Be One of the Judges
of the Contest.

Webster, May 5.-After the town of
southbridge has defeated Webster at
about everything in the line of sports,
It remains with the members of the
debating society of the local high
school to get back one of the lost
1aurels and honor for the town. Sprint
ing, base ball, pool, billiards, basket
ball, bowling, etc, have all gone their
way, but the high school members are
confident that the debate will not, as
they claim that Webster has much
smarter scholars than southbridge can
produce.
Consequently, members of the local
debating society challenged South
bridge high school and was accepted.
The debate which will be public, will
be held in Odd Fellows hall. Friday

surgents, is trying to lead a movement
for the independence Of the church in
the Philippines from the Spanish
priesthood. He has issued a procla-
lamation declaring himself vicar gen

troll on the Island Of Luzon, and iRcit-
ing the priests to disobey the regula-
lions of the church and brotherhoods.
The archbishop of the district has is
sued a bull communicating Agripay.
and this action has increased the feel
ing between the Filipinos and the
church.
The archbishop threatened to ex-
communicate the owners Of Spanish
papers publishing announcements Of
Protestant and Masonic meetings,
phereupon an American paper warned
him that he might be bundled out Of
the island like any disturber Of the
peace If he should incite religious ami
mostly.
Th eDominican friars have begun
the publication Of a newspaper under
the title of The Liberals for the pur-
pose of defending the brotherhood.

New York, July 23.-Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll died at he home, Waiston-on-
Hudson. near Dobb's Ferry yesterday.
His death was sudden and unexpected
and resulted from heart disease, from
which he has suffered since 1896. In
that year, during the Republican ma
tional convention he was taken i'll and
had to return home. He never fully
recovered from the attack of heart dis
ease and was under the care of phys
icians constantly. For the last three
days MI. Ingersoll has not been feel
ing we'll. Thursday night he was in
better health and spent a portion Of
the evening playing billiards with
Walston H. Brown, his son-in-laW,
and G. P. Farrell, his brother-in-law
and private secretary. He seemed to
be in better health and spirits When
he retired than he had been for sew
eral days.
Yesterday morning he rose at the
usual hour and Joined the family at
breakfast. He then said he had spent
a bad night, but felt better. He. had
been suffering from abdominal pains
and tightness about the chest. He did
not think his condition at all danger
Gus. After breakfast he telephoned to
DR.. Smith, his physician, who an
swered the bell, and told him his eX-
perience during the night. DR. Smith,
he said, told him to continue fhe use
Of nitro-glycerine and he would see
him during the day. Col. 1ngerso!l
spent the day swinging in a hammock
and sitting on the verandah with q
member Of the family. He said ne
felt relieved of his pain. At l2:5O
o'clock he started to go up stairs. On
reaching the head of the stairs Col.
Ingersoll turned into his wife's room.
Mrs. Ingersoll was there. Together
thew discussed what they would have
for luncheon, and Col. Ingersoll said
he had better not eat much owing to
the trouble with his stomach. He
seemed in good spirits then. After
talking a few minutes Col. Ingersoll
crossed the room and sat down In q
rocking chair. He leaned his head
upon his hand, which rested on the
back of his chair. Mrs. 1ngersoll
asked him how he was feeling and he
replied: ooh, better"
These were his last words. A Sec
ond after they were uttered he was
dead. The only sign noticed by Mrs.
Ingersoll was that the whites of his
ewes suddenly showed. There was
not even a sigh or groan as death
came. Doctors were hastily called,
but their verdict was that death had
come instantly. So
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral, but it will probably
take place on Monday at the house,
and the interment will be in Sleepy
Hollow cemetery at Tarrytown.

sents the Cuban Republican league,
and his mission to Washington is to
explain to the president the aspira-
lions and purposes Of the league. The
league desires the complete political
independence Of the island at the
earliest possible moment. Its aim,
however, at present, is to secure au-
thority for holding conventions and
elections for municipal officers and by
demonstrating their capacity for hold
ing elections and for local self-govern-
ment by preparing the way for COM
plete control Of the island. They de-
sire the authority for the municipal
elections early this fall.
