achievement in the May festival.
Mr, Guckenberger preented certificates to
the following pupils;
Mrs. w. B. Catchings Alabama, voice.
Miss Leah Ullman, Alabama. voice.
Miss Daisye Long, Alabama, voice.
Miss Lena Jackson, Alabama, voice.
Miss Alice Moore, Alabama piano.
In making the presentations Mr.. Guck-
enberger delivered a few remarks, the sub
stance of which was that the number Of
certificates was few when it was remem-
bered that the conservatory had something
like two hundred students. But no one
could obtain a diploma or certificate unless
he or she had taken the theory course.
The time had come when pupils in Amer
lean conservatories could not carry off
honors unless they had mastered or at least
studied the algebra of musical science 1t
had long been so in Europe. To be a good
singer a good instrumentalist was no
longer sufficient. Musicianship must al
ways include a knowledge of theory.
Miss Glover will have charge of the piano
school at the conservatory during the sum-
mer term and Miss Ullman will have charge
of the voice department.
Miss Gockel, the efficient theory instruc-
tor and first assistant teacher of piano,
leaves this morning for Covington, Ky,
where she will spend the summer.

Harry Brown Brought Back

The man, Harry A. Brown, who was the
bookkeeper for Hobbie & league the Com
merce street wholesale grocery house, was
brought back here last night from Houston,
Tex, by Special Officer William Murphy.
The warrant for Browns arrest has been
sworn out, but does not allege the amount
of money he is suspected of having con-
verified to his individual use.
Mr. league says that owing to a con-
tinuance of the investigation of Browns
accounts it Is yet impossible to place the
amount Of the alleged populations. He
says that the shortage had not yet reached
$1,000 as has been previously estimated.
1t was learned from Mr.. league that
Brown had on everal occasions made err
TORS against himself, which showed clearly
that Brown wa either incompetent in fig
ures or careless In the discharge of his du-
ties as bookkeeper.
1t is said by the police that there is
woman in the case, and 1T was through her
that Browns whereabouts were discovered.
1t was an intercepted letter which led to
Browns arrest.

RIO GRANDE FLOODS
Has Caused an Approximate Loss of
One Million Dollars.

San Antonio, Tex, June 1.-THE flood
which had devastated the Rio Grande val
ley has caused a loss of property that,
when approximated, it is thought will be
a million dollars. The Rio Grande river at
Eagle Pass rose forty feet Wednesday
night, completely isolating the town and
carrying away the iron bridges which con-
meets Eagle Pass, Tex, with Ciudad
Prforio Diaz. Numerous little jackals
along the Rio Grande river have been
washed away. Rain is still falling in the
Rio Grande valley, and the Laredo bridge
Is threatened. The loss of life in conse-
quence of the water spout Wednesday
promises to be heavy, ranch hands and
Mexicans, principally, living in settlements
on the Neuces river. The first news from
Bracket, which was laid In ruins by the
flood Wednesday, was received today. The
dispatch says that the town is wiped out,
and that all county records are destroyed.
The people are homeless and are being
sheltered and fed on military rations by
the negro cavalry troops at the fort.

Miss Minnie Tubb Dies of Typhoid
Fever

Bessemer. June 16.-(Special)-Miss Min
ME Tubb, aged 16. daughter of DR.. ]. NJ.
Tubb died this morning at 2 o'clock. Miss
Tubb was a very intelligent and attractive
young lady and has always enjoyed excel
lent health until a short time since, when
she was taken down with typhoid fever.
This disease obtained such hold upon her
system as to render futile every effort to
restore her health
G. B. Edwards, the founder of Brighton,
has made complaint to City Physician
Prince that that place is threatened with
an epidemic of disease from the foul condi-
ton of Valley Creek which flows through
Brighton. The sewage of Birmingham
emptying into the creek has converted it
into a cess pool. All along it's banks there
are foul disease producing deposits.
Brighton is within the police jurisdiction of
Bessemer, but Mr.. Edwards and the cit-
zens will not likely await the action of our
authorities, but proceed on their account to
prevent the emptying of sewage into the
creek
