Everyone on the Democratic ticket, f .om mayor to school trustee, was elect ed in Norfolk yesterday; the Democrats made a clean sweep in Roanoke, Va An effort will be made in the House of Representatives to pass the River and Harbor bill over the President's veto. -The Treasury gold reserve, at the close of business yesterday, stood at $107,403,434.

In talking on the proposed beer tax the other day Senator Sherman remarked that. beer was "a useful and comfortable drink." Taken in sufficient quantities it is also quite exhilarating. An inference might be from his opposition to the tax that Senator Sherman is not in favor of taxing "useful and comfortable" things. Woollen garments are use ful and comfortable but Senator Sherman wouldn't object to putting some more tax on them. Sherman is a slippery old stager. It Is charged that McKinley has given Western stiver men written as surance that he will not veto a free coinage bill if one should pass Con gress. We don't believe this. We do not think he would venture to go into black and white on that. He may have given the assurance, by proxy, in a quiet kind of a way. Mr. Mc. is playing the quiet role now, and under the manipulation of the distinguished Mr. Hanna, he is doing it quite successfully. Ford, the negr j who murdered Elsie Kreglo, in the suburbs of Washington, has been sentenced to be hanged June.26. The editor of the Bee, a colored paper, suggests that it be turned into a festive occa sion, that Fred be soaked in kero sene, put in a forty acre lot and be converted into a bonfire. We do not suppose that he is in downright earnest about this, but takes this method of announcing that he doesn't think Ford entitled to any sympathy. . Notwithstanding the silyer agita tion which we are told is go'uag to knock the bottom out of Southern credit, $242,000 of Georgia bonds were the other day bid for many times over, the bidding running as high as 105.54 for 4 per cents and 97.75 for Z per cents.

A large number of friends and rela tives of the children of the public schools assembled at the Opsra House last night to witness the closing exer cises of Hemenway and Union schools, which were undoubtedly the best ever held in the city: Applause throughout was continuous and the clever acting of the large number of scholars was re markable. First and second puts of the pro gramme were the "color" and "pole"' drills, respectively, in which the follow ing pupils took part. Color drill Misses Susie Belle La Motte, Emma West, Lena Solomon, Marie Pcschau, Annie Binford, Jennie Hardin, Rosa McPaerson, Katie Harriss and Annie K. Harper.

Misses Miller, Borden, Scott, Shepard, West, Calder and Latham deserve spec ial mention for solo singing. - Master Walter Mclntire made the bit of the evening and was loudly encored in every act in which he appeared. The singing by a quintette of female voices, Misses Latham, Foster, Scott, Galloway and Calder, was well rendered, their sweet voices blending with much harmony. The music, by the High School Man dolin Club, was exceptionally fine, re ceiving hearty applause. The perform ers were: Mandolics, Misses Henrietta Shepard and Emma West, Lester Branch, and Tom Bagley; guitars, Misses Bessie D. Bum, Nellie Calder and Ed. Nelson; violin, Miss Norma Foster. Little Fannie Mitchell with her prayer song, "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep," delighted the audience. - Miss Nellie Calder with her remark able tenor voice and Miss Sallie McRee in an Trish impersonation, were consid ered great, and received encores.

Hancock. "Chinaman;" Dave Holt, "chef and Frenchman;" and Sieg. Goodman, ' German. ' Mrs. M. L.

Charlotte News: Charlotte can get the encampment of the Fourth Regi ment, State Guard, this Summer almost for the asking. It will cost $1,700 to transport the troops to Wrightsville, and the trouble is that Col. Armfield doesn't happen to have that much about him. The encampment must of necessity be held at either Asheville, Charlotte, con cord, Shelby or some other town inside the home circle. Naturally, from a point of economy, the chances favor Charlotte, as five of the companies are within forty miles of this city and it would be cheaper to bring the Asheville and Waynesville companies here than it would be to send the six companies to Asheville. The encampment this year is ordered bv the State and is no voluntary con cern. The strictest military discipline will prevail and in that respect it will be different from previous encampments.

The trains are filled with boys and girls returning from the various com mencement exercises. The crowd at Wake Forest yesterday is said to have been the largest that has attended the commencement exercises there in pre vious years. The State Fair has thoroughly re vised the premium list which will be of fered this year. It goes to the printers Monday.

Third Day of Commencement Literary Ad drei Alumni Bacquet Baooalaurcate Sermon Trustee Meeting!. Special Star Correspondence Wake Forest. N. C, May 28. Yesterday,- the third day of Com mencement, was crowded wfth events. The trustees met early in the morning and remained in session off and on near ly all day. The following were elected to fill vacancies in the Board of Trus tees: D. L. Gore, Wilmington, N. C; J. E. White, Raleigh. N. C; R. T. Vann, Scotland Neck, N. C; J. F. Spainhour, Watauga Co., N. C; W. T. Crawford, Waynesville, N. C; H. B. Duffy. New bern, N. C; L. Johnsen, Greensboro, N. C. It was decided to establish a depart ment of the Bible, under charge of W. R. Cullom, instructor in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The address before the literary societies by Dr. B. H. Carroll, cf Waco, Texas, was a great effort, running over with gentle kindly humor and full of a noble eloquence that enlisted from the beginning a most responsive and en thusiastic hearing. 'The Ambitious Dream of Youth" was his theme, and he told his young hearers of the two societies to have their day-dreams of future usefulness and power, to cherish 'them, and to leave no stone" un turned in realizing them. There are some addresses which fasten them selves upon the mind and memory by their logical arrangement and by their nicely adjusted relation of parts. There are others which, though doubt less equally logical, leave an impression of largeness and grandeur rather than of faithfulness to detail which appeal to the heart and the imagination more espe cially than to the head, and which awaken the emotions rather than the reasoning faculties. Of this latter kind was Dr. Carroll's eloquent and inspiring address of yesterday morning.' But the bodily nature has to be re freshed as well as the spiritual. Ac cordingly, at one o'clock the alumni, trustees and other friends of the college assembled in the reading-room to par take of the alumni batquet. The pro gramme was as follows : Rev. W. B. Morton, toast-master; "Fifty Years of Progress." Dr. J. D. Hufham; "The New History," E. W. Sikes; ' The Mission of the Smaller Christian College." Rev. E. M. Poteat; "More Room and Better Equipment," Prof. N. Y. Gulley and Rev. M. L. Kesler. At night the Baccalaureate sermon was preached by Dr. B. L. Whitman, president of Columbia University. Washington, D.
