Grand Jary Holds Them Responsible
for lroquois Theater Calamity.
The special Chicago grand jury which
investigated the Iroquois fire voted to
indict FIVE persons Three of them are
men connected with the theater in differ
ent capacities. who are charged with
mansaughter. The other two are men in
the service of the city, who are charged
with palpable omission of duty in cOnnec-
ton with the inspection of the theater
under the building ordinances. Mayor
Harrison was made the subject of no
bill. Fire Chief Musham also was alb
solved from criminal blame, But while
the Mayor escapes indictment his admin
istration is censured in the report of the
jury. The investigators found that the
Mayor and his official family were open
to much criticism, but in only two in
stances did it seem that criminal respon-
sibility could he established.
Three charges Of manslaughter and
two of palpablc omission of duty are en-
bodied in the indictments Those against
whom true bills were voted are:

/ buildings charged with misfeassnce III

YALgs BUREAU OF SELF HELP.
Money Earned by the Students Esti-
mated ut Abont $4,000.


The annual report of the Yale bureau
OF self-help issued recently shows some
very interesting and significant re
suits. From Il careful canvass by cir
cular made among the men who were
helped to positions by the bureau, it
was found that the total amount earned
during the year. including the summer
vacation, was $3S,t16 This amount
was earned by 1856 men. The largest
amount in my one class was $4,000
by thirty-seyeh sophomorcs, Thirty
ucadamical juniors earned SSH and
twenty eight academical seniors SS,0GI.
Nine members of the graduate depart
ment of Yale earned s.. 100. These fig
urcs do not of course represent the en-
tire amount earned by Yale students. 1t
is well known that many obtain work
which does not reach them through the
bureau. Many who bad work from the
bureau did not answer the circular. II
is. therefore. safe to say that the
amount of money earned by men who
were partially or wholly working their
way throu IN college was not far from
$1,000 That is a conservative esti-
mate Some place it is us high as $780,,
o00.
In the replies to the circular, it came
out that more money was earned by
private tutoring than in any one way.
Seventy one students earned in this
way SS,G52, of which the large st
amount by any one class was $3,07S.
by academicai seniors. SophomOres
earned 81. $50 and freshmen, naturally
the least. Sl.06S Tutoring Is consider
cd the best way for student to earn
his money, as it takes less time from
his proper work The rates vary be-
tween 81 and So an hour. Waiting on
table was next to tutoring as an earn
or of money or board, its equivalent
70 q student. Sixty-tive men earned
/ s.. 49, In this way, of which sopho-
morcs had $3,313 and freshmen ST.

institutions which suffered in the fire
have reopened their doors elsewhere and
have begun n new lease Of life.
Insurance adjusters have been busy
fixing the losses and settlinG with those
who held policies. a consequence of the
fire has been the failures of the Peabody
and the Firemen's Insurance companies,
two of the oldest institutions OF the kind
in Baltimore. They could not survive the
blow Other companies would have shar-
ed their fate had the actual loss reached
the figure originally claimed, viz; 5000
UOO.OO0. When il was found that it
amounted to $S50O0,0O0 there was great
relief among the insurance men.
One of the results of the FIRE has been
the serious crippling of the work Of the
Johns Hopkins hospital, the income OF
which was largely derived from the rent
OF buildings which it owned in the burn
ed district. Sixty-cight warehouses, wide
~ scattered. belonging to the hospital
have been destroyed. and the hospital has
lost the income from them for possibly
two years. The hospital property de-

value.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny In the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
" ork though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

suicide OF
DAVID GOSS
GREAT SURPRISE EXPRESSED
BY MANY FRIENDS
INSANITY IN FAMILY
Seemed to Have Weighed on His
Mind-Worry and Overwork
Body Cremated.


Great surprise was expressed III
this city last evening when the Pal
ladium published the account OF the
suicide of D. X. Goss. A large num-
Der Of persons in this city knew him
wen and all were grieved at his rash
ect. Mr.. James r. Hart of this city,
knew him well, as did the Hon. Isaac
Jenkinson and others. His friends
believe that his condition was the re-
suit Of worry and overwork.
1t is said that there has been in
sanity in Mr.. Goss's family, and this
fact is believed to have preyed on
his mind.
Records at the insane hospital show
that Benjamin Goss, of Owen county,
the home of the Goss family, was
committed to the hospital twice, the
last time in 1856. In 1894 he was
taken out on account of his advanced
ace. In the comments on his case
on the records at the hospital it Is
shown that two Of his cousins had
committed suicide and that their
trouble was hereditary.
The private school for boys was
established by Mr.. Goss at Strassburg
''is Soon after he rerfredT from tie super
intendency of the Indianapolis
schools in 1900. He conceived the
idea that boys at the age of fifteen
might reap the advantages of for
eign school without losing their
Americanism and the school at
Strassburg was for boys Of this age.
Mr.. Goss was we'll equipped for the
management of such school. He
had great executive ability and not
only did he believe in making other
people work, but was an indefatig-
able worker himself. High education
was another element which entered in
to his success. He was a graduate OF
Indiana University and later attend
ed Cornell. His high grade of schol
arship at the latter institution won
for him the Andrew d. White fellow
ship at Heidelburg university.
At this school he made a special
study of history in which branch he
was an excellent student.
Mrs. Goss and two boys, Donald
and Elmer, survive. Dispatches "a
ceived yesterday by Mrs. Goss's rel
atives in Anderson stated that Mr.
Goss's body had been creamated, ac-
cording to his wishes, and that the
family will shortly sail for America.

indianapolis, Sept. 2s.-The need of
greater attention in Indiana schools
to reading. writing, arithmetic, lam
guage and spelling was discussed at
meeting of the state board of edu-
cation. superintendent Cotton says
there IS no intention to advocate the
elimination of courses in nature
study, music. drawing and such work,
but that the board believes the basic
studies in elementary education should
receive more attention. Action by the
board is expected to stir certain
schools to better teaching of these
subjects.
The board also discussed the ques-
ton of increasing the standard of
work done in high schools of the
larger cities. The proposition Of es-
tablishing a postgraduate course of
study so that pupils may spend an
additional year Of study at the schools
before entering college was considered
without definite action. The board
mebers were of the opinion that col
ored and white high schools should
be of the same standard The need
of the use of good English by school
teachers was another subject dis
cussed.
