STUDENTS JUMP TO
SAWI THEIR LIVES
OTTAWA,Out. Dec. The Ottawa
University in this city was totally de
stroyed by fire early today. All that
retuaiuH of the maguiliccut stone
building which was one of the sights
ot ttie eastern part of the city are por
tions ot the walls. The loss is esti
mated at f'<Jsl),<H)o, partly covered by
insurance.
It will be two years before it ran be
rebuilt and meantime it wl ll be itupos
ulble to get a place suitable to carry
on the work of the institution. There
were 450 students at the University,
which was a Homau Catholic institu
tion aud was carried on under the
charge of the clergy. Ot the students
about 350 wore boarders and the re
mainder day scholars Nearly all of
the boarders were from the United
titates, principally Iroiu New Eng
laud.
While the students were at breakfast
in the refactorv about 7 o'clock some
of them saw smoke escaping from the
round pipes. In half an hour tire made
its appearance and soon afterwards the
whole building was in a blaze. Stud
ents and others who had risen early
escaped easily. A number who were
still abed had to take to the tire es
capes in their night robe or jump from
the building into blankets held our by
the firemen below
The fire escapes were all on one side
of the structure and those who slept
on the other side could not reach theui.
They had to jump, some of them from
the fourth and fifth stories. It was in
jumping that the accidents occurred.
All of the students, however, escap
ed with very slight injuries. Two of
the priests were seriously injured and
one, Father Boyon, is not expected to
live.. He was in the fifth story. He
could not reach the escapes aud had to
jump. He fall.on a veranda and roll
ed to the ground,striking on his head.
Father Fulham was on the fourth
floor. He leaped into a blanket held
out for him and sustained slight in
juries on his side. Father MeUurty
was burned on the head and arms but
not seriously. An old woman, a ser
vant, jumped from the fifth story and
was badly hurt.
S. Harvey a student from Bruns
wick, Maine, awoke ouly when his
bed was oil fire. He sprang to the
window in his night shirt and throw
ing his body outside hung to the sill
for fifteen minutes when he was taken
down safely by the firemen. A stud
ent named Culleu jumped from the
fourth story and was slightly injured.
A domestic, Miss Dupuis, was badly
injured.
The students lost all their effects,
it is expected that all will recover ex
cept Father Boyon. The loss is from
1250,000 to #300,000 Insurance jJ.'OO,-

DR. LEE REPORTS ON
BUTLER OUTBREAK
HARKISBUKG, Pa, Dec. ~\ l)r.
Benjamin Lee, secretary of the State
Hoard of Health, who was detailed by
Governor Peuuypaeker to investigate
the typhoid fevet epidemic at Butler,
Nobmitted a report today to the gover
nor, who immediately directed Audit
or General Hardinburg to draw a
warrant for $2,000 from the State em
ergency fund for the relief of the su:T
erers.
This money will be used to employ
a tried quarantine officer of the board
to whom the local board will report
daily every new case aud every death
and the conditions prevailing in the
house in which the disease exists. A
quarantine officer will also Ins.• 111
from a neighboring county to investi
gate the water system and detect, it
possible, any additional sources of
pollution aud to place the information
at the disposal of the local authorities.
Dr. Lee says the epidemic bears all
the marks of a water borne and not a
milk borne, outbreak, and that if is
possible to ascertain the number of
cases. A rough estimate, however, ob
tained by communicating with physi
cians over the telephone,developed the
fact that a little more than half of
them weie treating 585 cases.
Dr Lee found the town completely
demoralized, aud the first thing to be
djne to prevent a further spread ol the
disease was to notify all persons to
boil water Ho says so great was the
demand for medical aid that tor the
past two weeks the physicians had
scarcely visited their homes being oc
cupied day and night with attendance
on the sick
A very considerable number of physi
cians and three health officers of the
town were ill, while the time of the
president of the Board of Health was
to a considerable extent occupied in
caring for sick members of bis ov\it
family

The Borough regards this work a
jiurely its own, hut holds that prop

THE COUNTY
INSTITUTE
Continued from First Page, i
class lie named "Paradise Lost," ami
Shelly's "Prometheus Unbound ' It
requires the pathetic to reveal the
sublime, but care should be taken to
avont all books, in which the author
may have made a vain attempt to put
pathos into a subject which i- in lt
nuture without pathos.
The speaker showed how human con
duct when characterized by devotion
and self-sacritice becomes sublime and
illustrated it by mauy beautiful ex
amples taken from home lite. Man is
made with a finite mind to do (toil like
deeds. A sublime discontent is im
planted within him and hence it i
that lie aspires to risedieyontl the lim
itations by which he is held.
In the afternoon Professor Kemp
presented the tirst of a series of les
sons on tree life as one well adapted
for awakening the interest of hovs
ami girls. He exhibited to the in
stitute specimens of leaves represent
ing white oak, black oak, chestnut,
rock oak and others and found that
there were but few in the room who
•oulii tell which tree was represented
by any particular leaf. The difference
in the contour of leaves is very slight,
bur it can easily be impressed on the
memory. Professor Kemp recommend
ed that the pupils in order to obtain a
more accurate knowledge on the sub
ject be required to draw pictures of
the different kinds ot leaves.
Professor Ward occupied two periods
yesterday afternoon. In his first talk
hi- subject was:"The Novel am! the
Short Story," in his second, "Read
ings for Young People." Fiction of
the right sort, he held, serves a use
ful purpose. In fiction there is es
sentially a clash of contending forces,
but care must be taken that the pict
ure is true to nature and is not ovei
drawn. He has therefore no more use
tor books of the goody-good sort than
he has for vile literature. Above all
in selecting books for children be sure
that they are true to nature and will
not give the inexperienced reader false
ideas of life. Give the boy a healthy
normal story dealing with friendships
between boys and between man and
man. Let liiin read good healthy ad
venture aud even peruse Tliackery,
which will reveal to him that all
things are not what they seem.
There was increased attendance at
the Teachers' Institute yesterday.
Every teacher in the county with the
exception of two were present and
these were detained at home by ill
ness. In addition an unusually large
number of citizens dropped in during
the sessions, so that even during the
forenoon the high school auditorium
was pretty well filled.
Kabbi Adolph Meyer conducted de
votional exercises yesterday morning
The first period was occupied hy
Professor K. L. Kemp with a continu
ation of his subject, "Things to be
I Learned at Home." His talk was
mainly limited to birds, which lie
handled in pretty much the same way
a- the subject of leaves which lie pres
ented on Tuesday afternoon. Instead
of the pressed leaf tie showed the
stuffed or mounted bird and the latter
lesson proved as interesting and in
structive as the former. Professor
Kemp had a large collection and the
teachers were given an opportunity ot
revealing what they know about or
nithology by giving the name of tin
bird a- each specimen was held up
During the talk the structure of birds
was considered HI relation to their
habits, etc.
Professor Yetter yesterday forenoon
varied his instruction on music by
singing a solo, which pleased the in
stitute so much that lie was honored
with an encore. A great deal of valu
able work is being done along the line
of music and a number of the teach
ers have expressed themselves as be
ing much benefitted.
Following intermisson Professor
Ward took up the subject ot "The
Training of the Future Citizen." It,
of course,had to do with the boy's life
at school aud carried out the idea that
too much time is spent upon the intel
lect aud not enough upon the social
and moral development
Taking up Goethe's Faust to il
lustrate the possibilities ot life he re
commended the American translation
by Bayard Taylor, which he pronounc
ed a masterpiece and incidentally paid
a fine tribute to the author, who, he
declared, was the greatest man Penn
-ylvania ever produced.
Beginning with Faust's downfall
and his compact with Satan he graph
ically described his attempt to arise,
the methods he employed culminating
in the splendid service be rendered to
mankind. There is much m Goethe's
cure for the lost Faust, which en
abled him to throw off the shackles of
the Evil One and led him forth as
the purest and noblest type of man
hood, which should be borne in mind by
those who have the training ot the
young in hand. Think of the future
ot the boys—of the possibilities tor
good and for evil that lie before them
Do not lose heart,but like Faust think
of the want and woe around you and
work for the good of others.

could not be detected since her face
was covered. Presently she said:
"Listen to me a moment and the ring
is yours. It is* only lately that 1 came
to lire In the city. I was once a conn
try girl. There was a boy in our til
Ingi*. a daring reckless- spirit, forever
in mischief, and bad he been a soldier
he would have found his vocation.
When he was twenty, he became an ac
tor. I remember the day I parted with
him when lie went on his first theatri
cal tour. 1 had long before given my
heart to tlie wild spirit that everybody
loved, admired, yet at whom all shook
their heads and said, "He'll some day
come to grief." I begged him to curb
his passion for excitement. i<> study Ids
chosen profession, to tie content with
what success he was sure to gain oil
the stage, for he had remarkable talent.
He took me in his arms and confided
to me that he feaied his love for reck
less deeds would kill all steady effort,
but for my sake he would try to avoid
the one and cling to the other.
"He made alternate successes and
failures. Every success was followed
by some wild freak, some desperate ad
venture. One engagement after anoth
er was canceled, and at Inst he was
forced to abandon legitimate endeavor
and gave himself wholly to"
She bent her head and buried her
face in her hands.
The masked face before her looked at
her with a blank stare, rigid as marble.
When she stopped speaking, the man
said:
"At our birth fate marks our courses.
To some it gives the power of becoui
lng merchants, professional men, la
borers all that is honorable even if un
profitable. They are the fixed stars.
Others must be moving, now forward,
uow backward, never steady, always
starting lu an unexpected direction.
1 hey are the planets Itotll follow the
Courses marked out for them. Your
friend, your lover, was doomed from
his birth. If he could have been saved,
you would have saved him
"i>h, Alan, had 1 not recognized you
at once under your disguise 1 would
know you the moment you began to
speak! Why must one so gifted be
dragged down by an unconquerable
defect?"
He stood mute, immutable. He had
selected his good angel for robbery.
Ills decisions Were like lightning, and
like lightning he decided that the
moment he could do so without lutolv
lng her he would send a bullet through
his brain It wa* the woman who still
hoped.
"Alan, try again. Co to some coun
try where you are not known. Live a
steady life for five years"
"And then'.*"
"And then: Send for uie.'
Again there was a silence. A tremor
passed over the man. then a wave of
resolution. Was it only a wave".'
"Mary, sweetheart, for your sake I
will make this trial.
He moved away There was no one
to see behind the plants, and she
showed him by her movement that she
would encourage him with a kiss. He
put her away.
"I am still above permitting such a
sacrilege," he said "Farewell. If I
fall. I will send you a bullet; if I suc
ceed, a heart."
It was four years and six months
after that eventful meeting that Mary
Drayton received a small package by
express. She knew that it contained
one of two tokens, and since the five
years had not yet passed she dreaded
lest she had received a bullet, an em
blem of suicide Tremblingly she took
off the wrapper and revealed a paper
box She dared not lift the lid for a
time and only did so w hen it occurred
to her that the weight was slight.
There, nestling in cotton, was some
thing wrapped in tissue paper, en

gold heart.
Soon after a letter came from Alan
Stanley from Australia bearing the
news that lie was a prosperous sheep
raiser. His talents bad made him
prominent, and be held an Important
office under the government. He did
not ask the woman who had saved hiia
to come to him. but left it optional
with her to permit him to come to her.

WORLD-WIDE
ROMAN JUBILEE
The Roman Catholic church tin
world over will ou December 8 begin
the celebration c»t the fiftieth anniver
sary of the definition of the dogma of
the Immaculate Conception, and the
celebration will last for a period of
one jfat. As yet the local churches
have received no instructions of the
manner of celebration, but it is sup
posed that it will consist of special
sacred missions daring tlie yeui, with
unusually solemn preparations for the
particular feasts of the Blessed Vir
gin ; first Communions 111 the various
churches to be celebrated with more
than ordinary solemnity; spiritual ex
ercises for association and societies;
religioun services in the churches ou
the Bth ot every month , special pray
ers at these monthly services for the
repose of the soul of Pope Leo Xill,
and for the preservation and guidtuce
of the present Pope, and special devo
tions on the part of religious orders
and individual congregations.
The definition which is the cause of
the celebration, was made by Pope
Pius IX, in 18."j4. By tlie definition,
the dogma was made an article of
faith where hitherto it had only been
a pious belief. One of the last otfi
cial acts of Pope Leo XIII was to ap
point a committee of cardinals to ar
range for the golden jubilee ot the
famous dogma.

Dkar SI it:
1 think that every man that has a
team of horses or any stock, ought to
haveabottle of Mover's White Liniment
in the stable or his house. I had a
horse that stepped in a hole with his
front foot, coming down the mountain
with a trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade. That
it swelled so fast that we con Id hardly
get the collar off. and in two hours his
neck was swollen to all the skin would
hold. We used your White Liniment
freely,and in a few days he was to work
again, anil does not show any sign* of
lameness. It worked like magic.
