The Essays of the Class Were Unu sually High -Class. The exercises of the graduating class at the Normal college last night were as unlike the traditional article as the essays of the six young ladies were unlike the pink bundle of foam and flowers that long held sway on these moreor less formidable occasions. There was no straining after effect, no phrase wrung in for the mere sake of the phrase. Asoneenthuslasticlady expressed it, "they were just com mon sense as though men had written them." There was the unusual phe nomenon of genuine spontaneous ap plause, such as would have brought a prima donna out to smile and bow and smile and bow again. The essays were read in tones aud ible in every part of the great hall and in a way to do credit to the teacher of elocution. Frequently a tellingphrase or an inimitable rendering of a pas sage brought applause from the au dience. And the audience was the best behaved the writer has ever seen on a similar occasion there was no talking, no noise, no manifestation of weariness. The exercises began with an excel lent class song, composed by a mem ber, Miss Elsie Gwynn, of Haywood. Then came the paper of Miss Margaret Mc Robert McCall, president of the class, on "The American Woman as Drawn by Her Countrymen," show ing exquisite appreciation of the American woman in literature. Miss Lily Annette Boney discussed "Educational Extension" in a paper showing a close and luminous study of conditions and needs in the state. "Successful Failures," was the novel title of Miss Julia Dameron's essay, it was brilliant, closely woven and highly original. In "Heredity and Environment" Miss Minnie Huffman found a subject which she discussed in a manner show ing deep scientific study of the prob lems of life. Her hits at some vices of the day brought laughter and applause from the audience. Miss Susie McDonald discussed "Immortal Friendships" in a way quite worthy of that excellent subject. "Uncle Remus and His Son," by Miss-Elsie Gwyn was a fine study and appreciative character sketch of the old time darkey a much better sketch indeed than has often found space in pretentious publications. Miss Gwyn's rendering of the negro dialect was almost perfect, as was that of Miss McCaull in the beginning. The program ended with a beautiful vocal quartette "Goodnight" by Misses Hanes. Falsom, Barnett and Sims. The Brockmann Orchestra furnished music between each number. The im provement of the orchestra is so marked and its performances now so excellent that it deserves comment. If the aggregation holds together we shall soon have a really first-class or chestra. At the A. & M. College. The literary programme rendered by the college societies of the A. & M. last night was good. The chapel was beautifully decorated in Old Glory and State colors, also was filled to its ut most seating capacity with enthusias tic visitors from far and near, demon strating that the gloom which hung over this needed institution of learn ing in its infancy has cleared away. The music of the evening was pleasing indeed and reflects much credit upon Prof. Butler, the musical director and student R. W. Richardson, the pian ist. The climax of the occasion was the annual address to the societies by Hon. Jno. C. Dancey, using for his subject, "Youth an Element of Chris tian Development." Hia delivery was good and his utterances logical. The program ended with a rousing chorus "Rejoice in the Lord," with the bene diction by Dr. J. D. Chavis. The programme arranged for tonight promises to be of much interest. A Compliment Worthily Bestowed. Rev. S. F. Conrad, who is in the city in the interest of the trip to Wash ington, attended the .graduating exer cises at the State Normal last night. He was so favorably impressed with Miss Elsie Lindsay Gwyn's essay on "Uncle Remus and His Son" that he tendered her a complimentary ticket to Washington on the excursion June lsi This is a worthy compliment as the essav was popular in conception ana thought, and received a most hearty applause from an. appreciative audi ence. It may be truly said "that all the young ladies acquitted themselves ;i -hnnnr a nri orWHt to the collece. n lull aavuw. - -x: and it is an institution of which both Greensboro and the state snouia De proud.

Impressive Commencement Exercises of the Normal College. . The exeroises dosing the school year at the Normal College this morning were strikingly impressive. The hall decorated in college, class, and alum nae colors, the -flowers banked at the stage angles, the class of young ladies in white, with men and women of riper years on either hand and the hall thronged to its utmost capacity were the materials. Promptly at 11:20 . the speaker of the day, accompanied by President Mclver, Senator Butler, Congressman Fowler, Judge Shaw and other members of the board filed in while the audience broke into applause that rang again when the class of '98 appeared. After prayer by Dr. L. W. Crawford Senator Butler introduced Mr. Lewis and among other things said: "There is nothing in my public career of which I am prouder than' my vote to establish this school when I was a member -of the legislature." The senator added' that if the state must give up either the university or the normal college let the university go. He paid a high compliment to Drs. Alderman and Mclver and was grace fully adulatory of Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis announced as his subject "The Lady or the Tiger," the tiger in this case being civilization up to the time it was leavened by modern enlighten ment. Mr. Lewis has a facility of speech that is a little short of marvel ous and while he was making, as Mr. Butler observed, an "impromptu speech without preparation" his phrases flowed smoothly. His use of language is altogether original. It is impossible to report him except ver batim. In imagery, in voice, in ges ture, language, all, Mr. Lewis was easy and graceful. Hon. Chas. W. Tillett, of Charlotte, delivered the constitutions. He has the fierce moustache of a Tartar and does not look humorous but for irresistible drollery his speech was unexcelled and his audience was kept in a ripple of laughter from his very first sentence. If Mr. Tillet cares to 8 peak here again he will not lack for hearers. Withal there was much good wisdom in his speech. The Bibles were presented by Dr. Smith In his usual polished and weighty style. Dr. Smith always says what is worth the while. After the presentation of the Bibles the diplomas were presented by Dr. Mclver. Waen Miss Yates re ceived her diploma there was a re markable demonstration: The ap plause was thunderous and continued for almost a minute the expression of honest admiration for a young lady who made her own way through col lege. The two literary societies have their entertainment tonight at 8:30. FRANCE CLEAR OF SPAIN. The Government Aroused by the Feeling In America. Paris, May 23 Clear evidence is now being offered of a ministerial de sire to remove the bad impression cre ated in the United States by the offen sive hostilities manifested by certain Paris journals over the Spanish war. M. Hanotaux is resolved to maintain rigid neutrality and will participate in no intervention without first ascer taining whether the proposed condit ions are acceptable at Washington. Further testimony of French official feeling is furnished by an editorial in tonight's Temps emphatically protest ing against the alleged misunder standing between France and America, attributing the hostility shown here to a few boulevard journals whose sym pathy for Spain as the weaker party Is doubtless felt, but Frenchmen would be glad to see Cuba free; and the French government has done and will do everything to safeguard its entire cordiale with the great republic over the sea. The French-American friendship, Temps says, dates from the never-to-be-forgotten days of Washington and Lafayette, and the historic past of both countries In a measure determines their relations In the future. Bang Nabbed Him. A very funny incident happened yes terday and It Is true. A countryman walked into Hotel Jones and tried to beat down the price of a dinner but Uncle Jimmie Jones told him it was strictlv 50 cents. So the fellow went and.took a long, big drlntc of lee wa ter and as he was going out Bang, R J. Reynolds' famous dog, made a dive for the calf of the fellow's leg. Bang had heard the conversation and as the fellow did not register, he though he was doing his duty Winston Journal. To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab? lets.
