UNIVERSITY PARTICULARLY EXCELS IN PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT. While the Intellect Is Not Neglected at New Harcn the Muscles Becelve Careful Attention--A Model Gymnasium Dai scribed--Methods of Training. There are plenty of persons, including those in charge of the institution of course, who consider Yale college the finest educational establishment in the United States, if not the world. So far as mental training goes, however, there are many who, while having great respect for Yale, do not fully concur in this view, and perhaps this is a lucky thing. Otherwise the rush of students to Now Haven town might be so great as to overwhelm the settlement and kill the college by simply smothering it to EXERCISING THE HSDOttMAL MUSCLES.

death, while and Cornell, Ann Arbor and Princeton, De Pauw aud California and all the other universities, Tig and little, would be killed by inattention. Bnt in respect of-physical training all who have examined Yale's plan and plant and talked.with the accomplished men in charge agree that Yalo is at the top. It does not follow if this be true that Yale students will win every trophy offered at every intercollegiate contest in athletics, that they wilj row the ast- fest at every boat race, that they will faiake most runs at baseball or pile up the biggest scores at football. Indeed they might fall behind in all these things and the proposition still be true, for it is not asserted that the system of physical training at -Yale makes sure game winners, nor was the scheme laid out with that for its only or chief object. Tho physical work of the students in Yale's gymnasium is performed for the sole purpose of giving to tha young men who undertake it tho best possible bodily foundation for the postgraduate course that all must take in the hard school of this world--of fitting them to endure, of building up nerve and muscle, so that they will be not only clever and cultivated, bub strong, s'elf reliant and Healthy as well.

In order "to produce- this result gymnastic work has placed upon the -same basis" Yale as any other study. at- this use, of the word i3jvj proper development of the profouncl and important more thorough mastering of wlrich would do away with the necessity for'more'than half the doctoring that is' nosv needed and reduce the number of hospitals" at least one-third No student is required, however, to take any pare in the gymnasium work. Every one who does is first carefully examined and measured by J. W. Seavor, M.

D. To every one who needs ib Dr. Seaver gives a prescription card upon which is written a diagnosis of the student's physical condition and needs. If his heart is weak, his liver torpid or his indigestion out of order, if his muscular development is in any degree defective for a person of his size, if. there is incipient curvature of the spine, if his eyesight or hearing is below the standard, the facts are stated upon the card, together with the treatment that should be undergone for the rectification of the defect, the various entries on the card in fact, the entire range of tho perfect physical man.

When, after mastering the card, the student understands his weaknesses, he is next given a manual of instruction prepared by "Dr. H. S. Anderson, to whom the actual training is intrusted, and then tho student is put through such a course of exercise as experience shows is especially adapted to bis case. For instance, the student suffering from indigestion and dyspepsia is caused to take measures to strengthen the muscles of the stomach, sides and abdomen.

Among other things he is told to lie on his back stripped and raise his Eeet so that his legs shall be perpendicular without moving his head, body or arms in any way. Then he is told to lie on his back as before and raise his head aud body without lifting his feet from the floor or using his arms. Many persons are greatly surprised on trying either of these for tho first time to find it a well nigh impossible achievement. Of ular pnysiclaus an the advantages of careful training and long practice in their present jaositioas. Dr.

Seaver is especially expert at physical examination and measurements, and more than once has taken 50 measurements in five minutes. The examination does not stop at mere measurements, however, important though they may be. It includes everything, and students who have been found by Dr. Seaver to be of defective hearing have been, permanently relieved by tho removal of foreign substances from their ears Poor eyesight has been found and improved or cured, rupture has been discovered and cured, or the suffering students greatly benefited, and so on. Dr.

H. S. Anderson is assisted in his practical work by Dr. W. G.

Anderson, his brother, and over Dr. Seaver and both tho Andersons is Professor Eugene Lamb the director of the gymnasium. Though he does none of the actual gymnasium work, its present perfection is largely due to his efforts, for it was Professor Richards who caused the raising of $250,000 for the erection of the gymnasium building, and he is perhaps the foremost authority on gymnastics and athletics in the country. He is extremely popular with tho students, who always speak of him as the "squarest" man in the faculty, and it is to him that they turn whenever a decision not to be appealed from is wanted on some disputed point in athletics. Of the gymnasium as an institution it may ba said that it is the only one attached to any college in America where the work is organized on so thorough and scientific a basis as that which has been imperfectly outlined in this article.

Of the gymnasium's home it may be said that it is a veritable palace, erected for the abode of physical culture. The visitor who enters this admirably devised building for the first time cannot but be impressed by the simple splendor'of tho pure white maible floors and staircases that must be trod before tho gymnasium proper is reached. Afterward this first impression is almost driven out of rnind by the completeness of all the appliances. The baths, the rowing tanks and the offices are all unexampled in their way, but the mam floor with i's every conceivable sort for physical improvement has not its match anywhere. It is almost worth a special trip to Now Haven to see the mam floor of Yale's gymna- HALF CENTURY OLD GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE UNIVER- S1TY OF NOTRE DAME.

Brief Kesume of tho History of a Most NotsiMe Catholic Institution oi tlio Higher Fiery New Birth In 1S79. It was only SO years ago that the Roman Catholic University of NotieDjoe dn Lac--Our Lady of the fiake--was established, "by tho Rev. Ed-win S. Sorirt on a GOO acre tract of woodland bordering the St. Joseph river, in the northern part of Indiana It was at first bnt a small and struggling school, but nova at tho half century mark, it is one of the most notable institutions of learning in the United States.

The first move the direction of establishing Notre Dame, as by common consent it is now teimed, was made in 1830 by tho missionary father, Very Kev. S. T. Br.dm, the first Catholic priest ordained within the boundaries of the republic. With a keener insight than that possessed by many others, ho purchased the beautiful tract mentioned from the government at SJ1.25 an acre with the notion that there a great school should ultimately be located.

Later Father Badin convoyed this tract, which had come to be known as St. Mary's of the Lake, to the bishop of Viucennes In 18-42 the steps in The realization of tho educational scheme were taken, when the prelate conveyed tho property to Father Soriu, on condition that a college should bo established there within a ceitain time.

Winslow of JRacine, Wis Young Seymonr bcg.m his newspaper caieor on the Racine Advocate, and on tho Kaciue Journal acquired a thorough knowledge of the printer's trade. In 1873 he became city editor of tho Milwaukee News and in 1875 became telegraph editor of the Chicago Times.

NEW YOIIK, Juno At the head of the public educational system of the state of New York stands Cornell university, one of the wealthiest and most efficient, at the same time that it is one of the youngest, of Ameiican institutions of learning. Cornell has an annual income of and the value of its property and endowment is 0, 000, 000. In "fact, there are but two or three wealthier universities on the continent.

But notwithstanding its wealth Cornell is compelled to exercise rigid economy to cany out the work demanded of a modern university, and President Sehur- man urges the necessity of laiger endowments and the establishment of new departments and professorships. Cornell is to some extent the state university of New York. It receives the income from the funds arising from the OFFICE 01? DP.

The style of the building's exterior may be termed a "Renaissance application of tho Romanesque''--at least that's what I'm told. It is assuredly a handsome structure, though quiet and modest in tone and design. The swimming tanks are lined with glazed tiles, the rooms are constructed of Carrara marble and the Turkish baths adjoining the tanks are fitted up as perfectly as tho gymnasium proper.

room is to many persons the most attractive apartment in tho place. There aro flags, pictures, baseballs and all sorts of evidences of athletic victories. The bowling alleys are in the basement, and there is a big yard to tho roar of the building and shielded from tho street which is used for practice by the shot putters, tho hammer throwers, etc. In the superb marble Irncd entrance hall before noticed a large canvas painted by a National academician hangs. This is tho only adornment of these walls, and it was presented to tho gymnasium by Chauncey M.

MAIN BUILDING AT KOTKE DAME. portantivork could not have been placed in more competent hands. Father Sorin was a priest of tho congregation of the Holy Cross, a missionary and educational society founded in France late in tho eighteenth century, of station was established in the diocese of Vmcennes in 840 or thereabout: When Father Soriu and his associates, late in November, 184S, first looked upon the site of tha future college, a headquarters for all tho missions of what are now northern Indiana and southern Michigan had already been established at St.

Mary's of the Lake. But despite this preliminary work the task before them was not an easy one To establish an institution of the higher learning is not a lightsome labor even now, and then it was vastly more difficult. Tho story of the slow upbuilding of the present splendid university is most absorbing, but hero it-can only bo indicated, not told. The young college had no endowment, aside from the fee simple in the beautiful tract upon -which it situated, and as yet this yielded no income, so th.it the only money received was the tuition fees of tho few students. The devoted priests and teachers that made lip its faculty were obliged to put up with almost innumerable privations.

and it -was not until 1844 that it was possible to hold regular commencement exercises. It was in that year that the name was changed from St. Mary's of the Lake to tho present title. It was in that year also the legislature of Indiana conferred upon it a regular charter as a. university.

Since that year tho University of Notre Dame has piogiessed steadily. In 1879 it suffered what was at the time believed to be a most serious reverse, for, on April S3 of that year, five university's chief buildings weie wiped out by fire, and with them, invaluable libraries and a great collection of scientific apparatus and relics. But this fho did for Notre Dame what tho Chicago fire did for the wonderful city on Lake Michigan. It marked the beginning of a moro vigorous growth and a wider development. It was almost like a new birth.

By the following September, so rapidly had the recopeiafcive powers of tho institution worked, tho magnificent central building which forms tho nucleus of the present Notre Dame had arisen on the April ashes, and the usual entrance of students took place. Every year during 26 that have elapsed since then new buildings have been put up, and when it was decided to hold a golden jubilee of the institution on June 11 aud the two days following it was seen that tho guests of the university would be bidden to' a celebration amid a cluster of handsome and magnificent stmctmes, almost like a town in extent and far exceeding the promise given a half centuiy ago by the few small buildings then standing. Of tho beauties of Noho Dame, both natural and man made, columns might be written without exhausting the subject. The university stands on an eminence in tho midst of a wide expanse of landscape, biightened by the silver sheen of tho St. Joseph river and the lake from which the institution took its first namo and rendered additionally charming by sylvan sh etches alternating with cultivated fields.

Tho buildings aro said to bo the most valuable owned by any college west of tho Appalachian chain. They include, besides the main builcf- mg, a chapel, which is really a magnificent chuich of beautiful aichitectura design and rich in treasures of religious ait, an academy of music, science hall, institute of technology, etc. The course of study is veiy coinpichensive, the fac ully is made up of exceptionally able men, and tho scientific apparatus and li brary of 70,000 volumes aro of the best The library is now domiciled the main building, but will soon have homo of its own.

The natural way of disposing of the'grant would have been to divide it among the scoie of eager claimants That it was not so divided and friotered away was due to two senators, Hon. Ezra Cornel of Ithaca aud Hon. Andrew D. White of Syracuse. The Head of the Institution Dr.

Charles Kendall Adams, a lead ing American historical scholar, was president of Coinell university from 1885 to 1892, and during his able ad ministration the university grew wit! wonderful rapidity upon the founda tions laid by Cornell, White and Sage Upon his resignation the mantle fel upon Jacob Gould Schurman, LL. D. who had been deai of the Sage Schoo of Philosophy at Cornell. Presiden Schurman has tho strong individuality and depth of character of ex-President White and possesses a magnetism and approachablcnoss rarely found among literary men. In fact, he is as much a man of the world as student.

He has had his own make in the world since he was a boy of IS, and so is never in clanger of losing sympathy with boys, either in college or outside. therefore easy to see that, while President Schurman is one of the foremost scholars and teachers of philosophy in the United States, he is also one of the most practical, men engaged in administration anyVheio. He addresses with equal ease a gathering of philosophers or a meeting of business men. Last year at tho annual dinner of tho New York chamber of commerce his speech was the talk of the evening. A later he was discussing ethics and religion at the banquet of tho Liberal club in Buffalo.

President Schurman is editor of The Philosophical Review, an American periodical which rivals the best philosophical journals of England and Germany. He is also editor of The School Review, and his annual reports are unsurpassed, in their wise and suggestive treatment of college and second ary school studies. His firm grasp of educational principle 1 is already seen in the revision of courses rnado at Cornell last year-. A Cosmopolitan University. Cornell attracts students from all over the world.

Afrer the ecture the trustees, who know that Dr. Collyer had bsen a blacksmith in his arly career, invited him to go into the rmveisity blacksmith shops and give vn exhibition of his skill as a lesson to American youths, who, whatever their ispirations, did not disdain to learn the practical arts which might serve as a oiradation to subsequent training.

Jh response to the invitation Dr. Coll- donned overalls and jacket and velded the horseshoe that is now guarded with so ranch care by the Sibley col- ege airthoiities. A great American jamter, when commissioned to paint Collyer's portrait, heaid of this incident and seized upon it as the scone 'or bis painting. It is said that Dr. lollyer received fiorn the trustees of the university a check for as the rewaid for making the hoiscshoe, or, more properly speaking, for the lesson which ho thereby gave to American youth for all time.

'The Great library. Of the 16 buildings, costing as many hundred thousand dollars, which Cornell uses for purposes of instruction, the one which arouses the most admua- iion among students anjl visitors is the library building, completed in 1891. This building, erected at an expense of can accommodate more than 500,000 volumes and is regarded as the model college library building of the United States. The library now contains about 160,000 volumes, and 80,000 pamphlets and is surpassed by only two or three college libraries in the country. One of those which outnumber it is really less useful because less carefully selected.

Tho well lighted reading room of the library contains ample accommodations for 220 students, who have free access to the open bookcases around its walls. These provide shelf room for a judiciously selected reference library of volumes, compriciDg encyclopedias, dictionaries, treatis.es and standard works in the various departments. The north wing of the library houses the White historical library, a collection of works in many respects unequaled in the United States. From the White li- braiy a visitor may obtain one of the best views of the beautiful Cayuga lake and surrounding scenery. The university is situated upon an elevated plateau, from which the outlook is grand and picturesque.

At the two sides of the plateau streams descend, like wate? at Lodore, roaring aud sparkling and foaming from cataract to cataract into the gulch that deepens through the soft rock nearly 500 feet.

Canada last year sent 49 of her sons and daughters to Cornell-more than to any other college in the United States. Africa, Asia, Europe, Central, and South America all contribute to make Cornell ono of tho most cosmopolitan of American universities. More than one-third of the students who go to Cornell enter Sibloy college, tho department of niecbanioal and elec- tiical engineering, which is named after the late Hiram Sibley of Rochester in consideration of his large benefactions.

The work begun by tho father has been continued by the son, Hiram W. Sibley, Ph whose latest benefaction is the erection of a new stone building, duplicating the main building. Sibley col- lego has an international icputation, and doubtless stands at the head of American technical schools--at least that is the opinion of European critics.

Turning back through the years since the institution began as a- university and looking at its history in the light and in the shadow, the ripeness of its plans, the absence of radical mistakes in the carrying out of its policy and tho rapidity of its material and intellectual development are typical of American civilization in its best form. Today, with 1,700 students on its rolls, with an equipment of buildings that is unsurpassed in America, with a faculty that represents a large number of the best educates, with a variety of departments that recalls the many sided activity of the educational centers of the middle ages, with libraries, museums aud laboratories that compare favorably witn those of institutions established for two or three centuries, with a grip upon the best methods of education which is almost beyond tho roach of an institution weighted by tradition, and with a president who combines great executive ability with lare tact, Oiatorical power, scholarship and unbounded popularity, Cornell university stands on the vantage ground, if not at the head, of American educational institutions.

FALL BIVEK, June 14--The worst catastrophe that has visited this city since the Granite mill fire occurred this morning at the Langley harness shop, a four story building on County street. A new boiler exploded in the basement of the building, blowing out the entire end of the structure and allowing ths upper stories to settle into a mass of ruins. There were about forty-five persons at work the shop The flames communicated with the Tuinslsoon after the explosion and they began to burn briskly. The firemen rushed to the scene and exerted heroic e8orts in their endeavor to rescue tha imprisoned work people. Shrieks from the girls in the ruins were mingled with the agonized cries of their friends who had hurried to tha scene when the first news of the catastrophe spread.

Ambulance calls were sent out hurriedly and every physician who could be reached was sent at once to the scene. The offices and the houses in the vicinity were turned into temporary hospitals. At 9 o'clock the badly charred and scarcely recognizable body of a woman had been taken from the ruins. The fire had been quenched but it waa still smouldering and the work of rescuing went on with great difficulty. At 9:30 it wss known that nine had escaped.

There were over forty-life persons employed, the moat of whom were women. Machinist Trip was among those who escaped. A girl named Jalebert and her sister-in-law, who worked side by side on the third floor, also escajfed, one unhurt and the other with slight bruises. The Jalebert girl says that there was a terrible report, followed by a shock; the roof seemed to lift and then fall, completely demolishing the whole building. She and her sister-in-law were thrown into the middle of the road.

The latter was badly cut about the face and arms. The names of those injured, as far aa known, are. Alice Tremply, Mattie Deroseries, Leah Horton, Adele Dube, Ida LePage, Henry Langley, George E. Davol, Engineer Tripp, Foreman Warren. Mr.

Langley is in a critical condition and has been removed to his home for treatment. The shock broke in the windows of the Stafford mill and injured several cf the operatives. The harness shop is a total wreck, bnt the flames are under control. The badly charred remains of Robert Murray were recovered. The Star music hall has been made a morgue, where Examiner Dolan.

with a corps of physicians, is installed. The, engine waa situated in the northwest corner of the building and was of fifty horse power. At 10:30 o'clock it was estimated that there were at least thirty still ia the ruins. The third body recovered was that of a woman. It could not be recognized.

LIST OF DEAD. At 2 o'lock this afternoon a careful canvass of the employes of the Langley harness factory revealed the fact that four of them were killed outright and two so badly injured that they will die. Following is a lis ot the dead: Adela Dnbe, aged twenty years. Lelia Horton, aged seventeen years. Adolph E.

Bellefuille, aged forty-five years. Eobert Murray, aged twenty-one years, THE SEUICUSLY INJURED. Thomas Barry, skull fractured and face and body badly burned; he will undoubtedly die. Mattie Duroches, bruises and burns; fatally. William Eussell, badly burned.

Alice Tremblay, badly bruised and burned. Ida Lepage, bruises. There were twenty people in the building at the time of the accident. Four were burned beyond recognition, and twelve escaped with hardly any injuries to speak of. establishing the alleged fact that Chaa.
