One well-deined feature OF the rush
for the klondike is the fact that many
women are arranging to try their for
tunes in the arctic gold diggings. A
band OF 40 has been organized in an
eastern city. and expect to find employ
ment as cooks. housekeepers, superin-
tendents of laundries and clerks in
stores. As for personal safety. the
miners are chiefly Americans, and no
sensible, self-respecting woman need
fear to trust herself in such company.
All the women in this party know how
to work and are in good health. They
expect to be well paid for their labor
in the neighborhood of the mines. and
are not likely to be disappointed. Moth
ing will advance civilization in Alaska
faster than their presence and example

If the wound extends clear around
the tree so that sap circulation is en-
sirely cut off, three or four scions can
be inserted. taking care to see that the
inner bark of the scion and tree fit
closely together. Use grating wax to

Closing Exercises of Oxford Female
Seminary Funeral of Mr.. J. A. Rem.
Oxford. n. c., May 25-(Specal.)- ~
The closing exercises of Oxford Female
Seminary took place on Monday. The
address of DR.. r. II. Nann before the
Calliopean Society was remarkably en-
tertaining. choosing as his subject
Home Builders" and the vein of hui
NOR running through the address was
heartily enjoyed The graduating eXer-
cises on Monday evening in the Baptist
church concluded the exercises of the
commencement The essays Of The
graduates, seven in number, were unu-
sually good. aud the excellent farewell
address of Prof. Hobgood, expressive of
the superior grade Of scholarships at
tanned by the class of '9S, was very
complimentary, announcing that the
average mark of 971a was obtained by
this class, in which Miss Edna Hudson,
Of Apex, received the highest average
in the history of the school.
The music Of the occasion was beauti-
fully rendered. The violin solo of Prof.
Riggs, deserving special mention.
The funeral of Mr.. J. a. Rem, which
was conducted in the Methodist church
yesterday afternoon by Rev. Mr.. Futile,
was decidedly the largest and most hon
ored occasion ever witnessed in Oxford.
From 3 to ; o'clock every business house
in town was closed in respect to this
noble man. The Granville GraNs, of
which he was member, served as escort
TO the procession, composed of the Odd
Fellows, the members of the Junior
Order of United American Mechanics,
the brotherhood of "Woodmen OF the
World" Odd Fellows and Junior
Order of L. A. 4. from
Henderson, while the large number of
vehicles and the long procession on foot
made an imposing spectacle. The hu-
rial ceremony Of the Odd Fellows was
given precedence, after which the order
Of u. A. NJ gave their ceremony, which
was followed by the beautiful burial
service of the "Woodmen Of the World
used for the first time here. According
TO their custom, they lowered box coy
cred with choice roses and white RIBBONS
into the grave and placed it upon the
casket, then opened the box,
from within which pigeon
took its flight and rising gently
from the grave, scared swiftly above the
crowd and westward took its flight
toward the setting sun--fit emblem Of the
resurrection. The brotherhood Of W.
%. w, which claims as its members
some. of the most influential men of the
town. expressed their intention Of erect
ing a suitable monument over the grave.
The deceased left a widow, five
daughters and two sons. He carried in
surance amounting to $500 ON his life.
