Nov. 80. Col. Boyd, the president
of this popular institution, inform s
US by circular that the delay occa

tages it offers to young men desiring
a thorough, modern education, along
either literary or scientific lines.

BIS FACE IS CHANGING.
An Ohio Convict Is Going Through
One of the Late II. ii. Holmes
Experiences.


Angelo del Belio, a prisoner in the
penitentiary at Columbus, o., is un-
dergoing facial changes similar TO
to those experienced by II. H. Holmes,
the Chicago fiend. The prison ply
sicians have noticed something pc
culiar about Del Bello within the last
| few weeks, though for time they be-
lieved they were under an optical IL
fusion. But repeated observations
have confirmed them in the belief that
Del BeIlos face is actually changing
form and shape. The left side of the
mans face seems to be caving in, while
the right side is bullying out, and the
mouth is gradually moving toward the
right ear. On enc side Del Bello looks
like an ordinary man. On the other
side all the meanness with which his
nature is filled comes to the surface.
Del Bello is the latest wearer of the
title ''prison demon, having complete
lily dethroned Ira Marlatt, who wore
that title for years, until sub6ued by
Warden Collins unyarying kindness.
Marlatt, however, became demon be-
cause he believed he was unjustly inn
prisoned and unjustly punished, and
he protested against this in the most
effective manner he knew. Naturally
a man of violent temper, he became a
prison terror.
Del Bello MADE his trouble from
naturally bad heart. He was convicted
of cruel and cold-blooded series OF
murders lin which respect he again
resembled Ii. II. Holmes), and from the
moment he landed in the penitentiary
sought TO make all the trouble he
with his guards followed in quick sue
cession. He was given every variety Of
punishment that the regulations OF the
prison permit, and at last announced
himself conquered and promised TO be
good. Following the usual rule with
men of this character. he was re-
leased from solitary confinement and
made TO see that he was trusted.
His reformation did not last al
though he knelt at Warden Collins feet
to promise him good conduct. Hardly
week after he was set TO light task
in the prison kitchen he made des-
perate attack upon a guard with
knife, and went back to solitary. He

as the best place for him. though no
one who has aught TO do with him be-
lieves him to be insane. Dcmoniac he
may be, but nothing else.
For the last few weeks he has been
unwell, and il is during this period that
the remarkable change in the shape
Of his head and face became apparent.
He absolutely refuses TO talk, though
he contrives almost as much deviltry
as ever, despite the fact that he is held
