Will BEGIN TUESDAY
Denison Normal School VIII Reo;r
Under Favorable Conditions.
SOME NEW TEACHERS.
Miss Grace Terry. of Chicago, Miss Abbie
Mclaughlin, of .Galesbugh and Miss
Lille Mae Lane

The fall term of Denison Normal
School will open next Tuesday and the
present indications are for very large
attendance. Already many rooms are
engaged and there are many other indi-
cations that this will be the best wear
the school has ever had. The new
teachers are expected Saturday and are
as follows: Miss Grace Terry Of Chica-
go, Miss Abbie Mclaughlin, of Gales.
burgh, ILL.,, and Miss Lille Mae Lane. &
of Lee Center, Ill.
Miss Lane needs no introduction to
the Denison people as she was here two
years ago and comes back after wear
spent in Harvard University Annex
where she has been better prepar.
ing herself for the work of oratory and
physical culture. With her experience
and training she will undoubt. div be
the best teacher that could have been
procured for the place.
The other young ladies are strangers
In Denison outcome very highly recon-
mended and will together have charge
OF the music department of the school.
Miss Terry will take the vocal work
and Miss Mclaughlin the instrumental.
1t is thought that this will be very
much more desirable than the arrange
ments of the past as it puts the teach
ers upon work that they make Especial
ty OF and can do. Miss Terry is a
vocalist herself and will add much to
the interest in vocal music by being
able to sing.
We bespeak for the new teachers a
cordial reception to the society of the
town and trust that their stay may be
pleasant and mutually profitable.

HIS SUICIDE WAS DESIRED.

der of Lieut.. Col. Henry.
CAPT. DREYFUs TO GET A NEW TRIAL.
1t Is Generally Believed That the
General Stan of the French Army
Will Follow the Example of Gen.
HoisdefYre and Tender Their Res
iEnutions.

Paris, Sept. lit is now iusinuated
thai the suicide OF Lieut.. Col. Henry,
the chief of the Intelligence depart
ment of the French ministry for war.
was connived at by the French army
authorities. In any case, the suicide
occurred shortly after the prisoner
had received visit from an officer
OF the general staff, who, on leaving,
ordered the sentry on duty before Col,
llenry's place OF confinement not to
disturb the prisoner, as he had lot
OF work to do. L is recalled that q
similar opportunity to commit suicide
was afforded to Dreyfus, who, how
ever, declined to profit by it,
1t is generally believed that the rest
OF the general staff of the French army
willfollow the example of Gen. Boisdef-
fire, the chief of staff, and of Gen.
Gonse, the under chief, and tender
their designations.
1t appears that the minister of war,
NJ. Cayaignac, is convinced that Col.
Henry had accomplices in the forgery
OF the discriminating document, and
there are persistent reports that Col.
Patty de Clam will shortly be arrest
ed, In this connection, it is reported
that the minister of justice, M. Sar-
rien, has already taken steps to grant
Dreyfus a retral
The medical examination made of
the remains of the late Col. Henry,
shows that his death was instantane-

President Faure returned to his
home at llavre Thursday afternoon.
Later in the day La Patrie an
nounced that Col. Patty du Clam had
been arrested fer completely in the
Dreyfus forgery.

NINE HUNDRED DROWN.
Three Vessels Loaded With Fleeing Span.
iards Founder

iards Founder
Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 3O.-Early in
the war Admiral Dewey captured the
Spanish gunboat Leyte asst was return
ing to Manila from one of the Philip
pine islands. The Hong Kong Daily
Press says that in connection with this
capture is another incident not pre-.
viously made public. 1t relates to the
loss of 500 Spaniards, of whom sixteen
were Catholic priests
The Leyte had been towing three
vessels loaded with Spanlards, who
were fleeing for fear of falling into the
insurgents hands and beng massacred.
These vessels were lowed down Pam.
palas river and along the coast withthe
intention of taking the passengers into
Manila or surrendering them to the
Americans. A severe storm came up
and compelled the Leyte to leave her
lows and make for Manila to secure as
sistance. While en- route there she was
captured.
American warships were sent to look
for the three vessels, but they were no.
where to be found. Inquiry among the
insurgents showed that they had not
seen the missing transports or their
passengers. There can be no doubt
that they founded with all on board.
The naval board of experts has reaf-
firmed its action in recommending the
construction of fifteen new warships
and has directed the different bureaus
in the navy department to proceed at
once with plans for the greatest project
ever undertaken in single period by
the United States. Six of these ships
will be heavily armored battle ships.
six to small protectedcruisers and three
between these extremes. The three
battle ships will exceed $4,000 tons dis
placement and have speed of 49,
knots. The cruisers willhave a speed
of % knots and coaling capacity of TO-
COO miles. This will envolye the ont.
lay of some $40,00O,00O

losses were the rule on the stock exchange
today. Sugar and Metropolitan Street Rail-

was attributable to Washington advices that
Hawaiian annexation was improbable and
Metropolitan Street Railway advanced on
talk of further extension. A disturbing ele-
ment in speculation was the grave appearance
OF the Chinese situation, with Japan mobiliz-
ing her forces and France reinforcing her
