our Normal School met Tuesday,
with Gov. Foster, ex-officio presi-
dent, and all the members present.
Prof. Caldwell, president of the
faculty, made a written report OF
the years work, showing an at
tendance of 430, as against 1862
last year. His report also recon-
mended increased service in the
faculty, which was at once respond
ed to by the Board in the selection
of Prof. Geo. Williamson, Of the
Grand Cane High School to be an
additional teacher, while Prof. E.
L. Stevens of this city, q gradu-
ate of the Normal and OF the Uni
versity Of New York, was selected
to fill the vacancy caused by Prof.
Schaffer's resignation to accept a
position in his home State-Penn-
sylvania.
Some additions and improve
ments will be made on the build
ings and grounds during the vaca-
tion, and October 1st will find this
grand institution better equipped
than ever to supply the growing
demand made upon it.

Grammar School Exercises.

The closing exercises of the
Grammer School held at the Opera
House last Friday night proved a
grand success, and was witnessed
by a very large audience of ap-
preciative hearers.
The achievements and material
advancement made by the pupils
reflect great credit upon their
Professor, also doing honor to
themselves.
The efforts put forth by Miss
Rose Holston, Miss Belle johnson
and Mr.. Joseph Kile, are worth
commendation, and in fact, every
part of the programme was car
ried out in a very satisfactory
manner.

of the class.
A very touching song "Thc
Classmates FAREWELL" was sung
at the conclusion of this most sue
cessful entertainment.
The Alumni Association gave its
annual dinner Tuesday afternoon,
which was in nature welcome to
the new graduating class.
The Alumni also gave an enter
tainment at night which was highly
enjoyed by all. The leading fea-
turc of this entertainment was an
address on ''The Gospel of Cul-
ture," delivered by DR.. Alexander
Rosenspitz, Rabbi Of the Jewish
church of Alexandria.
Wednesday was the last day Of
commencement, but by no means
the least important. This was
Graduation Day, and the exercises
upon this occasion were all that
one could wish for, Essays were
read by three young ladies OF the
class, as follows Louisiana
Renaissance, Miss Birdie Harel-
son, "Pestalozzi's Power Of Love-"
Miss Annie Stephenson, ''NA-
ture as an Educator" Miss Ella
McMichael.
The Commencement Address was
deliycro by Hon. j. V. Calhoun,
States 7'rintendent of Education.
The dip, las were awarded to the
graduates by Mr.. Calhoun, also.
For the lack of space we have
been unable to pay due tribute to
the excellent music, both vocal and
instrumental, which was so freely
interspersed throughout every pro-
gram and contributed SO material
ly to the success of these exerci
ses which mark the close Of the
most successful session of this in
stitution. Miss Lucie Bates and
Miss Clara Barksdale, who have
charge of this department, deserve
great credit for the hard work and
close attention paid to their every
duty.

great news to the citizens OF Trinidad

Storage Company The King reser-

system. The whole will contain
nearly 100000 acre feet of water and
will bring a large amount of new
land in Prowers county under irriga-

larger area of irrigated lands than
any other county in the state, but
the increase which this vast enter

RESTORES ORDER IN ALASKA.
LnwIess Spirit in the Territory Being
Firmly Put Down.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Jan. 1S.-From
the latest Alaskan advices it is apparent that
the former lawless spirit prevalent in the
territory is being supplanted by whole
some respect for law and order by the dis
trict court, which has just finished the win
ter session in Juneau. Concerning the in
dictment of Joseph Murray by the grand
jury for libel, the Mining Record says: Mr..
Joseph Murray, late fish commissioner Tor
Alaska aud special treasury agent, saw ut, IN
his last annual report, to impugn the mo-
tives and integrity OF our court ana court
officials and this action of the grand Jury
will afford him an opportunity to substantiate
his words or to crawfish his way out OF the
prcdicament into which he has permitted his
prejudices to lead him. Ell Alaska is in
debted to United States Attorney Bennett,
Clerk Rogers and Marshal Williams for the
able support which they have rendered Judge
Delaney in his efforts to kill the germs
of crime with which Alaska seems OF late
to have become inoculated. Each and every
one seems to have been actuated by no pur-
pose other than conscientious performance
Of the duties imposed upon them, and that
they have succeeded is not to be galnSalu.
The manifest determination of the court to
maintain and enforce the laws as they stand
has won the applause of the JUDGES friends
and the respect of his enemies, and 1t Is to
be hoped that the good work so well begun
may not De suffered 10 lapse, Dut may NC
prosecuted to a flnality. No better method
could be adopted for bringing about the
enactment of wholesome legislation than
lies in the rigid enforcement of existing
misft statutes. II these laws be disre-
garded and be permitted to become dead
letter upon the statute books, they will
remain forever. 1t will require hard work
and plenty of it to secure substitution of
better, but Judge Delaney has pointed out
way and opened the gates, and 1t remains
only for the people of Alaska to act in concert
and in unity of purpose to secure the RENE
dial legislation which has so long been
unavailingly sought"
Touching on politics, the following would
indicate that residents of Alaska are going
to take the republican administration at its
word on the subject of home rule: The name
Of Edward Degroff is prominently mentioned
for the clerkshp. 1t is rumored that j. G.
Brady of Sitka is also candidate, though
his mind has been leaning toward the gov
ernorehip.

PRICE OF MS wIFE's AFFECTIONS.
Tenant Sues an Iowa Landowner for
Ten Thousand Dollars.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Jan. 1S.-(Special.)-
Great interest is being manifested in the
case of William Wiggin against Charles A.
Huston, which is now on trial in the district
court before Judge Remley. Every day
the court room is crowded with men, women
and children from the northern part of the
county where the parties to the suit are
well known. Mr.. Wiggin has sued Mr. Hus-
ton for $4,000 damages for alienation of
his wifes affections. Mr.. Huston is one of the
largest landowners in northern Linn county,
and is reputed to be worth from 100000
to $4,000. For a number of years he has
been very prominent in politics. and few men
are better known in the county than he.
In 1894 Mr.. Wiggin and his family moved
onto one of Mr. Huston's farms near Wau-
beck. He reserved one room in the house for
his own use, and often remained there for
several days at a time. Wiggn alleges
that Huston took advantage Of the oppor-
tunities offered, won the affections Of his
wife, became intimate with her. and subse-
quently caused her to leave him, and for
this he asks damages in the sum of $4,000.
A number of leading lawyers are employed
on both sides and the contest is being bit
terly fought The trial probably will last
a week or ten days yet.

Sam PaIatISa Tells How He Wrecked

the Train at Cahaba Bridge.
NEW ORLEANS Jan. 1S.-A special to
the Times-Democrat from Atlanta Ca, says:
sam Palatka, cross-eyed, a fiend in express
sion, revolving in countenance, has confessed
10 having perpetrated the horrible Cahaba
bridge disaster which occurred three weeks
ago in Alabama. Stolidly and with immov-
able lines of criminal harshness on his face,
he admits that he, single-handed, sent TWEEN
ty-seven persons to horrible death and
wounded and manned a score more. There
was no romantic reason back of the work
of this courageous coward, a man who dared
discovery, which in Alabama meant certain
DEATH to drive a train to destruction in order
to obtain a few dollars.
Palatka was arrested in Eatonton, Putnam
county, in middle Georgia. His first cap
tors believed him half witted as he gave
himself away. Those in charge of him today
in Atlanta, as he was on his way to Ala
bama, say he is absolutely reckless and en-
tirely wit hout human feelings. Today he

Not Certain About ReiIIey.

The identity OF Reilley, the supposed Girls
void bank robber who was brought back
from Pennsylvania to answer to the charge
of shooting Nick O'Brien, is causing consld-
erable discussion. Reilley is putting up a
strong case of innocence, and he has about
succeeded in persuading some OF the police
to believe that he is not the man. Nick
O'Bren has seen him and maintains that
there Is no mistake. While bringing him
here Sheriff Morgan stopped at Chicago and
took his prisoner around to the Pinkerton
offices and the detective headquarters OF the
city for Identification. There all the officers
disclaimed that the prisoner was Reilley. In
appearance the man is somewhat changed
after serving eighteen months in the Allen
town Jail He hes grown fatter and his com
plexion is bleached. He has the red stubby
beard he wore when he was supposed to
have shot o'Brien and in size answers the
description.
The prisoner stated to a reporter for The
Bee yesterday that an evident mistake had
been made. He has employed Colonel Daily
to defend him. This is the same attorney
that defended the other men. Several days

SHIP OWNERS TELL THEIR WISHES.
Senator'S Ask Them 10 Draft Bill for
a bounty or Subsidy,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-A number Of
senator's, together with several representa-
tive shipbuilders and owners of steamship
lines, met in the rooms of the senate commit
tee on commerce today and had conference
as to the best method of improving the mer-
chant marine. Senators Frye, Perkins, Lodge
and Elkins, and Messrs Griscom, Sewall,
Smith, Clyde Cramp and Hyde and several
others interested in ships and shipping,
were present. The plank in the republican
national platform calling for discriminating
duties was the basis of the discussion. Some
of those present favored it, while others
were opposed stating it might tend to divert
the carrying trade to Mexico and Canada,
to the detriment OF American ports and
American ships There was a general in
terchange OF views, and the opinion was
expressed that bounty in the way of mail
bounty on tonnage, such as given by for
eign countries would be better than dis
eliminating duties. One gentleman ex-
pressed the opinion that $50OOO00 a year
distributed among American lines would
build them up equal to the English lines.
The senators finally said the ship owners
and builders should agree among themselves,
and they were asked to prepare what they
thought was a suitable measure, which
would not conflict with treaties, and send it
IN congress.
