The Body of General Mac Donald
(By the Associated Press.)


Paris, March 26.-The body of Ma jor
General Sir Hector Macdonald, who
committed suicide at the Hotel Regina
here yesterday, was removed to-day to
the British mortuary chapel, where it
will await shipment to its final resting
rlace in Scotland. 1t was said 1T the
British Embassy that no orders have been
received from London concerning the
disposition of the body, and it is expected
that the family of the deceased General
will make the final arrangement. Both
the officials of the British Embassy and
the Consul General Of Great Britain, is
clam aIy knowledge of the existence OF
the letters which were reported to have
been found in table in the room where
the general killed himself.
Efforts had been made TO trace the let
tiers and documents received by Major
General Macdonald from the War Office
shortly before his suicide. as it was
thought that they might throw light on
the motive for the act, but the magis-
trate who has taken charge Of the dead
mans effects, says no letters or docu-
ments were found except some unintel-
ngiblo scribble which would indicate that
the writer was in dazed condition.
The Figaro asserts that one of the let
tiers received by Sir Hector Macdonald
from the War Office on Wednesday morn
ing was an ultimatum ordering him to
leave forthwith for Ceylon, thus destroy

his case by the war authorities in Eng

Training School Notes.

"By the sweat of thy brow and
the stain of thy hands shalt thou
eat pecans' is n truth which none
of the few representatives of the
Training School who spent last
Saturday gathering them will ever
doubt; but neither sweat nor
stain prevented them from gath
ering quite good manv.
To those remaining ut home who
did not have the pleasure of the
days outing, they carried back n
report of the beauty of the land
they had visited and of the many
pecans growing there which was
glowing enough to have done Gre
dit to Caleb and Joshua.
OF the pecans brought back they
SAID little, didn't even want to an
swer questions on the subject /;
but, after few handfuls had been
distributed, put them quietly
away repeating the very express
i've lines of the poet, "Ah, few
shall part where many meet, this
sack shall be their winding sheet. "
Isn't it strange that though 1t
is more blessed to give than to
receive, so many forget and insist
upon receiving?
1t is n pleasure to us, as it will
no doubt be to all friends of the
school, to announce the enroll
ment of seventeen new pupils
during the past week-the largest
increase of any week since the
school began.
To the thinking people of our
town this constant growth means
something more than the advan-
tage that may accrue to those i'm
mediately concerned. 1t means
the growth of an institution that
is to bring to the town at large
an added wealth, not in finances
and education only, but also in
morals and religion-indeed, in
all those forces that look to the
establishment of an influence in
favor of what is best in life. 1t
means, too, that the parents are
beginning to realize that this
school is good place to send
their children.

A Village or a CITY, Which ?

There is tide in the affairs
of men, which taken at the flood
leads on to fortune" applies Is
aptly TO cities as to individuals.
San Angelo has the opportunity of
its life presented to her at this
moment and it is singular the
apathy that prevails to large en-
tent among the city's foremost
business men. The readers Of
the Press will no doubt be sur
prised to learn that San Angelo
has at the present moment very
good chance to lose the Orient
road. The railroad committee
during the past two months has
been much discouraged by the re-
'usal of u number of the subscribe
ers to extend their subscriptions
for the period of eighteen months,
asked for by the railroad. Look
ing at the matter from cold
business standpoint it is difficult
to understand why any friend and
well wisher of this town can re-
fuse to grant the extension asked
by the railroad. Not another
dollar has to be paid until the
road is completed to Sweetwater
and Kansas City. If the road is
never built Gas some contend)
then there can be no objection to
signing the extension, as it en-
wolves no outlay. If the road is
built it is really an advantage to
most subscribers to obtain eigh-
teen months longer in which to
raise their subscriptions. Doubt
less, there are some who refuse,
believing that on account of the
work already done, the road will
come any way-bonus or no
bonus. Such short-sighted in
dividuals might profit by an
examination of the map. 1t can
be easily demonstrated that the
Orient comes out of q straight
line over so miles and through
considerable rough country to get
TO Angelo, and the paltry $50, 900
or $50, 900 expended on the grade
between here and Sweetwater
amounts to nothing in COMPARE
son with what the road can save
by going in on one line from
] Sweetwater west. Imagine if you
can, the plight of San Angelo
with a trunk line west of us and
a competing point, with q
straight shoot to Kansas City,
located about the head of Middle
Concho.
That there would be more
money to the Orient in starting
such town and selling lots than
what Angelo otfers, any business
man with ordinary acumen knows
On top of all this those on the in
side have 1t straight that Dicker-
son the manager, has from the
very moment he took the posi-
ton, been strongly opposed tc
dlverting the road from iti
straight course, to San Angelo
Under all these circumstances the
railroad committee appointed, by
this city, are justified in theil
fea t at unless San Angelo
makes the extention asked for by
the road and does it promptly
