them. The teachers greatly enjoyed the
course. The hall was crowded at every lee
ture.
Wednesday there was flag raising at the
Tyler Building on Eleventh street east by the
boys Of the school. The teachers and pupils
provided the flag at their own expense. On
Wednesday the boys after singing "America"
and "The7 Star Spangled Banner" sent 1t up
with rousing ship, hip, hurrah!' 1t will be
of interest to some one who wants to make a
Christmas gift that will scatter fragrance all
the year to know that the Tyler Building has
no school library, and both teachers and
pupils, while deeply feeling their need, are
engaged In devisng ways and means to pay
for the school piano.
The flag on the Lenox school house, Fifth
street northeast, was badly damaged by the
wind last week and was taken in for repairs.
The schools in the Tyler Building, under
Miss Longley, seem to be taken as model.
Many teachers from other schools visit them
to get points.
The Tyler Building teachers and pupils will
soon begin practice for the annual school con-
cert.

Lectures at Mount Vernon Seminary.

On Friday afternoon at o'clock w. D.
McClintock, A. M, delivered an entertaining
and instructive lecture on "Scott and the
Heroic Romance" In the lecture hall of Mount
Vernon Seminary. 1t was the second In the
Friday course of six on the English novelists.
Mr.. McClintock has refined style of delivery
that is very engaging. On Friday afternoon
he briefly outlined the good points in Sir
Walter Scott's style. His characters are
drawn in broad lines-types rather than indi-
vidusl, realistic studies. Scott's faults grew
out OF his interest In antiquarian lore. He
too often tired the readers with aside para
graphs of no special interest to the story
The next lecture will be on Friday on "The
Novels of Dickens and Thackery."

DICTATOR OF BRAZIL.

Deodoro da Fonseoa, Absolute Ruler OF
So-Called Republic.
The man who has set himself up as dictator
of Brazil has got into about the same sort of
trouble that followed the similar action of
Balmaceda Of Chill. President DE Fonseca,
whose picture Is given, may be patriot who
wishes to save his country from relapsing into
imperialism and in order to defeat the con-
spiracy of the imperialist plotters and their
foreign allies found it necessary to suspend
the constitution. Or be may be another
Balmaeeda, filled with the lust Of power. It
seems probable, however, that what he has
done has been from patriotic motives.
