Woman Who Sues Another for Sland
Disappointed to Death.
From Morning Editionl

From Morning Edition
READING, Pa, sept. 27.-A sensational
suicide took place here yesterday. This week
the case Of Mrs. Robert ". Spang against
Lottie Harvey was tried in the courts here.
Miss Harvey was Mrs. Spang's niece. The
action in court was suit for slander. Mrs.
Spang claimed heavy damages for alleged
s'auderous words uttered by Miss Harvey,
affecting her Mrs Spang's) character and
the reputation OF the lslies and gentlemen
who visited her home.
The jury returned verdict generating <
Mrs. Harvey. This preyed on Mrs Spang's
mind. She became greatly excited, and
made remarks that the verdict uf the jury
made her out all Mrs. Harvey alleged she
was. She threatened suicide, and when they
retired last night her husband had partially
pacIhed her. AT 3 o'clock Yesterday morn
ing he was awakened by hearing her call
him by name from a down stairs room. She
was lyiug on a lounge in terrible agony.
She had taken rat poison and expressed a
Willingness to die.
The physicians who were summoned could
do nothing, and Mrs. Spang died, refusin <
the ministralions Of a minister. She stat
that the chagrin and modification she telt at
the jurys verdict led her to c)mni, the deed.
The ahair IS created lots of comment.

Ohio is as famous for its colleges and
universities as it has been in years gone by
and is still, for its great men and its great
achievements. Certain critical people
might qualify this assertion by saying that
we are famous for the number of onr col
lepes, if not for their high character as ed.
uca'ionai institutions, but we should make
a decided protest against such a qusifca-
ton, We have-it is quite true--a large
number of colleges--largely attended,
but not few OF them are very good.
Among these we may name Wittenberg,
whose students, when they leave for east.
ern universities, as they seldom do, take at
once in the new schools, rank or grade
corresponding to that to which they were
entitled here. That is TO say, the pupils of
Wit,enberg are thoroughly taught and
taught according to the best modern the
ories. We may say, too that the institu-
ton is growing, physically as well as in
tellectually, its new building being one OF
the most beautiful and most convenient
structures of its kind.
The Ohio Wesleyan University at Della
ware is also improving, growing and pros
pering.
Oberlin is also taking great strides. 1t
has from twelve hundred to fourteen hun
dred students a year, and It's new Warner
hall, library building, and new recitation
hall, all of white free-stone, are equal IN
cominess to any in the country, but this
is not all. New England lads and lassies
are leaving the shades CT Yale and Har.
ward to come west-or TO the interor-and
grow up, intellectually and morally, with
the country. The Hartford Daily Courant
owned and edited, we believe, by United
States Senator Joseph r Hawey and the
charming essaylst and writer, Charles
Dudley Warner.-concedes that Oberlin's
curriculum compares very favorabIy with
eastern colleges, requiring the same prep
aratlon to enter and the same studies n
the classical department The Courant
proceeds then, to state that, of the four
teen hundred students in attendance last
year, seventeen we're from ssachuse.ts
and thirteen from Connecticut. This is A
most significant utterance, coming from
one of the most scholarly journals, not only
in New England, but in the country. The
young men and women may wisely come
westward for their culture.

And the Mugwumps Notified that the Dem

lFrpm Morning Eulilpn.l
WAsHrSGros, Sspr. 27.--IG Is quite gener-
rlly bb eyed in political circles hat the ad-
ministration is anything bot pleased with the
denomination OF Governor Hill by the New
York state democratic convention, and this
with the antagouism expressed against the
civil ervice law 10 the platform Is taken as a
direct slap At the p.esident and bis policy.
There is Il story current that strong efforts
were made by the president and his
friends to prevent the denomination OF
Hill. Col mel Lumonr, his private sec
retary, went on flying visit TO New
York last week, and it was given out
that he was called hons by the illness OF one
If his children. 1t is understood that while
the colonel WAS away he put in little work
which it was hoped would crcumvent the
movement IN favor of Hill. The president 8
letter to DJrman b Eaton was timed to aid
the effort, but it was OF no avail, and the
president, as the exponent Of civil service re-
form, has been severely snubbed. 1t is thought
that the mug jumps have, by the work OF the
Saratoga convention, been given due notice
that AN alliance with them ia no longer de-
sired by the democratic party. and their act
i've coopers ion with the republicans again is
now expected.
