COSMOPOLITAN UNIVERSITY.
John B. Walker and Dr.. Andrews
Have Prepared the Phans for
the New College.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 3.-John
Brisbane Walker, the Inauguration Of the
new Cosmopolitan University, said that
DR.. Andrews had a long conference with
him to-day, during which the prospectus
for the new project was gone over and
ca reiully prepared.
From Mr.. Walkers remarks nothing
else could be inferred but that DR.. An
drews had assumed complete control oil
the Cosmopolitan University and that he
would establish his headquarters at Provi-
dence.
Late this evening when seen by repre-
sentative of the Associated Press DR.. An
drews gave out the following:
The work 10 be done by tn new cor
poration is in the nature of the university
extension already begun by own Uni
versity, so that the head OF the Brown
University might be the same person who
had charge of the new work.
There would in the nature OF the case
be nothing incongruous in such union
as appears in the fact that President Har-
per of Chicago University is also collegi-
ate principal OF the Chautaudua Univer-
sity. Yet | do not myself so deem that
sort OF union in the present case ad-
visable or likely 10 give satisfaction. II
resorted to it will be only device to tide
over a temporary difficulty. Either the
old enterprise or the new one may itself
sufficiently tax the energies of any one
man.
lk"Just what permanent settlement will
be arrived at am not in a position to
state. It is hoped that it will be the one
best calculated to further the cause OF
education"
When asked whether he would with.
draw his resignation from Brown Uni
versity. the doctor lid he could not state
positively what be would do until he con-
suited the trustees and fellows OF Brown
University.

CAUSED LITTLE SURPRISE,
Wards Acoualntances at Los Ange-
les Knew That He Had Be-
come Dennented


LOS ANGELES, CAL. Sept 3.-The
news OF the suicide of w. Russell Ward,
who gained notoriety by his indlscreet at
tentions to and final elopement with the
wife of John Bradbury, the young million
aire of Los Angeles, was not altogether a
surprise to his most intimate friends of
this city.
From inquiries this afternoon among
his friends it appears that he was men,
tally unbalanced when he jumped from
the train and was killed, as evinced by
telegram which he sent yesterday to John
t. Gaffev. the husband of Mrs. Wards
sister. The telegram, which was sent
from Columbus. Nebr., having been dis
patched when the train which was bear
ing him East stopped there, clearly
showed that he was in a respondent
mood and terrible state of mind. 1t reads
as follows: IAN liable to be rearrested
at Chicago. Sc Mrs. Brad bury. Will re-
turn when wanted. Must see my wife
and children first"
The receipt OF this incoh erent telegram
caused Wards friends much anxiety, and
while they were not altogether prepared
for the news OF the tragedy, they were not
entirely surprised when it was made pub
lie. II has been known for some time
that Ward has been drinking to excess
and was on the verge of collapse.
Among the gossip-lo wing public Wards
death was great surprise, aud the cir
cumstances of the recent scandal were
again freely discussed. But many were
charitable enough to express a word OF
sympathy for Ward and the many per-
sons affected by the recent social scandal
1t is said that Mr.. and Mrs. Bradbury are
at present at the Taio mines near Mazat.

attendance was good and the weather
pleasant. The second heat of the pacing
race, which was won easily by Searchllght,
was the fastest heat paced or trotted this
year on any track in California. Last year
Agitato, three-year- -old, had record OF
2:9I on the Woodland track. Search
light, who is also three-year-old, equaled
that mark this year during the Montana
circuit, and the track was considered two
seconds slow.
Searchlight made the mile in this heat
in 2:10. and competent and conservative
horsemen say that the track to-day. owing
to temporary conditions, was two SECONDS
slow, while keating eased up his horse on
rounding the upper turn. Under these
circumstances the heat must be regarded
as very fast. In the third heat Keating
sen. Searchlight for record and the rest
of the bunch merely trailed around the
course. Searchlight was piloted to the
quarter in :3212, to the half in 1:04L, to
the three-quarters in :37, and to the wire
in 2:094 Our Bow was second. Bardroe

WARDS MENTAL COLLAPSE

After the departure of Mrs. Bradbury
from this City Ward acted queeriy. One
of his friends was heard TO express him

clubs that the man was showing signs of
mental collapse. During the pendency of
his case in the Police Court Ward had be-
come 'freakish." 1t may be that the fear
of punis shment distressed him, or else the
notoriety of the eiopement worried him.

nandez. on the other side Of South America,
is Robinson Crusoe's island. Crusoe's island
is in reality Tobago, the more southerly of
the windward group of British West Indian
islands. 1t is twenty miles northeast from
Trinidad, and is twenty-six miles long and
seven and one-half at its greatest breadth.
Today it has a capital, scarborough, with
near 1000 inhabitants.
Tobago is not wanting in a legend of a
castaway. an original Of Robinson Crusoe,
for in the History of Tobago," by Chief JUS
tice Woodcock, we find an account of a SOL
itary Freuchman who said he had lived there
alone twenty-one years.
Two men have at different times lived for
years quite alone on the island of Juan Fer
nandez, off the coast of Chilli. One was an
Indian who was left there in 1851, and res
cued in 1854, whose adventures the bucca-
neer, Captain Dampier, describes in his New
Voyage Round the World" The other was
the celebrated Alexander Selkirk, who was
found by Captain Woodes Rogers, and by
him taken from the island in 1903, after a
solitary life of four years and four months.
After Seltirk's arrival in London he wa
much written up and talked Of. His expert
ences inspired Cooper when he wrote his
beautiful verses beginning, Il am monarch
Of all | survey" Defoeis Robinson Crusoe
enjoyed adventures that bear a striking re-
semblance to both the Indians and Scotch
mans experiences as detailed by their res
cuers. With Selkirk Crusoe has been espe-
cially identified, and q late ingenious writer
of the life OF Defoe even relates the legend
of a visit of the true-born Englishman to
Selkirk at Bath.

The Chicago Chronicle tells OF a religious
little boy OF Chicago who never goes to
sleep without praying that his soul may
be kept throughout the long watches of the
night. The other evening, however, he be-
came a little mixed about bedtime. When in
his snow-white gown he made a movement
toward the little col, but was reminded
that he had forgotten to say his evening
prayer. He quickly knelt at his mothers
side, and. laying his small head upon his
folded hands, began:s
s"Now / lay me down to sleep,

he sat. fell on his unheeding ear, and he
wished his task were done, so that he might
