 Syracuse N. Y, Aug. 26-Miss Lu- cretia Clark, the school teacher who so mysteriously disappeared from Plain field, N. J., August 9, has been found She was discovered today at the home of Ex- Mayor Charles Hayden at Fitch burg, Mass, by Detective Beck of New York who has been at work on the case since last Friday. Detective Beck ar rived in this city tonight with Miss Clark in charge. It was discovered that on Friday noon of her disappearance she had visited Macey's store. The detective continued to work upon the case and the Macey clew that led to the finding of Miss Clark was received in letter.
 Detective Beck's name has become known in connection with the mystery and on the second day of his investlga- tion he received several anonymous let ters threatening him with bodily harm if he persisted in following up the case. Beck states that the woman became mentally derarged and knew nothing of what transpired after leaving Macey's store. Unconscious of her actions she boarded a night boat, bound for Provi- dence. When she reached Boston Miss Clark went to a boarding house on Ire mont street. On the morning of August 10 she appeared at an employment bu- reau and asked for position as domes- JIG.

Here she gave her name as Mary Burke, and from that time until this morning Miss Clark never left the house, attending to her duties as a domestic in the closest man. Der.
 The general appearance of Miss Clark since she left Syracuse is greatly changed. Part of her hair has been cut short and when she descended from the train she was dressed in black from head to foot. A lang black veil covered her head and face and she spoke to no one until the Sweet residence was reached. Her relatives here refuse to talk, only saving Miss Clark is very ill

THAT COLLEGE.
MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE YESTERDAY
Sub-Committees Appointed to Consider Loca1 tion-0nIy One Formal Proposition Re-
 ceyed-Notice of Others.

The new college committee of the North Alabama conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, held meeting in this city yesterday to receive propo- sitions for the location of new college, as provided for at the last annual con ference.
 The committee was called together at the Commercial club rooms at Il o'clock yesterday morning by Dr. Anson West of Decatur who presided over the meeting. Rev. J. w. Newman was made secretary.
 The fo' wing members of the com mittee N.a present: Rev Dr. Anson Wess of Decatur, Rev. pr. J. w. Newman of Talladega Rev. E. M. Glenn of Ely ton, MT. c. C. Arlington of Birmingham, Prof. I. N McAdory of Jonesboro, Rev. l.. A. Daisey of Decatur, Rev. Dr. z. A. Parker of Birmingham and Rev. pr. $. M Hosmer of Birmingham.
 The committee appointed to receive bids for the location of the college re- ported only one as having compiled with the requirements. MT R. w. Owen made them an offer of 100 acres of land on the line of the Bessemer and Birmlngham railroad between Birmingham and BeS- semer It was also understood that he would supplement this donation with ether concessions.
 The committee stated that a number of other places had sent in notices of in- tention to bid for the college, but they had not complied with the requirements, and therefore their bids could not be con- sidered The places of whose intention to bid for the college the committee had notice were Guntersville, Wyeth City, Jasper, Gadsden and Woodlawn.
 Two subcommittee were appointed to take the matter in charge and report at another meeting of the committee, to be held in this city on the 9th of NoVem- Der. The two sub-committees consist Of Rev. E. M. Glenn and Prof. l. w. Me Adory, who will confer with the places around Birmingham and Jasper and in vestigate their propositions; and Revs: z. A. Parker and J. B. Gregory. who will look into the propositions from Gadsden, Guntersville and Wyeth City.
 The full committee will meet in Bir- mingham again on November to hear the reports from these two sub-com- mittees, and it is probable that the col lege will be located at that time.

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY srARs7
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds of Passage"
the Chautauquan says II one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer, he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge of the unfailing
stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap-
peared at the same time in our region,
even when the divisions of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
Of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mists. On starlight nights stray
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky is overcast, when the night is
dark, but especially when a fine rain is
falling, multitudes Of travelling birds
are heard. They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers of
them bound against the windows of
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. 2S, 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowfiakes
against the lighthouse of Hellgoland,
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Hellgoland. Toward the end Of the
summer, along into the fall, 1t was not
rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light of street lamps,
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by it's call
the curlew and the strand-snipe, sea-
swallow and seagull, occasionally hears
even the flap Of their wings. But no
bird is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stars appear; then 1t Is that
the straying bird loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds in their migrations. But only the
future can tell US whether they really
serve in that capacity.

unjust to Spain, "the mother and dis

the mother of America, but she never
treated her child with any maternal
tenderness. She simply used her Ameri-

of them, and her influence, wherever II

only served to retard progress and pre-

such a mother should not be ardently

spired only contempt In the mind Of
the officer, as on the occasion of their
first meeting.
Dr. Busatti quilted the town to visit
a patient in the vicinity of the Watch
Tower. A neighbor limited that Jacob
Dealtry had not been seen to emerge
from the garden gate for several days
The young physician approached
the portal and knocked. There was
no response. At this moment Dolores
and Lieut. Curzon appeared on the
path Greetings were exchanged.
Possibly these two men recognized,
with a swift and mutual intuition of
change, how strangely the tangled
thread of life had involved and
brought them back to common start
ing point, the threshold of Jacob Deal.
try's door.
Dolores grew pale as the knocking
on the gate was repeated. All, if they
had come too late! Florio increased
her agitation by whining pitifully.
Did the dog remember the spotP
Dolores cast frightened glance about
her, and pressed her hands to her
throbbing heart
"GrandpapaI"
The fresh young voice pierced the
stiffness. "Grandpapa! Dolores is
here. Open the door"
Surely the strained attention of the
group of listeners detected sound, a
slow movement, within the enclosure,
the heavy dragging of feet on the
ground. The bolt moved, the chain
ratified, and then DR.. Busatti pushed
against the barrier. Jacob Dealtry
had fallen in making this final effort
The garden presented an appearance
of the utmost disorder and dilapida-
ton. Plants were uprooted, stones
dlslodged, the soil disturbed. In the
vestibule of the tower the portrait of
the Knight lay on the floor, revealing
an open door in the wall, and the
carved chair, overturned, was shown
to have concealed second recess in
the wall All about the old man heaps
of shining coin lay scattered, rolling
in reckless profusion on the path, in
half emptied boxes, in tangled masses
of rags, in bags of leather, cloth and
silk.
Lieut.. Curzon was scornfully silent
DR.. Busatti uttered an involuntary
exclamation of surprise and dismay
and wiped his damp brow. If the
former realized, with swift conviction,
that Jacob Dealtry must have been
seeking some fresh hiding place for
mis- money when he found him in the
ruined temple, the emotion of Dr.
Busatti was far more lively when he
actually trod upon the Sicilian dol-
lar in order to aid the unconscious
owner.
Dolores in advance of both of her
had knelt and lifted her
grandfather's head on her breast with
remorseful sol,citude.

with utter unconcern, and, plunging
INTO the clump of reeds, brought out

physician, again testing the feeble
