While members of the Madero family have not expressed themselves publicly, it is generally understood they regard El Paso convenient meeting place for "the commissioners. The meeting place, however, probably will be announced simultaneously sioners.

with the names of the Peace negotiations, it de expected, will consume at least a fortnight. Confidence in the successful outcome of these negotiations marks the situation both the insurrecto camp and in Juarez. Even General Navarro, of martial mien ferocious whiskers, is gentle as A lamb nowadays, according to reports from the Mexican city. The Federal commander, it is said, has a smile and a cheery word for everyone, including the once hated reporters. His cane swings jauntily as he makes his inspections and there is a coin for each beggar who besets his path.

On odd moments he opens the prison gates to free some unfortunate, generally harmless individual whose misdirected from the Federal point of view, arouse official ire only a few dave ago. Apparently the only ones disturbed by the present situation in this part of Mexico--so lately the storm center--are the Mormons at Colonia Dublan. According to advices from Casas Grandes, most of the horses of Madero's army were left at that point when the insurrectos advanced on Juarez, and in their search for pasture many Mormon farms have suffered. At least a thousand horses are roaming in the vicinity of Casas Grandes, it is declared. A rumor that the insurrectos intended to disarm the Dublan and Juarez colonists caused a delegation of Mormons to wait upon the insurrecto mayor of Casas Grandes, assured them that If the insurrectos hard pressed, he there was no probability, of such action.

said, they might buy arms and ammunition from the colonists. This, the Mormons replied, would be impossible, as they had none to sell. All public gatherings in the evenings have been discontinued in Colonia Dublan and Colonia Juarez. ADELPHI FUND NOW $125,627 College Resting on Oars in Deference to Y. W.

bition in Rome. A dispatch from Rome, Italy, says that King Victor Emmanuel, on opening the international exhibition of photography at the Castle of St. Angelo yesterday, expressed great admiration for the 120 photographs made by Frank A. Perret. Mr.

Perret is a Brooklyn man, and the the assistant director of the royal observatory of Mount Vesuvius. Mr. Perret's photographs illustrate different phases of the eruptions Vesuvius, Etna. Stromboli, and other volcanic mountains, and of the Messina earthquake. The King congratulated the Brooklyn man warmly and said the photographs were the best he had ever seen.

While Perret was born in Hartford, he was educated in Brooklyn, and attended the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. Then he entered Edison's laboratory, and soon his name was connected with the Perret electric motor and the Perret storage battery. Hard study and scientific work broke down his health. He went to Naples to recuperate. It was there he first became interested in volcanoes.

He has lived near them ever since, studying them and devoting his life to research connected with volcanic I phenomena. He has risked his life many times to take pictures of volcanoes in eruption, and has built up what is practically a new science, of which he is by all odds the leading exponent. During the' last great eruption of Vesuvius he stuck to his post and made observations coolly and calmly, and how he escaped. death has never been understood. Perret has been previously decorated by the King of Italy for his bravery.

GENERAL LIVERY. SCHOOL NO. 95, ADJOINING STABLES OWNED BY THE CITY. On the Left Is Shown a Portion of the Main School Building; in the Center the Portable Annex, and on the Right the Stables. SCHOOL IS A FIRETRAP, SAYS GRAVESEND BOARD P.

S. No. 95 Also Unsanitary and Unfit for Use, Declare Taxpayers. PUPILS' HEALTH IN DANGER. Board of Trade's School Committee Denounces Accommodations in Complaints to Authorities.

That Public School No. 95, at the corner of Road and Van Sicklen street, in the town of Gravesend, is a fireSock. trap and not fit to be used for school purposes is the contention of the Gravesend Board of Trade, the school committee of which has over and over again complained to the Board of Education about the lack of sanitary conveniences. The construction of a new building is being awaited. The fire escape on the main building is a wooden stairway on the outside of the building.

It is enclosed in a strong wire neeting. so that in case of fire on its lower part the children on the top floor would have to go back into the building in order to get to the ground. Another source of danger seen the boy members of the Board of Trade are the stable, shacks and other outhouses that have been allowed to remain on the land owned by the city. They are only a few feet away from the school buildings, all of which are of wood, SO that in case fire should start in the stables, where hay and straw are allowed to lie about the yards, the school might soon! be destroyed. The city has for some time owned the land between the school buildange and Neck Road, and just why it allows that ground to be used stables and chicken houses and other sheds is for, not clear to the members of the board of trade.

An even graver danger to the health of the school children, according to the report of the school committee, are the defective sanitary conditions that prevail about the school premises. There is no sewer in the neighborhood. The land is flat and lies low, being not far from the flat lands through which flows the Coney Island Creek, and there is no natural drainage. Modern sanitary equipment is lacking in the school, in which there are 300 pupils. The so-called portable school house (one story frame buildings set directly on the ground and heated by stoves) have been placed in the school yard in the rear of the main building, one less than thirty feet, and the other about fifty feet away from a vault.

Beside one of the portable "annexes" are stables, where horses are kept, and where hens and chickens scratch all day in the bedding straw refuse. This year there are fifty children on part time, and all the part time children are instructed in one of. the portable houses. The air condition in the main building, however, is also subjected to complaint. The school was built about 1870, as a residence, and is a two-story frame building.

Originally there were two classes on each floor, with no place for the principal's office. Now those classrooms have been divided into two parts, each one being only about 18 feet square. Nevertheless, the classes average about 25 in the upper grades and more in the lower ones. The aisles are very narrow, making it very difficult to pass from one room to another, and since the ceiling is very low, and without vertilators, the atmosphere soon becomes dull and heavy. There are 10 dressing or retiring rooms for either teachers or pupils.

An office for the principal has been constructed over the stairway on the front aide of the building. It is only about 18 feet long and less than 7 feet wide. There is barely room for a desk and a chair. Teachers Have Lunch Table in Cellar Under Furnace Pipes. In the cellar there are two hot air furnaces, the Que pipes of both being uttached to.one chimney.

Around the cellar, against the bare granite walls, the children hang their coats, boys and giris together, and directly under the two furnace pipes the teachers have their lunch table. This is an old-fashioned cellar that had to be deepened to make room tor the furnaces. In the report of the building committee of the Department of Education a short time ago, a recommendation for a tie building, with 26 classrooms and an assembly room, was made. The recommendation was placed thirty-third on the list. An old private house close to the school buildings was used as an annex for several years.

It was sold to the Town off Gravesend by John Y. McKane. It was condemned as unfit and dangerous four years ago. There was no means of heating it, except by stoves, and the cellar was damp. Yet it has not been torn down in order to make room for it portable schoolhouse away from the stables in the rear.

A naw schoolhouse is needed right off, declare the members of the board of tinde. The section is being built up very fast, and more people are moving in. The number of children that need instruction grows every term. It takes at least one year to build a new school after the contracts have been let, and in the meantime the Gravesend people are at a loss what to do with their children. Our idea of the height of affluence is to have money enough to have the rugs sent out to be cleaned and the kitchen floor painted by A 11 expert.

youngest son of Catherine L. atel no late John Mackas, 1u his 85th year. Funeral private. She Discovered Fire While Others Slept, and Saved Thirty Lives. AROUSED COMMUNITY BY BARK Dog Saved by Firemen, and Can Now Have Anything the Enos Have to Give.

Even the famed yellow pup, of which Eugene Field wrote Him all that band did as deliverer hail; They tied a ribbon round his neck, another round his Had no such honors heaped upon him as feil to the lot of John Eno's long-haired dog, Nellie, at Bushwick avenue and Weirfield stret, to-day. The entire neighorhood paid homage to Nellie. They hugged her and patted her and fed her lumps of sugar, Nellie began to think that the 'canine millennium had come, and very nearly beat her tail off in her frantic efforts to show her appreciation. Nellie earned her keep for the rest of her life early to-day by bringing help when the house caught fire, thereby saving the lives of thirteen persons who lived on the upper floors. Nobody except the Enos had thought that Nellie was good for much up to to-day.

She was old, decrepit adn could just hobble around on her four apologies for legs. But Eno and the children stuck to Nellie, and now they have been repaid in full measure. The building at Bushwick avenue and Weirfleld street is owned by Henry Henke, who lives on the third floor. Eno, who has a grocery on the first floor, lives on the second with his wife and family. He locked up his grocery at 8 o'clock last night, leaving Nellie and two cats asleep there.

The house slumbered at 2:45 o'clock this morning, when a thin curl of smoke mounted slowly upward, to be followed by another and another, and then a ribbon of red shot the cloud of white. Still everybody slept. Not so Nellie. She sat up as quickly as ber aged front legs would permit and sniffed inquiringly. Then she knew.

All her life the Enos had made her comfortable and seen to it that she did not lack for bones. Here was a chance to repay them. "Woof! Woof!" barked she. Nobody stirred. "Woof! Woof! Woof!" The sound carried to the ears of Henry Krewer of 142 Weirfleld street, who was passing.

He investigated and discovered the fire. Then he turned in the alarm. Meanwhile Nellie's chorus had routed out the neighbors and they gathered about the house. "John! John!" they cried under Eno's windows. The grocer awoke, sized up the situation at a glance and turned life saver.

He took down the two children-John. 11 years old, a and Dorothy, 12-and then started back for his wife Anna and her mother, Annie Kuech. But the smoke barred his way he was driven into retreat: The two women, left to their own devices, scrambled out on a wooden awning, from which they were taken down on a ladder. Henke his own family out. The Henkes consisted, besides the husband and the wife, of Henrietta, 7 years; Anna, 18; Freda, 16; Molly, 12 and Mamie, 10.

The building was gutted. Nellie and the two cats were left to perish. The firemen forced their not, way into the store and took them out safe and sound. Do the Enos want to part with Nellie? Guess! MICHAEL DE LARGY NOT DEAD. Young Man Assures The Eagle That Report of His Death Was Entirely Premature.

Michael De Largy called at the Eagle office to- day to say, in the winsome phraseology of Mark Twain on a similar occasion, that the reports that he is dead have been exaggerated. On the contrary, he is living at 329 Clinton street and working for the Tower Manufacturing Company, in Manhattan. It was De Largy's own father, a St. Louis man. who started the report that he was dead.

In February he wrote a letter to The Eagle stating that his son, formerly a reporter on the St. Louis Star, had come east to seek work, and had dropped out of sight. One of young De Largy's friends, who had seen the story about the father's letter in The Eagle, met him to-day and informed him of the circumstances. EX- GOV. BRADY ON SUFFRAGE.

Will Make Special Trip From Idaho to Address Legislators at Albany. Ex-Governor James H. Brady of Idaho, who is an enthusiast for the suffrage cause, is coming East for the express purpose of furthering the woman suffrage movement here: On Tuesday, May 2. he will speak to the Men's League for Woman Suffrage, at Cooper Union, and on the following evening, May 3, he will address the members of the Legislature in the Assembly chamber at Albany. Attorney General Thomas Carmody will introduce the speaker and Mrs.

W. W. Penfield, vice chairman of- the Woman Suffrage party of Greater New York, will preside, owing to the absence of Mrs. Catt. From Albany, ex-Governor Brady will proceed to Harrisburg, to address the Legislature of that state.

Residents of Bay Nineteenth Complain--Pounds Promises Relief. Residents along Bay Nineteenth street, between Bath and Benson avenues, Bath Beach, are indignant at the condition of the street. complaint was made to The Eagle to-day in which it was declared that on 8. warm day the odors arising from this unpaved street are almost unbearable, and it is feared may lead to serious illness. At the Department of Public Works, the complaint was called to the attention of Commissioner Pounds, he said that the contract to asphalt' this street was let in the early part of the winter and that the weather thereafter prevented any new paving being done until this spring.

Now that the contractors are taking up their work, they are rushing things, just as rapidly 88 possible, and as one job is completed they get right at the next one. These contracts are taken up in regular order, and. as the Commissioner said, this street will be reached at the earliest possible moment; just when, Mr. Pounds could not state without consultling the particular contractor who was awarded the Bay Nineteenth street contract.
