ing a bottle Of what is supposed to
have been sulphuric acid in a crowd.
ed street car. James Dodd. a twenty.
year-old son Of Andrew Dodd, a
wealthy glue manufacturer. of Salem.
made an attempt Sunday night to ecd
his life.
He was carried to the Beverly Hos
pital, where 1t is said tonight that he
will recover. The young man Gre
ated a panic among the passengers
when he swung aboard the car, All 4
saying: Good by, remember me to
dad" drank from the vial and CO..
lapsed.
The young man had recently return
ed from Paris, where he had been
seeking his father, who sailed last
March after domestic troubles with
his young and second wife, who Is
Alma Clapp, of Boston, and for a time
clerk In his Boston office. The young
man was known to have brooded over
his fathers troubles. He was subject
to violent attacks Of indigestion and
%epileptic fits.
The mystery of the attempted sui.
eide is partly cleared by the state.
ment Of a steamship acquaintance
who came over on the same ship from
France with Dodd. The latter at that
time told him that he had been
searching for his father for six
months in and about Paris. The faith
er had disappeared, but afterward
communicated with his family with
out disclosing HIS whereabouts.
The acquaintance added that Dodd
seemed much depressed over his ina.
bility to locate his father. Upon ar
irving in New York he said he parted
from Dodd and had not heard from
him since.
Mr.. Dodd, Sr, married his second
wife about two years ago. He was
fifty and she was twenty years old.
On March &c Mr.. Dood advertised
that he would not be responsible for
bills incurred by ANY person" and
sailed for Europe.
When Mr.. Dodd left he sent a let
ter to his wife in which he gave as
his reason for going away her extrav-
agance, and especially that she had
come between him and his children.
and made things so unpleasant that
the children could not come TO see
him with any degree of satisfaction.
Mrs. Dodd, Sr., who is now in Salem,
did not call at the hospital to see her
step-son.

Former Fairmoot Boy Elected Head
of the Department Of Education
of the University Of Louisiana.

From the San Jose Mercury.l
Prof. C. ]. Bennett, who has been
teacher Of psychology in the San
Jose State Normal School for the past
seven years, has just been elected
head of the department of education
of the State University Of Louisiana.
During the past year Prof. Bennett
has been at Columbia University do.
ing graduate work, where he received
the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy.
In an interview last evening Presl.
dent Daley said: ut will be quite
difficult to get a man who will com.
pletely fill DR.. Benefits place. DR.,
Bennett is a scholarly man and an ex.
cellent teacher. We shall miss him
greatly from the Normal School.
However, l am glad to see him pro.
NOTED.
From what I understand of his new
position he will have a much larger
field for usefulness than with us. He
is to take full charge of the depart,
ment of education with full authority
to organize it along the lines which
he thinks best. | fef certain of his
entire success in his new field. He
goes with the best wishes of all our
students and faculty."
The Louisiana University is located
at Baton Rouge, the State capital,
which Is a beautiful city of some
$4,000 inhabitants and situated upon 4
high bluff overlooking the Mississippi
river. The university is one OF the
leading institutions of the South and
is entirely up-to-date in its methods
and departments.
The wonderful industrial develop
ment OF the South, and especially OF
Louisiana, is destined to make it one
of the leading universities of tn,
country.

been brought into prominence, the
government taking an active part in
the search for valuable new forage
plants. The result is that in all sec.
tons OF the Union the farmer has a
choice OF new hay plants. and in most
sections he has a chance to vastly
increase his crops and improve his
farm with the new growth.
Another food product that the
man Of the South finds enormous
value in is cottonseed meal. When
the seed has gone through the oil
mill for the oil to be pressed out, a
hard cake is left in the press. This
is ground into a fine meal, which is
superior to almost anything else that
can be fed to the cows, and dairymen
