Last night the pupils’ annual concert was riven before an immense audience, it seemed that scarcely anyone was k pt •away by the rain .that came up in the « veiling.

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 id 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 Baptist church. Commissioner Patterson Tack, Commissioner of Agriculture S. L. Pat- * terson is back at Avork after a trip to his home in Ooldwell county. He reports the wheat crop as being short The ap ples -n hjs immediate neighborhood, too. I he savs, are far from plentiful.

UNVEILING OF THE SHIPP MONUMENT Five Thousand People Wit ness the Ceremony. BEAU lIFULAND lOUCHING Veil Removed by the bead Hero’s Little Sons REV. E. A. OSBORNE LEADS IN PRAYER Earle Sloan in a Beautiful Address Introduces Col. J. P. Thomas Who Pronounces a Fervent Eulogy on Gallant Young Soldier, (Special to NeAvs and Observer.) 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 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 military governor of Cuba, will, by my direction, transfer to you the control and government of the island of Cuba, to he thenceforth exercised under the provisions of tin* "ontitution adopted by your con stitutional convention as one that day promulgated- and In* will thereupon de clare the occupation of Cuba by the Uni ted States to be at an end.

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.
