Wheel Cheap 2r will "lose caste" by r.ot doing what oilier eastern universities do, president Hadley replies: "To the alleged danger of losing caste I am not disposed to pay Berlous attention. A university maintains its rank by doing public service. Any institution wnicn attempts to evade this duty In the hope of attracting a superior class of stud ents, hazards its permanent influence in the community for the sake of a gain that is likely to be temporary and elusive. And if there is any college in the land which ought to be guided by considerations of public service, and set aside every question of caste, it is Yale. To separate her private interest from the public interest would be a violation of every tradition of the place." The central issue in the whole discussion is summarized as follows: "We are face to face with a broad question of principle, which our universities must decide.

Shall we require every candidate for the so-called learned professions to spend a certain length of time In his secondary education and let him study what he pleases during that time, or shall we let him spend in secondary education such time as his pecuniary circumstances and personal interests allow, and have his course of, study adapted thereto, believing that for efficient professional study, as well as for other lines of intellectual effort, the habit of hard work Is of more value than the question of seniority? If we adopt the former alternative, we shall say to the high schools, 'We will accept anything you may choose to teach as a basis of our college course, but will shut out from our professional schools those who have not the time to superadd a college course to that which you are able to If we choose the other alternative we shall say to the masters of secondary schools, 'For those who wish to treat the course In high school or academy as part of their secondary education we will Indicate that studies form a proper basis for three or four years of subsequent non-professional work in a college; but for those who wish to treat the course in high school or academy B.1 the whole of their secondary education we will throw open the doors of our professional schools to all who have the necessary basis of knowledge, no matter where they have acquired In spite of the weight of authority in favor of the former plan, the whole report argues very strongly in favor of the acceptance of the latter, as being more democratic in Its basis, more serviceable to the public in its outcome, no less salutary for the schools of law and medicine themselves, and far more salutory for the colleges, the preparatory schools, and the relations between the different parts of the edur cational system of the country.

Commencement Banq.net. About 1,000 graduates attended the commencement day banquet In the new Memorial Dining Hall this afternoon.

Henry Cabot Lodge, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, Professor Rockwell Lanman of Harvard, Rev. William R.

Huntington of New York, James Whitcomb Riley, Robert Curtis Ogden of Philadelphia, and ex-President Timothy Dwlght. Mr. Lodge, the first called, said that no honor could be more high appreciated by a Harvard alumnus than to be given an honorary degree by Yale University. Yale and Harvard were regarded by the younger men in the brotherhood as rivals, but when they pass out into the world they find that Yale and Harvard men generally are found working side by side in the same interests for the promotion of civic righteousness, and that when the country calls upon men to defend her the graduates of the two universities mentioned are side by side. The calumny and abuse to which public men ars eubjected does not worry any man subjected to It If he is worth anything, but when misunderstandings by those who ought to know the motives of the public man oppress him he is deeply pained.

For this reason he appreciates all the more highly the friendly encouragement and appreciation of friends. For that reason. Senator Lodge said, he should personally appreciate greatly the honor Yale had Cone him to-day Sn conferring upon him the degree of doctor of laws, being an expression of confidence in him and esteem on the part of a great university. It Is one of the few honors that cannot be bought for money and is therefore the more to be valued-President Butler of Columbia at some length discussed the remarks of President Hadley regarding the question of admission of students to professional schcoie without the necessity of college preparation. He wild that the question would not be settled until settled rifThtly, ar.d President Hadley's of it woM maka It a Hvlc Issue.

I working. He stated mat it is not nn ished, but he presented It because he had been requested, to. was aeugnv ful in sentiment, Rev. Dr. Huntington made an address that was very well received.

ident Dwlght concluded with a fare well address to the graduates. He was cheered repeatedly. Yale China MUnion. In President Hadley's morning address reference was made to the plan of a group of Yale men to establish a mission in the far East. This mission, which is the first of its kind to be established by graduates of any American college, is to be conducted along the broadest lines, carrying on evangelistic, medical and especially educational work in a large student center in North China.

The American board has promised its moral support and its cooperation in certain practical matters, such as the purchase and distribution of supplies. The mission is to be under the lead ership of Rev. Harlan P. Beach, '78, at present educational secretary of the student volunteer movement, and from 18S3 to 1890 a missionary In China. The mission is to be controlled by a council of forty men who have consented to serve in this capacity, with, the following oflicers: President, Rev.

Timothy Dwight, vice-president. Rev. Edwin S. Lines of this city; corresponding secretary, William Sloane of New York city; treasurer, Pierce N. Welch of this city.

The Congregational, Episcopalian, Pres byterian and Baptist Churches are thus represented. All details of administration will be left to an executive committee, consisting at present of the following Yale men who have developed the plans for the mission and raised an Installation fund of about $20,000: Deans Sanders and Wright; F. Wells Williams, professor of Oriental history at Yale; Rev. James W. Cooper, of the corporation; Rev.

Harlan P. Bach, secretary of the student volunteer movement; Arthur C. Williams of Hartford, '98, Professor Edward B. Reed; and Anson Phelps Stokes, the secretary of the university. Professor Reed will act as executive secretary.

The medical examiner is to be Dr. Walter James of New York city. Rev. Lawrence Thurston, '98, who has been studying at the Hartford Theological Seminary, will go to China this fall, spending the year studying the language. It is expected that in time Yale will send out a score of men to this mission who will do a broad work for Christian education In China.

Derby, June 25. Peter Reed, aged E2, attempted to kill his wife to-day, and later committed suicide at the jail by taking a large quantity of carbolic acid. The quarrel between Reed and his wife arose over money matters. Some time ago the court ordered Reed, who is an old soldier, to divide his pension money with his wife. G.

H. Ennis, Mrs. Reed's attorney, was talking to the woman at her home when Reed entered. Mr. Ennis says Reed ordered him to get out and, pulling a revolver, attempted to shoot him, but the cartridge failed to explode.

The attorney says Reed then turned his weapon upon his wife, inflicting wounds in the abdomen and one in the leg. She was removed to the hospital. Reed was overpowered and his weapon taken away from him, after which he was removed to the police station. He was bleeding freely from the wounds which were inflicted by his son, with whom he struggled for possession of the revolver after the shooting, and requested Chief of Police Arnold to go to his house and bring a suit case which contained a change of clothing. The chief complied with the request, and when he returned, he asked Reed for the key to open it.

He was unable to unlock the case and put it on the floor close to the cell door so that the prisoner could open it. Reed quickly opened the case, and as the cover was lifted he shot his hand tnrougn tne ceu aoor ana snatched a small bottle from within the. case. Be fore Arnold could realize the object of this move Reed swallowed the contents of the bottle carbolic acid. The chief soon smelled the acid, however, and summoned a physician.

Too large a quantity of the poison had been taken. however, and Reed died half an hour later. Physicians at the hospital stated to-night that the chance for Mrs- Reed a recovery were small. SHORT OF COAL. Sonthlngrton Manufacturers Seriously Embarassed.
