IS A NOBLE SHIP.
Kearsage a Knot Faster
Than Was Con-
tracted.

Boston, Sept. 25.-With the splendid
average of 1854 knots to her credit,
the United States ffrst-class battleship
Kearsarge, the latest and greatest ad-
dition to our navy, ended her official
speed trial this afternoons trial sue
cessful in every detail and which for
marine picturesqueness has been I'M
equalled in our naval career. The run
over the famous Cape Ann course, in
short, came up to the expectations of
the Kearsarge's lglilders, the Newport
Ship Building & Dry Dock Company,
and delighted the official representa-
tives of the government beyond meas
ure.
Greater interest, it may be said, CEN
tered in the trial of this battleship of
honored and historic name than in any
previous trial runs of our line of battle
craft. There were many reasons for
this, chief of which was the desire to
compare the .Kearsarge type with the
lndlana and Iowa classes, both of
which so remarkably proved their
worth in the recent war.

accident yesterday forenoon at nine

from the force of the fall.

the wants of the injured man and later
telephoned for the police ambulance.
DR.. Francis Shaw responded with the
ambulance, driven by Driver Michael
Kennedy. Perkins was found to have
sustained no broken bones, but was
suffering intense agony, presumably
from internal injuries. When taken
to the hospital he was still in great pain
all the afternoon. but showed signs of
improving during the evening, and
chances are good for his ultimate ie-
covery.

He Will Have No Part in Sailing the
Shamrock.
New York, Sept. 25.-The important
official announcement was made on
board Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht
Erin today that Designer Fife would
have nothing to do with the sailing of
the Shamrock in the coming internal
tional races. Capts. Hogarth and
Wringe are to be equals in command
that is to say, Hogarth will sometimes
sail the yacht, while Wringe will at
tend to the trimming Of the sails, and
on other days Wringe may do the steer
ing.
The Shamrock did not go out for a
trial spin today. The wind was very
strong from the southeast, reaching a
velocity of rs miles an hour at times.
Early in the afternoon the Erin
steamed over to the Atlantic Highlands,
where the following visitors were TAX
en- on board: Hon. Bourke Cochran,
Judge Kehoe, H. C. Kelly, Hugh Mac
Gildowney, Col. Emmett Mrs. Emmett
and two daughters and Arthur Iselin.
After an inspection of the yacht, they
enjoyed luncheon with the Shamrock's
owner 1t was decided to put the
Shamrock in dock Thursday night.

Messrs. Williams, Davies and Miles and
Miss Voigt were there to enliven the
music with their solos, Miss Flor
snce was in the hall. but did not sing.
The music rehearsed included 1.-THE lily
nymph, King Trojan and 1.-THE
damnation of Faust" In each piece
the chorus showed to exceptionally
good advantage, and there was CRATE
full applause. The smaller works were
exeellently done. and the Ave Maria
and students chorus from Faust"
were unsurpassed in all the work that
the eli. rus has yet done. If this
standard is maintained throughout the
week, there is no question what the

The most serious problem relates to
the orchestra, not of course its tech

1t is not an easy task to keep body

check during such inspiring music as
Faust" The soloists, though not
often singing If full voice, made ia
vorablc impression. Mr.. Williams, who
is said to be in his very best form, and
Mr.. Ffrangcon Davies, can be taken for
granted. Miss Voigt is a stranger, and
much interest centered in her, but only
enough was heard to suggest that she
has TIE good voice and artistic appre-

MoURNED IN WESLEYAN.
Prof. H. w. Haley Was Valued anc
Beloved Instructor.

Middletown. Conn, Sept. 25.-The man
who registered at the United States
Hotel in Boston last evening as H. w.
Haley of West Concord, N. H, and
who was found dead in his room with
his throat cut, today, was DR.. Herman
Wadsworth Haley, instructor of Latin
in Wesleyan University and member
of the faculty.
DR.. Haley had been spending a por-
ton of the vacation at the home of his
mother in West Concord, N. H., and re-
turned to this city last week to prepare
for the opening of the college. On Sat
urday he met Prof. Nicholson, secretary
of the college faculty, and to him eX-
pressed the fear that he would some
time become insane. Prof Nicholson
advised him to see a specialist, and DIR.
Haley left Middletown Saturday af-
ternoon on the limited express for Bos-

would stop at the United States Hotel
DR.. Haley was about So years of age
and came to Wesleyan two and a half
years ago. He graduated from Am
herst College in 81, and after spending
year or two in study abroad, re-
turned to Harvard for post graduate
| course and received the degree of Phi
| D. He continued as instructor in
Latin for time and left there to come
to Wesleyan. He was noted as bril-
| liant scholar, successful instructor
! and very popular with the Students
Among classical scholars he enjoyed
the reputation of being one of the finest
in the country, and he also had the
| highest regard of the faculty.
| He had published a number of works
! the most popular of which was 'Al-
cetis" a Greek play, which was issued
| about two years ago. On its appearance
II was declared to be of unusual merit,
| Astounding in originality.
| At times the man was morbidly mel
! ancholy and cared very little for So
| ciety. BY many he was considered ex-
| centric for the reason that he mingled
little with his fellows. He was how
ever, fond of outdoor sports, and in his
! student days was the strongest man in
| his class.

sidering the character of the crops and
excellent trade conditions extant in the
cotton cloth markets Of the world.
Believing the market to be entitled to
a substantial reaction, shorts looked for
change OF fortune today, but events
proved that even worse setbacks than
had been previously experienced were to
be met with. In fact the bulls admin
