EDUCATION AMONG INDIANS.
Many of the students at Carlisle SHOW

Many of the students at Carlisle show
Capacity for knowledge.
From the New York Post: That the
Indian has a capacity for higher ed
ucation appears from the facts given
In the eighteenth annual report OF the
Indian industrial school at Carlisle,
Pa. During the past year five students
from Carlisle have attended Dickinson
college, one at Metzger college for
women. Others have attended the
Carlisle high school. some have
been at the normal schools or
the state Drexel institute at Phil
adelphia and the nurses schools OF
Philadelphia, New Haven and Hart
ford. One of the pupils after grad
uatlng from a New England normal
school, was employed last year in a
high school in Connecticut and taught
SO successfully as to be recalled ana
given permanent situation as teacher
Thus far no difficulty has been eXpe-
rienced in placing all those who show
ed a desire for higher education than
is given at Carlisle. There, for mani
fest reasons, the education is of prac-
tical industrial character, as best fitted
to make the Indian self-suppCrting IN
his changed condition. AS further
means Of inducting the indian boys
and girls into civilized family and ma
tional life the outing system has been
adopted. During the fiscal year 1891
there were placed out from the Car
Isle school for longer or shorter pc
riods 401 boys and 319 girls. OF these
lQ4 boys and 101 girls remained out all
winter, attending district and other
| Americanizing schools with the young
people OF the families in which they
resided, earning their board with their
work out OF school hours. By an ex-
tension OF this system the school could
economically care for ] 500 children, or
about twice the present number en-
rolled. The children placed with fam
lilies last year earned a total Of $2O,-
4lS.S9. of which the boys earned Sl3.-
1887 and the girls s7.26S.l2. From
these amounts the boys saved S6,426.OS
and the girls S3,2sS.21. Boys and girls
who have been out a number of times
have acquired the ability to earn fuis
| wages

on the recent Waco street duel, says:
"Iconoclas" BrAnn has at last met the

mon Of his class. lie has been shot TO
pieces in street brAwl and the event
will cause no mourning except among
his immediate relatives. Brsnn was
indeed an iconoclsst Nothing was
sacred to him. There was in his ey es
no virtue, no friendship, no religion,
no God. lie was hater OF every thing
that right-minded men priz', and he
ioved nothing He was worse than a
negAtion, for he actively aud sggres
sively attacked anything and every.
thing that men hold sacred. So long
as his venom was confined to abstrac.
/tions, he excited only di gust and con
tempt; but when-iD Texas OF all
places on earth-he began to attack
individuals, II was only question Of
time when retribution would overtAke
him. The only cause for surprise is
that he should have escaped the bullet
or the knife so long and 1t must be
deemed unfortunate that he has sur
vived for years while other lives have
been lost through the quarrels and
Animosities that he has fomeutee.

SOLD MINES TO SPAIN.
Absolute Proof That the Dons Got Ex-
plOsives In London.

plosives In London.
LONDON. April s. "Details have been
obtained of the manufacture of sub
marine mines in London for Spain,
which was first brought to the atten-
IT, on of the United States embassy on
March 8.
Lieutenant Commander j. G. Col
well, the United States naval attachc,
has since inves tigated the matter and
has made n report on the subject to
the United States government The
facts learned strongly tend to show
that Havana hsIbor was mined, and
unquestionably prove that Spain pur-
chased mines for that purchase. The
firm of Lattimer, Rhodes a. Clark,
electrical engineers during 1ss7-Ss
filed large order for Spain Of lot
of mines in which were used fourteen
and one-half tons of gun cotton. The
work was directly under the surveil-
lance of General Fernandez and Cap
tain Bustamento. The latter was
then the head OF the Spanish torpedo
school. by order of these officers the
mines were divided into four consign-
ments, for Havana, Ferrol, Cadiz aud
Carthagena
The mines were manufactured
under the direction of J. T.. Gibbons,
after Gibbons patents, which are de-
scribed in Scieman's book on torpe-
does and mines Gibbons, who is a
former sergeant of engineers and a
government inspector of torpedoes,
believes the Names first explosion
was caused by what is technically
called a ground mine, containing 800
pounds Of gun cotton, several of which
were manufactured for Spain.
He has experimental with these
mines largely at Portsmouth, and says
that once laid, they retain their prop
critics for fifty years In addition,
Gibbons asserts that IL is absolutely
impossible for them TO explode acct
dentally, as the electric currents for
their explosion are formed only by
the manipulation of complicated
key board especially devised to pre-
vent accidents
