At the last annual meeting Of the Grad
ed School district the committee appoint
ed were directed to look into the matter
of the enlargement Of school buildings
ana accommodations and report with

are to be made should be commenced ear
~ in June, as soon as school closes so as
10 have it completed before the fall term.

Two incidents related as having occur
red last week Sunday, Illustrate the
cheapuess of human life in Texas. Rev
X. NJ. Lawson having lost several articles |
by pilfering negro, took the law into |
his own hands and shot and killed the |
thief. On the same day aud in the same
vicinity, Rev. Hall Miller, being annoyed |
by drunken man who was creating |
some disturbance in Sunday school |
which he was conducting, went for his |
gun and shot and killed the offender in
the presence of the school. Some mis-
sionary work is evidently needed among |
the ministers of TeXas.-Free Press.

The citizens lecture committee of the
last two years desires to say that il made

point them. This failure was great

knew the Chaplain to be one of the most
speakers on the lecture plat
form. As he Is to be in the State the
coming Sunday he has been induced to
appear in Dubois & Gays hall next Mon
day evening, when, rain or shine, every
body should be there II they wish to hear
a production uneXcelled. The lecture
had the promise of the Chap
lain for next season, but this appearance
will be in place of il and he will not APP
pear again.
The news Of the sudden death OF Rev
+. A. Hopkins, at his home in Burling-
ton last Friday morning, was received
with unfeigned sorrow by all who had
the pleasure Of making his acquaintance
here. No one has given greater salts

Grace parishes than he, and it had been
hoped that he would supply these
churches this coming summer. A sketch
IF his useful life is copied from the St.
Adams Messenger whose editor was
personal friend of Mr.. Hopkins.
Rev. Theodore A. Hopkins died at his
nome in South Burlington Friday fore
noon of blood poisoning. Mr.. Hopkins
was a son of Bishop Hopkins, and was
born in Pittsburg, Pa, in 1928. He came
with the family in early life to Burling

education, graduating at the Vermont
University in the class of 1850. Although

he Episcopal Institute at Burlington yet
lorced by the financial storms which came
ipon the Bishop, he worked his course
through college single-handed and alone.
Among other things we have heard MIR
hopkins say that lac tuned pianos from
loor to door and taught music to earn
he wherewith to meet his bills, which
we're as modest as they possibly could
De made. The original school establish
d by his father was located on Church
street in Burlington, near its southern
Extremity, which was forced to suspend
ior lack of financial announcement.
Later Bishop Hopkins was enabled to
ear the beautiful and commodious edi-
ice where the institute is now located.

served a season as minister of the Cos !
