NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-At the an
nual convention of the Intercolle-
giate Amateur Athletic association
in New York today several pro-
posed amendments to the constitu-
ton will be considered. They are
announced by the secretary OF the
association, as follows: Union col
lege will propose that in all track
events requiring more than one
heat, the first rounds shall be run
in the morning, and that but three
competitors shall be left in each
field event to contest in the after
noon. Union college will alSOprOpOse
the addition of the standing high
jump and standing broad jump;
Yale will propose that no one will
represent any college or university
as competitor at intercollegiate
meetings who has not been a
member of that college or univer-
sity in good and regular standing
for the entire portion Of the col
lege year prior to said meeting.
Harvard will offer an amendment
similar to the one proposed by
Union regarding events in the
morning. Princeton will pro-
pose an amendment to the
order Of the field events af-
fecting the hammer throw and
the bicycle races. 1t Is proposed
that the combined weights of the
hammer and handle shall not eX-
coed sixteen pounds, and, that, in
this event the competitor may as
sumo any position he pleases with
In the seven-foot circle. 1t is also
proposed that the finish of all BIZ
cycle races be judged by the first
part of the front wheel, which
touches the tape fastened fiat on
the ground at the winning post,
and that if the attendant oversteps
the mark in starting the wheel the
competitor may be disqualified.

A BRUTAL CRIME.
Shocking Assault on Bride Near
the North Carolina Line.

the North Carolina Line.
ELLIJAY, Ga, Feb. 4.-The peo-
pie of Towns county are securing
the woods for two men who have
been guilty of shocking outrage
upon a young woman who was on
her bridal trip. Grayson Brown,
who lives in Clay county, N. c.,
was married there a week ago to
one of the prettiest young girls of
the section. They decided on a trip
to visit some friends in Towns
county, Ga. There they were hos
pitably entertained and a dance
was given in their honor when
they decided to return home.
When near the North Carolina
line, travelling mountain road,
two men, named Agnow Borrows
and John Thompson, made Brown
hold up his hands while a pistol
was held to his heart. Then the
scoundrels assaulted Mrs. Brown
and escaped. The men told Brown
and his wife that if either one ever
divulged the crime they would be
killed. The crime leaked out and
officers arrested Burrows and
Thompson. While on their way
to town, and while crossing a
creek, the men effected their es-
cape by swimming down stream.
They have left the country. The
entire county is aroused, and
should they be caught they will
no doubt be roughly handled.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The. Chronicle
says that both the Queen and
the Prince of Wales are strongly,
and even nervously opposed
to Lord Salisbury's attitude,

sense of its own interest, and it is
not the first time that it has ex-
erted its influence to prevent the
peers from entering into conflict,
which might end in the total re-
adjustment of the constitution.

Presidents from the Farm.

In those halcyon days of agriculture
eleven Presidents of the United States
were called from farms:
l. Washington, the land surveyor and
farmer, from Mt. Vernon.
2. John Adams of Quincy, who, dur
ing the last year of his Presidency. said:
II am weary, worn and disgustsd to
death. I had rather chop wood, dig
bitches and make fences upon my poor
little farm. Alas poor farm and poorer
family, what have you lost that your
country might be free.i
3. Jefferson, farmer, philosopher and
statesman, from Monticello.
4. Madison, farmer and lawyer of
Montpelier, Va.
8. Monroe, farmer, from Oak Hill, Va.
e. John Quincy Adams. from the Quin-
cy farm of one hundred acres, near Bos-
ton. lIt is said that most of the trees
were raised by John Quincy Adams from
the seeds which he was in the habit of
picking up in his wandsrings. The most
peculiar interest attaches to a shellbark
hickory which be planted more than
fifty years previous to his death. In this
tree he took peculiar satisfaction. but
he was an enthusiast in regard to all the
trees in the forest, different in this re-
spect from his father, who was an agri-
culturist of the Cato stamp-was more
inclined to lay an ak TO them than to pro-
pagate them.)
Z. Andrew Jackson of the Hermitage
in Tennessee, who. as farmer, soldier and
lawyer, was most excellent type of the
best Americanism.
s. Van Buren, of Kinder hook, N, Y.
was called to his Presidency from his
sheep and wool farm. although he was
lawyer OF far above average aoquirements
and ability.
8. William Henry Harrison from his
farm at North Bend, Ohio.
10. Tyler of Sherwood Forest Farm,
Va, where he subsequently, died.
IL. James X. Polk of Duck River.
Tenn, also came from the. farm to the
Presidency. This selection of Presidents
from rural homes-from m among the farms
of the country-illustrates the fact that in
those days there was no profession or call
ing which held more exalted position in
public estimation than that of sgricult-
ure.-Forum.
