J. H. Hale in Hartford Courant, The yellows has broken out with great virulence in many large peach orchards, and on the whole there is not quite the hopeful feeling among the growers that there was a few years ago. There are a od many young orchards yet to come into bearing, so that it is probable that each year for the next three or four will see an increase of yield from the Connecticut orchards. The lower prices and the con- tinued spread of the yellows will probably discourage much further planting, so it is probable that within two or three years we shall have reached the full high tide of the present peach boom. The next legislature will probably be asked to re-enact the yel- lows law, which this industry and all in- telligent cultivaters demand. Most of the commercial orchardists for their own pro- tection have kept right on pulling and burning diseased trees as soon as dis- covered, but driving about the state with one’s eyes open can be seen in private gardens yellow-infected trees on almost every mile of country traveled. As there is now no way to force their removal, most of them will remain to hinder their owners’ attempt to grow more and better peaches, as well as poison the air of all the neigh- borhood.

Washington a high place in the capitals of the world is the Catholic University of America. We have a just pride in its noble edifices, in its high standard of learning, and its popular course of lectures, and especially are we proud of him who was the first rector of the institution, the dis- tinguished prelate who is the honored guest of this evening. (Applause.) Without dis- tinction of sect or creed, we deplore his de- parture to another post of duty. We have learned to know him as the strong and ferceful advocate of all that tended to the best interests of a common country, to re- spect him as one whose life was an ex- pcnent of the faith which he professes. We haye learned to love him with unfeigned af- “fection and regard, and we hope that all his future life may be crowned by just such blessings as he himself has conferred upon his fellow-men.” This felicitous expression, which so ap- propriatel closed the altogether impressive tribute of Mr. Ross, was cheered to the echo. Expressions From Absentees. The height of enthusiasm was yet to be reached, however, and it came later, after Mr. Dominick I. Murphy had read a list of well-known men who were unable to be preseat, and extracts from letters which contained feeling tributes to Archbishop Keane. } Secretary Sherman, who was unavoidably prevented at the very last moment from being present, wrote that in the brief ac- quaintance he had ‘with Archbishop Keane he had learned to appreciate his ability, his piety and his fidelity to duty, and would be giad, indeed, wo pay him any mark of respect or honor in his power. President Whitman of Columbian Col- lege wrote: “It is a matter of deep regret to me that I shall be unable to be present on account of absence from the city. If it were possible, I should come home on pur- pose to honor Dr. Keare, for whom I feel the greatest admiration, but I shall have to be content with sending good wishes. These, however, are most abundant and most sincere.” Hr. Crosby S. Noyes, in the course of his legter regretting lis inability to be present, said: “I have so warm an appre- ciation of the high character, scholarship, sturdy Americanism, broad’ and liberal spirit and the inestimable value of his services in the cause of morality and good citizenship, that it would have given me great satisfaction to have taken a part in this testimonial to him.” Justice Martin F, Morris of the District Court of Appeals wrote as follows: “The zeal, the earnestness and the eminent good qualities have so endeared Archbishop Keane to the people of Washington as fully to justify all the recognition which we can weil give them.” The following letter from Mr. Charles J. Bonaparte cf Baltimoré was warmly re- ceived: “In my humble judgment, no American prelate of our time has done more to show our fcllow-countrymen, whether within or without the Catholic Church, that she is, indeed, ‘catholic’ in the true and too often forgotten sense of the word— a church wherein there is a place for the ignorant and also for the learned, for the poor and for the rich, for men of all races, and for those attached to every form of government which may minister to human happiness, and that she has nothing to fear from the widening of man’s know! edge of the universe or from the steady and rapid growth of free institutions among all enlightened nations.” Mr. Murplxy, when he had concluded the reading, expressed to Archbishop Keane the de2p sentiments of affection and ad- miration entertained for him ,by the guests who represented all Washington and all the country, and wished him God-speed on his return to Rome and a life full of bless- ing and peace. A Remarkable Demonstration. When Chairman Berret arose and an- nounced that the distinguished guest would address his friends and countrymen there was a demonstration to which the former evidences of enthusiasm shown during the evening were but weak. The entire a semblage rose en masse and with glasses held high above their heads cheered the great and good man they had gathered to honor. Archbishop Keane was visibly af- fected at the demonstration. In his ad- dress this feeling was shown again. Es- pecially true this of the periods when his manly and forcible and significant al- lusions to the things that have been so hurt- ful to his sensibilities in the past were re- ceived with such magnificent outbursts of approval. Seldom, indeed, has the eloquent orator been heard to such advantage. Those who have been familiar with the music of his Voice, the smooth and ‘sonorous sentences so replete with meaning and wisdom, of which he .is so eminently the master ever since he was beginning his famous carer as a simple priest at St. Patrick’s Church never listened to him with greater interest or more loyal and loving approval. The reception given him when he arose was emphasized and accentuated throughout his address, and when he closed with his peroration so full of promise for his church, his country and humanity, there were many moist eyes in the assemblage, met with the blended emotions of effective sympathy, and hearty hope for a future career, in which Archbishop Keane might never know a failure, a misrepresentation or a disappointment. This address was listened to with con- suming interest by all, but none were more animated by his words than the distin- guished representatives of the national government. To them his sentences were pregnant with significance. Archbishop Keane's Address. Archbishop Keane spoke as follows: “Mr. Chairman: This tribute of friend- ship offered me by men whom I honor and friends whom I love touches me pro- foundly. To thcse who have so kindly of- fered it, to his eminence, our beloved car- linal, to the most reverend apostolic dele- gate, to the numerous honored r a tives of our national and District govern- nts, and to the other distinguished pr lates ard gentlemen who honor the occa- by their presence I return thanks the depths of a grateful heart.. The citizens of Washington whom you, sir, so worthily represent, are pleased to sull consid+r me as their fellow-townsman. I thank them for the kind sentiment, and am happy io assure them that no matter where Providence may be pleased, now -or hereafter, te ma%e me a sojourner, I shall ways be proud to remain a eitizen of this fair capital of our great republic. More than thirty-one years ago, in 1866, y life was linked with the city of Wash- ington. She was then far from being the splendid city that we now behold _ her. Since then we have seen her wondrously de- veloped and beautified and clad with all the majesty that befits her rank among the capital cities of the world. But she had then, as now, that one quality which makes her peerless, incomparable—she was, as she is, the capital of the United States, the very heart of the life blood of our country. (Applause.) The Significance of the Capital. “To live in such a city, to enter into the spirit of its fe, to be molded by the in- fluence of its character, is a privilege to be thankful for, is a very education in itself, And most grateful.am i tiat such was the providence of my life. “Pardon me, dear friends, if the current of thought inspired by this occasion, the memories which it evokes, shape my re- flections into personal reminiscences. Like St. Paul, I must say that you are responsi- ble for it, that your exceeding kindness coerces me to it. “At first Washington was to me a very commonplace city, a mere field of ministe- rial work. But little by little its real char- acter—nay, I must say, its providential significance as the capttal of our country— grew into me and tovk possession of me. Our great civil war was just over. Amid the animosities still naturally surviving it the genius of our country was guiding things toward union and peace. And it seemed to me that Washington was placed here on the shore of the Potomac at the very meeting point of the two great sec- tions as a mighty lik between them. It was as if the father of our country, whose name she so appropriately bears and whose ashes rest so close by, stood here with out- stretched arms clasping north and south in an embrice of inseparable union. And so I came to love the Union, to love the whole country, and sectionalism became for me an impossibility. (Great applause.) Patriotism Above Party. “Next I was influenced by the peculiar relation of our city tothe politics of the litical strife. -Campaigns and elections were to have no place in Washington, be- cause they necessary savor of party dif- ferences and party interests, whereas she was to symbol#@® té union of all for the ser an And, therefore, lit- tle by little, ji sectionalism became an smporeenty. fer me, so did partisanship. The force of my» environment naturally made me not ape ™man, but a patriot. (Great applaus “This-ts not jto be any disparage- party men and poli- ment of parties ‘ai tics. Friendly, homest, honorable clesh and strife of opimions, of convictions as to the best lines of'pubiic action, of plans for the promotion of public and private inter- ests; this is nevi ; Ray, even desirable. It is a symptom; of healthful vigor in the nation. It 1s anvevidence of intelligent and active interest in :the public welfare. To feel that interest ‘and exert that activity for the advancement’ of local and national prosperity is the bounden duty of evcry worthy citizen. And if, as reflecting men declare, this can best be done through par- ty organization, then every good citizen should see to it that party organization may mean intelligent, conscientious, hon- orable co-operation for what the members of the organization believe to be for the Qublic good. “But while seeing that all this is un- questionably true, I was none the less grateful that my identification with the naional capital lifted me to what I could not but consider a‘higher level than the |_ party arena, mademe a sincere friend and upholder of what fs true and right in cach of the parties. and, as far as might be, a counsellor of that unselfish patriotism which makes the interaction of the differ- ent parties co-operate for the.promotion of public-mindedness, and for the symmetri- cal, harmonious, justly balanced and safe advance of our country in her march of onward -pregress. -(Applause Jong coztin- ued.) Influence on the Old World. “Next I came to appreciate the place and the influence of our country in the politics of the world and the social advance of man- kind. And then I saw how wisely Wash- ington had been placed heré on our At- lantic coast, as a link between the old world and the new, gladly receiving from the old world the results of its hoary wis- dom and long experience for our country’s safe guidance in her new pathway, and then reciprocally wafting back to the old world whatever in our fresh and eager and untrammeled experience might redound to the welfare of the older peoples. And thus I came to recognize that our country, in being, as Leo XIII called her, ‘the land of hope, the land of the future,” was destined by Providence to be such not only for her own welfare, but for the welfare of all the upward struggling races of mankind. And thus, with the heart not only of a patriot, but of a priest, I came to love America ever more and more, and the conviction grew to be a very. part of me that Ameri- ca’s influence In the world was meant to be far the world’s good, and that it was her providential mission and duty to help the world upward—not, indeed, as the old world demagogues imagine, by methods of revo- lutionfsm and upheaval, but by the gradu- al leavening of the world with just ideas, and by calm, orderly, peaceful, irresistible advance toward fairer and freer and hap- pier human conditions.” The effect of these words was shown in the outburst that greeted them. Harmony of Church and Country. Continuing, Archbishop Keane said “In so very important and so every way desirable a work, it was manifest to ine that the old Church of Christ, the mother of Christian civilization, ought to have a potent and even a principal part. And as I advanced in age'and influence I considered it my bounden duty to impress this convic- tion on all whom it ‘concerned. Tie more fully I came to. appreciate both the spirit of the church and the genius of America, the more profoundly: did I become con- vinced of the essential harmony between them and of thelr heaven-imposed duty to co-operaie with each pther for the welfare of America and of the world. If there has been anything specially characteristic in my career, it is to this conviction that it is due, and I am deepty grateful to Provi- dence that so it has heen. “For the realization@f so vast and noble a purpose, I have, beet not only anxious to do conscigntiousl;: my‘own humble part, but ready to give just re¢ognition to whatever any believer in Christ, or even any believer in God, might be striving to do toward the same great eng.” Capping critics: have as- serted that in this I. minimized’ Catholic truth and dragged tt down to the level of man-made and imperfect Christian systems, or even of heathen unbelief. In saying so they have totally, and, I cannot but fear, wilifully misrepresented me. I have always been glad, and even proud, to utter the full- ness of truth in any assemblage of human beings who care for the truth; for I hold with St. Paul that to believers and unbe- levers, to Gentiles and to Jews, the Church of Christ is still a debtor. But I have never forgotten that the power of the truth con- sists in its presentation in all its symmetry and beauty and fullness; I have never sac- rificed or compromised one tittle or fota of it; and théy who assert that I have as- sert what is false. May God forgive them; I have no controversy with them.’” The Effect Upon the Assemblage. There was nobility and loftiness in the superb eloquence with which the speaker uttered these sentences, and the broad charity of the views he expressed so ear- nestly had tremendous effect upon his lis- teners. There was a spontaneous ebullition of applause, in which sympathy deep and sincere was as evident as admiration for the exquisite beauty of the language with which he embellished his ideas, and as he stood awaiting the cessation of the tribute, he was the ideal representative of the pro- gressive in religion, to whom and his col- leagues and followers the world is destined to owe so much. Especially entertaining were the remarks which followed. Z “Divine Providence, and the wisdom of our holy father, the pope,” he said, “were pleased that my career in Washington should be crowned by the part which T have had in the establishment of the Cath- olic University of America here in our na- pital. Reflection and experience had made it clear both to our holy father and to the bishops of the United State: that an essential need of our age is an efti- cient antidote for the erroneous philoso- phies, the mistaken science, and the merely secular instruction, which are leading men astray from the truth of Christ: They were persuaded that this antidote is to be found in Christian knowledge—that is, in the toiality of knowledge with God and Christ for its very heart and animating principle, and therefore in Christian edu- cation, from its lowest -grades to its high- est and most scientific advances. They were convinced that the crown of the Christian educational system must bé a university, distinct from and superior to all the schools and all the colleges, yet allied to them all, linked with them_all, locked up to and co-operated with by them all, the center and summit of them all. They located it, as to them seemed wisest, in our national capital, and they called upon all the friends of Christian educa- ticn throughout the country, and upon all the Catholic educational institutions of the country, to rally’to ifs support and to put ferth their noble rts for its founda- tion, for its deyelopment, for its attain- ment, to the full height of its glorious mis- sion. It wis 'to bea living embodiment and illustration of the ‘harmony: between rea- son and revelation, tween science and religion, betwee, thé’ genius of America and the Church.gf Ghrist. Such Leo XIII declared it to be3.as quch it was welcomed by all right-minded people, and the results of their generous’ response speak for them- selves. (Great appla ise.) The Success ofithe University. “During the ten, ygars that its chief executive. office -was iatrusted to me, from 1886 to 1896, I dia ty best to carry out the wishes of the: gpeat Leo and of the American episcofatel4I take this oppor- tunity to express my profound gratitude for the generous’ sympathy so abundantly shown me on all_sides during those ten years of hard .endeavor, for the large- hearted welcome so universally extended to an institution which, while thoroughly Catholic, was seen to be also thoroughly American, and for; the fraternal will shown to it and to me by the officials of all the highest educational institutions of the land.

Archbishop Keane’s Career. The personality of Archbishop Keane is as familiar to Washingtonians regardless of creed, color or condition as it is loved and admired, and his achievements are equally a part of the history of the com- munity. A sketch of his career, therefore, will be of general interest at this time, particularly when the eminent patriot, citi- zen, philanthropist, educator and church- man is approaching the zenith of his fame and reaching that effulgence of content and success which ever shines far atove the clouds of envy and malice. Archbishop Keane came to Washington soon after his ordinaticn as a_priest, and was mace assistant pastor at St. Patrick's Church, taking the place of Father Mc- Carthy, who was made pastor of the Im- maculate Conception Church. As the as- sistant to Father Walter, Father Keane at once displayed that earnestness and devo- tion to duty that have developed in such an eminent degree as he has advanced in churchly dignity and honor. He also mani- fested great interest in all moral reforms, particularly the cause of temperance, and it _will be remembered that in February, 1877, he and Bishop Newman of the M. E. Church spoke from the same platform at a great temperance mass mecting at Lincoln Hall. Father Keane also took a deep in- terest in everything that pertained to the welfare or advancement of the national capital and became recognized as a public spirited citizen. To his energy and counsel is due in a large measure the successful development of the Carroll Institute, an institution that is particularly beneficial to the young men of the Catholic Church, and which now boasts of as completely fitted up a building, with every facility for ration- al enjoyment for young men, as there is in the country. A Scholar and Orator. All this time Father Keane was Jevelop- ing intellectually, and was gaining a rep- utation as one of the most profound schol- ars and effective orators in the Catholic Church. His great abilities attracted the attention of the officials of the church, antl he was marked for advancement. This came when the bishopric of Richmond be- came vecant; he was chosen to that im- pertant diocese. His administration of affairs there still further coramended him to his superiors, ard as he had a wider scope for his abil- ities, so did his reputation for scholastic attainments and persuasive oratory ex- tend, and when the gift of $300,000 by Miss Caldwell was made as the nucleus of a fund for the establishment of a Catholic University in this city Bishop Keane was selected as the rector of the proposed in- stitution, and to him was intrusted all the prelimit ary work of raising funds and nning for the buildings, the faculties and the courses of studies. How well he performed this most arduous task is now a matter of history, and the splendid condi- tion of the university and its great suc- cess, even in its infancy, are monuments to Bishop Keane's indefatigable industry, his great executive ability and his indomitable perseverance. He founded it upon broad lines—first for the glory of God and then for the elevation of mankind. His werk in this respect was a labor of love as well’ as Sof duty. He loved the city of Washington, where he had spent the best years of his early manhood, and he believed that the national capital should become the center of learning in the United States. He be- Meved that the Catholic University would ccrtribute to that end, and he bent ail his great energies to making it worthy the ob- ject for which it was inteded and the city in which it was located. The Catholic University. With the opening of the Cathoiic Uni- versity Bishop Keane again became a resi- dent of this city and renewed his interest in local affairs, so that again he was recog- nized as a public-spirited citizen of the District. How highly he was regarded by the community in every respect—as a clergyman, as a scholar, as a man and as a citizen—was abundantly evidenced at the meeting held at the Carroll Institute to Protest against his removal from the rec- tcrship of the university he had been so largely instrumental in establishing. That meeting was a tribute such as is rarely paid to a man, no matter what his prom- inence in a community may be, and it serv- ed to emphasize ir an eminent degree the great regard which was felt for Bishop Keane by all classes of citizens, irrespe- tive of political or religious beliefs. That protest failed to change the papal order for his removal, but it must have impressed the hierarchy of the value of Bishop Keane to the church in this coun- try, for he was promoted to higher ec- clesiastical honors and during his resi- dence in Rome he has enjoyed the confi- dence and respect of the head of his church. He came back to this country as an arch- bishop, but he returns to Rome also as strong an American as when he left. His eral views, bat has rather expanded them. a THE GERMAN EMPEROR. Eulogy Upon His Administration by a % Resident Admirer. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I ask the privilege of an old subscriber and constant reader of your valuable paper of publishing a few remarks regarding the editorial, “Prince Bismarck’s Despond- ency,” which appeared in The Star a few days ago. A great newspaper like The Star, so uniformly fair in its discussion of public men and affairs, and usually so well informed on all topics of the day, is cer- tainly badly served with its news concern- ing Germany and the German emperor, and the only reason for its strictures on the latter is, I believe, that it sees everything concerning him through English and French glasses. There never was a public man so persistently abused and so relent- lessly persecuted by a large part of the public press as the German emperor is, and all through prejudice because the dire predictions of failure, war, political and commercial ruin, made by a large part of the continental press, ably seconded by English newspapers, have failed, and the contrary has been the result. = What are the charges, and what are the facts? That he has tried first one thing and then another? That is no reflection on his ca- pability or his honesty. All his critics ad- mit that he is sincere. He does what other statesmen do—serves his country as he thinks is best, submitting his views to his ministers, and through them to the reich- stag. If that body fails to pass the meas- ures, he is relieved from all responsibility. He has always acquiesced in the judgment of the law making power, and in not one residence abroad has not dwarfed his | ~~ a be more than enough for us. to easy payments.

William II is charged with rejecting good advice. Whose advice, and what advice has he rejected? Do his ministers, the only advisers he can have, tell the news- papers their business? It would be a good thing if they did, as we would then know whether or not the advice was good. * He is said to want his own way. Now, was there ever a man who wanted his own way more than Bismarck? All men in power, Salisbury and cthers, want their wn way, more or less. I believe we have several bosses of our own. There have been fewer changes in the German govern- ment since William's accession than have taken place in any other goverrment, even in our own. To charge that the German government today is not nearly as great as it was a few years ago 13 gressly incor- tect. The Star, as every one else, knows that commercially and politically € meny is greater today than it has ever been. Commercially she ranks second to England, and is gaining on her even in her own colonies, as has been admitted by English statesmen in the house of com- mons. Diplomatically, Germany has never been so powerful as she is now, as evi- denced by the settlement of the war be- tween Greece and Tyrkey. For the first time in a hundred years England has ceased to be the dominant power in Europe. William II has brov this about, and every newspaper in Eng- land knows it, hence they vent their spleen upon him at every opportunity jus show, by way of illustration, the * sense of fairness of the Anglo-Saxon. It is charged that William has made no new friends, and old ones have ail but beea alienated.. Most continental papers, even the better of the journals, admit that the feeling between France and Germany is better today than it_has been since 1 : efforts of William. I am better element in Franc: emperor has strengthened the triple alli- ance, as has again been proved recently, and has established entire cordiality be- tween Germany nd Russia, which had been lost through Bismarck by robbing that country of the fruit of its vietory over Turkey at the congress of Berlin and through other shady transactions. Now, as to the charge of being an up- holder of the belief in the divine right of kings. This causes the most acrimonious criticism, and one would think that he the author of the theory, when, in fact, it has been accepted, if not believed, for ages in all monarchic countries. He has been reared in that belief, as his father and grandfather before him, and the st con- spicuous champion of it has always been Prince Bismarck, but he alone is held re- spo: sible, ignoring the existence of its older exponents. What harm is there in it after all, as long as he bows to the law of the land? These are the facts: Prince Bismarck, like some other great statesmen in Eu- rope, is sore over being shelved. Bismarck’ conduct of late, even his friends admit, has been far from patriotic. He is scolding friends and foes alike. While he is knowledged the greatest living German, the creator of the present empire, and has been honored as such by no man more than by Emperor William, before and since his retirement, his cay is gone by. He be- longs to another gencration, though he fails to see it. A.

When a man feels run down and out of sorts and knows that he is overworking himself, < he should call “Time” him- self. His life is more precious both to him- selfand his family than the few dollars he wilf gain by sticking to his work or his bus- iness. A few days’ rest and a little right treatment, and he will be robust and ready for a fresh plunge into work. When a man is run-down, the best _medi- cine in the world for him is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is the great appetite- maker. It will make a man “hungry as a wolf” and it will attend to it / that the life-giving elements of what he eats are assimilated into the blood and carried to all parts of the body, to build up new and healthy tissue. It makes firm flesh and strong muscles. It builds up the flesh toa healthy standard, but does not make fat people more corpulert. It tones the nerves and invigorates the liver.
