" The one hundred and fifth commence ment of the University had its beginning yesterday morning when the baccalau reate sermon was delivered in Gerrard Hall before the Senior Class by Dr. G. B. Strickler, of the Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, Va. The exercises were held at 11 o'clock. The Seniors, in their caps and gowns, preceded by the chief marshal and Drs. Strickler, Alderman and Hume, march ed into the chapel and took the first rows of seats reserved for them. The hall was tilled with students and many visitors were present. Dr. Hume read the leon from the 11th chapter of Hebrew's and music was furnished by the University choir. Dr. Alderman, iu introducing Dr. Strickler, said: "It gives me very sincere pleasure to present to the University and to the class of 1000 as their baccalaureate preacher, the Rev. G. B.

Durham, X. C, June 4. Special. The forty-seventh annual commencement of Trinity College is now on. bavins started last night with the baccalaureate address by Prof. Plato Durham. This address was to have been delivered by Dr. J. C. Kilgo, pi esident of Trinity, but a case of mumps interfered and he was com pelled to remain indoors with a swollen face. This afternoon at 5 o'clock the Board of Trustees met in annual session, but about the only thing of interest to the public was the annual report of Presi dent Kilgo. Tomorrow will be a day of speeches, sermons and addresses. At 11 o'clock a. m. Dr. Lyman ', Abbott will preach the baccalaureate sermon; Dr. W. G. Brad shaw will deliver, the alumni address in the afternoon, and Hon. John Teninle (i raves will deliver the literary address at night. Wednesday will be graduating day. and the largest class iu the history of the college will receive diplomas. Baccalaureate Address. A large audience heard the address of Rev. Plato Durham last night. The subject of the speaker's discourse Mas "The Worker." lie did not mean by work the mere expenditure of physical energy. This U a concepti6n of work that damns a man and the world, divid ing it into two hostile camps. Xeither is true work the expenditure ot potn physical and intellectual energy.

"At your last meeting I called your attention to th nt-vd of better scientific equipments. During the year there have iv-i eqhoqMMi tour laboratories in phys ics, one in biology and three in chem istry. The apparatus was purchased from the best manufacturers in Ameri ca. England, Germany. France and Switzerland. Only the highest standard apparatus has. been purchased, and while it has been expensive, the demands for a high order of scientific work made it necessary. There is now nr reason why the college should not take a leading rank among Southern institutions in the study of science. AH scientific courses, undergraduate and graduate, have been revised and enlarged, while new courses have been added. Among the latter is a course in electrical engineering. With the large facilities in the city and elec trical instruments in the laboratories, the college offers leading advantages to young men desiring to take this line of ftudy. "The library has had a year of great success. It is now the center of college work. The librarian shows that the monthly average of books issued has been 51.0 volumes, while even a larger use has been made of it by students carrying on special investigations during the hours it has been open to them: 1!,487 bound volumes and K7S pamphlets have been added to it during the year. Of this number there is a collection of nearly all the extant Knglish litera ture from the beginning of the seven teenth century. Dr. Few, who had com mitted to him the duty of securing this collection, has rendered the college great service, as very many of the works were difficult to find, and nearly all of them came from England and Europe. In English literature much larger courses of study can be undertaken because of this acquisition to the equipments. "The historical museum lias steady growth. It is uow one of tbe most prom ising movements in our Mate for the collection of historical relics, and will some day make the college the center of interest to tlu student of Xorth Caro lina history. This important department of the college was started, and has been been fostered by. Dr. Basset t, to whom the college will always be indebted for this valuable feature in its equipment. "Very many additions have been made to the biological museum. During the past summer Dr. Ilamaker gave much line and toil to the collection of speci- mens on tue sea coast ami in uie nioun- ains. Six hundred birdskins were do nated by a friend to this museum, be sides' many specimens of various sorts lave been either purchased by the col eere or donated by friends. It has been . . , i l necessary to tnimi a large numoer oi . .. ases in which to store these specimens for the easy use of students, a well as the proper display of them.

Grays Armory tonight. I they contain, it is given a prominence such as jio other grace in the whole cata logue. Believers shall be saved; believ-ers-not shall be damned. There is no oontiict between Faith and Reason as some people argue. We are not required to believe anything contrary to reason. We are not asked to believe anything without the very -best reason and reason is furnished in the Bible which is the revelation of God. The forty different authors of the various books in the Bible agree on every point and there is perfect unity in their writ ings. It is the only incident iu all liter ature where such unity obtains. Millions of men have been brought under the in fluence of that look and been freed from bondage and ignorance. On -strength of that we are asked to believe in it. Is there anything contrary in that? Reason and Faith are in -perfect harmony. Why then does the Bible s-peak so -much of Faith? 1st. Faith as the controlling -principle of human conduct has first place, not only religion, but has a (prominent place in the family, in human society, in or ganization of many kind, in the business world and in the intellectual world. How could these things exist if people did not have Faith iu one another. There could be no properly called civilization without the belief of man in man. 2nd. All our -knowledge rests on I? aith and Faith alone. For man to object to the Bible because it contains too much faith, he must object to all things furn ished by God and to all knowledge of every kind. It is true that there is a great deal -about reliligion we cannot un derstand except through faith, but that is not peculiar to religion. Most familiar things we come in contact with are solved to us only through faith.. 3rd. So much is said about faith be cause from it all other graces are formed and flow out from it. Of all the graces the human soul is so constituted that it can have no other grace until it has faith. It controls absolutely all affections, conscience, character and life, and hence it is so important. 4th. It is toe only grace that can bring us into saving contact with Jesus Christ. Our sins must be pardoned and that can -De none only uy .having faith in Christ. Faith as a principle of human conduct has just as large a (place every where as it does in the Bible. Can't we then see for ourselves why the Scriptures say so much about faith? for without it we cannot be saved. The King of Internal Kinffdoms savs that he that believeth shall lie saved. lln concluding Dr. -Strickler said: "So, my young mends, as you are about to go- out in life have you that faith in Jesus Christ and all the teachings of the -Bible? If you have absolute faith your lives will he lives of honor and of success and you wdl make yourselves a Diessmg to youh generation." Dr. -Striekler's effort was a magnifi cent one.

The man who brings nothing to pass is like a stream whose course is dammed, overflowing its banks and devastating all the life that is about it. Our world is a working world, a work ing order of society and ruled by a work ing God. Any education is a failure that does not furnish the inspiration to work, the ability to work and the persistency to await the attainment of results. There are three things necessary to First, knowledge of things We cannot work in a world ignorant of. Ignorance of the world, of its needs, its laws and forces is the cause of countless misery. It makes hatred between classes, in spires anarchy, murders, life and happi ness. In the next place, we must be divinely discontented with things as they are. There is a philosophy abroad that teach es man to -be satisfied with whatever is to believe that whatever exists is the will of God. 'this is false. God looks with no satisfaction-npon murder, starva tion or ignorance. He listens with no satisfaction to any crv of misery. It is time for us to ston lavins the crimes and wrones of 'this world to our God. In the third tdace. we should have faith in thiuss as they are to be or ought to be. We must, dream of better things and unless we can dream of better tliiii'rs. we can neither have the faith nor the desire to bring them to pass. Every worker must be inspired of Cod.'for this is II s world, and only His win snail be doue. Every: man who would bring to pass what ought to be must work with God.- and after God's plans and ways. Changes cannot be wrought in a moment, nor by one individual. Each m.m must be satisfied to do a part, to be patient in awaiting results, seein that God labors j through the infinity of roars, always bringing out of the things that are. the things that are better. Finally, every; worker must sacrifice his life for his work. This is the way of Christ, and the only way f the true workman. Not that one's life need be lost in a revolution or by violence, but by lnvimr aside every selfish ambition. taking up God's work and laboring that His will be done: As such a worker in this world I bid you all godspeed. Ths President' Report. A meeting of the Board of Trustees was held this afternoon, at .which meet inir Dr. Kilgo submitted his annual re- nort as president of the college. This T-enort. in part, was as follow: 1 ' . . -M 4 4 k "During the year hvi nave oeen matriculated in the college department and 87 in the high schooL making total of SiG. which is the largest matric ulation in the history of the college. From the reoorts of the faculty I learn that thP ireneral work of the students has been gratifying, though in ft few in stances there have been unsatisfactory results. It is with gratitude to a kin Providence that I record another year of freedom from death among our students and while there has been sickness among them, yet it has yielded to treatment and no serious hurt hms resulted from any case. "Large improvements have been made luring the past rear, hour new build the lugu and a boarding hall, and two residences have been added to the college buildings one a residence cottage and the other for the occupancy of the president.

These are the lines of Trinity's policy, and with patience it will work them out. "The results of each year s work how increasing reasons for close adherence to this well-defined policy. There is sense of a serious mission apparent in all the plans and efforts of the faculty. Trinity is not the place where men make contracts and secure livelihoods, and luxuriate in the traditional dignity of the old-time school men. These are se rious men, working with the conscious ness of a mission to the South and to the Nation. All this is no less true of students than it is of teachers, and could not be logically otherwise. The Trinity student is a serious maix n brave fellow in tue univer?-, uiu, t-Kurn with a consciousness of the power of knowing, and is ever working in the sound of au eternal call to what is lie yond and to act with the intention of a serious result.

A young man tore off her jacket and another her hat. She was struck bv the fists nf men and bruised about the face and body. A pocketbook which she carried in her hand was snatched away and the money taken. . Piece by niece her clothing' wa torn away, while she appealed for shel ter at the nearest house. The occupants, however, were afraid the mob would tear down the building and refused her ad mittance. She succeeded in reaching an alley, down which she ran. fololwed by the hooting men. Finaly she escaped by concealing herself in a cellar. In South Twelfth street another inci dent of the same kind occurred. Stella Broderick got off a car only to be as sailed and hooted at by a mob. Her jacket was torn from her by men. She ran down an alley- and into the home of Mrs. Folke. The men surrounded the house and began throwing stones through the window. Mrs". Folke got a revolver and opened tire on the mob from her front window and the men scattered. A riot, during the progress of which a boy was fatally shot and a cl.vn.i-' mite explosion marred what would other wise have been an uneventful Sunday. As a car on the Tower Grove line of the St. Louis Transit Company was pass ing the corner of Twefth and Calhoun streets a crowd of strike sympathizers began throwing stones at it. An un known man leaned from a window of the car and tired a revolver shot toward th crowd. The bullet sped over the head of the mob and lodged in the breast of Peter Frank, aged HI, who was sitting in the doorway of his father's house. The citizen members of the posse com; tatus had 'their first experience with ac tive service today when several compa nies were assigned for guard duty at the. Park Avenue, Easton Avenue and South ern Electric power-houses of the Transit Company. While on guard duty the members of the posse will be subject to strict mili tary discipline.
