A FIa! Commencement Programme
Great Success of the Institution.
Our readers know that we heartily ap
prove of education on an industrial line.
Every boy and every girl, whether there
is Deed for it or not should b fitted to do
something well thai they may be properly
equipped fcr the battles of lite and lor Un
reason we believe that every n r u: i-e-ment
should be given to the tw State
Institutions, Agricultural ami M.-clianj-l
College for boys and the K..rmul :ind
Industral Institute lor girls.
We are gratified at the excellent work
that has been doDe in both these schools.
bat we wish now to speak particularly oi
the latter and its suu-ess from facts lurn
ished by President Ctia. D. Mclver.
"The commencement programme lias
beeu prepared with a view to giving tile
people of the Stiitj an entertainment
worthy of their attention, au l with the
hope that the aien and women of North
Carolina would be induced to actend the
commencement occasion ol the State

pooie njort) interested in the work aDd

of learning, and at the sunie liine Que
which has the largest number of North
Carolina students ever enrolled at any
college.
From the day that the institution ws
opened in October, 1892, the number of
applicants for admission has been more
than twice as many as could be accom
modated in the dormitories of the institu
tion, and abnt 150 students this year
have b.osraed in private taiuihes. 1 lie
number of students enrolled is 390. ex
clusive of the Practice and gbaervation
School,
More than twenty Of tfcese are grad
uates of other institutions; one.tlurd of
them ate paying their expenses without
help from parents; about two thirds of
them say that if they bad not come to
this institution tbey would not have at
tended any college for girls in North
Carolina; about three-fourths of them ex
pect to become teachers; they represent
eighty pf the ninety-six counties in the
Statet and the average ?lge is neany twen

It is the only Institution, -orin Caro
lina where the State or any church in the
State has given any material aid to
ehearjen education for the white women
of the State except at the cc-educational
collesres.
VTbis is an Institution belonging to the
Slate, The tacts stated abo?e indicate
what a wide field of usefulness the insti
tution has before it if it can receive from
the State something like the same support
that is given to either ot thp Sfate a in
stitutions for men,
The Normal and Industrial School bos
had more applicants for admission than
it CHild accommodate. Itns only indi
cates how great a demand there is tor an
institution ot this kind If the Stnte
would make a sufficient appropriation to
enlarge and properly equip the plant,
wbipb is, in tne main, a nonauon from
tbe town of Greensboro to" seen re the lo
cation, 750 to 1.000 students then within
few years might reasonably tie ex

Tbe State should see to it that the
financial encouragement needed is forth
coming. Uive tne gins 01 me eiaie every
opportunity possible.

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
Its
Mala Object to Secure ForAlrn
Trade for the South The Good
Res nits Expected at
Wilmington and
Els.where
Thn Star of Friday morning announced
A special nieeting of the Wilmington Pro
duce exchange to be held that afternoon.
Col. I. W. Avery, special commissioner of
the Cotton States and International Ex
position was to make an address in belialf
qf the Exposition. It is to be held in the
Jail of next yr-ar
Col, Avery seeks to get Exchangts to
errdorse the Exposition and urge the State
authorities to make an exhibit, and
to ask. our Senators and Representatives
in Congress to favor an rppropriutiun by
the general Government tor a national ex
hibit, It is stated tltat the main object of the
proprietors of the Exposition is to secure
for this country the foieign trade of all
countries southh of us the West Indies
Mexico; South and Central America
whose trade amounts to eleven hundred
millions of dollars, of which this country
now gets about one-flKhi the balance go
ing fo other countries, when it ought to
pome to the United States,
Alabama, it is said is itie first coa) state
of the South, with Mobile a gulf port,
and yet her shipments of coal to these
countries is very small, while England
two thousand miles further, sends them
annually $8,000,000 worth of coal. Ship
merits of cofee frqn) these poultries to.
the Uqifed State annually amount to
$120,000,000, and of this the South gets
only six millions, Wilmington used to
have some of this trade', but has none
now, and this exposition is to help her
regain it.
Direct trade is one of the great purpo
ses of this movement; and the State of
North Carolina with he.r great tobacco
interests, her cotton manufacturing, the
second in the South, her established port
of Wilmington, one of the oldest and
best on the Southern Seaboard, will b
one of the chief beneficiaries of this ip-?
creased trade.
President Cleveland Not at Xorehead.
Thursday the Buoy tender Violet, on
which President Cleveland started on his
second fishing trip in North Carolina
waters avrived,atMorehead or rather anch
ored off Fort Macon in sight of that
place. This was about 11 o'clock in the
morning. That afternoon about three
o'clock, she went off presuma
bly for a trolling trip, i,eturued. in an
hor or two anq anchored at the same
place remaining all night and leaving
yesterday morning it sunrise.
It being known that Cltveland had
been aboard this boat it was taken
for granted he was there still and
telegrams were sent out to several
papers accordingly. In tact, s qme one
qn the Violet, "a-fat and handsome per
sqn," was considered to be Cleveland.
Pilot reported that they observed this
gentleman "while the steamer was out
trolling, pulling up the Spanish mackerel
and blue fish as fast as he could throw out
his lines.''
Bu,t the President was not there at all !
The fat and handsome" gentleman was
somebody else, Cleveland got off the
boat when she was at Hatteras.

The Durham Sun tells of J. S. Carr's
having ten Shropshire ewes sheered and
getting from them seven and a halt to ten
pounds of wool each' These impor
ted sheep are ot the finest breed.
To obtain such clippings as the above
must insure profit to the sheep raiser, It
pays to have good hreea 'n everything.
Xnd how incomparably better a flock of
profitable sheep is than one or two
hounds or curs that may be found on
many a farm while the sheep are absent
from them.
More sheep and fewer dogs in the
country will make a big change fjr the
better.

A GRAND PLACE.
A Partial Description of Gieno Stock
Farm, Ons'ow County.
The Episcopal excursion on the ICth
inst. gave quite a number of New
Bernians their first trip down New River
and their first visit to the grand stock
farm of President Thos. A. Mclntyre, of
the W. N. & N. R lilroad, tliat region liav-
ing at quite a recent date first been made
easily accemble from New Berne by the
opening of the railroad and the running
of a steamer on the river in connection
with the road.
New river is really more of an estuary
than a river proper. Seven miles above
Jacksonville is as high as it can be navi
gated by land it Is only four miles from
Jacksonville to the highest navigable
point.
lhe view of tbe New river at Jackson
ville does not begin to give a fair idea of
that stream. It is quite narrow there but
it quickly widens out below, and at
President Mclntyre's farm is betwe. n ona
and two miles wide. It annears theiw
pretty much as- ttv Neuse does at New
Rerna, and. at the portion called Stone's
bay, 31 miles below Jacksonville, it is a
good three miles wide. It Is often called
five miles, but we are informed by those
familiar with the river that the latter is
nearer the correct figure. Near the mouth
of this river grow oysters which many de
clare are the finest in the world, and
fish are of the finest flavor.
The scenery, ftlqng the rvr 1 quite
uiUy, and at ono of the most desirable
sites throughout its whole length lies the
magnificent farm and elegant winter home
of Mr. Thos. A. Mclutyre, who is now in
New York.
The farm is on the southern bank. It
has, in all, 3000 acres, four hundred; of
which are in cultivation. By water It la
ten. rqilea from Jacksonville, the nearest
point on the W. N. & N. Railroad acces
sible in that way; by land it is five miles
to the nearet-t station, Verona.
To a passer on the river tle farm shows
but little, because, a. skjirt of woods has
been left along the shore which partially
hides even the nearest buildings.
A pier with a warehouse on the end
juts out from the landiug to deep water.
The land here is considerably higher than
the river, A road with proper slope
leads to the high level ground above and
then on to the buildings, while strong
rustic steps are at the right for those who
choose to use them in making tha as
cent.
The lo,Jge qr residence of Mr. Mclntyre
and family is at the right a few hundred
feet back from the river, near enough to
give a view of it through the trees and
get the breeze from it. The building is
unique, pretty and well designed, and it is
not in any field, neither is It erffd:, it is
right in tlie wodii wth the exception of
clearing enough around it to give a
medium sized yard. The family being
absent, the main portion of the house was
closed, but the conservatory with its choice
and rare plants was thrown open to the
visitors.
A little further hatk from the river and
qq tbe opposite side of the road is the
home of the superintendent, Mr. I.. A.
Guy and bis family, a commodious place
in keeping with the character of the
farm.
A little further on straight ahoad lie
the poultry y&rd, barns, stables etc.
There are eight roomy, well planned
stock-barns, one being devoted to the
cattle, the others to the horses, the stalls
of the high bred ones being labelled in
large printed cards with the name and
pedigree of the animal that occupies
each. The beautiful standard-bred Ken
tucky stallion Wiseman, with Abdallab
and Hambletoniao blood flowing in his
veins is a magnificent animal, He was
at the last East Carqlina Fair; there are
also four thoroughbred mares of as fine
pedigrees as can be obtained. The work
horses of the farm are choice ones of their
kind.
Mr. Mclntyre is breeding a superior
strain of mules, first class animals on
each side being selected. The sire is tbe
unusually fine jack, Monarchy ane of tbe
best in the South,
We can see no reason why the raising
of horses and mules should not become a
prominent industry with us, and a stop
thus be put to the importation of so many
Kentucky or more distantly raised ones.
Wfh, the exception of two grade Jer
seys, all ot the cattle on the farm are
thoroughbred Holsteins and are perfect
beauties.
The poultry yards are divided off by
wire fences. Besides the chickens a good
number of turkeys and ducks are being
raised. - beautiful nock of Pekins and a
tew wild geese were within a wire fence
enclosure which extends well out into the
river, and on the land takes in a deep
ravine in which the water fowl and deer
have their habitation.
A rustic bridge witn seats at tbe cen
ter extends from one side of the ravine to
to the other and on the farther side is an
excellent bowling alley and a lawn tennis
court.
rut while we are speaking of the
' birds" we must not forget the pheasant.
Tbey are few in number as yet, only a
trio tor breeding purposes, but the supply
will soon I iucreased. About forty of
the eggs are now in setting under hens.
The pheasants are a, highly esteemed game
bird in Europe, and we understand Mr.
Molntyre intends to turn some ol those he
raises loose in the forests around him.
About three hundred yards from the
farm buildings is the track, a well made
and perfecty kept one on which the horses
are practiced. It is a half-mile one, about
sixty feet ia width, with a judge's stand
equal to those at fairs.
The aoove win give some idea 01 the
farm and the progressive farming that is
being carried on there. It is well worth
while to pav a visit to it.
We found at the farm, Mr. D. A. Wil
ley, staff correspondent of the Manufac
turers Record and the Southern States of
Baltimore. He had been spending a
couple ot days at the farm, tq gather
matter toy publication in these maga
zines., ffe left at the same time the pic
nic party did to continue his trip to other
places. He will close bis tour at Mont
gomery, Alabama.
Mr. Willey had already visited quite ex
tensively in our State, and had it in his
mind to come to New Berne and visit our
truck farms especially Hack burn &
Willett's and other industries qf this
place. He had already visited a number
qf places aqd he pronounces Eastern
jfqrth Carolina, from Wilmington to the
northern line, one of tbe finest places in
j the United States for raising vegetables
ana suiamruus.
MILITARY ENCAMPMENT.
The Third and Fenrth Rerlaients U
Cam at Morhead.
Governor Carr bas decided that the
Military Encampment of the Third and
Fourth regiments must be at Morebead
City this year.
He does not state the exact date, but
they will go there early i. July.
This is as it should be.
Morebead spent considerabla monev
- -4
for the encampment last year, for which
she received no renummeration, and the
boys like it best there anyway..
Of course a military encampment
means work for the regiments, but there
will be a few momenta of leisure, and, if
for no other cause, this alone would
place Morebead far above any other place
in the State. Naturally it is not surpass
ed by any resort on the Atlantic coast
it is of the rarest occurrence that refresh
ing becezes do not blow from the ocean,
and a finer harbor for sailing, fishing and
hashing is unknown.
The Episcopal Pieaie.
The Episcopal 8aoday school picnic
left by special train Wednesday morning,
directly after the regular passenger of the
W. N. & N. road.
The front cars were devoted to tbe
Sunday School children and their teach
er, the rar to the other excursionists,
while a baggage car in tbe middle carried
an ample supply of edibles.
It reached Jacksonville in good time,
and the prog rim me was carried out
with much enjoyment to the entire crowds
At Jacksonville, all embarked on the
steamer Geo. D. Purdy, Captain
Taylor, which, runt in connection with
tle railroad. The raptsin and his men
showed commendable courtesy in seeking
the pleasure of all on board. 1
1 he steamer has more seating capicity
than her appearence indicates, and the
two hundred picnicers had ample room
to !c comfortably seated or to move free
ly about in any part of the boat.
Mr. Mclntyre's farm lies about ten
miles below Jacksonville by water it
was soon reached, and the pleasure seek-
trs landed for dinner.
It was prepared and partaken of in tbe
natural nativs-torest grove that lies in
front of Mr. Mclntyre's lodge on the high
bluff overlooking the river. A long flight
of attractively constructed steps led from
the landing to the top.
, was an admirable place lor the din
ner, the. trees gave perfect shade and yet
were far enough apart not to interfere
with the building of the table. There
was no undergrowth to give anj annoy
ance, and the ground was well covered
with clean dry pine Btraw and oak leaves
so that all who chose could seat them
selves on it and partake of dinner, tbus
ftom wooden plates, a plentiful supply
of which had been taken alongt and more
of the picnicers in groups with filled
plates ate their dinners thus, than there
did at the tables.
The spacious grouads and many at
tractions, the poultry, the horses, and
colts, (of which there are over half a
hundred) the cattle, the deer, the phea
sants, the dogs, the numerous and spa
cious barn buildinss, the race track and
the other general arrangements ol the
farm, as far as tbey could be observed in
so brief a time held the delighted attent
ion of tbe visitors until three o'clock in
the afternoon, two hours later than it was
planned to leave there,
This made it so, late that tbe ocean was
not quite reached, the steamer came with
in four miles ot it however, and then the
homeward journey began.
The parry arrived home at 8 o'clock
precisely, after having enjoyed one of tbe
most variod excursions that ever falls to
the lot of a picnic party. They had a
thirty-eight mile trip by rail, a twenty
ne mile trip by steamer on a lovely
river with a cool refreshing breeze
blowing, spent several hours
ashore in great enjoyment, and returned
wishing only that the day had been
longer.
No better a trip could have been
planned and none could bare passed off
wiu Digner sautoacuoa man 11 aiu.
"Misery Loves Company."
It would seem from an incident that
came under tbe observation of one of our
citizens the above old adage holds true
with animals as well as members of tbe
human family.
Tbe gentU man saw one of the newly
muzzled dogs that seemed to be very
much cast down thereat, moving along
with bowed head and drooping tail until
presently seeing two other dogs be went
un to tbem and found they were in the
same fix he was.
Then seemed to come tbe spent
of his dreams. He brightened up, elev
ated his head, gave his tail the accus
tomed curl and seemed to recover the
spirit that had temporarily forsaken
him.
A Small Fire.
Wednesday night at a quarter past IS
o'clock, an alarm of fire was sent in from
box 56, at the corner of South Front and
Middle Sts.
Tbe bakery of Messrs. Locus &, Lewis
was iliund to be ou fire in the front por
tion of the building where the goods,
provisions, etc , were stored.
Hj d rants were turned on quickly and
in a very short while it was under con-
troll. Tbe stock was damaged prob
ably about $300, and tbe building slight.
ly. The insurance is $1,000, carried by
Mr. W. G. Brinson. The alarm was sent
in by watchman Tilman and the fire Com
panies quickly responded and did good
service, te water works proving effective.
Two of tbe young firemen, Messrs.Geo.
Roberts and Albert Bangert were slightly
nurt, but we are glad say not seriously.
The Women Were Bhjht
The following paragraph from the Wil
mington Star is most sensible, and at this
juncture, most apropos.
"A strike was neaaea on in some
Maryland coal mines the other day by
tbe wives of tbe miners who held a meet
ing and insisted that their husbands would
show more lead-mule sense by striking to
work and taking care ot their families than
by listening to tbe walking delegates
trom umo. 1 nc Maryland miners con
eluded that their wives were level-headed
and stuck-
There are many thousands of deserving
people wno would gladly accept tbe op
portunity 01 getting meat and bread tor
their wives and little ones, these people
want to throw away. As things now he
should be happy who can obtain work
that will keen off suffering.
New Bern aad Beaufort Base Ball.
The base ball game between the teams
of New Bern and Beaufort took place
Wednesday at the latter place.
The game was called off on account of
the New Bern boys having to stop before
it was concluded. Tbe reason tbey had
to quit was that Mr. Jack Neal, catcher
f.ite New Bern team, wu mawir r
the excursion train, and he bad to leave
to get his engine in readiness for the re
turn. Tbe New Bern boys having to quit gave
the game to the Beaufort team, but the
score was tweve to four in favor of tbe
New Bern team. Only five innings had
been played when tbe game w as called off.
There U dissatisfaction 01 the part of
tbe New Bern team on account of Mot
her of the Beaufort team objecting to de
cisions of tbe umpire. Such interrsptions
are strictly against the roles aod ia a pno
feMiooal team it would subject tbe offen
der to a fine.
About five hundred people witnessed .
tbe game, many of these were members of
the picnic party and visitors frorr More
head. Ths Methodist Picnic.
The pionlc ol Centenary M. E. Sunday
school, which went to Morehead Thursday
is considered tlie greatest tliat ever left -
New Berne. There were alout 600 peo
ple along.
Dinner was partaken of in the immeMe .
diningroom ot the Atlantic Hotel which
was sufficiently large for tbe purpose.
Mr. Perry, the proprietor, with thai
geniality so characteristic of him, which
did so much last year to bring the hotel
to its presant popularity, threw Its doot
open to the excursionist and bade them '
make themselves at home; the servants CtT
the hotel busied themselves making every
thing as pleasant as if tbey had been guests
of tbe hotel. . -
A large number of the picnicers went
over to Beaufort to witness the bail gamer
others went to the fort, tbe banks, out
sailing, eto simply for pleasure. Tbey
all report having had a good time..
Struck la ths Eye.
Miss Martha Thomas, daughter of Mr.
Lon Thomas, of BeanUbrt, met with a
painful accident while the base ball game
was in progress there. Site was viewing
the game from the upstairs window of the
school house when a foul ball flew to
where she was and struck her in the eye.
The eye and a portion of the noes was
badly bruised but about an hour afterward
the indications were that no serious result
would follow.
