EXERCISE.

TFrom the Chicago Herald1
Nine Pote has given some advice to
women who take physical exercise. It
is not bad advice, either.
She believes that all women should
develop their muscles, but that the end
sought should be symmetrical develop
ment. She says. therefore: "Exer-
else without apparatus; apparatus al
ways creates muscular deformity.
without it you can get an evenly de-
veloped form and all the exercise you
Eeed.'
For example, it would not be pleasant
to see a lady at a ball with 6 low neck
and short sleeves and biceps like San
dOW's.
BY the way, the bicycle keeps all the
world in the fresh air. and gives
all the world a good appetite. The doc

John Waters was soon lost to view.
After a while the knights were parad-

John Waters comfortably seated in a
floral carriage among four beautiful
young ladies'. He smiled and bowed.
But before he knew it, Charles Holli-
day, DR.. Ashton, June Moore and a few
others had grabbed him by his feet and

FIRE EATS THE CORE
Out Of the Town of Bainbridge,
Ohio.

Chillicothe, O., Sept 24.-The village
of cambridge was the scene of one of
the most disastrous confiagrations yes
terday afternoon that ever occurred in
this country.
An entire square, containing most of
the business houses, several handsome
residences and the Methodist church,
was entirely destroyed and two promi-
nent business men lost their lives in
an explosion which occurred in the
drug store of w. P. Beardsley.
The fire was started in a barn in the
rear of PERIL Browns general store by
two little boys, who were playing with
lighted matches.
Beardsley's drug store, adjoining, was
next ablaze, and with the limited
means at hand for fighting fire, it pass

In the midst of the commotion a ter
rible explosion occurred in the drug
store, and Mr.. Beardsley, who was in
side endeavoring to save some of his
property lost his life in the ruins. His
brother-in-law, Thomas Higgins, VINO
went to his rescue, was unable to get
out and burned to death, while several
others were more or less injured, but
not fatally.
Getting a fresh start from the burn
ing of oils and chemicals in the wreck

house to house until it was evident that
the entire town was doomed
A message was sent to Waverly ana

The best that could be done was TO
prevent the fire from being communi-

were left standing on the square in
which the fire originated, both being

The estimated loss is $50 900.

there was one man on the back row
that wore glasses, and he paid no at

men in the house. But there was one
man on the jury, a farmer, who follow

eyes would fill with tears, he would fol-
low suit and I believe if [ Ihad crawl

with me.
But when the jury retired, the man
with glasses who did not look at me
when L was talking, said: There is no

WORD FROM CORNELL.
Her President Says What He Thinks
of Brown and DR.. Andrews.

Ithaca, n. Y. Sept Am the course of
his annual address to the students of
Cornell university, President J. G. Shur-
mann made some references which have
been accepted as applying to the recent
troubles of President E. Benjamin An
drews and the corporation of Brown uni
Versity.
Cornell observed Mr. Shurmann. ''rec-
ognizes that the majority may be wrong
and that the minority may be right.
Therefore, absolute freedom is the soul
of that institution. Brice called our ma
jority rule system fataIism of the multi
tude.NWe believe here that one man with
Gods truth is a majority, and every
teacher is expected to do what Socrates
did, although he outraged AthenianS and
suffered martyrdom for it, to communi-
cate to others his own belief and con-
victions or else to answer to a charge of
sacrilege. 1 believe the institutions
sooner than a single professor should be
coerced.
Teachers should be free to investigate
and to announce and proclaim what they
have discovered. They must be free to
present both sides of a question. The
teacher is not the representative of
corporation the people. but a repre-
sentative of the God of truth.
while money is a necessity to any
university, it is not SO paramount to the
freedom of a teaching staff Better that
the university be wiped out of existence
than that the truth be suppressed The
end of a university is propagation of
truth Any pretensiOns of a corporation
to set limits teaching staff must be
resisted absolutely unWarranted.''
