School cl.ses.

The school at Austin Springs closed
Wednesday, 9TH instant, with big ex-
hibition.
The exercises began at 8 o'clock a.
m. The windows Were darkened and
the house lighted with lamps, the stage
being beautifully decorated. Excel
sior" in large letters hung over the
stage in front, while "Welcome, /" in
equally as large letters hung just back
of the stage.
The day was anldeal one, and a large
audience greeted the little boys and
girls and larger ones, too, who present.
ed their pieces with much honor to
themselves and credit to their teacher.
Many laughable dialogues were acted
which brought forth applause from the
audience.
At 11;30 dinner was served by the
good ladies who had good things in
abundance, and we all Toasted like
kings.
Soon the bell tapped and again a
packed house sat watching and listen
ing to the afternoon program, which
was well rendered and as we'll received.
At the close Of the exercises, Prof.
A. M. Mettatal, of johnson City, DR..
VIM. Hale, of Buffalo Ridge, and Hon.
W. W. DeVault, of Austin Springs,
were called to the stage, each deliver
ing an interesting talk, after which the
paper, "Tally Rags Siftings," was
read. 1t was comical, amusing and
laughable, and many of the boys and.
girls faces turned red when their names
we're mentioned.
The music was furnished by q
string band from Buffalo Ridge, com
posed of two yiolins, one guitar and
one autoharp.
The school was taught by Miss An
mis- Jean Hale, of Buffalo Ridge, this

Secretary Alger had hardly got set
tied again in his chair at the War De-
partment, before he made public q new
defiance OF those republicans who have
been trying to persuade Mr.. Mckinley
OF the wisdom of throwing Alger over
board, regardless of what he might tell
of the campaign of '96. This challenge
of Alger indicates his belief that his
hold on Mr.. Mckinley is strong enough
to keep HIM in the cabinet, no matter
what happens. He said
"Since I entered the cabinet, have
not considered resigniug; the matter
has never been mentioned to me by the
president, and I have no intention of
resigning. If the purpose of the con-
slant reports that l will leave the cabi-
net is to tire out the president and my
self, those responsible for them are
very much mistaken, they don't know
their men,"
1t is an open secret that many promi-
nent republicans are working to force
Alger out of the cabinet. They are
willing to drop him easy by letting him
take the ambassadorship to France, or
any other diplomatic position, under
this government, but they insist that he
shall be asked to resign if ne will not
do so. 1t was in connection with this
scheme that Whitelaw Reids paper
printed a savage attack on Alger and
Algerism, a few days ago. Reds re-
lations with Mr.. Mckinley are so close
he would have been in the cabinet
but for Boss Platt's protests it is
certain he never would have printed
that attack without Mr.. McKinley's
knowledge. The warmer this fight
grows the better democrats will be
pleased, because they know it is bound
to make heap Of trouble for republi-
cans next year.
