The report of the burning of St
Edwards College at Austin last
Thursday night states that the
main building, containing the dor
mitory and class rooms was burned,
the loss amounting to $4,000.
The fire occurred early in the even
ing, and the students were FORUM
ately all on the playground, none
being injured. About hundred OF
the boys where sheltered that night
at the Deaf and Dumb school.
Judge James B. Wells happened to
be in the city and took seventeen
of the students who were from this
part of the state to the Driskill no.
tel. Some of the Brownsville boys
will return home at once, but others
will probably remain in Austin for
a time.

improvements The management
In The Park. is planning some
extensive improvements in the park,
and Mr.. Backland will start on
them as soon as he is relieved
from the stewardship. The mid
die of the park will be filed in
and re-sodded and the space will
be leveled. As it is now, there
is depression in the center
of the park which, after severe
rain, is somewhat Doggy. At such
times the lawn is easily cut up
and is difficult to keep in condi-
ton. The alterations will make
decided improvement in the ap-
pearance of the enclosure and will
make it much better place for
the sick men.
