By the courtesy OF Mir. Ken, whose inter

earthquake has been so unceasing, we have
been favored by the sight Of Photograph
which has brought before us with sickening
viyidness the reality and Intensity of some
OF the misery caused by the disaster. The
Photograph portrays a woman who. after six
weeks careful nursing and nourishment. is
IN a condition which We should have thought
it impossible for any human being to be in
and live. She was found some six or seven
weeks ago with just that spark Of life still
lingering in her emaciated form to incite her
rescuers to the most resolute efforts on her
behalf. and as an Illustration OF how faint
that spark must have been, the unhappy
wretch Is still in such an awful state of
emaciaton as 10 be almost past recognition
as human being and 10 defy either descIp-
lion or imagination.

THE NAMES WITHHELD.

Successful Candidates for Admission TO
the High School Known by Numbers
This Year-Nearly All of the 6S6 Par
Elephants Pass the Examination.
The preliminary examination for admis-
sion to the High School was finished last
nighh by a compilation showing the success
full candidates. This examination was
in reading, writing, geography and
drawing. A new system was used,
the outcome of the fighting that
has been in progress in the Central Board
of Education for year. Instead of the
pupils reporting at the High School for ex-
animation, they were grouped in classes of
two and three wards in one of the sub
district schools where an examination was
conducted by a member of the High
taken to the High School and ex-
amined and marked by committees
from the faculty. The plan of reporting
the percentages of pupils and the schools
from which they came was specifically for
hidden, and the Principal, c. B. Wood, of
the High School, ordered to report to the
Chairman of the High School Committee
only the card numbers of the successful
candidates This report was forwarded last
night. 1t reads as follows:
The preliminary examination for admis-
sion to the High School was held as directed
by your board, on December 81 and q. Six
hundred and eighty-sx pupils were exam
ined. The holders of the following card
numbers have passed.
All Trom to 22S inclusive.
All from 23O to ass inclusive.
All from 46l to 7Sl inclusive.
All from 7SS to 77S inclusive.
With the exception of the following who
are to he re-examined in geography: Nos
5, 3z7, sos, 5O7, 5O9, 5l6, 5S2 SIS and 6S3.
On the face of this report it appears that
while only 6S6 candidates were examined,
760 passed. This may be explained BY the
fact that there may have been some blank
numbers on account of more members being
assigned to q district than the total of the
pupils presented for admission.
This is the first. time in Is years the
names Of the successful candidates were not
published. The same thing was tried in
the final examination last June, but there
was such protest from the parents of the
successful pupils, who felt their children
were being robbed of hard-won credit, and
such a demand from taxpayers to know
what the various schools were doing, that
the board bowed before the storm, and the
nameswere printed.

picket, surrounded captain, lieutenant
and four men in a woodshed, end burned
them alive. They then killed four others
with bullets and wounded seven, besides TAX
ing number OF prisoners and so horses with
saddles, carbines and ammunition, and es-
capped back to Texas IN broad daylight.
This is the official report of General Ber-
nardo Regro You can infer from this one
incident that our experiences during the

ant. The Interior Department, however,
did nothing for US. We had no guides, no
interpreters, no pack train (until late
date), no canned meats which could be
used without cooklng-nothing.

them. No blankets but our saddle blank

But we busted them up in fine shape, and

cases) with CARA, we should have Ameri-
canized the Rio Grande"
