Strange Dreams I'm Five Months
Sleep of Mrs. HaveHs.
Wyoming. H., Oct. 3.-Mrs Rosalie p.
Havens cannot realize that she has been
sleeping without a break for nearly five
months. She has been told all about
the war with Spain, but it seems like a
dream to her. as she has been dreaming
of other things.
While her body was lying in her little
cottage in Wyoming Mrs. Havens says
that her body journeyed through space
She Travelled with strange, prehistoric
people. Led by a patriarch, she, in COM
pany with thousands of Others fled from
an accursed island, travelling north from
fertile plains until they reached the
snow-clad mountains, then on through
peaceful valleys, and out into the limit
less expanse of ice fields.
While the intense heat of summer
beat in through the windows of the lit
tie cottage, the spirit of Mrs. Havens,
according to her story, was fastening
across ice fields of Greenland, down
through Alaska still further down
through British Columbia, until the lead
er bade the remnant of his people halt
in the valleys, surrounded by great rang
ee of mountains, and build up new
homes. But strange tribes came and de-
stroyed their homes and drove them back
into the mountains, and the spirit of
Mrs. Haven hastened back to Wyoming
and found lodgment In its former habita-

New Year Mt Annapolis

Annapolis, Md. Oct 3.-The fifty-fourth
academic year of the Naval Academy be-
gan Saturday. Roll call disclosed the
presence of the full roster of $50 cadets.
There have been many changes in the list
of officers at the academy, owing to the
detachment of many to active sea duty
during the war. The first day of October
falling on Saturday, the real opening reci-
tations. etc, will take place today. Cadet
D. o. Bingham, of Talladoga. Ala, six
teen years old, is said to be the smallest
cadet in stature ever admitted to the
academy. He is an inch or so below the
standard set by the regulations, but owing
TO his excellent showing at his mental ex-
animation the Navy Department waived
the height requirement. Have you seen
the KIDD was query frequently heard
about the grounds and in quarters dur
ing the day. Bingham was apparently OBJ
livious to the sensation his presence Gre
ated, and will doubtless be able to take
care of himself.

a CATHOLIC ORDER TROUBLED.
A Serious Crisis Facing the Ameri-
can Christian Brofhers

New York, Sept. 3--In the ranks of the
religious order known as the Christian
Brothers, from-which are drawn many
male teachers in Catholic schools and
colleges, a grave crisis has arisen, which
may revolutionize its character. The
cause Of this is the leaven of American
ideas and educational progress working
against the conservatism of old country
tradition.
The order was founded in France, in
1854, by John Baptist de La Sale He
was a canon in the Cathedral at Rheims.
The neglected state of the children of the
poor aroused his pity, and he established
the Christian Brothers to conduct schools
for them. The brothers are all lay
men, living in community, according to
the rules of life g laid down by de La
Sale.
In order that they might never lose
sight of the primary intention he had in
founding the order, that of providing
teachers for the free elementary schools
OF the poor. he forbade them TO study or
TO teach Latin or the classics.
Just here comes the difficulty. The head
authorities OF the order live in Paris For
some time there has been an agitation,
with its source in this country, TO have
this fundamental rule changed. The
i
study Latin they will quit the order and
become priests. and the schools will con-
sequently lose their instructors.
American brothers answer that if the
members do not learn Latin and the clas-
sizes the students will not come TO their
colleges and academies, and they will have
TO close for want of support. The ques-
tion is TO be considered in Paris, whittier
Brother Paulian and Brother Justin, two
OF the best-known American members of
the order, went last week to advocate the
new idea
Christian brothers came TO the United
States from France in 1876 establishing
their first house in Baltimore, Nd They
have since spread all over the country,
and now they have four provinces or
general divisions in the United States,
with headquarters in New York, Balti-
more, St Louis and San Francisco. In
these provinces there are 1,034 brothers,
Teaching .. .707 boys in the various col
leges, academies and parochial schools
under their charge.
In this city the brothers manage Man
haitian College, the De La Sale Institute
and the boys department in seventeen
of the parochial schools. The provincial
or superior lives at their house in ANA
walk, Westchester County, where the
normal school of the order is also sit
uated- The brothers besides the paro-
chiai schools have supervision at the
great Catholic Protectory, in Westches-
ter, Of the boys trades schools and other
departments.

KILLS HIS INSANE BROTHER.
Thompson Says He Had to Shoot to
Save Himself and Mother.

Shenandoah, Pa. Oct. IA tragedy was
enacted at Mahanoy Plane yesterday af-

sane man, was shot and instantly killed
by bis brother Thomas.
Tie insane man was chasing his mother
about the dining-room, with a dirk in
each hand, when her son Thomas ap-
peared upon the scene and intercepted
the assailant. Michael turned upon his
brother, who pushed a table between
himself and the enraged man and then
drew a revolver.
Michael made repeated lunges over the
table with the knives, and finally Thomas
shot him in the right leg supposing the
shot would frighten the assailant, but it
seemed to still more enrage him and he
became more desperate in his lunges.
Thomas then shot his brother in the right
wrist and again in the right chest. Mich
ael jumped upon the table, when Thomas
shot him in the center of the forehead
causing instant death
The mother was Mortified and helpless
witness to the killing.
Thomas promptly surrendered himself
to the officers and is in jail.
