ROANOKE COMMENCEMENT
Col. w. A. Handley Presented With 8
 Handsome Cane by Students

Roanoke, June 2.-(Special 1.-The Roan- oke Normal college ended its years work this week and brilliant commencement marked the close of most successful and harmonious session.
 There was considerable disappointment over the inability of Dr. Waverly Briggs to be present and preach the commence ment sermon, but the pulpit was ably fill ed by Rev. George L. Jenkins
 On Tuesday evening graduating exercises took place, and the annual address was delivered. In a contest of merit Miss Mat tie A. Pttman was chosen to represent the young lady graduates, and she presented an excellent essay on the subject, Now and Then"
 The following are the members of the class who received diplomas:
 Receiving the degree of A B-Messrs. w. L. Marlborough, B. P. Moody, Dewitt Eau cett and Miss Matte A. Pittman; receiving the degree of B S-Messrs s. J. Holder and Bonnie Awbrey and Misses Claude Awbrey and Susie Sledge.
 Immediately after the presentation of diplomas the most pleasant and beautiful incident of the week occurred. Miss Claude Awbrey stepped to the front of the stage, holding in her hand very handsome and valuable gold-headed cane which she pre- sented, in pretty speech to Colonel w. A. Handley, president of the board of trus- tees, as token of love and appreciation from the pupils of the school for the time and labor Colonel Handley has given to this institution during all its history.
 Colonel Handley was greatly moved by this expression form all the pupils, and his speech, accepting the token, was full of kind expressions and good advice. At the conclusion of this incident Miss Myrt Manley treated the audience to a song.
 Rev. H. c. Risner, with words of euiogy cry-n ira0 nf hfS lnon tance. introduced Rev. T. T. Eaton, D. D., of Louisville, Ky. The speaker announced as his subject, "Wisdom-the Principal Thing" He quoted many definitions of wisdom, and considered 1t at length from this standpoint: To know the what, the when and the how. He urged these three things upon the pupils Believe the truth, be holy, do right.
 Dr. Eaton made no attempt at oratory, but his address of one hour was brmming full of sound thought and practical sense. It was thoroughly enjoyed and will result in great good

MEMOLrS MASS
Will Be Sung Tonight At East
 Lake

A great musical attraction tonight will be Memolis grand mass, to be sung by a large chorus and soloists, supported by an orchestra of twenty-five, at East Lake This beautiful and melodic work was well rendered at St. Paul's church on Easter and the Sunday after Easter, but it will be much more finely sung tonight. The chorus will be much larger and Miss Nor ma Schoolar, recently returned from New York, will be the principal soloist.
 Memoli conducted three rehearsals of his mass last week, and it will be heard with artistic shading and finish.
 The orchestration is particularly bril- liant. The opening number of the mass Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)-is full and sonorous and is melting in its tender pleading. The second number-the Gloria is of course, joyous and spirited The most elaborate harmony is heard perhaps in the Credo. In the Credo there are sev- eral dramatic climaxes and one of the most beautiful solos in the entire compost tion. The other numbers-the Sanctus and the Agnus Dei-are also effective in dramatic climaxes.
 A small admission will be charged-10 cents-and the proceeds will be applied to the fund for the purchase of uniforms for Memolfs band.

ROBBINS WILL ASK
 A DENOMINATION Will Rely on the People to Right the Wrong Which Con-
 greSs Has Done.

Selma, June 1.-(Special.)-Hon Gaston A Robbins was seen by a representative of the Age-Herald this morning and asked gress, and what he thought of the action of the committee yesterday in ordering a primary election. MT. Robbins said:
 You may publish that I am a candidate for reelection to congress, subject to the nomination to be made in the democratic primary election. The change from the convention plan to the primary system, adopted by the committee, reduces the strength of my home county in making a nomination.; nevertheless, I am perfectly willing to submit my candidacy to the dem- ocrats of the entire district. The rules and safeguards adopted by the committee ap- pear to have been we'll and wisely consid- cred.
 "The vote of the republican members of the house of representatives, whereby the democrats of this district were deprived of a representative in the present congress was a partisan decision. Both the law and the facts of the case were ignored, and there is no court that has Jurisdiction to reverse such rulings Therefore, I shall appeal to the people, court which can and will revise such unfair proceedings.
 1T submit, and will demonstrate during the campaign, that this is party affair." and that vindication can only come to the party and its duly elected representative by another election. I will always fight whether the standard bearer, or in the ranks, such wrong and injustice. I shall refer my case to the democrats in every precinct of the district, and shall expect all who may be candidates to ask for votes in my home county"

ETHELBERT BEAT
 WHITNEY'S PRIDE Jean Beraud FIoundered Twelve Lengths in the Rear. MAHER'S WORK BEAUTIFUL When He Had the Race in Hand He Tried to Pull Up His Mount,
 But Couldn't Help Winning
 by Ten Lengths
MAHER'S WORK BEAUTIFUL

New York, June 2.-Ethelbert easily de- feated Jean Beraud in the special race at Gravesend today. He was ridden by Dan- ny Maher and was favorite in the betting. The time was POS 1-5 His performance of today was good enough to beat that of any horse that was ever saddled in this country. Maher had waiting orders and lay alongside his rival until they were half a mile from home when he drew up and opened big gap in few strides and then came home as he pleased ten lengths in front. They got away on the instant. The first quarter was covered in 23 4-5 seconds. Like a pair fastened head and tail they flew to the five furlongs pole. Neither had the breadth of hair of advantage over the other and in spite of the fact that the furlong was run in Il 3-5 seconds they ap- peared to be going well within themselves. When they were strengthened out in the back stretch they were still running stride for stride and the half was passed in 4S seconds. The next pole was passed in l 100 2-5-splendd time
 Jean Beraud Got the Cad
 In the next furlong it became apparent that Jean Beraud had got the gad as inch by inch, at first, then foot by foot, and then stride by stride Ethelbert began to get away rom nm. The time to the three quarters was 1:13R, and as far as Jean Beraud was concerned he had little more interest in the race. Around the upper turn of the stretch it was Ethebert first and the other nowhere, for in few great bounds, with Maher sitting still on his back, he had opened a gap of a dozen lengths, while Jean Beraud was foundering in distress. Maher did not look back, how ever, until he had reached the end of the seven furlongs in 1:26 3-5, and when he did turn he saw the pride of the Whitney string far behind him and took a steady ing pull on his mount passing the mile pole in 1:41 1-5, with lots left in him. Down the stretch Ethelberts head was pulled sideways.
 Pull as hard as he might, Maher could not help winning by ten lengths. Not a favorite landed the money before this race.
 Heliobas was selected to carry the weight of money in the first event, but he could do no better than third, as Blue Devil landed the race in drive In the Hudson stakes, the Fleischmanns two-year-old was the choice but Prince Charles won easily, although by small margin. Mes merist was a hot favorite for the Carlton, but he was never better than third Stand ing won all the way in new record for the track by 2-5 of second.

LINDEN
Prospects for Good Crop in Marengo
 Are Bright

Linden, June 3.-(Special )-Prospects for a good crop year are fine at this writing. Despite the delay and great throwback by the high waters in the early spring, the farmers now have their crops about work ed over the first time, and the rainy sea- son we are now having will be of much benefit.
 B. F. Glider, former clerk of the circuit court of Choctaw county, but now a prac- ticing attorney moved his family here last week. His second son left Tuesday to ac- cept a position in the war department at Washington.
 One of Linden's oldest and best loved citizens in the person of Mrs. Nancy An derson, passed away this morning at o'clock. Mrs. Anderson was S4 years of age, had spent eighty of these years as a citizen of Linden, and had been a con sistent member of the Baptist church at this place for fifty years. She leaves an invalid son and host of friends.
