VASSAR GRADUATED
ACOLORED WOMAN
She Was Young Bostonian
Who Was an Acknowl-
edged Belle. . .-,..
COLLEGE EOIROLEs SHOCKED.
Reuorts That Her Room Mate Found Her
Out and She Confessed to Professor
Her Life at Home.
PARLIAMENTARY n

roUGHKEkRsIB, N. Z, Aug. 16.-
Vassar College and Poughkeepsie
society circles are much exercised
over story that one of the graduates
OF the institution last June was a sol-
ored woman.
She came, it is said, from Boston,
but the faculty is carefully guarding
her identity. The only mem bers Of
the class Of '97 from Boston was Anita
Florence Hemmings. and il is now re-
called that Boston paper in comnen-
ting on the graduation OF a colored
man, Fred .Hemmings, from the
Massachusetts Institute OF Teohnolo-
gY, stated that he had q sister at Vas
sar.
1t is claimed that the young woman
with the faculty's aid, kept her secret
so well that not until weeks after her
graduation did it become known that
the beautiful brunette" as sho was
called, was actually q member OF the
colored race.
She is said to have communicated
that fact to professor on the eve Of
her leaving here. 1t il said that the
faculty after deliberating on her case
decided that they could not do other
wise than grant her diploma mas
much as she had satisfactorily cOm-
pleted the four years regular course.
Whatever the young woman's name
was she was an acknowledged belle and
quite popular. Her complexion was
rich and beautiful, and she was sup
posed by every one to be a member of
a t1ne old New England family. Her
hair was black and straight, and her
eyes dark and brilliant. Her manners,
carriage and speech were those of q
highly refined woman. She was pres
ent at the Founders Day, Philalethian
Day and day exercises.
COMPANION FOUND HER OUT.
But there is another curious story
connected with her. Her identity is
said TO have been discovered firss by her
roommate during the::" beautiful bru-
| nette's" senior year, The girls state
ents about her relatives and their
stylish manner of life led her ROOM
| mate to repeat them to her father. a
business man. He became interested
and caused inquiry to be made in Bos-
| ton. He learned that the weman's
father was a respectable colored man
| who owned a small estate.
The story leaked out, and, unable to
bear gossip, it i said, the colored girl
told one of the professors the truth.
She was a woman and she pleaded so
| elOquently with President Taylor, who
is also klnd-hearted. that the whole
| affair was hushed up and the young
woman allowed to graduate.
Treasurer Dean, of the college, en-
phatically denies that a colored wo-
man graduated this year, but the re-
ports about her are rife, nothwith-
| standing.

MUST OUT 1T OPT
The Surgeons So Decide Relative to Rev.
Brownies Arm-The Elder Rejects
the PrOposit ion-What Will
the End Be2

Rev. w. W. Browne, Grand Worthy
Master of the True Reformers is very
uneasy at the present time due, to the
unfavorable condition of his health.
Not long since he was troubled with
unsightly growths in his right arm
which were cut out by the veteran
surgeon" and physician, DR.. George
Ross.
The arm apparently improved and
then got worse. Rev. Browne went
again to see DIR Ross, who took him to
DR. Hunter Mcguire. After an ex-
animation, they decided that the arm
should be cut OF below the shoulder in
order to save his life.
Rev. Browne was much disgusted
and did not go to DIR. Ross again. lie
went to see DIR. George Ben johnson,
who also said the arm would have to
be amputated.
The growth seems to be Of cancer
Gus nature.
Learning OF botanist in Winches-
ter, Va, Rev. Brown suddenly disap-
peared and was heard from there.
He declined to divulge his name un-
til the treatment cured him of his all
ment. He has returned to the city
this week and seems determined not
to lose his arm. However, the physi-
clans here are Satisfied that not t.
take it off will cost him his life.

Whereas, the outlook for Republi-
can success in this state il such as to

and prepare for a political contest,
and
Whereas, it has been demonstrated
that political inactivity tends to dis
integrste the ran. and file of the or

ficiency, and
Whereas, reorganization and meet
ing the enemy in n combat based upon
principle and an appeal to the better
nature Of the people have been crown
ed with success in such hopslessly
democratic states as Maryland, Ken
tucky, West Virginia and North Caro-
lima, ana
Whereas, the wisdom and peculiar
fitness OF Col William Lamb, our
state chairman, for the position which
hs now occupies, and his sterling quail
tiles as a citizen and a gentleman have
won the confidence OF the people.
Therefore. be it

office John 5. Bethel, the promise ap-
pointee to the office of Collector Of
Customs; in preferring groundless
charges against our gallant aud patri-
otic state chairman, which while false
would not justify his removal from Of

Waddill, their actions SAVIOR strongly
Of his encouragement and bear marks
of his drafting.
Resolved 4th, that thesaforeeaid spe-
cific actions are against the wills and
