MANY EDUCATED FOOLS.
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

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-

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. R. wee
lamentably defieient. At many points
it was impossible to get any ear.

From these lists a gnat report, embody-
ing all the names, will be prepared. 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.
