InceniiariSm.

The fire company and public was
called out by an alarm of fire Satur-
day night, when it found the large
out-houses of the public school were
in flames. The fire was promptly
ex%tinguished, but the question is,
how did the fire start? 1t was NO
doubt the work of an incendiary, and
as far as We could learn, was started
by some small boys. We trust this
is a mistake. Surely there is no one
in Mexico, however small, but who
knows and would do better. Incen-
diarism is one of the worst and most
cowardly crimes We would call at.

John P. Gass and F. NJ. Shell:
"This young and rising institution
entered upon its present session un-
der the most fattering auspices. Be-
sides the students, numbering about
40, there we're present on the MORN
ing the session opened nearly 100 CIT
liens and patrons, showing an zap
probation of the school and an inter-
est in education rarely exhibited in
any community. Under the able
management Of Profs. Gass and
Shell, supported by an efieientBoard
of Directors, this Institution can
scarcely fail OF success. There are
now 60 studenas in regular attend
ance. 1t has become nesecsary to
employ another teacher, Miss Lille
B. Woodson has been added to the
faculty and has charge Of the prim
airy department. We can not but
congratulate both the teachers and
the community upon the grand pos
sibilities of that institution.
