]. Cleveland Cady:-My friends, It
is with great pleasure that the De-
rea Association welcomes you this
evening to its annual gathering. in
the past these gatherings have been
less public, and have had the charm
of intimacy, but the speaking has
been so strong and appealing. and
the influence so deep, that We have
often wished that we had many more
to enjoy the occasion with us. This
evening, on account of the near prox-
unity of the birth of that great
American, Abraham Lincoln, and be-
cause we are to have the pleasure of
having with us our old friend now the
distinguished Governor of New Jer-
sey, this greater gathering has : been
possible; but, that 1t may not lose
the charm of the former ones. l am
going to consider you, in our well
come, as members of the Berea Asso-
citation. This great metropolis exer-
cises an influence far and wide,
reaching the remotest cities and the
most isolated hamlets with an influ-
ence for good OF i'll. Now, some
high minded people have seen in
this a great advantage to send to
the more destitute portions of the
country influences of helpfulness
and of blessing. And surely that is
a very patriotic thing, for the more
favored sections of the country to
send helpfulness to the weaker ones.
To whom shall we send, and to whom
shall we give our efforts?
Now. and l do not blush to say it,
the Berea Association has a qualifi-
cation that is perhaps essentially
American. 1t is that we know a
good thing when we see it, and when
we realize that there are 3,000,-
900 mountain people who came from
the purest English and Scotch an
cestry generations ago, coming TO
this country, naturally taking to the
mountains, and owing to peculiar cir
cumstances have remained there, in
sort of cold storage, though not
with the depreciation that We feel
takes place in our food under similar
circumstances, it would seem that
there was a great population from
which the highest class of American
citizens could be made,
The people OF this region, large
minded, generous-hearted toward wo-
men and children, surely it is q
most interesting population. And
we saw coming among these noun
tain people, a champion, a man OF

Hon. Seth Low:-Mr. Cady, Ladies
and Gentlemen: Bcrea College stands
for one of the most interesting bits
Of educational work being done in
the United States at the present time.
And 1t has peculiar interest for
every American, | think, because of
its history. First of all, as Mr.. Cady
has told you. 1t is In the State of
Kentucky, under the foothills Of the
Cumberland mountains. Now, 1t is
related in the readings that have
come down to us from ancient Greece
that seven cities commended for the
honor of being the birthplace Of
Homer. l may almost say that every
state in our majestic union ia env:-
Gus of Kentucky. because she has
the peculiar honor of having been
the birthplace OF Lincoln. (Applause)
So then, first Of all, Berea is in
Kentucky, where they raise men
that are worth educating.
What the mountaineer can do for
us do not know. but know what
one man from Kentucky did for-this
country and for the world. Under
God he was the leader of this peo-
pie In preserving the Union, and that
hand, a hand like yours and mine,
wrote on the pages Of history words
that are so luminous that whole
race and land are free, because they
are living in the light OF them. ZAP

WOLGAST AND M'FARLAND May Meet at Milwaukee in Ten Round Bout, According to Present Outlook.

Milwaukee, Wis July 20-Ad Vol gast and Packey Mcfarland may yet be opponents here in 8, ten round bout in place of Mcfarland and Matt Wells. The latter pair have signed articles for ten round no-decision affair here early in September, although a change may be made.
 Champion Wolgast has sent word to Mcfarland that unless he signs to meet him in a ten round go in Milwau- kee he never will consider him as an opponent for a 20 round go on the coast later, and it is possible that Packey will accede to the champions demands and sign up.
 Should Wolgast and Mcfarland be unable to agree on a bout, Wells will go on with Mcfarland before the Badger A. c. on Sept. 12.
 George Mcdonald, manager of Wells, today wired from Albany. N. Y., that all terms of the local match were ac- ceptable and that his $500 forfeit was on the way.

Papke and Klauss. were all from 10 o 15 pounds heavier.
 Thompson, until a year ago, was fighting in the lightweight division, when Hugh Mcintosh Australian box ing promoter, made him an offer to go to Australia and take part in several matches he arranged for him. On ar irving on the other side of the world, Johnny took oh weight so fast he was forced to box in the middIeweight class and, being offered a chance at Papke, readily accepted. Reports of the fight from Australian papers give Johnny credit for giving Papke the worst beat ing of his career.
 With both men in the pink of con- dition, the members of the National club will undoubtedly see one of the most bitter contests of the season, as Thompson is of the rushing, tearing sort, and Lewis will have to use all of his ring strategy (for which he Is noted) to keep out of harms way. On the other hand, Lewis will depend mostly on his ability to beat Thomp- son to the punch, and if Willie can drop that right hand over as the Cy- clone comes tearing in Johnny may take an unlocked for sleep.

The order of the interstate commerce commission for a readjustment of transcontinentaI freight rates and reports of the pres ent gravity of the situation in Europe as regards Morocco were of sufficient Influence to bring on heavy selling movement. The market lost it's indif- ferent tone and trading increased largely.
 Wall street was more concerned with the broad principle of railroad rate regulation enunciated by the interstate commerce commission than in the re- auctions in rates ordered. Varying views were expressed as to the effect upon security values. but the situa- ton is so complicated that no clearly outlined opinion was evolved.

Opposing pitchers who figure that Crawford is too dangerous and walk him to get Delehanty up find they have made a serious mistake, for when it comes to getting hits with men on the bases Del is in a class by him self. If the Tigers win the flag this year Delehanty will deserve as much credit for the victory as any mah on the team. He has recovered from the injury which slowed him up early ;n the spring. and is now playing a good game at first base, much to the de- light of Jennings, who was doubtful if his team could stay in the race with Gainor on the hospital Ist.-Fxchapg
