Both prima .donnas are in splendid

They were carried away by the color and
picturesqueness of the al fresco Mexican

tonic and an artistic stimulant.

they will be given little preliminary

University Lectures on journalism.

The Catholic university of Lille has re.
Gently attached to its law faculty depart
ment devoted to political and social
sciences, in which courses in industrial
legislation, and above all in the legislation
relating to the press, are seriously given.
The university, it would seem. has wished
to emulate certain universities of the
United States in bringing modern journal
ism into the still air of academic studies.
This year it is one of the best known
writer's on the Catholic Unlyers, NJ. Taver-
nier, who has been asked to give the course
of lectures on the theory and practice of
the Journalists art. Naturally, NJ Taver-
nier seeks, particularly in French journal
ism, matter for illustration, and the facts
upon which he bases his philosophic in
auctions. But portion OF his lectures is
to be devoted to journalism in England
and the United States.-W Westminster Ga

AIameda's Proposed Library Building.


ALAMEDA, CAL, Feb. 2.-The PROPOSE
ton to form an association of public-spir-
lted citizens to erect publie-library build
Ing, at cost approximating $4,000, has
by no means been abandoned but is being
perfected by those having it in charge and
the prospectus will soon be given to the
public, so 1t is stated. The organization
Will be actuated largely, if not entirely,
from a public spirit and desire to see
the library properly and adequately housed
IN structure that will not only meet all
the requirements but that will be credit
and ornament to the city and evlnce the
public spirit and good taste OF its people.
is not proposed that anybody shall
give money to the fund for the erection of
the building. They are simply to loan
money at a low rate of interest-probahly
5 per cent-to be paid back in one, two
and three years. The city can very well
bear the burden of the improvement if it
IS spread over three years, but it cannot
stand it in any single year, and to issue
bonds is tedious and expensive process.
The city cannot specifically be bound to
repay the private association if it shall
erect the building, but public sentiment is
in favor of the step, and majority OF the
present Municipal Board will hold for
three years, and are in accord with the
movement, so that there could be little
risk on that score.
In the New City Hall.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Feb. q The City
Trustees will hold their first meeting in
the new City Hall tomorrow evening.
The new Council chambers are large and
handsomely furnished, and are a big i'm
provement over the old meeting place.
Among the matters which will come up
for action tomorrow evening will be the
awarding of contracts for the addition to
the municipal electric-light station, IN
Guiding building, engine and boilers.

ment is announced of Miss Emma Boeh-

HOTTEST CITIES IN THE LAND.
Indianapolis Was One Of the Three
Ton Notchers Yesterday.

TOP NOfcneFs 1eBter00ys
The Sunday picnic season began in earnest
yesterday, hundreds OF people turning to the
cool woods near the city for relief from the
burning heat of the dusty. white asphalt
streets. Small boys were invited by the lur-
ing appearance of the creeks and river 10
take their first plunge in the swimmir' hole
under the bridges near town. Quite a large
crowd were seen swimming under the Fall
creek bridge at Indiana avenue. but they
found the sport less fascinating than they
expected, and after sf1ivering a while in the
water, which is still cool. Notwithstanding
the hot weather OF the past two or three
days, they were glad to crawl upon the
banks and bask in the sunshine. Away from
the town the parks were found cool and in
streei-cars for Fairview, Armstrong; and
other resorts On Washington street the
heat was almost unbearable. and the usually
large crowds of promenaders were mucn
smaller than those generally seen al this
time Of the year. The streets were almost
as completely deserted as on the hot after
moons OF July and August.
AT O'clock yesterday morning the tenn
perature stood at 70. BY noon the thermom-
eter had steadily risen until the maximum or
81 was reached. 1t continued extremely hot
being s. az o'clock last night. The reports
of the local weather forecaster show that in
but two cities in the United States-Wash-
ington, d. c., and Nashville, Tenn--was the
weather as hot as here. In both cities the
same maximum, 80 degrees. was reached. AT
Atlanta and st. Louis. New York and Mem
phis the maximum was 80.
