SANTA FE SCHOOLS.
Two Catalogues Just Printed by the New
Mexican Printing Oompanv.

The New Mexican Printing Company
| this week turned out several cata.
logues and booklets that as far as ar.
| tistic conception, Typography and neat.
| ness are concerned, compare favorably
with the output of the best printing of
fees in the United States One OF the
catalogs is that of the public schools
of Santa Fe. which, aside from its ar
tis tic cover and good typogra ply, Is
worthy of notice as indicating the Won
derful progress made by the public
schools in Santa Fe since last summer,
so that now the Santa Fe public schools
are the equal Of any public schools In
cities much more populous than Santa
Fe. Great praise Is due to Prof J. A.
Wood for this condition Of affairs, and
the catalog which contains the names
of the teachers for the ensuing year, the
names of the members of the board of
education, and all the committees also
ward who We're enrolled at any time in
any of the public schools during the
past year, and the grade to which each
pupil belongs. They give also a finan-
cial statement of the receipts and ex-
penditures of all moneys from August
1, 1s99 to July 81, 1900. From this state
ment all can see whence the money
came and went. They contain the SUI
perintendent's annual report to the
board of education, and the course of
study for all grades.
Some of these -catalogs were distrib-
uted to-day around the business part
of town, and number left with the
president of the board. of education at
the book store. Any one desiring copy
can obtain one by calling there.
Another catalog just issued from the
press of the New Mexican Printing
Company is that of the Loretto ecad-
emy in this city. 1t, too, is a credit to
the job printers and press work Of the
New Mexican. 1t contains a fine half
tone cut of the school, convent and
chapel and gives useful information
lbout this famous and long established |
school for girls |

4 SUDDEN PANIC.
Thirty Persons Injured in King Humbert's
Funeral Procession.

London, August "a dispatch from
Rome says that sudden movement in
crowd in the Via Nazionale as the
kings carriage in the funeral process
sion passed resulted In a panic, during
which thirty persons were injured. 1t
was first thought by the officers that
the new kings life was in danger. The
duke of Aosta and the count of Turin
drew their swords, while the cavalry
drove back the crowd and inclosed the
kings carriage in a square. Women
tainted, shrieked and were trampled
under foot, but disaster was averted.
AT THE PANTHEON.
Rome. August 9.--The train bearing
the remains Of the late King Humbert
arrived here to-day. The cortege which
escorted the body to the pantheon was
imposing In magnificence. Crowds in
the streets remained uncovered while
the cortege was passing. King Victor
Emanuel III. walked at the head of the
princes. At the pantheon the services
were most touching.

Chicago, August 9.-The executive
committee of the Populist national COM
mittee met here this afternoon to take
action in regard to the vacancy on the
presidential ticket caused by the with
drawal of Charles A. Towne. 1t was
scarcely expected, however, that any
formal action will be taken this after
noon, as several members of the COM
mittee wished further to confer with
Towne and Bryan, who are expected
to arrive in Chicago this evening The
opinion was generally expressed among
the members Of the committee that the
meeting would result in the indorse-
ment of Adlai E. Stevenson. A strong
effort will be made to bring about har-
mony and fusion on the state tickets
