the
| city Jail. Wolfe threatened to commit
suicide and made bluff about using
his shirt for the purpose. The mans
! suspenders were taken from him and
all other articles of wearing apparel
| that he might convert into rope. He
| remained all night at the Jail and his
/ deme amor became very much subdued.
/ The man claimed to have escaped
| from Jail at Dayton, where he has been
| locked up for safe keeping. He fol
lowed the same tactics there he did
here. Wolfe's bluff of yesterday was
| his fourth in this city. In each in
| stance he has been rescued" and a
physician spared him all danger and
/ Inconvenience except slight illness.
| He followed the same game at
Greensburg and Connersville before
coming to Richmond.
