Sheriff Burr and His Prisoner Did Not Get
in From San Diego
Sheriff Burr and Deputy Martin Aguirre
were expected to return from San Diego
last evening with Clifton E. Mayne, Mrs.
Shipton and her daughter Della, but the
party failed to put in an appearance. At
the Jail there were several theories as to why
the program had not been carried out
One was that perhaps the rain hs1 been
heavier south than here, and that Sheriff
Burr was afraid to start with his prisoner
on account of his health. Another was
that they had started, when Mayne was
taken sick on the train, and they had to
get off at some point along the line that he
might receive medical attention. Still an
other was that the party had arrived and
gone to hotel in place of going to the
Jail.
A telegram to THE HERALD's San Diego
correspondent brought The information
that Mayne will be brought back to this
city this morning.

Messiah Concert


The king of all oratorios, "Handel's
Messiah" was given last evening at the
Simpson tabernacle by the Treble Clef
club, assisted by the Oratorio society of
Pasadena and the Woman's orchestra of
this city. Owing to the drenching rain all
the afternoon and the fore part of the even
Ing, the audience was very small, and it
also diminished the numbers of the chorus
about sixty. The Messiah is work that

criticism in many ways. The chorus work
throughout the entire work was, as a whole,
very fair, and some things really quite

Winfield Scott and his associates on the
board of viticulture, in compliance with
the demand made upon them by the state
hoard of examiners for an accounting of
state property in their possession, are very
busy complying with the wishes of the
examiners.
Secretary Scott has catalogued almost
the entire library of 1000 volumes and
thus far has only missed about ten vol
umes of value, and he thinks that most of
the missing books may yet be found.
Much of the property in the labratory
and experimental department, which was
not accounted for in the first inventory,
has been dug up and listed, and Secretary
Scott says that the state board of exam
iners will find, when they peruse the new
inventory. that everything of value has

it was that the animal, whom we had

raised himself in the air, in bewllder-

The New South,

There IS abundant evidence of the fact
that the South is fast putting aside old
and Improbable theories and methods,
and adopting new ones that are calcula-
ted to greatly promote her prosperity.
Her people are beginning to realize the
Importance of placing themselves in touch
with the influences which have done so
much for the North, and of diversifying
their industries according to the true
logic of material growth and progress.
They have ascertained by actual expert
ment that cotton is not the only thing
that is adapted to their soil and climate.
The crops of corn that they have raised
in recent years give assurance of practl-
cally unlimited capacity in that respect,
and the same is true relatively of other
cereals and of various fruits and vegeta-
bles. 1t has been demonstrated, also, that
they do not neeu to depend upon the
North for meat products, as they have
heretofore mainly done. In short it may
be said that they have learned that it is.
possible for them to produce most, if not
all, of the things which they have so
long been buying elsewhere, and the rail
roads running in that direction rel ort
large decrease in the shipments of such
articles, thus showing that the Southern
farmers generally are abandoning the
single-crop policy.
the manufacturing Industries of the South
are increasing at rapid rate, and that
large amounts of capital are being inves-
ted in them, to the advantage alike of
her laborers and her traders. These en-
terprises signify substantial and perma-
nent additions to the forces that develop
latent resources, extend business opera
tions, and increase the value of all forms
of property. Their good effects are al
ready being seen in a striking way, and
they are as yet only at the beginning of
their usefulness. The reports show that
the South IS recovering from the depres-
sion of the last two years even mere
rapidly than the North. Her financial
condition is satisfactory, all things con-
sidered, and her people are confident and
cheerful in view of the splendid agricul-
tural prospect. There is new South,
unquestionably, and it has been made by
the changed view Of her citizens with re-
gard to the processes and appliances by
which the most advantageous results are
secured in return for honest and faithful
endeavors. The North looks upon this
significant fact with qualification, there
is every reason to believe, for the in
creased prosperity of any Fart of the
country helps all the rest of it, and tends
to strengthen the bonds of mutual inter
est and consideration.-St. Louis Globe

THE SCHOOL POPULATION.
1t Has Almost Doubted in the Last Twen-
ty-FIve Years.

ty-FIve Years.
In all the schools of the United
States, public and private, elementary,
secondary, and higher, there were en-
rolled in the year 1894 about fifteen
and one-half millions of pupils. This
number include all who attended at
any time in the year for any period,
however short But the actual aver
age attendance for each pupil did not
exceed ninety days, although the
average length of the school session
was one hundred and thirty-seven.
Sixty-nine pupils were enrolled out of
each one hundred of the population
between the ages of five and
eighteen years. At this rate of
attendance the entire population
is receiving on an average little less
than four and one-half years school
ing of 200 days each. In some states
this average falls as low as two years,
and in others it rises to nearly seven
years las in Massachusetts,.
Out of this entire number deduct the
private and parochial schools of all
kinds, elementary, secondary, higher,
and schools for art, industry, and bust
ness, for defective classes and Indians,
and there remain over thirteen and
one-half millions for the public-school
enrolment. or nearly SO per cent.
of the whole. In the twenty
four years since 1870 the attend
ance on the public schools has in
creased from less than 1000, 900 to b.
100000 The expenditures have in
creased somewhat more, namely, from
sos 0O0, 900 to S16S 900, 600 per annum, an
increase from Sl.64 per capita to 81. AZ.
To account for this pro rata increase OF
so per cent. in the cost of the common
schools one must allow for slight in
crease in the average length OF the
school term, and for the increase of en-
rollment from less than II to more
than 20 per cent. OF the population.
But the chief items of increase are to
be found in teachers wages and the
cost of expert supervision. These ac-
count for more than two-thirds Of the
so per cent, while the remaining one
sixth is due to better apparatus and
more commodious school buildings.
