A R*»um« of the Less Importent but
Not Less Interesting Events
of the Pest Week.
New O rleans, Sept. I.—Fire which
broke out in the center of the com ­
mercial district Sunday afternoon
swept over portions of three blocks,
destroying a large num ber of whole­
sale houses, m anufacturing houses
and stores. O riginating at Brinnville
and C hartres streets, the flames
worked their way north as far as
Conti street and west to Royal, with
a loss of between one and two mil­
lions of dollars before the flames
were finally subdued.
A t the time the alarm was turned
in. shortly before 3 o ’clock, the New
O rleans firemen were in the m idst of
their annual picnic at a suburban
park, and the engines and patrols
responded with a mere handful of
men. It was fully an hour before the.
departm ent was in position to make
anything like a successful fight
against the fire, -and even then the
handicap against it was added to by
an inadequate supply of water.
"The fire was one of the m ost spec­
tacular that has occurred in New O r­
leans during recent years.
Tw o warehouses filled with wines
and liquors were am ong the buildings
destroyed. B arrels of whisky and
brandy exploded with thunderous
roars, which could be heard for
blocks, which shook the walls of ad­
joining buildings and endangered the
lives of firemen engaged in fighting
the flames.
It was not until several hours had
elapsed that the fire was gotten un­
der control, and even then it contin­
ued to burn well into the night.
Am ong the establishm ents burned
are: Central Glass Company, George
D. Scott Lighting and Electrical In ­
strum ent Compand, Heidenheim , Levy
& W eiss, shirt m anufacturers; Noon

New Instructors, Books and Appa­ School Attendance in a Majority ot
ratus Added at Eugene.
Counties Shows Incre se.
Eugene—The work of the Univer­
sity of Oregon during the coming year
will be the strongest in the history
of the institution, due to the fact that
the working tools of the university,
books, apparatus, etc., have been much
bettered during the summer. The li­
brary has been greatly strengthened
by the addition of $10,000 worth of
new books, and much new apparatus
has been ordered for all departments.
The biological laboratory has been al­
most completely remodeled and many
improvements have been made the in
the physics laboratory. Many of the
buildings have been renovated and the
new library building, which was whol­
ly without lights, and but scantily
furnished last year, is being complete­
ly equipped with electric lights and
new furniture. Hereafter the general
reading rooms and the stack rooms
will be kept open until 9 o’clock in the
evening.
A number of new instructors have
been added, notably a professor of ge­
ology, a chair that has been vacant
since the death of Dr. Condon; a pro­
fessor of political science and assistant
professor of psychology, an assistant
professor of education, a new head li
brarian and a number of instructors in
departments that have been badly
crowded.
Work on a new recitation building
to relieve the over-crowded condition
of other buildings is being pushed, and
it is hoped to have it ready for use
soon after the opening of the session.
The girls’ dormitory has been com
pleted and furnished. A number of
new student club houses have been
erected during the summer. The work
of improving the campus is bemg
pushed as rapidly as possible.
The number of students will prob­
ably be from a third to a half greater
than last year. Applications for ad
mission are coming to the registrar
rapidly, and the number on file is much
larger than usual at this time. The
freshman class will number between
200 and 250 students. The fall session
begins Tuesday, September 22.
Salem—The operation of Oregon’s
new compulsory education law which
has been under one year of practical
demonstration has been very satisfac­
tory according to the reports received
by Superintendent of Public Instruc­
tion Ackerman. The statistics of the
biennial report also bear out this state­
ment. There are several counties were
the per cent of attendance has fallen
down but an especial effort will be
made during the approaching school
year to extend the operation of the law.
Under this law parents may be fined
from $5 to $25 if they do not compel
their children to gq to school. The law
provides that truant officers be appoint­
ed for every district in the state to re­
ceive $2 for each day’s work.
The truant officer may notify the par­
ents first and then if not action is tak­
en a complaint will be brought against
them in court. The county superin­
tendents must furnish each teacher
with the census roll of their district.
The teacher is compelled to report
every four weeks those who are not at­
tending school. If the superintendents
or teachers violate any of these pro­
visions they are subject to a fine of
from $6 to $20.
San Francisco, Aug. 31.—City A t­
torney L ong has furnished the board
of education an opinion dealing with
the question of the adm issibility of
native-born Chinese children to pub­
lic schools o th er than schools estab­
lished for them . In brief, he holds
th at the question of nativity has no
bearing on the case; th at Chinese
children are M ongolians, irrespective
of birthplace, and th at if special
schools of equal standing are not pro­
vided for them , they are entitled to
attend any school. T he opinion is
given in response to a query from the
board of education with reference to
the request of the parents of three
native-born Chinese m aidens who
wished their daughters to attend
schools o th er than the O riental
school.
T he political code provides that
every school shall be open for the
adm ission of all children between 6
and 21 years of age, residing in the
district. T his section also authorizes
boards of education to establish sep­
arate schools for Indian, Chinese or
M ongolian children, and provides that
when such schools are established,
such children m ust not be adm itted
to any other school.
The object of the law is clearly to
segregate the white children of the
public schools from those of M on­
golian or Indian descent, and is not
to deny the latter any of the equal
rights guaranteed by the constitution.

Bellows Falls, Vt., Aug. 31.—“The

all they care for, is clothes—the latest
shape in skirts. And they are none

vacation of : a m onth. W hen dinner
was announced on the train, she p ro ­
duced an apple and three crackers
from her reticule and cheated the
dining car.
“ I do not say the Am erican women

London, Sept. 1.—A new industry,

fessor
Carm ody,
who
presented
some specimens of the paper to the
Trinidad board of agriculture, the fu­
ture of the new industry is assured,
as the dem and for fiber is great, and
Trinidad, according to the professor's
calculation, ought to produce about
40,000 tons of fiber from the canes
ground annually.
Paper made from bam boo fiber is
said to retain its w hiteness and to es­
cape attack on the part of insects.
P rofessor Carm ody produced a copy
of a paper-m akers’ journal, printed on
paper made in 1879, from fiber of
bam boo, which showed no signs of
yellowing, and was otherw ise in a
perfect state.

Springfield, 111., Aug. 2 9 —T he wife
of Scott Burton, the first negro
lynched in the recent riots here, has
made no attem pt to settle with the
city for the death of her husband
heretofore, but today filed suit for
the $5,000 which the law allows to
the heirs of persons who are killed by
mobs. It is announced also that a
sim ilar suit will be filed by the heirs
of William Donnegan, another negro'
who was lynched.
The heirs of four o th er negroes
killed during the rioting cannot ob­
tain the money because they were
killed by stray bullets or in open bat­
tle and were not slain by the mob.
P ro p erty owners continue to file
suits for damages aganist the city, and
the sum of the claims already made
is o v ir $50,000.
It is expected that these cases will
be given preference in the courts and
will receive quick action. The gen­

Fifteen People Drowned by Storm in
New Mexico.
Trinidad. Colo., Aug. 2 9 —A flood
in the Cimmaron river, following a
cloudburst, washed away a num ber of
dwellings' at Folsom, N. M„ last night,
and 15 persons are reported to have
been drowned. Twelve bodies have
been recovered. Tw o miles of track
and 12 bridges on the Colorado &
Southern Railroad were washed out.
T rains will be laid out 48 hours.
M eager advices received here today
say that the entire city was swept by
the floods caused by the cloudburst.
Many houses were swept com pletely
away, and nearly every house in the
town was damaged to some extent.
The advices say searching parties
have been formed, and th at it is ex­
pected many m ore bodies will be
found before night.
Folsom is in the northeastern part
of New Mexico, near Raton, on the
Santa Fe Railroad. Its elevation is
about 7,000 feet, and it is constantly
in danger of floods, which sweep
down from the surrounding m ountains
whenever there is a cloudburst or
heavy rain in the hills.
