graduating class. Gay society was out
in strength and visiting men of promi-
inence and culture throughout the State
were there, together with beautiful
maids, elderly matrons and gallant
beaux. 1t was an occasion that will be
remembered by some for a long time to
come.
The scene around the magnificent Duke
building was one of electrical splendor.
Over the doorway, in colored electric
lights had been arranged the words {:
Trinity. 1906" Around the fountain,
that played in front of this building, was
an array of lights that rival description.
Everything was loyeliness and splendor.
The patronesses of the reception were
as follows: Mrs. b. N. Duke, Mrs T.
y. Jones' Mrs. j. C.. Kilgo Mrs. G. w.
Watts Mrs. B. l.. Leak, Mrs. M. w. Reed,
Mrs. w. C. Tyree, Mrs. w. H. McCabe.
Mrs. J. w. Goodson, Mrs c. w. Toms
and Miss Annie Roney.
The elite of Durham were out during
the evening and all pronounced the oc-
casion a fitting close of one of the great
est commandments in the history of the
college.
Mr.. F. H. Busbee, of Raleigh, who
made the presentation speech in deliv-
ering the Wiley Gray medal to Mr.. j. M.
Culbreth, the winner, Wednesday, during
the graduating exercises at Trinity Col
lege, said that it was his privilege and
pleasure to deliver the opening address
at the instituting of this medal.
There are twenty-one buildings be-
longing to Trinity College.
Fifty scholarships have been establish
ed, ranging in value from $50 to $75.
OF the twenty-one graduates of the
Trinity Park High School, it is likely
that all of them will enter college the
coming year.
The new dormitory at the high school
building has been named the Branson

Glands Valley. About 300 men arrived
there June 9Th and 700 reached the place

specting the Chinese situation and has
repeatedly intimated that it is concerned
only for the safety of the American Le-
cation and consulates in China, and for
the direct interests of American citizens
there.
An indication of the care exercised by
the Department in strictly confining it's
officers to these lines, is afforded by the
instruction to Minister Conger sent yes
terday, to draw upon Admiral Kempff for
any force needed to protect his legation
and such refugees as might properly
claim the right of asylum there or in the
consnlates. The Minister was not even
charged to send out the United States
naval forces and marines to points where
American missionaries are reported to be
beset and in jeopardy. although much
pressure has been brought to bear upon
the State Department by the missionary
interests to secure an order to this effect.
Mr.. Conger's powers are regarded as am
pie, but he is not expected to take action
in the matter of dispatching military ex-
peditions to the interior of China that
might be equivalent TO a declaration Of
war on our part. BY adherng closely to
it's old-tim policy of abStention from
interference with internal matters in
China. and especially by refraining from
entangling movements in connection with
the projects of other powers, the State
Department is confident that it can prop
erly care for all the legitimate Ameri-
can interests in China during the present
crisis. without becoming involved itself
and without loss of prestige.
81 The Helena has not yet sailed from
Manila 70 reinforce Admiral Kempff's
force at Taku. and it is surmised that at
the moment the order was received from
the Navy Department, the vessel was
either absent from Manila, or was not
available for immediate service. The Navy
Department was in communication today
with Admiral. Remey, presumably with
reference TO the speedy movement OF the
Helena or some other ship to Taku.

has not grown worse during the last "A

London and Continental commentators
are ''perilous,' grave" and dangerous. y
The naval commanders in Chinese

No fear is entertained for the safety Of

excited state. thousand foreign guards
were garrisoning the legation houses.
Six hundred international troops are at
Tien Tsin with six guns. A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Shanghai, dated June
7th, takes gloomy view of things, which
are pictured as going from bad to worse.
The correspondent says;
The authorities are displaying palpa-
bly, guilty supiness in dealing with the
boxers and the powers are more and
more taking matters into their own hands.

London, June IA special dispatch
from Shanghai, dated 1880 p. m. today,
says the Dowager Empress has ordered
General Neih 81 Chong, with 5000 men to
protect the railroad at Pekin.
A severe fight, it is added, has occur

The dispatch goes on to say:
Zone hundred and eighty British ma

Altogether about 900 British have been
landed from the fleet a greater number
than have have been landed frCm the

This evidence of Great Britain's intentions
to assert her position strongly gives
great satisfaction here

THE WEST VIRGINIA TICKET.

ernor-John Fl. Holt.
Auditor-JameS III. Miller.
Treasurer-James Garland Hearst
Attorney General-George NJ McCay.
Supreme Judges-John W. English and
W. G. Bennett.
Electors at Large-John W. Davis and

After continuous session of six and
half hours today the Democratic State
convention this evening concluded it's
work 1t was largely attended and en-
thusiastic throughout.
In addition to the platform adopted
last night and the ticket nominated to-
day the occasion also had bearing on
national politics. West Virginia next
November elects members of the Legis-
lature as well as State officers and the
new Legislature elects the successor Of
United States Senator Stephen B. Ell
kins. The concensus of opinion is that
the work of the State convention has
been favorable to the candidacy of John
T. McGraw, of Grafton, for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Senator. He was
the champion of Holt for Governor and
of other winners for State nominations.
Former Senators Henry G. Davis and
j. n. Camden took an active part in the
early part of the convention but neither
of them took any part after the perma
nent organization. Davis, Camden and
others have been urging more conserva-
tivetive platform than the one that was
adopted reaffirming the Chicago platform.
Senator Davis wanted the language of
the constitution incorporated in the plat
form regarding the use of both metals
and Senator Camden also expressed him.
self for conservative platform There
are some who say that McGraw's friends
controlled the committee on rules.
AS other candidates have withdrawn it
is conceded that A. B. White, of this
city, internal revenue collector for West
Virginia, will be the Republican candi-
date for Governor, and it is evident that

that the young man did not want the

and is turning out barrels of the use
full product every week. The present
capacity of the works is seven barrels
per day, or, giving the estimate by
weight, about one ton of the wax is
made ready for the market daily.
The process is quite complicated and
the oil must pass through many pro-
cesses before the wax can be extracted
from it. When the oil has finally been
purified it is run into trough through
which a cooled roller revolves and ow-
ing to the difference in temperature
between the two mediums the wax ad-
heres to the roller. The paraffine is
then scraped from the cylinder by
large knives and is deposited through
hopper into the barrels when it is
ready for market.
Filters are being constructed and
through these, which are to be filled
with black bone dust the oil will be
passed in order that al Impurities
which affect the color of the wax may
be removed. When these filters are
put in and all oil passed through them
the resulting product will be as white
as snow Other filters will also be
constructed for the purpose of manu-
featuring high grade machine and en-
gine oils.
The manufacture of paraffine is a
new industry in Mariet and is new tc
the majority of our citizens.
The profit accrung from the making
of the wax amounts to about $110 pei
day or over $4,000 per month.
When it is remembered that the ma

tured was until formerly a waste pro
