TO PREPARE BOYS FOR SCHOOL,
Sommething Columbia Has Long stood
I'm Need OF

Sommething Columbia Has Long stood
in Need OF.
Mr.. F. +. Shoup, with an assis-
tant vet to be named, will begin
next Fall a school for the special
purpose of preparing BOYS for col
iege-mOre particularly for Sewanee
and Vanderbilt. He has permission
of the Trustees to have this school
at the Institute, though it will be
separate and apart from the young
ladies. The number to be admitted
will be limited, as the idea is not to
draw from other schools, but simply
to accommodate boys who live in or
near Columbia, and who will find 1t
less expensive and more convenient
to take this preparatory work for
University life here, than elsewhere.
Mr.. Shoup will give his students the
advantage of being classified rela-
tive to their future intentions; that
is, he will classify and teach them
with special regard to the curricu-
lum of the University they purpose
to attend, and will give them spe-
cial and extra work in studies W here
in they most need drilling; having as
many separate and individual class
es as need be to make thorough this
special feature of his school.
Such school is greatly needed
here, and we hope the parents OF
Columbia will appreciate so good an
opportunity.

yALE's GIFT TO THE NAVY.

meeting in the college street hall last
evening. at which the colors and two
Maxim guns purchased by the Yale
men for the cruiser Yale were form

form were nearly all of the leading

camp at Mantle.
These two volunteers were greeted
with great cheers by the large audi
ence that filled the hall TO overfiowing.
The entire sentiment Of the meeting
was an unequiyCcal Endorsement Of the
course Of the Government. The reso-
lutions thank the Government for
naming the cruiser after Yale.
The reports Of the committees show
ed that over IS, 600 had been subscribed
to purchase the guns Only $4,000 was
needed. but the call had been met with
an outbuTst9 Of patriotism from all
Yale men. The cOlors and the guns
are both in use on the cruiser.
The meeting ended by singing Bright

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May 1.-Mrs.
John sperie, aged forty. residing on the
Manchester road at East PoughkeeDsie,
cut the heads off her two little children
with a butcher knife at an early hour
this morning.
a month ago Mrs. sperie's husband died.
After his death she showed symptoms of

At 1:80 a. m. the mother arose and got

TALLY severed Johns head from his little
body. To complete the dreadful work,
the mother laid the body on the floor and
hacked away until the head rolled away.
1t was found eight inches from the body.
With her night robe dripping with blood
and her hands crimsoned, the crazy
mother went to the kitchen and endeav-
ed TO decapItate her ix-months-0Id baby
as she lay asleep in her cradle. The
light was so dim that the mother lifted
the child out and laid it across the pantry
sill, which she used for a chopping block.
She chopped and haggled until the head
and body were separated. the former roll

PREPARING DIXIE FOR SEA.
Spanish Spies Reported Near Nor
folk and Newport News.

Norfolk, Vas May 21.-More ammu-
milton was received on board the Dixie
Yesterday. but there is still consid-
erable quantity to come. Some of this
is expected today and the remainder
Sunday or Monday.
That received yesterday consisted
principally OF G-inch shrapnel and sa-
Iuting powdef Lieut. Blount was kept
busy in the magazines, twelve feet be-
low the water line, storing the SUP
plies.
The problem as to the time the Dixie
will put to sea is no nearer solution
than it was a month ago. She was ex-
pected to get away nearly three weeks
ago. but so many things had to b q
that it was found impossible to get her
ready. The first detachment of her
crew was sent to Norfolk almost a
month ago, and the men are anxious
to get away from this neighborhood,
as is commander Davis
From present indications it is not
| likely that the ship will leave before
the middle Of next week. as the Dixie
| is to profit by the experience of the
Yosemite and will have a part Of her
deck plated with steel. When the Yo-
semitic went to ssa a day or two ago
| her men were given some practice with
| her big guns. one of the after guns
was fired and the blast from the gun
ripped UP the deck As the DiXie's s
guns are heavier than those Of the YO-
semitic and the blast from them is con-
sderably greater. it was decided to
protect the deck with a covering of
| steel so as to prevent such an occur
renee on the Maryland boys vessel.
A number of runners about the pres
ence of Spanish spies in the neighbor-
hood of Newport News and Norfolk
| have been afloat for number of days
and a strong guard is posted in the
shipyard at all the Government mag
azines in this neighbOThood and at the
| Norfolk navy yard. No chances are be-
| ing taken anywhere.
On the Dixie every possible precau-
! ton is taken. and when the officers go
| on deck duty at night they are armed
with heavy Colt revolvers. 1t would
| go rather hard with any one found
prowling around the ship at night.

fuse clearance papers to all vessels in

them not only to refuse clearance papers

who might sell them to spaniards.
