tiles of the university have been per-
fecting plans to utilize during the
summer months the educational facil
tiles of the university by offering a
summer course of university work for
those who desire it, and are unable
to attend during the regular session.
The great importance of this work is
known to those who understand the
educational conditions in Mississippi,
where there are hundreds of teachers
and others who arc anxious for higher
attainments and who for various rea.
sons are prevented from attending the
regular session of this institution.
Through the generosity of a noble
woman whose name is not given but
who, it is said, is already widely
known for acts of this kind, the uni
versity has been furnished the means
for carrying on a summer term which
will be fully arranged to meet the
needs above mentioned. The work Of
this term will begin about June 15.
A full corps of able instructors will
be engaged and such scope will be
given the work as will make it means
of progress to all who may take it.
Detailed information may be had by
corresponding with the chancellor of
the university.

DIR. Nicholas Murray Buffers ad-
dress before the National Educational
association at Chicago the other day
was an impressive statement as to the
condition of education at the close of
the century, AS it was necessarily
restricted to the large aspects of the
question and was comparative, its
most interesting feature was the pre-
elzinence of this country in support
of education. The fact that our an
nual expenditure for common schools
alone is equal to the sum total of the
expenditure of Great Britain, France
and Germany upon their navies sug-
gests the comparatively free hand that
an industrial community like our own
has in advancing the intellectual in
terests of the people. The greatest
advance has been since 1870, and it has
been marked not only by .liberality in
expenditure but by systematic devel-
opment of the educational idea as a
whole, beginning with the common
school and ending in the university.

Buls introduced in Congress by Repre-

Representative Taylor, of Alabama,
has introduced bills authorizing the
Mobile and West Alabama Railroad
company to construct and maintain
a bridge across the Warrior river be-
tween the counties Of Walker and
Jefferson in West Alabama; also to
authorize the company to construct
and maintain a bridge across the
Alabama river between the counties
of Marengo and Choctaw, below De-
mopolis.
The Industrial Commission which
reported on convict labor Wednesday
has supplemented that report with
recommendation for several OF the
States. AS to Alabama, it says: cat
the state penitentiary, the system OF
employment is satisfactory, and no
material change in the laws Is recon-
mended. The employment OF con-
victs on farms and in saw mills is the
least injurious to all interests in
volved. Convicts worked in the mine
appear to compete with free
labor, but as matter OF fact 1t is
beneficial to FREQ labor, as it prevents
strikes, keeps the free miners en-
ployed and insures the running oi
railroads at all times and the trans
portation of all products. Hence,
the employment of conyicts in the
coal mines is of the greatest benefit tc
the free labor of state.

Death of W. j. Llddlooat.

The Inter Mountain Of Butte, Mon
tana, bearing the date of Tuesday, No
vember 13, contains the following in re-
lation to the funeral of the late w. j.
Liddicoat, formerly of this city
The remains of w. j. Liddicoat were
shipped to Denver over the Oregon Short
Line yesterday afternoon at O'Clock,
and was accompanied by Thomas Lid
dicoat brother of the deceased.
The deceased was an old time under
takel and all the undertakers of Butte
turned out to pay their last tribute to
their departed brother. They congre-
gated at Richards undertaking rooms
at 3:15 where services were conducted
by Rev. Blackiston. The remains were
encased in costly and handsome steel
grey casket with massive ornaments and
was decorated with beautiful floral of
ferings, the most noticeable of which
was the Gates Ajar," contribution
from the undertakers of Butte.
From Richards undertaking rooms to
the Depot, the hearse was preceded by
the following funeral directors of Butte:
John q. Lucas. James Techell, Thomas
Sullivan, William knight, Warrington
Richards, Joseph Richards, Larry Dug
gan and NJ. ID. Griffin, who acted as es-
cDrts and also as pail bearers and pre-
sented a fine appearance, all being
dressed in neat black suits and silk hats,
their appearance being all the more con-
spicuous from the fact that they all
wore Prince Albert coats. At the depot
the casket was placed in an oak zinc
lined box, and soon all that was left of
what was so short a time so full of life
and vigor, was speeding away on it's
long journey to be placed in its last
resting place.
w. j. Liddicoat was born in England
about 30 years ago, and came to Colo
rado when Very young, where he resided
for at least twenty years, and was a
member of the National Funeral Direc-
tors Association OF Colorado. He
worked for Mr. Ed. Harris, undertaken
of Central City, Colorado, for six or
seven years, and was well known all over
the state of Colorado as {, man who was
master of his business and was respected
and liked 10y all with whom he came in
contact, being one of those whom to
meet is to like. He came to Butte about
eight months ago, and about three or
four months ago went to Anaconda and
entered the employ of Mr.. Ehret, the
but returned to Butte in
about three months, where he contracted
a severe cold and was first attacked with
typhoid fever and finally pneumonia and
suffered intensely for three weeks. He
fl ally succumbed to the dread disease
on the morning of November 9th.
