CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 9.-The indie
pendent press protests against the confis-
cation of the Hospital of Jesus by the
government. This hospital was endowed
by the will of the COnqueror COrtez. The
preteXt for confiscation is found in nom
fulillmento of the terms of the will, which
endowed the convent and the School of the
Allegory as well as the hospital. The first
two mentioned institutions have never
been established. The hospital has
hitherto been considered a sacred institu-

have been such a success that an effort
is being made to introduce music in the
smaller parks on Sunday afternoons.
Two thousand working men have petit
toned for music in Tompklns Square, on
the East side, and one tobacco firm has
offered to supply band for month, pre-
yided others will do the same, in case the
city fathers think that they cannot afford
the expense. In order to temper the
good they have done on Sundays, our
model Park Commissioners have removed
the benches from the small parks, in or
der to Etspite the tramps," as they say,
thus compelling the women and children
to swing on the chains or sit on the grass.
The Aldermen have asked the Commits
sioners to restore the benches, but thus
far in vain. II they continue acting so
meanly a mass meeting of down town
citizens will be held to insist upon their
rights in the premises.
Some of the undertakers are in a flutter,
not over the possible advent Of cholera
and a corner in collins, but because Of
some developments in regard to the burial
of infants. 1t was discovered recently
that in the case of many infants who died
only few days old the parents did not
think it best to go to the expense OF
funeral, but gave the body to an under
taker to bury. He was paid from 500 10
SIS for a coffin and the interment in a
cemetery. A handsome little colin and
box were brought, and the body was
taken away in a carriage-but not to the
cemetery. Itreturned to the undertaker's,
were the coffin was stripped off for future
use, and the little body was sent to the
morgue to be disposed of as the city
authorities chose. This game has worked
well in hundreds Of cases, and was only
brought to light by an absent father re-
turning and demanding to see the body
of his child. a nasty visit was paid to

The wonderful Caverns Of Luray are in
this valley, and it was expected that the
excursionists would visit them on this trip,
but il was arranged that they should do
60 on their return. The party breakfasted
at Luray station, where an elegant eating
house attests the fact that it is a fayorite
resort for tourists. On a hilltop in the
distance is the famous "Luray Inn,"
picturesque building of the Queen Anne
order Of architecture. There are grave
doubts, however, if that dumpy little
Queen ever saw anything as gorgeous as
this inn for the accommodation of the
itinerants of the republic.

THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

The excursionists were now in the Shen-
andOah valley. 1t was as beautiful as

from the rude hand of war. The fields
we've clothed in their emerald beauties,
and the white and red farm houses be-
tokened comfort and plenty. Gen. Sheri-
dams iackdaw would not have to carry its
rations with it now should it fly across
the valley, as he said it would have to do
after he destroyed the mills, barns and
crops in his raid along the Shenandoah.
The macadamized turnpikes and out
groupings of the red hills looked very
familiar to several of the eXcursionists
who had tramped through the valley in
the days gone by,

CARLISLE SCHOOL.
)IAN YOUTHS AND MAIDENs.

The idea of educating young Indians in
stead of fighting old ones had been dis
cussed since the days of the Pilgrims,
but did not take a practical form until
Capt. Pratt, who will be remembered by
many of the readers of the MORNING
NEWS as the officer in charge of the In
dian prisoners confined at st. Augustine,
Fla, became identified with the philan-
tropic scheme. The Carlisle school is due
to his untiring energy. Capt. Pratt was
absent in the West when the excursion
lists visited the place, and Mr.. A. j.
Standing, his assistant, and other
officers did the honors of the occasion. The
indus tries in which the Indians are beng
instructed will be of service to
them on their return to their
far Western homes; they en-
brace carpentering, wheelwrighting,
blacksmithing, harness-making, Timing
and tailoring. The girls are instructed in
sewing, cooking and household work.
Both sexes are taught all the branches
of an English education, and mu-
sic; in all Of which they show
marked proficiency. The excursion
lists secured the autographs of a
number of Indian girls. Their pen
manship, it is said, has more lines of
beauty than their faces. These maidens
and youths may be handsome from an In
dian standpoint, but the eye of the Anglo
Saxon fails to see in their faces the tradi-
tIonal Indian beauties.
This Indian school is worthy institu-
ton, and will result, if kept up, in the
civilization of the Indian tribes,
