not only a Prohibitionist, but an
Equal Suffragist as we'll" ''Oh, is
that fact7" said the senior, Il can
take your hand on that" The fresh
man responded with a pleased ex-
preston, and then asked what was
the real result of the Prohibition law
in his state.
The Iowa student told him that the
Prohibition law had been enforced in
bis state comparatively well, except
in the river towns. Referring to his
own city, he spoke of how the saloons
had been driven out, and referred to
the efficient help of the W. c. L. U.
in that and in closing the billiard
halls. The magic letters seemed to
arouse him to great enthusiasm
and he told eagerly of their work as
he had witnessed it, and closed with
a glowing tribute to his own dear
mother, who had consecrated her life,
her children, and her best powers to
the temperance reform, hoping that
some day all the children of the
earth" would be as happy as those of
her own household The freshman,
in turn, was led to speak of his moth
er's work in the W c. T. U., of his
sisters devotion to the organization,
and how he himself had distributed
tracts, notices, etc, to ''help those
good women Before / left home,

AS ''straws show which way the

conversation between two Princeton
College students, whose homes are so
widely separated, show the trend of
thought and conviction forming in
the minds and hearts of the young
men of this generation. Let the
mothers and the sisters of our land
rejoice that the 'brothers of our
girls show so loyal pride in the
work to which our lives are devoted,
and so brave a spirit in declaring
their principles on such vital but
unpopular topic as that of party pro
hibition In a school where the condi-
tions are not favorable for such dec
larations.'

A FIend Hung.

On the 4th inst, Luther Shaffer,
the murderer of Isaiah and Nora
Colby, was hung at Lock Haven,
Clinton county. The fiend made no
confession on the gallows, but was
cool and collected and shocking in
his remarks when he bade those pres
cut good bye and expressed the hope
of meeting them in heaven How
can such a wretch get to heaven In
the face of confession that he made
some time ago in which he told that
when he heard that Colby intended
to go to vendue that afternoon. the
7th of August, that he would conceal
himself near the house and after
Isaiah had gone he would go back
and have some fun with Nora. But
Isaiah afterwards went to work In a
field and from his hiding place Shat
fer watched him. Getting tired OF
waiting so long he finally left his
place of corcealment and went to
the field where Isaiah was, and to
gether they went to the house to sup
per. After supper Isaiah went ont to
cUt grass to feed the stock and on
his return Shaffer met him and fired
two shots into him Nora hearing
the shots ran out Of the house to
where the men were and finding
Shaft standing over the dead body
of her husband, cried out You've
sent my husband to hell What did
you do that for ?" Yes replied
Shaffer, and am going to send you
after ..him." He then shot her twice
but not fatally, and while in this
condition he satisfied his lust. after
which, in order to prevent her tell
ing any tales, he shot her through
the head.

Craxed BY Religion.

CHICAGO, April 5.-A despatch from
Fergus Falls, MINI, says: Albert
Dodge told his wife Tuesday night
that they ought TO go heaven at once
She ran out of the house and met a
neighbor named Jenne. Dodge went
into the ward and coaxed them both
to come in. He then locked the doors
and put down the curtains and began
talking religion. Meantime word had
been sent to the police station and
three policemen arrived They tried
every ruse to have Dodge open the
door, but he refused. and as he had
the keys in his pocket. his wife and
Jenne were powerless- On his table
was a double barreled shotgun load
ed and cooked, with cartridges and
ammunition lying around, and in his
pocket a revolver and huge knife.
Matters remained in this shape until
last night, when the police broke III
a window and entered. Dodge ran
into another room snd raised his re
volver to kill his wife She grasped
his wrist and turned 1t as he fired
and the bullet entered his own brain.
Dodge had been broeding over relig
ious matters for some time.

CELAYA, Mexico, April Sunday
afternoon the bull ring here was
crowded with spectators Of the great
national sport The company of bull
fighters from Leon was still playing
with the first bull when fire sudden
" broke out on the sunny side of the
plaza a panic seized upon the vast
asseInblage and frightful spectacle
was the result. The plaza was con-
structed of wooded masts, reeds, etc,
and 1t was due to this fact that the
majority of people escaped without
injury, being able to force an open
ing permitting an exit at different
points, but many women and children
jumped from the top, a distance of
200 to 800 feet, and over 100 of them
were seriously wounded Eighteen
lives were lost.
The sides of the plaza being lined
with mating, WAS as dry as tiuder,
and there being a slight wind blow
ing, the amphitheatre was IN a blaze
in few seconds. Nine dead bodies,
in some cases so charred as to be uu-
recognizable, have so far been taken
from the smoking ruins. Nine per-
sons were SO badly burned that they
died yesterday. This makes eighteen
deaths in all up to to-day. Sixty
eight persons were very badly burn
sd, and though they still live, atleast
ten of them will die this week. Fifty
person in escaping were knocked
down and trampled upon by the pan
ic stricken throng, and very seriously
but not fatally injured.
The bulls, maddened by the roar
ing of the flames, broke loose from
their stalls and rushed wildly through
the surging mass of humanity, toss
ing aloft aud knocking over all who
stood IN their way.
Among the eighteen dead weretwo
women who were first gored to death
by the bulls and their bodies after
wards burned.
The scenes IN the neighborhood of
the bull ring were sickening beyond
description Women and children,
divested of their clothing and crazed
with suffering from their burns, ran
aimlessly through the streets, and
could scarcely be overtaken or col
Iected by their friends. Several per
sons lost their reasons from the Sc

Mrs Rosie Greenburgh is one of
those unfortunate women who by a
series Of circumstances lost her teeth.
The loss Is attributed to natural causes,
but this fact doesn't lessen the def
cheney. What she lost by nature she
thought could be remedied by arri6ce,
and with this end in view over a year
ago she applied to DIR. Mcbride the
we'll known New Jersey avenue dentist.
Late one afternoon she entered the dent
al parlors and told her tale of woe, but
DIR. Mcbride was equal to the occasion.
He informed her that he could make
for her a set of molars that would be
equal to her own, aud fully capable OF
perform ing the same functions as those
she lost The cost of such a set Of ar
titicial masflcators would just be $25
Mrs Greenburgh left the dental
parlors very much elated as she pic
tured to herself restored youth auG
beauty and ghstening row OF pearl,
teeth adorning her mouth. The price
at that time was no consideration al
the lady thought of was her mouthfu
of artificial molars. She unfolded be,
plans and intentions to her husband
and be acquiesed in everything tha
had been said. When the day arrived
for Mrs. Greenburg to make the frs
call on DIR. Mcbride she FASTENED t
