The old tower which is connected with
TIE memorial hall by the arch and In
which was formerly the drawing acad'
envy with library, has been converted
into the library with four stories over
looking the rotunda below.
Artillery and signal drill was gone
through with by the corps Of cadets in
the afternoon. The firing with blank
cartridges attracted an immense gath
ering of people. The parade grounds
were taxed TO their utmost capacity to
accommodate the gathering.
The annual meeting of the alumni
was held in the Jackson hall, and the
committee on the erection of a monu-
ment TO the cadets who fell at the battle
Of New Market, reported that they had
$3.50 in hand, and 10 erect the monu.
ment il would require something like
S2,s00. The committee was continued
and will make every effort TO raise the
necessary amount.
On the way backto Washington there
was some freedom of criticism Of the
managers Of the institute and Of south
eru people in general for perpetuating
memories of the civil war by erecting
statues, monuments aud buildings to
the memory Of confederate chieftains.
There was no partisan discussion, and
none of it was for publication, but the
subject was considered in a philosoph-
ical manner One Of the gentlemen, a
senator from a northwestern state,
said: 1T seems to me that the people
of the south are doing themselves a
great injustice. They are erecting non
uments for their children TO see and for
their grandchildren TO study. All Of
these monuments will be humiliating
to future generations, because they are
monuments oi failure. Future genera
tons will have none of the pride in per-
sonal achievements, nothing of the
pride of c~onradeship which enthuses
the people Of to-day. To them these
monuments will be monuments of fail
ure, and in those days the people will
not say: God only knows which was
right"
Another senator from a northern
state said: Il like Il see the southern
people do just as they are doing, They
are cultiyating a military spirit in their
young people. They are educating
them for deeds of heroism. They are
teaching them TO love their country
Ii George Washington and his cont.
mental soldiers had been defeated those
people would have erected monuments
to their memories. just the same, unless
prevented by British power from do.

terle cato por liebre: conoce perfecta
mente ell tejido no toma algod6n
por hilo, nj pano burdo por fno.
En- honor de la verdad, 1ebo decir
que amigos y adversarios no SO han
separado en- NADIA de las practicas lie
gales hombres cultos y honrados
como 10 son los seflores Psz, q chi
nj, Ros, Pimentel, Gonzalez, Re-
zach, Baldrich, etc. ETC., no ne
cesitan apelar q p1ocedimientos que
go contradicen con las mobiles cuali-
dades que les distinguen, y les hscen
apreciables por todos conceptos de
esta sociedad, donde tienen creados
familias intereses.
Al movimiento animaci6n de
ese dfa ha sucedido la calma, consa
grandose cada cual & sus ocupacio
nes b b..:uales.
