It is said that there are already on file in Washington a score or so of applications for the place of the American consul at St. Pierre, who was buried under the eruption from Mount Pelee.

BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART. Pretty Piece of Grecian Statosry Pre sented Jo Their" Alms MaterPre sentatloo of DIpIomss, Etc. Auspicious Event. i The Assembly Hall of theTileston building, Sixth near Ann street, was filled to overflowing, last evening with a large and fashionable gathering of people to witness ; the commencement exercises of the . Wilmington High 8chooL The hall was neatly decorat ed for the event and the stage from which the graduating exercises took place was tastefully decorated with palms and other plants. The exercises opened with very fervent devotional exercises by the Rev. Jno. H. Hall, pastor of Fifth Street M. E. church, and following the singing of Luther's Hymn by the Senior Class, the' graduating theses were read as follows : "The Navy as an Avenue for Ser vice to our Country," Walter Hoge Mclntire.

Owing to the size of the class time would notlpermit a reading of all the essays, but those that were delivered were of an unusually high order of excellence and suggestive of very deep thought It would be unjust to individualize, for none of them could have been better. Upon the conclusion of the theses, Miss Fiorina G.i Worth, the accom plished principal of the school, deliv ered the diplomas in an exceedingly graceful and entertaining manner. The class song was next rendered in enthusiastic spirit with piano accom paniment by Miss HalL This was followed by one of the prettiest incidents of the entire com mencement the presentation to the school by the graduating class of a handsome statue of Phosbe, a Grecian goddess of mythology. Thei stat ue is an exceedingly handsome one, life size, and was presented through Miss Emma Hyatt. Morton. The response in behalf of the-school was by Capt W. R. Kenan, a member of School Committee No. 2, who spoke in his characteristic happy and appre ciative style. jThe piece of statuary will be placed In the hall of the Tiles ton Building, ! which friends of the school are striving to fill with all that is beautiful in the arts. Just before j conclusion of the pro gramme Superintendent John J. Blair, than whom there Is no more popular educator In the State, took occasion to make a few remarks regarding the pro gress of all the schools during the past year and what was expected to be done in the future, i He emphasized the need of the cultivation of art and manual training in the school and closed with a pretty reference to the graduating class, .which is the largest in the history of the schools, strongest In individuality nd enterprising to a degree not before reached. -Mr. Blair also made a pleasing refer ence to the presence upon the oc casion of Miss Amy Bradley, whom the speaker characterized as the "mother of our schools in Wilming ton." He also referred in graceful terms to the presence on the stage of Wilmington's venerable ' eitizen and friend of education, Mr. B. G. Worth, and the former , superintendent Prof. M O. S. Noble. There were also on the stage Mr. Samuel Northrop (chair man), Mr. a W. Worth and Capt W. R. Kenan, who constitute the zealous School Committee No. 3, under whose direction the High School is maintain ed. The members of the High School faculty and Miss Nellie Cook, super vising principal of all the Graded Schools, were also present The exercises closed with a bene diction by Bey. Mr. HalL -- ; The following' young gentlemen served very efficiently as marshals of the occasion: ! Messrs.

Programme of Appropriate sad Entertain iflf Features Yeaterdsy Morslnj Yesr Closed Hlfbly Successful. Hemen way Public School closed yesterday morning with a delightful programme of exercises, which was creditably carried out In the presence of nearly a thousand persons, Includ ing teachers, pupils and patrons. The hall in which : the exercises were ob served was attractively decorated with evergreens and in all the class rooms there were splendid exhibits of draw ings, etc by the pupils. Music was f urnished by the Italian harpers. The session just closed has been one of the most successful in its history' both in point of attendance and' work accomplished. The enrollment during the year was 770 and the average daily attendance 583. Twenty-six go to the High School next term and of the class of 23 graduates who received diplomas last night at the High School, 13 were from Hemenway. The school has a library worth $L000 and 8,000 books were read by students last session. Mrs. M. L. McLeod has worked per sistently . for over a score of years in behalf of the institution and it has now well nigh reached perfec tion.

It does not seem to be generally un derstood that Manager.Bear owns the franchise of the Wilmington team. When he entered the arena of the nix ring baseball circus in North Carolina he did so on his own responsibility. It is an individual enterprise pure and simple. The admirers of baseball! in this city subscribed about $700 as a bonus and he then went to work and organized his team. He deserves much credit for the pluck he has shown j In the face of frequent and overwhelm- ng defeats, and the people of Wil mington have nhown their apprecia tion of the brave fight he has been making against fearful odds. Under the circumstances, the attendance at the games has been remarkably good. But there is a limit to all things earth ly; and Manager Bear will have either td build up a new team on the ruins of the old one, or the grand stand and bleachers will hereafter represent a beggarly account of empty" benches. Manager Bear must now fully real ize that if he remains In the fight with his team as now constituted he must reach deep down into his pockets. for the cash necessary to pay his expenses. The Stab has done all in its power to encourage the team and to foster the hope that it would be so strengthened ' that it would soon be come the pride of the people of Wil mington. It is now for Manager Bear to decide whether he will continue to lead a for lorn hope nay, worse, a hopeless struggle, or take immediate and de termined steps to sign a sufficient num. ber of new and strong players to make his team the equal of any in the league. If he will do the latter, he will be Sustained generously and sub stantially by the lovers of baseball in Wilmington. The old spirit will be revived. "Fair women", will fill the grand stand and ."brave men" the bleachers at Hilton Park, and the Wil mington team will come forth "re deemed, regenerated and disenthrall ed." : Carpenters and Joiners. Mr. Eugene 8. OdelL general or ganlzer of the carpenters and joiners of America, - president of the-Execu tive Council and secretary of Bronx Borough, District of Columbia, will -visit Wilmington to-day and to-night he will visit the local union and de liver an address. -The union carpen ters of Wilmington and carpenters not members of the union are invited.

The locals rallied when the lead of eight had been chalked up against them, but it was too late then and al though five runs were put in cold stor age it was not enough to turn victory. Dunn pitched a good game and Fisher did his usual good work behind the bat but that alone couldn't bring vic tory. Mathlson and Dommel hit well and the former accepted all chances in right without an error. The game re quired more than two hours in the playing and those were long hours. too, for the contest was not one to en thuse.

McOann, for Wilmington, and Stockadale, for Durham, will shoot the spheres to-day. It is -amazing that Wilmington should have done all her good play ing after the score stood 8 to 0 in favor of Durham. The horse editor has retired "to rural shades, to twilight . cells and bowers, - where thoughtful Melan choly loves to muse." A daring and nearly successful slide to third by Fisher resulted in quite a painful injury to his nose. He was soon at work again, however. Abominable errors lost the game to Durham in the first three innings, when they piled up eight runs. Then Wilmington made a great rally and Durham was gooseegged throughout the remainder of the game, Mathlson has developed into one of the very best batters on the team. He made two hits yesterday and play ed second base without an error. In one of the games at Charlotte he made four hits out of five times at the bat Boys' Brlf ade Excursion. About 450 persons enjoyed the ex cursion to Carolina Beach yesterday and last night by the Boys' Brigade.
