Henry, wealthy and prominent wo-
man, at her home in Clifton, was
made this morning by Lindsay Neigh
bert, gardener, whom she had re-
Gently discharged. While Mrs. Henry
was at breakfast alone Neighbert sud-
denly entered the room and began fir
ing. A servant came to her assistance
and bravely seized the assassin after
he had fired two shots. She managed
to get him out of the room, and he fed
to the woods, where an hour or two
later he was found dead with a bullet
through his head. Mrs Henry's life
was saved by the bravery of Delsine
Barrett, who actually overpowered
Neighbert. Mrs. Henry's wounds are
in the arm and are not regarded as
serious. Neighbert had been suspected
of theft and was discharged last week,
the day after the marriage of Miss
Henry to Mr.. E. o. Mccormick, of the
Big Four, because a number of articles
were missing at that time. He was
fifty years old.

AS soon MS the warm weather begins
gnats. poisonous flies and mosquitoes
make life a burden. The stories told
of the numbers and voraciousness OF
the native mosquitoes are almost In
credible. Lieut.. Schwatka states in his
report of n voyage down the Yukon
that he has seen mosquitoes In such
numbers as to cloud the sun and OBJ
struct the vision. Dogs and game have
been killed by the bites OF mosquitoes;
even the huge black bear is not eN-
empt from the pest as the continual
bites produce Inflammation of the eyes,
causing blindness. Judging from re-
ports an asbestos mosquito net should
be in the outfit of every miner. Min
ing operations cannot begin until the
ice melts. from June LIST to the 10Th.
About the middle of September the sun
drops so low that ice soon forms and
active operations must be discontinued
until the following season. The season
is short. yet from June 10 until Aug. 1
the sun shines twenty-five hours out Of
the twenty-four. and during the re-
naming two hours work can be done.
Accordingly when n rich claim is found
two or three sets OF men are employed
and work goes on continually.
The Yukon country is no place for a
man without money Every man who
goes there must expect to work and
work hard. No credit is given on a
mans face. That day Is gone. Mr.
Mitchell says that before men make
a rush from Michigan to the Klondyke
gold fields, 1t would be well to remem-
Der that while miners make from SIS
to $50 a day. it is at the most for only
about sixty days, and provisions are
about so cents an ounce; that there are
1000 men existing in about 100 log
huts, and thousands more were ex-
pected during the spring and summer
and that the mails are most infrequent,
and uncertain. Gold is there in abun-
dance to be sure but the difficulty in

There are a few striking facts about
the small American college" writes Ed
ward w. Box in the Ladies' Home
Journal. One striking fact is that 60
per cent Of the brainiest Americans who
have risen to prominence and success
are graduates of colleges whose names
are scarcely known outside of their own
states. 1t is fact also, that during
the past ten years the majority of the
new and best methods of learning have
omanated from the smaller col
leges. and have been adopted
later by the larger ones. Be
cause college happens to be I'M
known two hundred miles from the
place of its location does not always
mean that the college is not worthy of
wider repute, The fact can not be dis
puted that the most direct teaching, and
necessarily the teaching most produc-
tive of good results, Is being done in
the smaller American colleges. The
names OF these colleges may not be IA
miliar to the majority of people, but
that makes them none the less worthy
places OF learning. The larger colleges
are unquestionably good. But there
are smaller colleges just as good and,
in some respects. better. Some OF the
finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu-
lions of learning. Young girls or
young men who are being educated at
one of the smaller colleges need never
feel that the fact of the college being 4
small one places them at disadvan-
tage in comparison with the friend or
companion who has been sent to lar
ger and better known college. 1t is not
the college; it is the student"
