School Closing.

The school exhibition at Victoria
Friday evening was a very creditable
affair and showed that the teachers.
Misses Grace Hamilton and Lula
Locke, of McMinnville, had been fully
awake TO the duties of their position
Unfortunately for those who came to
see and hear, the audience had not sat
down when the program commenced,
and as one man disgustedly remarked,
kept getting higher and higher until a
goolly portion were standing on top of
the desks to get squint at things. 1t
was the most elevated function we ev-
er attended, but the exercises were ex-
cellent.

BUSINESS SECTION OF
SEWANEE BURNED
Students Do Heroic Work in
Saving the Postof6ce.
Small Insurance.

SEWANEE, Tenn, Dec. 2.-The
business section Of Sewanee was almost
entirely wiped out by fierce fire this
morning at an early hour. The fire
originated in the store of Bates &
Sneed at about 10 a. m. and before
help could arrive it gained such head
way that the buildings occupied by
Rosebough & James and Preston S.
Brooks, in addition to two smaller
structures, we're burned to the ground
The loss is roughly estimated at $16, :
900, while the insurance carried is
said to be less than half that amount
When the alarm was given the entire
student body of the university, togeth-
er with number of the academy boys
and citizens of the town, rushed to the
aid of the unfortunate merchants. A
brisk north wind was blowing, and in
less than an hour after the fire was
discovered the buildings were in a
smouldering ruin, with practically all
the stock they contained. The heroic
work of the students, however, saved
the building occupied by the express
company and the postoffice, in addi-
tion to saving portion of the stock
carried in the store of Preston Brooks.
The building occupied by Rosebor
ough & James and Preston Brooks wa,
recently purchased by W. s. Davis,
of Nashville for "a, 500, and it is stat
ed by responsible parties on the noun
tain that he carried policy for only
$2, 900.

ision is made for only one high school

and as Sequachee is bidding for the
school, let the good people of that
town have it. They trade extensively
with our merchants, and the little i'm
petus such school would give that
place commercially would be also felt
here. Besides Jasper has plenty of
schools, and then, too, high school
here would operate against our justly
admired Pryor Institute. Pshaw, can t
you see point Let there be but one
high school in the county, and that at
Sequachee, and that will help our
place better than a third of school
here.

WatehOrn Visits England and Dis
cusses Immigration with
Haldane.

London, April 4.-Although Commits
sioner Watohorn's visit is private, he has
been looking into the workings of the
British alien immigration act and has
been discussing the subject with Secre-
tary Haldane and Chief Inspector Porter.
The discussion centered principally en-
the white slaves and the anarchists, in
both of which the British government is
equally interested with the United States,
as regards repressive measures.
When the immigration of these two
classes was discussed by Watchorn and
Porter three years ago. the latter showed
himself especially doubtful as 10 the mer-
its of the British act in regard to the
working clause under which steamship
companies bringing emgrants 10 the
United Kingdom for tr8nsshipment 10
the United States are compelled to give a
guarantee Of 81, 900 that the immigrants
Will not remain in this country. This
clause has since been fully enforced with
beneficial results far beyond Porter's ex-
pectations.
Commissioner Watchorn is gratifed es-
peeially as regards the vigorous appliea-
tion Of the alien law against anarchists.
Without an understanding. a sort Of re-
ciprocal working has sprung up regarding
anarchists, and now what America aims
at achieving and what Inspector Porter is
extremely willing 20 cooperate in accom-
plishing is the suppression Of the white
slave dealers.
Those nefarious traders are going to
find their area Of operations greatly cir
cumscTibed, now that England is narrow

Victor Emmanuel said to BE Not
Seriously AveFse to Miss Elkins.
Rome, April 4-Although the reported
engagement Of the Duke OF the AbFuzzi
TO the daughter of Senator Elkins has
occasioned grave displeasure in certain
quarters, there is good reason for stating
that King Victor Emmanuel himself is
not seriously averse to the marriage.
The Italian monarch's private senti-
ments in these matters are strongly dem
ocratic, and even soeialistic, in their
trend Both King Victor and Queen Mar
gherita cherish particular pride and af-
fection for the intrepid royal explorer.
while from the political point of view no
insupeTabIe obstacle TO the Kings con-
sent presents itself. especially since the
dukes chances of succession to the throne
are remote, seeing that. besides the
Crown Prince Humbert. both the Duke OF
Aosta and the Count OF Turin have prior
rights.
Apart from these considerations, it is
pointed out that the young dukes father.
Amadeus of AOsta. married. with the full
consent Of Victor Emmanuel IT. the Ouch
ess of Cisterna, who. though not Of royal
blood, eventually aseended the throne of
Spain. The cases of the Austrian Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand and the alliance
of Napoleon III with Mile. Montijo (the
Empress Eugenie) are also cited.
The profound esteem and intense p0pu-
larity which the gallant Duke of the
Abruzzi enjoys among all classes of So
clety in Italy by reason Of his sterling
personal qualities. viii most assuredly not
be lessened on the score Of his romantic
love match, and the attitude Of the Ital-
ian press is everywhere sympathetic and

and money belonging to a Russian dan

Brussels. The police have established that
he is the much-wanted Guttmann
He was once a brilliant student at Held

Eventually he was arrested and SEN

WOULD BRIDGE CHESAPEAKE.
Baltimore Merchants StiII Work on
Recently Proposed scheme.


Baltimore. Md, April As the building
of a bridge across the Chesapeake Bay
feasible?
This is a matter now being considered
by the executive committee of the Rier-
chants and Manufacturers Association
Tentative plans for a projected bridge
across the bay have been mapped out and
a prospectus drawn up. Copies of the
prospectus have been sent 10 the mem-
bers Of the committee. Should the scheme
seem practicable, the project will proba-
bly, receive the Endorsement Of the assoc
citation. At any rate. it is probable that
the question OF the bridge Will be brought
up at the next meeting Of the executive
committee and the advantages of such a
structure TO the city of Baltimore viii be
fully discussed. Il will. of course. be
some time yet before any definite action
viii be taken.
The Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation has been interested In the pro-
ject for spanning the Chesapeake for sev-
eral weeks. In the March number Of the
Monthly Bulletin, issued by the associa-
ton, there appeared a short article on
the project. which said, in part:

opinions point out its practicability"
