Inc CLASS poem was lead Dy Emma
Burt and it was a beautiful blending of
fact and fancy, as it intervove the happy
incidents of school life with their plea
SAINT surroundings. Merited mention
was made of the work of the late Profess
sor Norris, so long connected with the
school.
The class prophecy was read by
Mabel e.. Davis, aud with apparent
prophetic skill she pointed ont the
paths in life that each memoer of the
class of '97 would tread. For Miss Col
son she saw a brilliant career as a lee
urer on her ~favorite theme, the advance
ment of woman. For Mr.. Davis she
pictured a beautiful rural scene, rem.
dered the more beautiful by his genius
and skill as an educated farmer. For
Miss Burt a useful life as a teacher, who
with the aid of the X rays,:would be able
to discover all the secret possibilities of
her scholars. For Mise Wallace the de
lights and honors of a brilliant musician
awaited her. For Miss Weatherby, the
role of an artist was to be the chosen
calling in which she would achieve honor
and distinction. 1t was all cleverly done
aud the future may prove it to have been
a real prophecy.
The closing essay was read by Amy d.
W~eatherby, her subject being calling
Leaves" After referring to the fact that
the leaves have a time to appear and fall,
she applied the figure to the passing
away of the great lights in the literary
world, such as Whittier, Tennyson,
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Julia Ward
Howe, with a brief comment on their
work and worth.
Albert I. Yarnall then presented the
diplomas to the members of the class,
prefacing his remarks to the class by
fitting words of appreciation for the
kindness that been shown him during his
two years in Woodstown as principal of
the academy, and the great pleasure the
work had brought him.
The exercises closed with an address
by Joel B0rton, in which he spoke of the
long history of the school, and the con
Germ of the early Friends for a guarded
education that attention should be
given to the moral as we'll as the
scholastic side of the training of the
youth. He paid a just tribute TO David
Bacon, who gave the land upon which
the academy stands, and referred to the
list Of instructors, covering a long period,
among whom he made special mention OF
the late Professor Augustus G, Norris,
who was principal of the school for
twenty seven years aud who WAS so ably
assisted by his wife, Lydia II. Norris.
Not only this community, he said, but
scattered throughout the country, are
those filling positions of honor and trust
who were trained at Bacon Academy.
The graduates were presented with
beautiful bou quets by the young lady
ushers, Misses Alice Borton, Anna
Pedrick, Anna @. Pancoast and Helen
Souder, which closed the exercises and
the graduates were warmly congratu-
lated by their many friends.

Bacon Academy commencement.

The first commencement of Bacon
Academy was held in Friends Meeting
house on Wednesday evening, a large
audience gathering to witness the gradu'
ating exercises of the class of '97
Though the Friends School in Woods
town has had a long and useful career,
it was only a few years ago that changes
were made in it's course of studies, and
this is the first class regularly grad a ted
from the school. The members of the
class were Elsie B. Wallace, Sara A.
Colson, William G. Davis, Emma Burt,
Mabel E. Davis and Amy D. W~eatherby
The exercises opened with the reading
of a Scripture selection by the principal,
Albert t. Yarnall, followed by the
presidents address, given by Elsie B.
Wallace. She recited the pleasant fea-
lures of their school days, and paid a
graceful tribute to the painstaking work
of their instructors and the careful over
sight of the school committee, and as the
class were now to bid farewell to Bacon
Academy, she spoke of the two paths
that open before every young man and
young woman, as they enter upon life,
the one leading upward, to a life of use
fulness and honor, and the other leading
downward. ending often in shame and
misery. She urged all to choose the
better way. 1t was a most excellent
paper, and read in a clear, resonant
voice.
Sara A. Colson followed with an essay
on "Woman's Position in the World" in
which she made a strong plea for the
right of woman to take her place beside
mar in all the avenues of life. She spoke
of the degradation of woman in the ear
lier centuries, and the pail that yet rests
among her in heather countries, and in
contrast noted her advancement in this
land at the present time and claimed for
her equal privileges with man.
The subject of the essay of William Q.
Davis, which came next, was the PRO
gress of Civilization" in which he con
trasted the civiliz alton of Greece and
Rome, with their love of military re-
nown. and that which prevails in our
favored country to day, showing how
education had been the agency in work
ing the change. He told of the marvel
u facilities that are provided in school,
academy and college for our youth in
securing an education, and the blessings
which follow both to individual and
state.

fifty-six acres) was purchased in
Houston for $4,000, and build
ings will be erected forthwith for
the Exposition, which will open in
September, 1898, and close about

Their number is estimated at g.

Union there are $4,000 colored

ment of the race. Houston has
been selected for the Exposition
because it is very important rail-
road, manufacturing and CONNER
cial center. Sixty per cent of the
negro population of the United
States live within twenty-five hours
ride of that city, and thirty per
cent of the Texas metropolis are
colored. The officers of the Ex-
position are: Bishop A. Grant
president; Ed. Banks, first vice.
president; VIII. Hubert, treasurer
F. ]. Richardson, secretary; H. c,
Ferguson, general manager. The
Salvation Army wishes the colored
people God-speed with this enter,

some day will direct its attention
to the civilized freedmen of the
United States.-The War Cry.

THE COLORED RACE IN THE
UNITED STATES,

During a period covering about
thirty years, a bitter anti-slavery
controversy agitated the United
States, which finally eliminated in
the great Civil War. The close of
that memorable struggle witnessed
the emancipation of the Southern
slaves. When the shackles of bon
dage were stricken from them, the
negroes were turned adrift to shift
for themselves and to work out
their own salvation. A third of a
century has passed since that
event. The freedmen are now
bestirring themselves to show man
kind the result. A state fair was
held BY them at Houston, Texas,
last year which was so successful
that they have felt encouraged to
launch ont upon a much larger
scale. What is known as the
sfAfro-American Fair and Inter-
tate Exposition" was chartered

THE Broad AK, a Salt Lake
weekly, becomes a regular Meat
AK in going for S. A. Kenner and
the Democratic committee. 1t says
that Kenner's paper, the Great
Campaign, rises and falls with each
campaign, that its resurrection is
just before the campaign opens and
its dormant state begins as soon as
the election is over, but it adds that
the Great Campaign gets paid for
its work but the Broad AK, a tread
mill worker for Democracy, does
not receive anything. We would
refer the Broad Ak to the story of
the prodigal son. Remember there
were two sons-one staying at
home, working hard AID helping in
every way. but the other one went
off on a wild oats trip and when he
got disguised with himself he re-
turned to the old home for some
thing to eat and drink. Now,
probably, the Great Campaign is a
sort of prodigal son, and when each
campaign opens it comes to itself
somewhat distorted BY a too lively
existence-and then concludes to
return to the old Democratic home
where there are some things better
than busks; and possibly the Broad
AK is the home boy and worker,
ever present and laboring hard and
yet getting no fatted calf. The
moral of all this is, be content with
thy lot as long as you hang to the
Democratic party.
In the Broad Ak article there is
one bit of news which we place
upon records coming from a.
Democratic source that IN the
campaign Of 1896, the Great Cam |
paign, the Argus, the Deseret
Evening News, the Salt Lake
Herald and the Salt Lake Tribune |
each and all were fed out of the
Democratic trough, for the work
which they performed for the Dem
ocratic party. But the Broad Ak
received no recognition from the
hands of the state committee. This
was rank Democratic injustice
