President Harris told of the advance
which the university is making along all
lines. 1t is a co-educational institution
and in the last few years the ratio of men
to women there has increased SO that 1t
is now about right. The university. he
said, makes an effort always to train men
and women for the good of the community
in which they live rather than for the ac-
emulation of private fortunes. They are
taught to create with the knowledge they
receive, rather than merely to copy.
There are now about 400 students at
the university and the annual income OF
the institution is about SI50.OOO. Dona-
tons have been received during the las.
year amounting to $4,000.

WOMEN AS CAR PORTERS
Chicago Travelling Man Thinks They
Would Be the Best Ever

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Wilson A.
Sprague of the National Travellers
association is the father of the Pull
man porteress" idea.
THE porter knows that the aver
age travelling man when he boards a
Pullman coach at night is dead tired"
he said. Unless he is well tipped he
sees to it that half the bedding is not
in the berth. You give him his tip,
go to the smoker, and while you are
away he robs someone else's berth,
and there you are.
1T looks to me that the best rem
edy would be to employ chamber
maids, women who have worked in
hotels and who know how to fix up
bed so that the occupant is likely to
enjoy nights sleep and rest"

GOES BEFORE NAVAL BOARD
State Authorities Have Nothing to Do
With Case of Boxer Williams

Boston, Aug. 1.-THE Massachu-
sets state authorities having failed
to avail themselves of the govern
ment's offer to surrender David w.
Williams, the negro mess hand on
the battleship Vermont who was one
of the parties to a boxing bout in
which Harrison H. Foster was killed
at Provincetown on July 20, the
naval officials last night sent him to
Hampton Roads, Va. There Will
liams will stand trial before the naval
board of inquiry.
The matter is thus entirely out OF
the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts
authorities, as Williams, if found not
guilty, will be returned to his station
on the Vermont, while if proven
culpable he will undergo naval pun
iShment.

THOUSAND MEN
FIGHTING FLAMES
Sweeping Through Valuable
Woods In New Hampshire

Gambia, n. H., Aug. IA small
blaze in the southern section of the
town. evidently set by berry pickers,
developed into such fierce forest fire
that the shoe factories and other in
dustries of the town were temporarily
suspended that the men might fight
the fire.
About 1000 men are using all man
ner of tactics to prevent the flames
from spreading to the buildings in the
vicinity. The fire has already de-
stroyed more than thirty acres OF
valuable pine woods and seems to be
gaining renewed force.
The fire. fighters are badly handi-
capped by lack of water, many of the
wells and streams having dried up
with the long drought.

CASTRO BUT A MEMORY
Dictator's Name No Longer Revered
by the People of Venezuela

Caracas, Aug. 1.-THE much
heralded appeal of Cipraino Castro to
the Venezuelan congress, which, af-
ter being read in joint session, was
referred by Castro's friends in that
body to a special committee for re-
port, has died a natural death in the
committee room.
Thus last spasmodic effort of the
few friends Of the late dictator to
awaken some sentiment for their
fallen idol has failed, and Castro has
not even had the satisfaction of hav-
ing his words reproduced in the
Venezuelan newspapers, as must have
been his wish.
The systematic spolation of the for
tune which Castro left behind him in
Venezuela has proceeded with such gil
gantic strides that after the first six
months the IS 900, 900 of known as
sets have been almost wiped out.

SERVICES ONCE A YEAR
Ancient Rites Performed by Remnant
Of Once Powerful Narragsnsetts

Charlestown, r. L., Aug. 9.-The
annual custom, long maintained, of
assembling in the old Indian meeting
house here for service and prayer,
was fulfilled Sunday by the few re-
naming members of the depleted
Narragansett tribes of Indians, resi-
dents of this state.
The little group in the church was
much smaller than in other years,
when tribal members from New York :,
Connecticut and Long Island came re-
ligiously to carry out the rites of their
honored fathers.
The little church is opened but once
year. Two services were held. At
each Of the gatherings the ancient and
peculiar rites which have been hand
ed down from past. generatiqns Of
warriors were observed. Although
lacking the raiment of their forefath-
ers, these latter day members of the
tribe retain their impressiveness even
to the smallest detail. -tN1Wl

TRAGEDY IN
A CEMETERY
Shocking Brutality Shown In
Murder Of Young Woman
WAS CH0KED AND BEATEN

Waylaid and Criminaliy Assaulted by
Some One Evidently Familiar With
the LocaIity-Body of Victim Is
Dragged Some Distance and Placed
In Trench Dug For the Occasion
No Arrests Yet Made x,zlA
Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 10.-That
Anna Schumacher, II years old,
whose body was found crudely buried
in Holy Sepulcher cemetery, was
choked and beaten to death after be-
ing criminally assaulted, is the con-
clusion based on the autopsy held by
the coroner, but many of the cir
cumstances of the crime, even to the
exact place where it was committed,
can still be only guessed at.
A broken spade which is relied on
to give some indication of the murder
err was found near the lonely spot
where the victims body was hidden.
The shovel was taken from a shed
at st. Demands seminary, which is
near the cemetery, and it's use lends
plausibility to the belief that the
murderer was not unfamiliar with the
locality. Having secured the spade,
he must have dragged the body into
the shrubbery, and with such care as
was possible in the darkness, dug a
shallow trench, INTO which he later
placed the corpse, covering it with
earth and leaves. This work must
have consumed considerable time.
The autopsy emphasizes the brutal
ity of the crime. The body was in
pitiabe condition-head, face, chest,
arms and hands were covered with
bruises and scratches; the bone that
supports the tongue, the hyoid, was
fractured in the choking and the hair
was full of dirt and leaves, indicating
that the body was dragged some dis
lance, probably by the feet
1t would seem that the girl, who
was of vigorous physique, made a
desperate struggle to save her honor
and her life. On account of the con-
dition of the body it was buried to-
day.
The inquest into the death begun to-
day. In the meantime the city,
county and town authirities are bend
ing every effort to apprehend the
murderer.
The young woman left her home
Saturday morning to place flowers in
the cemetery, which is that of the
Catholic church, and when she did
not return at night her family was
greatly alarmed, as her absence was
quite unusual
A search was instituted, which was
kept up nearly all of Saturday night,
Sunday and Sunday night, until the
finding of the body Monday by two
police officers. Their search led them
about a hundred feet outside of the
cemetery limits, and they were at
tracted to the grave by the freshly
disturbed earth and a piece of white
cloth protruding from it.
The spot where the body was found
was well chosen for concealment. 1t
is back of an old icehopse, and is sur
rounded by wild underground and
trees. The murderer probably believed
that the crime would not be discov.
cred for some time, if at all.

AT the present time we can carry
