INITIATION COSTS 4 LFE.-The
death OF a Yale student, which occur
red at New Haven, Conn.,, Monday
night, will probably put All end to the
foolish initiation ceremonies of some of
the college secret societies.
Wilkins Ruskin, of Omaha, Neb., was
the victim. The initiation, which had
been postponed a few days in conse-
9uence of the death of young Wander
bit, took place last Wednesday even
ing. Ruskin was candidate for D. K.
Z, and was being put through the usual
course on Chapel street when the MEM
Oers of the society who had him in
charge told him to run at full speed
down the street.
Hit 'er up lively" shouted one CT
the men. Ruskin was blindfolded but
started on brisk run. He swerved q
nttle from the direct course and though
tne spectators shouted him to stop he
alled to hear them, and dashed full
speed into an express wagon.
!, The pole of the wagon struck him in
lhe stomach and he sank unconscious
70 the ground.
He was carried to his room and med
lcai attendance summoned. He grew
steadily worse and his condition was
such Tuesday that surgical operation
was determined upon as the only chance
OF saving his life.
The operation was in progress Mon
oay night at twenty-five minutes past
eleven, when the young man died.
1oung Ruskin was fine athlete and
was captain of the sophomore ball
,eam. His parents, who live in Omaha,
Neo., were telegraphed.for several days
ago and are now on their way East.

SHE MERELY PRESSED THE BUTTON.
A tall and elegantly dressed lady whom
nobody knew walked into the office of
the Palace Hotel the other night. A big
crowd was around. The place was
thronged with eastern editors, and out
side bordering the circular driveway
there was rattle and crashing of bag
gage, for hacks and carriages had just
arrived from the overland train with
passengers.
Over dozen persons stood before
the desk. valises and satchels in hand,
waiting to be registered. Clerks stood,
pen in hand, or disappeared and then
came into view again like automatons
on On oiled track.
The lady asked for messenger, hav-
ing penciled her name in brief note
on a card. She was in o hurry and
deemed the matter in hand of prime
Importance. Slight imperiousness was
noticed in her manner. Itgrew strong
er as she paused there for the messen-
ger to come. Then, as if she would end
it all at once and with the words u
will ring for one myself" depicted on
her face, she reached for the bell and
gave it a cordial punch.
Utter darkness fell upon the bustling
throngs throughout the building. Her
hand had fallen upon the electric key
board and every light went out. There
were speculations of astonishment and
chagrin, and the stiffness was broken at
intervals by dozen questions.
The clerks sprang to the seat of the
difficulty, and when at length the light
was turned on the crowd noticed the
figure of the impetuous lady vanishing
as quietly and rapidly as possible from
their astonished gaze. She never came
back.-San Francisco Examiner.

ST JOINS LODGE MAY WITHDRAW.
Last September Old Well Masonic
Lodge of South Norwalk, Conn.,, pre-
terred charges before the Grand Lodge
against St. Johns Lodge of Norwalk
for un-Masonic conduct in placing
member Henry Karlson, in the aims
house Grand Master Hugh Sterling
anpointed trial committee, and in
their report st. Johns Lodge was rep
rimanded and ordered to pay about
800 to Old Well Lodge for expenses in
cured in the case of Karlson.
Last week the lodge held u commu-
nication, and the Master, Frederick
Mead. read an address to the members.
Among other things he stated that he
had conversed with the Grand Master
since the application for rehearing
had been denied and that he (the Grand
Master) admitted that st. Johns
Lodge must suffer an unjust sentence.
He admitted that he had a point to car
~ in the prosecution, and that he used
every means to that end"
The lodge Immediately voted to re-
consider the vote by which the bill was
ordered paid, and the bill was ordered
not to be paid. The following resolu-
ton was introduced
Resolved, That this lodge, revoking
all of its previous acts and votes incon-
sstent herewith, does hereby withdraw
from allegiance to and affiliation with
the Grand Lodge of Masons of Connec-
ticut
In the preamble the Grand Master
was accused of being "an accomplice in
blackmail proceedings" that he had
made a series of unfair, partial and
untruthful statements" and that his ac-
ton constituted an unparalleled series
ofunjust, unlawful, arbitrary and un-
Masonic proceedings"
Action on the resolution was deferred
until next Thursday evening. ST.
Johns Lodge is one of the Oldest in the
State.

Things Worth Remembering.

When you feel kind of goneness about
the stomach it is a sign that your food
does not sit well. and that you are about
to have fit of indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and
are unable to sit still. comfortably; when
your clothes suddenly seem TO lose their
fit and become too tight in places. the fit
of indigestion is surely upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is repeated
from day to day it finally resolves itself
into dyspepsia.
Remember that three to 10 of Bran
dreth's Pills will cure the worst case of
indigestion or dyspepsia, or both, and
that a regular course of them. say two
every night for a week or 10 days. will
act as q preventive of either complaint.

A Movement to Establish One on Credit
Island Below the City.
A movement is on foot in the
interest of the establishment OF q boat
mems snug harbor on Offerman's Island
below this city. Rev. B. FARMLAND Of
Chicago, general superintendent of the
Western Seamen's Friend society, was in
Davenport last week, the Democrat says,
and talked of the matter with rivermen
He left with them for circulation copies
of a petition looking to the establish
ment of such q home for WORKOUT and
disabled boatmen; especially for those
who have held licenses-captsins, mates,
pilots and engineers.
This petition recites the fact that when
Credit island was originally purchased
tention was to use portion of it for the
establishment of an institution similar to
the Sailors snug hsrbor on Randall's ISL
and, New York.. this local insti-
teton to be home for aged and
disabled boatmen and others who had
been employed on the water
ways of the west. 1t is related that
Rev. Mr.. Franklin is engaged in trying
to secure permanent control of this
property, financial efforts in this direc-
ton being made by him. and that there is
danger that the opportunity to secure
such control will pass away unless it is
improved within the next 12 months.
The petition is drafted so as to cause a
request by it's signers that the Western

Seamen's Friend Society take action in
behalf of this projected institution by
securing funds for the purchase of such
portion of the Island as may be deemed
nee ssary to the establishment of the
home. The petition concludes in these
words:
We also call attention to the fact that,

from dues paid by seamen and river
boatmen for marine hospital service,
there is no adequate provision on large
