WILLIAM SMITH.

William Smith was the first provost of the College of Philadelphia, now the University of Pennsylvania-and he was born 190 years ago today, June 25, TIPS. The institution of which Smith was the first head was launched by Benjamin Franklin, who organized a board of trustees in 1749, and, after obtaining $2,OOO by sub scription, was elected trustee of a building in Fourth street, near Arch, where instruction began in 1751. Two years later the institution was incor- porated as 'The Trustees of the Academy and Charitable School in the Province of Pennsylvania" Will liam Smith, the first provost, visited England to secure funds for carrying on the work, and returned with about s3O 900. With this and an added sum, obtained by holding a lottery
 another edifice was erected for the accommodation of students from the West Indies. When the revolution broke out Dr. Smith, who was consid- cred a friend of Great Britain, was imprisoned, but he continued to hear recitations from his cell. The char ter was revoked, but in 17S9 the old faculty and trustees of the College ot | Philadelphia were reinstated, and ir
 the year 1791 the name was changtd to the University of Pennsylvania William Smith was noted as his | torian as well as an educator.

CARDINAL FARLEY ORDERS MASS FOR
 VICTORY BY U. s

New York, June 26-In a circular letter addressed to the rectors of all the Roman Catholic churches in the New York archdiocese Cardinal Farley recommends that a special mass be said in each church on Independence Day "for the welfare of our country and the victory of American arms"
 The Cardinal writes as follows: "Our people have given ample proof of the quality of their Americanism, but a solemn declaration of their steadfast and unqualified allegiance to our dear land before Gods altar can not fail to inspire and enthuse them. The war is beginning to pinch.
 'It will call for great sacrifices of men and means. A loyal people will bear such sacrifices cheerfuIly and will support every measure proposed by the national government as neces- sary for our defense.
 Loyalty, therefore, in the case of the non-combatants means sacrifices that the men who are fighting for us may have sufficient munitions of war.
 Independence Day must have this year a more solemn significance. The war is a new declaration of Ameri- ca's freedom to be maintained at the cost of considerable suffering and hardship.
 q would recommend that it's ob- servance have a more religious char acter than is usual and that a mass which the people should be invited to attend be celebrated in every church for the welfare of our country and the victory of American arms.''
