STUDENTS BRILLIANT CAREER.
Sudden Tragic Death of AlOnzO
Frank Jack, Crack Yale Athlete,

Sudden Tragic Death Of AlOnzo
Frank Jack, Crack Yale Athlete.
News has been received of the death
in Phoenix, A. T., of Alonzo Frank Jack,
at Yale university, of Pittsburgh.
Young Jacks career at Yale was a
tragic one. He was prepared for col
lege at Phillips Exeter academy, where
he left a phen omen nal record as an ath-
lete and a student. He led his class in
prize winning in his studies, made a
remarkable record as a football player,
and in the athletic games broke all
records and won nine first prizes.
He entered Yale year ago this fall
and won the heavyweight wrestling in
the freshman rush. He gave up ath-
letics last year and devoted himself to
his studies and work in the slums. He
returned to college Last October deter
mined to earn his own way to Yale His
class called upon him ON the night Of
the freshman rush to meet Cadwallader,
the big freshman who made record as
the center rush ON the varsity event.
Jack refused to enter the bout, saying
that he did not feel very well, and an
other man was called ON to meet Cad
wallader. An hour later Jack returned
to his room ON the campus and suffered
a violent hemorrhage, from which he
never recovered.
His brothers, who reside in Pitts
burgh. came on and finally took the dy-
ing boy to Arizona. in hope of prolong-
ing his life. He was 23 years of age and
was recognized as one of the ablest
men in his class.

perts in handwriting had examined a
number of letters Mrs. Peter deter
mined to enter suit against Mr.. and
Mrs. Gather. The suit was docketed

tiers. The case was removed to Wash

Father Held His Sons Body Above
Ground Twenty Years.
The death of Seth T. Maxwell at
Heath at the age of "a and his dying
request have brought to light the fact
that the body of Park Maxwell has
been resting in casket in the wagon
shed of Alexander P. Maxwell. Of

the last 20 years. Seth T. Maxwell for
merly resided in Heath. His son died

sister, Mrs. Charles T. Barber, of Heath,
somewhat over a year ago invited him
to return to Heath and spend the re-
mainder of his life at her home. His
dying request was that the body of his

when the Creator said to woman,
"In sorrow shalt thou bring forth

but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart

IF BRYAN WAS ON DECK.

II William Jennings Bryan was on
deck now he would not be nick
named decentralization Bill"
Here is the way Bryan views the
situation:
Eyes, the time for intervention has
arrived. Humanity demands that we
shall act. Cuba lies almost within
sight Of our shores, ana the suffer-
ings of her people cannot be ignored
unless we, as a nation, have become
so engrossed in money making TO be
Indifferent to distress.
@Interveltion may be accompanied
by danger and expense, but existence
cannot be separat d from response
biity, and responsibility sometimes
leads nation, as we'll as an indiyi6-
ual, into danger. War is the only ar
bitter between nations when reason
and diplomacy are of no avail.
@Our own interests ju 4Iify interven-
ton. Spain has governed Cuba so
badly as to excite continuous revolt,
and after exciting revolt she has
shown herself poweriess to restore
order and enforce law ON the Island.
Spanish rule in Cuba has dis
turbed the United States, interfered
with business, increased the expense
OF guarding our shores and drawn
lnon tho reao11 rcna Of Onr naonla IN
care for those made destitute by war.
ave have as much right to demand
the cessation Of war in the in terest of
the people Of the United States as
Spain has to demand its contin uance
for her own benefit.
II the Cubans prefer death to
Spanish rule, it must be because
Spanish rule has robbed life Of JOY
and hope. If a nation sows wind, 1t
must reap tho whirlwind."
