much money recently because people in gen.
eral have supposed that it's treasury was
full. In fact, receipts and the original en-
doWment itself ave been shrinking for
some time, until now the college is in grave
peril. We know of no calamity that can
com upon Indiana Methodism like unto the
closing of that university. 1t would be an
immense discredit to all concerned. 1t
should not be. 1t need not come to pass.
There are enough Methodist dollars in In
diana to place the university right where
all supposed it was some years ago. In
diana MethodiStS owe it to themselves.
Just why our church in that State has with
drawn it's old-time interest we do not under
stand, unless it be that it's reputcd wealth
has seemed to make help and sympathy
unnecessary. We are informed that it's
change of name has had some adverse in
fiuence among those who once regarded the
institution as a monument to Bishop As
bury. If that be true. We hope that the
old debate will pass aside forever. The
change was made in all good faith. since it
was supposed that one of the conditions
would yield some millions of dollars, place
the school far above all ordinary human
contingencies and insure its customary
work for all time. 1t would seem that but
one thing now remains-a general rally of
the men and women who can do for the uni
versity all that which hey have supposed
had been done at the time to which we al
lude. Faithful men who have the enterprise
close against their hearts are trying to save
the day. 1t can be done, and it must be
done.

Scotch and French Women Said to BE
the Sweetest Speakers.
Alice Meynell, in Golfers Weekly

Alice Meyn0l, III OOitiSA . NSShly
The sweetest speakers in Europe are the
French and the Scotch. There are certain
Scotchwomen, and women on the extreme
north of the English coast, about Holy Isle
and the basaltic rocks of windy Bam-
borough, who must be the most charming
speakers in the world. because nothing
could be more charming than their voice
and accent. Their voices are pitched high
up in the scale, and have none of the harsh
ness of a deeper tone. Musical one should
not call them with Shakspeares leaye),
for the sung note and the spoken note are
two: but if they do not utter pure music,
they do utter pure tone-pure tone without
accompanying noise.
The noise that wraps round the tone-a
scraping of the chords-is most common in
English voices. Few listeners have vigilant
ears. so that not many people understand
what is meant by a scraping of the chords.
Most people think you mean h~oarseness,
which is quite another thing. IL that
rather distressing noise We're generally de-
tected. and were known also as a perfectly
evitable annoyance, 1t would Immediately
be put down. Girls would not be allowed to
begin to make it. 1t is an unnecessary evil.
1t exists in some English and in some Amer
lean voices so co~nspicuously that there Is
hardly anything else to be heard: while
others are. as conspicuously, never untuned
for d moment by any jar OF 1t. The jangle
has nothing. by the way, to do with loud

A plant that grows at the rate of nine
inches every twenty-four hours without
earth or water is a curiosity in the possess
sion of Captain S. r. Vaughn of 54 Reed
street. Captain Vaughn calls his plant a
SNAKE lily" 1t came TO him through a
friend in Cochin China, and when it first
arrived as a bulb 1t looked like a huge
Indian turnip. 1t lay during the greater
part of the winter in a dark closet, but re-
Gently it began to show signs of awaken
ing from its long steep. Mrs. Vaughn Knew
the symptoms, for the pub has been in the

Vaughn took it out of its hiding place and
set IL in an ordinary peach basket with
nothing at all about it except some news
papers. A mottled-green stalk pushed its
a out of the top of the bulb and grew at
the amazing rate above mentioned, until
now 1t has reached the hight of eight feet
one inch. and is just beginning to wilt. OF
this total height the pistil or tongue issuing
from the cup Of the lily represents four feet

tiful dark maroon color. The flower and

resulted from the haIdships and exposure ex-
perienced during the campaign. which resulted

He was member of the 10Th u. 5. Cavalry,
which participated in the memorable fights at
FL emo and on the San Juan hills and when
the armistice was proclaimed he returned to
his nStive land with his constitution broken
and his health shattered.
For nearly two months he had been under
the most careful ami skilful treatment, but
never really rallied from the nervous prostra-
ton which resulted from his Cuban experience.
His physical sUiferings lad so materially alter
ed his appearance that When ne came TO Har-
ford his nearest relatives barely recognized
him. He was about twenty-five years of ago,
and possessed many noble qualities.
His funeral took place on Monday, the in

house of Walter Brown, near Perryman, for
several weeks past, suddenly became insane
