SOME NEW DISCOVERIES. Lafajotte lecently sent out to the w oi lil that It had at least dlscoveied something "now under the sun" a now excuse for getting off chapel ab sence. The Alumni association of Not theastein Pennslvnnln had paial leled Its alma mnter. It had dlscov eied a Lafayette dinner In Seianton Foi both dlseoveiles Lnfnjbtte should bo apnreclatlve Lafajette, he said, had done some thing for Seianton, as was attested by the piomlnence of the Seiantonlans who sat about the board, but Scianton has also done Its share for Lnfaette He alluded to tho fact that Lafayette had given to Scianton a pilnclpal for her high school and a citizen who had bi ought fame upon his city by his woik for popular education. He could go faithei, he bald, but Lafayette has a leputatlon foi being content to do liei woik quietly and let otheis slug her pialses He closed by lefenlng to the attainments of the xnilous piofes sois of the college, pal tlcularly to the lecognltlon nccoided Di March on his leeent till) to Em ope, and to the achievements, of the college on tho ath letic Held, especlnllj on Franklin Held, Philadelphia, which latter leinaik stln(pd up the highest pitch of enthusi asm and showed that the "sporting blood" of the "old bojs" had lost none of Its waimth. Isaac P. Hand, of Wllkes-Barip, one of the trustees, was called upon to le spond to the toast "The Tiustees" In place of John Welles Hollenback, piesident of the boaul, who was un able to be piesent. He paid a glowing ti Unite to the woik of Ml. Hollenback, and chniattoil.ed the boaul of trus tees ns a noble, generous, God-fearing Clnlstlan set of men, who gave their effoi ts and their money generously und unselllshU to the cause of the noble Institution to which they were allied. OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. In intioduclng Hon. John R. Farr to lespond to "Our Public Schools," Toastinaster Phillips bald "he was a gieat splinter In his collego days and Is somewhat of a uinner still," ex plaining for the benefit of the stiangeis that this Is Mr Fair's fomth consecu tive term In the leglslatuie. Mi. Fan was most happy and elo quent In this, his tavoilte theme, upon which he has expended so much time and thought and In which possibly no one In the btate Is bettei veised. Ho contended that Pennsylvania had been backwaid In education, but was rapid ly foiglng to the fiont and gives plom lso of .soon standing In educational matteis whole she doeb In the cate goiy of the states Hist In the Union. Klndeigaitens und manual tialnlng f-ehools, ho piophesied, would yet be In cluded In the public schools and each township would have Its own high .school. The theme, "Collese Education In Practical Life," was ably handled by Hon. James M. Filtz, Nantlcoko's bril liant lavvjei and eloquent speaker. One piattital lesult of a college education, ho said, was to make the mind antagonistic to eveij thing super ficial anil this in Itself was a condition which, coupled with eneigy meant suc cess The mental juggler and mounte bank may suipass In Instances and at times the man who has built his In tellectually upon a Him foundation, but In the long iun and ut the time of biipieme effoit the fli inly-founded man succeeds and the other passeb into well deseived oblivion. The pi ev lous speakers had each In turn been icceived with applause and lntei mpted with chceis and hand clapping, but a continued ovation Is the only phrase to piopeily convey an Idea of the gieetlng given Pnike II Davis, the dlitctor of athletics, to whom Lafayette owes her piesent ath letic standing among the Hist colleges of the countiy After come piefatoiy icmaiks con cerning the status of athletics at La faette at pie'bent, lie went on to ex plain for the benefit of those who might not have sanctioned the leftisal of' a .second game with Ponnsjlvnniu, that the advlsoiy boaul had concluded to lefuso the golden caiman which Penn painded In fiont of them because they had two caravans in view next J ear. In other woids, they did not want to Jeopardize their claim to a place among the lendeis next season, HONORS FOR LAFAYETTE. He then went on to say that lie came up from the college to tender the Not th eastem association, In the name of the undeigt actuates, the championship in the telay laces, the second best recoul In the world In the long distance le las, the championship of Pennsyl vania In Held and Hack events, thiee successive vlctoiies oei Lehigh in base ball and the championship ot America in foot ball. On the gi Idiot n Lalaette, he said, had not lost a single game It tied one with Pilnceton and on that the championship rested. Lafayette's claim to the championship Is based on the compaiallve lecoids of the two teams Pilnceton had 1& points bcoitd against her while Lafayette allowed Its elevent opponents only 10 points. He cieated a heaity laugh by solemnly announcing that he In ought ollklal no tice of the athletic demise and Inter ment of Lehigh The coionei's Juiy Inough In a veidlct that death was due to no pni tlcuhu complaint even body wns satisfied. The i espouse to the toast, "The Fac ulty," was made by Piofessop W. B. Owen, Ph. D In place of Piofesoi A. A. Bloomberg, I'll D, who was absent thiough Illness. He spoke In an ex tempoianeous and chatty fashion, ie nevvlng tho peibonnel of the old classes nnd holding up ns a shining example of ull that was hlith and noble his own dan, '71. In a .seilous vein ho spoke as a member of the faculty to the giad uates and asked them to come back to old Lafayette and tell them that they had been benefited by hei fostering care If such had been the case Encomnge us, he said, by telling us we aie dolng the light thing, that Lafayette has the right Idea. Tho last toast of the evening was by James P. Dickson, who was substi tuted for Hon. Alfted Hand, to le spond to "Relleetions " Mr. Dickson told borne of his relleetions, but was most happy In a succession of witty and appropriate stoiles which founed a fitting finale for the happy anri meny evening. The dinner was concluded rrJih the I singing of "Auld Lang Syne." REPUBLICANS SPLIT DEMOCRATS WON Board of Control Has a Spirited Reorganization.

It is claimed that the Sclnlefer contingent lefused to pio ceed owing to the absence of Mi. Sohaefei.

On nbbumluu' the chair Mi, Jennings lesponded to the honoi eonfeued upon him in a In let and happily woided speech in which lie did not neslect to compliment the letlilng piesident, ask the co-operation of the boaid and pledged himself to tiy and fill his posi tion piopeily, .
