SHERMAN, TEX, june s.--The opera
house was well filed to-day with an audi
ence representative OF the best element Of
Sherman society, to listen TO the grsdu
ating exercises Of the North Texas Female
college. The literary address by DR.
McAnnally Of st. Louis was a gem
and enchanted the attention Of his
auditors from beginning TO end 1t was
powerful plea for moral as well as in
tellectual culture. Seldom has it been
the good fortune Of Sherman audience
TO listen to a finer discourse. The Ian.
guage was lofty and the thought was
grand. At times the eloquent doctor
INDUCED in vein of humor that made
his hearers "smile audibly;" again he
reused their Indignation by vehement
denGnciation Of the follies and sins OF
the day; another time he would almost
melt them 20 tears by some pathetic
touch
Leaving out minor features, after DR..
McAnnally's address, the grand event OF
the day was the graduation of the two
young ladies who had worthily com
pleted the curriculum that entitled
them to the honorable degree Of mistress
Of arts. They were:
Miss Nora Dillingham; of Sherman, and
Miss Lavinia Campbell of Meridian
Miss DilliDgham's theme was, "Gather-
ing summer driitwood to make a winter
fire." and right well did she handle this
suggestive subject Miss Campbell de-
liyered beautiful Worded vaiedictory
Both young ladies were then handed their
diplomas by DR.. McAnnally, who made a
graceful little speech Of presentation.
Next came the announcement of prizes
as follows: Trustees medal for deport-
ment, scholarship and punctuality, Miss
Kate Scale Of BraZos county.
Curator's medal for best composition,
Miss Eula Gunter of Sherman.
Presidents medal to young lady exer-
cising highest moral influence, Miss Bees
sic Trent of Ocmulgee, l. I.
Medal fer neatness, Miss Willie B.
Traynham Of Chapel Hill.
Before the audience was dismissed Rev.
7. Il. Sherwood read report from the
board Of curators, announcing the re-
election Of Judge Onins to the presidency
of the college and warmly indorsing his
management of the institution. Thus
closes worthily and happily another year
In the history of this school-a year of
successful work in the noble cause of
education.
A SERIOUS CHARGE.
This afternoon the pretty young wife
OF IL. r. Abel, well-digger who lives
near the oil mills, made a charge against
Tom Joiner, section boss on the Texas &
Pacific road, accusing him OF attempting
an outrage on her person on the
3lst of last month. She says
that Joiner came to her house during the
absence Of her husband, and after making
insulting propositions, caught hold of her
and threw her to the floor. Her screams
and those Of little four-year-old daugh-
ter frightened the fellow SO that
he abandoned his atrocious design
and left the place, after threatening
TO XIII her II she dared to tell.
This threat kept her silenttill Friday last,
when she could no longer endure to Keep
IL hid from her husband. In the mean
time Joiner had disappeared, butlreturned
to the city to-day, whereupon, as above
stated, Mrs. Abel and her husband went
before Justice Henkle and swore to a
complaint against him. A warrant was
issued for his arrest.
