be entered up to its credit.
THE negro's place is just as high in
heaven as God will let an humble soul
rise; on earth it is just as high in moral
ity, intelligence and attainments as man
can rise. Study your place and try to fill
it. Stand for what you believe to be

At the close of the exercises President
Meserve in his remarks touching the con-
dition Of the University said that the
number of graduates this year in all
departments was 81. The enrolment in
all departments during the year has been
364; and the average attendance has in
creased over IL per cent. The year was
ended with money enough on hand to
meet all claims and have a slight balance
in the treasury. All dues have been paid
except about $3.50. The average cost
of educating a student at Shaw, said
the president, is about $125 a year and
but for the aid of phianthropists and
missionary societies it would not be pos
sible to keep the school in opera ton,
charging the students only $50 a year
This, he said, meant much to those who
paid it. 1t comes from wash tubs, kitch-
ems and dining rooms.
The president stated that he had but
recently received a piece Of music written
by a graduate of Shaw University and
dedicated to the Cuban patriots. The au-
thor of it is now the head waiter on
the Fall River steamer Puritan. And
just here Dr. Meserve took occasion to
remind his white hearers Of the fact that
the head waiter at Morehead this sum-
mer and large per cent. Of the walters,
were Shaw students. ''Tip them gener-
Ously," he said. 1t will come back into
our treasury and help some colored youth
prepare for life's battles

Dihaculties of Carnation Culture.

when all Is done that seems possible te

evaporation Of finding that particular
varieties. upon which he may have based
his most sanguine expectations, obsti.
nately refuse to flourish under his care.
Almost every carnation culturist knows
varieties that he "simply cannot raise"
and neither he, nor anybody else, can
tell the reason why. OF course, there
must be something lacking, in soil, wa.
ter, air or treatment, which they re
quire, but it seems as if they were ca

Some very peculiar things happen over
the telephone and the operators at some
OF the local boards enjoy many a laugh
at the expense OF some novice in using
one. One OF the local boards ia operated
by popular young man, who is 10 the
habit OF tipping his chair back and com
fortably resting his feet on the office
table. The operator is on duty many
hours at a time and finds this position
very restiul.
A well known Red Jacket bu-iness man
who has reputation NJ practical Joker
is in the habit of calling the central and
joking with the operator at the switch
board. The business man knew of the
operators easy-ch .ir habit and recently
when he called up and asked for resi-
dence at the Calumet mine location, he
sang out, Get your feet off the table"
The lady of the house which had been
called up answered the telephone rather
sooner than expected and was decidedly
surprised at the command. In fact, she
was taken aback and lengthy explana-
ton had to be given in order to under
stand the mistake.

G. w. Richards. Of Os-
Ceola. and One of
His Troubles.
His Assault and Battery Case
Against James Richards Amounts TO
NOthing-A Joke on the Joker
other local LacOnics.

Charles w. Richards, OF Osceola, lie, or
imagines he il, a wronged man and ter
rlbly wronged at that. He appeared be-
fore Justice Fisher a short time ago and
swore out a warrant charging a lad
named James Richards, aged IA, with
assault and battery. The boy pleaded
not guilty and trial came off this morn
ing. From the evidence introduced it ap.
pears that Mr.. Richards was run into
one day last December while on the coun-
ty road by the lad who was driving a
horse and ell ter occupied by himself and
two ladies. The horse did not strike him,
but the dashboard of the cutter did and
his oyercoat was ripped and he had to
purchase a new one. He was not injured
in the least.
The boy testified that the road was
narrow and that there was a man on
each side of it, He warned them both to
get out OF the road, but Richards old not
move. The boy pulled up his horse, but
not in time to save him.
The whole trouble rests in the fact that
Richards is deaf and did not hear the
boys warning. He, however, claims
that there was no one on the opposite
side OF the road. The boy being juven-
lie, County Az MT Osborn was called in
to hear the testimony on the case. At
torney W. J. McDona d defended the boy.
The Justice found the boy not guilty
as it was very evident that he did not in
tend TO iDjure the complaining witness.
Mr.. Richards was exceedingly surprised
at the decision and paid the costs with
evident reluctance. He declared the
whole affair farce ana promised to
make it public, but when asked by
NEWS reporter for his side OF the story
he said it would take two or three days
to prepare it, but would send it in soon.
He is now thinking of bringing suit
for damages.

JOHN D. LONG ON THE ISSUES.
Remarks on Free Silver and ConsoIi datior
of Labor or Capital.

Remarks on Free Silver and ConsoI idation
of Labor or Capital.
New York, Feb. "a special dispatch
from Boston gives an interview with
Ex-Governor John ID. Long of Massa
chusetts. who has been mentioned as a
possible member of the cabinet of Pres
Elect Mckinley. upon the issues
of the day. Ex-Governor Long says
among other things:
Whether the free silver movement
Is dead or not depends upon many con-
siderations. 1 regard 1t as a manifes-
tation Of certain conditions that found
expression in that way, and which
might have been expressed in another
manner. An era Of prosperity or an
international agreement will settle It.
If the good times / confidently expect
progress. we will hear nothing of free
silver generally throughout the coun-
try.
II do not see why any proper laws
in reference to trusts or any other form
of the consolidation of capital or labor
shrould not be enforced. 1t depends on
whether they are so drawn as to COM
mand public sentiment and have its
backing. IT Is merely the question Of
proper regulation of the elements, forces
and interest existing at any particular
time

Member of the A. o. U. w. all over the
State are greatly interested In question
which comes up at a meeting OF the
Grand Lodge to be held this month. The
question is whether the society will adopt
the classified assessment" rule or con.
tinue with the "level rate" as is used at
present and has been in force since the
lodge was first organized, The present
manner OF meeting death losses is by as
sessing all members the same regardless
OF their age, while the propost d change
is to make classified arrangement &C.
cording to the age of the members. The
local lodge will decide the question as to
how they stand at meeting to be held
Thursday evening.
1t was on this question that w, Warne
Wilson left the lodge. He saw that a
change would be necessary oryoung men
could not be induced to become members.
and because the lodge would not adopt
his plan he left it to found another.
