He, for one, believed that the first responsibility was not to fulfill the scholastic requirements, but was to attend to the morals of the students.

He told how in his own university students were made to feel that they signed their own dismissals when they entered a place of evil resort.

MARTYR TO YELLOW JACK: Soldier Who Was Experimented On Now h IIopcleftM Cripple. After offering himself without hope of remuneration upon the altar of medical science that further research might be made in the prevention and cure of yellow fever, John It. Kissenger of South Bend, Ind., who is still less than 30 years old, is now practically a confirmed invalid. He is Kuffering with myelitis or inflammation of the spinal marrow as the result of the experiment made and he is unable to go about except with the aid of a wheelchair. - - The sacrifice wasvmade while Kissenger was a soldier in the United States army. The young man eolisled during the Spanish-American war and was mustered into the service as a member of the Indiana militia. At the close of hostilities, when mustered out of the volunteer service, he and a companion, John J. Moran, enlisted in the regular army. At this time the War Department was endeavoring to stamp out or abate j-ellow fever in Cuba. Dr. Walter Reed, a specialist in the disease, was selected head of the board appointed to make the tests, researches and experiments. His assistants were Dr. James Carroll, Dr. Jesse W. Lazear and Aristides Agramonte, a Cuban physician, who, having had yellow fever, was declared an immune. After experiments, during which Dr. Lazear died, the physicians were convinced that a variety of mosquito was the cause of the disease. They wanted, however, to test the theories for the prevention of the spread of the disease and its cure. Hence it w; necessary that others be inoculated by submitting to the bites of the disease-bearing iusects. ; The government volunteered more assistance. A camp, named in honor of the dead physician, was established, and Congress appropriated money to reward those risking their lives in the proposed experiments. It was not necessary to call for volunteers. Messrs. Kissonger and Moran came to the front and offered themselves, first stating in black and white that they did not want pecuniary reward, and that it should not be offered to them." Kissinger was the first to fce inoculated. He was bitten by five mosquitoes, whicii had become infected by biting yellow fever patients. His sufferings were terrible. Three days after being inoculated with the disease, or Dec. 8, 1000, his life was despaired of, but he apparently recovered under the greatest care. Moran had to be infected twice before he was attacked, but he did not have the disease in its worst form. Rut the after effects. were different in the case of the two young heroes. Mran seemingly suffered no ill results. Ftr a time Kisscnger appeared to have recovered completely, but subsequent developments prove contrary conditions. He returned to his army post and served uitil his enlistment expired. Last fall he began to lose strength, and be has .dsaly grown more enfeebled. His legs have uot the power to carry him and they are in such condition that he travels about the house on his knees and uses a wheelchair out of doors. Eminent physicians who have examined Kissenger say that his trouble is the result of the yellow fever experiment. Report on Itoral DellTery. The report on the operations of (be rural delivery service up to May 1 shows thee are in operation 37,.r07 .rural route?, served by 37,447 regular carriers. Hexr York Strike Riot. The principal steamship lines having decided not to grant the demands of the 'longshoremen for higher wages, strike breakers were set to work loading the ships next due to sail and the ocean liners got away on time, though only partly loaded. This greatly angered the strikers and many clashes occurred in the streets along th.- docks. Several lines came to terms with the men and this encouraged the other strikers. Riots also occurred in connection with the strike on the Havemeyer sugar refinery in Rrookljn. strike breakers being attacked as thoy left the factory, the other night. The police were on hand and charged the rjotsrs with clubs. Say There I TVo Soal. In f, public lecture on psychology in the State- university at San Francisco, Dr. R. P. Angler of Yale declared that iccording to his "new psychology," there is no soul or attributes of the foul. The soul, he said, "according to new psychologists, exists only as a logical postulate a merely symbolic abbreviation independently of its expressions and functions of the psj-chic facts themselves." Itccord Diamond Price, j Diamond importers returning from 13aropc say that the price of diamonds is now higher than ever before and that the American demand is almost unlimited. At the same time the South African diamond trust has declared a dividend of 33 1-3 per cent. Steel EarnlnRa $3,000,000.

CHICAGO. Measured by continued heavy payments through the banks the volume of commerce maintains expansion. Money 'conditions have tended toward further ease, but while borrowing has modeiated fclijrht!y, trading defaults exhibit an increase, although there is none of special significance. The important developments this week are found mainly in the course of prices, most raw materials having advanced to a higher level, especially in the metal division, which is led at this timeby basic iron and steel. Distributive operations were stimulat ed by the improved weather. Leading re tail trade made a satisfactory advance in seasonable lines, and the mail orders in wholesale branches compare favorably with those of a y?r ago for dry goods, clothing, boots and shoos and hardware. Country merchants report a satisfactory disposal of spring goods, and with the higher temperature now. prevailing a strong 'demand has set in for lightweight apparel. The markets for broadstuffs re flect extending purchases for Kurope, and a sensational rise in wheat values and the principal coarse grains adds substantially to the wealth of growers, crop mar ketings beir.g remarkably heavy, t . Hank clearings. $207,731,81.", exceed those of the corresponding week in 100(1 by 2G.4 per cent. Failures reported in th Chicago district number 2 against II) last week and 23 a year ago. Dun's Review of Trade. NEW Y0EIC Unseasonably cold or rainy weather is a subject of complaint throughout a wide area, checking retail trade and killing reorder business with jobbers, retarding collections and in connection with claims of damage to crops forcing values of all agricultural produce to high levels. The Southwest, central West, South and leading eastern centers all send reports of backward retail trade, which find reflection in advices of quieter than exported reorders for light summer wear goods, cloaks, suits and millinery from jobbers and wholesalers, and of smaller than expected business for fall in men's wear clothing from manufacturers. Taken as a whole, crop reports are a trifle more encouraging. Business failures for the week ending May IG number 1S1, against 131 last week and 101 in the like week of 1000.
