ONLY HONORARY MEMBERS.
School for the Advancement of Military
Training.

ATAAuADSs
Madison, Wis, May Especial. i
There is only one school or college in
the state to which the provisions of the
act passed by the last Legislature pro-
viding for "the advancement of military
training and discipline in schools and col
leges Of this state" apply this year, this
being the ST. Johns Military academy
is to give graduates of schools where
such training is had, and who pass the
inspection by an inspecting officer APP
pointed for the purpose, the rank of
second lieutenant, a commission as such
to be issued by the governor. This
ganized militia of the state,' and the
law provides that nothing contained
therein ''shall be construed to give such
graduates any right, position or authori-
ty, nor any claim upon or emolument
from the state, other than the honorary
rank herein provided for, or the right
to wear the uniform of the Wisconsin Ma
tional guard, unless such graduate there
after become a regularly appointed COM
missioned and acting officer in the Wis
cOnsin National guard" As first intro
duced, the act gave the rank uncondi-
tionally, but this was deemed an injus-
tice to the volunteer militiamen, who are
obliged to earn their promotion by hard
work in the ranks.
The president or other principal Off
Ger of any college or school situated in
and incorporated under any law of the
state which shall maintain regular mil
itary department, and have enrolled, uni

diets. can secure the inspection and result
ant honor for graduates on application to
the governor. AS stated, it applies at
present only to the DelafeId academy.

partment, but it's members at the time

PHILADELPHIA HAS A MYSTERY.
Aged and Wealthy oman Found Dead
Stairway.

aged and wealthy oman Found Dead
Stairway.
Philadelphia, Pa, May 2O-The body
of Mrs. Amanda Hollingsworth, aged 60
years, was found Wednesday night lying
at the foot of stairway in the house of
her son, with whom she made her home,
at 1886 North Eleventh street. Mrs. Hol-
lingsworth had been missing since last
Friday and her strange disappearance
had been reported to the police. Tie
stairway where the body was found leads
from a back room of the house 10 the
second story. There is door at the foot
of the stairs which was always kept
closed and the stairs were seldom used.
The woman was quite wealthy but would
occasionally yield to a desire for strong
drink. The theory of the police, ~ well
as that of the family, is that the woman
fell down the stairs and was injured so
badly that she remained unconscious or
helpless until death ensued. The odor
from the remains led to the discovery of
the dead woman last night For four
days the family had eaten their meals
within a few feet of where the body had
been lying.
