Paul Fretz of Grand Forks, midship
man on th» United States warship
Brooklyn^ which was serft to Beirut at
the time of the attempt on Consul
Magelsson's life, writes some kiter'est
U ing letters home, and from one of
them, recently received, the following
extracts are taken:
A Every one is getting tired of this
place, and no wonder, for we hive been
here ten weeks. The Machias arrived
k.1 here last Thursday morning with the
minister of Abyssinia. She just stay-'
£d long enough to take on coal, and
left again Friday night for Jibotiti. We
are going to coal in the morning, and
the San Francisco Tuesday morning.
1 Rave the fhorfiing Watch from 4 to
8 today, and tiie collier will come
alongside at 530. We are only going
to take on 400 tons, which will be just
enough to diny up everything.
Last Friday was the sultan's birth
day and for the first time-in two
months, the/ town showed some signs
of life. In (the evening the vali (gov
ernor) gav« an open air reception, and
it surely ^s.vsrjr .aipusing.
Very
few.
tf the offers in the^ fleet can talk or
v understate French, and therefore you
can imagine what a time they had
when n»ne of the others could talk
English. Of all the European lan
guages French seems to be the only
one usfd, and almost everyone,. even
the uneducated, can .talk and under
stand/t. The reason for this is, I
think' the large number of French
peop? who came here with the French
railr/iads to Damascus and Antiocty
Als* in i860, during the great mas
salflSfc, Napoleon sent an army of 30,0db
mW here to establish order, and that.
pi^ably influenced the language
s»^e. A few hundred yards from the
JjS River there is a tablet commeffi
yative of the passage of this army.'*
/The Dog River is one of the mftst
Ateresting places about here. »It
jeems that in olden times'the only way
i Irom Egypt to Mesopotamia and Per
sia was to skirt aloug the coast until
they came to this river, and then to
follow it, and thus cross the most diffi
cult part of the mountains. On bot
sides the steep rocky banks of the riv
er are. simply covered with Egyptian
/4 hieroglyphics and Assyrian characters.
jf Jj I suppose it was these inscriptions that
v$ put it into the head of the French gen
eral to leave some -souvenir behind.
The result of this expedition, as is
well knpwn,' wks to five to the prov
ince of Lebanon a Christian governor,
I and tp m?ike it almo^1independent of
the sultan, with the exception of the
payment of a small tribute. It is to
i this province that all the Christians'of
Beirut have fled, and tbey%H refuse
to come back.
Since it has been given a Christian
v governor the province jiasifJ'jmproved
immensely. Factories have been or
are being built, and everything is flour
dishing. The difference is especially no
ticeable as ojfte xfosses Mffefe line. In
stead of s«eftig nuking hut^vMwetcH
-and miserably po«S- people, living
•dilapidated Houses, one finds the farm
ers all well twdo, ahd^ieir homes
clean and neat and comfortable. The
^reason for this is that in the province
1 of Beirut the sultan takes/|the larger
part of a man's salary for faxes, while
in Lebanon he has no right to tax.
•m Oi course if anyone wishes to invest
capital in Bp\ut h? m$r go ahead and
do so, but as soon as his investment
brings profit it is so heavily taxed that
I the inv.fptpr has to
^withdraw it. It
shamfe ahd a disgrace to

of thing should exist, but they are so

Superintendent Login says.that every
teacher and every pupil has befcn work
ing diligently the past few weeks,. that
Nothing of the term's work may be left
undone, with the idea in view that the
N«ftv Year may truly be begun well.
It is plainly apparent that the teach
ers are just as anxious for the holi
day that comes with the Yule tide as
are those who are under, them. The
term just closing has been an arduous
one with many of thein and the two
weeks' rest is felt almost as a neces
sity. i_
Superintendent Logie states that a
number of the teachers and some of the
students are going to avail themselves
of the special rate, a fare and third for
the round trip, which has been offered,
by roads within the western passenger
association, to teachers and students who
(fcsire to go home for the holidays and

new principal of the high school, will
go to Chicago. Nearly all of them ex
pect to return the Saturday before the
reopening of the Schools.
At the high school, this' morning,
there was a departure from the regular
routine during the chapel hour, the first
one for several days, and was an ad
dress by Dean Burleson, brief, but em
phatically to the point. His theme was,
"The Other Side." He stated that edu
cation consists largely in acquiring the
ability to sCe "the otfier side." He had
noticed and it was generally known in
school life that the kss the students
had studied the more they knew, the
freshman knows more than the sophb
mo«, the matter more than, the'junior
an# the latter more than the' seniors,
but when the latter reached the colleges
and~ universities many of them \vill
plainly realize that they had been siftj
ply against elementary courses. The
dean was very happy and practical in all
he had to say and urged his hearers
not to. be one-sided, but occasionally
look oil the other side and it would
help them to «scape stumbling blocks.
