WOMAN AND HER INFLUENCE. The Theme of Alumnae Address B Dr. Yates. The annual reunion of the alumnae of Greensboro Female College was held last night in the college chapel. A large number of former students and graduates of the college were present and with the number of visi tors from the city and out of town filled the large auditorium. The hall was beautifully and most tastefully decorated in the national colors flags and bunting were on the wall, hanging from the ceiling and festooned over the lights and with the fair students of this old institution presented a most pleasing appearance. The exercises were opened with prayer by the Rev. Jno. N. Cole, of Durham. This was followed by an instrumental solo by Miss Black which was exquisitely rendered. The Rev. E. A. Yates, D. D., of the North Carolina conference, delivered the address to the alumnae yesterday evening. The speaker took as his theme "Woman's Influence against Infidelity." The key note of his ad dress was given in his text, as the speaker termed it, which consisted of a series of questions in regard to woman and her sphere: "Is woman becoming more masculine and less fem inine and womanly? Is she deserting her home and taking more interest in base ball, foot ball, tennis, golf and other outdoor sports?" In a thought ful address, sparkling and epigram matic gems, abounding in well round ed periods and filled with good advice the speaker urged the young ladies to remain womanly, modest and gentle. One of the evidences of infidelity is the effort on the part of Elizabeth Cody Stanton and others to make what they term a woman's Bible. These he characterized as female Bob Ingersol's and said they were evident ly laboring under the impression that man wrote the Bible and not God. Another evidence he declared was the desire of some women to vote and in this way show their equality with man. The granting of suffrage would expose woman to the possibility of serving on the jury and of duty as police, neither of which is suited to her, and as an American citizen in war she would be worse than useless." While attempting to right her supposed wrongs she may wrong her rights." He gave several instances in which women have attempted to right wrongs and succeeded only making disorder and causing bloodshed. Dr. Yates pleaded with the girls' to remember that in the home woman is most womanly and it is here she is en throned and sceptered and over her husband and for the good her country she wields the greatest and best influ ence. The address was well recieved and the distinguished divine fully upheld the reputation he justly bears as one of North Carolina's most eloquent speakers and preachers. Following the address was a most beautiful song sung by Misses Lola Carraway, Nan Wood and Messrs. Crawford and Bradley. After the announcement of today's program, benediction was pronounced by the Rev. M. H. Vestal. THE ART EXHIBIT. In the parlors on the first floor is the art exhibit.

IYEY PRESENTED THE BIBLES Eight Young Ladies Receive Their Diplomas and Others Receive Their Certificates. The graduating exercises of the class of 1898 from Greensboro Female College were held this morning in the large auditorium in the college. Prayer was offered by the Rev. W. S. Creasy, of Winston. He asked divine guidance for the young ladies who to day go from the walls of the institu tion and whose sphere of life, is broadened and widened. The essays of three graduates were read: "The Social Life in Athens in the Fifth jCentury, B. C;" is the sub ject of the essay by Mi6s Nora Hamlin in which the writer portrayed most ac curately and vividly the intellectual, domestic, athletic, dramatic phases of the life of the Athenians. She drew a sharp contrast between the social life of the present century and that of the fifth and showed the superiority of the latter. Miss Pattie LeGrand read a biographical sketch of the Rev. Eli W. Caruthers. The material for the sketch was meagre and Mi4s LeGrand deserves much credit for her compre hensive biography of this preacher, philanthopiat and teacher. The singing of that plaintive song, Way Down Upon the Swanee River, by Misses Gorrell, Weathersbee, Wynne and Black was extremely sweet and beautiful. The essay, Life in America as Revealed by Her Novelists read by Miss Alberta B.Capel, consid ers life as reflected by American novels and sketches and traces the life of the simple and primitive Puritans and of the gradual development . into the present complex and .more pretentions life. Following the essay of Miss Capel was a most delightful duet ex quisitely rendered by Miss Orr and Mr. Parker. President Peacock presented certifi cates to the following young ladies: For ability to write from 100 to 133 words of new matter per minute certi ficates in stenography were presented to Misses Luia Page,Hattie King, Eva Evans, Fannie - Harris and Belle Raper. Certificates of proficiency in typewriting were presented to Miss Lula Page and Ethel Diffee. Certifi cates in bookkeeping were presented to Misses Jessie Bell and Fannie Harris. Miss Mary O. Black was presented with a diploma from the music depart ment on vocal and instrumental music and harmony. The Rev. Thos. N. Ivey, in a grace- sul speech telling of the influence of the holy book on the lives of individ uals and nations, presented to each member of the graduating class a copy of the Bible. President Peacock then presented to the graduates their diplomas and made a touching talk to them, speak ing of their faithfulness to college duties and of the friendship borne each one by the faculty and trustees of the college and what the college would expect of them in the future. Miss Orr sweetly and very prettily sang "Good-bye, Sweet Day," and most appropriate indeed was the song to the occasion. After the singing of the doxology, the benediction was pronounced by the Rev. M. H. Hoyle. NOTES FROM HIGH POINT. The Local News from Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau, ) High Point, N. C, May 26, '98. Mrs. J. Elwood Cox is spending the day in Greensboro.

Shaw and . Boone a Strong Team for Judicial Honors. The judicial convention yesterday at Durham - did. admirable work. A slight error crept into the telegraphic report sent this paper yesterday. The fourth ballot which resulted - in the nomination .of Thomas J Shaw for Judge stood: Shaw 161; Parker 149, and not 159 as stated yesterday. Guil ford county democrats desire to thank their friends from the other counties who came to their assistance and cast their ballots for Mr. Shaw. . THE "NOMINEE FOR JUDGE. Thomas Jefferson Shaw is a native of Moore county. He is a man of sterling character, one whom any peo ple may well delight to honor. As a private citizen he is quiet, modest and unassuming, true to his friends, with a kindly feeling for all mankind a consistent Christian gentleman. As a lawyer, Mr. Shaw ranks high est among those who know him best and have watched his course since he first entered the bar fourteen years ago. He is courteous, polite and dig nified. He .is able, just and fearless. He possess in an admirable degree the necessary qualities for the discharge of the duties of the position to which he has been nominated. Mr. Shaw is 37 years old, and began to practice law in Troy in 1884. Three years later he removed to his native county, Moore, where he formed a partnership with Mr. W. C. Douglas, now of Raleigh. This firm did a good business and were a formidable team at the bar. In 1893 Mr. Shaw moved to Greensboro and in the fall of that year he formed a partnership with Hon. A. M. Scales, of this city. Since then our people have known him, and his ability, dignified ' bearing and modest manners are recognized and admired to such an extent that Ms adopted people have honored their adopted son with the nomination for the important office of superior court judge. He will wear the ermine well and honorably. He will administer the functions of the high office of judge with dignity and with justice, properly tempered with mercy. Elect him and in doing so the state will honor herself. THE NOMINEE FOR SOLICITOR. The writer does not know Mr. R. B. Boone, the democratic nominee for solicitor of the Fifth district, person ally. The fact, however, that he was nominated on the first ballot over so splendid a gentleman as S. M. Gattis, and in a district where reside so many bright and able lawyers, is sufficient guarantee that no mistake was made in selecting him. He is about 40 years of age, a good citizen, a splendid law year and an eloquent speaker. The solicitorship will be safe in his hands. He is clean and able and will take care of the state's interests. Shaw and Boone a model team. The Fifth district convention has done a splendid work. SPAIN'S BOATS AT flARTlNIQUE. The Terror, as a Last Resort, is Bor rowing Coal from the Alicante. St. Pierre, Martinique, May 24 The Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer Terror and the hospital ship Alicante still re main at Fort de France. It is believed that the Terror has completed all her repairs. Finding it impossible, owing to the action of the authorities, to recoal here from the British steamer Twick enham, which has on board 2,800 tons of coal for the Spanish warships in West Indian waters, the commander of the Terror has been compelled to get a supply from the bunkers of the Alicante, and the work of tranship ment is now going on. The authori ties, however, will not permit the Terror to take from the Alicante more than coal enough to carry her to the nearest Spanish port. It is thought that both the Terror and Alicante will sail as soon as the former finishes coaling. Fifty Passengers Drowned. By Cable to Thb Tjeijbqram.
