HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE

The annual commencement of the
colored High School occurred at the
Academy of Music last Wednesday
night at O'Clock, and the house was
crowded with the parents and friends
of the graduates. The stage was
prettily decorated with palms and
flowers, and the members of the gradu-
ating classes were seated upon tiers OF
seats that occupied almost the entire
stage. The Marine Band was in at
tendance and rendered a delightful
musical programme.
The exercises were opened with a
couple of selections by the orchestra,
and the invocation was pronounced by
Rev. F. ]. Grimke, pastor of the Fif.
teenth Street Presbyterian Church,
who prayed for Divine guidance in the
life of the young persons just entering
upon their career in life. Then fol-
lowed a series oforations, interspersed
by music by members of the gradu
ating class. These orationS were well
delivered and enthusiastically received
by the audience. They included "The
Chief Need of the Hour" by William
H. Beason; "How Science Teaches
Morality" by Charles w. Burrill;
"What Shall the Harvest Be?" by
Mary G. Storum, and the valedictory
by Daniel A. Brooks.
The graduates numbered about
seventy-six and presented beautiful
appearance, dressed in dainty white
organdies and ribbons. Most Of the
young men wore full dress suits, with
button hole bouquets. Commissioner
Wright conferred the diplomas, after
which trustee Bruce in neat speech,
introduced Mr.. Robert H. Terrell, who
delivered an excellent address, which
was master piece of eloquence, full
of sound talk and good advice.

destruction of Chicago, ILL.,, New York
and other eastern cities. He also pre-
dicted some time ago the recent
earthquakes. The first vision which ap-
peared to HIM was on April I6, 1884.
He saw New York trembling under In
f1uences of a supernatural kind, and ne
predicted an earthquake. On August
10, of the same year the earthquake
with its attendant catastrophies actual

earthquake was predicted six months
and eighteen days before it occurred.
In 1884 he walked four times from
PittSburg to IohnStown to warn the peo
pie of the impending food. ltoccureo

he had vision of St. Louis, where he
had preached many times. He saw ar
immense storm sweeping the place
and carrying destruction beforeit. He
saw the buildings torn to pieces ano
the dead lying in the streets. The tor
nado visited St. Louis two years and
seven months afterward.
These predictions were published ir
newspapers in different parts of the
country. DR.. Jones now predicts toi

A DEMAND FOR BRUCE.

From the indianapolis Freeman.
The delay in assigning certain first
class places, tacitly conceded to our
race, is causing little uneasiness, and
remedy is being sought to bring
about speedy results. 1t is broadly
limited that the colored mans lack ot
harmony is the root of the trouble, and
that Mr.. Mckinley is embarrassed by
the strong factional disputes in various
quarters.
To the end that harmony may be Sc
cured and consequent race success
the withdrawal of minor candidates fol
Register would be wise step. We
believe, without reservation, that Ex
Senator B. K. Bruce, is the Negro's
strongest, most popular and mos
available candidate for the exalted po
sition. President Mckinley could no
do better than to appoint him immedi
ately.

IT is RUMORED.

Arnett was cut down to his size.
There will be more trimmers down
shortly.
There will be no bible in il either.
There was one part of the bible the
Bishop overlooked.
Matthew 18TH verse 10th chapter,
"And ! will give unto Thee the keys
of the Kingdom of heaven and whatso-
ever Thou shall bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven and whatsoever Thou
shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven"
The Registership has gone never to
return again.
"And all things whatsoever We shall
ask in prayer, believing, ye shall re-
Ceive'"
The Registership was asked for in
the name of politics and his alleged
political pull with the Negro.

DRESS PARADE AT FORT WASHINGTON
To OUR GENERAL OF THE GUARD.
[By Comrade Samuel Adam Wiggins.]
He rode his steed gentle bay,
Pale as the angels wings that day,
Above his head in bright array,
"Our General of the Guard"
Clad in their golden armor, bright
With flaming falchion flashing light,
And curling plumed in helmets white,
Our angels Of the Guard"
He was comrade tried and true,
A soldier of the starry blue.
One of the nations heroes too.
Our General ofthe Guard.
About his way, in front and rear,
Troops OF celestial hosts appear,
On glorious pinions hover near,
"Our General of the Guard"
In battle hour mid deadly strife,
From fatal shot and treacherous knife,
They guarded well his precious life,
Our General of the Guard"
With golden cornets of the band,
And silver trumpets pealing grand,
The spendid Banners waving stand,
Proudly the Guard" salute.
The gallant brave, with dusky brow,
The comrade with the face of snow,
They saved Our Country" dear, we know
And Freedoms glorious Flag.
And so host of angels still,
According to His mighty will,
Cover their heads from every i'll,
Our heroes of the Guard.
And thus that lovely summer day.
The heavenly host in bright array,
The poet saw about his way,
"Our General of the Guard"

WHAT THE BEE WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW.

If liars can succeed.
Who is the most representative Ne
gro in the race?
Do we not need a new leadership?
Should apologists and trimmers be
recognized?
If it is not too early for the Negro to
kick.
If ingratitude is not disastrous to
the ungrateful?
Is not change needed in our High
and Normal schools?
Is not the tail wagging the hands?

rectors six years before the lease expired.
If the Legislature, at its next session,
should authorize new lease to be made,
that body represents the people, and they
would presumably be acting after the peo-
pie had expressed themselves. We oppose
any releasing by the Board of Directors
until they can place the proposition before
the Legislature for its approval. 1t is
the business of the Directors to manage
the property wisely, but when so impor-
tant matter as a new lease is to be en-
tered into, the law-making body of the
State ought to be asked. The Legisla.
ture of 1897 or 1899, could consider this
question, and then viii be time enough
to bind the State for thirty years-but
no longer.
The following telegram, THE FIRST

protests made, appeared in our paper

information that the release will be made
at meeting of the directors at Burhng-

In the same issue our local editor wrote:

such supreme Importance as a contract

population and enterprise so as to render
a line of transportation more and more
valuable as the years pass by; we say,
