TO ESTABLISH COLLEGE
FOR ORPHAN GIRLS
Philadelphia Millionaire
Leaves Big Sum.
PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 25.
—(Special)—By the terms of the will
of Robert N. Carson, who died sud
denly last week in a theatre a school
for orphan girls, similar to the Gir
ard school for boys, will receive a
gift of nearly $5,000,000. The will be
comes effective after the death of
Mrs. Carson. The school will be
known as the Carson College for
Orphan Girls.
The will is almost identical with
that of Stephen Girard’s who founded
the largest college of its kind in the
world. Like Girard’s will, Mr. Car
son’s bequest provides that the insti
tution shall not be controlled by any
religious denomination and that no
religious services shall be held in the
institution that are peculiar or ex
clusive to any church.
To Educate Poor Orphans
The object of the college is declar
ed by the will to be the care, educa
tion, maintenance and support of
poor white, healthy girls, both of
whose parents shall be deceased. In
the matter of admission to the college
preference is to be given equally to
girls born in Philadelphia and coun
ty of Montgomery; after that admis
sions are to be to those born in the
State of Pennsylvania, and lastly to
those born in the United States. The
age of admission is between 6 and 10
years and of discharge from the col
lege at 18 or earlier if the trustees
deem it for the best interest and ad
vantage of the girls.
Subjects Taught
They a-re to be given a good moral
training and taught all the common
English branches, and if any of them
are capable and so desire they are also
to be taught the elements of instru
mental or vocal music. The domes
tic arts, including laundering and
dressmaking, and as far as possible,
the domestic science are to
be taught, so that the girls may be
prepared to take up successfully
housekeeping and nursing. They are
also to be taught wood sloyd work
ing, flowering and gardening, milk
ing, poultry raising, etc. There is to
be no uniformity of dress. The girls
will live in cottages, not above 25
girls in each.
The girls are to be carefully in
structed in the fundamental doc
trines of Christianity and no clergy
man, ecclesiastic or missionary of
any sect is to be excluded from the
grounds, but there is to be no pros
elyting or reference to their own pe
culiar tenets or belief expressed be
fore the pupils.
Henry E. Jones of Tampa, Fla.,
writes: “I can thank God for my
present health, due to Foley’s Kideny
Cure. I tried doctors and all kinds
of kidney cures, but nothing done me
much good till I took Foley’s Kid
ney Cure. Four bottles cured me,
and I have no more pain in my back
and shoulders. I am 62 years old,
and suffered long, but thanks to
Foley’s Kidney Cure, I am well and
can walk and enjoy life myself. It is a
pleasure to recommend it to those
needing a kidney medicine.” Sold by

MATZONI, JAIL BREAKER
TO GIVE EXHIBITION
See the Impossible Next
Tuesday Night.
Its lucky for the law-abiding citi
zens that Matzoni, the hand cuff king
and jail breaker, has not disclosed his
mysterious power to the criminal.
Matzoni will give a performance at
Glover's Opera House Tuesday night.
Though bound with many handcuffs
and locked within steel cages, the
great Matzoni has been always able
to escape. “Steel walls do not a
prison make, nor iron bars a cage”
would have a literal application in
the case of Matzoni. How he does
his marvelous feats is a puzzle to
all- who have seen his work.
Press accounts of his tricks show
that he has “made good” wherever
he has gone. Every precaution is
taken to guard against his escapes,
even to sealing the keyholes, but
he always comes out safely leaving
the lock untouched. His deeds partake
of the wizard.
Assisted by Mme. Matzoni, the hand
cuff king does a number of interest
ing tricks which appear absolutely
impossible to his audience.
The price of admission is 25c, 35c,
and 50 cents. One night only.

of the comforts that money will buy,

stomach trouble. Sold by all drug

DOCTORS HAD AGAIN TO
CUT OPEN HIS FOOT
Americus Man Submits to
Operation.
Friends of Mr. Edward Porter will
be pleased to learn that he is now re
covering from the painful accident
sustained ten days ago, wherein a
large pine splinter was driven almost
through one of his feet, puncturing
his shoe as well. Physicians attend
ed his injury, and a day later he was
carried to Columbus, to the home of
his aunt. As the wound refused to
heal another incision was made by
physicians there and a particle of the
splinter found and removed. It is
expected that Mr. Porter’s recovery
will now be rapid.
JAPAN CHANGES
BATTLESHIPS PLAN
TOKIO, October 25. (Special)
As the result of an investigation made
in Europe by Admiral Count Yama
moto several changes have been made
in the plans of Japan’s proposed bat
tle ships of the Dreadnaught type.
Instead of being over 21,000 tons, as
the construction committee recom
mended, it is now announced that
they will displace only 19,000 tons,
and that the gun armament will be 10
instead of twelve inch.
This announcement comes from ap
parently inspired sources, and is giv
en, as explanation of the delay in
laying down the first of these ships.
This ship, it is further explained, to
be fitted with American turbine en
gines, and will have a speed of twen
ty knots, or one knot less than the
Dreadnaught.
With regard to repairs upon the
captured Russian ships it is announ
ced that the Tsugaru (Pallada) has
emerged from the docks and will soon
be fit for sea. The Hizen which was
built by the Cramp* in 1900, has had
her repairs very nearly completed at
Saseabo and will come out of dock at
the end of October.
The Soya (Variag) which was sup
posed to have gone to her grave for
ever when she was sunk at Chemul
po, will be added to the strength of
the Japanese fleet next spring. She
will by that time be a smart cruiser
of 6,500 tons and is expected to have
a speed of twenty-three knots.
Hanl Times in Kansas.
The old days of grasshoppers and
drouth are almost forgotten in the
prosperous Kansas of today; although
a citizen of Codell, Earl Shamburg,
has not yet forgotten a hard time he
encountered. He says: ‘‘l was worn
out and discouraged by coughing night
and day, and could find no relief till
I tried Dr. King's New Discovery.
It took less than one bottle to com
pletely cure me.” (The safest and
