Social Centers.

Next to the personal influence exerted
by noble character comes the rare in
fuence exerted by a home which is a real
social center. There are unfortunately
few such in this country so far. There
might be one or more in every farm
neighborhood even. The first requisite
would be single family with little in
terest in the elevation and refinement of
those about them.
There are families in every village. in
every farm community. that are superior
TO those about them in wealth and intel
ligence. Instead of trying to share their
good intellectual fortune with their
neighbors they usually hold off and sneer
at those neighbors. They wrap them
selves in sort of intellectual or pluto
cratic isolation and coddle themselves
with the belief that they are better than
other people.
Superior advantages mean far greater
obligations. The family of cultivation
ought to establish itself as the center
from which should flow light Of intel
hgence. polished manners and refine
ment. It should gather about it period
ically the less favored people of the
neighborhood for social and intellectual
recreation. Elegance of manner, refine
ment and aspiration are catching; moth
ing is more so. At the neighborhood So
cial center all the questions of the day
should be discussed. It takes little ef-
fort to interest even the illiterate In the
burning topics of the closing days of the
nineteenth century. The best and latest
productions in literature might also be
brought forward, and music should be
introduced. People should be encour-
aged to talk informally on subjects Of
general interest. Some of the wisest and
most entertaining takers are those who
do not know correct grammar. Their
strong, original thought is 80 instructive
as to belittle grammar.
At the same time the brightest, most
polished wits available should be induced
to unmask their batteries for these neigh
borhood occasions. A hundred persons
may be walked and inspired in single
evening. Such social center would be
In America more even than the old
French salon was, for it would polish
splendid rough diamonds and thrill in
spire and cultivate the common people.
Graceful personal courtesy and kindli-
ness and power of expressing in good
language the thoughts and feelings are
greatly needed among our American
people. To the young especially the So
cial center would be invaluable.

"Unemployed" Specimens.

Those alleged unemployed" men who
raided various places in which city work
was progressing in Cleveland the other
day showed themselves in about as mean
light as human nature often exhibits
itself in. Contractors on the works were
hiring men, 80 the raiders claimed, at rs
cents day because of their necessities
and putting them at labor on the city's
works. The raiding mob met in pub
lie square, made inflammatory speeches
and then forced the rs cent day men to
quit work because they were not getting
higher wages. Did the mob give these
poor fellows higher wsges1 Did they
feed and clothe the families of the men
whom they forced away from their taski
Not they. Better children should starve
than that they should be fed and CON-
fortably fed on 70 cents a day. Such
was the logic of this noble army Of ''un-
employed"
II may have been true that the con-
tractors were doing what the mob lead
ers said. But the way to right the wrong
was scarcely to take away the bread
from those whose necessities forced them
to accept the low wage. No man will
work for rs cents day If he can help it.
The raiders would have been in far bet
ter business If they themselves had been
working for 75 cents day than in mob
bing and driving away from their en-
ployment those to whom that money or
starvation was the alternative. Some
more conduct of this sort, some more i'll
advised strikes, and the public will be
sick of hearing of the wrongs of the la
boring class for generation to come.

There is no word whose meaning is
more commonly misunderstood than
"creole." 1t is not unusual for north
ern person to look on creole as a per-
son with an infusion of negro blood.
The fact is that the creole is one of the
bluest blooded people on this continent.
He is of mixed French and Spanish par
entage, being descended from the French
and Spanish, who first peopled Louisi-
ana. Many of them were of noble birth,
and all possessed unusual culture and
refinement.

How many American boys and girls
know where Molly Pitcher, the revolu-
tionary heroine, is buried? Probably not
many grown people know. Her bones
rest in Carlisle, Pa. and the citizens of
that place have erected monument to
her. Her real name was Mollie McCau-
ley, and she died at Carlisle in 1888, aged
70 years.

TRINITY COLLEGES COMMENCEMENT.

WAN Law ~ Il
The annual commencement of
Trinity College is over and the stu
dents return whence they came. 1t
has been the most successful ami
versary the college has ever held.
The senior speaking yesterday while
not distinguished for any unusual
brilliancy was very enjoyable, the
Junior and sophomore OratOrical con-
tests were good and the freshman
contest in defamation was heard
with interest.
The sermon of Rev. DR.. Samuel A.
Steel was one Of the finest it has ever
been our pleasure to hear anywhere.
1t was grand, eloquent, superb: his
audience was charmed. Many think
it was the finest baccalaurcatc ser
mon ever preached in North Caro-
lima. 1t Will certainly stand out as
the most prominent feature in a very
interesting commencement.
In the afternoon of the same day
Rev. DR.. W. H.. Mllburn, the ''Blind
Man Eloquent" who has been chap
lain of the congress for fifty wears.
delivered the annual address on the
Life and Character of Richard
Brinsley Sheridan His p~rotrayal
of the erratic career of EngIand's
great orator and wit. and his draw
ing from the life a moral for young
men we're good.
The address was not enjoyed by
some who knew nothing Of the life
Of the great Englishman, and who
wanted to hear an address more up
to date" But to those who knew
something of the unique and brilliant
genius the address was peculiarly
entertaining.
Wednesday evening Mr. Is. H..
Palmer, q successful lawyer Of Lake
City, Florida, delivered the address

many compliments.
