EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
The Spanish Language School.

The educational advantages of the
Capital City are constantly increasing,
and the influx of foreigners is contin-
ually growing greater.
The addition of the Philippine Islands
and Porto Rico to our country, together
with the achievement of her independ-
ence by Cuba, has naturally brought
more strongly to our minds the neces-
slty OF learning the Spanish language as
means of increasing our commerce
with those islands
Prof Jose de Conan, who for several
years taught in the English colony at
Tangier, Morocco. and for the last three
years in Washington, D. c., besides
teaching in New York, Newark, and Gin
cinnati, has opened q school at 1881 New
York Avenue northwest. where Spanish
Is the only language taught, and his
method, combining the good points of
some others, without their disadvan-
tages, has proved wonderfully success
full. many of his pupils having acquired
both reading and speaking knowledge
OF the language in few months.
Prof Gomar's sister. Senorita Clara
de Conan. who has been teaching for
several years in New York city, will
join her brother ia the school in Sep

conduce &c the success OF their school
The Spanish Language School. only
opened last March, has proved a success
from its inception, and the writer can
personally certify TO rapid progress
made under the courteous, patient, and
able teaching of Senior Conan.

HOPI SUPERINTENDENT
WILL Be EXONERATED
Report of Investigation of Charges
Reaches Secretary Hitchcock.

Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
has received the report OF ]. E. Jen-
kins. who was sent to the Moqui reser-
walton IN Arizona TO investigate the
charges that Charles E. Burton. the
superintendent of schools of the Hopi
Indians, had been tyrannical in his
treatment of his wards. and had out
ragged their feelings In various ways.
The charges against Superintendent
Burton. were brought by the Sequoia
League. and the department was re-
quested to send Mr.. jenkins to make the
investigation. The report of Mr.. Jen-
kins shows that the charges were great
ly exaggerated, and that when IL came
to taking evidence the agents of the
league withdrew many of their allega-
lions. The report is said to be an ex-
oneration of the superintendent.
Mr.. Burton was accused of ruthlesly
interfering with the customs of the In
dams and of enforcing literally, and
without judgment, the suggestions IN
the Indian regulations that Indians cut
their hair and adopt civilized modes OF
dress. Besides these general specifca-
lions there were a number Individual
instances mentioned.
The Hopi Indians are so named be-
cause of their love OF peace. They live
on the Moqui reservation, but object to
the name Moquis. as Moqui means
place of the dead"

this year. Already there has been a
heavy run made on the real estate brok-
ers' supply Of dwellings. and they are

are confident will be made later. The
present activity IN the rent market has
inspired investors In real estate TO look
forward TO what is likely to happen next
year.
The outlook is so promising and in
viting that there is no doubt that the
building boom which is now on will be
continued for some time. The increas-
ing number OF apartment houses proves
that such investments are a financial
success. and will result in the number
being greatly increased within the next
year. The apartment house. however.
does not meet all the requirements.
There are people who demand separate
dwellings as places of residence. and
these must be furnished. To meet this
demand the building of smaller dwell
ing houses must also be continued.

One Of the elgreatest political cam
paigns In the history Of Mississippi,
for some years, was opened last Mon
day at Winona. There were at least
from $500 to 1000 people present,
including many Democrats from sur
rounding counties, as we'll as from
other sections OF the State. The
speaking began at 10 O'Clock. in the
morning, the first speaker being Sem
ator A. J. McLauren, who delivered a
forciblc, telling and eloquent speech
of about thirty minutes. He was
frequently applauded. He was fol-
lowed by Hons. E. F. Noel and Frank
A. Critz candidates for Governor.
After dinner Maj. Jas. K. Varda-
man and Hon. A. F. Fox also spoke.
A number of other state candidates
were present, but as it was too late
for any further speeches, they simply
announced their candidacy. 1t was
a great day for Winona and every
thing passed off pleasantly.
The West Point Times in it's last
issue takes the editor of the Okolona
Messenger to task for some of his fool
utterances in reference to the West
Point papers, and blisters him in a
very becoming style. The editor of the
Messenger came from bleeding Kansas
to Okolona about two years ago, and
is running a populite organ and seems
to be trying to run with the Demo.
Gratis, and Populites both, when we
expect if the truth was known, he is
a Republican at heart. OF late hi
has a great deal of abuse in his paper
about ring and clique in jackson
and would have the people believ,
that Jackson is reg ular hell-hole o
rotten politics. We now call upol
him to prove his outrageous assertion
or stand convicted as falsifirer ant
slanderer. Outside Of his uncalle,
for ISLANDERS and vituperation, Mr.
Steinberger gets out a newsy an
creditable paper. We advise him t.
contind himself to facts and not ru
mors and falsehood in the future.

Diversified Farming.

The following interesting article
which shows. some of the good results
of diversified farming in Mississippi,
is from the pen of r. H. Thompson,
vice-presiaent of the Highland Colony,
of Ridgeiand, Miss, and was recently
published in the Southern Farm
Magazines:
Il moved here from Chicago in the
spring of 1897, and we were about the
fifth family of northern people located
in the community. This is now a
colony of about 1000 populations, made
up almost exclusively of northern
families. They are engaged in straw
berry and peach cultivation principal
", but grow also asparagus, cabbage
and tomatoes. A portion OF the
county is also a very fine grass district,
and great many have engaged in
stock-raising.
1--WE paid from 81 to $15 per acre
for our land, but one has to go back now
some three or four miles to get land
at s. per acre. Prices range from $5
to s25 per acre, according to improve
from one to six miles.
"We are on the main line of the
Illinois Central Railroad, eight miles
north OF Jackson. We consider the
southern portion of Madison county
unsurpassed in the state for fruit and
AGRICULTURAL business. Last year there
was about 100000 worth of straw
berries shipped from this vicinity,
and about S25, 900 worth Of peaches.
Off OF a single ten acres of Elberta
peaches we netted $1,000 last year.
The orchard was young, and will pro-
duce a better crop this year than it
did last. Another family netted S35O0
from six acre Elberta orchard. We
know OF some families who have net
ted from $500 to $500 from straw
(berries, and special patch of less
than two acres netted over 5000.
''There are great opportunities here
for northern people with little CAPT
tai, and now is the time for them tt
buy, for lands are rapidly increasing
in value, and will continue to increase
for years to come. The climatic con
Iditions are exceptionally good, an6
