MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE.

Inc General Committee Decides on q
Night Parade.
The General Committee which has in
charge the arrangements for the annual
celebration of Mexican independence met
in Consul Coney's office last night, Vice
PRESIDENT j. c. C0htreras presiding
Inc committee discussed the subject of a
night parade. and decided to make it an
especial feature Of the celebration. A reso-
luton was passed to invite all of the foreign
military companies in the city to partici-
pate In the procession. Special Invitations
VIII be issued to the three local French
military companies, the Garibaldi Guards,
the Bersaglieri and Alpine companies, Com
pany Ii of the Third Infantry, N G. c.,
and also to the Spanish and Chilean Beneyo-
lent societies.
The committee also considered the sub
1ect OF fireworks, and concluded to make
This an especial feature of the night parade.
The opinion of all present at the meeting
was tnat the parade was the most important
part OF the celebration, and the one which
would be witnessed by the citizens at large.
For this reason it was determined to devote
AL the resources at command to make the
procession the best that has ever taken place
under the auspices of the Mexican colony.
IL was decided to make the parade an illu-
minated one, and to use fireworks all along
the line of march.
The committee next took up the subject
OF entertainments 1t was concluded to have
grand musical programme, which will be
arranged hereafter, to precede the ball which
will be given at Odd Fellows Hall.
AT the next meeting of the committee the
details OF the entertainment will be ar
ranged.

Knowlton's classroom which were not ex-

On cr0ss-examination, which was Distress
ingly rigid and searching, it was brought
out that Morton objected to Knowlton being
put In that school originally; that he had

SWEET TALKS OUT.
It's Time to Call a Halt on IsSu.

The Investigation Of Professor Knowltor
Commenced - Mrs. Mcpherson Has
Not Yet Been Removed.

Superintendent SWEET made special re-
port to the Board of Education last night on
the subject of issuing certificates, and if the
same is needed it will call halt in many
abuses at present existing in the School De-
partment. Following is the full text:
herewith submit special report In the mat.
ter OF teachers certificates.
AL meeting OF The Board OF Education, held
on July 20, 1891, a communication was received
from The Board OF Examination recommending
that certificate be issued TO Mr.. /. LesZynsky
for teaching In a 81 Commercial Evening School"
'This was amended on motion OF Director Wood
ward, by striking out the word "eyening," and a
certificate was issued for teaching commercial
school,"
In this motion, 1t seems to me that the board
exceeded Its legal power and that the certificate
which MIR. LesZynsky now holds Is null aud void,
signature TO Mr.. LesZynsky's salary warrant for
the month OF July, aud have submitted the Ques-
lion involved TO The State Superintendent and
the City and County Attorney.
During the past TWO months at least five teach
ers have been elected who, at the time OF elec-
tlon were not the holders OF legal Certificates.
1t would be altogether safer 10 refer all uomi-
nations to the Committee on Qualifications of
teachers TO ascertain before their election IL the
nominees are holders OF leg Il certificates.
am fully convinced that the power Of issuing
certificates belongs, under the law, TO the Board
OF Examination. and that the assumption by the
Board OF Education ordering the issuing OF GER
tlhcates is a usurpation Of power.
Indeed this usurpaiion of power was begun
only In 1887, by a board that was notable for It's
general disregard of law. Before that time

Cut and Bruised.
NAPA, Aug 12.-On Sund ay last Barbara
E. Tachado, young woman % years old,
went down the river fishing in company
with Portuguese friend. About O'clock
the man returned hurriedly to town and
said the girl went down the river from
where he was fishing, and soon after he
heard splash, whereupon he rushed down
to where he supposed she was, and no one
was in sight. To-day the girls body was
found four miles south of town, and the
face is badly bruised and cut. Some
thoughts of foul play are entertained by
the officers, but another theory is that the
wheel of one of the river steamers may
have struck the body and mutilated the
face. The affair has created quite au ex-
element here
