L. e. @ooteTy Was born in Pendle-
teu county, Ky, in 1858. He was
reared on the farm and attended the
village public school. At the age of
twenty he attended Hopeeale, Nor
mai College at Hopedale, Ohio, one
session and returned 20 Kentucky and
taught the Mt Vernon public school.
la the fall OF 1880 he entered Bethany
College in the State Of West Virginia
during the administration of Pres. w.
X. pendletcn, who succeeded Alex
andef Campbell, the founder of the
institution. Bethany College had a
good four years course thoroughly
taught He completed the Classical
course in 1884, receiving the first hon
ors of class of twenty. Immediate
ly after graduation the principalship
OF Fayette College at Higginsville,
Mo-. was rendered him and accepted,
where he taught Latin. This posi-
tion he resigned two years later to
study law Before entering on his
chosen work, however, he served as
substitute for the acting president Of
Bethany College during his absence in
the spring term of 1886. At the close
Of this work he entered the law Office
OF Hon. Leslie r. Apologize, Fall
mouth. Ky, and by working sixteen
hours day was admitted TO the bar
in april OF the next year. In the fall
OF 1887, on the reorganization of the
faculty Of Bethany College, Professor
Wo0lery accepted the chair of Greek
for one year at the earnest solicitation
of the president, with the expectation
Of returning to the legal profession at
the end OF the year. Although he re-
signed at the close OF every year, new
inducements and new influences were
brought TO bear TO have him remain
in this position permanently. So he
taught Classical Greek in his Alma
Mater till 1893, when he removed to
Louisville, KY, TO resume the prae-
tice of law. This Is one of the strong
est bars in the country, the home Of
Tom Marshall, Justice Harlan Of the
Y. S. Supreme Court and host Of
other celebrities. Here he was adj
mitted to the bar at once; but he soon
saw he had lost his enthusiasm for
the legal profession. He had taught
too long anu was too strongly attach
ed to the profession to transfer his af-
fections back to his chosen work.
He was successful in his work; but the
more he got to do the worse he liked
it. He had lost his early enthusiasm
for the 'sHonorable profession" be-
cause he had lost his heart TO the
more honorable profession of teach
ing. Before he had been a resident Of
the city a year he was elected presi-
dent Of the local union OF Young Peo-
pies Society Of Christian Endeayor of
Louisville. While practicing law here
he received several offers to return TO
teaching, one Of which he accepted,
going to Des Moines. Iowa, in 1895,
TO take the chair Of Greek in Drake
University. an institution founded by
the present Ex-Governor Gen. f. nj.
Drake.

bank near and asked several men to
help her in her search. In few
moments George G. UT and Henry
TIT found him where he had ended
his life.
From indications he had been dead
for several hours. He had obtained
a rope and died by strangulation. A
coroners jury was empannelled by
Squire Manlff Hayes. Their verdict
was that he had come to his death at
his own hands while mentally Enbal-
anced.
Mr.. Brooks was veteran Of the
civil war having belonged to the COM

place was an officer. He has not been
right for several years and last sum
mer attempted to end his life by
throwing himself in the river twice

ers. His misfortunes had preyed on
his mind and he determined to end
them, finally being successful.

threatened The Whole Town with
Smallpox to be Shot Before she
was Quieted.
CHARLES Town, w. Va, June 20.
AT Middleway Jefferson County
seven miles west Of this place, Mary
Patterson, wife of John Patterson,
colored, ran amuck threatening ia
give all the inhabitants the smallpox.
Her husband has the disease, and
their house had been quarantined and
guarded. This enraged her, and in
some way she escaped, running
through the streets making threats.
She said she would throw the virus
from her husband into the wells OF
the village and about the premises OF
the residents. The village was in
CONSERVATION, and before the woman
could be arrested some unknown per
son shot her with shot gun. This
frightened her and she was only
slightly injured.
The Board Of Health Of this place
and the Board of Health OF JEFF
ferson county each had meetings and
took further measures to prevent the
spread OF the disease. The boards re-
port that there are no new cases, and
under their precautions it is unlikely
that the disease will spread. All the
cases in this place have been removed
to the hospital outside OF the town,
and about so suspects from families
where the disease was prevalent have
been removed to a detention house,
near the hospital, and all their resi-
dences thoroughly diSinfected.

DR.. Sanford gave a talk on the
s'School and its Surroundings" He
took up the subject in very practical
manner. He gave some excellent re-
marks on the care and arrangement
of school grounds, and on the furnish
ing of the school room, deyoting much
time TO the topic of ventilation and
lighting
After short recess, DR.. Sanford
made few remarks on sSchool room
Decoration" and then proceeded TO
discuss Current Events The adj
dress was largely on the War in Africa
and the Chinese complication, giving
d description of the South A frican
country, clearly picturing the habits
Of its people and then tracing events
which led to the present conflict with
England. DR.. Sanford emphasized
the fact that the Beers began HOSTILE
ties on the enemy's territory. He
urged it as a policy Of the United
States to stand neutral in the matter
With regard to the China trouble, he
said that little is known. He charac-
terized it as remarkable situation,
recognizing the uncertainty Of the
outcome. The talks on these topics
were exceedingly interesting and in
straetiye and impressive Of the inn
portance Of giving time to the study
of passing history.
Professor Miller then spoke on Con-
ventions. Prof. Miller in his pleasant
manner, reviewed the main features of
Conventions from the district to the
national, calling attention to some re-
cent changes in their method of pro-
ceeding. He did not conflne himself
exclusively to this topic, but discussed
some of the most important topics in
civil government especially the cleo
toral college.
In the evening Prof. Pearson OF
Cumnock School of Oratory, North
western University delivered the first
of series of lecture recitals. His
subject was James Whitcomb Riley.
Prof. Pearson was we'll received by the
audience, and we are safe in saying
that no hour in that Hall has been
more enjoyably spent than the one
listening to the various incidents of
the life of the .'Hoosier poet and hear
ing some of his most beautiful poems
recited Prof. Pearson is splendid
reciter. The personality which char
acterizes his reciting impresses US
with greater love for the inimitable
pathos that permeates Riiey's poems,
and we have greater desire to know
more of his unique style. Prof. Pear
sons next lecture recital will be at 4
o'clock, Tuesday, subject, .sRudyard
Kipling." No one can afford to miss
this opportunity of hearing about the
leading literary genius of the day.

A PLATFORM FOR ALL.

But let us dismiss all the trying, vex-
atious and unsoivoble questions whose.
discussion can bring US no benefit, and
see whether there is not a platform
broad, secure and scientific enough to
permit US all to stand upon it. offeS
the following:
First-HYc exist.
s;econd-We We're created or we could
not exist.
Third-We must have had creator.
FoIrth-That creator is Infinite in
power.
h Fifth-The teachings Of the Saviour
of mankind form an absolutely perfect
moral code, as has been proved by act
sual test
Sixth-Let US follow, SO far as is lu-
manly possible, the code formulated by
the Saviour
+ Seventh-1f this code is an 4rror, we
can lose nothing; il it Is truth, we shall
gain everything. He who rejects that
code can not possibly gain anything by
so doing, and he may lose everything
Common sense, therefore tells us to
accept 1t, and that inward guide, which
we call conscience, adds Its voice.
EighthThe limitations OF the finite
mind make 1t impossible for US thor
oughly and absolutely to understand
anything, such as light, color. motion.
electricity, life, death, the five senses.
etc. Let us, therefore, abandon the at
tempt to solve the unknowable and be
content to await the time when every
thing shall be made clear.
Ninth-Let the scientists. the schol-
ars, the stheologians, the .disputants and
doubters wrangle over points that are
not really essential to the saving OF the
soul; we will not yex ourselves with
them. but plant our feet upon this rock
from which nothing can move Us.
