No Foot Ball Excursions
 For the State University

Letters from the highest authentic sauree bring the gratifying information that under no circumstances will the young gentlemen al the State University at Tuscaloosa be permitted to play loot ball away from their own campus.
 No dates for games are being arranged and the students have accepted with re- spaetful acquiescence and eommenda- ble loyalty the decision rendered by #bA hoard of trustees in June, 1896, and reaffii med June, 1897.
 President Powers evinees a proper dn- terest in athletic sports, and gives eVi- dence of a desire to gratify the students as far as lies within his jurisdiction on the university campus, but he never per- mtts the practice of either foot or base ball games to interfere with drill duty or any other obligation apperta.ning to the students daily lives.
 pr. Powers writes: "I cannot close without paying tribute to one young man. To remarkable extent they are studiOuS and devoted to uuty.
 If isa pleasure to be able to state the facts regarding foot ball, at the univer- sltv. as the announcement has been made in some Alabama papers, that the foot ball team was trying to arrange dates with other universities, and the state ment came as a great disappointment to 1,ox look forward to brighter and more pros perous future for the State University, under the able management and dlfec- tion of President Powers.
 The denial of President Powers Of the rumor regarding the revival of foot ball excursions will be very gratifying to Alabamians who have been forced to the belief that this college game is one of the most brutal and barbarous sports of this or any other age.
 Only a wholesome public opinion com bined with the efforts of the proper unl- versity authorities can put period to the intercollegiate foot ball games, which have brought more mutilatlon, death and degrading influences to American manhood than the prize fight, or any other brutal inhuman sport.
 In order to set at rest all rumors to the contrary, President Powers addressed letter of inquiry to MT. W. T. White, or Birmingham, president of the university of the Athletic Association, calling his attention to these rumors. MT. White sent a reply to Prof. Powers in which he said that the foot ball team had made mo effort whatever to arrange for games to be played off the university campus and up to the present time they had not completed arrangements for any game to be played on the campus. Every student in the university knows they will not be allowed to travel and have &C., cepted it in good faith.

Miss Maud Come, the
 Irish Joan of Arc

Miss Come, the young Irish woman, who recently arrived on American shores Is imbued with an intense love for her native land and a desire to aid in re- storing Ireland to her rightful place among the nations.
 The condition of the Irish people in their own country. owing to extreme poverty, has aroused in Miss Come the patriotic determination to awaken a sen timent in their behalf among Americans and with this end in vt=w she has talked freely of the Irish question since her arrival in New York.
 She Is described as a handsome girl, with graceful figure, interesting face, and a firm conviction that she, like Joan of Arc, is to bring relief to her people. In a recent interview, Miss Come said among other things:
 I believe, however, that the greater part of the Irish conservatives condemn this treacherous action, and the financial relations agitation is being continued with v.gor.
 am very hopeful of the future. The national spilat throughout Ireland IS stronger and healthier than ever. There is a. great spiritual and literary move ment growing up. The genius of the past which once made Ireland the great center of learning and art of the world seems again awakening in the Celtic race.
 Next year the centurys of our great struggle for freedom will give us a grand opportunity of asserting our national rights before the world and of disproving the calunnies and falsehoods which Eng land is ever seeking to spread abroad about us. She assures the world that the Irish people are incapable of self government and that they are really con- tent with her rule.
 The delegations from all liberty loving countries who will come next year to take part with us in the great national pilgrimage which we are organizing to vist all the battlefields of 179S, where the loyal Irish peasants, armed only with their courage and their love of our na- tive land fought against the regular troops of England and were not subdued until England had concentrated 10000 soldiers in Ireland-these foreigners will see in the thousands and thousands of exiled Irish who will return to do honor to the heroes and martyrs of liberty that the Irish race, no matter what the po- l htical dssensions of their leaders, are united, and that the whole race is de- | termined to be free and are only waiting
 a favorable opportunity of becoming so | in fact.

The best remedy in the world is not too
much for anyone to insist on getting.
Everyone. whether sick or well must know
the immense good Paine's celery COM
pound has done and is doing tired, half
sick, sleepless men and women all over the
country.
The vague, half-hearted attempt so
many people make to get rid of poor health
is pitiable. Rheumatism headaches, neu-
ralgia, kidney troubles, skin diseases and
dyspepsia may be wholly exterminated
from the system, never to bother one
again, if one will but cleanse the blood
and regulate the nerves with Paine's Gel
cry compound.
Get out of dependency, the "blues," or
whatever name you give to these attacks
of nervous depression. Don't NOPE around
half sick. Persons who think that they
are fairly well and "only little tired
need just the toning up and refreshing
that Paine's celery compound undou bted-
ly gives Nothing could be more suicidal
than for sickly men and women to shut
their eyes to the great opportunities of
fered by Paine's celery compound. No
remedy ever called forth such vigorous
testimonials and decided opinions from
every class OF men and women.

KILLED HIS WIFE.
Then John F. Boynton Put an
End to His Own Life.

Family Troubles Thought to lie the
Cause OF Boynton's Terrible Act - He
Was Treated For Insanity Some Years
Ago-FistS, Axe and Revolver Figured
as Weapons In the Affair.
Leominster, Mass, Oct. 11.-John f.
Boynton, a well-known resident of this
place, shot and killed his wife this morn
ing and then committed suicide by
shooting. Family troubles are believed
to have been the cause of the act, al
tbs ugh several years ago Boynton was
thought to be mildly insane. He was
6S years of age and his wife was 81.
Mr.. Boynton and his wife had a dis
pute about some minor matter early this
morning, which eliminated in the TRACE
dy. Miss Annie Monogram, a dress
maker, who lives in the Boynton house,
heard loud words in their chamber early
this morning and then heard Mrs. Boyn-
ton run down starts, with her husband
chasing her. In a moment Mrs. Boynton
was heard to scream for help from a
small chamber which was occupied by
one of her sons on the floor below.
Miss Monogram ran to her assistance,
and found Mr.. Boynton holding his wife
on the floor and pounding her head with
his fists. Miss Mongovan ran to neigh
boris house for assistance, and, just as
she emerged from the Boynton home, she
heard two pistols shots, followed in
stantly by two more.
When she returned to the house, in
company with several nieghbors, Mrs.
Rnu0tnn lIin he Of
the room, her head and face a mass of
bruises and two bullet wounds in her
forehead. She lay in a pool of blood,
fully dressed.
Her husband was lying on the bed, his
forehead likewise pierced by two bull
let's. and the revolver, which was a 90
calibre, was resting upon his breast
Near the bed was an axe, which he had
evidently used upon his wife before
shooting.
The Boynton's have, from time to time,
lived apart, due, it is thought, to his
treatment of Mrs. Boynton. Although
Mr.. Boynton was not drinking man, he
was not held in high repute by the
townspeople. His wife, however, was
highly respected and was spoken of as
an estimable woman. The couple have
four sons, grown up, three of whom lived
at home.
The family has lived in Leominster for
several years. About six years ago Mr.
Boynton was committed to an asylum
for treatment for mild form of insan-
ity. He was discharged in about four
months, apparently cured, but during
the past five weeks he has again attract
ed attention by his peculiar hallucina-
tons and strange talk.
