Something Practical.

Ia cannot be said of those who
take a business course in Tyler Col
lege that they will have it all to
learn over again when they 20 into
actual business. ga EEseEE
Students learn to do by doing
there what they must afterwards do
in the actual business affairs of life.
They actually transact every item
OF business that goes on their books.
The knowledge Of business they
get is worth more than a knowledge
of how to keep its books.
The school is said have the larg-
est attendance and the most extern
sive business offices To be found in
the South. 1t has also exclusi 3

may wish TO utilize the spring and
summer months IN preparing to
earn better wages in the fall to
write Tyler College at Tyler, Texas,
Tor free catalogue and full particu-
lars.
There is something So intensely
practical about everything there
that it cannot but command the re-
spect of intelligence.
We have often thought something
akin to this would be grand in con.
nectiOn with the public schools.

broke them off. The sparrows, screams
ing and chattering in indignant pro-
test, flew out of their nests. Then,
straight down from the heavens, there
came driving, pelting storm of hail
and torrent of water. Instantly the
cries of the frightened birds were
hushed and they lay in thousands dead
on the ground. 1t was the deadliest
calamity that has overtaken sparrow
dom since the first emigrants of the
family left their homes in the London
chimneys to seek their fortunes in
America.
Yes sterday morning little girl in
bedraggled skirts wandered about in
the mud picking UP birds that were
not yet dead. She wept as she stroked
the little things and asked in plying
tones if they were hurt.
The little girls papa, who keeps
refreshment stand at Smelling and
University, went about with a bushel
basket gathering up the bodies of the
dead birds.
I'm afraid the bodies will make the
neighborhood unbearable," said the
man.
He gathered many basketsful-
5000 bodies altogether-and put them
in pile in an open lot near his house.
Then he dug a great hole and buried
them all in common grave.
They did not die unwept, for the
small girl sobbed over a survivor and
asked if his mamma was dead, too.

APPEALS FOR LAKE
SUPERIOR COMPANY
President Shields, of the Con-
soIidated, Predicts Disaster
If Money Doesn't Come.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 27.-Presf-
dent Shields of the Consolidated Lake
Superior company, has made another
appeal to the stockholders of the COM
pany for financial assistance. In a cir
cular letter sent to the stockholders he
announces that unless the proposed
$12,500,000 bond issue is taken the
whole property must pass into the
hands Of the creditors.
The creditors are New York and
Philadelphia banks, headed by Speyer
& Co.. of the former city, who hold all
available collateral security of the
company for three loans, amounting to
$5,050,000. The Lake Superior COM
pany is capitalized at $102, 200, 900, of
which $70,000,000 is held in this city.
President Shields. in his appeal, says:
"The Consolidated Lake Superior
company is in critical condition,
from which it can be rescued only by
prompt and decisive action on the part
of the stockholders: BY means of the
issue of $12,500,000 of thirty-year per
cent bonds there must be provided the
full amount of $500, 900 with which to.
take care of the temporary loan of
$5,050.000 and about s1,500,000 of cur
rent debts.
Unless this entire sum can be pro-
vided in some way, the whole prop
erty must pass into the hands of the
creditors; and forced liquidation, with
all of the works idle and unproductive,
is sure to result in the sacrifice of
great part of the investment On the
other hand, if the s7,500,000 can be
provided, the company will be free of
its floating Indebtedness. with working
capital sufficient to carry on it's bust
ness, and in position to earn double
the amount of it's fixed charges"

In blaze of glory. with incidental
summer carnival was opened last
night in manner which indicates
that it will be successful beyond the
hopes of even it's most enthusiastic
and optimistic promoters.
Regardless of the inclement weather,
the lateness Of the opening hour and
the unpopularity of first nights" 6.211
people paid their way into the grounds
and witnessed as beautiful sight as
could be seen anywhere. Thousands
of electric lights turned night into day
and the carnival colors-in evidence
everywhere-addedt to the brilliancy Of
the occasion, the whole producing an
effect most pleasing to the eye.
Once inside the grounds, the people
entered into the carnival spirit, and
from time to time the gates were
thrown open until 1t was "all over"
the noise was almost deafening. Noise
producing instruments of every imag-.
Unable description served to assist the
spielers and bands in racking the
nerves of the more timid ones.
But it was carnival and what is a
merrymaking?
The terrific storm of yesterday
morning. with it's destructive winds,
had retarded somewhat the progress
of the exhibitors, nearly all of whom
had prepared to decorate their booths
yesterday and be in readiness for the
opening last night. On account of the
threatening weather. which lasted up
to the very hour of opening, many of
the booths were not in order. but with
good weather today. workmen will be
on the grounds bright and early, and
the carnival will tonight present a very
different appearance. Nearly every
booth on the grounds has been dis
posed of. and the exhibitors are ex-
pected to be in readiness for the
crowds tonight.
From one end of the brilliantly
lighted grounds to the other. the thou

The opening parade Of this carnival
time was a marked success, from
Lieut.. Budy's platoon Of mounted off,
GERS to the last decorated supply wagon
Of the fire department.
Despite the threatening rain clouds,
vast numbers of the populace crowded
in the streets on the line of march,
while the more fortunate ones sought
out windows in store buildings or
spread themselves along the second
story window lodges.
Being an exhibition drive of the fire
department, the imposing drum major
and the producing bump of the
bass drum were missing, except with
the knights of Pythias band at the
head, but the clang of gongs, the rum
BILE of the heavy wheels down the
streets, the red fire and the decorated
apparatus was enough for the popu-
lace. The features of the parade hur-
ried by too fast to permit prolonged
cheering, but the people enjoyed it.

paratus rolled by were the spectators
allowed to forget the object of the
parade and the carnival-it was all for

This Alarms Ecclesiastics.
A proclamation was posted in the
streets tonight inviting citizens to the
annual commemoration of the death of
King Humbert. which will take the
form of a procession through the
streets. to the Pantheon Early in the
morning of July 20, under the auspices
of patriotic and other societies. the
Italians will visit the tomb of Hum
bert, at the Pantheon, and decorate it
with flowers. Commemorative exer-
cises at the capitol will follow. For
this event King Victor Emmanuel will
return to Rome on Wednesday. Queen
Margherita will arrive tomorrow.
The ecclesiastics view the approach
ing ceremony with some alarm, believ
ing that the anti-clericals may take
advantage of the opportunity to make
counter demonstration against the
sympathy exhibited all over Italy in
connection with the death of the pope.
