sting with two great Powers, the United States
and Great Britain, respecting Samoa. Tho
censures which have been administered to Con-
General Knappe seem to indicate that he
has thrown over his Samoan agents, and is
prepared to settle the controversy in an am
icable spirit. The only ground on which
judgment is to be reserved is the appointment
of DIR. Steubel as the new Committeeman
He was responsible for large share OF the
recent troubles in Samoa, having intrigued
with Weber and Tamasese against Maietoe
and raised the German flag without authority
from the Foreign Office. He was even more
meddlesome and aggressive than his successor,
has been. Still Prince Bismarck has warned
him in the strongest language that the consular
authorities must not act independently OF tne
home Government, and he may turn OuS
reformed diplomatist.

DANGERS FROM FIRE.

Details Of the great fire disclose the risks to
which the city was exposed. With light
wind blowing toward the river and away from
the centre of the town the flames avaged the
space Of seven blocks. II the wind had been
in the opposite direction and the conditions
had been less favorable for restricting the
burned area, there might have been terrible
catastrophe. The lard factory and the two
high elevators furnished material for an I'M
manageable bonfire Of intense heat
which baffled and defled the most scientific
handling of the Fire Department.
The disaster which was averted almost provi-
dentiay ought to set everybody 10 thinking over
the dangers from fire with which the metropolis
Ia beset Grain elevators unprovided with the
means Of forcing water to the highest stories
should not be allowed to stand even on the
edge of the city. Lard factories ought to be
prohibited altogether. When they catch fire
IL is impossible TO extinguish the flames, and
surrounding buildings are inevitably destroyed
The only place where lard factory should be
tolerated is in the country or remote suburbs
where it is completely isolated.

EDUCATION-AN ESSAY.



Education is like fine clothes. 1t makes
mighty fool of some people. The
amount of education that ought to be
given to COY or girl depends altogether
on the quantity Of boss sense nature has
bestowed on 'enn. Some big-brained
folks might own oil this world for their
field, the moon for barn and poultry
yard. and heaven for a homestead with
out being set a-strut like pompous pea
cock, the glory of whose contemplate
life has all gone to tassel. And, just in
the same way, some children may leai n
grammar, history, algebra, latin, and all
other big studies teached a. the high
schools and colleges and still talk with
as good sense as ii they had finished their
schooling at "ail-to-b-troubled' in the
old blue back spelling book as me and
my old woman did fifty years ago.
If boy is inclined to swellhead, like
q good many Of our chaps are now-a-
days, about the worst thing that can be
for him is to send him to q boarding
school with plenty Of spending money;
for, as said to my son-in-law, Jack
lxard, last week, If he'd have kept his
dog Cuff at home instead Of allowing
him to wander around the village he'd

..xroR REPoRTER-The social event
~ The past week was a grand reception
. wen at the residence of Mrs. Murrell in
Fhonor of Prof. E. L. Sherwood and lady
on Saturday evening. The coy little
parlors were brilliantly and gaily deco
| rated for the occasion.
About S:3( O'Clock the young complies
| began to arrive and continued to do so
until the parlors and hall were filed to

school were present. Among the guests
were Misses Fannie and May Belle
Thompson, two charming young bellies Of
Corinth.
The students were out en- masse to do
hopor to their much respected and be.
loved teacher, Prof. Sherwood. Many
students Of the classes of s6-S7 and 81
So as well as the class of $3.50 were
there much to the delight of their rany
friends. Among those of the older
classes were Prof. S. A. Morrison and
Misses Lillian Anthony, Fannie Parker.

by large majority, but he did no. eget

OF course Mr.. Ed. Brown was there,
otherwise the entertainment would have
been wanting in many respects. And
last and least, too, in size, but in no
other respects, were the professors little
pets who seemed to enjoy themselves al
well as the grown-up folks. They were
Misses Lyla Murrell, Lena Hubbard, May
Belle Williams and Bette Murrell.
1t is estimated that speech-making was
participated in more that night than any
other entertainment of the season, but
not little triyalous courtship speeches,
but speeches of pure unadulterated love
to Prof. and Mrs. e. L. Sherwood,
AboutIl o'clock the company began to
dispense, many renewing their love
speech, by expressing a desire to meet
the professor at Houston Normal College
in September next.
