nishcd by Halls orchestra. Ray G.
Brown had charge Of tho program for
HE eia.aa and id Ills work very grace
fully.
The class history was a careful re-
view Of the itlore important events Of
the. course and was finely done. A
bright hit now and then started a
laugh and the bombastic praise of the
work Of the class caused some indul-
Gent Smiles from the older members of
the audience.
The class poem was Of unusual ex-
cellence. A legend in connection with
the holy grail was taken as the theme
and was very prGttily developed.
Much worse poetry is seen in the lead
ing newspapers every day and no bet
ter often times in some of the leading
periodicals..
The Grafton American Ideals was
full OF patriotism and the hope and
Zeal of the graduate and was very
Pleasing. 1t was delivered finely.
The class gift. an electric
clock similar to the one re-
Gently presented to Colby. was
presented by Ray c. Brown in
pleasing manner. The clock autcmati-
| ca1ly announces the hours for rccita-
ton in each room of the building and is
practical gift Of much convenience
and usefulness. The gift was accepted
oh behalf of the trustees by DR.. G. d.
b. Pepper. The clock gave an excellent
opportunity for play upon words for
which he is famous. and he kept the
audience laughing as long as he chose.
Some fNiSfS do
and excellent puns manufactured by
the speaker.
The class prophecy was of the usual
style. a journey through the country
being the basis. Members of the class
were found in all sorts of places and
conditions.
Maurice A. Priest was in ra ther a more
serious tone than usual but was excel
lent. He of course exalted his own
class and pitied very much indeed the
ignorance and folly of the undergradu-
ates. The advice he gave them was
sound and worth accepting. The adj
dress was very finely delivered.
The exercises closed with the singing
of the class ode which was written
by Miss Grace b. Garland. the music
being from Faust" The program was
rendered smoothly and promptly and
was wholly enjoyable. The following is

that it should be compared with the

These are not eaten with much relish,
and are often so light as not to afford
much nourishment.

FAcTING AND PRAYER

ST. LOUIS, July 21.-On this, the day
that Governor Dockery designated for
fasting and praying to God that the
present drought might be broken in
Missouri, all records for hot weather
in St. Louis were broken, the weather
bureau thermometer on the Custom
House registering 10S degrees. On the
streets and in exposed places the mer
curry went many degrees higher The
record broken was that of LOG, made in
the early eighties.
AS early as a. m the day gave
promise of being unusually warm. At
that time the Thermometer registered
80 degrees, and from then ON until
$3.50 p. m. the mercury steadily climbed
upward under the impulse of a fierce
sun shining from cloudless sky. Hard
ly breath of air stirred all day, and
the little that did circulate, came as the
drought from furnace, so intensely
hot was it.
The Governors proclamation was
very generally needed, nearly every
church in the city holding well attend
ed services, given up to prayer that
the drought which has prevailed several
months and threatens the destruction
of the vegetation, might be broken.

NEGROES STARTED
A Serious Race Riot in Cleveland,
Mississippi.


Mississippi.
CLEVELAND, Miss, July 21.-This
morning at l.. 80 o'clock band of arm
ed negroes, none of whom are known
rode into Cleveland, and stopping a
party Of three white men on the main
street, made threatening demonstra-
tions. Being called upon to identify
themselves, they answered by bringing
their rifles into play. One of the
negroes was killed on the spot, another
was wounded and is reported to have
been found this morning on the out
skirts of the town, the others escaped.
although it is supposed that more than
three were hurt. They were armed
with Winchester rifles and were we'll
mounted.
Excitement was at fever heat during
the remainder of the night. Squhds of
armed men patrolled the streets until
daylight. The trouble grew out of the
lynching of Jesse Phillips in the earlier
part of the night. The negroes in this
section are organized into lodges"
secret orders and protective socie-
ties" as Phillips was leader among.
1t was feared an attempt would be made
to avenge his death.
The fact had developed that the
killing of young Reed was a studied
scheme on the part of the negroes.
1t has been decided that the breaking
up of these negro organizations is nee
essary and there is no doubt that this
decision will be enforced. The town is
more quiet to-day than is usually the
case even on Sunday.

WITHOUT a PRECEDENT
Was the weather Throughout the
West Yesterday.


WASHINGTON, July 21.-The wea-
Their bureau tonight issued the follow
ing special bulletin:
Practically the entire country was
covered by the hot wave to-day except
the immediate Pacific coast and IN the
State of Iowa, Missouri and Illinois
nearly all previous high records were
exceeded. The maximum temperature
line of 100 degrees encircles the entire
great corn belt At Davenport and Du-
buque, Ia. and at Springfield, ILL.,, TIE
maximum temperature of LOG degrees
were two degrees above the highest
previous record, while at st. Louis the
maximum of LOG degrees has been
equalled but once before, on August II.
1881 At Chicago the maximum of 102
degrees equals the previous high record
of July 10th of the present year. In
the States of Iowa, Missouri, and Kan
sas, the duration of the present heated
term is without precedent, there having
been practically no interruption to tenn
peratures of 90 degrees or over, since
June IS, a period of thirty-four days.
On eighteen days of this period the
maximum temperature at Kansas City
was 100 degrees or more.
There are as yet no Indications of
any relief from the abnormal heat

THE RELIGIOUS ENTHUSIASM
stirred Up by the Epsvorth League
eliminated Yesterday.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 2l.--The relig-
ious enthusiasm aroused by the internal
tional convention of the Epworth League
hcte, had its cuimrat'on at the grand
me citing held to-day, the last of the gath
ering at the Mechanics Pavilion. About
10000 persons were in attendance and not
a seat was vacated until the conclusion
of the sermon preached by Bishop Joyce,
president OF the league. His theme was
Faith in Christ" and no more eloquent
address has been heard since the assem-
bling OF the convention. AT its concius-
ion the Bishop was rendered an impromp-
tn reception, not being allowed to leave
the platform until large part Of the con-
gregation had grasped his hand.
The influence of the league was not
alone felt in the central meeting. All over
the city in churches of many demonina-
lions. services were held. and the local
pulpits were occupied by visiting divines.
AT Grace Episcopal Church. where Rev.
J. NJ Buckley. OF New York, preached, it
was impossible to gain admittance long
before the time announced for opening of
the doors, and In none of the churches
was a vacant pew. Love feasts were held
in the early morning in more than dozen
places. including the Japanese and Chinese
missions.
The closing meetings OF the convention
we're held tonight In the Mechanics Pa
vllion, the Alhambra theatre, the Metro
poltan temple and the First United Pres
byterian church.
At the evening services the report of the
committee on resolution was read and
adopted, viva voce. After expressing
thanks to all who had aided to make the
convention a success, these resolutions
continue under several heads as renewed
expression ol the principles of the league.
Gratitude is expressed at the deepening
interest among members of the league in
the cause of Christian missions and the
plans for leaguee extension.
,Unalterable opposition is expressed to-
ward the liquor traffic. The abolition of
the army canteen is a subject of rejoicing.
The persistent effort to have 1t restored
is protested against, particularly In view
of the action against the institution by
RUS a and France.
worth League is a matter of congratula-
The extension and growth of the league
among colored churches is encouraged,
and the continued spread of the Junior
Epworth League is a matter of congratu-
lation. Finally the supreme purpose OF
the League in developing the highest type
of spiritual life among the young is urged
on all who are numbered on its rolls.
Many leaguers will leave the city on side
trips to the Yosemite and other resorts i'll
various parts of the State OF these,
certain percentage will return to the city,
but the greater part will journey eastward
to their homes after the completion OF
their outings in the interior Several hun
bred will leave the city tomorrow in ad-
vance of the main army of the leaguers
which will leave at intervals during the
week.
