The girls at Wellesley college ars:
playing high jinks these days, and
never before were the class exercises
preliminary TO commencement so
marked by the spirit o. deviltryy There
have been severa1 eases Of hdnaping
OF late, but the climax was reached
when the president Of the sophomore
class, Miss Frances Hughes, OF New
York, was spirited away in the after
noon and kept a prisoner by juniors for
several hours. Miss Hughes escaped
her captors at dusk, and, clad In cy-
cling costume, Led the Mother Goose
procession In the tree day exercises.
Six other sophomores were surprised
by juniors while watching the latter
class in their secret ceremony of burn
ing of forensics In the west woods near
the college, and they were roughly
handled. The college gardener found
them late at night, bound and gagged
and blndfolded, lying beneath a tree
I'M the woods, where the juniors hadleft
them while they carried out their cere-
monies at distant point.
Upon their release the six girls set
out to effect the release of their class
president, who had been bindfolded
and led away. They traced her to the
house of Mrs. Pierce, a former profess
sor, and by a ruse succeeded in get
ting her into a carriage and driving
back to the college in time for her to
take her place in the exercises, but she
did not have time to attire herself In
evening dress. The girls consider the
pranks great fun and the junior class
is determined to stop at nothing to
gain it's ends. The binding of the six
girls and the deserting them in the
woods was reported to the faculty and
a rigid investigation has been begun.

Active Only at Night.

Surgeon McKenna, who has passed
the last six months on the island Of
Mindanao, does not hesitate to main
tain that the number of quadrupeds
and insects enjoying existence in the
moonlight of the tropics exceeds that
of their daylight rivals; SO much so,
indeed, that whole species and groups
or species are represented only
by nocturnal creatures. Forests that
remained as still as the grave under the
glare of the vertical sun are all in an
uproar within an hour after sunset.

President Mckinley, accompanied by

his habits, and this is the first time
since his occupancy of the white house
that he has gone to photographer,
as they have always come to him. The

A STORM IN THE TROPICS.
Impressive Memory of a Night in the
Blight of Benin - Binding
Flashes of Lightning.

The sun disappeared behind noun
famous mass of leaden-colored clouds
which rose rapidly in the southern and
western quarters, says J. Taylor Ward
in the Atlantic. To the eastward, also,
the signs were threatening. Night
came on suddenly as it does in the trop-
les. Soon the darkness enveloped US,
a palpa BILE veil. A noise like the march
Of a mighty host was heard, which
proved to be the approach Of a tropical
flood, heralded by drops as large as
marbles. It churned the still waters
into a phosphorescent foam which rem
dered the darkness only more oppres-
sive. The rain came down as it can
come only in the Blight of Benin. The
avalanche cooled us. reducing the tenn
perature ten or fifteen degrees, giving
us new life. and relieving our fevered
blood. I told Mr.. Block to throw back
the tarpaulin over the main hatch and
let our dusl1y friends get some benefit
of it. In half an hour the rain ceased,
but it was as calm and ominous as ever.
[ knew this was but the forerunner of
something to follow. We had not long
to wait, for suddenly binding flash
of lightning darted through the gloom
from east to west, followed by one in
the opposite direction. Without inter-
mission, one blaze after another, and
thunder crashing until our eyes were
blinded and our ears deafened, thou
sand times ten thousand pieces of ar
tillery thundered away. We seemed
utterly helpless and insignificant.
"How wonderful are Thy works." came
to my mind. Still no wind; the brig
lay helpless.

A PARDON Is ASKED
For Evan Wallace, of This City
Petition Being Circulated
Tuesday.

A petition was being circulated Tues
day for the pardon of Evan Wallace,
who was sent to the state reformatory
at Mansfield, for highway robbery.
1t will be remembered that Wallace
in company with two other parties,
held up and robbed two railroad men
named Arnold and Knobb, last fall,
at the intersection of Tuscarawas street
and Brown avenue. When brought to
trial Wallace pleaded guilty and was
sent to the reformatory instead of the
penitentiary, owing to his youthfulness.
Later he escaped from Jail with the
first batch batch Of prisoners who Sc
cured their liberty, but was recaptured,
brought back, and sent to Mansfield.
An effort is now being made to Sc
cure his release, his case being in the
hands of Attorney p. j. Collins

she Is still alive?" asked the court. He
made an ambiguous reply.
Judge Kennedy then read the letter
to him.
Harter was vislbly perturbed. Re-
covering his Jelf-possession he said
lamely that they had been divorced and
that he had heard that she was dead.
In the letter Mrs. Harter stated that
her husband professed relationship
with President and Mrs. Mckinley, and
the late Congressman M. d. Harter.
This she said was a mere delusion. She
added that he had another hallucination
and that Is that he has money. She
says he often sends kilograms and let

he Is in easy circumstances.
The Judge Is inclined to place faith
in Harters story about having been
robbed.
The case against the suspects was
continued to next Thursday.

cured, with his health permit number.
The samples will be submitted to the
state chemist. and whatever report is
received from him, will cause the
health officers here to take such action
as the cases demand.
The names of the inspectors who vis-
tied the city are Knouff and Berry.
They have visited other cities and con-
Quoted similar inspections. The work
was very quickly accomplished and the
work was thoroughly done.
COMPLAINTS MADE.
There have been rumors prevalent in
this city that the disinfectant, formal
dehyde, was being extensively used by
milkmen as a preservative of the fluid.
Complaints have come to the health
authorities from various sources that
the milk which they purchased was un-
wholesome and that symptoms of
serious stomach and intestinal troubles
were apparent after few weeks use of
fluid contaminated with the formalde-
hyde. The local officers made such an
investigation as was in their power, to
locate the guilty parties, but in this
they appear not altogether successful,
and that was why the state inspectors
were requested to come here.
Milk that was not adulterated with
the stun did not sour but could be kept
for many hours longer, and when 1t was
used, i'll effects always followed.
Physicians in this city are said to
have had many complaints Of stomach
troubles which they believe were oc-
casioned by the use Of milk thus
adulterated. The milk thus contamin-
ated is highly deleterious and medicines
have very little effect on internal
troubles caused through this disinfect-
ant being used. Formaldehyde is an
excellent preservative and that is why
possibly some Of the milk dealers may
have resorted to the concoction contain-
ing it to keep their milk from souring
OF spelling.
This same trouble was experienced
by the health authorities at Cleveland,
some time ago. Two arrests resulted,
one Of the dealers being fined SIS. In
Salem, a few weeks ago, like investi-
cation was conducted, and 1t is under
stood that arrests are probable there.

the milk dealers responsible for adult
Grafton. 1t is stated that there are
many who do not contaminate their
milk in any manner, in fact the major
ity of the dealers are believed to serve
good milk.
VIOLATION OF THE LAW.
Regarding the use Of formaldehyde,
prominent physician stated, Tuesday
morning:
1.-THE probabilities are that the small
amount of formaldehyde used would not
be dangerous but even the use of small
quantities of formaldehyde is a viola
ton of the law. Its use even in small
quantities in the summer time could
not but help to have deleterious effects
on children, particularly who live al
most exclusively on milk diet"
The report Of the state chemists an
alysis Is awaited with considerable in
terest by the local authorities. 1t Is
not known whether the concoction,
known as "Freezine," is used in this
city by the dealers or not. The chem
lists report will state that. Cities IN
this immediate vicinity have found
evidences of it in their analysis OF
of milk.
