LIBERIA A GooO PLACE.
Encouraging Reports From Negro Col
Onists Sent There.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 15.-The
Pennsylvania Colonization Society held
an adjourned annual meeting yester-
day. 1t was a more than usually inter-
esting meeting, for the reason that two
letters of importance were read, one
from United States Minister Heard, at
Liberia, and the other from the sec retary
of tho International Migration Society Of
Alabama.
Last March the society chartered the
steamer Horsa and sent from Alabama a
colony of 200 colored people to the repub-
lie of Liberia. The letter from the secre-
tary told of the safe arrival of the immi-
grants and of their character. United
States Minister Heard In writing to the
American Colonization Society, from whom
his letter was received by the Pennsylva-
MIA society, referred to the arrival of the
200 colored people and to their happy con-
dition. All but three remained in Liberia
thoroughly contented with their new sur
roundings.
Minister Heard states that all the people
coming there have to do is to clear off the
brush from the land allotted them, plant
their seed, and an abundant crop is soon
gathered. Says Mr.. Heard 1.-THE land
allotted them is more productive than any
in the United States. A garden of cassava,
potatoes, cabbage and eddoes can be
planted and will yield in four and six
months. Palm oil can be had daily for a
song"

An Interesting Report Made by Superi,i-

An Interesting Report Made by Superin-
tendeat Harmon.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 15.-In-
dian education and the improvement of
present facilities for the instruction of the
Indians is the subject discussed by Will
liam Harmon, Superintendent of Indian
Schools, in his annual report, which is
just made public. He states that he has
received expressions of hearty co-opera
ton from the State Superintendents of
California, Oregon, Washington and other
States having large Indian population,
looking to improving the methods Of edu-
eating the Indian youth. He believes that
the time is not far distant when it will be
possible to transfer the education of the
Indians to the State authorities. The diff
fculties which children who have been at
school encounter on their return to the
squalor of Indian life as seen on the reser-
vations is discussed by him and the sug-
gestion put forth that the agent should
establish homes for them and exert every
effort to prevent them from returning to
their old mode of life. Mr.. Harmon favors
in some instances specific Indian schools,
particularly in communities where obiec-
ton is made to the mixing Of Indian and
white pupils.

The Largest Crowd of the Week AS
sembled at the Madison.Square
Garden.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 15.-Tbe horse
show drew the biggest crowd of the week
to the Madison-square Garden to- night
The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough
were again present. From 1900 to 10000
persons were estimated to be present. In
the boxes and arena seats were the wealth
and fashion of the metropolis and social
swells from other cities. Gowning was
not quite as gorgeous as on Wednesday
night, but was sufficiently gay to make the
scene one long to be remembered. Nearly
the same people sat in the front-row boxes
as on former nights, and as big crowd
indeed, larger than eyer-surged past the
boxes and gazed at their occupants.
In the afternoon the best of the four-in-
hand classes for road teams were judged,
W. Seward Webb winning, and the junior
championship for hackney stations was
awarded f. C. Stevens of Attica, n. Y,
winning with Langdon Performer.
Frank D. Beard fairly won the attention
and admiration of the boxes and the ap-
plause of the whole house for the mastery

Elkins showed a well-matched team of
bays to handsome canary and black

But the honors for display of coaches
and appointments did not rest with any Of
the foregoing. Handsome as were their
turnouts, they did not compare for snowy
magnificence with the equippage and ap-
pointments of John A. Logan Jr. OF
Youngstown, Ohio, and the redoubtable
Fatty Bates OF the New York Coach and
Cab Company.
The honors were fairly easy between the
two. Bates gorgeous canary and yellow
coach Defiance" with. the groom re-
splendent in a red coaching coat of "Ye
Olden Time" and the great man himself
in the latest thing in. the way OF hats, was
sight to behold. -
But DonnelIy and Logan's coach had a
hat that took the shine out of "Fatty's, "
and the Oriole coach that plies between
Youngstown and Bass Lake, Ohio, was
Just as handsome as the Defiance al
though Logan's groom was not quite as
gorgeous as "Fattys" henchman, SO
things were "even up"
The judges took some time to decide be-
tween DR.. Webb's team and that of Frank
D. Beard, but finally awarded the prize 10
the former. Mr.. Boards team outdrove
the others and was the most dashing, but
Mr.. Carman drove the best-matched four
and the more even goers. A parade oi
prize-winners opened up the show in the
evening. All classes were represented
from the ponderous Percheron to the tiny
Shetland.
The handsome junior champion, Lander
Performer, was the pride of the hackney
stations and held his head high with his
well-won honors.

Reverend and Dear Sir. Although your letter
does not deserve an answer, couched as it is,
in reprehensible and unbecoming language,
which shows that you are utterly devoid OF all
sense of reverence and respect tor your lawful
superior, nevertheless for your information l
will say that person who is adjudged con-
tumacIous cannot, according to ecclesiastical
law, avail himself of the remedy of an appeal.
