SOCIETY LEADER, WHOSE EXPERIMENTAL FARM FOR SUF FRAGISTS IS FAILURE. OFFICIAL NAILED TO CROSS. Mexican Indians In Revolt Crucify President of Town. Mexico City — Wenaceslao France, president o f Acola, a small town in the state o f Chiapas, was crucified by the rebellious Chamula Indians when they sacked that place last Saturday, according to a telegram received by El Imparcial. The news came from Tuxtla Gutierrez, the state capital. Two persons were wounded fatally and many others injured in riots here following the return o f F. I. Madero from his speaking trip in the south. General Madero and his candidate for the vice presidency, Jose Pino Suarez, received a noisy welcome. They were escorted by marching clubs with bands to the Madero home. Crane's Cry Indorsed. Lincoln, Neb.— Decrying the abuse o f intoxicants at university social functions, Chancellor Samuel Avery, at the convocation at the University o f Nebraska, declared he agreed with recent utterances o f R. T. Crane, of Chicago, as to intemperance in educa tional institutions. “ It is true,” said Chancellor Avery, “ that student life is everywhere characterized by some undesirable features, and always will be, since education cannot well be deferred until the student has become as staid as his parents.” Steel Trust Chief Talks.

Boyer, alias Fagin, who is alleged by the police to have been conducting a school for crime, teaching young boys to steal, was convicted o f grand larceny in the Superior Court by a jury, the majority o f whom were women. He was spe cifically charged with short changing an old man out o f $80. The jury was out but five minutes, finding him guil ty as charged. The verdict was unan imous. Chinese Rebels Trounced. Cheng- tu, China A serious engage ment between government troops and the insurgents occurred at Shwang Liu, 10 miles south o f hero.

P. Belmont When Servants Are Discharged and Girls Made to Do Housework. They Lose Interest. New York—The experimental farm and agricultural school for young women, established as a suffragist institution by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont and maintained by her, is a failure. The young women who forsook draw ing-rooms to uplift agricuture have come back to town and the farm at Hempstead, L. I., will cease to be either a school for rustically-inclined girls or a branch of the suffrage move ment. From what has been said by the young women who peeled off their farm duds, put on their fall frocks and came to the city this week, the ex pense o f maintaining the experiment station palled upon Mrs. Belmont. The staff of teachers and servants was cut down and the students, many of whom come from wealthy families, were compelled to scrub the floors and milk the ;cows. These tasks palled upon the students. .They were glad when Mrs. M. A. Morgan, the society leader's confidential clerk, told the students o f Mrs. ¡Belmont’s determin ation to close the school.1 The first to leave under the order was Miss Leonora Brokaw, known as the prize pupil o f the school and spe cial favorite of Mrs. Belmont. Miss Brokaw said she was amazed a few days ago, when informed of the society leader's intention to close the school. “ I consider ’my summer wasted,” said Miss Brokaw. “ I went into this thing seriously. The scores o f girls who were enrolled at different times in Mrs. Belmont’ s school signed a con tract stating they would abide by the rules o f the farm, and in this contract Mrs. Belmont promised to teach them all branches o f farming, including a course in cooking. " I never did housework in my life ,” said pretty Miss Brokaw, cousin of Gould Brokaw, and member of the well-known and wealthy family of Bernardsville, N. J. “ Imagine my as tonishment, ” remarked Miss Brokaw, when, a few weeks ago, after a use less summer, Mrs. Belmont discharged all the help at the farmhouse and com pelled us girls to do the housework. Why, just look at my hands! I scrub bed and oiled floors and washed dishes; just fancy! The school’s failure,” said Miss Brokaw, was due to lack o f manage ment. Mrs. Laura Williams, the su perintendent o f the school, left about six weeks ago. Since then we have had no head; we just drifted for our selves.” Filled with the name and the fame of of the Puritan maiden Priscilla; Every sentence began or closed with the name of Priscilla, Till the treacherous pen, to which he confided the secret, Strove to betray It by singing and shouting the name of Priscilla!

Ruins of Battleship Maine Are Cleared o f Slime. Havana—The Maine was destroyed by an external explosion. There no longer remains any doubt as to the manner in which the United States battleship was sunk in this harbor on the night of February 15, 1898. The cofferdam about the wreck has been pumped out and the mud cleared away to a greater extent than ever before. The clearing away o f wreck age reveals the double bottom o f the ship with part o f the keel standing in a perpendicular position 28 feet higher than the natural position. This perfectly confirms the report and testimony which Ensign Powel- son gave before an investigating board after the disaster and which was based upon reports made to him by divers just after the explosion. It is indicated by engineers here that such a tearing o f the ship’s bot tom could not have been produced by an interior explosion. It is further said that no regulation military mine could have wrought such terrific havoc. It must have been a huge mine, as Captain Sigsbee and others suggested at the time; perhaps a sug ar mill boiler or large cask loaded with explosives.

Trying to mask his dismay by treat ing the subject with lightness. Trying to smile, and yet feeling his heart stand still In his bosom. Just as a time-piece stops In a house that Is stricken by lightning. Thus made answer and spake, or rather stammered than answered: “ Such a message as that, I am sure I should mangle and mar It; If you would have It well done—I am only repeating your maxim— You must do It yourself, you must not leave It to others!" But with the air of a man whom noth ing can turn from his purpose. Gravely shaking his head, made an swer the Captain of Plymouth: "Truly the maxim Is good, and I do not mean to gainsay It; But we must use It discreetly, and not waste powder for nothing. Now, as I said before, I was never a maker of phrasea. I can march up to a fortress and sum mon the place to surrender. But march up to a woman with such a proposal, 1 dare not I’m not afraid of bullets, nor shot from the mouth of a cannon, But of a thundering ‘No!’ point-blank from the mouth of a woman. That I confess I’m afraid of, nor am I ashamed to confess It! So you must grant my request, for you are an elegant scholar, Having the graces of speech, and skill In the turning of phrases.” Taking the hand of his friend, who still was reluctant and doubtfuL Holding It long In hts own, and press ing It kindly, he added: “Though I have spoken thus lightly, yet deep Is the feeling that prompts me; Surely you can not refuse what I ask In the name of our friendship!" Then made answer John Alden: "Thw name of friendship la sacred; What you demand In that name, I have not the power to deny you!" So the strong will prevailed, sub duing and molding the gentler, Friendship prevailed over love, and Alden went on his errand.
