Gated this morning with special SER

FUNNY COLLEGE BOYS.
They Disturb Glass Day Exercises
with Queer Antic.

Beaver Falls, May 27.-This was class
day at Geneva college, and notwith-
standing that many visitors were pres
ent, including ministers and elders,
Whc are delegates to the synod, the
students became quite boisterous and
some lively scenes were enacted.
When the chapel doors were opened
q dummy" was found suspended from
the calling, but this was removed be-
fore the performance commenced. Dur
ing parts of the performance per-
feet pendemonium reigned, the speak,
ers' voices being drowned with whist
ling, cat calls, etc. There was at least
bushel of beans on the platform, with
cabbages and onions, all being thrown
from the gallery at the luckless per-
formers who CHANGED to say a word
which failed to meet with the ap-
proval OF the younger students.
While the show was in progress, a
second dummy" was hoisted from the
ground on the outside of the building
into the gallery, and by means of a
rope suspended over the heads of the
audience in the lower hail. During the
playing of the orchestra, a string was
manipulated to cause the figure to
dance in most grotesque fashion, greet
ed with shouts of laughter. The dano-
Ing was continued too long, however,
as the figure shook it's pantaloons loose
from the coat and a shower of sawdust
and shavings fell upon the people be-
low.
The seniors took their guying in a
good natured way and there were no
personal encounters. 1t is intimated
that the show this afternoon may put
a quietus to class days in Geneva for
the future

MET HIM WITH A REVOLVER.
Carlo Martini Kills the ManWho Made
an Appointment with His Wife.

New Orleans, May T.-Another Ital-
ian murder growing out of the elope-
ment of a wife occurred near here to-
day, but this time ii was the husband
who did the killing. Otherwise the
murder was very much like the De-
lielo one of Sunday. Carlo Martini or,
as he has Anglicized his name, Charles
Martin, married in Italy some six years
ago. The wife was only Is years old
at the time and claims that the mar
riage was forced on her. Martini being
well to do, she married him, however,
under orders from her parents, and
gave up Vincenzo Sirchia, her school
mate and sweetheart. A few months
ago Vincenzo came to THIS country
having grown into a handsome young
man. He visited Plaquemines and there
he found his old sweetheart.
When the husband visited New Or
leans VincenZo persuaded Mrs. Martin
to elope with him, and, taking SO, 900 of
her husbands money, she started for
New York. The husband acted quick
ly. AS soon as he heard of the elope-
ment he sent kilograms and caught the
! couple at Monroe, La, where they were
arrested When Martin got there his
wife declared that she had eloped in a
fit of temporary insanity, expressed
penitence and agreed to return to him.
Yesterday she received a letter from
Vincenzo telling her he would reach
Plaquemdne this morning and to meet
him at the depot. The husband filled
the appointment instead. AS the train
reached the depot he sprang upon the
cars, walked up the aisle where Vim
| cenzo was seated, and shot at him three
| times. The young man fell to the
| floor, when Martin placed the pistol
close to the head of the PROSTATE man
| and killed him.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street. Review.

New York, May 27.-The market was
quite strong for a time today, but the
rather sensational slump in the rub
Der shares and the large selling in Bal
timore and Ohio put a stop to the rise
and also the activity of the trading.
The volume of the dealings In all stocks
for the three hours of trading afternoon
was only about third OF that for
the two hours before noon. The lack
OF confidence in the stability of values
on the part of the professional traders,
who still control the market, almost
altogether was Illustrated by the
promptitude with which they proceeded
to take profits on rather slight provo
cation. The total sales of stocks to-
day we're 1858 shares.

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nlne-tenths OF all disease, yet in most
cases the wrong thing Is treated and the
true cause overlooked.
This Is because a weak digestion pro-
duces symptoms resembling nearly every
disease because IL weakens and disturbs
the action Of every nerve and organ In
the body; poor digestion causes heart
trouble, kidney troubles, lung weakness
and especially nervous braak down or
nervous prostration, the nerves cannot
stand the wear and tear unless generously
fed by we'll digested, wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one need
fear the approach of disease.
