Mr.. 9. +. Brown,
Editor ALMA RECORD,
Alma, Mich.

DEAR SIR So
My attention has been called 10 mum
erous statements in the press that the
House Committee on Indian affairs has
reduced the estimate for the Mount
Pleasant Indian School for the next ifs.
cal year from $50 go toS6l,sO0. In a
certain sense this statement is correct,
but it is likely 10 be misleading. The
estimate prepared by Superintendent +
q. Nardin was $50, go, and the Indian
appropriation Bill which passed the
House on February 2lst, inst. contained
an appropriation for the Mount Pleasant
Indian School of S6l 500; which figures
were in accordance with the estimate
and recommendation of the Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs, approved by
the Secretary Of the Interior. The re.
sponsiblity for this reduction rests,
therefore, not with the House Committee
on Indian affairs, but with the Depart.
ment of the Interior, as representing the
necessities of the school.
In addition to the Sol 500 recently ap.
propriated, the school has, unused and
available for the purposes named, the
| following sums:
For Iospital............ ...... 5000 u
For Al additional Mess Hail .... ....... 5000 %
| Balance OF appropriation OF 10000.
For pormitCry, available FOR missing Eli 6a2b u
| To provide Water supply. ..,......... $500 q
Making a total amount Of $S0, $50, now
available to meet the needs of the school.
The amount appropriated for current
expenses, education, maintenance, etc
of 250 Indian pupils is SOC, 600, or 500
for support of each Indian.
Yours truly,
A. Il. DARRAGH.

Literary Notes.

The never-failing complete novel of
Lippincott's Magazine for March is a
brilliant story by Francis Willing
Wharton, who, despite the masculine
spelling of her name, is said TO be a
lady of social rank in Philadelphia.
This short novel is written with con-
tagious dash, as much of her previous
work has been, and tells Of the adven-
lures of a young woman of fashion who
wanted more thrilling experiences than
those furnished by the afternoon tea
table or the monotonous ballroom.
She carried on wild Irritation with
the elderly uncle Of her true lover
and as final stroke masqueraded in his
company at a country. fair. This brought
comedy near to tragic end and secured
sound punishment for the old beau but
IL brought the twain together whom
matt re had ordained for each other and
end ed the story in breeze. There is a
simplicity and charm about Mrs. Whar.
tons stories that win them enduring
friends.
