 Demopolis, June 6.-(Special)-T Marengo Military academy closed it's session Friday night with appropriate exercises.

He has de- cided to continue in charge of the acad- emy, much to the pleasure of patrons and trustees.

C.sCald- well. The graduating exercises consist ed of "An Evening With Greece" All the essays were on some subject pertain ing to Greece. Then came a Greek drill, '"The Vestal Virgins" by the nine young ladies of the graduating class. This was pronounced the best thing of the kind ever seen. It was not only pleasing, but was an intellectual treat.

4 New Thing in Education.

In establishing a correlated system of schools and colleges the Randolph Macon board of trustees have shown wise fore sight and given an example worthy of attention. The four institutions of the board, banded together with combined resources approximatlng three-quarters of a million dollars, offer unique advant- ages for education both to young mem and women under guarantees of per- manence, especially valuable in these times when so many schools are falling. The newest and possibly the best of these institutions Is the Randolph-M Macon Wom- ans college, advertised elsewhere. The purpose of the board is to establish a college where our young women may ob- tain an education equal to that given in our best colleges for young men, and unI der environments in harmony with southern ideas of womanhood; where the dignity and strength of fully develop cd faculties and the charm of the hlgh ghest literary culture may be acquired by our daughters without loss of woman's crowning glory, her gentleness and grace.

WHAT'S THE CHANCE2
Will Brmingham's Name Appear on the Bow
 of a Man-of-War. >ss

At recent meeting of the Commercial club a resolution was offered by MT. B. Steiner requesting Secretary Herbert to name one of the new war cruisers after Birmingham.
 The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald gives out the follow ing information relative to the selection of names:
 Secretary Herbert will soon take up the question of selecting names for the gunboats and torpedo boats to be launch- ed in the fall. Also, in anticipation of the authorization of battleships several con-
 gressional delegations have recommended that the names of their respective states be selected for one of the vessels of this type. The present secretary of the navy, however, will hardly chr.sten any of thd battleships to be authorized at this ses- sion, unless, as in the case of the Kear- sarge and the Kentucky he names them when their keels are laid down. Albany will be disappointed at the fail- ure of congress to authorize the construc4 tion of cruiser at this session of cons gress Senator Hill several months ago made strong recommendation to the navy department that a vessel be named
 the Albany, but unfortunately there Is nd vessel sufficiently large to which the
 name can be applied. Under the law bat tleships shall be named for states; cruis- CTS for large cities; gunboats for small cities, and torpedo boats in honor of dis- tinguished characters in the nations his- tory.
 American Names Preferred. "The department has an ample number of names suggested for the six gunboats
 under construction, such cities as Chat tanooga, Wheeling, Kenesaw, Blrmlng-
 ham, Germantown, Chelsea, Lexington, Gloucester, Tacoma, Bridgeport, Vicks-
 burg, New Bedford, New London, Mari
 etta and Allegheny being asplrants for the honor. There is good reason to be- lieve that Secretary Herbert desires to select purely American names, such as Chattanooga, Kenesaw, Marietta, Ale- gheny and Tacoma.
 "The only difficulty that will be expe- rienced in selecting names for the torpe-
 do boats will be to make choice among the
 many. Those which meet with the most
 favor at the department are the names of
 naval heroes, such as Jones of Bonhomme
 Richard fame, Lawrence of the Chesa- peake; Perry, hero of Lake Erie; Porter
 of the Essex, Farragut of the Hartford
 and WinsloW of the Kearsarge. Names
 of scientists, of statesmen and of others
 who gained claim to recognition at the
 hands of a grateful country by their deeds
 will also be considered"

 Last Monday night some one entered MT. Henry Judy's house and assaulted his two sisters. The night was dark and rainy, but they thought they recognized Rapler Adams, colored, a cook in the en- gineer camp of the $. A. & G.. R. R. Tuesday he was tried before Notary Yar- brough and his bond fixed at s100, which was readily made. Tuesday night some parties in buggy drove near the cooks tent and fired six loads of buckshot through it. The shot passed through a tent where several white members of the corps were sleeping. We trust that both offenses will be sifted thoroughly and the guilty parties punished to the extent of the law.

 The Charming Mother in the White House.
 When the White House children want to play they do not have to be hurried off to another part of the house for fear of disturbing their mother or giving her a headache. Mrs. Cleveland is not that kind of woman. Her strong, perfect physical health and absence of harass- ing nerves makes 1t an absolute pleasure for her to have the children play about her as much of the time as can be possi- bly spared for this amusement.
 To the cares of housekeeping Mrs. Cleveland gives scant, if any, time. She has a thoroughly competent housekeep- CT and we'll trained servants, so that this is not necessary nor desirable. Nearly all of the tinY garments prepared for lit- tie Esther and Marion were fashioned before their arrival by their mothers loving hands.
 As for little Miss Ruth, the oldest daughter, every gown, skirt, and even the soft embroidered muslin caps, were made for her by her mother and grand mother Mrs. Cleveland Is fond or all manner of embroideries and fine fancy work, and is never without supply that can be picked up in those rare odd mo- ments" that come to her in the course of twenty-four hours.
 Mrs. Cleveland has many hats and bonrets. She prefers the latter, the great majority of which are ordered from an importing milllner on F street. Mrs. Cleveland often trims over her bon nets. either these of which she has tired or one that does not suit her fancy. Of ten, even upon the most important occa- sions, the bonnet worn by the presidents wife Is one she has trimmed with her own skilled fingers.
 For her gowns Mrs Cleveland no long CT goes to New York, but patronizes a Baltimore dressmaker, who comes to Washington to take the necessary measurements.

A Big Ships Close Call.
Mobile Herald.


 The big British ship George T. Hoy came near falling a prey to the treacher- ous currents that occasionally prevail at the entrance of Mobile bay. Some time during Sunday night the Hoy 1647 tons net, arrived off Fort Morgan from Cape Town, Africa, which port she left April IA. About 5 o'clock Monday morning an attempt was made to sail the vessel into the bay, but contrary currents were en- countered and the ship drifted helplessly on Dixie island, lying a short distance to the eastward of the channel, and on which several vessels have struck under similar circumstances, some of which got off with heavy expense, while the others proved total wrecks
 At one time 1t looked as if the Tow Boat association would have fat job of saving the big ship, but fortune favored the Brit isher. In the afternoon a 23-foot tide came bowling along and, lifting the ship from her dangerous position, fioated her into deep water whence she made her way safely into the bay.
