cessitated this enlargement of accom-
modations For some years and notably
last year, the old boarding hall has been
uncomfortably crowded. At the annual
meeting OF the trustees in June for ques-
ton of erecting dormtory for the sole
use of the young women was discussed
and some conditional subscriptions for
that purpose were made. The need OF
more rooms is emphasized this fall by an
increase Of eight per cent. in the regis
tration over that of INST year at this
time. 1t has been decided to push the
enterprise with all possible viRor SO that
the work of building may he begun next

which $4,000 shall be used in the cree
ton and furnishing of the building. and
$4,000 shall he set aside as an cndow-
ment fund to care for the structure.
The canvass FOR funds is meeting an en-
couraging response.

IN FAMILY TOMB.
Pug Dog Is lncased In Silver Mounted
Coffin.

New Orleans Cor. Baltimore Sun.
Doodle, "A pug dog years 71s months
old. died yesterday morning in the fam
ily" residence, 1919 Coliseum street, of
heart disease and in the afternoon the
body, incased in handsome silver
mounted coffin, was laid to rest IN the
family tomb in Metalrie cemetery, the
most fashionable in the city. The dog
was the property of Mrs. w. i. Crotts,
wife of the last assistant general super
intendent of the sewerage and water
board Prominent physicians were called
when the dog sicSened, but to no aNail.
Mrs Crotts sent across the street TO
an undertaking company and procured a
bahv coffin. A hearse and carriage were
hired from the same establishment, and
while Mrs. Crotts as undertaken. pre-
pared the body for interment the other
details of the funeral were perfected.
Crotts Mrs. Crotts, her son, Dudley
Boazman, and the young mans friend,
sydney Roberts, were the mourners. They
rode in the carriage to Metairie cemetery,
where the Crotts family tomb had been
opened There without ceremony, the re-
mains of Doodle were laid to rest, and
the grief-stricken attendants turned
homeward.
Mrs. Crotts was hysterical when she
told of Boobies last moments.
IL did not weep" said Mrs. Crotts, be-
cause I am not of that kind. When my
son died. / could not weep for four days,
and | have not wept for Doodle My son
loved me and Doodle loved me- Doodle
had been my protector for more than
eight years. and IL had $1.0o0,00O to spend
on the funeral she would have received
lily what was her due.
II reared Doodle from an infant, and
loved her When l had the family tomb
built in Metairie cemetery l had six
places made-one each for my mother
and son, who are dead, one each for Mr..
Crotts and myself, one for my living son
and one for his wife, should he marry.
The vault was reserved for such occa-
sions, and into it we placed Boobies re-
mains.

| who said: Give me liberty or give me
DEATH The south covered herself with
| glory in the revolutionary war and it
was one of her sons who was commander
in-chief of the continental army, which
| fought for the principle of all men are
created equal; that they are endowed by
| their Creator with certain inalienabe
rights. among them are life liberty and
| the pursuit of happiness. This is the
| foundation upon which the American re-
| public was builded. If this be true then
how could the south be justified in seced-
| ing from the union because she wanted to
| deprive 100000 men, women and children
| of their liberty?"
The man who asserts that the southern
states seeded in order to perpetuate slav-
cry confesses his ignorance. Up to the
time that the war broke out the question
| of Jabolishing slavery in the states had
+, never been considered in Congress. As
late as March. 1861, President Lincoln
said in his inaugural address, II have no
purpose, directly or indirectly. to inter-
fere with the institution of slavery in the
states where 1t exists. | believe I have
no lawful right to do so. and I have no
inclination to do So" Charles Sumner,
leader of the abolition party in Congress-
said in the Senate on February %. 1861,
Il take occasion to declare most explic-
| lilly that | do not think that Congress
| has any right to interfere with a state"
1.-The principle thus announced" says
Mr.. Davis had regulated all the legisla-
ton of Congress from the beginning Of
its first session in 1889 down to the first
session of the Thirty-seventh Congress,
commencing July 4, 1861"
The question of dispute up to that time
had been whether the STAKEHOLDER should
be permitted to go with his slaves into
territory into which the non-slaveholder
could go with his property of any sort
1t was not until after the war had begun
that Congress began to take up abolishing
slavery in the states.
1t is too late to go into any academic
discussion of the long chain of events
that led to war between the states. but
1t is always timely and proper for a
southern newspaper to denounce the SLAM
der that southern patriots shed their
blood ito deprive 100000 men, women
and children of their liberty" As for Vir-
ginia, she was the first of all the states,
north or south, to prohibit the slave trade
and her gallant son, Robert f. Lee. who
led the Confederate forces. had already
set his slaves free when Lincoln's eman-
cipation proclamation was made. The
mere fact that the COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the Confederate armies was himself OPP
posed to slavery is a sufficient answer to
the Islander of the Suns correspondent.

/ verse. There was wide disagreement in
| each week between the cash changs as

the estimates, but while the discrepancies
| in the previous week were clearly ex
| plainable those last week could not be

creases in loans, general deposits werei
reduced SEAL 100. This reduction in de-
posists was, however, greater by s1,32s,-

British Shell of 1872.

An interesting relic of the war of 1872 was recently hauled from the depth of Curtis bay in q fish seine by B. R. Stull, says the Baltimore Amer ican. The relic is shell which is sup posed to have been dropped overheard from one of the British warships which assailed Baltimore.
 He took the shell to Fort McHenry, where the ordnance officers pronounce 1t shell of English make, and also informed Mr. Stul that it was loaded. Mir. Stul was determined to find out what was inside and placing it under water, he carefully bored through the cap.
 When the cap was removed about gill of black powder, which is in good condition, came out. There was some thing else inside, so Mr. Stull contin- ued to dig, and at last dislodged 176 leaden bullets, each about five-eighths of an inch in diameter, which had been firmly embedded in birthstone.
 The shell is 55s inches in diameter, and with it's contents weighs 22R pounds.
 It was also learned by MT. Stull that the wooden cap was portion of the shell, the method of shooting the shell being to place the cap on the shell, with a fuse leading through the cap and the bell metal to the interior of the shell.
 The powder charge for the gun was then either tied or wrapped around the outside of the wooden cap and the whole placed in the gun. When the latter was discharged the powder ig nited the fuse, which in turn carried spark to the powder in the shell.
 The spark reaching the birthstone caused a gas to form, and this explod- ed the shell, the leaden bullets causing the destruction.

THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATION.
Two Newspaper Reporters Are Re- spOnsibIc for the Great Upheaval.

There would have been no investiga- ton of the insurance companies had 1t not been for the recent disclosures made by David Ferguson, reporter for the New York World, who began by prodding the officers of the EQuita- ble about James Hazen Hyde's Cam bon dinner and other evidences of ruin ous waste. At the outset, Ferguson was laughed at by the men he ap- preached. Hyde and Alexander, the two heads of the Equitable, denied everything-dened that there was any factional uprising in the Equitable, or the slightest unfriendiness between MT. Hyde and MT. Alexander. But the reporter kept on prodding and dig ging patiently until Ire gained the con whose name will probably never be known. From that time on Ferguson had the situation in his own hands, and what followed is thoroughly known to the American public to-day, having resulted in the greatest up- heaval ever known in the history of American finance. Compelled, by the persistent revelations Ferguson was making. to undertake an investigation, Francis Hendricks, superintendent of insurance for the State of New York, filed away a lengthy document con taining the testimony he had taken; and it remained for Louis Seibold, an- other World reporter, to procure a copy of this secret report, which made the longest "story" ever run" in newspaper about single incident 112,O00 words. It is still matter of keenest speculation among the news paper men of New York how Seibold obtained possession of copy of State document, and it will be, prob ably, mystery forever. Reporters of Seibold's type never betray confidence. Were the secrets of MesSrs. Ferguson and SeibOld known concerning the great insurance exposure, they would, undoubtedly, make good reading, but these men made pledges of confidence for the public good, and it goes with out saying that those pledges will die with them.-Success Magazine.
