Indiana Normal College has passed its
days OF probation, and should receive
the attention Of all who love learning.
Nowhere is the student received with

many other towns the residents relegate
students TO a secondary position. Al
Mitchell no such feeling exists. The
social equality and consideration in
which the students are held. is shown
by the fact that in The town, of more
than 2,0OO inhabitants, there are but
tw o families which have not accomo-
dated students in their homes.
The chief expense of the student II

TRAGEDIAN BOOTH IS DEAD.
HE PASSED PEACEFULLY AWAY.
Review of His Wonderful Career on
the Stage and the Story of His Life.

Edwin Booth. the actor died in the Play
day morning.
His end was peaceful. He was uncon.
scious for some minutes before he died.
The last four years OF Mr.. Booths lifo
have been passed at the Players Club, in
comparative retirement During the sam.
mer months of 1912 he spent considerable
time with his daughter at Nsrragansett
Beach, 1t was in the latter year, while
making his animal visit, that he was 20
seriously III at her home His frierds par
ticularly soicitous for his health Just at the
time, had grave appreh ensions that he would
not have sufficient sire 18th to warrant
attempting a return to New York, but with
cooler weather came an imi rovement in his
condition and he returned to the Player.
Club in October. Fro n this time those who
knew him most intimately remarked q
steady decline in his health.
CAREER OF THE GREAT rRAGEpIAs,
Edwin Thomas Booth, the most eminent
OF the sons of Junius Brutus Booth, was
born at Belair, near Baltimore, Md, Novem.
ber H. 1883, and was trained for the dra.
matte profession. Having filled many minor
parts, he made his appearance on the stage
as "rressell' in Richard IlI' in ls49, and
performed the character OF Richard Ill"
In place OF his father, who had been sudden.
ly taken III, in lSl. After tour through
California, Australia. and the Sandwich
Islands. he reappeared at New York in 1857,
visited England and the continent In 1861,
and returning to New York commenced a
series OF Shakesperean revivals at the Win.
ter Garden Theater in 1863. This establish.
ment was totally destroyed by fire, March
q, 1857, when. in addition TO the stage ef
fects. OF which he was the principle owner,
Mr.. Booth lost his valuable wardrobe, con.
tanning relics of his father, Kemble and Mrs.
Siddons.
Mr.. Booth, afrer series of successful en-
gagements In Boston, Philadelphia and
other large cities, commenced in 1868 the
erection Of a new theatre in New York,
which, in the perfection Of its arrangements
and the completeness OF all its appoint
ments, surpassed any other theatrical edifice
in the United States. II was opened in 1870
and was literally patronized but the cost of
the building, in which Mr.. Booth had in
vested all his means. prevented ultimate
pecuniary success and in 1873 it passed
from his hands.
