The death of this young MAJ

sorrow in this city, where the
twenty-five years of his life were
spent. 1t is always peculiarly
mournful to contemplate the blast
ing of the hopes of budding man.
hood. In the present instance ad.
ded sadness is occasioned by the
reflection that tho Oldest son is
removed within eleven months OF
his fathers death. The general
sympathy extended to the family
was demonstrated by the large
concourse at the funeral. This
gathering was also tribute TO the
deceased by those who had learned
to love HIM. His family make
loving mentions OF the tenderness
which he m4nifestGd toward the
close of his illness. They rejoice
that he sought the consultations of
religion, and that he seemed to
take many verses of the Bible as
Gods voice to him. He will be
greatly missed and long mourned
in the large circle of his acquain-
tances.

The National Republican in =

tally says: when the dead an
wounded are carried out of Wall
street it will be found that nobody
has been hurt except gamblers in
stocks, and men and institutions
who have been gambling. The
men who have gone down are not
among the producers. They thrive
upon the weakness and avarice OF
their fellow men. They are as
much gamblers as men who bet
on horse races, or who hazard
their money on the turn of a card.
The legitimate business of the
country would not suffer if an
earthquake were to swallow IN

VIM. Norris and some eight Others
were before the court on a charge
of failing to work on the streets in
the city after having been duly
summoned so to do. An agreed
case was made up and submitted
on the law points. The court fined
the parties 81 for each day they
had failed to work, SO and, the
costs. 1t was claimed for the de-
fense..that the court had no ju"isdic-
ton, because the commissioners
court has no authority to appoint
a road oversecr over the streets of

council has the exclusive right to
lay out streets and has general
control over them. An appeal will
be taken and the question of juris-
diction will be put at rest.

Powwowski had a mutual disagree

other day. Lorenz charged 10
with disturbing the peace he was
arrested, brought before the court,
tried and fined $3.50 and the trim
mings. 10 then preferred a SINH
lar charge against Lorenz, who de-
manded a jury trial. He was
found guilty and fined 81, which
together with So jury fees and the
extra trimmings made his bill a
couple or more dollars larger than
JOS. The majesty of the law has
been vindicated and both men are
poorer and it is hoped wiser.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Baylor College.

A notable event has transpireC
and no record of it has as yet beer
in the BANNER. We thought somt
I visitor more accustomed to tn,
pencil than we, would write it up
but we have looked in vain for
any account of the most interesting
closing exercises of old Baylor.
F, 1t was the 37th annual com
mencemcnt. Five young ladies
succeeded in passing the examine
ton in the five schools. There was
therefore no full graduates, fol
candidates for classical diploma
must pass in seven schools. The
examinations, (Which were all
wrlttcn), consumed a week and we
venture the assertion that 4 more
thorough and creditable oXamina-
ton was never conducted in Texas.
We congratulate Misses Morgan,
Verzer, Higdon, Seward and
Frank. We heard many kind cx-
pressions uttered in their praise.
We happen to know that their
president was proud of them.
The address of DR.. Clarke, who
for more than twenty years was
president of the college was most
interesting paper. 1t grouped in
the happiest manner the events
and characters connected with the
early history of the institution and
contained words of cheer most
grateful to the managers and teach
ers. The address will soon be Civ
en- to the public, and all who know
DIR. Clarke may anticipate treat
in reading scholarly production.
Tuesday night was devoted to
the Musical Department. Only the
students of the highest grade were
permitted TO come before the pub
lie, and they evinccd by their per-
formanees, not only special talent
for music, but the training of a
master of his profession. Miss
Law won the fifty dollar prize and
Miss Lott won the certificate of
proficiency.
The Art Department attracted
more attention than usual, but not
as much as it deserved. We are
confident that no Female School
in the country has superior advan-
tages in the art and music depart
ments.
On Thursday morning the Chap
ell was filled to overlooking to wit
ness the marriage OF one of the
teachers, Miss Genoa Kohl, who
had been persuaded by DIR. Har-
rington of Sweetwater, to change
her manner of life and try the air
of western Texas. Surely it is
worth something to toll in the
teachers profession, if one can win
the love that this good lady won
from hundreds of girls.
We congratulate this college on
its prospects. Six years of trial
under its present management set
ties the question whether the Pres
ident is the man for the place. He
is evidently, to the best of his
ability, endeavoring to put into
practice the pTnoinlGs which he !
earned from his honored lnstruc-
Drs, Drs. Sears and Wayland.
