VERY BAD MARKsMEN.
Naval Engineer Bates Six Year-Old
Son Encourages His Mother BY an
ODiniOn.

Mrs. Alexander B. Bates arrived
yesterday from Old Point Comfort,
and is visiting her cousin, l. H..
Smith, at No. 2129 Callow avenue,
says the Baltimore 'Sun." Mrs.
Bates tells good one about her son,
a little red-haired chap of six sum-
mers. Fer husband, Chief Engineer
Bates, of the battleship Texas now
with Commodore Schley's Flying
Squadron, had arranged for his wife
and child to go aboard at the last mo-
ment before leaving. Notice of the
departure was to be given by the sig
nal of a gun, which all ashore awaited
expectantly. Suddenly the report
came, and found Mrs. Bates and Jack
unprepared All was hurry and bus
tie at the Hotel Chamberlin, for only
half-hour was given visitors to say
good-by.
Mrs. Bates, with the hurry and
rush necessary, soon prepared herself.
Then she saw that Jack was half
dressed. sob, pray, Jack, do hurry,
or we may never see your father
again" Jack (whose education Had
been derived partly from some little
darky children and who had the Ma
Mia fight in mindD replied with long
drawn-out drawl:
"Don't worry, Mamma, the Span
iards can't hit d-thing."

OLDEST CITIZEN.
Joseph Sharp of Green Bank, Dies at
at the Advanced Age of 10 Years.

MARLINToN, W. Va, May "a. =
Joseph Sharp, of Green Bank, this
county, died last week aged ITO years,
and as "the oldest person in the
State" who recently died in Parkers-
burg, had but l0S years to her credit,
it is safe to say that the late Joseph
Sharp was really the Oldest person in
the State. His age can be very we'll
proven. His neighbor, the late Thos.
Kerr, was man of great intelligence
and would have been 50 years old if
he had lived. He and Sharp were
raised on the same farm. His ear
Hest recollection of Sharp was that he
was man grown, and that when he
was five years old. Sharp was doing
a mans work and carried him across
a stream that was high. He always
put Sharp's age as twelve years more
than his own.
The celtenarian passed his entire
life in this county, and for a number
of years has been of feeble mind. In
answer to questions for a dozen years,
as to his age he has answered 100
years. He never got older.
He remained a poor man all his
life, accommodating only enough to
buy the land he lived on. He was a
man of even temper, hard worker,
and chewer Of tobacco. He used
liz uor sparingly.

of Mayor George Washington, of

and the little fellow sustained some
abrasions of the skin on both cheeks

faint conception of the blowing up

COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
What is to be Done During the
Six Days of the Closing
Exercises.

Six Dyas will now be taken up instead
of Four as formerly.-A number Of
New Features introduced this year.
Two New Contests and the moot court
trial added to the entertainments.
Thursday instead OF Wednesday is to
be Commencement Day = Mckinley
may not be able to come and if he
fails Elkins will be the speaker for
the Occasion.
The program for Commencement
week has been completed by the pres
ident and his assistants. Instead OF
the four days which have formerly
contained all the events Of the week
six days will be given over to the cele-
bration of the close of the school year.
The exercises will begin on Friday
evening with moot court trial which
is expected to be very rich event.
This trial was to have taken place
last winter, but the proper arrange
ments were not made in time and it
will be given as one of the closing ex-
ercises. The trials which have al
ready been given by the law class are
ample guarantee that this one will be
corker. The trial will be more orig
inal and extemporaneous this year.
The old cut and dry features will be
eliminated.
Saturday evening will occur the con-
test among the members of the senior
class for the one hundred dollars in
gold given by J.W. Wiles to the MEM
Der of the senior class having the best
grafton. This contest is expected to
be very hot one.
Sunday morning the Baccalaureate
sermon will be preached by DR.. Craw
ford, of Allegheny college.
In the evening there will be relig
ious services of the Young Mems
Christian Association of the UEiver-
sity. On Monday evening the decla-
nation contest open to the pupils OF
the preparatory department for the
regents prize will take place.
On Tuesday the annual competitive
drill for the regents medal will take
place, and in the evening the orator
ical contest among the young wo-
men students for the Woman's League
prize Of 800.
On Wednesday will be the company
competitive drill for the colors, and in
the evening the annual inter-society
literary contest.
The commencement exercises will
occur on Thursday morning, and the
field day sports will conclude the COM
mencement program. The probabil
titles are that there will be no ball, a
matter which will be regretted by the
social set all over the state, who have
looked forward to it each year with
such anticipation.
A number of well. known public
men have been invited to be present
on commencement day, but as yet it
is not definitely known who will be
the orator of the occasion. Il is still
hoped that president Mckinley will
be present to deliver an address, but
he has written that it is doubtful il
he can leave Washington at that time.
Senator Elkins will, in all likelihood
deliver the address.

LET THE COMMANDERS ACT.
Army and Navy Journal Makes Bold
Plea for sampson and Schley.

NEW YORK, May 24.-The army
and navy journal says editorially:
sIf William T. Sampson and Win
field Scott Schley are not compe-
tent to command, let them be relieved
without further delay and other Off
GERS assigned to command their fleets.
If they are competent, they should be
given full liberty of action without
interference from war boards or paper
strategists. If the gentlemen who
assume direction from Washington
are more competent put them in COM
mand of the fleets and place the re-
sponsibilty on them. Admiral Dewey
has shown what can be accomplished
by bold and independent action.
Does any one believe that he could
have accomplished what he has if he
had been at the end of wire run
ming into the navy department.
