ALAMO CARNIVAL.
PROGRAM FOR THE GRAND MILL
TARY EVENT ARRANGED.
By the JudiciOus Advertising Inaugurated
by Chairman irvine Thousands
Will be Attracted.

carnival "Storming the Alamo
has perfected arrangements for the
carnival on a grand scale. Efforts
are being made to thoroughly adj
vertise the event in the surround.
ing country. About sixty editors
of country papers are invited to
urge their readers to visit the city
on the occasion and assist as much
az possible in completing the fund
to establish the Confederate monq-
ment. The carnival will occur
Dec. IL and u, and it is estimated
that ZOO people will witness it.
The letter mailed today by Mr..
Irvine OF the press committee is
as follows, enclosing descriptive
matter:
"Dear Sir-The enclosed matter
explains itself. 1t is our purpose
to do more for the State Confed-
crate Monument fund at one stroke
than can probably be otherwise
done in years. The monument at
best is but q tardy tribute to the
devoted patriotism of the fallen
heroes of the south land, who went
down in defeat as we'll as death.
"The safety OF our republic and
the strength OF our loyalty are
alike measured by the liberal
memory we hold of the value of
that manhood which leapt into
heroism in defense Of honor, home
and country. Monuments, then,
are not alone thank offering, or
sentimental tribute, but they
evince the spirit of appreciation
which insures that our liberties
shall ever be defended and they
educate our children and instill
into their hearts the spirit Of hero
ism and love Of country so indis-
pensable to liberty.
whatever aid you can give to
upbuilding and maintaining such
sentiment we feel sure you will
freely lend. The enclosed matter
is meant to be used by you to base
any explanations and advice upon
which you may care to give to
your readers and friends.
GAS only slight token of our
appreciation Of the value Of your
friendly aid, we are instructed to
advise you that you are appointed
an honorary-aide to Gen. Mabry
for the occasion to participate in
the parade, and as such we invite
you to be our guest while in the
city. Please notify US promptly of
your acceptance, as we desire to
make special preparations for you,
and also send US marked copies of
your valued paper containing any
comments to enable us to further
advise you of any new features
worthy Of mention. Assuring you
Of our appreciation in advance, we
are yours faithfully,
81. @. IRVINE,
chairman Press Committee"
The program of the carnival will
be as follows:
First day-Grand military street
parade, composed of United States
troops, cavalry and infantry, state
militia, Zouaves, native Mexican
rangers, honorary officers and ex-
Confederates in carriages, an exhi-
bition drill at Riverside Park and
attack and repulse of the enemy.
Second day-Grand sham battle,
storming the Alamo, reproducing
wildly the scenes and incidents of
the heroic struggle, and ending in
the tableau "The Fall of the AL
amo."

manned by the immortal Travis
and his band, while the heroes on

DEFECTIVE SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
Building Inspector Refers tn Some al
the had Work.

- -
Building Inspector Bunting yesterday filed
with the Board of Works his report on ex-
aminations of school buildings. School No.
1, at Vermont and New Jersey streets. and
School No. at Delaware and Walnut streets,
are perfectly safe. School No. 4, at Black
ford and Michigan streets. is badly cracked
on the north and west sides. while there is
a bulge in the middle Of the outside wall
of the north half of the building.
School No. 3. at Washington and Cali
fornia streets, is a new building, completed
but a few years ago. The following, from
the report of Mr.. Bunting, gives an idea
of the kline of work that has been done:
walls twelve inches thick: four school
rooms on eacn floor. Two rooms In second
story are rather weak, with very great vi
years will be as bad as No. 10. There should
be a rough floor laid In the attic, which
would greatly stiffen the whole structure.
The basement IL only four and one-half feet
in the clear. so the janitor has TO crowd
to get to the furnace. This should be rem
edied. The stairway occupies all Of the
around the steps. These stairs should be
taken out and new ones put into their place.
The outside doors are hung on double hinges.
and are always swinging in, and the vesti-
bule doors are hung with common hinges,
and swing outward, so that those doors are
always conflicting and always in a snarl.
AAC - 2hO0lA u A0AAN ~
double-acting hinges. and hung on the in
side of the jamb. so that they can be swung
back against the wall In the daytime"
School No. o, at Union and Phipps streets,
Is in a fairly good condition, except for
some bad cracks in the ~brickwork at the
southwestern corner. School No. q. at Ben
ton and Bates streets. is safe, but the stairs
should be Strengthened. School No. S, on
Oak Hill, is one OF the exceptions, as it is
safe and all sound. The annex of School Nc
9, Vermont and Davidson streets, is cracked
so as 10 be dangerous. School No. IL. at Nc
Carly and West streets. has a bad crack on
the inside wall. School No. IL, at Buchanan
and Beatty streets, has twelve-incn walls,
two OF the rooms have weak floors, and the
windows rattle when one walks through the
building. SCHOOL No. Ia, on East Ohio street,
IL pronounced all right, as Is school No. 10,
at Ramsey avenue and Michigan street.
The building of School No. IL, at West
and Second streets. l. safe. but a number
Of repairs are needed. School No. a, at
North and Minerva streets. Is pronor:ced
safe. The suggestion is made that the floors
OF School No. -. at New Jersey and Merrill
streets, be strengthened. The communication
of the building inspector was referred TO
the School Commissioners. No action has
been suggested concerning the condemnation
OF the buildings examined. The School Com
missioners have expressed a desire TO
strengthen all weak buildings, and in a spirit
CT cooperation Mr.. Bunting was directed
TO make this investigation.

Hut Deputy City Attorney BELL Must
First Get an Appropriation.

Joseph Il. Bell, deputy Ncity attorney,
claims that he is entitled TO $3.50 a year,
because the Council recently passed an Or
dinaee raising the salary OF his office from
Sl.D0 to $1,000. The increase in salary was
made since Mr.. Bells appointment. and the
ordinance was passed after he and City At
torney Curtis had worked untiringly for il.
Section 25 OF the charter includes this
clause: Nor shall any salary be changed
after the election or appointment of a per-
son TO office until his term expires or his
office is vacated"
Mr.. Bell gets around this provision of the
charter by saying that IL refers 10 those
offices fixed by the charter. He claims that
his office was created by the Council and
that that body has the right to increase the
salary. Mr.. Bell denies that he has re-
signed and been reappointed in order to -
ceive the raise, and thereby escape what
was evidently tho spirit OF the charter.
There is no record of Mr.. Bell having re-
signed and been appointed again at an in
creased salary.
Notwithstanding MIR. Bells unique posi-
ton. another ordinance viii be necessary
10 enable him 20 get the 81. 900 voted him. In
the innocence which comes from the first
office. the Democratic members OF the Coun-
ell failed to make any appropriation from
which Mr.. Bell may be paid. The original
appropriation was for $1,000. but the appro-
~priation was not increased with the salary.
Controller johnson was asked on this point
and replied:
That is about right. There Is no appro-
priation for a 81. 900 salary. There being no
provision for the increase. Nr. Bell will have
TO be content with what have. l shall pay
him so long "a the 81. 30 appropriation holds
out but after that Is gone he gets nothing
