The speech making began at 10 o’-
clock and was started with a Yale
cheer, given by a graphophone. Mr.
Everett Warren, toastmaster, then
made some introductory remarks as
follows:
“Brethren of the Alumni, Sons of
Dear Old Mother Yale, Graduates, Un-
der-Graduates and Over-Graduates
(that last means the fellows. who ling-
ered benath the Elms more than the
statute period):—I salute you, and in
behalf of the committee in charge I
extend to you a most cordial greeting
at this birth-night dinner of the Yale
Alumni Association of Scranton, Pa.
And to our guests, the representatives
of rival colleges, welcome, thrice wel-
come. You have never been in such
good company before. If you find the
air clearer, purer and more bracing
than you are wont to enjoy, I want to
say we don’t notice anything unusual.
I have a good deal of sympathy for the
eraduates of other colleges hereabouts.
it would be difficult to gather togeth-
er a corporal’s guard of any one insti-
tution outside of ours in the city of
Scranton. If any one dares to doubt
that statement, shoot him on the spot.
And the sons of Old Eli have grown
so numerous in Northeastern
sylvania we have been obliged to di-
vide. Our friends of the mother coun-
ty continue as the Yale Alumni Asso- ©
ciation of the Wyoming valley, and we
inaugurate to-night that of the city of
Scranton, Pa.
THE GREATEST MAN OF THE DAY.
“This is our night—we have hired
this hall and paid for the dinner and
we are going to enjoy ourselves ad
libationam debasionum—add anything —
else you want to order. And we pro-
pose to talk about ourselves. This is
the one occasion when it is permissible.
In this originally New England town,
now so cosmopolitan, whose past is a
record of wonderful thrift and mar-
velous achievement—out of a howling
wilderness an Electric City blossoming
forth in less than half a century—the
genius of Yale men is everywhere
manifest, and in both business and
politics Yale is everywhere triumphant.
With the indomitable spirit born of
Yale and the weapons forged in her
furnaces, her sons have advanced to
first place in all the professions and in
all the avenues of trade. Perhaps the
greatest man in this day and genera-
tion is he who is not allured from his
profession by the flattering hopes. and
aspirations of politics and who steadily
pursues the even tenor of his way,
a sterling citizen, a shining light in
his profession, an honest man.
‘In the first President of this Society,
the Hon. William H. Jessup, of Scran-
ton and Montrose, you have just such
a man, omnium assensu at the summit
of our bar. It is a source of very great
regret to us all that he is kept away .
to-night by the sudden death of a
member of his family, and I am sure
he has our united sympathy in his sad
affliction. Our roli of members includes
the Hon. Alfred Hand, an ex-Justice of
the Supreme Court of the Common-
wealth; the learned President of the
Common Pleas of Lackawanna County,
the Hon. R. W. Archbald—fit to adorn
any bench in the land; his learned son,
whose name we have seen within a
week as a ‘Junior Ex man of ’98’; Dr.
Leet, the surgeon of two wars and one
hospital—as able a physician as Penn-
sylvania contains to-day; the Hon. Jo-
seph A. Scranton, Lackawanna’s first
representative in Congress—a man who
has done great service for this city and
its people in matters of legislation and
public affairs; Colonel Boies, whose
philanthropic efforts for his fellow-man
have made his name a household word
throughout the State; Major Belin, in
Penn-~
the very front rank of business men
one of the ‘makers of Scranton’—anq
many other men of affairs. Phi Beta
Kappa keys are as thick here as the
leaves of Vallambrosia. There are rep-
oo of every society Yale ever
ad.
“Horace Greeley, returning from qa
New York State convention at which
he failed to secure a nomination, said:
‘What is it all worth, anyway? How
many men can name the last ten Govy-'
ernors of New York?’ How many of
us can name the high-stand men of our
classes or remember our valedictorians
now in the Congregational ministry? —
But who can ever forget Bill Scran-
ton, the bow oar of Wilbur Bacon’s
famous crew of ’65; or Jim Archbald,
the President of the Yale Baseball As-
sociation in ’87, who made it possible
for Stagg and Dann to win immortal]
fame; or Laurie Bliss, whose giant
football strides have enshrined him in
the hearts of Yalensians the world over.
I tell you, we are a star aggregation.
“We have several speakers to-night,
and but one sentiment. That senti-
ment warms our hearts and stirs our
blood beyond all other rallying cries,
and it brings back the precious mem-
ories, the glorious times of student
days, the venerable age, the ever vig-
orous youth, the noble fame of our
Alma Mater. We are once more at
home with teh elms, the Fence, the
Campus and the girls. .
“The crowning felicity of the hour is
the presence here of the honored Pres-
ident of the University. To him we bow
as we used to do in college days. We
pledge him our respect, our venera--
tion and our love. And now. with all
the honors, I prorose the health of
President Dwight.’’’
PRESIDENT DWIGHT’S GREETING.
President Dwight’s greeting was, to
say the least, enthusiastic. He respond-
to the toast of ‘‘Yale University,’ and
referred to the eminent men of the past
who had carried on the work of the
University, and gave a prediction that
Yale would commence to work in the —
new century under the most auspicious
circumstances.
The next toast on the program was’
“Old Yale,’’ by Judge Jessup; but in his
absence Hon. Alfred Hand, ’57, was
called upon. He responded in a speech
full of reminiscences. Hon. Stanley
Woodward, ’55, who was to respond to ~
the toast of ‘“Yale Medieval,” was also |
unable to be present, and Dr PF.
Gunster, ’71S., spoke in his place.
The toast of “Our Friends, the En-
emy,’’ was assigned to Rev. James Mc-
Leod, D. D., of Princeton, but he could
not attend and a letter from him was
read. R..W.. Archbald, jr... 3a aos
then called upon to speak on this toast
and told some entertaining stories.
In closing, H. W. Boies, 88, made a
few remarks, and the banquet ended
with a cheer for Yale.
Previous to the dinner, ‘a business
meeting was held, and the following
officers were elected for the coming
year: President, Col. H. M. Boies, *59;

WHAT IS __
ODE
INHALER ?
X-ODE is a product of electricity. It forms on
solution. This asbestos is put up in a glass vial.
When the cork of the vial is removed and the air
comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from
the inhaler a soothing oo substance, which
will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled
through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every
_ nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the
_ germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues
_a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent
_ cure. Itis unlike snuff, drugsor medicine. X-Ode
| penetrates parts that it would be impossible for
_ drugs or medicines to do.
Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head-
ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etc., yield to its influ-
_ ence with marvelous rapidity.
This inhaler lasts from one to three years.
Trial size inhaler, 15 cents; large size inhaler,
$1.00, All druggists or by mail.
