President Praises Work. In his letter the president said that "the work on the Isthmus is being admirably and carefully done" and that "all our citizens have a right to congratulate themselves upon the high standard of efficiency and integrity which has been hitherto maintained."

Maxcy Hiller Released Last evening's meeting of the new board of directors of the T. M C. A. was of unusual Importance. It was the first meeting for the new year, and reports were presented showing the condition of the association's affairs at the close of the old ye«r. Financially and otherwise, the situation was regarded as very encouraging. The report of the treasurer showed that over *2,000 more money was received during the past year than during the previous year. The expectation of the officers concerning the income from the dormitories on the third floor were fully and it la expected that the Income from that source will be nearly doubled when the dormitories on the fourth floor are ready for occupancy. The maintenance of the work, in the new building, however, requires additional expense. and the association must continue to rely to a large extent on the generosity of its friends and their appreciation of the Importance of the work that is being carried on for the upbuilding of character In young men. Plans have been laid for art enlargement of the work during the oorming year, especially In the boys' department and In the night schools. It is hoped that the way will be clear for the employment of an assistant secretary, who will be able to devote a portion of his time to the office work and the remainder to the work for boys, which is regarded as of growing Importance.Simultaneously with the coroner's announcement lie released A.

When the neighbors rushed half clad from their houses the buildings close to them had disappeared, Only a gap in the cliff side told the story.
