Wake Forest, N. C., May 26.—Wake
Forest has been filling up fast today.
Kvery train has brought a goodly quota
to swell the big crowd that is to see the
boys take their sheep-skins this week.
The campus presents a very lively ap
pearance. and the band, which by the
way meets every train, adds much to
the gayety of things in general.
The college has had a most success
ful year in every respect, and every one
with the institution, is feeling
exceedingly well over its achievements
’ and it; bright prospects.
President Charles E. Taylor said to
day, in talking about the year's work;
“We are just closing up the sixty
eighth P'ssion of the college. The presi
dent in his report to the board of Trus
tees has spoken of it as in all respects
a good session. The young men have,
with unusually rare exceptions, studied
well and behaved well. We find every
year that the Freshmen who come to us
are better prepared for their classes.
“We now have nearly a score of asso
ciations! academies, and we are look
ing very hopefully to them as feeders in
the future. There will be two' J.tastcrs
of \it to graduate on Wednesday, and
: i Bachelors of Arts, 6 Bachelors of
1 aw. It is a strong class and the men
are going to be heard from some day.
“1 he new gymnasium has revealed its
great value during the last session. The
Department of Physical Culture, under
the direction of Prof. Crittenden, has
largely alleviated or prevented the ail
men's incident to sedentary life.
“Considerable additions have been
made to the library during the year, and
a new card catalogue will soon be com
pleted. Arrangements will he made to
keep the library open eight hours a day
next session. The improvements made
in the domitory i r’ ' and the ap
pointment of Mrs. 1 .S. Vann as college
matron have condr ed greatly to clean
liness and order."
The commencement began last night
with ibe baccnk mate sermon bv Rev.
,1. W. Lvnch. of lloailoke, Va. It was a
brilliant, powerful effort, a message that
it ade an inq its. on that will last long
in the minds of all his hearers.

THE CAP ’A I . AUREATE SERMON
At eight o'clock last night, after a
In i ;■<' -j .»wd had gather 'd in the Memor
ial Hal!, Rev. J. W. Lynch, of Roanoke,
Va.. who was to preach the baccalaureate
sermon, was escorted to the rostrum by
Pr -sid- nt Taylor, Dr. Skinner and Dr.
Tlufham. Then the chief marshals ush
er* i the Senior Class to the seats which
v re reserved for them.
Th-’ services began w ith music* by the
choir, la . Hutham read some | verses
from the fourth chapter of Ephesians.
After prayer by Dr. Skinner and several
hymns. Mr. Lynch was introduced in a
few '.veil-chosen words by Dr. Hufham.
Then for the next forty-five minutes the
judmnee listened attentively to a ser
mon couched in the purest English, re
The News and Observer.
with words of admonition for the future
conduct of the Senior Class.
The theme of the sermon was, “The
Goals of Christian Manhood." His text
was Ephesians 4: 13: “Till we. all come
in the unity of the faith and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a per
fect man, unto the measure of the sat.ue
of the fulness of Christ.”
“The first goal is harmony. ‘Till we all
come into the unity of the faith.’ I inter
pret this faith to be Jesus Christ, His per
son, His words, His works, his spirit.
Nothing else has stood the test of time.
Nothing else will draw men to a com
mon centre or bind and hold all men to
gether. With this definition of faith, I
declare on the authority of the text, it
to be God’s ultimate purpose to bring
men into harmony one with another-
For the\ perfecting of this union God em
ploys mkny and varied agencies.” Among
these he dwelt upon the influence of
commerce and the extension of modern
knowledge.
“The second goal of Christian man
hood is knowledge. G*od wants no faith
that is rot linked with knowledge. The
phrase, “knowledge o* the Hon of God"
is deeper than we can comprehend. To
know Jesus is to know God; to know
God is to know all; and to know all is to
know as wo are known. The one school
in which we may learn Christ is '.ho
school of experience and it has for its
motto the words: ‘Oh taste and see that
the Lord is good.’
“The third goal in Christian manhood
is goodness. wo fiind the ngatiie
relation. God wants no faith that is not
linked w ith knowledge and no knowledge
that is not linked with goodness
To attain the idea! of Christ* two things
are necessary: (1.) A perfect model,
and >-) A vitalizing and transforming
power. Wo have both in Christ, He *s
our pattern and He is the power
; “Gentlemen of the graduating class, I
wanted you tc see the throe shiniir.g
goals of Christian mahhood —harmony,
knokdgo, goodness. Bring your lives
into the harmony of His peace, vour
minds into the light of His knowledge,
your characters to the measure of His
goodness, and you shall stand one day on
prouder heights and in the midst of
greater throngs, even in the number of
all those who have ‘come into the unity
of the faith and of the knowledge of the
Son of God unto a perfect man. the
measure of the statue of the fulness of
Christ.* ”
PROF. ALDERMAN'S ADDRESS.
Memorial Hall was filled to its utmost
capacity tonight to hear Prof. J- T. Al
derman, Superintendent of the Hender
son graded schools, deliver the Alumni
Address. It was a powerful plea for
the brotherhood of men, marked by pas
sages of great beauty, and eloquence.
After a brief introduction Mr. Aid* r
man referred to these alumni who have
died during the year, among them being
Chief Justice Faircloth and Mr. H. G-
Flournoy, who within one month after
his graduation was drowned, and Mr.
P. W. Johnson, (Jen. Thomas F. loon,
Rev. C. G. Jones, of Covington, Ky. lie
then spoke of the class of ISSft. his own
class, and called the roll.
He announced as his subject. “The An
cient Mysteries and Modern Fraternity."
Beginning with the ancient Hebrew
mysteries, the speaker traced the origin,
development and purposes of them all
through the Egyptian, Eleusinian. the
Essence and others. From these mys
teries the tendency to organized frater
nity through the succeeding ages was
shown the speaker saying: “The search
ing after truth finds delight in tracing
the footprints of the ancient order, which
is wonderful m its unparalleled history,
its secret influence for good, its perpet
uity. in spite of tlx* most hitter persecu
tions- From it originated the various
orders of knighthood which influenced
the civilization of Europe.”
Mr. Alderman referred to the great
cathedral builders of the middle ages,
and ask< v d the question, who were those
master builders? Whence came they?
‘ They were,” lie said,’“an order of work
men, bound together bv strong ties of
brotherhood, containing in their midst
master builders minds had been
stored with the learning of the ancient
mysteries.”
The'-speaker then passed from the dis
eusssion of the purely fraternal associa
tion io that unhappy condition where
there is an absolute want of the fraternal
spirit: and came down to the present
time, of which he said: “King-craft
has been overthrown, priest-craft is fast
passim? away, but mammon-eraft is
erecting its temple, Phoenix-like, upon
the ashes of the other two- Those touch
ed with the greed for gold, and who arc
endowed with financial acumen. ma.V'
th< ir way to this temple, w here the ljfe
blood of the poor, the tender sensibili
ties of the oppressed and human hearts
are bartered for gold. The mutual de
pendence ot man has been forgotten. In
many of Ihe so-called civilized com
munities the picture of suffering and
misery ear- hardly be overdrawn." The
oppressors are no less savage than the
painted warrior or the midnight assas
sin. :
"There is nothing inherently wrong in
the combination of capital. It is only
when the corporation, conscious of its
power, becomes absorbed with an inordi
nate greed for gain and spoil that it be
comes a curse." The speaker then drew
a graphic picture of the suffering and
miseo' incident to child labor in mod
ern industrial enterprises.
From the conception of organized fra
ternity Mr. Alderman passsed on to a
broader and a holier field, the ‘‘Father
hood of God and the Brotherhoood of
man,” and said in this connection that
th* great Parliament of Religions held
in Chicago a few years ago showed the
tendency of manhood toward more uni
versal fraternity. “As th'e human race
becomes more enlightened by the high
est type of universal educatin'?!, peue

Greensboro, N- C., May 26- —The <ie
cennia’ commencement of the State Nor
mal and Industrial College began
here Sunday with the annual sermon to
the graduating class, which was pj^fceli
ed by Rev. Dr. William Adams Brown,
of Union Theological Seminary, New
York City. The auditorium of the oof
lege was crowded, some being unable to
get seats, though undergraduates serv
ing as marshals were successful in get
ting an unusually large number of peo
ple comfortably seated in the hall. Rev.
I>r. L. N. Crawford led in prayer, after
the doxology had been rendered by the |
College Glee Club, supported by a
chorus cf male voices selected from the
several church choirs of the city. Be
fore and after the sermon there were ex
quisitely rendered sacred selections by
the college club, directed by Prof. Clar
ence R. Brown. ,
Dr. Melver introduced Dr. Brown as
a man who was distinguished as a teach
er as well as distinguished as a preacher-
The speaker announced his text as Ro
mans, 8:19: “For the earnest expecta
tion of the creation waiteth for the man.-*
ifestation of the sons of God.” The theme
was “The World's Need of Christ-like
Men "
The sermon was one of great simplicity
and great ability. It was the simplicity
of gr< atness and the greatness of sim
plicity.
ESSAYS LAST NIGHT.
The auditorium tonight was tried to its
utmost capacity.* A thousand or more
of parents and friends of the young ladic.t
and friends of the young ladies were
pfeget-1. The interest was great and the
< njcyment of the exercises was intense.
Among the thirty-five excellent essays
htfhded in by the members of the grad
uating class, the following were selected
by the faculty to be read at this even
ing's exercises.
The Mission of Old Maids, Bottle
Tripp. Pitt county. The old maid is the
harmonizing element in our social, relig
ious and philanthropic life. In the home,
the schccl and the church, among the
suffering, the bereaved and the desti
tute-*-her life is one of consecrated ser
vice wherever gentle forbearance, tire
less patience and willing service are
needed, her blessed influence is felt.
Clara Barton, Mary Lyon, Dorothy Dix
and Frances Willard are types of tin
life beautiful. As long as children are
to l e taught, tiie sick cared for, the poor
and tiie distressed visited and relieved;
in short, while the better and higher life
is possible, so long will the old maid
be needed and her influence tell.
The Child in Literature, Virginia
Scott Newby, Perquimans county.
Almost totally ignored in the past, for
gotten even by Shakespeare, Milton and
Byron, the child is today the most pop
ular theme in literature. To the artists
and to Froebel is owing much of this in
creased interest in child life. With Dick
ens. the champion of defenceless inno
cents, a new era dawned. George El
liot, Eugene Field, Mark Twain and
Whitcomb Riley caught the inspiration
and by their writings have increased our
love and sympathy fer the little child-
The pure child, in this the century of
children, is the hope of future gem ra
tions, and its influence shall had the
coming race into light arid liberty.
God Made the Country- God Mad-' the
Town, Minnie Lavinia Fields, Guilford
county.
Christ’s law, democracy, statesman
ship. self-preservation, all demand that
we labor for the' uplifting of country life.
The disastrous exodus from the country
is to bo attributed to the greater at
tractioi s of town life. Chief among
these are the greater rewards for labor
and the opportunities for social and inlel
le< Dial improvement. We should see
that the youth are given right ideals of
the dignity of manual labor, that with
trained minds and skilled hands they may
demand and receive the rewards of intel
ligence, an i finally, that adequate op
1<- rtunity for this 'higher mental c ut- ’
ture and spiritual uplift is not wanting.
Egotism as Displayed in Everyday,
Life, Carrie Louise Sparser, Surry
county.
A certain amount of self •( st* cm may!
be. said to be essential to worldly sue- J
ccss. Essential or non essential egotism •
is an American characteristic. Mani
festing itself in a variety of ways and •
concerned with a multitude if objects it J
is confined to no one class, age, sex or
profession. Our State pride is a form of
this universal self-worship. Proud of
cur natural resources, of our first at
tempts at colonization, of things done and
things attempted, we are proudest of all
A
perhaps of our military record. Minis- *
tors, writers, public speakers, young
and old, rich and poor, male and female,
we are all egotistical. Egotism is the
motive power that moves humanity.
The Revelation of God in Nature,
Julia Pasmore, Wake county.
The seen world is full of mysteries,
yet proclaims in unmistakable language,
the hand that made us is divine. All men
read this truth, all interpret it, all give
it expression in life. The beauty of
nature is the poet's inspiration, its sub
limity, the object of savage worship,
and its symmetry the revelation ot a God
all In all. From the delicate fringe of ,
the meadow daisy to the rugged peak of 1
towering mountain —all nature, animate
•and inanimate is but a revelation of the
divinity, power, wisdom and love of God. '
Our Debt to the Birds, Neita Watson,
Vance county.
’i he birds are a valuable part of our
State's resources. Their contribution to
the beauty and happiness of life is not (
tc be measured in dollars and cents. As
scavengers, as destroyers of rodents and
injuiious insects they are to be reckoned ,
amrfng the benefactors of mankind.
The fact that through the ravages of in
sects our country sustains ar. annual
loss of $200,000,000 is proof pra* tical of
the necessity for protecting the birds.
Without this protection they are in a fai;*
way to bo An educated
sentiment is needed that will intelligent
ly shield the birds from all destructive
agencies.

THE HORNETS BISS G 9 6.. 6
This , my masters, to some who read
these chronicles, will be a tearful re
frain of woe.
To others it will send as a *paen of re
joicing, with the full stop pulled out and
the calliope whistle wide open.
It altogether depends upon the point of
view.
To those who pinned their faith upon
the one time Red Birds the skv is over
cast. and the day is dark and dreary.
But those who sit in the band wagon
with the Buzzing Hornets everything is
spring time Gentle Annie, and the song
birds are carolling melodies sweet to
hear.
Raleigh's undoing in the contest of lTall
and but yesterday afternoon carae be
cause of two things, which we itemize
aft dr this fashion :
First: A great big Hornet. “Long
John" ißshcp was at the slab-
Second: The Pennant Winners con
cluded that to “err was human” and sol
emnly agreed to be human.
Oh. yes, the score. Well, it was seven
to two, and all that Raleigh is taking
care of is the two. t
Umpire McNamara had fallen a victim
'o convivial habits yesterday and was
not in the proper shape to do the umpir
ing. so President Busbee appointed Idr.
J. Sherwood Upchurch, of Raleigh, as
the umpire for the day. Mr. Upchurch
“made good” and everything ran
smoothly, until in the shank of th." game,
when he called a foul ball that Pastor
smacked over in the rare trank that was
good for three bases at least. The bleach
ers disagreed with the umpire, but many
who went out and viewed the situation
afterward said the decision was all right.
I he ball looked fair, and Cooper, of
the Hornets, woh was after it in loft
field, ran smack into the fence and
smashed of the panels in his rush. He
went at it like a locomotive, but was
not hurt.
Ashenback, the “Old German,” as he
dubs himself, wms in the game and was
the life of the day. Ho has collected a
fine set of ball players, and in yest >r
day’t game they showed up as stars.
They won the game on their merits, as
thirteen hits against sev*m show, not to
speak of the error column.
There was a great crowd cut to son
thr contest, and the uproar and confus
ion on the bleachers, the applause In
the grand stand, the ringing of jingle
jangle bells, was mere like ball days
of last year then any this season.
Bishop is a Wonder at the slab. He
was wild, terribly wild at times, but lie
kept his head, and when things seemed
against him. pulled out of the hole.
Leonard pitched a good,game also, but
the errors behind him in the early part
of the game must have been discourag
ing. Rut yet at no time did Raleigh
seem to have a chance to win-
For two innings it was blank, blank
for both tennis, but when Charlotte came
up in the third the trouble began. Coop
er, Weaver, Armstrong each took hits,
the last to centre, where a wild throw’
home allowed Cooper ta scare. Then
O'Steer batted to Farrel at first, who
threw to second, where then' was no one
to catch the ball. It. went out into I* ft
field, and by the time the dumb ball
playing was over Weaver* and Arm
strong had secred. Ashenback hatted *o
Leonard and a wild threw gave him
first, but Wynne got a fly from Brcuthers
and doubled on’ the Jolly German at
first.
Charlotte st ored again when Armstrong
and Osteen led with hits. The ball was
thrown te Wynne, but he let it gn and
Armstrong scored. Ashenback flow to
centre and Osteen scored on the throw.
Brcuthers singled, but as hit by the
batted 'call hen H* mpb man batted be
tween first an*! second. Lehman went
out to first.
Raleigh got in a run in the fifth.
Leonard had afnited when Pastor singled
in left. He stole second and scored an
earned rnu when Soffle hit in left for
a double, hut was lost at third trying to
make it a three bagger. Farrell flow
out tc centre.
In charlotte's sixth Bishop fanned and
again came a trio of singles from Coop
er, Weaver and Armstrong. Weaver's
hit looked very much ilke a foul, but
Cooper scored on it. Osteen flew in
right, but Ashenback singled in centre
Weaver scored. Brcutheis tie wout to
Pcffie.
Raleigh died hard in the ninth. Wynne
singled in right and Leonard walked.
Pastor drove a three-bagger in left that
it wms impossible to call foul. On it
Wynne scored but Leonard failed to
speed up and was caught at the plate.
Soffle fanned and with Pastor still at
third Farrell died from Hemplemann to
Armstrong.
There was some snappy ball playing
and some ragged ball playing, but the
details of each are not charming and
so to the curious, an inspection of the
tabulated score and the story it tells
is respectfully invited.

■vestigate Lynchings
INQUIRY FOR JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
The Resolution After Seme Remarks by Mr
Baily Goes Over. Gallinger Actually
Admits They Have Lynchings
in His Section,
The Gospel Tent
(Bv the Associated Press.)
Washington, May 26. —During the
greater part of the Senate’s session to
day Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, one of
the minority members of the Philippine
Committee, occupied the oor in a dis
cussion of the Philippine question. He
devoted much of the time in justifying
the course of his newspaper, the Denver
News, from whose editorials Mr. Poraker,
of Ohio, quoted several days ago. Mr.
Patterson / quoted from the utterances of
the paper to show that it consistently
had advocated the independence of the
Filipinos since December. 1898, # the edi
torials quoted by Mr. Poraker having
been written prior to that time. dis
cussed the whole Philippine question, and
had not concluded his remarks when he
yielded the floor for the day. Sevora.l
lively colloquies occurred during the
speech.
After some further discussion of the
Philippine question between Mr. Poraker
and Mr. Hoar, dealing particularly with
President McKinley’s proclamation to the
Filipinos, the bill was laid aside for the
day and sixty-two private tension bills
were passed.
Mr. Gallinger (N. H.) offered a resolu
tion providing that the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate should make an in
vestigation into the subject of lynchings
in the United States with a view of as
certaining whether there is any remedy
for them. Mr. Gallinger said he intro
duced the resolution in full view of the
fact that he might be charged with pre
cipitating a sectional controversy, hut
nothing further was from his thoughts.
He said lynchings were not confined to
the South. Horrible cases had occurred
in the North, and white men as well as
black, had been the victims. Throughout
the country intense interest was mani
fested in the subject. He thought it im
perative that the Judiciary Committee
should take some action upon the sub
ject. During the past ten years 2.658
lynchings had occurred in the United
States. If the strong arm of the law
could reach out to prevent such occur
rences he deemed it desirable that it
do so.
He had read the ,Associated Press ac
count of the burning of a negro in Texas
a few days ago. He said history did not
furnish a .more flendish instance of mob
wrath and Fox’s hook of martyrs was
tame In comparison.
The whole wretched business, he said,
was a disgrace to American manhood,
and in the light of which the alleged
atrocities in the Philippines paled into
insignifleanee.
The Spanish inquisition did not furnish
a case exceeding that one in inhumanity.
He apprehended that it would be said
that the Federal Government was power
loss and that the States had exclusive
jurisdiction. If so, the American people
desired to know it. Public sentiment .
should he aroused to prevent such hi
ll u man atrocities.
They should come to an end and the
majesty of the law should be vindicated.
Mr. Bailey (Texas) said ho had no idea
of being drawn into any sectional con
troversy by the Senator from New Hamp
shire. and he would be willing to have
the people judge the men who perpe
trated such outrages. He desired, how
eve, to discuss the question whether the
Govenment had the right to go into the
several States and take charge of peace
and good order. He asked, therefore,
that the resolution go over. ”
“There can he no objection,” said Mr.
Bailey, to a report from the Judiciary
Committee on the subject, because 1 am
sure there can be but one conclusion
reached by that committee. But if, in
the course of its investigation it should
undertake to parade before the country
all the lynchings and burnings that have
occurred in any section over a nameless
offense and all the murders of women and
children, and all the abductions which
have occurred in other sections of the
country, the only result, it seems to me,
would he to make us think less of our
selves as a people and as a nation, and
I have little disposition to indulge lu
that pastime myself.” t
The resolution went over. Subsequent
ly Mr. Culberson (Texas) had read the
story of the burning of a negro near
Leavenworth. Kansas, last January, say
ing he wanted the fact shown that these
crimes occurred in other States than
Texas. He honed the New Hampshire
Senator when reiterating examples of
these atrocities in the future would not
confine himself to one State.
Mr. Hoar, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, said his committee had had
the subject under consideration and the
hill considered hpd been reported by him
adversely. The matter had been consid
ered as a question of constitutional law
and duty.
