NEW GYMNASIUM.
Fine Building mt Cedar Falls
for Both Sexes.

The Normal board of trustees at
their meeting in Cedar Falls decided
to build a gymnasium next year to
cost $4,000. This will be the first
new building to be erected from the
100000 fund which was voted by the
last legislature and which will fall
due with the five years. This build
ing will be one of the finest in the
United States and none exactly SINH
lar will be found in the east or west
as it will combine in arrangement
and equipmentthe ideas CLEANED by
President Seerley from the schools
of the east which he visited especially
for the purpose at the suggestion of
the board of trustees. The building
will be two stories in height with a
high basement. The equipment will
be of the latest design for ladies and
gentlemen. The building will be di-
vided equally between the men and
women. Gymnastic work for women
will be undertaken on much broader
scale than ever before in the history
OF the school. In the basement a
huge swimming pool will be placed
| where the students will be taught the
art of taking care of themselves in
water as well as on land.

IUMBLED INTO FORTUNE.
Old Irish Woman Rngpicker Becomes
an Heiress by the Death of
Cousin.

1t is doubtful if fortune ever tum-
bled into the lap of person less like
ly to use it to advantage than the $780,
600 which the United States supreme
court recently awarded to 65-year-old
Hannah Callaghan, of Cork, as her
share in the estate of her cousin, John
Sullivan who died in Seattle, Wash.
From the accompanying picture, of
Hannah Callaghan you can form a
pretty accurate idea of what sort of
person she is. Wrinkled, haggard,
with a narrow, pointed nose, thin lips,
bitter tongue and an aggressive dis
position, the woman who has just in
herited 100000 earned her living un-
til few days ago as ragpicker. For
years she has made her home in a
Equalid little room in a narrow
alley appropriately named Crone's
lane, in Cork's worst slum. She
began life as crochet worker,
and once earned as much as SIS
a week. Then she got to be a scrub
woman and made less, and of late
years she has collected bones, sold
fruit and generally lived from hand to
mouth. She has been somewhat par
tial to gin. When the news reached
Hannah Callaghan the other day that
she had inherited half of John Sulli-
vans fortune-Edward Corcoran, a
poor Dublin artisan got the other half
the old woman was so bewildered
that she could hardly realize what it
meant to her. She heard that her
cousin had died intestate, but had
thought SO little of her own chances
of getting a share of his estate that
when American lawyers came to her
several months ago and offered to
push her claim she made no trouble
over signing an agreement that they
should take half of any sum they
succeeded in getting awarded to her.
This does not mean, however, that
the old woman was feeced by her
American attorneys. For six months
they have worked like beavers to
get her Inheritance, and the endless
trouble they took and the ingenuity
they manifested certainly entitle

GOING TO OHIO.
Congressman Hull to Speak at the
Century Anniversary of the
States First Constitution.
Special Corre spondence.

Congressman j. A. Il. Hull, of Des
Moines, has been invited to deliver
the principal address at Chillicothe, o.,
November 81, on the occasion of the
celebration there of the one hundredth
anniversary of the adoption of the
first constitution of Ohio. The state
officers, state historical department
and prominent men of Ohio will par
ticipate in the affair, which is regarded
as state event. Edward Tiftin pre-
sided over the first constitutional con-
vention in Ohio. Congressman Hull is
lmeal descendant of this man, and
was born in Ross county, also, which
accounts for the extension of the invi-
tation to Capt. Hull to deliver the adj
dress. One of the features of the af-
fair will be the unwilling of a brass
tablet erected to mark the site of the
first statehouse of Ohio. Congress-
man Hull will accept the invitation.

Goose Decided the Suit.

Mrs. Ann Mcdonald, of Pittston,
Pa, accused Butcher Max Connors of
stealing goose belonging to her.
The latter denied the charge and said
he had purchased it from farmer.
1t was a question of veracity be-
tween the two, and Alderman Lotus
decided to let the goose make the d.-
cision. Accordingly, Constable Jo-
seph White was told to take the bird
to the vicinity of Mrs. McDonald's
home. If the goose recognized the
place and entered the property 1t
was her goose. AS soon as released
the goose turned from Mrs. McDon-
AIDS door and flew up the street in
the direction of Connors' store. He
got the decision.

How to BE Truly charmins.

The art of being charming must have
it's rise in the soul, but can be largely
cultivated and greatly aided by atten-
ton to small things; the kind word at
the right moment, withheld express
sious of sympathy at the proper time,
and tact and patience in all things.
Self-control is an admirable weapon,
and she who uses it will always be the
woman who rules in broad domain.
She proves her strength, and in the
hour of trial she bears up not only
fon. herself,' butt for all around her.
writes a, correspondent of the Boston
Post. So the charming woman may
or may not read Maelerlinck and Bal
FAC, but she must be bright and spon-
tanecus. a sulky nature seldom proves
responsive, and creates an atmosphere
to be Stunned rather than courted.

them to pretty stable fee if not
as large one as they have gained.
Since Hannah Callahan became an
heiress clergyman in her neigh
borhood has been looking after her
to see that no one takes advantage
of her. The precaution is necessary,
for the old Irish woman, who hasn't
yet decided to leave the dirty little
room in which she has lived for so
long, is being harried by people who
have suddenly discovered thems elves
to be relatives" of hers, disinter-
ested souls who would be willing to
assist her to invest her money as
well as gallant suitors who love her
for herself alone. JoSn Sullivan, the
builder of the fortune which Cor
coran and Hannah Callaghan have in
herited, was born in the same Cork
slum in which the old rag and bone
picker has lived so long. He became
a sailor and finally was shipwrecked
on the coast of the state of Wash
ington. He built himself cabin and
afterward second one, which he
rented to man who happened along
Finally he had whole village of
shanties which he owned, but Just
as it was beginning to bring him
in a little something in the way OF
rent the whole settlement burned
down.
Sullivan still owned the land, how.
ever, and he rebuilt upon it and
eventually, as one of the founders OF
Seattle, grew rich.-Chicago Chron.
