THE STUDENTS LEAVE
Centenary College Forced To
Close It's Doors.

New Orleans, La, Especially Cen
tenary College, at Jackson, La, has
closed it's doors permanently in con-
sequence of the feuds in the faculty,
the resignation of its president, who
is still lying in critical condition
from wounds inflicted by a professor
of physics in a fight, and the with
drawal of all it's students.
The college was the oldest in
Louisiana, having been founded in
1926 as the Louisiana State College.
1t failed, and soon afterward passed
into the hands of the Methodists,
who named it Centenary College, in
honor of the centennial of Method
ism.
The college was prosperous in its
earlier days and among it's distin-
guished graduates were Jefferson
Davis, president of the Southern Con-
federacy; Judah P. Benjamin, sec
retary of State of the Confederacy,
and most of the prominent Methodist
clergymen of the Southwest. Bis
hop Keener was for many years its
president.
The building will probably be used
as an annex for the overflow of the
State insane asylum, which is also
situated at Jackson, near the college.

MURDERED AND HOME ROBBED.
Woman Found With Her Thoat Out
And Head Battered.

Stafford Springs, CT, Especially =
Mrs. Henry Williams, about SO years
old. was found murdered in her
home, near here. Robbery, appar-
emily, was the motive, and the muir
derer is believed to be a tramp. The
body of Mrs. Williams was found
lying near stove on the floor of the
kitchen of her house, with the throat
cut, head battered and a towel twist
ed around the neck. Near the body
lay knife and a club.
The woman died after a hard
struggle with her assailant, who, it
is thought, struck her down with a
club and then cut her throat, after
which the towel was wound about
her neck.
Following the murder the man
made a systematic search for money,
for the house was thoroughly ran
sacked and a trunk in an upstairs
room was broken open and about
500 in money taken from it. Part
of the money, later, was found on
the lawn in front of the house.
The husband of the murdered
woman, who had been away from
home, discovered the body.

THE SAGE MILLIONS
WILL GO TO THE POOR
Not For The Churches, But Worthy
individuals.
THE WIDOW TO KEEP BUT LITTLE.
Mrs. Russell Sage to Distribute the
Eighty Millions Bequeathed Her
by Her Husband : Says Endowed
Churches Are Indifferent and Negli-
gent-Annoyed By Letters.

New York, Especially Mrs. Rus-
sell Sage will give away the bulk OF
the fortune of about $50, 100000 be-
queathed to her by her late husband
to individuals whom she considers
worthy 1t will not be given to en-
down churches nor to those who write
begging letters.
II shall keep only sufficient of the
fortune left to me by my husband
to live quietly and comfortably" Mrs.
Sage said Monday.
THE fact that churches are endow-
ed put them beyond the necessity of
work, thus making them Indifferent
and negligent along the lines where
Christian institutions should do the
most good l mean to give to those
individuals whom I think worthy.
When / have left only enough to live
comfortably perhaps | may not be
annoyed by persons indelicate enough
to beg for help, as ] am now
II wish to help men and women
of the higher or lower walks of life
who, through no fault of their own,
are so unfortunate as to need assis-
tance and too proud to ask. Such
persons | deem it a pleasure, privi-
lege and duty to aid. Persons who
were faithful and kind to Mr.. Sage
will be remembered as [ know he
wished me to do so. In all my plans
I am carrying out his desires, I am
certain"
Mrs. Sage said that she will do all
she can, however, for struggling
churches and institutions devoted to
the care of the needy and sick.
She declared that she ih-anded to
buy home for a clerk in railroad
office who was kind to Mr. Sage. The
bodies of her paternal grandparents,
now buried on farm near Troy, will
be removed to a cemetery in that
city, and the burial-place of her ma
ternal grandparents, in Sag Harbor,
L. l., will be cared for

DEATH IN TENEMENT PANIC
Mother and Four Children Die In
The Flames.

New York Especially .-Penned in
by fire, four children and one woman
were. burned to death in a tene.
ment-house fire on the East Side
When finally the blaze had been ex-
tinguished and the firemen could
penetrate the building the bodies
of the victims, charred beyond pos
sibility of recognition, were found i'll
the ruins.
The fire started on the second floor
of the five-story tenement at 36e
Madison Street The building is the
oldest type of tenement-house con.
struction, with narrow halls and
stairs and lots of seasoned wood work
Beginning in some rubbish near the
stairs, the fire spread rapidly through
the hall and was soon licking it's way
through the upper floor.
Most of the Is families in the
building were at supper, and there
was the widest kind of excitement.
Policemen were on the scene immedi-
ately, and as soon as the firemen ar
rived helped them in carrying women
and children from the upper floors
down the fire escapes and ladders.
More than SO women were taken
down the fire escapes by firemen.
When the firemen arrived on the
scene almost every window of the
building was crowded with women
and children calling for assistance.
The fire in the lower floors had filled
the halls and stairways with smoke
and cut off the means of escape.
The fire was very hot, and there
were many heroic rescues in the few
minutes during which the people
were being taken from the building.
When the firemen had rescued every
one they possibly could they turned
a deluge of water into the upper
floors, but half hour made little
headway in extinguishing the flames.
