Tome InStitute-The Trustees Hit
Back.

Rev. A. S. Mowbray publishes
in last weeks Port Deposit Press,
"A defense of the Trustees of Tome
Institute against the attacks upon
the school by Director Mackenzie
The following paragraphs from the
article contain an epitome OF the
whole:
"The action of the Trustees
would seem to need no defense, but
when such a board, for doing its
duty in the management of trust
funds is subjected to a suit fol-
damages, and when its members
maintain charitable and dignitied
silence for the good of the school,
in spite of palpable and persistent
misrepresentation, it is time fol
patrons untrammelled by official
relations to the case to defend those
who stand by conscience and duty
The patient, discreet and unim
peachable conduct of the Trustees
has been in striking contrast with
the course pursued by DR.. Mac,
kenzie. During the time of his
administration he has persistently
sought to change the purpose fol
which the Institute was founded
eliminating the girls from the
largest benefits, discouraging the
poor. and in proportion building
up gh-priced pay school for the
rich He has avowedly discour-
aged the Industrial and Business
side Of the work for tine Classical,
going SO far as to insist upon the
undemocratic proposition of a sep
arate graduation for the Industrial
and Commercial students-a sort of
Jim Grow car in the Institute. He
has been phenomenally and need
lessly lavish in the use of the In
stitute's money, defeating all peace
able efforts of the board for the
administration of economy.
''When for these, and other we'll
known reasons the Trustees deter.
mine upon a change, the Director
Immediately sets about to use his
power and position to harm the
Institute. While accepting pay to
serve the school, he spends his
time and strength to disorganize
and destroy it. He has publicly
and privately urged teachers and
students to leave the school at the
end of the year. He has given the
time for which the Trustees are
paying him $500 a month to pub
fishing and circulating articles
attacking the Institute, and in Wis.
iting lawyers who are engaged, il
we may believe the newspapers, to
conduct a suit for 100000 dam
ages against the Institute he is paid
to serve"

THIRTY TO FORTY Persisted
Terrible Marine Disaster Near
San Francisco.
WRECK OF THE STEAMSHIP lAQUA
Only Chief Engineer Escaped
Alive.



San Francisco; Jan. 5.-The steamer
Iaqua, which left this city yesterday
afternoon for San Diego, with cargo
of general merchandise, was wrecked
some time last night ON Duxbury Reef,
just outside the Golden Gate, and all
on board with the single exception OF
Chief Engineer Burrill, who was washed
ashore on an overturned boat after
being in the water for two hours. are
believed to have persisted. Details are
meagre, but it Is known that there
were between 80 and 40 persons on
board the i'll fated vessel at the time
Of the accident.
The laqua sailed from Eureka several
days ago for San Pedro, and put In
here yesterday to land some passen-
gers. As soon as that duty had been
attended to Capt. Basch put to sea
again. How the disaster occurred is
not known, but there was heavy swell
ON outside the heads last night, and it
Is probable that the unfortunate vea-
sci, drifting too near the reef in the
haze that overspread the water, was
thrown upon the rocks by the swell.
She is total loss.
Chief Engineer Burrill reached the
shore and telephoned to William G.
Mugan, representative of Dolber and
Carson, agents for the vessel in this
city, saying the steamer was in distress
and asking for assistance. TUGS at
once started for the scene of the disas-
tor.
n These facts we're communicated by
Mr.. Dolbet early this morning, but he
could give no further facts. 'pMr. Dol
Der said the steamer was on her way to
this port, but in this hs evidently is
mistaken, as the records Of the Mer-
chants Exchange show that she cleared
for San Pedro at 4. 80 O'Clock Yesterday
afternoon. How the engineer got ashore
neither Mr.. Dolber nor anyone else
seems to know. Burrill probably was
too excited to give details.
At 2 o'clock this morning 1t was re-
ported from Point Reyes that the YES
sci had gone to pieces, and as no more
boats came ashore, the presumption is
that the 20 or 40 people known to have
been on board were drowned. 1t is of
course possible that the other boats
may have landed their passengers at
some point where 1t was not possible
to communicate with the city quickly,
and it is also possible that the resouing
tugs may have arrived ON the scene in
time to pick them up.

Burial Party Found Horse Alive.

A Penn's Grove. N. j., special says !:
"a few days ago Charles tanning and
Howard Stepler. who, with other
powder workers, live at Pennsville,
made a number of trips in a naphtha
launch but the cold weather has
stopped navigation, SO Messrs. LanniDg
and Stepler purchased horse for SIS
aud agreed to take their fellow
workmen back and forth. Two trips
were made, when the animal APP
parently died. The remains we're hauled
to field, the intention being to bury
then. The following day the owners
appeared on the scene with shovels
with which to dig a grave, but they
were surprised to see the horse stand
ing where they had left il for dead,
calmly nibbling at the weeds. Don
was hltched to the wagon again and
now carries the load OF workmen be
tween the towns with more vigor than
before.'

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION.
An Important Government Work in whici

An Important Government Work in Which
Judge Gray 10 Interested.
The Smithsonian Institution, of which
Judge George Gray has been appointed
one Of th2 regents. 10 an establishment
in Washington for the advancement Of
learning under the patronage OF the
United States government, Tt was
organized In 1876. Its founder was
Jamss Smithson, whose will WAS found
to contain the following clause in re-
lation to a rssiduary bequest: 81 be-
queath the whole of my property to
the United States u America, to found
at Washington, under the name of the
Smithsonian Institution, an establish
ment for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men," In 1885 the
United States legation in London was
notified that his estate. amounting in
value to about 500, 600, was held in
possession Of the accountant general Of
the British Court of Chancery. As
soon as the facts became public great
opposition to the acceptance Of this
gift arose in Congress-. Eminent states
argued that il was beneath the dignity
of the United States 10 receive presents
and that tho donor was seeking i'm
vanity iOl lOO lbObbfut0 III tHulNh-
lent. The acceptance of the gift was
ardently advocated ty others under the
leadership of ex- President John Quincy
Adams. Richard Rush was finally APP
pointed agent to prosecute the clam.
He proceeded to London, entered suit
10 the Court of Chancery in the name
of the President of the United States,
and owing to the generous tolerance OF
the British authorities, brought the
matter to conclusion in less than
two years. The decision was favorable.
This legacy was received by Mr.. Rush
in the form OF l04, 900 sovereigns,
which were delivered by him on
September LIST, 1888, to the Philadel-
phia mint and Immediately recoined
ia United States money producing
sos 3l8. &c, the first instalment of the
legacy. This was soon afterward in
creased to S515, 1863 and in 1867 by
residuary legacy Of S26 210. 63 to S541,
379. 49, The total sum derived frnm
the founders beneiioeDce by careful
management was increased in 1857 to
$3.50, 600.
The Smithsonian inet,tution was
formally established by aat of Con-
gress approved August 10th, 1876. The
objects OF the institution are to in
crease knowledge by original investi-
cations and study either in science or
literature and to liffuse knowledge not
only through the United States but
everywhere by promoting an inter-
change Of thought among those promi-
nent in learning in all nations. No
restriction Is made In favor of any one
branch of knowledge. The Smithsonian
Institution is by law the custodian Of
the National Museum, OF which the
secretary of the institution is the legal
keeper. The building occupied by the
Institution and bearing its name is an
ornate structure of Seneca brownstons,
occupying prominent place iu the
mall which extends from the Capitol
to the Washington Monument. 1t was
planned by James Renwick, Jr., and
in course OF construction from l847 to
1855. 1t is an object Of interest to
visitors to Washington.

MALL MISSION AND ITS WORK.

Successful Evangelical Movements Estab-
lished in Paris.
Thirty years ago an Englishman and
bis wife went to Paris for the fret
time. The Rayeties of that bright city
had little attraction for them; but it's
needs filled their hearts with desire to
preach the Gospel to these people,
whose hearts were hungry for it's
teachings. This desire prompted to
work, ard so was begun the great
McAll Mission. which has stations
now ali over France, supports two
Gospel boats on the rivers OF that
country, and counts its meetings in
the year by thousands. As begin
ming to the work, q room was rented
in Belleville, the workingman's DIS
triet Of Paris, and religious meeting
held. at which 40 people we're present.
Gradually other halls were opened,
Sunday schools started, mothers meet
ings organized, until 20 years later,
when Robert MoAll dieu, 1876 centres
of work were in operation.
The founding of this Evangelical
Mission was celebrated at the Ameri-
can Sunday school Union, Philadel-
phia. this morning. There is branch
OF the mission in Wilmington.
