NOTHING BUT GOOD CAN RESULT.

NOTHING BUT GOOD CAN RESULT.
Raleigh Christian Advocate.
The Sixth Southern Educational Con
ference which met in Richmond last week
was quite a success viewed from the
standpoint of numbers, distinguished
speakers. and popular interest. We can
not see anything but good to result
from this enterprise The burden of ig-
norance rests upon the South and we
should have no sensitiveness which would
blind our eyes to the fact or resent any
movement looking to the removal of
this burden. Poor, but proud is a
very poor motto, especially when great
moral interests are involved. 1t is a
notable fact that one of the great ideas
emphasized in the meeting last week is
that the time has come when we are to
face the fact that intelligence Is the
basis of suffrage. In enforcing this idea
DR.. Lyman Abbott was peculiarly i'm
pressive. North Carolina has no reason
for feeling unhappy over her part in
the great meeting. Our speakers were
representative men and were heard with
the closest attention.

OPEN PRACTICE AT MADISON
Secret Work Is Abandoned by the
- Wisconsin Coaches.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 9.-Spectators
were allowed In the grand stand at
the practice yesterday. Bertke and
Bush were at their places but will
row. The freshmen team candidates
came out for the first time. Coach
Driver is disappointed that more
freshmen have not reported; only
thirteen were out yesterday. The
coach expects about twice this num-
Der out to-day. No games have been
arranged, but if the freshman squad
shows UP well enough to warrant it.
games will be secured. -
Coaches Curtis and Mccarthy are
in distress to find a suitable man to
play fullback on the Wisconsin foot
ball team. In the few days since the
Unsatisfactory game against the Ma
perville college team four candidates
have been given a trial at the inpor-
tant back field position and still there
is trouble, unless the latest adjust
ment, Frank Harvey, is found to be
good enough to hold the place. Har-
vey is not particularly heavy, weighs
IT'S pounds, but has great activity and
pugnacity, qualities that are eagerly
sought for on the gridiron.
Other candidates for the position
are heavier, but they are too slow
to suit Coach Curtis. Perry, who has
been playing at fullback, weighs 185
! pounds, but is like an ice wagon In
the scrimmages. Hannah, a Milwau-
kee boy, is also heavy and tolerably
good, but falls below the standard
set by the coaches. Peterson, a Nor

sin-Minnesota game played in Mil
Waukee. This means that the contest
must be held in Madison.
SO far as can be ascertained here,
this action will satisfy no one except
the Madison restaurant men and sa-

according to advices from Madison,

naturally wanted the game played
there, as did the Milwaukee business

There can be no question in re-

Wisconsins assigned reasons for
vetoing Milwaukee are amusing to To-
cal rooters. Professor Schlichter
holds that taking games away from
q college town to secure an increase
of gate receipts savors too much OF
professionalism. He rakes up the con-
ference, rule, that games must be
played on grounds owned by or under
the immediate control of one or both
of the colleges participating in the
contest.
This is all very we'll, but Professo,

MANY LIVES
SNUFFED OUT
Nineteen Are Dead and Two
Others Dying.
MANY HOMES WRECKED
Debris Of Half Hundred Buildings
Scattered-Loss by the Explosion
100000, Which Falls Mainly
on the Poor.
(By Associated Press.)

LOWELL MASS, July 3o.-A long
limo of hearses moving slowly through
the streets to-day was pathetic re-
ninder Of yesterdays catastrophe at
Tewksbury,, when an explosion OF tons
of nitro glycerlne, dynamite and gun
powder snuffed out nearly a score OF
lives, painfully injured more than dou-
BILE that number Of persons, and scat
tered half a hundred buildings over a
space Of several acres. Tonight the
number OF dead stands at nineteen 1t
may, be increased to twenty-one at any
minute by the death OF two OF the ten
victims now at ST. Johns Hospital.
u All day the searchers probed through
the debris for any traces Of possible un-
known victims OF the tragedy, but Moth
ing was brought to light which would
indicate that the number would be
greater than reported. A small bit OF
cloth, later identified as the lapel OF a
coat worn by one Of the victims already
known, and a human eye, were the only
gruesome reminders unearthed.
Every portion Of the ruined territory
has been carefully covered.
Insurance adjusters state that the loss
to their companies will be comparatively
light. as only the loss resulting from fire
will fall upon them, This will mean that
many of the householders. nearly all OF
them laboring men OF small means. VIII
lose everything they had In the world.
The official report OF the Tewskhury Sc
lectmen, which was made public to-
night, places the loss In the immediate
vicinity OF the powder magazines at more
than 100000. and as the loss will fall
largely upon the householders, much
hardship will result. Already the select
men have taken steps to relieve the suf-
ferlng, and In addition number OF
army tents have been supplied by Ad-
jutant General Dalton, to be used as
temporary shelters.
A relief fund started by the local
papers yesterday had reached the $1,000
mark tonight, After going over the
ruins this afternoon Judge Hadley, OF
the local municipal court, stated thai
he would insist upon the presence OF the
District Attorney at the inquest which
will soon be held.
