ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE STARTS WEDNESDAY.

More Applications Than Can Be Accommodated—Biulding Improvements Delayed. . St. Joseph’s college will start its year Wednesday, when all the students will have arrived and the first recitations will be heard. The boys began coming last week and are now swarming in from all parts of the country in large numbers. More applications were on file than could bee accommodated and some had to be denied admission this year. The same condition prevailed a year ago. The attendance this year will be from 300 to 320. The members of the faculty, who have been spending their vacations in various places, have all arrived and are now ready for another successful of the college. There were only two changes in the faculty. One was occasioned by the resignation of Father Augustine Seifert, whose place is to be filled by Father Hugo, who has been a member of the faculty for several years. The place made vacant by his advancement will be filled by Father Isador Collins, while Father Linnemap will fill the place made vacant by the resignation of Father G. Hartjens, who has taken up pastoral work and is now at Loretta, Ohio. Fathers Collins and Linneman are both from the seminary, having graduated soirie years ago from St. Joseph’s. There has been considerable delay in the raising of the gymnasium, owing to the delay in securing the timbers necessary. These are now coming and the work will be pushed. Frank Medland, the contract or for the 'brick work, was over from Logansport today, and stated that it will be about two weeks before the building will be raised so that he can start operations. Several of the students were gathered on the campus Sunday and indulged in a ball.game. It- is prob abel that several will be played yet this fall between the secular and religious students.

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSED WITH MONDAY NIGHT PROGRAM.

The Chautauqua closed Monday night , It proved a success in every way and our people have enjoyed the splendid program offered. It is probable that there were five hundred at almost every session after the opening afternoon! The Saturday night and Sunday crowds were very large, probably close to 800 each session. Besides the 500 season tickets the cash receipts exceeded S3OO. The Sunday program was excellent. Mr. Barkley’s crayon work was the most interesting of the entertainment feature. A military academy cadet proved pleasing in rendering the bugle calls used in a military school and camp and on the field of battle. He briefly explained them and this gave general satisfaction. Four girls from Monticello gave pleasing musical numbers afternoon and evening. They are caleld the Junior Quartette and with piano, violins and carnet gave several numbers that were liberally applauded. James Corkey’s afternoon sermon-lecture was “Modern Christianity,” and his subject at night was “America as an Irishman Sees It.” In both he was very funny and logic was good. It is more than probable that arrangements will be made to have the Chautauqua here again next year. The movement was started Sunday night and about 350 tickets Sunday night and about 350 tickets ment and worth the money.

THE LARGE INTERESTS OF INDIANA STATE IN BATTLEFIELDS OF HISTORIC CHATTANOOGA

Chattanooga, Tenn. —The Grand Army of the Republic meets in annual encampment here September 15-20, the dates covering the sanguinary battle of Chickamauga, fought fifty years ago between the Confederates under Gen. Braxton Bragg and the Union forces under Gen. William S. Rosecrans. A reunion of survivors of the battle of Chickamauga will he held on Snodgrass Hill during the reunion, the date to be fixed later. This reunion was changed from Marion, Ind., to Chickamauga because of the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic here in September. Chickamauga battlefield has been converted into a national military park, containing about 7,000 square acres. Through the park the Government has constructed 110 miles of macadam roadway, the roads following the lines of the old roads and trails that existed during the battle of fifty years ago. This park is connected with Chattanooga, ten miles distant, by a high-class boulevard and crest road over Missionary Ridge. Fort Oglethorpe, the largest army post in the country, is situated at the north entrance to the park, and is reached from Chattanooga by trolley cars and steam railroads. The Chattanooga battlefields contain 2,060 memorials, of marble and bronze, historical tablets and markers, the greater part of them being on Chickamauga battlefield. The fields have also seven observation towers, ranging in height from 60 to 80 feet, with spiral stairways to accommodate the observer. Taking the number of military organizations that each Northern state had in the battle of Chickamauga .as a basis of calculation, few states have greater interest in that field than Indiana. That state, in fact, had more troops in the battle than any state except Ohio, counting the organlzatlons represented in official reports. Ohio had 66 organizations in the battle of Chickamauga to Indiana’s 39. The Indiana organizations, with fifty-two guns, were as follows: Infantry regiments: The 6th, 9th, 10th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 35th, 36th, 37th, 38th, 42nd, 44th, 58th, 68th, 74th, 75th, 79th, 81st, 82nd, 84th, 86th, 87th, 88th, 101st.. Mounted infantry regiments: 17th, 39th, 72nd. Cavalry regiments: 2nd and 4th. Battalion: 3rd. Artillery batteries: 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th, 11th, 18th, 19th, 21st. All of these organizations were in the thick of the dreadful carnage of Chickamauga, and suffered severely in killed and wounded. The regiments that sustained the heaviest loss, however, were, the 10th, with an aggregate loss of 166 men; the 74th, with 157. Two Indiana regiments, the 68th and 101st, were the last to leave Snodgrass Hill, having been detailed to guard Gen. Brannan’s retreat from Snodgrass field. They threw their lines between Gen. Brannan and the Confederates, having orders to hold that position until Brannan’s troops had cleared the field fully ten minutes. Lieut-Col George W. Steele, now Governor of the National Soldiers' Home of Indiana, was in command of the l01st regiment, and the 68th was commanded in the battle by Col. Edward A King, although be was not at Snodgrass Hill, having lost his life earlier in the engagement while leading his regiment in a charge on Kelley field. The two regiments obeyed orders, protecting Gen. Brannan’s withdrawal to McFarland’s gap, in Missionary Ridge,

through which the army passed in the direction of Rossville, Ga., en route to Chattanooga. They sustained no loss in this service, although it was deemed a dangerous undertaking. Two months after the battle of Chickamauga Indiana regiments did desperate fighting at Missionary Ridge, and sustained heavy losses. Four regiments from that state sustained an aggregate loss at Missionary Ridge of 547 men. These regiments were the 15th, loss 190 men; 40th, 158 men; 100th, 114 men; 6th, 76 men. All four of the regiments sustained these losses while in the act of storming the ridge under Sheridan and Ewing. No serious engagement was fought by the Fourteenth Army Corps in the Tennessee campaign that did not witness the standards of Indiana on the firing line. The severest loss to the state at Chickamauga was sustained in the death of the brilliant and dashing Col. Edward A King, of the 68th regiment, who was killed in the carnage on Kelley field. He commanded the second brigade of Reynolds’ division, was conspicuous for dashing bravery, and his death was a loss to the service. A shell monument, erected by the state of Indiana, marks the spot where he fell. The state of Indiana has expended $38,000 memorializing the Chicka-mauga-Chattanooga battlefields. Her memorials consist of 39 monuments and 75 markers, all in the Chickamauga battlefield park. In addition to the King memorial, the state has erected a monument to the 72nd mounted infantry of Wilder’s brigade. A monument of like character has been erected to the 101st regiment, King’s division, Fourteenth Army Corps. The 22nd Indiana infantry, Twentieth Army Corps, under McCook, has been honored by its state in like manner. Regimental monuments, memorializing the valor of Indiana’s sons, are seen at various points on the battlefield, and each of these points saw desperate fighting during the slaughter of Chickamauga. The policy of the state in memorializing this battlefield seems to have been the erection of regimental monuments, somewhat similar in appearance and cost, and the result of this policy is a delightful group of monuments that does credit to the state. No visitor to Chickamauga’s historic field fails to observe Indiana’s memorials, as they have been placed at points of greatest interest throughout that battlefield. The field of Chickamauga is a glorious heritage, in which the people of the United States ought to take a greater interest. If the reader will search history for battlefield statistics, he will find that the slaughter of Chickamauga is unparalleled in the history of wars. Chickamauga was a two days’ engagement. More men were killed and wounded during those two days of carnage than were lost in the same length of time on any battlefield, American and European included. The aggregate loss for the two days was about 35,000, the Confederate forces sustaining a loss of about 800 in excess of the Union loss. The closing conflict at Snodgrass Hill, the crater.of Chickamauga, ranks with the greatest events of world wars in which human valor has been embalmed. The union troops under Thomas, Brannah, Gordon Granger and Steedman, and the Confederate troops under Gen. Longstreet, erected a monument to American valor at

Snodgrass Hill that does not suffer by comparison with any fields of glory. The battle of Chickamauga was a victory for Confederate arms, but barren of important results. Indiana’s troops played a conspicuous part in this carnage, and their glory is inscribed on marble and bronze throughout the field.

Among the commanders of various rank from the state of Indiana who upheld the standard of their commonwealth on these may be mentioned Generals Jeff C. Davis, Reynolds, Wilder, Crittenden, Grose, and others. They distinguished themselves at both Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge, two of the deadliest battles of the Civil War. However, if the reader desires to follow the fortunes of Indiana troops in the Civil War, a history of the Army of the Cumberland, and especially the Fourteenth Army Corps, will satisfy the desire. Brilliant leadership, hard and desperate fighting, and loyalty to the cause of the Union characterized the military .organizations from that state, from the battle of Stone's River through the fires of Chattanooga to Atlanta. No battlefields saw harder fighting or heavier losses during the war, and Indiana’s flag was on the firing line at each. The aggregate loss of the two armies on the Chattanooga battlefields was close to 60,000, killed, wounded and missing. Battlefields that have such an enormous loss to their account are of interest to the entire nation. If all the men that were lost, between Stone’s River, or Murfreesboro, Tenn., and Atlanta, Ga., are included in the account, the total reaches far above 100,000. The Chattanooga battlefields include Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, the engagement at Orchard Knob, and Missionary Ridge. These battles returned a total loss of about 50,000 men, divided almost equally between the North and the South, the Confederates, however, sustaining a somewhat greater loss than the Union Army. Missionary Ridge furnished the decisive victory for Gen. Grant. The defeat of Gen. Bragg in this battle opened a road into the heart of the South for the Union Army, and practically ended the war in the Southwest. There was, of course, much fighting from Chattanooga to Atlanta, as Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, who had succeeded Bragg, was making his masterful retreat before Sherman. Kennesaw Mountain, was a deadly battle; so was Ringgold Gap, and other engagements. But the battle of Missionary Ridge struck the South a blow from which it could not possibly recover. Indiana had troops in all of these battles. Hundreds of her sons gave their lives on these battlefields for the preservation of the Union. They were at Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain Missionary Ridge, Ringgold Gap and Kennesaw Mountain, and in the carnage before Atlanta, all of which were battlefields tried men’s courage in the severest of tests. In view of this interest in the Chattanooga battlefields, the Indiana veterans will enjoy the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in September. Battlefield reunions have been arranged already for the of the Union armies. One of these reunions will be held on Snodgrass Hill, survivors of Chickamauga participating. Another will, be on Missionary Ridge of survivors that battle.

HYDROPHOBIA ON INCREASE.

State Health Commissioner Issues i Warning and Gives Advice as to Treatment. Albany, N. Y. —Hydrophobia is increasing fast in this State, it is asserted by Dr. Eugene H. Porter, State Health Commissioner, in the current issue of the department’s monthly bulletin. “Kill the dogs” is the warning of the Commissioner, who says the animate are most dangerous long before they begin to troth at the mouth. “A rabid dog," says Dr. Porter, “displays at first undue lasiness, nnusual affection for its owner. Is disinclined to eat and has a slightly dilated pupil; infection is then possible through the dog’s disposition to be affectionate, the poison being communicable from his tongue into cots or scratches if “kissing” is permitted. The second stage manlfestsvjt‘self in either paralysis, or violence without frothing —which latter is identified with the third and most advanced stage.” The Commissioner says cauterisation is useless, and he asserts there is no cure for hydrophobia except? the Pasteur treatment, which has reduced the mortality tp practically nothing—fifteen one-hundredths of one per cent, in 9,800 cases. “The cure,” he continues, “consists in bringing the human astern to a point of resistance against inoculation of the most active virus through a series of inoculation of virus graded in respect to its activity. Tim brain of a rabid dog is crushed to pulp, which is then exposed to a dry atr mosphere for various periods of time, the dryness being the element Which affects Its 1 activity. Pulp exposed a fortnight is inactive, and in the Pasteur cure two injections of virus from fourteen days’ pulp . are first made. These are followed by injections of yirus from eleven-day pulp, and finally the cure is completed by injections of seven-day virus, which, without the previous inoculations, would cause a rabid oondltion. The patient’s system being brought to the necessary point of resistance, development of rabbles Is checked.” A rabid dog, Porter says, dies in ten days, and rabies in man usually does not develop in less than forty days, so the bitten person has thirty days in which to begin the oure after the death of the dog.
