VICAR OF WAKEFIELD DISCUSSED.
University Extension Glass Criticised
GOIdsmith's Story.

GOldsmith's Story.
The University Extension Circle met at
the Chatham Academy yesterday after
noon for its discussion of English authors
and their works The meeting was pre-
sided over by Mrs George Barnum, class
leader
The authors announced for discussion at
the meeting were Goldsmith and Sterne.
Selections from sterne's "Trlstram
shandy" were read and commented on at
some length. A general discussion of the
works of Goldsmith followed, and was
participated in by many of the members
of the class.
, The topic of principal interest and most
extensive debate was "Goldsmnhs Vicar
of Wakefield" over this production the
members of the class did not greatly en-
thuse, critcising it for Its lack of unity,
plot and live, human interest. The beauty
of the lyrics 1t includes was conceded and
admired, and some of the descriptions of
the quiet and uneventful life of the coun-
try clergyman received high praise. The
discussion was spirited and was particl-
pated in by Mrs Solomons, Miss Judge
and Miss Kayton. 1t was the conceusus
of opinion that the story. as a story, was
failure. EHD
At the conclusion of the literary part of
the meeting, the selection of leader for
the class to serve during the present
month was taken up, and Mrs. L. G.
Young was unanimously elected. The
leaders of the class are now elected month
Nv. and the term of Mrs. Barnum, who has
made a most admirable conductor, expired
with the meeting yesterday. The sessions
of the class are held weekly.

REGIMENTS WILL DE PAID.
Money for March Will BE Received
Before Being Mustered Out.

beIOFe betuB hustCFeu Out'
Some of the volunteer regiments en-
camped near Savannah are to be paid for
the month of March before the day for
their muster out of the service. 1t is pos
sble that all may be paid but informa-
ton as to that point could not be secured.
1t was ascertained that the Second Louisi-
ana and the Fourth Virginia are to be
paid without fail.
II is said the Fourth may get its money
to-day. Col. G. w. Taylor is reported to
have wired the department at Washington
asking that the regiment be paid for
March before it is mustered out of the
service.
All the soldiers and all the merchants
win appreciate it If the regiment are paid
off before being discharged. None of the
soldiers have much money at this time,
as 1t has been nearly a month since they
were last paid off.

New York, May 29-While throng Of
young men and women were dancing in
Krobel's Floral Park, at North Bergen, at
o'clock Sunday morning, Jasper Everson,
Of 343 New York Avenue, Jersey City, was
struck and fatally injured by man known
as Mcdonald The assault, which occurred

up in confusion the early morning gayeties

died from the blow in Christ Hospital,
Jersey City, yesterday afternoon. His as
sailant is still at large.
There were about a thousand persons in
the park on Saturday night. Everson while
dancing met a stranger, whose name was
given as Mcdonald. He quarreled with
him over a girl with whom both men
wished to dance. Everson gained his
point. Later he went to the bar. drank,
and while there quarreled again with Nc
Donald.
'I don't like you," the stranger sudden
ly exclaimed, as he struck Everson on the
head with his fist. Everson fell uncon-
scious. The dancers gathered in terrified
groups. Everson, still unconscious, was
hurriedly carried away. Mcdonald ran to
the woods and eluded pursuit.

in an unconscious condition for fifteen
hours, Everson died from hemorrhage OF

death was caused by the blow, which made
a compression of the brain.

dren. He owned the house in which he
lived.

THREE OUT OF FOUR.
WashinRton's Splendid Record I'm the
Windy City

washingtOn's Splendid Record I'm the
Windy City.
Three out OF four from the Chicagos on
their home grounds would be creditable
record for the League leaders, and the
feat performed by a team that holds the
position in the race occupied by the Sem
ators is nothing short of marvellous. To
the splendid pitching of Weyhing has been
due most of the victories won by Washing
ton, and while in Chicago he added two
more to his string. Only 1000 persons saw
the last contest Of the series, an unusually
small crowd for Sunday game at Chicago.
Those who went however, saw a splendid
exhibition.
The game was won in the last inning,
after the Senators had about lost hope
of pulling the victory out of the fire. A
batting rally sent three runs across the
plate and the Chicagos were unable TO tie
in their half. Phyle pitched a good game
for the home club, and with the exception
of the last inning had the Senators well in
hand. Slagles batting and the fielding OF
Padden were the features of the Washing
tons play, while a magnificent running
catch and throw TO the plate by Green was
the event of the day. The Senators play in
Pittsburg today, and are scheduled for two
games there tomorrow, Decoration Day.

some of the latter's sponsors would only
give eight to five. At an uptown resort

Jeffries. Burgess is SO confident Of JET

PROFESSOR SUES A STUDENT.
Asks $2J.OOO for Alienation of HI,
Wife,a Affections.

Ithaca, May 29.-The suit of Prof Ed
gar Kay, of Cornell University. against
E. d. Mooers. youth of twenty and for
merly an undergraduate. for $4,000 for
alienation Of his wife's affections and as
sault, will be tried next Thursday by Su-
preme Court Justice Forbes.
1t follows a suit for divorce which Prof
Kay successfully brought against his wife
and in which young Mooers was named as
correspondent Extraordinary pressure
has been brought to bear upon Prof. Kay
by the faculty of the university to drop
the suit.
Prof. Kay came to Ithaca several years
ago with his wife. who was a pretty. vi
vacious and young woman. They lived in
a cozy cottage on 1.-The hilI' and appar-
emily were happy.
A change followed the coming Of q
young woman from Mrs. Kays former
home in st. Louis TO- study in the Con-
servatory Of Music.
1t was not long before young Mooers
and another undergraduate, the son of a
former Congressman, living at Binghamton,
began calling at the home of Prof. Kay.
was $500 a month. He is the son of F. NJ.
MOoers, formerly a drug clerk in Brook
lyn, who went to California and made mil
lions in gold mines: The Mooers make
their home in Los Angeles.
The visits of the students to the Kay
home did not make talk. nor did their
appearances In public at 6rst. because Mrs.
Kay was acting as schaperon. But when
there were champagne. dinners, followed
by long rides, there was gossip.
The Quartette planned an elopement. 1t
was about this time that the father of the
Binghamton youth came to Ithaca. A hint
of the elopement reached his ears.
On the afternoon that they were to go
away the two students with Mrs. Kay and
her guest, started out together. They
drank more or less. The former Con-
gresham was watching. Just as they were
re-entering the carriage he rushed forth,
grasped his son by the collar, and hauled
him into the hotel.
Mooers and the two young women drove
to the railroad station. There Prof. Kay
appeared. He pleaded with his wife to re-
turn home so earnestly that she left the
car with him. But once on the platform
she changed her mind and went back. The
husband followed and grasped her arm.
The evening times., 1899-05-29

Mooers confronted him and they had a
scufie. Prof. Kay was thrown onto the
platform just as the train started.
Two days later the three returned Mrs.
Kay went to her home, but her husband
would not admit her. She and the other
young woman had to seek refuge with
friends. Mooers insisted they had gone on
a very proper excursion.
Mooers did not stay in Ithaca long The
scandal caused the fiance of Mrs. Kay
friend to come to Ithaca. He was satisfied
with the explanations, for they have since
been married.
Some months ago Prof. Kay was given
decree Of absolute divorce on statutory
grounds. :.
