A very attractive feature of the parade
was the blackboard of the Belfast Livery

In the fifteenth century this pro-

iards ruled these islands.
The mos, important inhabitants
OF the archipelago are the Malays,
or Filipinos, OF whom the Tagals,
the Niscayas and the Moros are
the principal classes.
The Filipinos resemble in char
acter other oriental races, although
in some things they are more ad-
vanced. Many instances prove
that under favorable conditions
they would attain high degree of
civilization. The Philippine islands
are valuable on account OF their
agricultural products, and they
contain many good mineral de-
posits. We believe that over these
people, who have been ruled so
tyrannically, the United States will
ultimately establish beneticent
and stable rule.
Miss Abbie Mosher, in the
Grafton entitled, "How the Other
Half Laughs" began by saying
that theoretical speculations long
ago ventured upon the statement
of formulas that have since gained
pretty general acceptance among
practical and common sense peo-
pie. That two plus two makes
four is now almost universally
true. With the rapid increase OF
quick divorces, the truth of the
equation seems conclusive. That
two ''hemispheres" make sphere

but two exceptions.

the audience al the opera house
Thursday night at the close of the
exercises OF the graduating class OF
1899.
The opera house was crowded
to its creates, capacity and large
number were turned away unable
to gain admittance. The stage
was handsomely decorated with
curtains and strcamers of yellow
and white, the class colors. while
the proscenium was ornamented
with potted plants, palms and
trailing vines.
The exercises were pronounced
BY many as the best and most en-
joyable that have taken place in
this city for years. The chorus
singing OF the senior and junior
classes, under the leadership of
their instructor, Miss Zelia f.
Pealc, was especially fine, and
gave evidence OF excellent training.
The exercises opened with an in
