EXPOSING A SHAN.-The New York Tribune
states that careful investigation shows that
the american College OF Heradry,r la ntver-
sity Place In tnat city. which is using the names
OF many prominent citizens as regents and lie
members, is pretenttOus sham. Albert Weles,
who seems TO be not only the president. but ali
the rest OF the faculty also, has succeeded by
regents and life members, who have no duties
and no privileges OF any value. Inquiries have
been made among leading citizens whose names
Nj. WelleS Is using, and it is found that they
have either not authorized him TO do anything
OF the kind or nave not Investigated the matter
and know scarcely anything about the so-calied
college. The snug little sum or 81, 900 already
collected from the life members is in addition 10
amount collected for preparing family histories
making searches, &c.

A Race Problem in Texas.

A special from Fort Worth, Texas, February
;. says: This city has rather novel and SEN
sational school squabble Oh hand. The cause
OF the trouble is two little natives OF South

They are brother and sister aged ~ and 10
years. respectively. Their complexion is nearly
that OF new saddle, but their features are of
the CASTELAR, cut. Their eyes are round snappy
heavy and grows long, without curl or kirk,
but as straight as an arrow, and Is a rich
glossy black. They have been regarded as
curlos1ues as rare as Arabs would be. They
are possessed OF the average amount of intelli-
gence and speak English as well as white chill
dren OF their age. They and their mother were
brought to Fort Worth from the interior OF
Peru In the spring OF 1874, by A. b.
Frazier, now postmaster at Maryis Creek,
Tarrant county: In 1916 their mother
