life was an example that, if closely
followed, would never create rest
lessness, but in the end bring peace.
All who associated with him knew
that he enjoyed that peace. In the
work of temperance he was always
working for the right side. AS he
had himself remarked that he

Last Wednesday afternoon NJ.
Rushton had just completed a
carpet, and had commenced work
on another when Hannum Place
stepped into the shop and inquired
about some wO. k he wished to have
done. Nc. RushtOn had hardly
spoken to Mr., Place when he sud

unconscious Help was Immediate
~ summoned and DR.. Fowler called.
But all that loving hands could do
was of no avail. He never regaIned
consciousness and on Friday morn
ing at 7:15 his spirit passed TO that
bou rne from whence no traveller
returns. Death was due to apop-
lexy. Strange as it may seem, his
fatherldied in the Same manner.
James Rushton was born in Lam
cashire, England, Jan. 81, 1888. He
was one of family Of six boys and
two girls, of whom little is known
here by his relatives. Immigrating
to American in 1862 he settled IN
what is now Platteville township, or
near Big Patch, where he married
Miss Emma Hasleln. About thirty
five years ago he moved from BIG
Patch TO Lancaster and commenced
to work in the wooden mills as
warper. Shortly after the mills
shut down he went at the work of
carpet weaving and kept at it the
remainder of his days. "Jimmie's"
carpets are well known and he
always had more work than he
could do
Three children were born to Mr.
and Mrs. Rushton, of whom only
one daughter is living, Mrs. Thos.

SEARCH FOR LOST
BROTHER REWARDED
James Henshaw of New York at Last
Finds Relative Whom He Had
Not Seen for Twenty
Years

NEW YORK, April 12.-Great is the
joy in the Henshaw home at 204
East Twenty-first street, for last night
the fatted calf was killed for Alfred
HenshaW, who for thirty years had
been lost to his family and living un-
der the name of Alfred Martin. His
brother, James w. Henshaw, assistant
custodian of the appellate division
court building. had been searching for
the missing man for many years, and
yesterday he found him In a restaurant
on Fortieth street, between Broadway
and Seventh avenue. He had some
trouble in persuading Alfred Martin
that he was really Alfred Henshaw,
but finally, overjoyed to discover his
family, he was led home and intro
duced to his sister, Mary, whom he
had never seen.
The tale of James Henshaw's long
search for the brother, who at the
age of 3 was placed in the Home for
the Friendless. and was never heard
from thereafter, leaked into the pa
pers from time to time, and Alfred
Henshaw used to read 1t with interest.
He never knew what his real name
was, nor did he know whether he had
any family alive or not.
1t was owing to the newspaper re-
ports that the lost brother was finally
found, for they came to the eyes or
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry K. Martin of
Thompsonville, Conn, who had adopted
the boy from the asylum and with
whom Alfred lived until twelve years
ago, when he left them to make his
own living. Mr.. Martin sent photo
graph of the missing brother, taken
when he was % years old, to James
Henshaw, and with it to guide him
James searched tirelessly in the cafes
and hotels on Broadway. He had heard
that a man answering his brothers de-
scription was a clerk in a Broadway
cafe. Finally James Henshaw showed
the picture last night to two actors,
Thomas Cotton and Brandon Mitchell.
Both agreed that they knew the origi-
nal Of the photograph.

NEW SYSTEM ADOPTED
BY YALE CORPORATION
Plan Will In Large Measure Be SUBJ
stituted for the Old Policy of
Gifts to Needy Stu
dents

NEW HAVEN. April 12.-The plan Of
the Yale corporation, adopted at its last
meeting and which in large measure
Is expected to be a substitute for the
ole policy of free gifts to needy stu
dents, is annoHnced today. 1t Is the
outcome of a consultation of the Rev.
Newell M. Calhoun, Payson Merrill and
the treasurer. Mr.. McClung, with a
committee of the alumni advisory
board, consisting of F. N. Judson of
ST. Louis, Thomas Thacher of New
York and ]. o. Head of Orange, n. j.
Between $4,000 and $4,000 has been
received from time to time by the uni
versity treasurer as repayments of
beneficiary aid to students, and has
been carried on the treasury books as
a loan account. A loan fund is now
to be established for worthy students,
who are to give for loans their notes,
payable five years after graduation or
other period agreed upon, with interest
after maturity at the discretion of the
person or persons authorized to make
loans.
To the loan fund the treasurer of the
university is directed to transfer 5000
annually for a period of five years out
of moneys appropriated for use as In
come by the directors of the alumni
university fund. But the whole or any
part of the fund thus created may bit
transferred to the general funds of the
university If adequate gifts or bequest'
come In specifically designed for loans
to students.
The sum of $1,000 is appropriated to be
loaned during the coming fiscal year, OF
which $4,000 is to be loaned through the
bureau of self-help to academic stu
dents, and $4,000 through the director of
the scientific school to students OF the
school. any balance remaining from the
last two sums and the remaining $1,000
to be loaned through the treasurer OF
such agency as he may direct. Repay
ments and unexpended balances are to
be added to the fund.
The committee in its report urges
that measures be taken to impress or
beneficiaries their moral obligation to
repay the loans, and expresses the
hope that the creation of the fund Will
lead to such a readjustment of bene-
ficiary aid as to make 1t unnecessary
to draw upon the funds of the uni
versity for gratuities In the way of
remission of tuition or otherwise eX-
cept so far as such funds are given
for that specific purpose" The entire
amount granted for tuition scholar
ships last year in the college was $28,-
591, of which $20,595 was beneficiary
funds and sS0S6 was taken or withheld
from the college treasury. Correspond
ing figures for the previous year were
$32. .104, S19.742. and $12,362. In the whole
University the beneficiary aid of all
kinds amounted to 1888, as returned
by the university treasurer.
