ner, happy and with no thought of yot
yielding up their days; dressed in black
silks with soft laces; overy head silver
crowned-indeed they wero joy, and
presented picture worthy Of proser-
vation. Four of them had been neigh
bors and intimate friends of General
jackson, and all had tho kindliest ap-
probation of his much-wounded wifo,
whom llo so loved. Tho unclo of ono
had something to do with Jackson s
duol, and relative of another pcr-
formed ono OF Old Hickorys marriage

the Southwest gavo rise TO tho suspi-
cion that he was organizing an oxpodi-
ton to invade Mexico, with the pur-
pose of establishing an empire there
which should embrace somo of tho
Southwestern States of this confedera-
cy. He was arrested for treason ut
Richmond, Va, and tried for treason
before Chicf Justice Marshall and ac-
quilted in 1907.
The stately matron, who continued
to grow more eloquent over the famous
Adonis and 'atesman, began after
awhile to give mucr..:, t"rcsting history
of Jefferson's private life-ho. 20, ort-

SO MUCH has been said by the press
about the neglect, on the part of the presi-
dent, to say anything about the death of
Vice President Hendricks in his message,
that it becomes necessary to say that it
was not overlooked in the message, and
that it was the fault of the wires that this
impression got abroad. Now, that the
complete message is received, the follow
ing is found in it:
To the Congress of the United States:
Your assembling is clouded by sense of
public bereavement caused by the recent
sudden death of Thomas A. Hendricks,
vice-president of the United States. His
distinguished public service, his complete
integrity and devotion to every duty, and
his personal virtues will find honorable
record in his countrys history. Ample
and repeated proofs of the esteem and
confidence in which he was held by his
fellow-countrymen were manifested by his
election to Offices of the most important
trust and highest dignity, and at length,
full of years and honors, he has been laid
at rest amid universal sorrow and bene-
diction.

AUXILIARY HIGH SCHOOLS.

In an editorial The STATESMAN took oc-
casion, several days ago, to say that it was
desirable the high schools throughout the
state should conform their course of study
to the curriculum of the university, so that
students could enter the classes of the lat
ter without making any perceptible break
in their studies. We are glad to learn
that the regents of the university have al
ready taken the initiative in bringing
about this state of affairs. plan has
been adopted by which approved high
schools and academies, co implying with
certain published conditions, can become
recognized feeders of the university and
entitled to admission without examination.
A number of schools have availed them
selves of this opportunity to form an or
ganic connection with the central
institution of the state. Among
them may be mentioned the Austin high
school, the Houston high school, the
Round Rock high school and the Ball high
school, of Galveston. Prof. Cooper, prin-
cipal of the Houston high school, when
informed that its application to be ad-
mitted as an auxiliary school had been
granted, wrote: THE authorities here feel
sensible of the compliment which your
committee has given to the school, and
will do all they can to aid the university
Three of the most prominent members of
the present freshman class are graduates
of the Ball high school, Galveston, and
Prof. Sellers, it's principal, writes that
more ARE to follow. If the other high
schools and academies of the state would
initiate the example of these, and connect
themselves with the university, the educa-
tional system of the state would be as
''the fathers" intended and as all lovers of
sound learning would rejoice to see, a
complete and rounded whole edifce
finished in all it's parts, and symmetrical
''from turret to foundation stone.'
