l Thirteen pupils constituting the graduat. I ing class took part in the exercises lasi i night, assisted by some of the pupils of the lower grades. Many White Persons Present Among the audience were Superintendent J. H. Phillips, President Samuel Ullman l of the board of education, several teachers of the white schools and number of prominent citizens, who lent encouragement | to the work by their presence. To these persons the exercises proved a revelation, it being almost impossible to conceive that the representatives of race, who are but emerging from the throes of slavery could so excellently reflect the efforts of their | teachers. The exercises were opened with the | chorus, 70 Praise the Lord.'' after which the invocation was offered by Rev. A. | Simmons The following programme was then car ried out: Old Glory chorus, Star spangled Ban- ner." Salutatory-Mary Fain. Paper. Progress of the Negro," Olivia Harris. Geographical Oration-John Streeter. Solo-Mary Brunette. Paper, "A Voice Against Gaudy Dress ing" Pearl Hazard. Historical Oration-Louis Phillips.
  Woodland Chorus-"Away, Away" Select Relationship White.
 Paper. "The Home-Woman's Sphere" Rosa Dickerson. Boys' Chorus, How Goes the Money?"
 Paper, Let the Women Aspire Hattie Carter. Solo. History of the Class-viola Moore. Valedictory-Roomy Gillespie. Chorus, "Let the Hills and Wales Re- sound" President Samuel UlIman, of the board of education, in few sound and pertinent remarks presented the members of the class with certificates of graduation. He was followed by Dr. J. H. Phillips, who spoke earnestly upon education and gave the class excellent advice. He paid a trtb- ute to the teachers tn charge of the colored school, and gave public acknowledgement to their ability and worth.
 The class was composed of Mary Fain, Olivia Harris John treeter, Mary Brunette, Pearl Hazard. Louis Phillips Henry Ma lone, Eugene Malone, Ruby White, Rosa Dickerson, Hattie Carter, yio Moore and Rooney Gillespie.
 After the remarks of Dr. Phillips, Prof Auguste, on behalf of the schools, thanked the superintendent and board for their in- terest in the colored schools, and announce ed that he would organize a summer school.
 The chorus " Gloria" was then sung by the pupils, after which benediction was pronounced by Rev. Morresey, of Zion church.
 The eolored schools are in charge of the following teachers:
 Slater-C. V. Auguste, principal; Oriena Kennedy Josie. Johnston, Alice Neson Rachael Lester and Anna Bell.
 Lane-G. s. Lewis, principal; Marie F. Jones, A B. Henden, Annie E. Payne, Lena R. Finley, and Nancy l.. Lowe.

When member of the asso- citation is taken sick, or Is dangerously wounded, these agents identify him imme- diately and see that the authorities give him the best possible attention and at the same time they notify his relatives at home. If the member is killed his body is identi- fled and laid aside, and If 1t is impossible for his relatives to have the body brought home it is given a decent burial and the grave distincly marked.
 The officers of the association propose to put their agents in every military camp in the country to solicit members for the as- sociation at once. An agent will leave for Mobile today.
 Its promoters say this association is not a grand-stand affair, or a big insurance organization, but that it will to large ex- tent do away with very sad feature that is incidental to all wars, that of dying an unknown death and being buried in an un- known grave.

 The badges which are issued by this as- sociation read as follows: "In case of acci- dent or death, notify with number No =, National Registration association, Birming- ham, Ala, U. S. A" This badge is issued to all members of the association, and par tially explains its purpose.
 The association is fashioned some thing on the order of an insurance company, the ob- ject being to see that all soldiers, or any, body else who Is a member of the assecia- ton. Is taken care of when sick and given a decent burial when killed. A man joins the association on the payment of 25 cents and receives a numbered badge. An ac- curate physical description Is made of the applicant. giving age, height. complexion, etc., together with the addresses of his closest relatives or friends.

Ferguson delivered the address of welcome, to which Rev. ID. J. Jones responded. Both of these speeches were well received
 Miss Idene Key recited a beautiful pic ce which was suitable to the occasion. Miss Josie Oxford, who was also to recite, was unable to be present.
 Colonel w. H. Denson, whose name ap- peared on the programme as the orator of the occasion, was unable to attend, and In his place Colonel Dansby, H. c. Vaughn and w. T. Huffman were called upon, and all made very patriotic and interesting ad- dresses. Chaplain Lloyd pronounced the bened'ction for the morning exercises.
 Dinner was served at 12:30, and an ex- cellent one 1t proved, having been prepared by the good women who were present. The Daughters of the Confectionery were pres- ent and served refreshments.
 The meeting was again called to order at o'clock. Under the head of m 'scelIaneous business, the question of urging upon the next legislature the advisability of appro- priating money for a soldiers home was very favorably discussed.

This was done, but it proved too true that the break had oe- cured and there was nothing to do but to accept it. The Miller delegation withdrew to an ante-room to consult and kept the convention waiting nearly half an hour be- fore they made their exit. The motion to adjourn until 8 o'clock was made and carried 21 to 19
 Long and earnest consultations were held between these two hours, but to all ap- pearances nothing was accomplished for when the convention was called to order at that hour, S:30, Musgrove immediately moved to adjourn until 9:S0 this morning. and his motion was carried 25 to 15.
