The Reunion

At the Institute on Friday night was well
attended in spite of the unpleasant weather,
and appeared to be highly enjoyed by the
young people. The doors were thrown
open for general inspection of the improve
ments in the building. We found them
more thorough and signal in their character
than we had anticipated. The partition on
the first floor. we were informed, can be
hoisted by machinery 30 as to throw
the entire space in one compartment at ex-
hibitions and other public occasions. thus
avoiding tho unpleasant jams which have
heretofore prevailed. We mounted by an
easy stairway to the second story. The
parlor comes first, large room handsomely
furnished Next we reach the DINING room
which, in its various appointments, reminds
you of frst.class hotel. The sleeping
apartments, ton in number, are spacious,
we'll lighted and ventilated, and will each
accommodate four occupants. The work
is now complete. save, perhaps some paint
ing. and is we'll done. The cost was only
So, 900. Not only the faculty and friends
of the Institute have reason to be proud of
these improvements, but every citizen of
the town as we'll, for in its old estate it was
a public eyesore, while now it Is an orna-
ment to the town. The electric lights
recently introduced, threw O charm over
the entire edifce.
Now let us have o new public school
building as we'll adapted to its needs, and
everything in the educational line will be
peaceful lovely and progressive in San
Marcos.

Any one who has an eye to passing
events" must be staggered at the amount of
billiard and other modes of gambling now
resorted to by mere boys. The Legislature
in their blindness pulled down the saloon
screens and passed laws making it an Of
Tense to play billiards, otc.. IN those place..
Aud what has been the resultp The increase
of alluring and fascinating vices in places
where practises are resorted to by young
men that would otherwise never have been
dreaint of.
We clip the above from last weeks Times,
We beg our neighbor to explain, according
to his own showing, what would have been
gained by allowing this gambling to 20 on
behind the screens of saloons, as it formerly
did? There was undoubtedly much more bill
lard playing and other gambling then than
there is now. while the surroundings were
of the most demoralizing sort. We can't
see what our neighbor means by this sort
Of talk, unless 1t be to favor and please the
saloons.

AN FXCELLENT RECORD.

Plymouth Congregational church held
it's annual meeting Wednesday evening at
their chapel, corner of Second and Law
renee The ladies Of the church provided
a delicious supper which was served at =
o'clock and was attended by almost the
entire church and congregation. When
supper had been finished the pastor, Rev.
S. 4. Millikan. called the meeting to order,
and. after prayer the various officers re-
ported the condition Of the church in It's
different fields of work. The Sabbath
school was shown to have steadily IN
creased in members until it had reached
ITO and was thirtY-three per cent better
than last year. The church membership
has been added to until it has reached 145,
some forty having united since the Rev.
Millikan took the passionate, six months
ago, and the growth of the church.,
it seems, has but just begun.
The most astonishing OF the
reports, however, was that made by the
treasurer which showed that every bill for
the entire year had been promptly met
when due, and in addition, nearly $500 OF
Indebtedness had been discharged leaving
the church owing but 1900 and but $500
of that bearing interest. There was great
rejoicing over the condition of affairs, and
with good reason, for if these results could
be achieved in year of general financial
distress, what could not be done III the
year to come? The outlook is surely
bright.

anxious to have everything in complete
readiness before the }ening this can
