Alleged Finding of Letter From a
Man Who Helped Kill Cronin.
A water soaked letter with illegible ad-
dress has been found on the shore of Third
Sister Island by c. B. Smith of Niagara
Falls. 1t is now in the hands of Superin-
tendent T. V. Welch 1t purports to have
been written by man premeditating suicide,
to his brother, and is dated May 90 ani
signed ED"
The writer tells how he helped at Chicago
to get rid of C. "that devilish traitor and
spy" and how long he has waited for "the
trunk" and now overcome by fear that the
plot has miscarried and by remorse at his
crime, he will seek death in the rapids.
What lends color to the authenticity of the
letter is the fin ling on June 27 of a decom-
posed body of man which was buried with
out identification at Drummondsville.

1ects statistics, brings out some figures to
help the cause of peace. 1t seems that

the killing of each man cost more than
$4,000. The total cost was $12, ,065, ,000,-

BAD RAILROAD SHOWING.
Eight Roads in Six Months Go Into
Bankruptcy.

The Railway Age says that the amount of
mileage and capital involved in railways
that have gone into the receivers during the
past six months exceed the aggregate for any
similar period since the disastrous year of
1885. Eight roads were bankrupted,
with a total length of 269O miles, and
an apparent investment Of S125, ,57O,-
OO0 The St. Louis, Arkansas &
Texas, the international & Great Northern
and the Chicago & Atlantic make up the
bulk of the bad showing. Railway fore
closures during the six months were also
eight in number, which would not be an i'm
portant exhibit were it not that the mileage
of the roads aggregates 1915, and the bonds
and stock S92, ,673, 600 Nearly two-thirds of
these totals, however were furnished by one
company, the Wabash.

AT ST. PAUL,s CHURoH.

Lecture by Bishop Morris OF Oregon
Villages In Need OF Money and Pas
tors.
Bishop Morris of Oregon gave q lesturs on
the missionary work in Oregon ct ST. Pauls
church to q small audience last evening. The
lecture, which incidentally illustrated the
rapid growth of some western villages, show
cd the many opportunities that missionaries
have to use large sums of money to buy land
and build churches in several small villages
that are without any places for church wor-
ship. Bishop Morris. stated that in many
towns where the number of houses are 80
small that the places can hardly be called
villages, the Roman Catholics are there
ahead of other religious denominations. y {
The speaker stated that in order to estab.
lish church where one was needed, he had
at 8 per cent. borrowed 81, 200 with which he
had purchased land on which to erect suit
able building for religious worship. There
are many church families In the vicinity with
no suitable place to attend divine worship.
Beside the difficulties regarding the erection
of churches, there are many difficulties In
the way of hiring pastors for them.
Bishop Morris illustrated the benevelence
| of q lady who resides in Philadelphia, who
has bought land, paid $4,000 for . church,
and promised to devote more money to the
work of the church in Oregon.
| In conclusion the speaker made the re-
mark that if there was no begging there
would be little done in church work. Benev-
olent people would be rewarded, and the re-
ward would be in proportion to the benevo-
lence. The proceeds Of the collection which
was taken will be devoted to the work of the
| church in Oregon.

College Presidents Debating.

The meeting of college presidents was con-
tinusd in this city yesterday. They spent
the day in discussing such topics as "What
should be the minimum of mathematical
studies for the degree of bachelor of artF'
"Ought not our courses of study, both pre-
scribed and elective, to be arranged that any
given candidate for the degree of bachelor
of arts should be compelled to oonfne his
time to a smaller number of subjectsa' and
the expediency of reducing the college
course to three years, and the significance
of the titles.of master of arts and doctors of
philosophy. The reduction of the college
course to three years is favorite idea of
President Eliot. The presidents hope to soun.
teract the fierce spirit of rivalry between COL
lages which they think athletics has begot-
ten. The present is the first of series Of
annual meetings.
