with all the war and with many

1918 eight baptlsms. twelve SUNDAY
Schools with 1913 pupils. five Sunday
Schools and one boarding school

having done the full years work, and
the gospel was preached in fifty
places. Two native preachers have
been ordained, one new church or
ganized and one new day school
ogened.
ALREADY in 1914 we have opened
another new school with twenty, six

Nsw Mis.ion seaeel II MsxIeO

on the 3lst OF January the new st.
Andrews school for BOYS was OPP
ened In fhe little village Of Zspapan,
3 suburb 81 Gnadalsjsra, Mexico.
The buildings are as yen incomplete,
dut enough has been done TO enable
the work to be carried ON effective
iy. The reception at the opening OF
school was attended by the mayor
OF the city.and representative people
from all the foreign colonies as we'll
as by many native Mexicans. An
Interesting feature of the day was
visit from the entire commission OF
Japanese naval officers from the
emperor's ship Itzuma. The fact
that these Japanese officers as we'll
as some OF the most distinguished
Mexicans of Gnadalajara made a
special visit to comparatively
small and obscure American mis-
sion school seems fraught with sig
nificance Of the good Will existing
toward us.
The number Of pupils is daily IN
ereasing and the work seems to have
a most promising future before it.
One OF the features OF the school is
farming. All Of the boys spend q
part OF the time In practicing sgri-
culture-the profits of which will go
to detray the expenses OF the school.

CAUGHT BY U. 5. CAVALRY
Wrecked Vengeance on Villa by Wrecking Passenger Train in Tun. mel and Causing the Death of 41 Passengers, Including Americans.

El Paso, Tex, Feb. 17-Maximo Castillo the Mexican bandit charged with responsibility for the Cumbre tunnel disaster, in which ten Ameri- cans and 41 others lost their lives, was captured 3S miles south of Hach- ita, N. NJ, today by American troops.
 The information was conveyed to. day to Gen. Hugh l.. Scott. command ant at Fort Bliss, in an official tele- gram from Capt. White, Ninth Unit ed States cavalry.
 With the bandit was six of his fol- lowers, who, according to Capt. Whites report, surrendered without a fight. They will be brought here.
 Castillo, to avoid a range of noun tains on the Mexican side, made a detour which brought him into Amer ican territory. Capt. White was Oh the watch, having received informa- ton from Walter Mccormick, AmerN can manager of Las Palomas ranch, on the Mexican side, that the much wanted man was in the vicinity.
 Whether the prisoner shah be sur rendered to the rebels is legal ques- ton which remains to be settled. If this is done there is no doubt that he will be executed for the Cumbre dis aster. He is not charged with any crime on this side.

 The band of outlaws, under heavy guard, is marching overland to Hach- ita and should arrive about midnight Charles McDow, prominent rancher who knows Castillo, identified them and the latter made no attempt to deny it. VI
 Capt White will ask that Castillo and Capt. Emilio Garcia, member of the band previously captured, be transported immediately to El Paso' as the number of soldiers on duty here is limited

At ca,e Time Soldiers In This Country
Enjoyed the Privilege.


The postotfice was first established
for the principal and in some countries
for the exclusive purpose of carrying
official correspondence by mail. Later
in France, Great Britain and the
United States because of the great ex-
pansion and commercalization of the
postal system the free carriage of mail
matter came to be regarded as privi-
lege and this privilege was claimed by
persons in official position.
In England the house of commons
claimed the privilege as early as 1860.
1t was abolished in Great Britain.
however. by the passage of Rowland's
cheap postage measure in 1889. In the
United States the first appearance OF
the franking privilege is traceable to
the action of the Continental congress
assuming control of the postofice in
January. 1776. 1t is interesting to
learn that it was then granted to all
private soldiers actually in service for
all letters they might write or that
might be written to them.
In the early years of the United
States government the privilege was
granted widely. but it soon became
necessary to restrict it. An act OF
