DR. HATCHER’S ADDRESS.
The annual address of Dr. W. K.
Hatcher, of Riohmord, Va., yesterday
morning was a magnificent and touching
plea for the living of lives that wouid
:• iv■ -omething to the world. It carried
d< p conviction with it of the genuine sin
cevity of the speaker, and of his large
evt . tienee of the very struggles and
trii mphs he spoke of. It was the
speech of an old man to whom every
.ing year of life had added a bounteous
ore of the world’s greatest an] rarest
product, wisdom that is gathered by fhp
knowledge of truth. Several times was
Hr. Hatcher interrupted by spontaneous
bursts of applause from his appreciative
audience-
After the reading of scripture and
prayer by Rev. C. H. Justice, of Ruther
fordton. lovely music was rendered by a
pi; no quartette, composed of Misses,
j,. sic Brewer. Lalla Ellington, Emmie
Rogers, uid Virginia Grayson.
t»r. Vann then introduced Dr. Hatcher
one who had giver, the first years of
M-? life to the ministry, and was now
mvii.g his best years to the consecrated
work of teaching.
I>r Hatcher, in a very .Thd
approytrinte introduction said he thought
of Virginia as bis mother and of North!
Carolit/a is his mother-in-law. Referring j
The News and Observer.
to the University, he said; “I think the
people everywhere regard this school as
th<‘ largest conception of Baptist thought,
ami I feel it an unspeakable privilege
and honor that I can speak to the con
stituents of this institution at this au
spicious hour.”
Dr. Hatcher then said he would begin by
dividing the race to which \vc belong in
to three edasses. First, the pensioners,
these that live on bounty, those who :re
incapable of self-support, who produce
nothing and have nothing to give away,
such as children, the aged, the feeble,
wounded, cripples. The second Hass are
the* self-suppo”ting ones, those that .are
capable of taking care of themselves,
and are only capable of taking care of
themselves. They set up for themselves
and for nobody else. "I will
place them,” said he, “a little
above the first. Any man or any woman
who would enter into any relation with
the primal idea of dependence is un
worthy of support. The third, or top
class is composed of those who have a
surplus, who are capable of self-support
and have something besides to give their
neighbors.”
Continuing, Dr. Hatcher said in part:
“I address a class of people who in
the nature of things have so far belonged
to the first class. It is one test of your
character that you appreciate what lias,
come to.you in vour dependent state.
' But you will go higher than that. You
j must, come to the time when you will
j realize the honor and glory of solf-re
(liance. We belong to a section of coun
try which gloried in the dependence of (
its women, but we are coming to the time
when the most glorious type of wornau
hood will he distinguished hv the grand
march of self-reliance.
‘‘But this point of self-reliance is not
one to stop at always. We must gc on j
to the highest class, and I have some- j
tiling to say of the donors, the contribu- j
tors. It is of the women who have some
; thing to spare that I have to speak of
this morning
“lf you are a pensioner, the world
will be poorer for your living. If you
are Simply a self-suppcrtcr you will use
up ail that you make. I want to see all
of you dissatisfied with that kind of
life. So it is of the contributors I want
to speak.
‘ Many people think of money in this
sense. 1 am sorry our American people
think so much of money. One of the
most interesting things to me in this the
beginning of our second century, is the
dominance, the power, the tyranny of
oui money-makers. And not less puz- 1
zling and bewildering to me is the coney- j
giver. There is something in the mam
moth gifts of the great money-givers of
the present day that filis me with hu
miliation. for it makes it look as if great \
universities were not to be made by the 1
common people.
‘‘l believe this is going to be a great
university, and that it is going to be
built up by the kind of men who have
made XoUh Carolina what she is. poor ,
men- There is an indefinable charm i
about a university that can be given on- !
ly by the aggregation of the little and
not by the great donations of the rich. !
They may put up splendid buildings. !
but they cannot make that atmosphere >
that is thrown around a university by ’
the small gifts of loving hands ”
Speaking of great men and remarkable
geniuses, he said:
“We rcalv do have very little place
for great people, but we do have need '
and place for thousands and thousands '
# |
of really good and true people. Because
we cannot give millions or give the world 1
great master-pieces Avith the chisel or
brush, ; t does not follow that God has
given us no Avork to do. We are to fit
in U) the wants and needs of humanity, j
and have resources to meet them.
“Your gift is going to be according to
what you are. There is the trouble with
some of the money-givers. They are
nothing but money-makers, and they can j
only AArite checks. But they can give
nothing that is of God.
“To me the most hyperbolical and yet
the profoundest thing Jesus Christ ever
said Avas Avhat he said about the widow’s I
gift in the temple, that she gave more
than all o f the others put. together. Tie
said that Avoman put her life, all she had
ime (hat gift. That is the illustration of j
that saying: ‘Whosoever saveth his life '
shall lose it’
“Friend?, if you are to be contributor.:,/
if you add anything to the Avorld, you ‘
have get to add it by Avhat you give, but j
the value of what you gi\’c i<? to be
measured by whether you put your life
into it or not. This is where the wo
man’s chance lies; she ran put her life |
inte her work in the home, she can put
her life into the suffering she is often
called upon to endure.
“ I ask you to gi\’e something to this
world, to be worth something in the
world. I Avant you to he ready to give
something, and put yourself in it when
you giA*e it, and make as much of your- j
sell, as you can before it goes in. ft is
only fvhen avc put our life into what we
give ur.to others that we come in*o pos
session of everything that other people
have.” 1 |
Dr. Yar n sa>d he thought avc should
have no difficulty in olassif\-ing the
speaker as belong to the third clasSt lie
had mentioned. \ t
The benediction was pronounced fry
Rev. W. D. Hubbard, of the Tabernacle

Charlotte, X. C., May 20.—1 n the pres
ence of five thousand people who croAvdt ,1
the stivers and yards adjacent to the
postoffice building thi morning the monu
ment < meted to the memory of Lieuten
ant William Ewen Shipp was unveiled l>v
the dead hero's two little sons, William
E. and Fabius Shipp.
As the tender little hands drew the
cord that parted the veil, cheers from
thousands of throats filled the air. It was
a sublime scene, one that will be cher
ished in memory by all who were so for
tunate to witness it. It was a scene
that brought tears to the eyes of those
Avho knew and loved the dead soldier, a
scene that brought tears of joy because
of the splendid tribute to his memory
that was erected by loving hearts and
hands by his comrades and friends in the
Carolinas.
Early this morning the streets of Char
lotte were alive with 20th of May visi
tors. As the hours passed, the crowds
grew rapidly aud by ten o’clock the main
thoroughfares of the city were crowded.
Promptly at 0:30 tin* military, under
command of Major T. R. Rob, i on, form
ed in front of the city hall. The other
sections that formed the line of march
Averc not so prompt in forming, therefore
it was fully 10:30 o’clock before the march
to the monument was begun. The pro
cession was headed by the Mount Holly
hand. Then came the Charlotte com
panies, the Hornets and the artillery,
and then the Fayetteville Light Infantry,
the Asheville company, the Overman
Guards of Salisbury, and the King’s
Mountain Rifles.
Following the military came the C. M.
I. cadets, comrades of the late Lieuten
ant Shipp. These were followed by dis
tinguished guests in carriages. The pro
cession marched to Independence Square
and from there to the postoffice grounds
where the monument stands.
The exercises at the monument con
sisted of a fervent prayer by Rev. E. A.
Osborne, chaplain of the First North
Carolina Regiment in the Spanish-Ameri
can War. This was followed by a beau
tiful address by Mr. Earle Sloan, of
Charleston, S. C., introducing the orator
of the day, Col. J. P. Thomas, aa ho Avas
at the head of the Carolina Military In
stitute during the time Lieutenant Shipp
was a student at this institute. Mr.
Earle said in part:
“It is a profoundly appreciated privilege
to share in the impulses Avhich have
drawn together on this occasion so many
Carolinians and others, eager to perpet
uate the memory and encourage the con
tinuance of the heroic deeds, the noble
sacrifices and patriotic impulse which
have so conspicuously distinguished this
country, from the time prior to the Meck
lenburg Declaration of Independence, to
the day of the heroic charge on San Juan
hill Avhen the death of the gallant Lieu
tenant Shipp Avrought our couutrv’s sor
row, but proclaimed his nation’s glory.
“In the Spanish-American War, true
to her traditions the State which suf
fered the greatest sacrifice of noble life
in upholding the flag of our country was
the grand old State of North Carolina."
Rol. Thomas then delivered a beautiful
eulogy on the life and character of the
dead. In concluding his oration Col.
Thomas said:
“On this spot are gathered North Car
olina's robust manhood and grateful
womanhood including honored represen
tatives of the patriots who responded to
the call to arms, some in 1861 and others
in 1808. Here are the cities public
spirited organizations. Here are the mil
itary corps that haA’e paraded to partici
pate in honoring a felloAV soldier. Here,
too, are the comrades of Lieutenant
Shipp, former cadets of the Carolina Mil
itary Institute, who, revieAving today his
laurelled life, take pride in his illustra
tion of their alma mater, and South
Carolina has her contingent on hand and
in heart to bring anew the Carolinas to
gether, and to link the sword to Jenkins
with the monument to Shipp.”
“Under these auspicious circumstances
amid these environments, North Carolina,
true to her spirit of sincere apprecia
tion, pays her tribute to a noble son in
the shaft dedicated to his fame, thus
t 'lorifying Christian soldiership anti shoAV
iUg how the Roman sentiment that it is
sweet and honorable to die for country
may 'he joined, in ennobling union, with
the kindred thoughts of heaven and
home.”
Fully fifteen thousand visitors Avere
present took part in making this one
of the moist memorable 20tli of Mays in
the history of the city.

Havana, May 20.—The natal day of
the Republic of Cuba found Havana .ir
rayed like a queen, to await the coming
of her lord. She seemed vested for 1 1
occasion with the dignity of prosperous
days of her power and wealth. The dec
orations were universal. In some cases
men had worked all night, by the light
of torches, to complete elaborate de
signs. There was not. a residence, pre -
tentious or humble, that did not )>< ar
upon its quaint face some emblem in
honor of the event. The many arches
<reeled tit the entrance of plazas by po
litical societies, fraternal clubs, resi
dences of various civil divisions of the
city and business. organizations had an
ail of real grandeur. The scaffolding
Avas covered with canvass in imitation c?
marble and from a distant * e illusion
war complete. Bunting spread on vene
t!an masts canopied the deep, narrow
streets from the rays of the sun. Nature
st** mod in harmony Avith the spirit of
the festivities. The parks were literally
aflame with tropical flowers, and the
vaulted sky above might have been
chiselled out of turquoise. Above every
red tiled roof, rose a Cuban flag. The
whole city seemed suddenly buried be
neath a forest of waving hanneis.
Th<* decorations along the Avater front
Avere exceedingly lavish, and all the ship
ping in the harbor was dressed in gala
attire. The majority of the ships flew
the American ensign at the main and the
Cuban colors at the fore or ntizzen. The
l nited States armored cruiser Brooklyn,
which aa’us to take General Wood away
and the steamer Mono Castle, of the
Ward Line, on which the troops, were to
cm la ik. as well as the foreign war
ships Avh ch had been sent by their gov
ernments to he present at the birth of
the new Republic, were dressed aa it li
streams of signal flags, fore and aft,
man-of-war fashion. The American col
<>r>, which AA’ert* to he hauled down in a
ft**,a Lours, still floated above the grim
Avails of the fortresses, which guard the
entrance of the harbor. Not another
bit of color showed upon them.
Tiie early morning was cool and de
lightful, and the entire population, re
inforced by thousands of visitors, was
abroad soon after daylight. All was
animation and expectancy. The streets
werr swarming with people and were
filled with a ceaseless din.
Much curiosity was aroused by a statue
of hreeefem. which had been raised dur
ing ihc night in Central Park upon the
pedestal, where, for centuries, a statue
of Queen Isabella hud stood. During
the morning a bountiful breakfast was
given to several thousand poor children
by Mr. Payne, of Boston, who has passed
the \a intci in Havana for many years.
The actual transfer of the control of
the island occurred exactly at noon,
Havana time, which is 12:3) p. m. Wash
ington t ine. Those invited to the eeio
mony included, besides lli * American
officers? and the members of ITesident
ele- t Palma’s cabinet, the members of
Congress, the Supreme cou r t judges, the
goveriiois of the provinces, the officers
ot fee visiting war/hip*?, the foreign
consuls, W. J. Bryan and a few other
specially invited guests.
Owing to the limited space, t e people
'.Aeie to have no sight of the ceremony,
Avhich was to constitute them a nation
before the world, but outsMe the palace
they were to witness a spectacle which
would stir their pulses, for ticy were
to see the beloved five barred and single
starred hag which Cespedes first threwy
io the Li ot ze in 1868 at the opening of
the .en years war, raised by the act of
•lie I u*ted States above the palace.
Many inivcd before the palace with the
rising stni, aud some even slept in the
park, to be certain not to miss th's
sight.
A portion of the plaza was kept clear
by tne police very early. The remainder
Avas packed with people, so thick that
the ground seemed alive. Soon all the
sitb* streets running into the plaza were
choked into a sol : d mass of* humanity,
and every door and window fronting the
square ay as Availed in with faces, white
ami black, old and young, male and fe
male. Then croAvds sought the roofs,
overflowing every building that com
manded a view of the flagstaff on the
1 aluce. It was a sight to live forever
in -memorv.
Drawn up below, in the open space of
the plaza, Avere eight dismounted troops
of the Seventh Cavalry, with s;(%res at
their heels. Their horses were , already
on the hoard the steamer which Avas to
take them back to the United States.
Shortly before 1.1:30 a. m. those who
were to witness the coremony began to
arrive, in carriages, through a street
kept clear by the police. All the naval
officers were arrayed in full uniform, re
splendent tn gold braid and plumed
chapeaux. The Cubans, generally, wore
black frock suits, Avhite waistcoats and
silk hats. They formed a distinguished
looking assemblage as they gathered in
the audience chamber.
Til*! ceremony itself was brief and siin-
I le. After formal greetings, General
Wood read the documentary transfer pre
pared by the War Department, pledging
the new government to immediate pro
claim tin* constitution and the Platt
amendment contained in the appendix,
and to undertake all obligations assumed
by the United States, with respect to
Cuba, by the treaty of Paris. Governor
Wood also delivered the following let
ter :
‘‘White House, Washington, D. C., May
10, 1902.
• To the President and Congress of the
Rciiublic of Cuba.
“Sirs:—On the ?otTi of this month the

How Shook Was Shooken.
(Washington Post.)
There used to be a picturesque * North
Carolina mountaineer named Wiley
Shook in the Capitol. He Avas a door
keeper, or something of the kind, and
his quaint sayings and his blue shirt
made him quite famous. One day he
Avrote a long letter to a newspaper, in
which he scored President McKinley
rather severely on the civil service ques
tion. The letter was so clever that it
attracted wide attention. ’
“Who is Wiley Shook?” asked the
President, speaking to Senator Pritchard.
“He's a constituent of mine who works
at the Capitol.” said the Senator.
“Well,” said the President, “if any
friend of mine attacked you, I wouldn’t
keep him near me.”
Senator Pritchard needed no further
hint and Shook was literally shaken.
He went back to North Carolina, where
he became a deputy collector. He is
iioav in trouble again, for he has written
a letter personally attacking Senator
Simmons, and the latter has demanded
:liis scalp.
Mr. Shook seems to he entirely too en
ergetic with his pen.

Greensboro, N. C., May 20.—The Red
Birds chirped such a lively air today
that Greensboro fell in the soup. Roy
made a home run in the second inning,
which put the visitors in fine humor for
business. Raleigh made errors, however,
and Greensboro owed its escape from
goose egging to their making runs on
that account. Greensboro’s pitcher was
hit by a pitched ball on the head in
tlie eighth inning and Courneen was sub
stituted when the score A\ r as tied. In
