in regular instruction. The classes have been small, less than fifteen in number, on the average. An ample
 time has been allowed for real scholar fly work. A preparatory department has been added and boys cannot enter
 at a comparatively youthful age and complete theiir preparation for college in the regular course. The alumni committee has recently sent out for the
 second year and appealed to former
 members of the school for financial aid
 in making improvements. This has met with a pleasant response, not only in money, but in letters of warm in- teresti and encouragement. The funds thus secured together with the moneys
 generously given by the trustees ana other friends of the school, will make it possible for the standard already set to be maintained and elevated durng
 the comng year. But while these con ditions are gratifying much remains to Ibe done. The schools scope of work
 would be much wider if it's facilities could be improved. The building which it occupies is somewhat antiqua- ted and needs to be thoroughly recon
 structed or else to be replaced, possibly in a less public portion of the city
 The endowment should be increased un- til all anxiety as to the schools pernla- hence shall be insured. Scholarships for the use of worthy but poor boys are much needed. Plans for the accom- plishment of these ends are under con sideration, and trust that they will be much advanced before we meet again for the next years exercises. By a brilliant record of many years, Hop
 kins has shown it's right to appeal not
 only to it's former members, but espec- ially to all public-spirited citizens of New Haven for their sympathy and
 financial support. A large sum of mon
 ey is needed to carry out the plans which the schools friends have in mind. I believe that this will be forth eominig at the proper time. The future holds proud record in store for the Hopkins Grammar school.
 Members of the class of 1904: That you will be loyal to Hopkins I do not doubt. You go from here with, the heartiesit good wishes of those who have been your teachers and whom hope you have learned to know as your friends. Our interest will follow you throughout your college and business
 careers. Lofty characters and success
 are on your parts and will rebound as well to our satisfaction as to the glory of Hopkins On behalf of the trustees and teachersi of the school I bid you farewell and God-spsed.

PARIS. Jan. 26.-The Chilean consul
general in Paris is Investigating an ex-
traordinary and mysterious win case. in
which the Convent of the Assumption

eral received a telegram from her rela-
tives in Chile stating that they mad re-
ceived intelligence Of her death, and
asking that he make the necessary in
quiries and attend 10 the funeral ar
rangements.
He at once visited the convent and
found that the funeral had already
taken place. He asked the superior of
the convent if Mile. Consino had left
any papers. and was informed that she
had destroyed them all before her death.

Further inquiries revealed the extraor-
binary fact that she had left her whole
fortune 10 an utter stranger, M Eugene

1t is this point which has to be cleared
up. for the Chilean law provides that

The superior of the convent then said
that the young woman had come TO live
with them for the sake Of solitude and
quietness. but she had never taken re-
ligious vows. nor was Il ever c0ntem-
plated that she should do SO.

Korean Minister Has Lived Life of Hermit in

Korea and Korean diplomacy have al

even less communicative than his prede-
cessors. He is a real Sphynx. a book
closed to the entire diplomatic colony

an opportunity to see him.
Diplomatists are at a loss to know
whether Minhui Che Is a hermit by ma
ture or has been living 10 himself under
instructions from his government. The
gray legation in Iowa Circle over which
the blue and white flag of Korea flies
