THE OLD COPY,
The old copy, which hung in the public

was made from the original in the Sala
de Segnatura in the Vatican at Rome.
On returning from that city in the sum-
ner of 1851, MIR. Daniel II. London, Of
Richmond, Va, suggested that a copy Of
this painting should be presented to the
University OF Virginia by its alumni.

carry out this suggestion. He associated
with him Mr. John s. Caskie, Socrates
Naupin. Benz. d. Minor and John r..
Thompson, graduates Of the University,
and on the 18th of December, 1850, this
committee published circular explain
ing their purpose and asking a contribu-

at this institution. In the following

STRANGLED HER CHILDREN.
Horrible Crime of Brooklyn woman

Horrible Crime of Brooklyn Woman
ms Result of Alcoholism and Poi
son.
New York. July 26.-Richard Meade,
a night Waterman, on returning to his
home in Brooklyn to-day found his
two little daughters dead from strang-
ulation, caused by Irvine tightly tied
around their threats. A third child
was unconscious from the same cause,
and his wife lay in a comatose con-
dition on the floor, apparently suffer-
inP from alcoholism combined with
poison. According to the police the
woman was of Incorporate habits, and
the supposition is that she strangled
the children while in a delirious con-
dition. The oldest child was three
years of age. Her body and that of
her 1-year-old sister were lying on the
bed with several yards of stout Irvine
wound about their threats. The other
little one was still alive. and was re-
moved to a hospital with the mother.
The baby's injuries are probably fatal
as the cord had cut deep into it's
throat. About a year ago Meade had
his wife arraigned for commitment for
intemperance. 1t was just prior to
the birth of the youngest child, and
on that account she was released on
promise to reform.

Champion Did Not Realize This Until
After the Battle.

San Francisco, July 26.-Upon an

night it was found that Jeffries' nose
was broken. The champion was not
aware of the injury until the excite
ment of the battle had worn Off.
A doctor was then called and he
pronounced the small bones of the nose
broken. Jeffries believes the injury
was received in the second or third
round from left jab on the bridge of
the nose. The champion said that he
felt no pain from the injury, and would
soon be in good shape again. He
spent the night at the baths.
When Fitzsimomns had been count
ed out and he had congratulated JEFF
fries, he walked to the side of the
ring and, flnging one of the gloves
he had drawn from his hand to the
right and the other to the left among
the spectators, he declared in loud
voice that he had fought his last fight.

Austell had been making plans to
leave this city on Monday, and go TO
his home in Atlanta. He received a
Yale law school diploma last June,

Cook to detain him in New Haven any
longer. He planned to make the

this city out to the Double Beach

around Branford, and other places in
the fast machine. and went to the
Double Beach House. They went to
their room and remained there till
late in the evening.
Suddenly Miss Cook sprang up and
went into a small closet which was
used as an anteroom. and which con-
tanned a BATH Austell thought moth
ing of her action till he heard groan.
He jumped just in time to receive the
falling body of the girl. She col
lapsed and died in his arms.
Austell was stricken with grief He
summoned help and everything tnat
could be done by the hotel employees
was carried into effect. Austell hur-
r.edly dressed himself, jumped into his
automobile and raced it to Branford
to summon DIR. Evans. He reused the
coctor from bed and took him back
to the Double Beach House. DR..
Evans rushed into the hotel, but was
able to do nothing for the girl. She
had Teen dead for sometime, he told
them.
The girl was 10 years old and was
ar orphan.
Coroner Mix finished his investiga-
ton tonight. He says that there is
no prospect OF an arrest Austell is
grief stricken. He has offered fabulous
sums to have the affair suppressed.
