Oxford Is beautiful for situation. We
have not seen more charming
surroundings for a university than
those which bless this far-famed edn-
~cational center. The Cherwell and the
Thames rivers are here merged into
n stream and upon the banks are
situated the colleges which 90 to make
up the University The picturesque
enyirons have been helped to become
ven more picturesque by the care
taken to preserve their attractiyeness
and by the UNCOVERED buildings. We
were particularly fortunate in thesea-

fresh green Of the spring was In the
trees. The 'rare day in june had
taken the place Of the March weather
which had somehow Tapped over into
May. We were also fortunate In hav-
lug for a guide an Oxford student a
splendid representative OF the English
gentleman, Wilkie Calvert, brother Of
Prof. Sidney Calvert, Of Columbia.
Hence the two days which We passed
at Oxford gave US a most delightful
glimpse into Oxford life, the ways Of
undergraduates and the customs Of
English students.

WIFE PROTECTS STEP-sON.
Atlanta Policeman Gets Bullet In
Brain While Attacking His Boy.

Atlanta Policeman Gets Bullet In
Brain While Attacking His Boy.
James Munrce Duncan. an Atlanta
police officer, was shot down by his
wife Saturday night at 7:30 o'clock in
A boarding house at No. 81 North For
syth street. The wounded man was
removed at once to the Grady hospit-
al unconscious and dying, while she
and her step-son, Claude, are held at
the police barracks to wait an inVesti-
cation by the police and probably by
the coroner.
The shooting of Officer Duncan was
a tragic scene, with most dramatic
story behind it.
Duncan had been on protracted
spree and was said to have been drunk
at the time of the shooting. He threat
ened to kill his wife because she re-
monstrated with him about drinking.
His son by his first wife begged hm
to treat his wife with courtesy. En-.
ragged by the words from the son, Dun
can flew at him in rage and struck
him blow. The youth fell backwards
and his father began to choke him, at
the same time making an effort to
draw his pistol. Mrs. Duncan snatch
ed a pistol from the young mans
pocket and in another moment the Off
Ger was lying on the floor in a pool of
blood and unconscious.

ELEVEN Die In FLAMES.
Hotel In St. Louis Burns Causing
Heavy Loss of Life and Great
Property Damage.

A fire at st. Louis, Mo-, early Sun
day morning, which destroyed the En-
pire hotel, a large threestory lodging
house occupied by men exclusively,
caused the death of eleven persons,
ten men and one woman, and danger
cusly injured eight others. Ten or
more who had narrow escapes from
death in the fire were more or less In
jured by being frost-bittcn. 1t is esti-
mated that there were between thirty
five and forty persons in the building
Saturday night, and it is believed all
have been accounted for. Twenty
thousand dollars it is thought will cov'
er damage to buildings and contents,
which were totally destroyed.
The fire started at $3.50 a. m. when
few persons were abroad and gained
considerable headway before the
alarm was given. When the engines
reached the scene the whole front of
the building was in flames and the
building was seething furnace. BY
that time all who escaped death had
got out of the building by jumping
from the windows or climbing down
ropes made of bedclothes.

CHILDREN DIE IN FLAMES.

and Four Little Ones Cremated
While They Slept.

Maryland side of the Potomac river,
was entirely destroyed by fire and four
CT the Robertson children, Pearl,
Owen Effie and Joseph, the Oldest aged
10 and the youngest years, were
cremated.
The fire, which is thought to have
started from sparks from an open
hearth, spread so rapidly that Mr.. and
Mrs. Robertson found all means Of es-
cape gone for the children, who were
asleep in another room, and were COM
PEELED to jump from second-story
window dressed only in their night
clothes in order to save their own
lives. The parents made several futile
attempts to save the children, but
were driven back by the flames, and
after the fire had subsidized some.

aid came fro mneighbors. Mr.. Robert
son claims the hearth fire was well
covered and that the fire, which start
cd from a lower floor, must have been
of incendiary origin.
The tragedy recalls the murder OF
an old man named Kessler and the
burning of his house; also the burning
CT the house of an old woman, In
which she and her grandchildren lost
their lives, both of which occurred sew
eral years ago in the vicinity OF the
Robertson home.

TEN MILLIONS LOSS
Patterson, New Jersey, Visited
By Fearful ConfIagration.
A DES0LATE WASTE OF RUINS
Twenty-Five City Blocks Are Reduced
to Smoking Embers and Ashes.
Thousands of Families Are
Rendered Homeless.

A great fire swept through Paterson,
New Jersey, Sunday, and in it's desc
late wake are the embers and ashes
of property valued in preliminary esti-
mate at S1O,00O,000.
1t burned its way through the busi-
ness section of the city and claimed
as its own a majority Of the finer
structures devoted to commercial, civ
ic, educational and religious use, as
well as scores of houses. There was
but small tribute of life and injury
to the conhagration, but hundreds
were left homeless and thousands
without employment. A relief move
ment for the care of those unsheltercd
and unprovided for has already been
organized, and Mayor John Hench
Cliffe says that Paterson will be able
to care for her own without appealing
to the charity of other communities
and states. The great manufacturing
plants of the place are safe and the
community, temporarily dazed by the
calamity, has already commenced the
work Of reorganization and restora-
ton.
The fire came Saturday at midnight
and was only checked after dcspeT+
ate fight that lasted until Sunday al
ternoon. Every city and town within
reach Of Paterson sent firemen and
apparatus to the relief of the threat
ened city and it took the united efforts
OF them all to win the battle.
A northerly sale gave the confagra-
ton an Impetus and carried its burn
iLg brands to k;nGle the blaze afresh
at other points. The fremen made
stand after stand before the wall OF
fire, but were repeatedly driven back,
and when victory finally came to them
they were grimed and exhausted.
Thousands Without Shelter.
An estimate made from a general in
81 ection of the smoldcring ruins plac-
eI the number of dwellings and apart
ent houses destroyed at five hundred
and the number of families left with
out shelter at one thousand. The area
ol destruction foots up, roughly
twenty-five city blocks.
The fire began its work Of far-reach-
ing obstruction in the power house Of
the Jersey City. Hoboken and Pater-
son Traction Company, which fronted
on Broadway, extended block to the
rear on Van Houten street. 1t com
