PRESIDENT SYKES SPEAKS
 ON WOMEN'S COLLEGE. Tells Hartford Audience of His Aims for New Connecticut institution.

Dr. Frederick H. Sykes, recently elected president of the Connecticut College for Women, soon to be estab-
 lished at New London, was the guest of honor Tuesday afternoon at luncheon at the Hartford club given by the trustees of the new college who
 live in Hartford and vicinity and at a
 reception given by the College club at
 the Center church house The luncheon
 was served in one of the private dining
 rooms of the clubhouse at 1 o'clock
 and the reception at which Dr. Sykes
 gave a brief address on plans and aims
 of the new college was held in the au
 ditorium of the Center church house from 4 to o'clock
 Those who attended the dinner, be
 sides Dr. Sykes. were Mrs P V. Mary NJ. Partridge. Miss Elizabeth C.
 Wright, Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, Mayor Louis R. Cheney, F. Valentine Chappell and Dean Henry P. Wright of Yale university.
 More than 200 people attended the reception, many of them prominent in educational circles. In the receiving line with Dr. Sykes were Mrs. $. H. and Miss Wright. Among the visitors were President Ellen F. Pendleton of Wellesley college, President Ffavel $. Luther of Trinity college and Mrs. Luther and Prof. Edward s. Capen of the Hartford school of missions.
 Dr. Sykes in his address describing the origin and scope of the new col lege said in part:
 Hartford is the birthplace of Con- necticut college. Surely, that connec- ton can be commemorated in some significant and lasting way in the ac- tual college soon to be built magine, for instance, the college hall, a noble structure, rising the dominant point of a superb landscape, the logical cen- ter of an architectural plan, a hall dedicated to the humanities-to litera- ture and languag ges. to history and the social sciences, the administrative cen ter as well of the whole college
 Now that building could be. if you will it, the gift of Hartford: the gift of the men of Hartford to the women of Hartford. if that is better. That could be a memorial of the devotion of Hartford women to the cause of education in Connecticut col lege, bearing the inscription high over Women from the Women of Hartford
 At first sight Hartford seems the natural site for the college, but, after seeing the locations of many universi- ties in Europe and the United States, I am convinced that the site selected is as fine as any college has. The site is level elongated hillside, with a view of 15 to 20 miles in every direc- ton. We can build so as to fully sat isfy the claims of beauty. We hope to find an architect of genius who can design buildings that will be worthy the beauty of the site. The college is in the educational world. and I think that we shall have an attendance to thousand in a few years"

 SILK AND WOOL RATE.

Washington, April 6.-Representa- tive Mahan, after considering the pa pers submitted to the delegation by the Cheney Brothers of South Man chester, says he is inclined to take up their side of the question of duties on their product. They ask in their brief that the specific duties be restored in stead of the ad valorem duties pro- vided for in the bill under considers ton. When the silk schedule Is reached MT. Lonergan and MT. Mahan will support a return to the old sys- tenn of taxing this product.
 Congressman Mahan said he had labored with members of the ways and means committee to secure a change in the rate of manufactured woolen products. Raw wool on the free list is all right, but 35 per cent. ad valorem on manufactured goods is considered by the manufacturers in his district as being too lew

The Conyict-His Family-Law.

1t is urged that convicts must not
be kept idle, that they must earn heir
living, that the people should not be
taxed to feed and clothe an army of
criminals, and so forth, and so forth.
Let us see how this works. The
state arrests a young fellow, who, let
us say, in drunken quarrel has stab
bed companion. He is hurried away
to prison. He is brought into court,
tried and convicted. He is sent to
prison for five years or for ten years,
or for life. All the while a young
Wife and half dozen little children
are left without their natural pro-
tector and support. They huddle in a
corner of the court room. They hear
the lawyers yawp. They listen to the
verdict. The case is closed. The
young father is bundled off in one
direction in chains. The young fami-
ly is turned off in another in tears.
The State takes the time, the earn
ings of one to itself, leaving the
despair. The boys grow up thieves.
The girls grow up harlots. The law
is vindicated. The taxpayer is pro-
tected. The criminal classes are re-
plenished. Is it not damnable? Does
not the society which tolerates such
monstrosities deserve all the evils it
entails upon itself? The state has no
right to take that mans labor from
his wife and children and give them
no equivalent. 1t should punish the
guilty, not the innocent. Every dol
lar that is deverted in this way from
the natural needs of the helpless to
the uses of the public. is base blood
money that should and does carry
with 1t the curse of God.-Gafney

DIR. ROPERs FIRST YEAR.

His Church In Petersburg Has Made
Wonderful Progress Since His Pas
tOrate Began.
The following from the Petersburg,
Va, Daily Progress will be read with
great pleasure in Laurens, his native
county, where DR.. Roper has many
relatives and hundreds of friends,
who have always been interested in
his many successes:
Rev. Dr. l.. M. Roper on yesterday
entered upon his second year as pas
tor of the First Baptist church.
During the past year the church
in all departments has shown great
growth as result of new life in
fused by DR.. Roper, who has not only
won the love of every member of his
congregation but the esteem of the
entire community
The attendance at Sunday school
a year ago was 25S; at the first ami
versary of DR.. Ropers pastorate the
attendance was $40, a gain of 50 in
the year.
The attendance upon church ser
vice has increased 100 per cent. for
both morning and evening, and the
Sunday evening congregation is now
one of the largest in the city.
During the year there have been
81 additions to the churches by con-
version and baptism and 43 by letter
and restoration. This does not re-
cord any of the fruits of the recent
revivals in the city but only the grad
ual increase in the regular work of
the church.
The pastors salary has been in
creased $500 during the year and the
finances of the church were never in
better condition than at the present
time. The second Offering for for
eign missions, which has just been
gathered, is nearly twice as large as
the first offering which DR.. Roper
secured one year ago.

nouncement of the result of the cam
paign made at a dinner at the Y. M.

In the campaign and many citizens,
was the occasion for great celebra-
tion, attended with much oratory.
Before the meeting came to a close
G.. p. Hammond, trustee of the In
dustrial Textile institute, made a
statement concerning the affairs of
that institution, announcing subscrip-
tions to its building fund, most of
them made during the week, amount
ing to $4,000, Just $4,000 short of the
fund needed to put the whole project
through. Within three minutes more
than $4,000 was subscribed to this
fund and many of the workers In the
campaign fund pledged their efforts
to this cause within the next few
weeks.
1t was stated by Aug. w. Smith in
brief address made during the even
ing that the city of Spartanburg had
given within the last three years more
than 100000 to It's schools, colleges.
