It has been a long. hard. and at times very hard. pull of ten weary, wearing years. But the day has dawned, the sun of prosperity is above the horizon. and, the future is clear and established as1 surely as anything earthly can beand . We take this opportunity of congret- ‘ 'ulating Col. Davidson. and his iamU ily on their achievement. an honor. able and enviable one. and are glad to be able to set down. or set up our little memorial Ebenezer at the end of this tenth year of its struggling, eventful and successful history.

Davidson and bud it not been for file Scotch blood in his veins he would have fallen by the way This being the tenth year there will V Le a "Deceunial Reunion" of the alumni. and other friends of the acad- i] emy, during commencement week, . ‘ about mierune. In numbers. of? course. this reunion will not compare l with most of the college reunions. for il its alumni are of necessity limited. ll But in loyalty to their almamater, in value of services rendered the coun- try and in the type of manhood def: veloped, the alumni of this Academy 2 will not fail alongside those of any ;‘ school in the land. The Academy E‘ has one feature. possessed by few"t sshools of its or any other grade‘ » - it won‘t retain among its pupils any . young man whose promise is either small (r bad. If a boy is seen to be’ vicious. steeped or grounded in vice. . or if he is hopelessly incompetent he . is retired. The school will not grnd- I uate abad or incompetent young man. We have noted with pleasure thel steady elevation of toneâ€"â€"the average moral tone. we mean and the intel- : lectual standards of the schools. It does not pretend to supplant. or beI “just as good" as the college. but re- cognizing the. fact that less than five per cent of the public school pupils! ever reach College. it seeks to do thor- ‘ ough. practical work for the greater number of its pupils who will not go to college. while those who can and do supplement their Academy. with a collegiate course. will find themselves equipped with amost admirable “tit." Whether the average age of the ca- dets is gradually increasing or not we cannot say. but think itris: while as to the average scholrrship and manliness. we speak what we do know when we say. and say it unhesda' tingly. it is. l l l VOL BL THE HILITARY ACADEMY The Highland Park News.

During the summer the Drill Hall is to be extended some 20 feet south. to meet the demand for enlarged re- citation rooms and better laboratory facilities. We may add in closing as a proof of the growth of the Acad- emy that in 1893 it had LN cadets. in 1898 it has ill. a little over 100 per cent gain and the promise is in the same line.

Only the immed- iate families bf the contracting part- ies were premut. it being strictly home wedding. The rooms were beautifully trim~ med with wild Alabama smilax. which makes a most excellent decor- ation for such purposes. while the flowers were sweet peas and pansies. “V; are happy to add that all these decorations were furnished by otir local florist. Fritz Bahr, and they ex; hibited rare taste and skill. The presents were numerous and elegant and better still, valuable for service. Thus. the groom's parents sent out a couple chamber suits, brass bed, dresser, chiffonier etc, everything complete and ready for yuse. The ollice force of clerks in his store sent Mr. Putnam a very 1 large and elegant jardemere contain- ing a choice palm. The value of such a present is not in the dollars it cost. but rather in that it shows what “his help thinkofJohn." Then there was table silver. toilet-sets, fancy work, pictures etc, in great va- riety and quantity from localfrieuds and especially from ~Mra “"rnche‘s- ter’s old friends. who wished to hon- or her daughter.

HipWell. we have_ been permitted to read the_ abstract . of a sermon. recently deliver ; ed in the Pembroke chapel in Liver. pool. by its pastor Rev. C. F. Akedd on the Cuban question. No abler. more patriotic discourse has been de- 5 livered in an American pulpit than I this celebrated preacher gare his . Engliahaudience. Speaking of Span :_ ish rule in Cuba. he said “Torturel and massacre by wholesale has been‘ the rule for years. The aettled pol- 5 icy of etanation which had been “adopted by Spain had produced un describable horrors and had piled the land with death. Moderate estimates figure of a million deaths by famine. by disease. by torture and \iolence. " Then turning to the position of thin-l countn he said “This condition ofi things the people of the I nited States Were determined to end. They had. borne long, witha patience noble and ‘. l l l apparently exhauutless." But 1,... thanked God that they Were deter I mined to bear no longer. These ‘ mined to bear no longer.
