OUR NORMAL INSTITUTE.

OUR NORMAL INSTITU lie,
Sierra County Normal Institute
will commence Monday, August
7th, 1899, under the leadership ci
Prof. A. +. Bennett, of Silver
City. Teachers, if you have the
proper professional spirit, you will
be there without any further invi-
tation or information than simply
to know the date OF the Institute.
Attendance simply because it is
asked by the superintedent, and for
fear OF lncurring his displeasnre
in case of absence, has not the
right motive behind it, and Is nom
professional IN the highest degree.
1t is the duty of the county super
intendent to render the greatest
possible service to the schools Of
the county; in fact, he has OBJ
ligated himself to do so, and he is
not fulfilling his obligation If he
does not fill the schools morally
above reproach and professionally
above criticism. The present in.
cnmbent feels the weight OF this
obligation and expects to exert his
utmost endeavors TO do his whole
duty as he sees it, aud confidently
expects the hearty support OF
every person in the county who
has the welfare OF the schools at
J e,rt, and what a ridiculous pro-
position 1t would be to suppose
that any one who expects to teach
should not be among the number.
During the term. which will last
two weeks, Pref. Bennett will de.
liver course OF lecto. es the sub
jects OF which will be announced
later on. These lectures will be

"A HORRIBLE
CONFEDERATION.
Scenes During the Fire
Heartrending.
Children Fall Backwards in
the Flames-The Shrieks
of the Dying-An
: Explosion the
Cause.

E New York, August 2S.-A spe.
ial to The World from Nyack says
says that fire was discovered in the
large boys and and girls orphan,
asylum, connected with st. Anne's
convent, at Sparkill, Orange county,
at L O'Clock this morning, but not
before the entire structure, q frame
building, was wrapped in flames.
Many of. the inmates, children,
were burned and suffocated, it was
reported early this morning. The
exact number of the dead could not
be told at 3:15 a. M, when the first
dispatches reached this city.
The asylum, which is conducted
by the Sisters Of Mercy, held about
1000 children. 1t was long frame
building, three stories high. The
flames were not discovered until
Athc whole building was one mass
of fire. The children had a scant
chance for escape.
The scenes at the conflagratlon
were heartrending. The children,
clad in their night robes, could be
seen falling backward into the
furnace of flame and smoke, while
the shrieks of the dying could be
heard above the crackle of the de-
vouring flame.
Some of the children were Grip
pied for life by jumping from the
windows Many of the sisters also
were injured, while others lost
their lives heroically while trying
to rescue their charges. The fire
started on the upper floor of the
three-s story building. Nearly 300
of the occupants of the convent
occupied rooms on this floor and
all the dormitories wore lighted
with kerosene lamps.
There is little doubt that the
fire was caused by the explosion of
one of these lamps. The fire spread
rapidly upward and burned
through the shingle roof of the
building in two places.
AT the time of discovery the fire
had made such progress that the
sisters could not awake the hun
dreds of children under their care,
marshal them in order, and march
them from the building, as was the
practice at fire drills. Many of the
little victims were suffocated in
their sleep.

The AmericaD people can do any

"The license should be issued
under such restrictions as would

could be limited, and they should be
compelled to fi'c statements of

it stands, not for despotlsm and

that flag has done for us we want
it to do for all peoples and all lands
Which by the fortunes of war have
