Last Friday night at Central Music
Hall, Chicago, occurred the most note
worthy intercollegiate debate of the
year. The represen tatlves of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin debated with the
representatives Of Northwestern Univers-
ity on the question: Is it desirable that
Cuba belong to the United States? The
representatives OF Wisconsu-W. w.
Allen, j. T. Healy, L. j. Smith-had the
mega tive side. Robert L. Lincoln pre-
sided. The judges We're Judge Romance
Bum, ex-Postmaster General Don M.
Dickinson and ex-Congressman VIM.
Warner. The debate was especially
noteworthy because both institutions
represented had already achieved high
distinction i'll Intercollegiate debate.
Northwestern University had defeated
the University of Chicago once and the
University OF Michigan twice; the Uni
versity of Wisconsin had one week pre-
viously defeated the University of Mime
sofa. There was great enthusiasm,
therefore, on tha part OF both institu-
tIons. The decision of the judges was
unanimous in favor of the negative sup
ported by the University of Wisconsin.
This victory makes the University Of
Wisconsin virtually the champion in the
west in intercollegiate debate. On the
following evening the Forum Society of
the College of Law defeated the Forum
Society OF Milwaukee.

mother of the late Charles Stuart Par

to ascertain whether story was true
which has been published in certain
American newspapers, to the effect
that Mrs Parnell was aware Of the
identity of the person who made a
murderous assault upon her in April
Of last year; that she had been afraid
to disclose the name while she was in
the United States, but that now that
she was in foreign country, she was
prepared to name the assailant, and
that he had been actuated by political
motives. Mrs. Parnell deoied all these
assertions. She does not know the

Fgur~s Mounting Up rs the Work
of Excavation Goes Forward.
According to Scriptural chronology.
the world is about $500 years old, the
theory most generally accepted being
that the cremation occurred 4OO4 years
before the beginning of the Christian
era. Professors Haynes and Hill
pracht, of the University of Pennsyl-
Vania, who have been conducting exca-
Vatlons in the ruins of the East, have
recently made discoveries which seem
10 prove a high state of civilization
l,ONO years before the birth Of Christ.
Large numbers of stone tablets have
been found in Nipur. the buried city of
the Euphrates, which carry back hui
man written history nearly 5000 years
Iurther than any records heretofore
known. Prof. s. A. Binion, an emf
nent archaeologist and Psychologist,
member of the Biblical-Archaeologic
Society of London, says: ..Not a doubt
has been expressed as to the correct
ness Of the dates of the tablets taken
from the prehistiric Nipur and which
have just been deciphered. Assyrian
chronology up to the time of Sargon is
not SO much beset with obstacles as
the Egyptian. Their scribes put down
the dates, counting the years from the
accession of various rulers
The day Of the month and the wear
are invariably given on these tablets.
and as their moths are lunar, bearing
the same names and exactly CORE
spending to the present Jewish caIen-
OAR, it is within easy reach of the
chronologist." Nipur is upon the very
spot where the Garden of Eden is
thought to have been situated, and a
few miles from the Tower of Babel.
The ruins from " Itch the tablets were
eXcayated are under II ere than thirty
six feet of earth, upon the top of which
were ruins of the ancient city of Nipur,
regarded by archaeologists as one of
the oldest known
Both Of these cities, one under the
other, had the same name, although
they were separa ted by more than
1000 years of time. Prof. Binion is of
the opinion, in his interesting review of
archaeological discoveries, printed in
the New York Journal. that the first
city of Nipur, the prehistoric city, was
wiped out by the deluge described in
the Bible. The excavations were be-
gun in 1888, and through the munifi-
cence of friends of the University of
Pennsylvania have been continued I'D
to the present time. The explorers
have been richly rewarded for their
labors, although the result apparently
upsets the reckonings of Biblical schol-
ars--Baltimore Sun.
