Dr. James !l. Day, Chancellor of Syracuse University, spoke to a crowded house Sunday afternoon at the Harlem branch of the Young Men's Christian association. He scouted the idea that the country was in a state bordering on commercial and industrial stagnation. He contended that, ater all, (his is a good world, and altogether well worth living in. 'Wouldn't you rather live here than in heaven?" asked the Chancellor. '"I would, but I'd like to go to heaven when I can't be here. In fact. I think I'd be rather discontented in heaventill I got adjusted. You can get anything you want here; you can live under forty-odd governments, meet all the nations of the world, eat all the fruits of the world, and get any kind of climate that you choose. So America 13 the best place to live, but I think when a man can't stay here any longer, he ought to steer for heaven. "For my part, I've never been very much fascinated with the idea of corner lots and mansions in the skies, and songs and harps and such things. I like a place because its busy, and the more business there is the better I like it. Give me lots of work and lots of people to oppose me, and then I'm kappy." WAS A "WHITEWASH" Official Investigation of Collinwood Disaster Was Not Thorough. AN APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT. Cleveland, O., April 6. A committee appointed by Collinwood to investigate the school horror of March 4 last, has announced that an appeal has been made to President Roosevelt to make inquiry to fix the responsibility. The committee declares it an outrage that the county officials have failed to determine who was at fault. "For a month now," said D. O. Baldwin, chairman of the committee, "we have been investigating the Collinwood fire, and are convinced that the official investigation was a whitewash In every detail. Every appeal to the county officials to take some further action in the matter has met with refusal. Now we intend to carry the matter higher up." ORIENTAL CLUBS. Wkr Almoit Ay Saetarfr For Amy Parpoie Cnm Sneered. The oriental I passionately fond of rlub Itfe, and the smaller the degree ef personal liberty be enjoys in ordinary life the more tatense is his enjoyment of membership in some brotherhood. It does not make very uch difference what the nature of the club may be; It Is the mere Joy of club life. Irrespective of object or principle, that appeals to him. Flaring once tasted this Joy, he will do much rather than forego a continuance of it. Oriental society is so constituted that the family or clan Is the social unit and not the individual. A man cannot be alone In his punishments, for they are also visited In greater or less degree upon his relatives as well. He cannot enJoy or sniffer alone. Now, a club or society Is a much smaller organization than society as a whole, and the Individual forms a correspondingly larger fraction of it. This is an Immense stimulus to self esteem. The man becomes somebody. This explains why almost any society, irrespective of its object, can instantly gather a numerous and enthusiastic constituency. Any man with a little tact could go out on the streets of Seoul and In twenty-four hours establish a society for the cultivation of mushrooms on thatched roofs, with president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and executive committee complete and a membership list as long as a pise of string, if not longer. Why? Simply because membership in "any old" society does just a little to lift a man out of the humdrum of Ufa. Korea News.

MISS HELEN E. FLACK. Miss Flack is under arrest in New York City, charged with grnnil larceny. Her employer, Joseph E. Kllery, alleges she appropriated to her own use the sum of $15,000. Miss Flack says she was never paid any salary and regarded herself a partner in the business, having built it up for her employer.

Seven Hundred Dollars for Funeral Expenses Gambled Away. POLICE ARE APPEALED TO. Atlanta, Ga., April . Alleging that he had been "matched" out of $700, which had been intrusted to him to pay the hospital and funeral expenses of a friend, James Goodrich, appeared at police station today and asked for the arrest of two men who had swindled1 him. Goodrich came to Atlanta to be with J. A. Alford, of Miami, Fla., who was there in a sanitorium. Alford died and Goodrich remained here to settle for all the funeral arrangements. Alford's family sent $700 to pay hospital and undertaker bills, and Goodrich was going to the undertaker when he met two men, who proposed that they "match." He accepted, and they began matching for ?U a throw. Goodrich says he lost every time and was finally cleaoed out. FIGHTING FOR THE Some Think Pennsylvania Men Must Be Dead. Frecland, Pa., April 6. Rescuing parties are working in short relays, fighting desparately to find a way by which entrance caai be effected to the chamber of the Highland mine wherein John Tokosh and John Waschinick, miners are entombed. Opinion is divided as to the possibility of the men being still alive. There have been no rappings heard, but this is accounted for by the fact that sound would not travel through the soggy earth filling the opening. Two Klnda of Imomila.

REMEMBER
MAINE
Monument May Be Erected in Honor of Brave Men Who Lost Lives on Ship. OLD PLANS ARE REVIVED. New York, April 6. After being in obscurity' for nearly 10 years the proposal that a monument shall be erected to the victims of the Maine and the Spanish War has been revived. Those having charge of the fund have applied to the Park Commission for permission to erect the monument, and plans for the monument have been submitted to the Municipal Art Commission which will act upon the matter soon. While the plans have not been made public, it is understood that they contemplate the erection of an arch and a shaft, the arch to be at one of the entrances to Central Park, and the column just within the park. The estimated cost is about $101,000. The architect is V. Van Buren Magonagle. It is said to be the plan of the promoters to invite President Roosevelt to lay the corner stone. THE GUANACO. A l'dtagoninn Animal That Seeks Ita Own Graveyard. It seems from the accouuts given by Darwin and by W. H. Hudson that all the guanacos of the southern part of Patagonia must resort when the hour of death approaches to a certain spot in a certain river bed which has become a perfect mausoleum of their bones. Mr. Hudson notes that it is only the guanaco of the southern extremity of the South American continent that has this habit, a habit restricted to descendants of forefathers who lived in an extremely rigorous climate. Mr. Hudson conjectures that among these forefathers the instinct grew up when the stress of hunger and cold was very dire of resorting to this sheltered place in the river bed, where they might find warmth in their own closely collected numbers and possibly food. By a continual survival of those which betook themselves to this place of refuge the race Instinct would be formed of resorting thither when they felt the tides of life running low. This feeling, Mr. Hudson argues, their descendants are likely to experience now at the approach of the hour of death. But now it is no longer just a passing spell of extreme cold that leads them thither. The death call has come, and they must lay their bones in the common mortuary. It is not "in order to die" that the guanaco seeks this place; it would be nearer the truth if we were to say it was "in order t live." But the most true account of all is that it is in mere obedience to the ini herited instinct that the guanaco re- ; sorts to this refuge. 1 Yet another instance of tWs mysterious guidance is afforded by the habit i of the rattlesnakes in the colder coun- ! tries to assemble together for hibernation in caves. These snakes on emercI ing from the caves cover long distances in their wanderings, their young are generally born far away, and yet these young succeed Hi finding their way to the caves with the gr5atest certainty.

Catholic Churches in Richmond Had Appropriate Exercises Yesterday.
A PERIOD OF MEDITATION. FROM THIS TIME UNTIL EASTER, MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH WILL IN SPECIAL MANNER FOLLOW IDEA PRETTY CUSTOM. Passion Sunday was observed itnthe Catholic churches of this city in the customary manner yesterday. There were large gatherings at both St. Mary's and St. Andrew's churches. Passion Sunday represents the beginning of the Passion tide, the name given in the liturgy of the church to tiie last, two weeks of Lent. This Sunday is so called because the church from now until Easter Sunday occupies itself in a special manner in meditation and in veneration of the Passion of Christ. The visitor to a Catholic church in any" part of the world, looking at the altar, will notice that the Crucifix, with its figures of the dead Christ, is veiled with a violet cloth. What is the meaning of this? It is learned from St. John that many of those who ne witnesses of Christ's miracles went under the influence of jealousy, to the Pharisees to inform them of what had happened. The death of the Savior was decided upon From that moment, Christ had to flee and hide himself. To express this unheard of humiliation the church veils the cross, and the fifth Sunday of Lent is called Passion Sunday, because, in fact, the way of sorrows for Jesus Christ began, in the council hall, w'.iere the black plots against His life were woven. So the church represents figuratively what the Gospel, which is read on this Sunday, relates "But He hid himself and went out of the temple." The church calls to our minds this event. For that reason it withdraws the picture of Christ crucified by veiling it. The color of this veil is violet, the color of pennance. Christ put on the garment of pennance in order to atone for his followers' Kins and to reconcile them with God. There Is nothing so sublime in the history of religious thought and human seeking after truth as what is offered every year at this holy time by the church. The crucifixes are covered, in remembrance, that from this time until His entrance into Jerusalem Jesus walked no more openly among the people. This veiling of the picture of the crucified also reminds one of the profound sorrow of the church over the bitter passion of Jesus. TASTES IN CIGARS. om Men like Their Tobacco Mwlat and gome Like It Dry. The public taste for cigars varies In different localities and countries, and In all the large factories cigars are conditioned to suit the demands of tbe country to which they are to be sent. In Europe, more especially in the British isles, the consumer of cigars requires that they should be dry in fact, almost brittle. It is a common Incident In that country to see a smoker take his cigar and place it to his ear to see if it will give forth a crackling sound, and if it does not crackle the cigar is considered too moist. Pipe smoking tobaccos, however, are required very moist. In the United States the proper condition for cigars and pipe smoking tobaccos is just the reverse. The American smoker requires his cigars In such a condition that the wrapper, binding and filler will yield to the pressure of the fingers without cracking or breaking the wrapper, while, on the other hand, the smoking tobaccos, especially the granulated tobaccos, must be moderately dry. j Various methods are employed for i keeping cigars and tobaccos In the proper 'condition, but up to the present time no method has been dev!sd that will act automatically. Both manufacj tured tobacco and cigars are suscepti- ! ble to climatic conditions, and It rej quires the constant attention of the ! manufacturer and dealer to regulate ! the moisture in his stock cupboard or showcase. In retail stores great trouj ble is experienced in keeping the air In the showcases in the proper condition, especially when these are coul stantly being opened. In warm wet weather more moisture is admitted than is needed, while during the cold winter months the cigars are apt to become too dry, especially in the upper part of the showcases. Science.

il. SOUTH IN A RAGE Sunday Was Desecrated by The Lynching of Two Colored Men. COMMIT SHOCKING DEEDS. Wesson, Miss., April 6. John Burr, a young colored man, was lynched near here Sunday by 500 men for the murder of a 12-year-old white boy. According to Burr's confession and the story of an eyewitness, he waB fishing in a mill pond when Earl Smith, the 12-year-old son of J. W. Smith, a planter, approached and began a conversation. Burr was an employe of Smith's father, and he said to the boy: "Look up; look at the bird." As young Smith gazed skyward the colored man shot him in the back of the head with a shotgun. Burr threw the boy's body Into the mill pond and fled, but was captured by officers and was on his way to jail when just as the day dawned 500 men took the prisoner from the officers. He was hanged from a tree and several shots were fired to hasten his death. Hobile, Ala., April 6. Walter Clayton, a colored man, who was serving time at the stockade of the Hand Lumber Company for manslaughter, attacked Mrs. Joseph White, 20 years old, and was lynched by a mob of seventy-five men outside the limits of Bay Minuette. The attack occurred at the woman's home, six miles below Loxley. Clayton entered the house, it is said, and choked Mrs. White. He returned to the convict camp, where he was arrested. The officers hurried him to Bay Minette, county seat of Baldwin county. As they approached the jail seventy-five men came from behind a fence and took charge of the prisoner, dragging him and the deputy seventyfive yards before it was discovered the men were handcuffed together. The deputy was then released and the prisoner carried away. His body has not been found. Mrs. Knaggs What ye wearin' that black band round yer hat for? Mr. Knaggs That's for your first "usband.

C. HASEMEIER CO.
OF COLLEGES Indiana and Purdue Medical Colleges Joined Under One Head. INDIANA HAS CONTROL. Meeting Sunday at the Grand Hotel, President W. L. Bryan of Indiana University, and President W. H. Stone of Purdue University brought about a consolidation of the Indiana Medical College and the State College of Physicians, ending a war of rivalry of about two years' duration. The new school will be under the direction of Indiana University. The Indiana Medical College is known as the Purdue School of Medicine and the State College Is affiliated with Indiana University. In the merger both schools made concessions. A complete course in medicine embracing four years will be maintained in Indianapolis. Also there will be a two years' course at Bloomington. The first two years may be taken either in Bloomington or Indianapolis. It was upon this point that the break came between Indiana University and the Indiana Medical College four years ago when an attempt was made to bring the medical school under the wing of Indiana University. A Famous Old Mansion. Ilali Barn, in Bucks county, England, is a big square house in Queen Anne style, with stone facings and pilasters. It was originally the home of the poet Waller, and the great statesman, Edmund Burke, spent many holidays there. The dagger which Burke threw down on the floor of the house of commons in 1790 during his speech in support of his aliens bill is in the hall. It was in the dining room at Hall Barn that Oliver Cromwell in a temper flung his napkin In the face of Waller's royalist mother for reproaching him with the execution of Charles I. The most perfect Turkish bath in the kingdom is another remarkable feature of the house.
