THE EXDCA3IE SHORTLY AFTER 10. His Physicians Underestimated His Wonder ful Vitality. SOME TBA1TS OF THE DEAD STATESMAN Ottawa .'June G. Sir John JIacdonald is no more. -The distinguished statesman who has guided the political destinies of- Canmla for nearly half a century passed peacefully away at 10.13to-mght surrounded by the household. Lady 3Iacdonald, whoborc up v bravely during the fatal illness is now pronrated with grief. All the church bells are tolling and thousands of citizens are ex pressing deep regret at the Premier's demKe. For hours members of the household had been watching at the bedside waiting to see life depart. Although the physicians de- Sir .Tdm A. J'acdontcU ilared H-t night that bir Johu could not Mirvhe until morning, they had not made allowance for his nurelou vitality. He i.ad lost consciousness 30 hours ago and had taken no nourishment since, save small quantities of champagne, which were ad ministered v ith difficulty. A 1 ery Tenacious Constitution. Tiie Premier, sick unto death, kept tip the unequal struggle until after 10 o'clock to-night, l'or daj s it is assumed he re sisted the ine itable by the sheer force of his powerful ill, but yesterday conscious ness disappeared, ncicr to return. In the ensuing period nature, no longer restrained, asserted itself; life's: fire, already burning low, flickered and smouldered as if the soul would leave its earthly tabernacle at each successive brcatk At 10 o'clock tills morning, hundreds who called to make inquiry realized that all hopes had vanished forfcver. TmVt news from the sick room was more discouraging than ever. A "strange and leaden color o crspread his countenance, and his extrem ities assumed an icy coldness. Xo one would recognize in the dving nfan one - est- e ot resemblance to the great political leader. Tears trickled from the eves of Itev. J. J. Bogart, rector of St. Albans Episcopal Church, as he passed through the gate and encountered a throng of newspaper men. He had just left the houe where, assembled in the parlor on the first floor, the grief stricken household had listened to the read ing of the offices of the visitation. The End Comes at Last Once or tw ice the watchers at the bedside thought that death had taken place, and Dr. Pow ell, holding the Premier's pulse, dis co ered only a faint trace of life. For three hours before the sad e ent, Lady Macdonald nc er left the room for an instant The other watchers included Mary, her invalid daughter, Hugh John Macdonuld, the Premier's son, Job Pope, Sir John's faithful Private Secretary, and near friends of the family. At 10 r. m. a complete collapse set in. In the succeeding few minutes the Premier's breathing became more and more labored, and only the slightest flutter of the heart indicted life's presence. At 10.15 the Pre mier gave a few long inspirations, and with out a struggle or the slifigtest evidence of pain passed away. The funeral is likely to take place Tues day, and will be of a state character. On that day the body will likely be removed to the Senate Chamber and lie in state for four or five hours. The interment will sub pequentlv take place at Kingston, Ontario, where the Premier's first wife and his father are buried. Not a Stickler for Consistency. Sir John as he. was familiarly known all over the Dominion was one ofthe clev erest men of his time, and would have won distinction ip a wider field than that of Colonial politics had the accident of birth not placed him in Canada. He was a poli tician that was nearly a statesman and a speaker that at times just missed being eloquent. Gifted with rare boldness and plausibilitj , he showed himself capable of originating striking com binations and of ghing his ideas practical eflect For consistency he naturally had but little regard. "Sufficient unto the dav is the record thereof micht be called life motto; nevertheless the inconsistency wai j noi in mnjeeii, out in nis surroundings for wherever he found himself or whatever he did, it was with a single aim the success of hie party. Sir John was not a selfish man, and at the end of years of public life, nearly 40 of which were passed in office, he was very little richer than when he entered it He had his official salary and allowances, and a few years ago the Conservaties raised a fund to secure for their leader a liberal al lowance during lif". This, with the delight of political battle with his peers and of ad ministering power, can be called his reward. He controlled animmense amount of patron age; he was by no means nice at times in its distribution, and he dared the public indig nation by such transactions as the sale of the Canada Pacific Railroad charter for a" contribution of 200,000 to the campaign fnnd, or the absorption probably for the same purposes of the Secret Service funds (throwing himself upon his privilege as PreraiT when investigation of the latter business was begun V but all this was done for thcadi,intnccor his party or the profit of his friends.

The peculiar feature which distinguished him as a political leader was thtamazing dexterity wherewith lie managed Whold to gether a set of heterogeneous elements national, religious, sectional, personal actuated each of them more by regard to their own individual interests than to the welfare of the united people.

It was, however, of that .genuinely im promptu, unstudied kind which, depending as it did for its brilliancy to a large extent upon the attendant circumstances and the manner accompanying the utterance, ren dered illustration very difficult. OneXew Year's day it devolved, upon Sir John to present his colleague in the. Cabinet to the new Governor General when (hev made their customary formal calk. As it hap pened to be a "verv cqld day, the Secretary of State appeared" in a superh seal skin coat draping him to the knees, and was ac cordingly introduced to His Excellency in miT unexpected Dut appropriate manner: ".My Xord, this is the great seak" Again, during the course -of a rather warm debate last session, Sir John referred, to the gTeat victory he had won in 1882, whereupon a leading member of the opposition called oat, "Why do you not try it again?" allud ing to rumors then prevalent of a dissolu tion being imminent Quick'as lightning came the discomfiting retort, "Because I do not-want to lose the presence of my honora ble friend." Some of His High Honors. Sir John Afacdonald was created a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath in November, 1884; was nominated a member of Her Maj6stv's Privy Council in July, 1872, made a Knight Grand Crovs of the Koval Order of Isabel of bpain m 18i2 and received thc-honomrr de gree of D. C. L. from Oxford University in 18w. He married, first, Isabella, daughter of the late Alexander Clark, Esq., of Dalna vert, Invemesshire, Scotland, who died in 1856, and secondly, in 1867, Susan Agnes, daughter of the late Hon. T. J. Bernard, a member of Her Majesty's Prhy Council pf the island of Jamaica. Endowed with abundant energy, surpassing tact and in tense devotion to her husband's, interests, thoroughlv informed as to all the ouestions of the day, courteous, hospitable, consid erate, Lady Jlabdpnald is the central figure in the social life of the capital and no unim portant factor in its political life also. They had one child. Xo one who knew Sir John could fail to note a resemblance to the late liirl of Bea consfield. TalLand lithe in figure, slightly stooped, as became a lifelong student, with rich, waving locks of fast silvering hair, smooth shaven face, corrugated like a glacier-scarred rock by a network of seams and wrinkles, wherein the most opposite emotions plaj ed hide-and-seek with one an other according to the mood of the moment; bright bird-lite eyes, observant of every thing around, and a quick, gliding step, whose jaunty grace and fast growing burden if years had not yet impaired such were the Premier's most striking physical charac teristics. WRECKED A COMPANY. DIRECTOR YOUNG, OF THE SFItLNG GAKDKN BANK, ARRESTED. The Millward Cliff Cracker Company Claims He Ruined It No Arrest for Looting the Rank Yet "Wnnamaker and the Keystone Trouble. fSrZCIAL TELEGIIAM TO TIIE DISrATCH.l Philadelphia, June 6. Magistrate Devlin this 'afternoon issued a warrant for the arrest of Ephraim Young, one of the directors of the Spring Garden Bank, and he was arrested at a late hour this after noon. The affidavit upon which the war rant of arrest was issued was made by one of the diretcors of the Millward Cliff Cracker Company. It embraced a grave criminal charge against Mr. Young, grow ing out of the failure of the company. The failure was caused by the ii recking of the Spring Garden Bank, and was due to the fact that- a large amount of paper of the Spring Garden Bank, or of Francis "W. Kennedy, was in dorsed by Young, as President of the cracker company." Then, it appears, Young loaned considerable paper made by the company to Francis "W. Kennedy, and the Consequence was that the'eoneem could not iieet its obligations. The charge which was l niaae oy x. urown iieuiem was that Young conspired with Francis "W. Kennedy to cheat and defshud the Millward Cliff Cracker Company out of promissory notes amounting' 534.000. 3Je was held under ?20,000 bail for a hearing on "Wednesday next The arrest of Directors Young and Evans on the charge of aiding and abetting the Kennedys in looting the Spring "Garden Na tional Bank did not take place to-day, though General Fisher, 'the receiver, said to-day that their arrest in the near future is probable and the depositors' committee says that it is certain. The persistent attempts made by what Sir Julian Pauncefote naively describes in his dispatches to Lord Salisbury as the "oppo sition journals" to drag the name of Mr. John "Wanamaker into some discreditable con nection with the Keystone Bank scandal do not appear to disturb in the slightest degree the serene equanimity of the Postmaster General. Mr. "Wanamaker does not hesitate to say that he would appear and tell all he knows as a witness, but there seems no more'reason for calling him or any member of his firm to the stand than anv other denositor. John Wanamaker was a depositor in the Keystone Bank, but not as an individual or an official, but as the firm bearing his name. Discounts were not made on his personal note, but on legitimate commercial paper or on sound collateral, as the books of the bank will officially show. This cannot be construed as a personal favor. Mr. "Wanamakerjas Mr. Lacey himself has stated, knew nothing whatever about the delay in appointing a receiver, nor had Mr. "Wanamaker any knowledge nor did he re quest the appointment of a certain person. Mr. "Wanamaker was on the Pacific coast at the time, but Mr. Lacey's own denial of this false charge settles it without further notice from the Postmaster General. Mr. "Wana maker's maligners, however, see a political point to make in all this, and do not listen to facts. One of the points in the attacks is' J .Mr. h anamaker s credit, but whenever made they never cause a ripple in financial circles in Philadelphia, where Mr. "Wana maker's credit is so solid. "Postmaster General "Wanamaker has been asked to appear before the.Councilmanic Committee. The letter was delivered to Mr. "Wanamaker at his country residence in Jenkintown to-night Auditor General Mc Camant and John and James Dohson, the latter bondsmen and assignees of Bardsley, lu e also been subpoenaed. The mystery of the $ 5130,000 of State money which ei-Treasurcr John Bardsley says he deposited in the Keystone National Bank has been cleared up. The missing money, which has been the great conundrum ever since Bardsley's arrest, has been traced iy Keceiver Yardley, and that official has ac quainted several -members of Councils in vestigating committee with his discovery, but all of the gentlemen in the secret posi tively refuse to tell what they know until the meeting ofthe committee on Monday. llcceiver Yardley said: "I know all about the missing State money, where it came from, how it came and where it went too." ' ""Was 'the money ever deposited in the hank?" j."ThaWiuestion lean only answer in an official manner, and the time for speaking upon that point is not now." A SCANDALJEEOPBrrED.

The National Guard of Pennsylvania paid a just tribute to the memory of Major General John F.1 Hartranft to-day, when a splendid granite obelisk was unveiled over the dead warrior's tomb in Montgomery Cemetery here in the presence of fi,000 troops and Grand Army men, and with eloquent eulogies from Gov ernor Pattison, ex-Go ernor Beaver, General George R.

The military display was a memorable event in the history of Norristown, and the services at the grave were soldier-like in their simplicity and im pressive in their earnestness and fervor. Norristown turned out in gala array for the occasion; nearly every house was dec orated with the National colors, and all business was suspended.

SCANDAIS THAT INVOLVE AMERICANS CCupyrtKht 1891 by tlie New Yorfe Associated Press. Berlin, June 6. If popular discontent were allowed to manifestitself on free lines against the Government's decision to main tain the corn duties, Germany would be ablaze wflfc demonstrations. Since Chan cellor Von Caprivi surprised the country, including the agrarian party, with his de claration that the. existing tariff must re main until, at least, new treaty negotiations with other nations were arranged, the dis satisfaction among workingmen has Become exasperation. JThe political parties which are open to popular emotions are becoming penetrated with the sense that the Government has made a mistake ahd must ere long recon sider its decision in the face of the increas ing prices of certain grains, and especially rye, which forms the staple of food of the people. " Only One Outspoken Supporter. The official press speaks in an apologetic tone of the attitude ofthe Government., The Kordcuteher Qazdte stands almost alone in sustaining energetically the ministerial policy, urging that the suspension of" the duties on cerealsTrould not cheapen breads, while an abolition of the duties would im ply the revision of the whole protectionist tariff in the direction of free trade. The National Liberal organs, while ad mitting the severity of the pressure of dear ness of he staff of life upon workingmen, plead that since all parties accept the prin ciple of suspension, time is most opportune to give effect to it. The Vomsdic Zaiung warns the Government thatthe attitude of the people is assuming a menacing charac ter. The VoraaerU and other Socialist papers have not terms-bitter enough tore-, S roach the ministers. Even the agrarian' 'riutze Zatttnt attacks the Chancellor's pol icy, declaring that the protection party pre fer a temporary suspension of the duties when it is recognized that such action is necessary td the acceptance of. commercial treaties involving a paramount abatement of the tariff. Small Credence in Caprivl's Estimates. The Progressists in the Lower House of the Prussian Diet have vainly tried to get the Ministers to produce the reports on which their decision not to reduce the du ties is alleged to beliased. Chancellor von Caprivi's estimates are held to be of small value beside market facts. The Frcamniijc Zeitung points out that the price of rye is now almost attaining the figure reached during the famine years of 1810 and 1817. As the session of the Landtag will close within a fortnight, there is small chance that the opposition will get time to conduct a Parliamentary aeitation. They are,- there- fore, preparing for a campaign in the coun try. Alie ouciuusis are active, j-iicv iuo the situation and will give energy to the opposition movement in every populous center. Meetings have been held this week. Sixhavebeen,heldinthe Berlin districts, at which addresses were made by Herren Liebknect, -Singer, Auer, Bebel, Schippel and a number of other prominent Socialists. They met an enthusiastic response when they branded the Ministers as starving the masses to the advantage of the classes. Dissensions In the Cabinet. "Within the Cabinet it is reported that 'dissensions are strong. Minister Miquel demands a reduction of jthe duties while Minister- Lucius oppoies. such a course. From various quarters of the country mem orials reach the Government in favor of a suspension of the duties. The "Union of Industrial Associations, after a prolonged debate on the proposal to hold an international exhibition m 1896, appointed a special commission to visit Chancellor von Caprivi aud ask him to ask the Government for its approval of the scheme. "When the scheme was first mooted Emperor "William supported the proposi tion, but Prince Bismarck, who was then all powerful, treated it with something like contempt. The prospect of both national and official support nas greatly improved since then. A Story of AdVenture and Fraud. Emil Seiffert, the American-German ad venturer, who was recently sentenced to two years' imprisonment for defrauding Mrs. McGuire, of Detroit, has succeeded in getting a new trial. As Mrs. McGuire has returned to tne united states and retuses to appear against Seiffert, it is likely that he will go free. Seiffert met Mrs. McGuire in California and made love to her. He in duced her to visit Europe and then de frauded her of large" sums of money. He subsequently eloped with Miss Flanigan, of AVashington, Mrs. McGuire's companion, and married her in London. He returned to Berlin after this and commenced black mailing Mrs. McGuire. He tripped up on his blackmailing scheme, however; was arrested, tried and convicted and sentenced to serve two years. Mrs. McGuire then re turned to her home in America, thinking Seiffert was disposed of. A Professor Neglects His Family. A scandal attaches here to a well-known professor of. the University of California, who is charged with sending his young wife and two grown - daughters of 'his first wife to Germany, leaving them without sup port and refusing them the money necessary for their return home. Jt is" possible that the professor has an explanation which is not known to the people here who are inter esting themselves in the family. The committee for the relief of Russian Hebrews report that many injured Israelites are arriving at unariottenDurg. xnese peo ple were wounded while fleeing from the Russian police. Numbets of Hebrews were killed while trying to escape over the fron tier.

It Is a Rebellion Against the' Oppressive Acts of a Native Prince. London, June 6. From Jndia comes the news of another uprising, this time in the State of Keonjhur. The rebels have swept everything before them, robbed the Treasurerof the Maharajah; and are pre pared to defend themselves against British interference. The Seventh Bengal Infanry has started to put down the insurrection, which is strictly local in its character, and it is be lieved not to be formidable. The cause of the outbreak appears to have been the con duct of the Maharajah, who has of late been oppressing Kis subjects with excessive taxa tion. He has added to the discontent by receiving a Persian slave into his harem as a wife, thereby giving great offense to the orthodox Hindoos. , Spain "Will Take Back Emigrant. Madrid, June 6.

T0RIES IN THE DUMPS OVER THE FBEE EDUCATION BUX, "WHrCH IS THEIB. NIGHTMARE. Chamberlain Coming in for Some r Good Bound Abuse for, Pointing the Measure on the Party Gladstone to Speak on the Bill Monday. TBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, June C. Repeated efforts have been made this week to obtaiaa statement respecting the real intentions of the Govern ment in regard to tne free education scheme, but without success, and to judge from the frequent meetings of the Ministers they'are unable tojnake up their own minds on the subject. Some of them, including Mr. Smith, the leader of the House of Commons, profess to believe they can pass the educa tional bill and yet terminate the session by the end of July. But this is absurd, and as the Tories talk of deserting -wholesale, if called upon td remain at "Westminster after next month, it may be assumed that the Government will, at themost, introduce the bill and then hang it up until November, the course long ago foreshadowed here. Some members of the Government curse the hour when Joseph Chamberlain induced them by specious argument to take the troublesome business in hand. Every elec tion since.then has demonstrated that, as an electoral bribe, free education is absolutely valueless, and there is good reason to be lieve that it -has actually alienated some Tory votes. The tricksters have themselves been duped; and their rage is rancorous, indeed, against the Jesuitical Radical ren egade who pushed them off the path of political probity. Mr. Chamberlain him self is much peturbedat his misfeasance. He really believed that free education would be the thing to conjure with, especially in the rural constituencies, and his unxpected mis calculation has distinctly lessened his in fluence. Chamberlain attributes the failure in part to the unwise reticence observed by the Gov ernment respecting the details of the.sche'me and to the delay in convincing the country of the intention of carrying it out by sub mitting the bill to Parliament. Both mis takes are to be tardily rectified on 'Monday, when Mr. Goschen will introduce the bill in the House of Commons. Mr. Gladstone, who has been restored to his usual health, left Hawarden to-day for London, and will be in his place Teady to bless or to cdrse the measure as its merits or faults may demand. The unexpected announcemeut by Mr. Ralfour at the meeting of Tory women that he proposed to suspend the operationof the coercion laws over a greater part f Ireland, is everywhere considered another proof of the near approach of a general election. It has been followed by suspicious activity at the electoral headquarters of the Tory and Liberal-Unionist parties, and there would be justification for a confident pre diction as to the date of appeal to the country.

Bribes of Hundreds of Thousanls to the President and Others GIYM J?0E GOVERNMENT CONTBACTS New- York; June 5. As soon as the collapse of Baring Brothers was announced the New York TTorW sent a staff correspond ent, to the Argentine Repbulic to inquire into the investments which precipitated the failure.- The correspondent made a through, investigation, and his report makes a re markable story, showing how Charles H. Sanford, a Yankee drummer for the sale of pills and toilet 'preparationsfirst secured a membership in the American firm of S. B. Hale &-Co., in 'Buenos Ayres,-and after making 51,000,000 by a single financial cotfp, went to London and won the confidence of Lord Jtevelstoke, head of the Bariilg firm, thence returning to Argentine andinvesting j uiuuiu minions oi Daring goiu in uuuikiui enterprises and securities. Sanford's Career as a Drummer. Twenty-five years ago Sanford was on the east coast of South America, and traveled as a drummer for a New York firm dealing in drugs and chemicals. This firm failed, and he turned his attention to the firm of S. B.'Hale & Co., whose members were about to retire. Housed the maternal love of Mrs. Pearson, daughter of Samuel Hale and the wife of John R. Pearson, as a lever to further his interests. 'He argued that the glories of the old house of Hale & Co- might be revived, and that in its operations there was a brilliant future for lira, Pearson's sons. Ambitious hopes, thus instilled in the'lady's mind, found co-operation in the minds ofthe other feminine members ofthe family, and although Mr. Pearson remon strated, the house of Samuel B. Hale & Co. was continued, with Lanman & Kemp's quondam pill drummer, Sanford, as one of the partners. Sanford obtained control and engaged in foolhardy enterprises which would have ended in ruin but for the private fortunes of Hale and Pearson. Then came the stroke of the Yankee's life, thus described: Sanford Finds His Opportunity. "" After the revolution the Provincial Gov ernment found it necessary to consolidate the debt. In order to accomplish this pur pose the outstanding loans had to be taken up, including the 'popular loan held by Hale & Co. The ability which Sanford possessed now became apparent. Sanford counted on an immediate sale of the bonds. and the failure of the public to buy was a j crusmu uiuw iu nis priue. Sanford intrigued with the Government in behalf of the "popular loan," and it is current here that ne "subsidized", certain officials, whose favor was useful to the reali zation of his hopes. Gold and paper were. now at a par. The loan was taken up by the Government in paper, and the safes of aaie a: uo. were cleared oi certincates which cost the firm many anxious moments and sleepless nights. The European loans were repaid in gold, and the profit which ensued,solely by reason of good luck and the parity of gold and paper, turned in a profit of upward of 51,000,000. He "Wins Lord BeTelstoTte's Confidence. Shortly after Sanford went to London, wher.e he beseiged Lord Revelstoke, head of the firm of Baring Bros. Sanford talked to Revelstoke about the extraordinary re sources of the - Argentine. Soon the "head Baring was heard to say-that Mr. Sanford was the cleverest man he had ever met. "When Sanford departed from London, carrying with him the confidence and ad miration of Lord Revelstoke, and with the millions of the Baring bank behind him to spend and invest, a universe of chances was revealed to his triumphant vision, -t The correspondent then relates in detail the .story of the. investment of Baring gold by Sanford. First he was obliged to subsi dize Government officials ''to obtain the great water works contract. The estimated cost of the entire works on which interest was to be allowed was 536,500,000 in cold. The price of the concession to Baring Bros. J ana xrusoaie uo. was yi,uuu,uou gold, payable' to the Minister of Finance in three instalments. . j The Iteign of Boodle in the Argentine. This was the public price, but there is an otheFside to the business. Nothing is ton ceded from the Government in Argentine without a price. As has been described 'in the correspondence, the officials, from the President down to the janitors in the public offices, expect a consideration for their serv ices in addition to their, regular stipend. The procural of .the concession was ob tained, as was previously mentioned, by Charles "H. Sanford, and a greater coup was never accomplished in this delectable cap ital, where bribery, corruption and fraud thrive as they rarely do elsewhere. In order to secure .the.great contract, Sanford was compelled to bid high, and the success that he obtained placed him on a pinnacle. 'Juarez Celman was the Chief Executive of the Argentine Republic. He was ripe for boodle before he 'had warmed the Presi dent's chair, and a( the time the concession was granted Baring Bros., through Sanford, his need of money Was great. Minister of the Interior Also Corrupt. Jt. "Wild, another ofthe gang of sharpers wno lormea tne Dooaie ring oi tne Argen tine, was Minister,of the Interior. To these worthies Sanford addressed, himself, and their favor secured to himthe'priee".'Celmafl received upward.of 5500000 lor his "fee" in granting the concession. The additional sum of f 100,000 was also paid to the Presi dent, if the statementa'of some of the most responsible are accurate." The .Minister of the Interior received 5300,000 fo? nis share of the deal. ' , It proved a difficult tast for this cor-' respondent to trace the entire disposition. of the Baring corruption fund used i in the water works deal. The belief is current here that nearly ?3,000,00p..ws spent in.tho "preliminaries," as theVexpressionmins in Buenos Ayres. SanfordfJs popularlVcred-, ited with securing personal, cpmttflisionH, which put him high aVoyA1,'waferin W course down the financial stream. Millions In Sanford's Hands. Havintr secured this - contract, Barine Bros, forwarded to Sanford two instal ments of 57,000,000 each, and a third fif like amount will fall due this summer: Other sums were advanced at various times, until now the correspondent estimates theyGoyj ernment's liability to Baring Bros., n this single enterprise, at nearly 530,000,000. The losses ot theBarings from their water works investment will not be as great proportionately as in their purchases of bonds and other money securities. There are extensive investments of their money here which no one, outside 'the confidential circles of the housejcmployes and those of their agents, can describe. Notwithstand ing these difficulties the correspondent learns that amounts ranging from,55,000,000 to twice or three times that amount, were obtained by variousjprices for "internal im- SroVcm-euK" 'One of these loans to.

Harvard Students Barred From Two leading Boston Hotels, BECAUSE OP THEIR BAD CONDUCT. Wine. Dinners That Have Culminated ia Disgraceful Orgies. DKIYLVG GUESTS AWAY FROJI HOTELS Csrxcur. telegram to the dispatch.1 Boston, June 6. The recent disgraceful conduct of the members of the Harvard "institnte of 1770" at the Parker House was the culmination of a long series or dis turbances which have marked, wine dinners! , of Harvard students at Young's Hotel and at the Parker House, and now the doors of those hosclries are closed against any large body of Harvard students. The clerks have received orders to refuse applications for dinner's when any large number of students are expected to be present. Small 'parties of 10 or al2 will be accommodated, as in ther A past, but none of the large societies will bo j permitted to dine at either hotel. ? The same proprietors manage both hotels? and they say verylittle about the new turn ' which events have, taken, beyond the state , ment that the students did not know how to behave decently when they had been drink ing. There had been plenty of wine afc nearly all the big dinners ordered by Har vard men. The wine has, as a rule, been ordered by individual members and has not been served with the regular dinner, but there has always been plenty of it and other guests always knew when students were dining. . Driving Gnests From Hotels. . At times the carousals reach such a. heirrht thateuests ofthe hotels have souirht other ti quarters, In order to be rid of the racket. j.ne proprietors nave long seen that soma -h decisive action was necessary for the. rro- rtection of regular guests and the disgrace- lui row last wees: gave them a good pretexs for shutting down on privileges to Harvard students. "The students have only themselves to blame," said one of the proprietors. "They have shamefully abused the privileges we gave them, and have conducted themselves in a disgraceful manner. They have shown, by their actions that they don't know how to behave like, gentlemen, "for we can't allow: them to comu where gentlemen arc Of course, all students are not -to be held re sponsible for the acts of those students who get so drunk that they can't behave them selves. But they have to suffer with theiii, If we could pick" them out we would do so, but we can't, so all must be kept away." The Institute of 1770 at the present day bears a marked contrast with what it was ab. its foundation, and, in fact, up to a comparatively-few years ago. This is the oldest of the Harvard clubs now in existence, and was' founded by Samuel Phillips, John "Warren and other seniors of the class of 1771 as a, speaking club. How The Club Has GrowiL The orators spoke from a stage four feet square and two feet high, "with the- front" corners clipped," and they chose such sub- -jects as "The Odiousness of Envy" and "xne "ernacious Habit ot jjnnKmg Tea. " , In 1801 the club became "The Patriotic As- j sociation" and later "The Social Fraternity' j of 1770." In 1825 it united with two other ' , societies and-became'ThelnsthuteofK'O."' , Prom beinir a senior society, it passed to the '4 juniors and finally to the sophomores, but -t up to 15 qr 20 years ago it retained its liter ary character. At the time a room was pro- . vided for it in No. 2 Holworthy. Since-thea " it has been a social club and within a year it has opened a club house on Mt. Auburn, street. Some idea of the standards now taken for 2 membership may be had" from a glance at' the "first ten" recently elected from the freshman class, who will elect the rest of the members next year. All of them ara prominent in directions other than literary. They were the temporary and permanent' captains of the class "crew and its man ager, a football player, the captain, and managerof the class nine, a substitute on the crew, the captain of a former Exeter Academy football eleven and the secretary of the polo club. A Valuable Literary Kemnant. The only remnant that remains of the'lit. S erary character pf the institute is the l library, a really valuable collection of j standard works,"most of which were given by the early classes. The number of m,em bers is about 100. There is a strange con- 4 nection between the Institute and the famous $ Dfckey Club, inasmuch as the first 50 wera , elected from the Dickey, which has club- C rooms elsewhere. Before the Institute "" House was opened this year it was an empty honor to be elected after -the Diekey had been chosen, for few of the non-Dicker members ever even went inside the Instiv tute rooms. Now all the members use the clubhouse, which furnishes- a clubroom, dining room,- & poolroom, etc., and every evening finds a -j large number of present and past members j reading the periodicals, singing or playing- j there. Other clubs have sprung up to fill the place abandoned by this oldsociety; and A the college is no worse off than before -in opportunities for literary students to meet toeether. but old graduates returning to Cambridge, often learn with dismay-that' the old Institute is no longer a debating society.
