DEATH OF A PAGER

The fast pacing horse Charley v died
on Tuesday of this week at the stable
of his owner, Walter A. Clark of State
street, between Court ana Elm streets.
For several weeks the PAGER had been
seriously afflicted with azoturia, for
which he had been treated by two vet
Urinary surgeons and most carefully
attended by his owner and other assist
ants. Charley V. was descendant of
the fast trotter George Wilkes, and
came from a celebrated western breed
ing farm Mr.. Clark stated yesterday
that the horse had been started in only
one race when he took a record of
2:9S1a, which is no reliable criterion of
his speed as he had paced mile in
the fast time of 2:0S, He also stated
that he was very speedy in a road race
and that he would have refused $1,000
for him.

HADLEY ON ELECT
IVES

President Hadley addressed the fresh
man class is College street hall Tues
day morning in regard to the choice of
electives for sophomore year. His re-
marks were of a nature to be of general
interest. He said that the, sophomore
electives had been increased in order to
give men chance to determine the
bent of their minds in regard to their
life-work as early in the college course
as possible. StilNa choice of line of
work at the beginning of the sophomore
year was not final as it could easily
be changed in junior or senior years.
This Is one of the greatest advantages
of sophomore electives.
President Hadley divided the pur-
suits of life which the student was like
ly to follow into three large divisions:
Scientific, the stuy Of objects; Aes-
thetic the study of boAys; and Ethical
the study of affairs. These three he
subdivided into three different life
works each of a total of nine, as fol-
lows: First, medicine; second, product
i've industry; third. engineering and ar
chitecture; fourth, teaching; fifth, min
istry; sixth, literature;. seventh, jour-
nalism eighth, mercantile interests;
ninth, law.
He then recommended that the fol-
lowing subjects be selected for each of
the nine, For first second and third
both French and German for first and
second, chemistry, specially; for second
and third, physics; for third, both
courses in mathematics, which will vr-
tually save a whole years work in this
subject; for fourth, continuation of ear
lier, studies; for fifth, German, Greek
and history; for sixth, French, Latin
and Greek; for seventh, German and
history for eighth, a diversified course;
for ninth, Latin and Greek.
President Hadley explained that the
subject of English could not be treated
as 'the others. He advised every man
whose real interest in the subject ia so
great that he can make it more than
class room course, to take English;
otherwise 1t would do more harm than
good.
In closing, he said that electives had
always been treated in way at Yale
that was extremely gratifying, and
that he believed the new system of
electives for sophomore would prove q
complete success.

we are as yet only upon the threshold
1t makes little difference what syS-
TENS of lesson study we use, but we
should use the Bible in it's broadest
sense. The principal objection to the
method of study as it is frequently car
ried on, is that we are satisfied with
looking at the Bible piecemeal and the
result is that our children fail to get the
teachings of the Bible as a whole.
our present course on the life OF
Christ would be worth tenfold what
it now is if we could have in mind a
comprehension of the life Of Christ as
a whole as we go on in connection with
every section we study. That Bible
study ought not to be Thought salts
factory which comprises merely the
ability to classify the books of the BIZ
BILE and to arrange them in their varl-
GUS groups, etc. That is a good thing,
but it is only starting point. Go on
and every three months push the study
of tho Bible further.
For illustration, take the topic Love
Of God; ask the children to find out
the best Bible passages on that theme,
and have these passages carefully GULL
blackboard where they can be seen
and added to. This will soon lead the
children to realize the value Of Hosea,
Deuteronomy, John and other books as
containing passages to which they
ought to turn when discussing that
great theme.
Another great aim is the opportuni
ties offered for upbuilding child-life.
Many a mans career begins M the
Sunday school. The superintendent has
the chance to drop seed thoughts of
real value. He may never know the
value of such thoughts, but thirty or
forty years hence those who as children
tucked such thoughts away may real
ize them as blessed Of God.
I'm closing let me briefly allude to
some of our legitimate aims. First,
wise organization, 1--WE can accomplish
much through it and little without it,;
second, have a policy, and one involv-
ing wise agitation; third, have pro-
gramme which limits the work the SUI
perintendent will exactly try to do;
and, lastly I hardly know what WORT
to use for the fourth aim. II the SUI
perintendent is sincere and puts himself
in line with Gods purpose and asks
to have it developed he will be con-
sciouS of large advances

PAID LARGEST DIVIDENDS.

Bridgeport, March 21.-John Kearns
received a decree of discharge from
bankruptcy through Referee John w.
Banks from the United States district
court to-day. He made voluntary as
signment of bankruptcy Oabout two
months ago and his affairs have been
in the bankruptcy court since. The
report of w. E. Morgan of New Haven
who acted as trustee for the estate, is
of peculiar interest, inasmuch as it
shows that the largest dividend yet
paid in this state since the enactment
of the national bankruptcy law, is de-
clared. The creditors will receive SO Is
cents on the dollar. Judge Patrick
Kane was counsel for the estate. MI.
Kearns is a plumber. and has reopened
his place of business on Middle street.
His liabilities We're about $4,000 and

Signs That the Free State Is to be Adam
dOned by the Trnnsvallers-Pactfic
ton Around Bloemfomtein.

London, March 21-2:20 p. m.-The
showing activity on either side comes
from Warrentown, north of Kimberley,
where desultory fighting occurred all
day on Sunday, resulting in the retreat
of the Beers towards Christiana, under
shell fire The progress of this column
towards Mafeking has either almost en-
tirely ceased or is forbidden to be men
toned in dispatches. Nothing new
comes from Colonel Plumer, and MAIZE
king, apparently, still awaits relief.
The Pretoria account Of the sllirmish
at Fourteen Streams on March 16 says
that Boer command was preparing to
destroy railroad bridge, and that the
engagement lasted half an hour, with
the result that one bugler was slightly
wounded. The same dispatch announces
the arrival at the Transvaal capital of
General Schalkburger from Natal.
The second edition of the Times to-
day publishes dispatch from Bloem-
fontein, dated Monday, March 10, which
says: THE blowing up Of bridges by the
Beers is an evident sign that the Trans
walters intend to abandon the defense
of the Free State"
All is quiet in the south and west. A
corps of young Beers from the farms
surrounding Bloemfonten, under an
imperial officer has been detailed for
police work and to prevent the further
looting of abandoned farms by the KAT
frs.
1t Is said that when President Kruger
left Bloemfontein, after his recent visit
there, President Steyns parting remark
was: Mind the British do not catch
you, or you will get better quarters at
st. Henela than l"
The Beers at Aliwal North are re-
ported to be still holding a position in
the big hills on the Free State side.
From a Pretoria dispatch it appears
that some misunderstanding regarding
Lord Salsbury's reply to Americas Of
fer of mediation exists there. 1t has
been quoted to the effect that Lord
Salisbury said he could accept the inter
vention of no other power, leading to the
belief that the American representations
would be listened to in the final settle
ment.

fontein.
