This boat. it is interesting to note,
was presented to the Gar, Ivan the
Terrible, by our Queen Elizabeth.
When Peter the Great was a boy at
Moscow, he played with this boat, and
had her repaired so that he could sail
with her in lake. This led to the In.
terest that he ever afterwards took
in naval matters, and the founding
of the Russian navy-his first war
ships being little more than copies Of
this craft. He 1t was who christened
her 1.-THE Little Father of the Russian
Fleet" name she has borne ever
since, and in Russia she is regarded
reverenually."

It LooIled Like Homo.

Every night when the man left the
Office he went around TO the north Side
Of the park and sat down on a stone
pile that marked the site of historic
building and stared with dreamy, visit
full eyes at a small frame shanty on
the opposite side Of the way. One
night another man, VINO had seen him
sitting there often, asked him what he
was thinking about. about home"
said he. "That little frame house over
there and few others like II that have
been put up by the subway company
are the only things in all this town
that look the least bit like home. In
the place / came from most of the
houses were frame, with gingerbread
trimmings around the caves. and
good many Of them We're shaped like
that shanty, and some were painted
that very color."--New York Times.

II were an en- tree, tall and strong,
And you we're another across the street,
We'd reach our arms out straight and long
Until our hands-our leaves--would meet,
And this is the way we'd swing and sway
Up to the sky the whole long day;
And, oh, when a great wind blew us about,
How we would toss our arms and shout!
You and would have glorious fun

near relatives. She was practically
alone IN the world, and there can be
little question that this feeling caus-

EIGHTY.THREE NEW CADETS.
Corps will Number 100 This Term
will Assemble ON Drill Ground Mon

day.
Eighty-three new cadets have en-
listed In the cadet corps this year.
This is more than double the usual
number of new ones but the corps is
not yet -proportionately larger, A
larger number Of old cadets left last
year than in previous years. This
was due In part to the fact that the
new law makes the limit of service
four years instead of five years.
The whole corps was out Wednes-
day for drill the first time and will
assemble on the field again on Mon
day. Meanwhile the new cadets have
been going through with the delight
full experience Of being measured for
their frst uniforms. The corps will
not number over 100 for the fall term.
This is something Of a disappointment
as the full number of 225 had been
expected to enlist.
The promotions and assignments
Of cadet officers have been announced.
They are as follows:
J. M. @. Forquer major; It. W.
Raymond captain of artillery; Dana

TOOK ROUGH on RATS.
Miss Nell yandcrvort Made AT
tempt to end her Life.

Suffered Great Agony and Is in Very
Precarious Condition Brooding
Over Remarkable Events of Parents'
Lives Probably the Cause.
From Fridays Daily.
Miss Nell Vandervort weIl-known
lacy, Of Beechurst Avenue, attempted
to end her life last night by taking
rough on rats. A physician was call
ed to her home about five o'clock this
morning and found her in very SER
ious condition. He was with her an
hour or two, and did all that could be
done to save her life. She is still in
a serious condition, and may not re-
cover.
Miss yandervort lives in the house
formerly occupied by her mother, Mrs.
w. N. Stewart. She has young girl
10 the house with her. She retired
last night about the usual hour, and
some time In the early part of. the
morning, is not known exactly when,
took the poison.
When discovered, she was suffering
great agony, and seemed on the point
Of death. 1t was about five O'Clock
when the physician was called. Miss
| Vandervort Is well advanced 10 years,
and has lived alone since the death OF
| her mother.
IL is not known what caused the
woman to make the attempt on her
life. 1t is presumed that 1T was due
to her brooding over the loss OF Der
mother and other troubles. Mrs.
Stewart, her mother, was married
early in life to Asbu.5 Vandervort.
Miss Neh is a child of this marriage.
The Vandervorts lived in Iowa. One
day Mr.. Vandervort left home, and
did not return. The body of man
was found shortly afterwards, and it
was buried as that Of Vandervort,
After his supposed death, Mrs. Van
dervort came back to Morgantown,
and married w. N. Stewart. Over
80 years afterwards Asbury Wander
wort came back, as II from the dead,
and is now living In Preston County.
He never gave any explanation OF his
conduct.
| On his return, Stewart brooded over
the matter, and Immediately left his
wife. He has since died. A short
time ago, Mrs. Stewart died, leaving
the daughter Of her first marriage
alone.
Miss Vandervort has good living
and was not in need. The only expla.
nation of her rash attempt at self
destruction is that she became despe.
rate by brooding over the remarkable
events related above.
Late this afternoon it is stated that
| the patient cannot recover.

High Dive Creates Sensation.

While the baseball game between
the Uniontown and Morgantown Elks
was being played on saturday, man
with jag was escorted to the steps
leading from the grounds. He was
then released and told to go, He felt
so good that he attempted to fly and
lit at the foot of the steps on his head
which resembled waffle after he
struck. He suffered no serious injury
by the dive which created a sensation
and attracted all OF the spectators
to that quarter of the grounds.

Some years ago the practice OF
welcoming the new students with a
social was started by the Christian
Associations of the University
This practice is much more COM
meudable than some which are in
vogue at other colleges where the
new student is much sought after
but where he rarely enjoys the dis
junction. Friends of the University
are rejoiced to witness the lack Of
hazing which has been SO noticeable
here and they commend the students
for this example of right thinking
and right living.

NREFIENED YEARS WORK.
DR.. Compton Read Interesting
Report Sunday Night.
Nearly Is0 Accensiens to Church Re.
markabIe Progress Along ALI Lines.
Social Life in the Chureh-Dr. Comp.
ton Goes 10 conference.


DR.. NJ. F Compton read his re-
port of the years work OF the Meth
odist Episcopal church at che regu-
lar meeting Sunday night. The
church was crowded and the review
Of the work OF the year was listened
to with parsionable pride on the part
OF the members, amt with approba-
ton by those ~ho lad no part ia it.
The report was necessarily a long
one, and it required forty minutes
to read it. Plenty of statistics we're
given, but the report was anything
but dry. The pastor presented the
facts in a moss interesting manner,
aud gave an excellent idea of what
had been accomplished by making a
comparison brtween his own and a
former pastorate.
The fact of greatest importance
that might be mentioned is the
growth in membership During the
past year rs persons have united
with the church by letter and 70 by
profession. This is within five OF
the number VINO joined the church
during the four years of DIR. Leach's
pastorate. Twenty members have
been lost during the year by death.
Another fact that might serve to
allay President Roosevelt's fears re-
garding race suicide is that while
DIR. Leech married only II couples
during his first year here, DIR. Comp
ton married %.
The report showed progress and
healthy growth along all lines, and
was too elaborate to admit Of even a
brief mention of all its features
Or. Compton said among other
things that many of the women Of
his church were leaders in society
Their efforts in social line, howey-
er, took largely the form OF card
parties. The members of the church
who did not engage in this pastime
we're left out in the cold. He then
pictured what the social life of the
church might be if the ladies who
possessed so many graces would
bend their efforts in this direction
Following the reading of this re-
port. DR.. Compton called all the
members of the Official Board Of the
church to the front OF the pulpit,
and the congregation passed around
that way, shaking hands with them
Dir. Compton left at noon today
for Wheeling 10 attend the confer
ence, which opens tomorrow. He
goes day early to assist in the ex-
animation of candidates for admis-
sion to the ministry.
1t was stated in the New DoMIN-
ION Saturday that Mrs. j. A. Stew
art was the first woman of the
church to subscribe 81, 900 towards
the new church fund. This state
ment was given out by u member Of
| the Official Board of the church, but
was incorrect, nevertheless. Mrs
Sturgiss was the first to give 5 900,
which she afterwards increased to
| $1,000. Miss Lilly Hagans was the
second lady to donate $1,000 and
Mrs. Stewart was the third. Mr.
oturgiss has given $1,000 towards
the support of old ministers OF the
church, and $3.50 has been added to
| this nv a general collection
