John Kenyon looked at Miss Long
worth with smile. "You are very in
genious, Miss Longworth, but can see,
In spite of your way of putting it, that
what you propose is merely form of
charity. Suppose we did not succeed in
forming our company, how could we re-
pay you the money!"
"You would not need to repay the
money. would take that risk. II is,
in way, sort of speculation. If you
form the company, then shall expect
very large reward for furnishing the
funds. 1t is purely selfishness on my
part. believe have a head for busi-
ness. Women in this country do not get
such chances of developing their busi-

America. In that country there are
women who have made fortunes for
themselves. believe in your mine, and
l believe you will succeed in forming
your company. If you, or if Mr.. Went
worth, were capitalists, of course, there
would be no need of my assistance. If
l were alone l could not form COM
pany. You and Mr.. Wentworth can do
what l cannot do. You can appear before
the public and attend to all prelimi-
naries. On the other hand l believe l
can do what neither of you can do; that
is, l can supply certain amount of
money each week to pay the expenses

said this, she bent over toward John
Kenyon and spoke in lower tone of
voice. "Please do not tell him so, be-

Kenyon, dolefully.
"Please do not. By the way, wish

A RACE WITH DEATH.

Futile Attempt of a Boston Millionaire to
Reach the Bedside of His Wife Before
She Breathed Her Last.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Robert Treat
Paine, the well-known Boston million
aire and philanthropist, passed through
this city Wednesday morning on fast
train specially chartered, en- route
from Washington to Boston, where his
wife, when the train started, lay dying
The train on which he travelled was
composed of an engine and one car
furnished by the Philadelphia, Will.
mington & Baltimore road. The train
met him at Manassas, Va, and it is
said, according to the terms of his
agreement with the railroad company,
he was to pay big bonus for every
minute chopped off the record. The
run between Washington and Green's
ferry, Philadelphia, was covered in 1872
minutes, and the run of "a miles from
Perrysville to Wilmington was made in
80 minutes.
Mr. Paine arrived in Jersey City at
LOS a. m. He crossed the ferry to this
city, where carriage was in waiting,
and he was whirled away to the Grand
Central station. He reached there at
1925 a, m, and special train, which
was in waiting to take him to Boston,
started two minutes later, orders being
given to the engineer to try and beat
the record. New Haven was reached
at 1854 a. M, and Boston at a. m., the
run having been made five minutes
faster than the limited express time.
The cost of the service between New
York and Boston was $500. Mr.. Paine's
trip was all in vain, for Mrs. Paine died
Tuesday night. The impatient traveller
received the telegram while his special
was speeding through Wilmington,
Del, but he kept on and reached his
home as speedily as steam could carry

EvANsvILLR = 1.-THE

train, southbound from Chicago, wal
wrecked Wednesday morning at 1873
o'clock at point one mile south d
Hazleton, Ind, and 81 miles north
Evansville, on the Evansville & TekS
Haute road. Five men were killed and
swo seriously injured, as follows:
The killed-Herbert Allen, of this city. head
?anitor OF the state house, caught In the smok-
ing car and drowned.
Joseph Boleman. of Evansville. locomotive
fireman.
John Sears, of Terre Haute, conductor.
Two unknown men.
1n)ured-Brakeman Haueisen, OF this city.
y. b. Henderson, brother OF ex-State Auditor
henderson. Both are seriously injured but
tney Will recover. They are at house near
the scene Of the wreck
The accident was the result of the
heavy rains in southern Indiana since
Saturday. White river near Hazleton
oT-erfowed and the back water washed
out fill on which the Evansville &
Ierre Haute roads tracks are laid. All
trains were running on slow orders, as
the road bed was known to be in bad
condition. When the cannon ball"
train reached the fill the embankment
suddenly gave way and the engine,
baggage car and part of the smoker
dropped into about six feet of water
The engine turned over, but the bag
gage car remained upright. The
smoker hung over the end of the track.
The sleeper remained on the track.
Engineer John McCutchan escaped
death by jumping, but his fireman,
Boleman, was caught in the cab and
drowned. Conductor Sears, Brakeman
Baldwin, Mr.. Allen and the two un.
known men were in the smoker. Hau-
eisen was near the door. When the
baggage car went down the jar threw
him against seat, injuring one of his
legs. He crawled out of the door and
swan a considerable distance to reach
land. Mr.. Henderson was injured by
being thrown against seat. Wreck
ing trains were Immediately sent to
the scene.
The trains were all on slow orders
and this one was furnished with an
electric headlight. The engineer could
have seen any break ahead of him had
it shown on the track. The accident
was as If man were driving over a
street with sewer under it and the
street suddenly let down under him
and his vehicle.
The damage to the road beds of the
Evansville g. Terre Haute and the
Evansville & indianapolis by the recent
rains and floods to date is estimated at
$1,000 OOO
The action of the Evansville & Terre
Haute officials in attempting to sup
press all news of the wreck is severely
condemned on all sides. Twelve hours
after the accident they refused to ad-
NIT that more than two persons were
killed, although confronted with a
verified list of five. 1t is possible that
more were killed.

CRIBBING AT HARVARD.
1t is no Longer Winked at by the In
StructOrS.

The faculty of Harvard university
has announced its intention to separate
| the college students handing in writ
ten work not their own, and to post
their names on the college bulletin
board, says Harper's Weekly. The Of
Tense thus to be dealt with is Familiarity
known as 'cribbing" The Harvard
faculty has determined and announced
that it is dishOnOrable and merits pub
lie expulsion. The conclusion thus
reached is somewhat revolutionary and
the action taken has only been taken
with reluctance and after solemn
thought and full discussion. In old
times at Harvard, as in most other
colleges where what is known as the
honor system" in examinations does
not prevail, cribbing was not regarded
as dishonOrable though it's expediency
has always been freely questioned, even
by the patrons Of the practice. 1t used
to be the custom, when written examin-
ations we're he'd, to garrison the ex-
animation rooms with proctors, who
patrolled the aisles and made it their
business to restrain as far as possible
the propensity Of the examined to
cheat. The result was that it was re-
garded as a fair game to beat the ex-
aminers and students of honorable
character often used what furtiye aids
they might to exc out their hating
scholarship. Only when the examina-
tons were in some degree competitive,
as where students were trying for high
rank or for scholarships, was cribbing
felt to involve dishonor. But condi-
tions are declared to have changed at
The relations between in
structors and students are more fam
liar than they used to be and the
majority of The students are believed
to take their work more seriously than
they once did and to look upon their |
instructors more as fountains of in
formation and less as a hindrance to /
ease. The faculty feels that there are /
certain childish things that ought to .
be put away from Harvard forever,
and cribbing is one of them. Hence .
this severe penalty for an offense
which, it seems, is still very prevalent
among the more frivolous undergrad
yates.
