i Obituary. Died at her home in Chapel Hill, on Sunday, May 10, 'Mrs. Emma ; Graves Alderman, wife of Prof. Edwin 'A. Alderman, of theUniver sity. It is only a few times in its his tory that the Tar Heel has had to chronicle a death that rendered both students and faculty heart- ' stricken and sad. Mrs. Alderman's family has for three generations been connected with- the University, her father, brother, and husband being among the most brilliant professors who ever filled an - educational chair here. She herself, was a remark ably bright and cultured 3 oung wo . man, possessing all the accomplish ments and qualities of true woman hood. She was kind and affection ate at home, loved and adored by all whc knew her, and her death has rendered a once happy hearthstone sad and comfortless. She had been seriously ill during the last twelve months and for some time had lin gered between life and death; but while a beautiful Sabbath morn was da,wning and all nature was clothing itself in solemn, silent splen dor, the Angel of Death touched her eyelids in perpetual sleep and her snow-white soul, passed on to the "balm-breathing gardens of God," where it now holds blissful com munion with three lovely little boys, who had been the object of her yearning affection. From the grief caused by thedeath her of three little darlings, all of whom died sudden ly, she never , fully recovered and it is now a great consolation to her friends, even in their sorrow, to know that she has gone "To that fair land upon whose strand . No wind of winter mourns," and that she is in everlasting peace with those whom she loved above all things else. - She leaves to mourn her death a kind, tender, affectionate husband, one who in his unceasing patience stood beside her bed and ministered, to all her wants. i He who yesterday adored a loving wife, to-day weeps over a silent grave; but in his hour of bereave ment there sobs in unison with him the sympathetic heart of student body , faculty , and ever loving friends. N. and I. The Commencement of the Nor mal and Industrial College will take place on May 19th and 20th. On Tuesday morning, May 19th, the serman will be preached by Rev. . E. A. Yates, D.D., of Durham, N. C, aud on that morning also the portrait of Zebulon B. Vance, paint ed by W. R. Randall, a son of the University, will be unveiled, as a tr.bute to his efforts, when Gover nor, to advance the cause of educa tion for women in North Carolina. Hon. R. H. Battle; of Raleigh, will deliver an .address on his personal recollections of Gov. Vance as a public man and as an ardent friend of education in our State. This tribute to Vance by the State Nor mal School is peculiarly appropriate in that he was the first Governor of the State to recommend an appro priation for higher female education. On that night, the audience will . enjoy the words of wisdom and elo quence which will fall from the lips of the sweet jnrl graduates. On WednesdayMay 20th, Hon. Charles W. Dabney, Assistant Sec retary of Agriculture, of Washing ton, I). C, will deliver an address upon "Industrial Education." On Wednesday night the exercis es will close by the entertainment of the two literary societies. Mrs. Hume's Picnic. Our paper came out too early last week to allow a notice of what was an eventful day for the Infant Class of the Baptist Sunday School. ; The occasion was the picnic given them at the Mason farm by their deserv edly popular teacher, Mrs. Dr. Hume. It is an annual event to which 50 little boys and girls look forward with the keenest delight. .f In addition to the forty members cit the class present, quste a num ber of young ladies' and University boys were in attendance. Altogeth er it made- a merry group. Mrs. Hume treated her guests to an ex cellent dinner in an ideal grove for picnicing occasions. The day was passed in all kinds lof impromptu games and diversions in the wood and tor once at least it was alive with happy children, and older people too for that matter. Loaded down with wild flowers, the picnickers reluctantly f broke away from tneir pleasures and - re turn. d to the villiage at sunset, at the end of a gay day. The lusty cheering of the children for their beloved teacher met with a unanimous response, ivet otners follow in making life brighter for children. The Willie P. Mangum Collection of Chinese and Japanese Ware. The Tar Heel, has never taken notice in its columns of the valuable collection of Chinese and Japanese ware, presented as a memorial to the University by Mrs. Willie P. Mangum. This collection is now placed in the center of the library, enclosed in large, glass cases and cannot fail to interest any inquiring mind. A full description of the China ware, wood engraving and curios of different kinds would re quire columns, so we will men ton only a few of the most interesting pecinunV. "The Saki Cups of the Genii" are a pair or line porcelain bottles. a Sfift of the Prince of Herzin to Mrs. Willie P. Mangum, Jr., in 1869. , - Another interesting specimen is a bricic . trom tne I'orceiam lower of Waukin, destroyed by the Yar- ping rebels 111 1863. Mrs. Mangum procured this from the site of the ruins of the tower 1867. Some others are copper vessels for heating water taken at the storming of the fort of Mr. Crea, Chemnlpo, Corea, an incense burn er, rhinoceros' horn, Dutch pistol, besides many interesting wood car vings and specimens of China ware. These are interesting and should be examined and admired by every student. The collection is a valua ble one and of historic interest and is now well arranged and protected in the library.

To Miss W- There's a little girl in Danville, Who wears the white and blue And to Carolina's "Varsity Is ever staunch and true. When the "Old Dominion" 'Varsity Went down before our boys, One fellow from Virginia's soil Thought they would bring his joys. She met him on a thoroughfare, And an angry word suppressed When she saw the peculiar fashion In which he then was dressed. Virginia's colors were on his hat, Our colors on his feet. "You'll be walking on your head," said she, "When next again we meet." - V And when her best beau said to her "Come, go to the game with me, And see the victory of the team From Washington and Lee," She sweetly smiled as she replied: . "Writh pleasure I'll go to the game To see my champion Tar Heels Take Virginians down again. "And you, too, know my feelings To Carolina I am true, Vs And on my parasol I'll tie, ' , The white and baby blue." Thus to the game she went that day, And saw the record broken, And each Carolina boy there Wished he could thus have spoken: "Sweet loyal girl, you've won our hearts To you we'll be ever true. The sweetest picture we ever saw Was you in the White and Blue." , ; .. . . . g. gM9 : A INCOOD J Eight thousand women in this country have graduated from colleges aud universities, co-educational or otherwise. 5" " The $50000 prize lathe, offered at the World's Fair to the technical school which should be voted the most popular, was awarded to Cor nell, which succeeded in getting one-eighteenth of all the votes cast!
