The intention of the generous trio, natives ni liistay. was to limit the lienelli.s of tl,t school to children of Spanhtrds, but Ioik ii'M !his a; found Impracticable. Tii is ancient institution is conducted under the supervision of some of the foremost ladies of Mexico, includiiif; the wile of President Diaz. Recently some of iiinse women received peniiis sirn to renovate the robes of the Im a;;es in the college chapel. To do this they unlocked all the cases, in cluding one of wood and glass In which a figure of the Virgin stood for many years undisturbed. To their umiucmont the apparently humbly chid Image proved to be of wood, beautifully and artistically carv ed, covered by a sheet of silver iUud detl with gold anil precious stones. Competent judges suy the imago represented originally the Virgin of the Angels und was later transformed into tbe Virgin of the Conception, as shown by the mutilation of the group of angel heads on which the feet rest ed. At one time there were ueven heads and three had been severed. A silver crescent, row in two pieces, had been nailed over the head and face, of ono of the angels. The attitude of the body Is extreme ly natural nnd correct, antl the work manship of the silver tunic antl tho veil, hanging In rich folds and grace fully caught at tho waist, Is highly praised by artlsls.

Notwithstanding the enre taken to protect the linu;;i after the discovery of its value, tiome thief was able to steal from the ease seventeen gold chains, one gold and emerald but terfly and several dlun- nds and pearls. An expert from the Monte de Pie dad, national pawnshop, estimated the value of the figure nnd decorations at $20,1100. An offer from a jeweler of $2r,(i(Hi was accepted and the Image sold to him. It is rumored that tho Image will be sent to Paris, The purchase money will be used In providing for an additional number of students who, after receiving an education, desire to remain in the school instead of going Into the world.
