Conn., Special.?Rep >M resentatives of many people ami ^ creeds, of the learned professions and of the industries and literature wero honored by Yale University Wednesday, and in turn paid homage to the great institution of learning, which is celebrating the completion of the second century of its existence, as they marched behind Yale's colors, delegates to the great festival, and participated in the closing functions of the celebration. The closing exercises cf the bi-ceatennial were officially commemorative. They were held in the Hyperion Theatre. Classical music, a commemorative poem and a Greek festival hymn, both composed for the occasion. a commemorative address by David J. Brewer, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and finally, the clothing with the hood of the honorary degrees of great men. "Thps-> constituted the day's exercises. President Roosevelt and party arrived at 9:30. Though the crowd at the station here was a big one and demonstrative in its welcome to the President, the police arrangements enabled the party to leave the train and pass to carriages waiting without difficulty. President Hadley. of Yale, and Mayor John P. Studley, were on hand to receive the distinguished guest, and after an exchange of greetings, briefly, the ride toward the University campus was begun by way of State and Chapel streets. The escort included a representation of the naval and military forces of the State. Upon arrival at the campus, the President was conducted to Battell chapel, and after a brief rest there, was escorted to his place in the academic procession. President Roosevelt and President Hadley entered the theatre at 10:30. The President of the United States was led by the University president to the seat of honor directly behind the orator's desk. President Hadley took his seat beside mm. un mis piauuiiu Joseph H. Choate. John Hay. Richard Olnev. ChiQf Justice Melville W. Fuller and Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court; President Eliot, of Harvard; Patton, of Princeton; Faunce, of Brown; Harper, of Chicago; Provost Harrison, of Pennsylvania.and ' other college presidents, besides literary men and Churchmen of distinction. Admiral Sampson, apparently in illhealth. did not enter the procession. He made his way to his place through a side door and leaning on the arm of Prof. W. W. Farnam, was shown to h;.3 sett. When the long list had been finished, President Hadley advanced a step or two and with great impressiveness said: "There yet remains one name." In an instant the great audience was standing. The President of the United States also arose and the theatre rang with cheers. The air was filled with waving handkerchiefs and programmes. Remarking that -ale had chosen for the degree this candidate before he became President, President I'ldlsv announced that all Yale men were now doubly honored by greeting the man and the President as a son of Yale. Specially addressing President Roosevelt. President Hadley spoke as follows: "Theodore Roosevelt, while you were yet a private citizen we offered you most worthily the degree tf LL. D. Since in His providence, it has pleased God to give Theodore Roosevelt another title, we give him on tba. account a double portion of welcome. He is a Harvard man by nurture, but we are proud to think that in his dem ocratic spirit, his broad national sympathies and, above all. his clearness and purity and truth he will be glad to be an adopted sou of Yale. Georgia Officers to Re Arrested. Atlanta. Special.?Gov. Candler has .acceded to the request of Governor Avcock. of North Carolina, that two Georgia officers. Sheriff Lovnigood, of Fannin county, and his deputy, be sent to Murphy. N. C., for trial be cause they crossed the State line ?uul arrested an alleged criminal. The Georgia officers are charged with jL kidnapping and will, it is underetood go without, a requisition. V groes Murder Hsch Other. Sclma. Ala..

Thro are reported, one being near Drov. '? station, where a negro man m?; his paramour in the cotton field nnd pulled out a knife and stabbed her hrough the heart.

It. Kooster collector of internal revenue for the district of South Carolina, to succeed W. L. Webster, deceased. The appointment was announced shortly before the departure of the presidont for New Haven. With the appointment the following statement was issued: "Mr. Koester is a prominent Gold Democrat, and has been recommended for the position by a large number of influential business men and representative citizens not only of South Carolina. but of North Carolina and elsewhere." The appointment of Mr. Koester terminates a controversy which began upon Mr. Roosevelt's accession ro the presidency. It was in connection with this appointment and that of ex-Governor Jones to a federal judgeship in Alabama that the president announced that his policy in regard to southern appointments would be to name suitable. Republicans if they could bo found, and if not. to appoint Demo- j crats. Mr. Blalock. who has been prominent in the Republican party at j South Carolina, was first understood to be slated for this position, but tho I president later decided not to appoint him.' Subsequently. Senator McLaurin, | j whom the president consulted about j ! the matter suggested the name of Mr. J Koester, who is known in the State r>s an Independent Democrat. The president sent for Mr. Koester and had a personal Interview with him last Saijrday evening. The Charleston Exposition. Charleston, Special?The following announcement was handed the Asso| riated Press for the purpose of eorree' ting many misrepresentations which j have been made by unauthorized pcr| sons in regard to the condition of the ' work at Charleston. The work is far, ther advanced at this period than any previous exposition ever held in this | country and there is no reason why the exposition should not be comple; ted in time for the opening day: "The board of directors of the South | Carolina Inter-State and West Indian exposition beg to announce to the people of the United States that the expo! sition will open on Monday, Deo. 2, 1901, with a preliminary religious Ger vice at the exposition grounds on Sunday, Dec. 1. The principal oration Ht the opening ceremonies will be delivered by Senator Chauncey M. De! pew of New York. The board of di rectors feel assured that there will ha I no delay in the opening of the exposition." Judge Benet to Retire. The announcement that Judge Win. i Christie Benet would retire from the jCinmt bench lias caused no little surj prise. Judge vtrnet is one of the i most aggressive members of the CirI cuit Court and a mar of superior iiitellectual powers. His plans are not j known, but it is whispered that he j may become a c: ndidate for the United States Senate. The campaign would be an intellectual treat with such speakers as Benet, Hemphill and George Johnstone. The latter is regarded as a master of the English language and Judge Benet is a man j of great versatility. ricLaurin for the Cabinet. Columbia. Special.?It is believed here by many people that Senator McLaurin will get a place in the cabinet of President Roosevelt and that he has simply taken care of his friend Koester before he leaves the political affairs of this State. Others think that this is but an indication that MoLaurin will endeavor to capture all the Federal patronage in this State. Big Appropriations. Washington, Special.?In the esti- j mates for the coming year, the chief of the Bureau of Ordnance reeom- J mends to the Secretary of the Navy i that $117,500 be appropriated for the purchase of lanu and general improvements at the naval magazines at St. Julian Creek: $2,000 for water system etc., at Fort Uorfolk: $2,000 for dredging and repairs at St. Helena, all near Norfolk, Ya.

The growth of apples for market h.a: come to be a great and profitable industry in a number of counties in North Carolina, and there is every rea1 r\fi 1 .1 ouii wujr iuu uuouuis siiuuiu uo ittiy:' where now only one bushel is raised It is a crop that can be grown with less labor than any other profitable crop and one which is as certain ol sure returns in at least a large section of the State. A private letter to the editor of this paper from a friend in Wilkesboro gives this example of profit In apple-growing: "Our town is one of the leading produce points of the State. We have several firms handling apples in large quantities. A gentleman sold the apples on his orchard yesterday for $550, cash in advance, purchasers to take the fruit from the trees. It is a mountain farm and not considered very valuable at that. There is good money in orchards here if properly looked after." The North Carolina exhibit of fine apples at Charleston will be one of the ' sights atthat great Southern Exposition. It will show the world what North Carolina orchards' produce.? Raleigh News and Observer. A Big Cotton Mill. The big nc-w "Loray" mills at Gastonia, N. C., which have just completed a reorganisation (this time being Incorpdrated under the laws of Maine), are now rapidly approaching completion. The capacity of the complete plant will be 50,000 spindles and about 1,700 looms and the management states that it is the intention to install ahout half that amount of machinery at first and start the plant early in November, adding the remainder as soon as possible. The power plant is already completed, the water system perfected, the main building completed and partly equipped. This mill will be one of the best built and equipped as well as the largest mills, in North Carolina. President George A. Gray is one of the ablest and most experienced mill men in the South, and that the mill will be a great success is generally predicted by Carolina mill men.?American cotton Reporter. Another Rice Mill. The development of rice-milling in Louisiana continues steadily. The latest new mill to be completed in the State is that of the Iota Rice Milling Co.. at Iota, in Acadia parish.

The quality and quantity of rice produced in the Iota district promise J. successful existence for the new plant. A State Sugar Mill. The State of Texas will erect a sugar mill to cost from $150,000 to $200,000 i on the Clemens farm, in Brazoria couni ty. The financial agent of the penitentiary board has been authorized to take Che necessary steps for establishing the plant. The products of the State farm are pledged to pay for the mill. Industrial Miscellany. C. \V. Tebault, of Norfolk. Va., promoter of the Norfolk Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.. has issued a prospectus of the enterprise, announcement of which was made last month. The capitalization will be $5,000,000 instead of $2,000,000, as was at first intended, and $1,000,000 have already been sub scrided. A tract of land on Hampton Roads has been secured as site for the plant, and steps are to be taken for completing all the arrangements soon, so that active work on its construction may be commenced. Governor McSweeny of South Carolina has been notified by a citizen of Hampton county that he has discovered a supposed phosphate deposit in that county. Samples of the rock have been sent, to the State geologist for analysis. It is stated that a bill Is being prepared providing for the establishment of a branch in Macon, Go., of the Stat-3 School of Technology for the purpose of giving instruction In manufacturing kaolin and fire-clays. The bin will be introduced in the house by one of the renresentatives from Bibb county, and will call for an appropriation of $10.000 which amount will be duplicated by Macon citizens. Contract has been awarded for the construction of a bridge at Hinton, \V. Va., to cost about $15,000. This bridge will be owned and operated by the Hinton-Xew River Bridge Co.. and it will be not only a source of revenue to its owner, but also enhance property values in the town and nearby county. The structure will b^ of stone and steel. 12?0 feet long, with IS foot roadway. and be CO feet above low water, The American Bridge Co.. of New York was the successful bidder. Prospectors who have been examining the phosphate beds of the Sumner Phosphate Co., in Sumner county Tennessee, have found rock existing in larger quantities than at first supposed. The Creatness cf Little Objects. ? It was a saying of Henry Ward y Beecher that "the little things of life f give us the most trouble." The common house-fly was his favorite illustration. 0 More than half the diseases that destroy human life are produced by pesti- ^ j Iences too small to be seen by the naked ~ eye. The plagues that destroy animal life are of the same invisible origin. j 1 And practically all the ravaging of the Q crops is dene by small insects and 1 worms. c] Not less true is it that the good C( t things of the world, the things that make p] i it a more comfortable world to live in. 5 t arc mostiy little things. Of the about g. t 600 patents every week granted to in- n( ventors in this country 550 are for small 1 mechanical devices of general every- a, day utility. The electrical candl?. that lights at the touch of your finger, the ot folding umbrella that you can drop into , a small handbag or carry in your over- C3 coat pocket, the machine that cuts green w corn from the cc-b and the oil-can that p] 1 can't explode are good types of the little C) inventions that are really great. n< > The great era-making inventions, like ci the telephone and the telegraph, are ne- I cessarily few and far between, and only r< 1 in a few instances have their real an- ju thors made any considerable money out be of them. The little mechanical novel- ta ties, counted by thousands, usually bring tr their creators a fair reward and often a large fortune.?\'rw York IVorld. w Maenetism of the Earth. at It is well known that clay baked in a m brick furnace is magnetized along an fj, 1 axis which corresponds to the axis of ne the terrestrial magnetic field at the mo- re mcnt of baking, and it is notworthy that ac the magnetization is very permanent. On _ these facts M. Folghereiter has founded a method of studying the inclination of the magnetic needle in antiquity. He determines the direction of the magnetic axis of pottery of Etruscan and Roman times. The declination of the needle cannot be determined in this way on account of the impossibility of know> ing exactly how the vases stood in the baking ovens; we know that they stood vertically, but no one can say which side was to the front. It is quite possible that this method may be extended to determinations referring to geologic cp- B ochs by observing the direction of magnetization of clay strata that have been transformed into brick by flows of hot lava. The latter question is now being studied in the volcanic region of the Puv-de-Domc in France.?Xew York Sun. The Real Throne of Britain.

Vhereto Find Its N?st, and Mow It Feeds Its Young. In St. Nicholas, Henry Haley writes f the ruby-throated humming-bird. The hummirg-birds builds on the uper side of, a braach ,a branch generlly about the size of the nest. The est is beautifully felted with fine white cgetable down and studded on the outdc with fine lichens and minute specks f bark like the branch itself. They do not seem to retire to seuded places to build; they are as ec riuiiv. in mcir tiiuitc ui a ntrsunglacc as in their nature and habits, ome suppose their nests are near the irdens or vines they visit; but that is Dt often the ease. A few magic vibraons of the wings, and they are far ,vay in a few seconds. The last nest I found was on the iter end of a branch of silver poplar lat hung over a public road; every irfiagc-top that passed under it was ithin a tew feet of the nest?the last ace in the world where I should have cpccted to find such a nest. I should >t have seen it except that I was acdentally looking up into the tree, and saw. protruding over the side of the ?st. the long, fine #bill that happened -t then to stir. The nest might have en passed hundreds of times and been ken for a small knot unless thus beayed. These birds lay but two eggs, tiny hite morsels. The young birds when st hatched are curious little things, id feed by inserting their bills in the ouths and throats of their parents. As e food of the parents -is composed of ctar and fine insects, it is easily made ady for the little ones' tiny stemhs. My Lungs " An attack of la grippe left me with a bad cough.
