The day was really given up to in- augurating President McClure, and the alumni dinner with the speeches. The church was neatly trimmed, the only music was by the organ. President H. C Durand delivered tha college keys to the new president, 1). B. Jones. a Chicago lawyer deliv- ered the “charge” to him, a brief, terse and forcible insistence on the duty of individual, personal loyalty to duty. Then came President Mc- Clure's inaugural, a 45-minute ad- dress, a clear. strong, timely and co- gent outline of the duty of educated men in leadership. That discourse was the culmination of all the years of his life which have gone before. It produced a profound and exceed- ingly favorable impression. At every step of progress in the exer- cises the deep, warm and genuine reâ€" spect and afiection for Dr. McClure was apparent; it could not be sup-l presse’. Dr. Halsey gave thelI faculty‘s Welcome, an excellent little, speech for that occasion. Dr. Me. Clure then told of the needs of thel This has been college week in Lake Forest, and a delightful one it has provedâ€"«the weather, the at- tendance and the exercises. The prize speaking, the Ferry Hall com. mencement we did not bear, but yes- terday’s commencement was. all things considered, the best we have attended during the last dozen years. The only student speech was Miss Fale’s welcome. In a few well chosen words Rector Wolcott presented the diplomas which we hope every one ofthem will frame and hang up in his room. He may take it down and put it away a few years later, ‘but it will do him good now to have it hanging on the wall. The young men delighted us by the perfect memorizing of their orations, which they delivered well. Everything was short, some not over four minutes, and the popular ver» diet was “Well Done." George Ezra Millard talked brief- ly but pointedly of “Patriotism.” He punctured some popular notions that it consisted chiefly H1 shouldering a musket and going to the front. He made a good bit In his closing idea that there may be just as much pa- triotism in staying at home to help save somebody as in going to the front to kill somebody. Miss Mildred Marie Mihills dis- coursed in an entertaining way of "Some American Women.” As she did not claim that all mentioned were great women. we will not quarrel with her. Her essay showéd wide reading. Frank James )IcCafl'rey. son of our excellent alderman. pitched in- to that venerabl old Declaration of Independence and took the bold ground that all men are not created equal. and what is more he carried his point pretty well. Hisarguments were good and well put. Ira Milton Hole, a bright young man from West Deerfield. hadan ex cellent oration on “Education and Citizenship," showing the need of it for proper leadership. His point was the necessity of education if a man proposes to lead his fellows. Miss Clara E. C. Kaye‘s read a unique essay on “Experience" and what it teaches folks, and how dill"- erentfhelmowledge obtained in this way from the ideas of the were the- orist. It was fresh. Miss Isabel Louifl Clark. (laughter of our city collector, read a careful- ly prepared paper on "Work among the Blind," which showed a great deal of study and pains. Jobu Newman Finney had an ex- cellent oration on the late Henry Bessemer and his achievements, es- pecially that of making steel from iron Ethel Ruth Aldridge read a very interesting sketch of 'the “London Bridge" its history. the noted men and events connected with it.

One fellow promised the judge to pay his dollar and a half. There is no use in trying to blutf or delay. Every name reportâ€" ed is entered on the police docket and the case has got to be settled. Heretofore We have been patient and waited, after this there will be only three days of grace given for settling. It is not the marshal. or the judge that is enforcing this ordinance, it is the city, hence the folly of all bluff ing and such littletricks. Most per- sons. when they are. caught and re» ported. come right up and settle. some seem to think if they only put' off and wait they will be forgotten; and so they will get rid of it. Not; so. every thing is in black and white1 on the books and each case will be‘ closed when it is settled and not be- foreâ€"a warrant can be issued any time. six months hence if necessary.

We think the great majority of factory hands would be careful, but there are some who would not, at least complaints have come to us of reckless riding by factory hands on St Johns and Oakland avenues. Now these careless. reckless riders spoil the honest claims of all the rest of the men, in the eyes of the public and the city council both. Then there are more or less of these young fellows and school boys about town for whom there is no excuse at all They are well and strong and their riding is chiefly for fun. or to go after the mails etc. and they can walk: they used to do it before they had wheels. , This city has a bicycle ordinance Bforhidding riding on the sidewalks under any circumstances, though by Tzommon consent, the ordinance was -in abeyance during the winter till May 10th. since which time it has been enforced as Well as one man can do it, with all his other duties as city marshal.
