his hands eager to learn all that Ameri-
can girls of their age know. the Minister
decided that the business of his Office
might bs materially interfered with by
following the same plan and 30 he leased
a big house and turned his young charges

The first thing that happened in the
Minister'S home was wedding between
his son and the eldest daughter of tho
former envoy. This. however. had all
been arranged over in China. But the
festivities attending tho wedding gave
he other little maids additional thirst
for fun. and the new Minister has about
as much as he can do, and sometimes
more TO look after his official duties and
keep an eye on the youngsters.
When the Minister'S first daughter
was born, just sixteen years ago she re-
ceived the name OF Lily. When the

NEW COLLEGE ASSOCIATION.
Little Chance for Columbia to Join with
Other Local Institutions

There is little or no possibility OF Colum
bias joining tbs recently organized asso-
citation of New York city colleges for the
promotion OF athletic sports, according to
the athletic authorities ON Mornin gside
Heights. IL is felt at Columbia that any
action of this sort would result in a curtail-
ment OF the Blue and White schedules with
larger institutions outside of the city, for
a series of games In any sport with loca
teams would make IL necessary for Columbia
TO drop some OF its older and long esta b.
ished com petitions. Such n sacrifice would
be too great for the benefits derived from
meeting the smaller local colleges.
This attitude Is not taken with any idea
OF dropping the local teams, but ON the
York institutions that can be arranged for
early season work will be taken on, al
though that Is about as far as the Colum bia
authorities feel they can go. Another
thing that hindeTs Columbia IL IL joined the

the Columbia teams to Ike part In a series

Slashes Wife and Himself.

Cincinnati, July 25.-Dr. William
Burnley, a dentist who recently NOV
ed here from Richmond, Va, cut his
wife's throat tonight and then
slashed his own throat inficting in
juries that will probably prove fatal
in both cases.
Burnley's tragic act is attributed
to craze from the extreme heat.
Mrs. Burnley was barely able to
stagger to the door of their fiat and
call for help before collapsing from
loss of blood In the meantime Burn
ley used the same weapon, a razor, on
himself and was found bleeding to
death in the bath room from gashes
in the throat.
The Burnleys came to this city
about three months ago from Rich
mond, Va. 1t is said that both are

girls, who are at boarding school

KILLED IN CLINTON.
Slayer Alleges that Victim Ruined
His Home.

One of the most sensational kill
ings that has ever occurred in Clin-
ton happened Saturday, when W. T.
Gregory, a resident of the Lydia
Cotton mills village, shot and in
stantly killed Cal Furr, who for the
past few months has been living at
the Clinton Mill village. The
shooting, it is said, is the final re-
suit of trouble that has been brew
ing for some time between these two
parties. Gregory claims that Furr
had ruined his home Up to about
four months ago Furr was living
about Lydia, when, it is said, he was
forced to leave on account of this
trouble.
At about so o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon Gregory was standing just
in front of the store of T. c. Sum-
merell & Brothers, when Cal. Furr,
leaving the Bee Hive Racket store,
which is just across the street, and
not seeing Gregory, came directly
towards him. Upon perceiving Furr,
it is said that Gregory, without pass
ing any words whatever at once drew
his gun and began firing, the second
shot striking Furr in the hip, caus-
ing him to fall. Furr drew his pis-
tol as quickly as possible and fired
three shots, all of which missed ex-
cept one, which passed through
Gregory's right hand, between the
third and fourth fingers.

Cotton Crop Will be Poor.

Memphis, Tenn, July 24.-The
Commercial Appeal will tomorrow
Print this summary of cotton crop
conditions:
"The week gives mixed and rather
uncertain returns from the cotton
fields. Considerable improvement at
tendant upon dry weather is shown
in Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi
and Arkansas, while northern Louisi-
ana is rounding into state of fair
promise.
"The Carolinas and Georgia suffer-
ed from heavy rains early in the
week, so little cultivation was done
on the later days, while Texas and
Oklahoma, without rain, are ap-
preaching a time when the crop may
suffer. In fact, some loss has already
been sustained in southern and north
western Texas.
"In the central and eastern States
the crop is being Laid by in a rath-
er poor condition, some of the fields
still being very grassy. Ten days
without rain would permit of rather
considerable improvement, but the
crop has received much less work
than it would have gotten with nor
NAL weather. The plant remains
small and seems late. 1t has put on
little fruit, and in many places has
not begun to bloom freely. Estl-
mates on condition seldom run high
er than IS per cent, and are often
below this. There are limited dis
tricts in all the valley and Atlantic
States, however, that give good &C
