Denounces Football

President ChamberliD, OF Mckendre
College, 10 his annual report TO the board
of trustees at Lebanon, ILL.,, Wednesday,
entered into a vigorous discussion OF In
tercolegiate athletics, especially loot
ball. recommending the abolishment OF
the game. He declared many institu-
tions of learning are schools of anarchy.
Gas tor the college SPIRIT said Presi-
dent UhamberIiD, 'ft must be admitted
that the argument against such cruel
sport is well grounded If the ch;et object
of the institution of learning is to pro-
mote so-called physical culture at the
expense of human life and the broken
bodies of conte.mnts. 1t is this spirit
which leads to hazing, breaking into
property, keeping ferocious bulldogs
supporting automobiles and other like
designations and modern fads in many
of our institutions of learning. | do moi
wish to be understood as being opposed
to athletics. Physical culture is import
| ant, aud field sports on home held arr

Stuck in Mud and Drowned.

Held fast in the mud, the wa'eF rising
about him inch by iuch, telling OF death
in store for him, Michael Mcdonald, a
young ship carpenter, was drowned in
the Elizabeth river, at Elizabeth, N. J.,
yesterday.
Even as the water rose above his chin
he WAS seen by some men in rowbolt.
who had heard his desparing cres, and
though they bent to their oars IN mad
effort TO reach the side of the drowning
man, they were q moment too la'e.
Swiftly aud surely the tide rose. The
unfortunate man cried aloud for help.
Those in the boat did all that WAS posi-
hle, but they we're yet hundred yards
when the waves closed above the head
and his cry WAS lost. A feS bubbles
only showed where the tragedy had been
enacted.
Mcdonald was walking acrO's the
Long Branch Railroad bridge over the
Elizabeth river Thursday evening, and
must have fallen into the river. The
bridge is little used by pedestrians, aud
the place where he fell is almost Oh
scured by the bulkhead. As he stood
waiting for death several trains passed
over the bridge, but no one saw him,
and his death would have remained a
mystery had not two men in the rowboat
seen his head above the water.
In falling Mcdonald must have land
de Oh his head. He vas covered with
mud. He managed to exIricale him
self however, aud get his head above
the water, tor the tide wss out, or he
wonld have been Immediately drowned.
He made frantic etiorls % reach the
shore, but at each step he sank deeper
into the mire, until the clinging muck
gripped him to the waist. Then, ex.
haused, with death swiftly and surely
drawing upon him, he stood, unable
further TO aid himself Through the
dusk he saw q rOwboat, and his screams
reached the ears of those @ho we're in
it. They saw the speck upon the
water which told them OF 8 drowning
man, and did all they might, but in
vain. The tide WAS running swiftly
against tkem. snd they lost the race
" ith death. When they dragged Nc
Donald from the mud and secured a
physician he was dead. As the body
was being carried into the house a
stranger approached and asked who was
dead. When he was told that It Was
Mitchell Mcdonald the stranger tainted,
and the unconscious man was carried
with the body into the house
He proved to be William Mcdonald,
brother of the dead man, sailor,
who had been thought lost at sea three
years before, but who had returned to
visit his brother aud the home OF his
childhood.

Another Mysterious Murder.

Iu the murder Of Mrs. Alice Kinnan,
a widow, forty years old, at her home
in New York Thursday night, the police
have a mystery that promises to be a
hard one to solve. Mrs. Kinnan, who
had been widow for four years, and
had no children, WAS reading in the
library OF her home, on Washington
avenue, shortly after 9 O'Clock, when
the doorbell on the front doc! rang.
With Mrs. Kinnan at the time was her
mother, Mrs. Louis NJ. Stanton, who is
nearly ninety years old. Mrs. Kinnsn
opeued the door. Her mother remained
in the library, and says that she heard a
mans voice say: Good evening,
madam" At the same time, 50 The
aQtd woman says, she heard her dsngh-
ter ask: "Well, what do you want?'
Mrs. Stanton heard nothing further in
the way of words, but says she heard a
sound like that of body falling. The
old woman called out TO her daughter,
asking her what was the trouble. Get
| ting no reply she hObbled as best sh'
could to the front door. Stretched oul
on the front verands was the body OF
Mrs. Kinuan and blood was howine
from an ugly wound on her head. Al
alarm was given aud Mrs. Kinnsn wa;
removed to a hospital where she died
The doctors said that the woman's skull
had been frightiully crushed with SOM
sort of blunt instrument, such IS an iror
bar or similar weapon. The police ar
at loss for any clew that would lea'
them on the trail Of the murderer. Th
house where the murder was COMMITTED
is known as the Stanton mansion and /
one of the oldest in the Bronx. Ac
cording to the neighbors, Mrs. Stantol
is quite wealthy.

Norwegian National Holiday.

In all probability the greatest of all
Norwegian National holidays in the
future will be on the 18th of June, this
date being the anniversary of the in
dependence of Norway from the union
with Sweden, which took place last
year. Local Scandinavians are making
preparations for an elaborate celebrate
of the event. On that date the Nor
wegian Pioneer Association will hold
celebration and picnic on the campus
at Luther College. Prof. George L.
Flom of the state university of Iowa
will be the principal speaker, and
addresses will be delivered by number
of others. There will be music and a
general good time, and everyone is
cordially invited to participate who
cares to do so.
