Two children, a boy and girl, from
the primary grade in San Diego, were
introduced on the platform, and Miss
Rice exemplified the method OF teaching
music in the schools of the city of "bay n
climate" by putting the two little ones
through a very pleasing little singing
exercise, which the children performed
very creditably, in spite of the audience
watching them. At the close of the exer-

to the children, for the same.

Mathematics in the Common Schools"
was the next paper, by @. M. Ritter, of
Chico. The paper was an able one, and
was summarized in the following words |:
sit g. ems clear that the logical deduc-
tions from a thorough examination OF
our public schools and their relations to
the moral, social and industrial forces
are: First, that altogether too much time
is devoted to the study of arithmetic
second, that large part of the so.cslled
commercial arithmetic should be elm
mated from the couree of study, the
PRINCIPLES of percentage and interest
being broad enough to comprehend all
that is desirable in that department:
that in arithmetic shortest solutions'
and best explanations should be sought
for at all times, both to be as much as
possible the result of the pupils own in
vestigation; fourth, that the metric
system of weights and measures should
supplant the cumbersome one row in
use; that elementary geometry taught
inductively should precede the teaching
of mensuration, and, as mensuration is
of general utility, and as most
pupils never enter the higher schools,
thst it should be taught in the
grammar schools; sixth, that more care
should be taken in setting forth the OBJ
jects of the study of Mathematics there
should always be an object in view on
the part of both the teacher and student
seventh. that the study of mathematics
is an indispensable part Of any complete
system Of education"

Another Fatal Fire.

UTICA, N. Y, May 9.-The Chenango
insane asylum and poor house, located ut
Preston, was consumed by fire last night.
The keepers gave their attention to get
ting out the l25 paupers and insane, and
let the buildings burn. They were all
rescued but eleven.
The names of the dead that have been
discovered are Sarah Mills, Sarah Gal
lagher, Sarah Bailey, Laura Gray, Della
Benedict, Deborah Diddle, Mary Ann
Diddle, Lucy Warren and Amelia Atwood.
All the departments OF the institution are
crowded by the rescued. The poor
creatures, many Of whom are old and fee
BILE, are wild with terror, and it was no
easy task to get them out, and great
wonder that so many were rescued. The
people went at it haphazard, appalled, by
the awfulness of the cries and moans OF
the inmates, and the magnitude of the
catastrophe. Two women, idiots, we're
burned, but their names can not vet be
given. A session of the supervisors will
be held tonight in order that immediate
provisions may be made for the inmates,

which accuses me OF being Several thous-

Las Cruces land office. Allow me to say
that your information, so lar as am con-
cerned, is without foundation. | am fullv
aware that an effort was made some time
since to saddle me with an Indebtedness
ranging all the way from So 900 to $lO,-
900 or $4,000, which was said to have
passed into the office while filled the DO
sltion of receiver there. | paid no atten-
ton to those charges at that time, know
ing full well the motives that prompted
them and the innocent tools employed to
give them circulation, feeling satisfied that
time would rectiiy all things and vind-
cate me. And nobIy, Mr.. Editor, is if
doing its work, and has been doing it for
several months, although in quiet way.
Allow me to say further, that when the
final adjustment of my accounts with the
government is made it will be found that
the difference between us is mere baga-
telle. Now, as am neither candidate
for the legislature, nor yet for the position
of delegate to congress, and hence not seek
ing any newspaper notoriety at the present
time, you will confer favor on me by
emitting my name from your paper here.
