Academy which appears in another
column of this paper. The 46th year
opens September 4th, 1900. We do not
need to expatiate upon the scholastic
advantages Of st. Mary's for the cata-
logue of the school shows the scope OF
work included in its curriculum, which
is of the same high standard as that
Of Vassar and B"yn Mawr, and is car
ried out faithfully in the class rooms.
We simply emphasize the spirit of ear
nest devotion which makes every
teacher at st. Mary's loyalty strive to
develop each young girl attendant
there into the truest, noblest. and most
intelligent womanhood. Every advan-
tage of equipment in the class rooms,
laboratories and study rooms, every
care in the matter of food and cloth
ing, and exceptional excellence Of ell
matte condiitons-all of these features
are found at st. Mary's. in the perfec-
ton of development only to be OBJ
tanned by the conservation of devoted
lives to educational Christian work, in

QUIETING DOWN

New Orleans, La, July 2S.-Contrary
to expectations the night passed with
little disorder. The prompt action Of
the mayor in distributing squads of
armed men through the city, and the
fact that the negro Charles who ca,s-

had good effect in quieting the popu-
lace.
The negroes. apparently. are glad
+ that Charles is dead. To-day they ap-
peared in larger numbers than for sew
eral days at the places where they are
employed.
Mayor Capdevicllc said to-day he
thought it was unlikely that there
would be any further violence.
Coroner Richards to-day held post
mortem examination OH the body of
Charles. He found that the negro had
been shot forty-eight times, and badly
beaten.
