University Extension.

At the annual meeting of the Society
for the Extension of University Teaching
in England it was reported that the num-
ber of separate centers had increased
from twenty-five in 1885 to fifty-nine in
1898, while the number of students had
increased from 3,662 10 1884. 1t Will be
seen, therefore, that the university eX-
tension movement in England is making
steady progress. The problems of the
movement in England are much simpler
than those in this country. The compact
ness of the population, the comparatively
short distances between the large cities,
and the number OF trained men without
professional position or teaching duties,
furnish very favorable conditions, not
only for the Inauguration but for the ex-
tension of such a movement.

CHATTANOOGA (Tenn.), Feb. 5.-George
n. Henson, president of the Citizens
Bank and Trust Company of this city.
this afternoon shot and killed Colonel j.
B. Vert, until recently a man of the
highest standing in every respect in
Chattanooga Lavens Thomas, young
lawyer, who was bystander, was struck
in the arm by shot accidentally, and
painfully wounded.
After the tragedy Henson coolly pro-
ceeded to the law office of Pritchard,
Sizer & Bible, whom he engaged as
counsel, and then telephoned for the
Sheriff.
The shooting took place in passenger
elevator of the Richardson building. and
is sequel to the divorce suit of Henson
against his wife, filed last spring. charg-
ing Colonel Vert with being unduly in
innate with Mrs. Henson. The case was
compromised and taken out of court
Colonel Vert then demanded that an in
vestigation be made by the Centenary
Methodist Church, of which he was treas
urer. The church court decided Vert
guilty and publicly expelled him.
This afternoon the men met by chance
for the first time since last May. Vert
entered the elevator at the second floor Of
the building. Not word passed between
the two men. Henson, at the sight of
Vert, drew a revolver and fired two
shots, the first bullet passing through the
arm of Attorney Thomas, who was in the
elevator. The second entered Wert's
heart. killing him instantly.
Henson will have preliminary trial
tomorrow. Friends claim that Vert
had made threats that he would kill Hen
son on sight. Another theory advanced
is that Henson was craZed over the scan
dal and that when this opportunity for
revenge presented itself he could not re-
sist the temptation. Ever since the scan
dial was first published Henson has acted
queeriy at times. He had rendered his
resignation to the bank. and also asked to
be relieved from serving in an official ca
pacity in other institutions with which
ne has been connected, but his friends
induced HIM to reconsider his action.
Colonel Vert leaves a wife, two young
sons and grown daughter, the latter a
very beautiful young lady and great
tavorite in society.
The unfortunate affair has created the
most profound sensation ever known in
Chattanooga.

age in charge of a minor officer while he

The Carnival at New Orleans Opens In
Blaze of Glory.
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 5.-The carnival
season was inaugurated here tonight in
a blaze of glory, with the brilliant crew
of Proteus. The crowds on the streets
during the day were quite as large as at
any preceding carnival for the past seven
years, and The attendance of visitors from
parishes in Louisiana and various States
was conspicuously large. The reception
of Rex during the day was attended with
the customary ceremonies on such occa-
sions. The King reached the city by the
river. and was welcomed with salvos of
artillery and the screeching noises OF
hundreds of steam whistles. The mill
tary was imposing. 1t was not great
display, but what there was of it was
good. There were three visiting compa-
MES. the Burgesses of Albany, the Du-
buque Guards and the Boston Lancers.
The illuminations this year were brill
liant and as numerous as on any similar
occasion, aud the streets were animated
and interesting. The soldiers were on
leave in the evening and leisurely en-
ioyed the parade from points of vantage
along the route.
The subject treated this evening in the
magnificent pageant of Proteus was Shah
Namh, epic OF kings, and was beauti-
fully illustrated story in the moving tab
leaux of Persian Kings. There were
nineteen floats in the pageant tonight,
which was pronounced equaling in
grandeur any similar effort. A hundred
and fifty thousand people watched it's
progress through the streets,
Rex will appear tomorrow at IL
o'clock in pageant embracing nineteen
floats, and Comus will bring the carnival
season to an end tomorrow night.
The ball of Proteus tonight was an ex-
ceptionally successful event.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-A special cable
gram to the Associated Press from Rio
Janeiro, dated last night, says: During
Saturday night and Sunday the insur-
gents steamed their vessels into positions
of advantage, preparatory to making a
decisive attack on the Government posis
tions, at Nictheroy, especially, Monday
morning
1t is understood this is the final des-
perate effort on the part of the insurgents
and that on it's success everything de-
ponds, so far as the revolution is con-
cerned. 1t is expected early Monday
this morning the insurgent commander
will land force on shore which, covered
by the fire of the vessels, will advance on
the Government positions for a final con-
f1ict.
The general opinion here is that the
insurgents will be defeated. and the col
lapse OF the rebellion, in this part of the
country at least, will Immediately follow.
Later information concerning the in
tended landing of the insurgents in the
neighborhood of Nictheroy show that it
was the intention Of Da Cana to send
forces ashore Sunday morning, and that
the Admiral was led to believe that regi-
ments of the National Guard would join
issue with the insurgents the moment the
latter landed. The plot leaked out, and
the insurgents were compelled to post
pone the attack. Up to the hour this dis
patch was filed the insurgents had not
made an attack upon Nictheroy, and it IS
probable the guardsmen will remain
loyal TO PeiXoto. and the insurgents will
have to still further postpone the attempt
to capture the city.
