Police Are Now Investigating Van
 Dykes Sudden Death.


 Boston, December 5.--An autopsy is to be made by the authorities in the case of Dr. James Van Dyck. Dorchester phy scan and relative of the well known Princeton professor, who died suddenly Thursday. He had prepared some time before his death a document in which he expressed the fear that an attempt would be made to poison him.
 pr. Van Dyck made charges but the police have found nothing yet to sub stantiate them. Mrs. Van Dyck says her husband was insane ana that if any traces of poison are found the drug was self administered.
 The document which started the inves- tigation was given to a private detective by pr. Van Dyck on Wednesday and turned over to the authorities by the former.
 ''I want to leave this letter with you" the doctor told the detective, and If anything happens to me give 1t to the press"

 JOHN w. CLANCY.
 Countless thousands suffer from dyspep- sia, but think they have heart disease, neuralgia cancer spinal trouble or some other malady. You can readily tell if you have dyspepsia. and it can easily be cured. If you have bad breath; bitter dlsagreeable taste in the mouth; a furred tongue, especially early in the morning; chest, shoulders, head and back; nervous ness, fiuttering and palpitation of the heart, with unsteady irregular pulse, trembling feelings, sinking and fainting sensations; bad dreams and unrefreshtng slumbers: pain and tenderness beneath the left breast often extending through the chest and bowels then you have dys- pepsia and in a most aggravated form.

 'Yes, if you will play the part of Sam uel Pineapple, in "A Chinese Honey moon." MT Henshaw had hardly given a thought to an engagement for the sea- son. and was in a quandary what to dc. -cranberries on one side, and the Pine apple ringing in his ear on the other and, if he was to bring suit to recover his loss for cranberries, he would have to remain in New York, thereby losing the engagement, but MT. Shubert's plead ings were so convincing that he finally consented to become Samuel Pineapple, and when next seasons cranberries are ready for the market, MT.

COLORED COLLEGE ID BE BUILT HERE Birmingham Gets Freedman's
 Aid Institution VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS Work on the College Building Will Be Commenced at Once and School
 Will Be Opened By
 Next Fall.
VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS

R. J. Buckner, pastor of the St. Paul c. A. M. E. church, is in receipt of a letter from Dr. M. c. B. Mason, corresponding secretary of the Freedman's Aid and Southern Education society at Cincin- nati, Ohio, stating that the proposition made through the local committee of this society had been accepted and that the college under the auspices of the society will be located in Birmingham
 Several cities in the state, among them Montgomery, Anniston, Florence and De- catur, made an effort to secure this school and offered most liberal propositions The committee, realizing the greater .advant- ages possessed by Birmingham over these other cities in that the city was the largest and most centrally located, voted unanimously to accept the proposition made by Dr. Buokner through the local committee and the Red Mountain Devel- opment company
 The proposition, as accepted by the so- ciety, consists in the straight-out dona- tion of forty acres of land owned by the Red Mountain Development company. This property is just below the Golf club grounds, and is an ideal spot for the To- cation of such an institution as the Freed mans Aid and Southern Education soci- ety will establish.
 In order to secure this school for Br- mlngham, the united efforts of the local committee consisting of R. J. BucEner B. G. Smith, I. Townsend, U G. Mason and w. C. Davis, as well as a number of influential citizens of the city, were ne- cessary.
 The commercial club and board of trade adopted resolutions asking that the school be located here, and a number of citizens from this place went before a committee of the Freedman's Aid and Southern Edu- cation society, at Cincinnati, to present the advantages of Birmingham over other cities. Fred M. Jackson, president of the commercial club; J. B. Gibson, secretary of the commercial club; Hines Peevy, R. w. Mills and Mayor W. M. Drennen com posed the committee.
 All papers for the scnool have been signed, and the next move will be the erection of the college buildings. One of the most important features connected with this school will be the industrial training for the students, and this was the chief reason the Freedmans Aid and Southern Education society insisted on having a large tract of land for the school.

 The more vital the writer, the simpler and more direct his appeal. No careful student of literature can have failed to note that under great stress of feeling strong writer becomes almost monosylla- bic. In Mark. Twan's story in this num- Der of the magazine, the number of words average S36 to the page. The usual aver age is less than 750 The shorter the words, the more of Anglo-Saxon vigor. This point is of especial interest in the case of an author who of all the story writers of our time has the widest ap- peal.

thing, If that really be the cause of the present situation. For a year or more the public throughout the country was getting pretty tired of a certain kind of show made possible by the peculiar- ties of Broadway taste. The dramatic companies whose seasons have been in- terrupted so prematurey were engaged in productions of a distinctly higher grade-plays which were seriously meant to be worthy of consideration as drama, If they were not seriously received as such. Is 1t possible that a somewhat jaded and blase public is getting tired not only of the cheap glitter and bald humor of the average Broadway piece, but or the unvarying round of meaningless plays most of them patterned after few tire somey familiar models, hackneyed In sentiment and destitute of ideas?
 The average theater-goet does not want to be instructed. He wants to be amused. Admitting the force of that ancient com monplace, there Is still just a chance that he might like little refreshing variety in his amusement and even relish few ideas and a faithful representation now and then of the real life he sees around him. If his present failure to hand his money through the box office window with the wonted regularity should inspire an effort to produce few more really sig nificant plays now and then. certainly no one would be the worse.
