Must be Wise as Well as Learn-, ed Says President Angell. Ann Arbor, Juno 27,- Prersideut Angell last evening Cielivered the bac- calaureate address to the class that will graduate this week, taking for his subject "Ienowledge and Wis- dom." 1 1 The president roughly defined knowledge as accumulated facts and wisdom as the power to use them. Men could be learned, but not *wise. "Knowledge an .1 wisdom may each exist without the other," said he, "James I, of England has been called the most learned fool who ever die - graced a throne. But the world is full of uncrowned learned fools. There is an endless variety �f them. Some aro vale and chattering pedants who 111 -the woild with noisy, clamor like a memoy of crow e over their quid - dittos and odds and ends of useless knowledge. Ithey *wield no influenco. a.nd command no respect, because they are so utterly devoid of what we call common sense. Some of them are like cisterns into which floods of learning have been poured. They hold it all safely stored away. But their minds never become fountains to pour out these stores and enrich the world. %hey are stagnant reser- voirs. I recall men of capacious mem- ory, who with tbe utmost ease and complacency swallowed all the learn- ing which could be fed out to them by a. whole college faculty, but the learning never got out through their nerves or their tongues, or even through their muscles to touch and stir the world. "While, however, you may thus have learned without wisdom, you muy often find wisdom without learn- ing. GO into any legislative or de- liberative assembly. You will fre- quently observe that some Main, un. lettered man, who seldom speaks and thou perhaps with hesitancy, does more to shape the netlel or the bodY, and certainly does far better work than many a man .01 ready tongue and cultured mind, because he is re- cognized as a ma.n of wisdom. It was once said of such a one, "Every word he utters weighs a ton, be- cause there is a man behind it." "For Lord Bacon's aphorism', `knowledge is power,' I would ifb. stitnte tbe saying 'wisdom is pow - en' " • , FARMERS AND FRUIT MEN Present Tbvlr G r lova noes to the, Rai - w.,y commission. Toronto report -Fanners and fruit - growers of Ontario began yesterday the presentation of their grievances to the Railway Commission. Mr. W. D. Greg- ory introduced depatations representiag the various bodies, and presented the general principles on which the tariff of rates should be based. Mr. W. 1). Gregory pointed out that the total earninge of Canadian railways increased from $20,000,000 in 1382 to 583,000,000 in 1002, while the working expenses increased from $22,000,000 to $57,000,000 in the same time. There was tberefore a net increase of about $20,- 000.000. He produced these figures as an arga- ment for reduction in rates, and an ap- proximation to rates in the United States. But, instead of Ontario getting lower rates, the through traffic was a positive disadvantage. Every year it, was impossible to get cars here because they were used to keep United States elevators supplied with grain. The farm- ers asked that there should riot be more than a reasonable return on the -value of the railway property operated. Mr. W. II. Bunting, President of the Ontario Fruit Orowers' Aesocialion, divided their complaint into three part, the equipment for carrying, the service for delivery, and the rates. He poinOd out that, owing to the great increase of production of recent years, there bad beeri a great fall in the prices. Figures showed that it wee impossible to make a living profit by 'shipping by expre. The fruit -growers must, there- fore, depend on the freight mervice for shipping. In answer to -the statement of the railways that there was not enough trade to warrant epodel ears, be said that. 2,000 carloads were grown in the Niagara, Peninsula laet year. An eeprees nail told him that 7.000 tons were shipped by exprese from there last soar. They wanted well -ventilated care for their tender fruits, The C. P. R. had a few such ears. hut the G. T.

The list of known dead, which had reached 846 up to 2 o'clock, has steadily ia- creased since that hour. Before day- light twelve more bodies bad been tak- en from the river and nearly every sue- ceeding hour added to the total, terially, for it frequently absorbed one- third to one-half of the gross returns. e Their second request was that apples and pears in boxes and barrels should be put in the same class. Their third request was that the mini- mum for fresh fruit should not be rais- ed over 20,000 pounds. Their fourth request was a reduction in the cost of king, more particularly to Winnipeg. Mr. E. D. Sint% of Winona'a shipper of 25 years, waeted, first, quicker transportation; second, better equip- ment; third, ability to get ears when •wanted. During the last two years at Winona cars have been fairly well sup. plied owing to competition there. But before that he frequently bad to wait from one to three -weeks. His greatest complaint was in the moving of less than car load lots, about which there seemed no system slant - ever. He gave a long list of the times of moving a few boxes from Win- ona to various points, for example, to Woodstock , 00 miles 6 days; to Jarvis, 60 miles, 4days; Dirt Perry, 100 miles, 13 days; Camungton, 100 miles, 5 days; Beaverton, 123 miles, 10 days. Mr. Bosworth, Fourth 'Vice -President of the C. P. R., said that this happened because one agent could not count when there might be a dozen shippers. Mr. H. W. Dawson presented, on be- half of the association, the "claims" grievance. Ile said. that they could got no information about claims for over- charges, but had them thrown back. He presided over 1,000 claims, about which they could got no satisfaction. - A. FIGHTING PARSON. Engages in Fist Waifs and Preaches on on Piety.
