RE-opENING OF GARFIELD UNIVERSITY.

| The very unnecessary and unwise sus-
pension of this Institution at a
time when its financial success
was probable, and even we'll
nigh secured, has been a source of great
regret to all who have been cognizant of
the fact, and especially disparaging to
those who were heroically battling the adj
versity caused by the reflex of the boom,
and decline of property values. Nearly
three years of earnest and lncesant labor
has been required to clear the way and re-
adjust the finances of Garfield university
so as to secure to it future permanent
usefulness. This task is at last sccomp-
lished and the new era of its life and work
invites the kindly consideration of
its former friends and patrons, and
thousands of students will find hearty
welcome here for the Incompatible uni
versity building has ample capacity to &C
commodate them-there being sixty reel
tatiou rooms which in a six hour daily
session would provide for 800 recitations.
The boarding halls are also ample and are
now being renovated and prepared for the
reception and comfort of students
There is no better climate for vigorous
study-the altitude /, 400 feet above the
sea, and as between the north and south
it is sufficiently vigorous for south
ern students and agreeably moder-
ate to those of the more
rigorous north. The work done here is
designed to be in every respect worthy of
honest comparison with that of other in
situations of learning throughout our
national domain. In word this univer-
sity will strive earnestly to be worthy of
place in rank with the best universities
east or west. a spring school will open
in the university building Monday, March
IS, 1892 and continue ten weeks, and this
will be followed by summer normal.
Professors Griffin and Lucy, with such
competent helpers as circumstances may
demand. will conduct these terms agreea-
BILE to the needs and demands of students.
The university proper will open in har-
mouy with other universities and colleges
in the fall.
1t may be of interest to the public to
know that the adjustment of all matters
of business between Edgar Harding of
Boston and the board of directors of the
new corporation in this city was completed
Yesterday, which fixes the status of this
institution for the future.
OF this corporation w B. Hendryx is
president, J. f. Johantgau, vice president;
]. w. Gill, secretary; j. \. Haymaker,
treasurer, and H NJ Mum, book keeper

SERIOUSLY BuRNEp.
A Gasoline Explosion Results in Serious In
juries 10 Mrs CIodfelter.

At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon an
alarm was turned in from the Manhattan
hotel Office giving the location of the ire
at 1856 North Topeka avenue The depart
ment responded with their usual prompt
ness and upon their arrival found the
building in one vast blaze. The water
was turned on and in an Incredibly short
S pace of time the flames became invisible.
The deluge of water was great and poured
on in three different streams.
The fire originated from an explosion Of
gasoline. Mrs. Clodfelter was cleaning
some ribbons and had vessel of the ex-
plosve, in which TO dip the ribbons in,
near the stove. The heat of the stove evil
IDENTIFY caused the explosion. and Mrs.
Clodfelter suspected nothing of it till she
was enveloped in flames. She was res
cued as promptly as possible and taken to
neighbours house, where she now lies.
She was badly burned about the shoulders,
neck, arms and face but not fatally,
however. Nothing was saved from
the fire and water but an organ.
The entire household goods are
almost completely destroyed and the poor
woman is not in a condition, financially
speaking, to replace them. Her little chill
dren had come home short while before
and had changed their clothing, putting
on their old dresses, and the poor little
girls also suffered, for all the clothing they
owned were burned except those they were
wearing. The worst of it is there was not
penny of insurance on either the house
hold goods or clothing, and consequently
the loss is still more deplorable. Owing
To 2 he, Lu,.f -i,
sibly take care of the children, but Mrs.
NJ. w. Levy, out of the generosity of her
noble heart, and prompted by both moth
erly and ssterly feelings, came forward
and took the children to her own home,
and assured the poor and affected widow
that they should be well taken care of and
provided for till she was well again. But
they have no clothing" protested the poor
mother. ooh, never mind that" said
Mrs. Levy, there are plenty OF
stores in town. 1t is such true benevo-
lence as that that makes all races and all
DaUionalities and all conditions and, in
fact, all the world akin. Now, then, to the
future: Here is poor widow, with three
bright little schoolgirls, made completely
destitute of everything in the line of
worldly goods, and in sick-bed, too.
where she must necessarily lie and suffer
for many weeks. What are the natural
instincts of humanity in this case? Are
they to stand by in forgetfulness Of this
poor mothers misery and restitution, or
are they to go to work at once and do
something to alleviate her condition? They
are certainly of the latter character. If
the ladies and gentlemen of Wichita will
remember the lessons of their youth, about
bread being cast upon the waters. ETC.,
they will not rest until the loss which has
resulted to this poor woman is repaired.

A Startling Coincidence.

In the year 1864, on Dec. 5, the Eng.
lish ship Menai was crossing the Eng.
lish channel when she was capsized by
gale. Of the eighty-one passengers on
board but one was saved, and his name
was Hugh Williams. On the same day
Of the month, in the year ;735, pleas.
ure yacht was wrecked on the coast of
the Isle of Man. There were sixty per.
sons on tho boat, among them one Hugh
Williams and Ills family. OF the three
score none but Old Hugh Williams sur
vived the shock.
On the 9Th day of August, 1S2O a
picnicking party on the Thames were
run down by coal barge. There were
twenty-five of the picnickers, most of
them being children under twelve years
of age. Little Hugh Williams, visitor
from Liverpool, only five years old, was
the oaly one Of the merry party that
lived to tell the tale of the disaster.
Now comes tho most singular part of
this singular story. On Aug. 10, 1889, n
Lees coal barGer with nine men foun.
'rred of the coast of Scotland. Two of
these men, both Hugh Williamses, an
uncle and nephew, Were rescued by some
fishermen, and were the only men of the
crew who survived the calamity. Every
fact recorded above Gun be substanti.

COMMITTED SUICIDE
To Escape Being Made to 60 to
School.

TACOMA, Sept. ia special tc
the Ledger from Buckley says that
town was thrown into fever Of ex-
element by the suicide Of handsome
Miss Annie Plgonwich Sunday eve
ming. Annie, although only IA
years OF age, was preposessing
young lady, and II was whispered
she had not few admirers. Her
education had been sadly neglected,
and her mother insisted on her
going to school, which she refused
TO do, giving ~ an excuse that she
was too big aud would be made a
laughing stock of the boys. Finally
she was ordered to go to the public
school or be sent 10 the reformatory.
Upon this threat she replied that
sooner than comply she would end
her life. Sunday evening she was
found In commissions about two
hundred ya,ds from her home. DIR.
sheets was called, but to no avail,
as she died In a few minutes. She
informed all present that she had
taken poison to escape going to the
reform school.
