tlu long column reached the house, ap-
Ji'ed at the door. There, with bared
h , .id. he smilingly bowed io the hundreds
of undergraduates in response to their
fu.irty college greetings.
Tile column marched in classes and as
o.i b class reached the house its members
cuouted the college cry of "Penn-syl-va
ni.i,” again “Penn-syl-va-nia,” ending
.:h "the President,” "the President,”
"the President.”
The President’s face lighted and betok
extreme pleasure. Reaching the
A idemy the students marched inside and

President McKinley addressed an intel
ligent and appreciative audience at the
academy. By his side on the stage was
assembled the faculty of the University of
Pennsylvania, and many professors and
ex. 'itlive officials of other prominent edu
c.ironal institutions.
i !u seating capacity of the academy is
2.SUI. All the seats and proscenium boxes
were occppied, and Met 400 to 500 persons
siood in the rear of the several galleries.
The main portion of the auditorium was
r served for the students of, the college.
The appearance of the President on the
fungo was the signal for thunderous ap
piaii'e. anW as it died away, the students
broke out with their thrice repeated col
lege cry of,
"Pennsylvania,” aid fne Municipal Band
followed witli "Hail to the Chief,” and
i. "Star Spangled Banner.”
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Bishop Whitaker of the Protestant
Episcopal Church.
< iiarles C. Harrison, provost of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, then delivered an
address, in closing which he introduced
President* McKinley. Mr. Harrison said:
-The traditions which belong to the great
reals o: learning are a priceless heritage.
The memory of them becomes not only
me forerunner of hope, but the motive
and mainspring of action. Kach univer
sity in our beloved country has its peculiar
associations.
"It is the peculiar pride of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania that so much of her
history is associated with the years during
which Washington was the servant of his
country. Of whatsoever others may boast,
we justly fee! that we have pre-eminence
in this relation, and now, in these later
>cars, in the vigor or renewed youih, we
have consecrated the 22d of February as
our ‘University day’ with a propriety that
cannot be challenged.
“Seven years of Washington’s Presiden-’
tial life was spent in Philadelphia, and
these at a time when the area of the
city was circumscribed within a short
tajius; when its institutions were few in
number and when a comparatively small
group of its citizens were the active spit
its in affairs. Washington's residence
was within a few blocks of the univer
sity. He was, in constant intercourse
With its White', and Franklin, and Pro
vosts Smith and Ewing. His associates in
tin- Continental Congress, in military
'Operations and Federal admiration were
i’s Rittenhouse, its Morgan, its Bingham,
i- Francis Hopkinson, its McKean, its
Shippen and its Robert Morris. From the
executive mansion, Bushrod, Washington
went in daiiy attendance on its iaw course,
under James' Wilson, the first justice of
the Supreme Court.
"During Washington’s presidency two
of his nephews, George Steptoe and Law
rence Augustine Washington, took here
tile degrees of Bachelors of Arts. In 187 ti
•he University of Pennsylvania conferred
upon Washington its highest honorary de-
Sree. The theme of to-day’s ceremonies
rs the Memories of ‘Washington.’
"No place is more fitted for it or more
hallowed by its associations than Philadel
phia and the University of Pennsylvania.
Upon no less exalted theme could the
< Diversity of Pennsylvania have asked
the President of the United States to de
liver the address, and I doubt whether
fhere be any other occasion upon which
his acceptance would have been given,
lor many years the university has been
steadfast in the celebration of this high
dxy. But never since'the day when the
President of the United States, Gen.
M ushington, opened the law school of the
un.versity, having been honored by the
presence and voice of a President to speak
the name of the university for the first
bi that illustrious line. The President will
address those to-day who gratefully feel
his gracious act, in tha* amid the cares
and duties of his exalted office, he has
thought it worthy of his effort and time
to be our orator on this occasion.
"I have the distinguished honor of pre
senting the trustees, the faculties and the
•~t,dent* of the University of Pennsylvania
nrid others of this great audience to the
President of Slates.”
I’he President as he stepped forth was
greeted with spontaneous hand-clapping
Rom all over the house and the students
again gave their college cry. It was some
moments before quiet was restored.
The President’s address, which was de
livered in liis customary, easy, graceful
mariner und with clear, distinct voice,
• oulii be plainly heard by every person in
•he audience. His remarks were inter
runted at frequent intervals with applause.
Ppon the conclusion of the President s
address the university .hymn. "Hail, Penn
sylvania," was sung by all present with
•he hand accompaniment, and the exer
• IS(, s were then closed with the benedic
tion by Bishop Whitaker.
The audience then filed out of the build
ing anil gave vent to cheers for the Pres
id' nt as he entered a carriage nnd was
driven to the library building of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, escorted by the
tre uoied city troops
At tile library a reception was held In
the President's honor arid a lunch was
served.
The President left for Washington over
title Pennsylvania Railroad on the 3:IS
train. Extracts from his address fol
low:
We celebrate here as in every part of
our country the birthday of a great pa
triot, who assured the beginning of a
great nation. This day belongs to patriot
ism and, t|ie people. But tn a certain
tense the UOlverslty of Pennsylvania has
special, reasons for honoring the 22.1 of
February. For over half a century, with
ever-increasing popularity and public rec
ognition, you have observed the occasion,
either as a holiday or with patriotic ex
ercises, participated in by faculty and
students.
'Washington, too, belonged to the broth
erhood of the alumni of this institution,
having accepted the degree of doctor of
laws conferred upon him in 17S3—an honor
doubtless the more appreciated when he
recal.ed the events which gave him close
and peculiar attachment to the city of
Philadelphia.
No wonder thot your great university
has made the 22d of February its most
impressiv e ceremonial ami devoted its an
nual exercises io special' tributes to the
memory of the first President of the Uni
ted States and the patriotic themes which
cluster thickly about his life and work.
In jts entirety, Washington's public life
is as familiar to the American student as
the history of the United States. Asa
soldier he was peerless in the times in
which he lived, and as a statesman his
rank is fixed with the most illustrious in
any country or in any age.
But with all our pride in Washington we
not infrequently fail to give him credit for
his marvelous genius as a constructive
statesman. It was committed to Wash
ington to launch our ship of state. He
had neither precedent or predecessor to
help him. He welded the scattered, and at
times, antagonistic colonies into a p inde
structible union and inculcated the les
sons of mutual forbearance and fraternity
which have cemented tiie states into still
closer bonds of interest and sympathy.
From tile hour when Washington de
clared in his Virginia home that he would
raise a thousand men and equip them at
his own expense to march to the defense
of Boston, he became the masterful spirit
of the continental army and the mightiest
single factor in the continent’s struggle
for liberty and independence.
A slaveholder himself, he yet hated slav
ery and provided in his will for the eman
cipation of his slaves. Not a college
graduate, he was always enthusiastically
the friend of libera) education. He used
on every suhable occasion lo impress upon
Congress and the country the importance
of a high standard of general education
and characterized the diffusing of knowl
edge as the most essential element of
strength in the system of free govern
ment. #That learning should go with lib
erty, and that liber! y is never endangered
so long as it is in the keeping of intelligent
citizens, was the ideal civic code which
his frequent utterances never failed to
enforce.
And how reverent always was this great
man, how prompt and generous his recog
nition of the guiding hand of divine prov
idence., in establishing and controlling the
destinies of the colonies and the republic.
At the very hight of his success and
reward as he emerged from the revolu
tion, receiving by unanimous acclaim the
plaudits of the people and commanding
the respect and admira'ion of the civilized
world, he did not forget that his first of
ficial act as President should be fervent
supplication to the Almighty Being who
rules the Universe.
Not alone upon days of thanksgiving or
in limes of trial should we, as a people,
remember and follow the example thus
set by the fathers, but never in our future
as a nation should we forget the grout
moral and religious principles which they
enunciated and defended as their most
precious heritage.
In an age of great activity of industrial
and commercial strife and of perplexing
problems, we should never abandon the
simple faith in Almighty God,as recognized
in the name of the American people by
Washington and the first congresses.
But if a timely lesson is to be drawn
from the opinions of Washington on his
assuming the office of President, so also
is much practical benefit to be derived
from the present application of portions
of his farewell address, a document in
which Washington laid down principles
which appeared to him “all important to
the permanence of your felicity as a peo
ple.”
In that address Washington contends in
part (1) for the promotion of institutions
of learning: (2) for cherishing the public
credit; (3) for the observance of good faith
and justice toward all nations.
“Cherish the public credit.” How much
both of reflection and instruction is com
bined in this siiyple admonition of the
father of his country. The United States
emerged from the litter and prolonged
struggle of the revolutionary war ex
hausted financially and with a hundred ex
isting perplexities anil difficulties which
remained to he solved before the financial
credit of the new' nation could be estab
lished at home and demonstrated abroad.
But Washington knew how to gather
around him and place in positions of the
greatest trust the nbie financiers and
economists, whose names the country still
venerate and whose gnat work it still
enjoys. Hamilton and Morris and Galla
tin and others were successful in estab
lishing the treasury and inaugurating the
financial operations of this government
upon princles which recognized that the
most enduring basis of national credit was
national honor and that whatever other
assets we might have or acquire that was
indispensible, first, last and all the time,
if we would cherish the public credit. We
have been fully rewarded ail along our
history by adhering to the principles of
Washington in keeping the public faith.
[ Before half a century had passed we had
paid off our national debt and had a bal
ance in the treasury. Another debt, the

Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it was
never intended for a medicine, and peop'c
who qse it as such will some day regret 11.
We refer to the commftn use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with dan
ger; moreover, the soda only gives temi>o
rary relief and in the end the stomach
trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to
the w ills of the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where it accumulated
in the intestines, causing death by inflam
mation or peritonitis.
Dr Hnrlandson recommends as the sar
est and surest cure for sour stomach (acid
dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold
>v druggists under the name of Smart s
Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large
20 grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste
and contain the natural acids, peptones
and digestive elements essential to good di

digest the food perfectly tmd promptly be

Dr. wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart’s Dyspepsa Tablets In all
cases of stomach derangements finds
th.m I certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create a healthy appetite, in

the heart and liver. They are not a ca

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1893.
THE MAYOR OF LYNN,
Paine's Celery Compound Never Fails
Mayor Ramsdell Is again Mayor of Lynn.
Two years ago he was elected by the
combined People’s party, Democratic nnd
Citizens’ Reform party. He was again
nominated by acclamation by the Demo
crats to succeed himself as mayor of the
busy modern city, and was again elected
by a rousing majority last month.
MayCff Ramsdell's present high position
is the legitimate reward of his ability and
his fearlessness in defending his opinions.
He has never hesitated to declare his con
victions in public, nor has he been slow
to espouse the cause of the shoemakers
and other wage earners. In 1894 he was
candidate of the People’s party for Con
gress. A hard worker, a conscientious of
ficial, Mayor Ramsdell has more than once
been pushed to the limit of his strength.
At such times of extreme nervous tension
and overwork he has saved himsejf from
breaking down by taking Paine's celery
compond.
Mayor Ramsdell’s honest opinion of this
great remedy cannot be mistaken by any
one who reads his letter that follows:
greatest in our history, was Incurred in
the civil war for the preservation of the
union. But this did not exceed the re
sources or discourage the intentions of
the American people. There were those
who suggested repudiation, but the people
repudiated them and went on unchecked,
discharging the obligations of the gov
ernment in the coin of honor.
From the day our flag was unfurled to
the present hour, no stain of a just obli
gation violated has yet tarnished the
American name. This must be as true in
the future as it has in the past. There
will be prophets of evil and false teach
ings. Some parts of the column may
waver and wander away from the stand
ard, but there will ever rally around it a
mighty majority to preserve it stainless
and in honor.
At no point in his administration does
Washington appear in grander proportion*
than when he enunciates his ideas in re
gard to lhe foreign policy of the govern
ment: “Observe good faith and Justice
tow'ard ail nations; cultivate peace and
harmony with all; religion and morality
enjoin this conduct. Can it be that good
policy does not equally enjoin it? It will
be worthy of a free enlightened and at
no distant period, a great nation to give to
mankind the magnanimous and too novel
example of a people always guided by an
exalted justice and benevolence."
To-day, nearly a century from Washing
ton’s death, we turn reverentially to study
the leading principles of that cont)>rehen
sive chart for the guidance of the people.
It w'as his unflinching, immovable devo
tion to these perceptions of duty which
more than anything else made him what
he was, and contributed so directly to
make us what we are. Following the pre
cepts of Washington we cannot err. The
wise lessons in government which he left
us it will be profitable to heed. He seems
to have grasped all iiossibie conditions and
pointed the way safely to meet them. He
has established danger signals all along
the pathway of the nation’s march.
He has warned us against false lights.
He has taught us the true philosophy, of
ft "perfect union” and show us the graphic
dangers of wild and unreasonable party
spirit. He has emphasized the necessity
at all times for the exercise of sober and
and spassionate Judgment.
Such a judgment, my fellow-citizens, is
the best safeguard in cairn and tranquil
events, and rises superior and triumphant
above the storms of woe and peril.
What the future will be depends upon
ourselves, and that future will bring still
greater blessings to a free people I can
not doubt. With education and morality
in their homes loyalty to the underlying
principles of free government In their
hearts and iaw and Justice fostered and
exemplified by those intrusted with public
administration, we will continue to enjoy
the respect of mankind and the gracious
favor of Almighty God. The priceless op
portunity is ours to demonstrate anew the
enduring triumph of American civilization,
and to help in the progress and prosperity
of the land we love.

Gentlemen—A previous experience with
Paine’s celery compound as a restorer of
exhausted energy, induced me recently to
take it again, the many duties of the may
or’s office Having taited my slight physical
resources greatly. I made no mistake. In
one week 1 found my appetite improved,
the feeling of weariness disappearing, and
my nerves becoming steadier. Paine’s
celery compound has thus been a friend
in time of need, Snd I like to say a word
for a friend. Truly yours,
WALTER L. RAMSDELL.
Nov. 5, 1897.
*ln every city, in business, houses, banks,
newspaper offices—wherever the friction of
worry is wearing out the nerves and re
ducing the nutrition of the body, Paine's
celery compound is proving its inestima
ble value. It invariably insures sound
sleep, and thus gives the overstrung nerves
their natural rest; it corrects a constipa
ted habit that so commonly goes with se
dentary occupations, and frees the blood
of poisonous humors, that at some time or
other develop into grave disease.

Artillerymen.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Senator Hawley,
in reporting the Hill for the inerense of the
artillery of the army by two regiments,
said, in part: “The speedy passage of this
Mil, or its equivalent appears to be an ab
solute necessity. The governmeni, after
long and careful consideration by those
whose offices and studies qualify them to
give the most valuable advice, has en
tered upon the execution of .1 systematic
and elaborate pi,an of const defense from
Maine to Puget sound. The great expen
diture will we wasted treasure unless a
sufficient number of artillerymen, care
fully selected and thoroughly drilled, be
assigned to the care and use of these cost
ly instruments of defense.
“A careful estimate of the annual addi
tional expenditure required to maintain
tlie two regiments is 5830.000.
"It is scarcely worth while to enlarge
upon the wisdom of establishing the de
fenses of our very extended coast. Suc
cessive congresses have vigorously and
liberally asserted it.'"'
To this is added a number of reports,
including a. letter from. tlen. Miles, writ
ten yesterday. In which he says:
“My Hear Senator—Referring to our con
versation this morning, I have the homor
to state that batteries have been placed in

Washington, Feb. 22.—The celebration of

comatisisoners, a large party of senators
and representative*, and officers from all
the regular army posts in and about the
city.
Various local militia companies also pa
raded for their own edification.
Of the Indoor meetings the most inter
esting was that of the Sons of the Ameri
ran Revolution, where, after a spirited
contest, tiyo resolutions containing refer
ences, to Cuba and the Maine disaster were
both voted down.

There is a truck driver on Greenwich
street, In this city, who stands ready to
demolish any man who attempts to per
suade him that horseshoes are lucky. He
started up street the other day with a •
ioad of discarded horseshoes, which were
to he delivered to a Junk shop In the
neighborhood. He wns hardly underway
when the tailboard of his wagon fell out,
and abopt a bushel of the shoes were
.scattered on the pavement, and. In pick
ing these up,-one of them fell upon hla
foot and Injured him so that he limped
for m week. While he was reloading
rapidly driven ear came down the street
nnd struck the rim of his wheel,, .demol
ishing two spokes, and he had hardly un
loaded and started for home before hla
horse took fright and ran away, demolish,
lug his wagon and nearly killing him in
the bargain, by throwing him against a
pillar of the elevated road. On reaching
home he found three of his children sick
with the measles.
