FROM WABASH COLLEGE.
Athletics Going to the Front at the
Presbyterian Institution.

Special TO the Indianapolis JOURNAL.
CRAwFORDSVILLE, Ind, Nov. H.
More than half of the fall term is already
gone. The students of Wabash College are
even beginning to think about Thanksgiv-
~ing-indeed, il seems that Christmas is only
a little way off. Interest in outdoor ath-
letics must soon cease. but interest in in
door athletics never ceases. Physical cul-
ture is required of all classes as scrupu-
lousy as any branch of study. Two hours
a week are given to 1t by all Students. the
drills being under a professional physical
director. There will be a great deal of ac-
tivity in the baseball cage this winter.
and the present indications are favorable
that Wabash will have a team next spring
that will carry on the admirable work be-
gun this fall by the football eleven. 1t Is
already reasonable to predict an era OF tri-
umph for Wabash College athletics. The
good material here is being developed in a
manner that makes success practically GER
tain.
asm more attention is likely to be given to
the literary societies.. A new one has just
been formed, and negotiations for joint de-
bates are pending. This work promises to
CURED literary work of the college. 1t has
the enthusiastic sanction and the support
ulty. A series of prizes has been arranged
for the New Calliopeans, and something of
the sort will probably be employed to stir
up the members of the Lyceum.
Professor Milford, the rhetoric and bellies
Iettres man of the college. is at the head of
a select society known as the Fortnightly
Club. 1t is doing a high grade of graduate
work in philology and literature. There
are three parts to this work. One consists
of the critical study of old English-Beo-
wulf, Caedmon and Cynewulf. In the course
of the year 5000 to $500 lines of old English
poetry are mastered. The second part con-
slsts of the preparation of theses. setting
forth the results of original investigation
and research. Duplicate copies of these
are placed on file in the library. The third
part consists of work in the Fortnightly
Review Club, where textbooks in the field
of literature and philology, as we'll as works
of a popular nature, including the magazine
articles, are the subject of review. The
membership of this society is limited to
ten. There are now eight members, each
of whom is either an instructor or a grad
uate student. They are: Professor Milford,
Professor Kritz, associate professor in En-
glish literature; Mr.. Starr, an instructors;
Mr.. Stevens, the fellow of 81, and Ira P.
Baldwin, H.. II. Bushnell. Marion w. Ba-
ker and r.. Il. Bard, graduate students.

SUICIDE NEAR MoRRIsTowN.
n. ID. Addison Jumps Into n Mill Race
After Taking Poison.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MORRISTOWN, Ind. Nov. u.-This
morning, about 3 o'clock, a trapper named
Watts, who lives about two miles north of
this place, went to examine his traps. when
he saw a horse and buggy hitched near the
Wolf milldam. When he reached the bridge
that spans the millrace he discovered a
mans hat and overcoat. Securing the as
sistance of Benjamin Young, he dragged
the race. About a hundred yards from the
bridge they found the body of A. D.. Addi-
son. In the overcoat was a gold watch,
some money and a letter. which read as
follows: Tell father not to grieve for me.
1 cannot live with the medicine that's in
me-" Addison had, no doubt, taken poison,
and, fearing it would not a k effect soon
enough, jumped into the race. He has
been slightly deranged since the death of
his mother, six years ago, at which time
he tried to commit suicide. He was an un-
married man. about forty-five years OF age,
and well known.
