Last Friday evening- a. very large percentage of the adult population of tins city and numerous juven iles assembled at tie opera, house to witness tie gradnaring exercises of tie High school class of 95 of tie Isorii Platte public schools. In lie center opening of tie stage was tie word radafim, beauti fully arranged in fiowers. Tie firs torder upon tie program was a selection by tie Gordon cor net band, at tie concluding strains of which promptly came marching in tie lucky thirteen, accompanied by a "mascot" to break tie possible ill-luck wiici migit arise, in tiis tie class showed itself to be more superstitions than Gov. Holcomb, who fust accepted an Iranarary membership in a Thirteen club organization in iSew xoce: city. About tie only one ot tie number who had no fear upon tie eubject was Join L.. Dick, tie only male member of tie class, wio looked Eke one lone strawberry in a whole pailful of cream amidst this galaxy of femininity. He. carried in his left Test pocket the left hind leg of a blind rabbit which had been killed by a colored mn-n in a graveyard at twelve o'clock: at nijrhr durinsr tie dark of tie moon. This fetish rendered him invincible. A brief and appropriate invoca tion by Rev. W. E. Hardaway was reverently received by the assemb lage. C L. Adams then followed with a vocal solo whici-was listened to with close attention and liberally applauded at its conclusion. Pos sessed of ar sympathetic pleasing baritone voice tie song was ren dered in a manner calculated to' do credit to tie singer. "Cui Bono" was tie topic selected by Minnie Sorensonrf or tie saluta tory, and by ier hancHins of tie subject sie no doubt convinced ier hearers fiat life was indeed worth living. Jessie "M. Bratt next - foli&wed with "No Hose can Fold Itself into a Bud again.' Sie took tie posi tion that even if ft were possible to accomplish such, n frp7l- of nature it would fee undesirable to do so, and sie stoutly maintained tie correctness of this position- "The Dignity of Labor" was then rendered by Gertrude''" Baker in a f clear, fern and srronsr voice. Aside from the able manner in which she handled her subiect tie splendid elocutionary manner in which it was delivered caused many people to consider this the gem of the evening. Thea M. Hansen next followed with "Step by Step, and demon strated that it was not t meteoric actions that the worldowes its advancement- but to patient, persist ent, plodding" methods to reach an ending' bj which progress is made. '-Human Desires" was then treat ed by Gertrude C Grady in a man ner very creditable to herself and friends, her discourse evidencing considerable thought and careful research. John Lf. Dick then gave a moum- ff-il monedram apoa '-The Coming' Storm." which woeM be considered as pleasingly proper by pessimistic popuiistics- Despite the clouded glass through which the speaker appeared to look at upon life, his subject "was well treated from that standpoint, and only evidenced his ability-to argue like a lawyer from either side of a proposition- Prof. EL A. Garlichs next gave 2. splendid -solo upon the violin which marks him as a master of the re sonant intestine of the deceased feline. Miss Lizzie Burke accom panied him upas the piano in a first class manner. "Rust" -was the title of the next address by Gerta' EBne. and she treated her subject in a manner the very opposite from what its name would indicate, thus effectually proving" that there is nothing- in a name. Francis T. McN amara then treat ed ''Character7 in a manner which showed a proper conception of her subject, and evinced a line of thought in sympathy with that of an od Scotch writer upon the hu man character. She cleverelv marked the dnrerence between char acter and reputation. "Take not Authority for Truth, but Truth for Authority," was the title of the address by Charlotte I. Osgood. The speaker weH demon strated that the latter part of the title was the correct theory for human action. Mrs. J. H. Hershey foliawed with a vocal solo which was weS. appre ciated, as was evidenced bv the hearty applause given at its close Possessed of a smooth, ..mellow ' voice, the singer is a great favorite with jSTarth Platte people, and it is a general regret fast her residence will not permit them the opportun ity of more frequently hezring; her. "The Majesty dr'the I,aw" was then treated iha masterful manner by ellie 5L Grace, and her effort was rather' in the nature of an optimistic reply to "The Coming Storm" which incongruously .had preceded: Tt was a bright presen tation or human action, and is more probably the correct view of the situation. Gertfn.de J. Friend then handled "The Verb To Be'T in all its various moods, and she did herself proud in the effort. She conclu sively established that it was folly to boast of past or future action, but to live nd act creditably in the present the past would become historical, the future-Tnore or less experimental. "Americanism" was the title ; under which Eva J. Fen wick de- j liyereda number of pleasant pat riotic platitudes, showing" that she had an idea of the theory of our jrovemment- "STethow widely dif-fp-rent, in numerous mstances,, is the practice from the theory. In this article it is unnecessary to cite cases of legislative action which overthrow her idea that no law can be enacted without the consent of the people; yet the past and current history of America teem with such. The valedictory "Fin de Siecle," by Clara Mabel McNamara was a crisp bright presentation of what we may expect when the new woman reaches the ultimatum of her ambition. Should the valedic torian be blessed with the sight of a seer some startling: changes may be anticipatai ere the close of the Twentieth century Prior to the presentation of the diplomas the Rev. D. Z. Foulk de livered a pleasing homily to the young" people who rrejust starting out in life to hew out k career for themselves, after whiajj. the "much prized parchments, were given to the lucky thirteen. - The cornet band theireudered a pleasinglfttlevertureafterhich the Juniors, who were seated in-the east gallery, as near as ' the writer could understand it, grot off their class yeG as follows: "5Tffti f eHovrs. liave crossed4 tfce- Styx.

Pate. A STUDY: ET BTtriCST. A recent Sew York paper says: "It was not because of aa unusual crowd on the grounds that the opening- performance of "Black America was a success yesterday. The crowd was not a large one. The 4,000 persons present found, seats so easily that the hotsse seemed scarcely fuH. It was not because ot the excellence of the pro gramme throughout that it was so great a success. Nevertheless, the perSormance was a decided success. In spite of the weather, which seemed pro pitious in the morning and: was anything- else in the afternoon and evening: in spite of the drawbacks of distance and of a kind of novelty that the public is not accustomed to, the initial performance of the great show at Ambrose Park was a remarkable success for several reasons. The show is an exposition, of the Me and the manners of the negroes There is a cotton field in actual bloom on the grounds? there is a cotton gin and press in actual operation there. In the arena per- lormance mere is tne singing ot more than 300 negroes, and beyond question this- chorus is one of the -a. j great features of the show. The 1 the Doflsr. :LOW:PKIGHS. uotnmg G HOUSE, Props. attended to. harmonT" and. rhythm of their music is remarkable. Eves when a chorus sings, as sometimes it des in this show, without leader and without accompaniment, these is, not the slightest perceptible bceak; in the now of the mssic aad sat a voice rings false in the hanaoay. Mme. Flower's, the prima doaea and some of the other voices in the choree axe womierf nlly clear aad true. There is scarcely a greater treat witin reach for lowers of -sead! mtssic than this. Closely akin to this is some re markable dancing. Aay pessaa w6o is old eaoegh to have lived obi a Southern plantation, in slavery j days knows that the "nagger dase- ing, so called, of the variety stage is the merest travesty on the real dancing' of the real negro of tfae plantatiioa. In "Black Ameriear the gen'ttiae thing may fee seen and it is SO' tar sttaerior to that of the: ' varietv perforsiers that it was r-eted vesierdaT with storms e appiaBse. The negroes fence aa perfect time, either to the m-ssic of the band or to the "patting Jufe-vT of their fellows, or without auay ggadnnce, as the singers sing, ia absolutely perfect time. Tltree of them dance together a los- sail in tricate measure, so that neither she eve nor the ear can detect a asce aiaosg' them- A rcoTABLH example of a big seseie predaced by small mean- is mew& in the fact that lead pencil users-, have whittled away sereral feig; aae ests of cedar trees in Europe, and! the supply of wood suitable fix-lead pencils is practically exhaasted ias the Old World.
