The Valparaiso Earthquake,

The great calamity which has
overtaken the principal CONNER
cial and manufacturing city of
Chile will excite the sympathy
of Americans and financial aid
will be cheerfully given if it is
necessary. The San Francisco
disaster is still fresh in the minds
of Americans, and they readily
realize the intensity of the terror
and suffering and commercial
paralysis which have overtaken
Valparaiso.
Just as San Francisco is the
chief port ard commercial CEN
ter Of the Northern Continent,
so is Valparaiso Of the Pacific
Coast of South America, the peo-
pie of both cities being agrees
sive and possessed of an indom-
liable spirit.
Chileans are known as the
Yankees of South America"
and it is to be expected that the
courage which restored San Fran
cisco will also be shown by the
people of Valparaiso. The Amer
lean interests in the nitrate, gold
and silver fields and in the oil
lands of Chile will doubtlessly
help in the restoration of the
wrecked and burned city.
The loss of life and property
at Santiago and other places in
Chile is considerable, but it is
not to be compared to that sus-
tanned at Valparaiso, where it is
most likely aid will be required
to alleviate the wants of the
sufferers.

StonewaII Jackson Institute
For Young Ladies.
Abingdon, Va.

One of the surest signs Of the
development Of the South is the
prosperity of it's schools. We note
with real congratulation the sue
cess of Stonewall Jackson Insti-
tute for Young Ladies, at Abing-
don, Virginia.
There are few schools, if any,
in the country that are doing a
greater work for our girls. The
teachers come into close personal
touch with them, thus creating a
real home atmosphere. In a
quiet, unostensible way, the
school impresses it's stamp of cul-
ture, refinement and high chris
tian character upon the pupils.
It has a high curriculum, ex-
cellent advantages in music, and
the usual extras required in
schools for girls; and in addition,
it is keeping abreast with the
demands of the times and the
changed conditions in the south
by having an industrial depart
ment, in which cooking, sewing
and wood carving are. taught
practically.
Abingdon ranks first in health
in the state Of Virginia according
to the statistical report of the
year, and the school has always
been noted for the care taken Of
the health of it's pupils.
Under the present admlnlstra-
ton, improvements have been
! made amounting to $40, 900. 90,
and more are contemplated.
This excellent institution be-
longs to the Abingdon Presby-
terry, not to private individuals,
and is run for the benefit of the
people, and not as a money MAX
ing machine; hence the low price
charged as compared with other
schools of equal scholastic ad-
vantages.
Parents with daughters to be
sent from home to be educated
would do well to consider the
merits of the Stonewall jackson
Institute of Abingdon, Virginia.
