THE COLUMBIA IS A WONDER.

Home From Southampton in Days, 23
Hours and 40 Minutes.
With record which Is a surprise and q
delight to the Navy Department and to every
one with spark Of pride in the achievement
of American vessels, the triple screw COM
merce destroyer Columbia poked her
shapely white PROV over the New York har-
Dor bar at $50 O'CLOCK q. M, and at 1O.35
o'clock was off Quarantine Captain Sum-
ner and Chief Engineer Harris had brought
the cruiser from the Needles, of Southamp-
ton, to Sandy Hook Lightship in six days,
twenty-three hours and forty-nine minutes,
covering 3l12 knots at an average speed OF
1883 knots an hour, and placing to her credit
the best long distance run ever made by
warship. No other war vessel afoat has ever
been subjected to such severe test OF
strength, speed and endurance.
The distance covered was 3l09 miles. The
feat Of the Columbia Is not far behind the
best records OF Atlantic passenger ships,
which are built for speed and speed princi-
pally, and which ars handled in a way to
mako the fastest time possible.
It must be remembered that the warship
made the voyage under natural draught,
whereas In passenger ships. there Is always
more or less of forced draught. It is said
forced draught she would have considerably
lowered the record of the marine ocean grey
hounds.
She was built especially for speed-in fact.
to be a commerce destroyer-and her cap
tain and officers said that she had realized
every expectation and had proved herself to
be easily the fastest warship In the world.
Her daily runs were as follows: First day,
4O5 miles; SO e'ond, AGO; third, 462; fourth,
$50: fifth, 455; sixth, 453, and seventh, 4o5.

A DESPERATE DUEL.
Two Men the Victims of Kentuckian'
Aim.

Two Men the Victims of Kentuckian's
Aim.
The most desperate duel that has taken
oace in the Blue Grass region since the IA
nous fight in which Goodloe and swope
killed each other occurred in the Woodford
Hotel, at Versailles, Ky, when William New
ton Lane, Of Lexington, shot and instantly
killed James Rodenbaugh and mortally
wounded the young mans father. q. G. Ro-
denbaugh.
The facts leading up to the difficulty show
that it was the result of drunken debauch.
Lane went to the Woodford Hotel about
noon and got q room. After while he asked
lhs young man the amount Of his bill and,
upon receiving an answer, began to abuse
James Rodenbaugh, who was cripple.
Their words soon came to blows. and botn
men drew their pistols about the same
time
Lanes first shot struck RodenbauSh in the
neck just above the collar bone. 1t ranged
around through the jugular vein and lodged
under the skin in the back OF the neck. Al.
most at the same instant that Lane fired
Rodenbaugh's pistol was discharged, the bul.
let producing flesh wound OF little conse-
quence in Lanes left side in line with his
heart. Theblood gushed from Rodenbaugh's
throat, and giving few gasps he fell back
ward corpse.
Just as he fell his father opened the door,
and as he did so Lane turned upon thefather
and fired, the ball striking him In the mouth
and lodging in the back part OF his head. BE
reeled and Lane fired again. the second
bullet lodging in the old mans spine. he
dropped to the floor and lay by the side OF
his son.
d. G. Rodenbaugh was First Lieutenant
In the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, and was
Federal soldier. W. N. Lane Is a native OF
Montgomery County and Is about twenty.
eight years old. During the Breckinridge-
Owen campaign he was bitter partisan Of
Colonel Breckinridge.

While Buffalo Bills Wild West Show was
giving a performance before about $4,000
persons at Oswego, N. Y, terrific rain and
wind storm struck the town. The immense
dressing tent was blown to tatters and many
OF the men were injured. The horses with
the show were also stampeded.
The east half Of the canvas-covered grand
stand was blown away, and the six thousand
persons sheltered in that part OF the field
rushed down off the seats in wild panic.
Many women and children were trampled
upon and badly hurt, but were soon assisted
away to their homes. The Indians pre-
vented a stampede Of the western
half of the audience across the
arena by crowding their horses against the
ropes. The band did not stop playing dur
ing the excitement, and at the very worst
moment struck up "The StarSpangled Ban
ner.'' The show was also kept going in
spite of the sheets Of rain which swept across
the field.
Among the severely injured is an en-
ploye of the show named Brown, who Is at
the City Hospital with a fractured skull.
A little girl was nearly drowned before
assistance reached her, and Mrs. P.

daring gang of counterfeiters that have ever
operated in the United States have been
landed behind iron bars in Jersey City, n.
j., by Chief Hazen, Of the Secret Service.

to be the head and front of the whole under
taking-the capitalist and master brain Of
vast criminal conspiracy-escaped from the
custody OF two Secret Service agents In some
unexplained manner.
This escape, which forms one Of the most
sensational features.of a highly sensational
story, was effected from the fiat at No. 514
Third avenue New York City, occupied by
DR.. o. Z. Bradford, who Is the fugitive In

STUDENTS STEAL AN EDUCATION.
New Form Of Theft Discovered at the Uni-
versity OF Chicago.

New Form OF Theft Discovered at the uni
versity OF Chicago.
President Harper has discovered new
species of crime which Is peculiar to educa-
tional institutions and particularly to the
University of Chicago. This Is the theft OF
an education. The students this summer
are nearly all transients. Most OF them are
school teachers who come to acquire new
atoms of knowledge and general polishing
up In pedagogical methods. The university
charges a tuition fee Of $50 quarter for q
regular course Of three majors. For each
additional major subject an additional fee OF
$40 Is assessed. No student Is allowed to
register Tor more than four and usually not
more than three.
1t has been discovered, however, that many
ambitious students have been acquiring
knowledge on an extravagant range OF SUBJ
jects by registering In only one or two
courses and taking in a great many more as
visitors. The result was that professors,
who had few regularly registered students,
have been surprised by the spasmodic popu-
larlty Of their courses. In several classes
President Harper says the registration has
been small but the attendance has been i'm
mense. The President sent to each instructor
a notice which was also posted upon the
bulletin board, to the effect that no one
would hereafter be allowed to visit classes
without written permission from the dean.

TO PROMOTE ART.
Nearly Million Dollars Bequeathed to
Fairmount Park.

Nearly Million Dollars Bequeathed to
Fairmount Park.
The value and extent OF the bequest which
the late Anna a. Wilstach devised out Of her
fortune to the Commissioners OF Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia, towards the establish
ment, preservation and increase Of a public
art gallery in the park, Is, without excep-
ton, one of the largest ever made by an In
dtvidual in this country for such purpose,
and being composed principally OF securi-
ties, the fund is constantly increasing in val
ue. Mrs. Wilstach died In the early part Of
1893, and by her will bequeathed nearly all
OF her large and valuable collection Of paint
ings. bronzes and statuary, which had orna-
mented her handsome residence on West
Walnut street, In trust, to the Park Commis-
sioners, for the purposes stated.
In January last the second account OF the
estate as filed by the trustees was audited by
the Orphans Court, when the further sum OF
$50, ,167.2 20 was awarded to the fund, making
the total sum received up to date by the
Commission, including the 40 paintings,
which are valued at S153, 300, and were q d.

OF Minnesota. headed "Flne Cigars, Wines

ment attached to It:

nately dissipated. say emphatically give

titute. much prefer that they save their

it, and it is with those desire to trade"
The gentlemen Of honor" who have
money, will soon be in the same fix as those
whom he describes as UNFORTUNATELY disst-
pated." The name and address OF the ad-
vertiser Is at the end Of the advertisement:
