IN HONOR OF THE CLASS.
Mir. and Mrs. H. Bernstein Entertain Graduates, School Board, Teach
 CTS And Other Friends At
 Hazel After Exercises.

To sit for several hours, the ob- served by all observers is the lot of every graduate, but few classes are so fortunate as to have awaiting them upon the conclusion of the com meneement exercises a delightful social entertainment But the class of 1902 belonged to this lucky few and the function in their honor was given by the secretary of the school board MT. H. Bernstein and his thoughtful wife.
 After an elegant repast of ice cream, strawberries and cake, toasts were called for and timely, appropriate re- sponses, to some of which there was a touch of humor, were made by Revs L. H. Richardson, H. E. Gabby, Messrs J. M. Stayton, w. R. Thomp- son, Drs. J. M. Jones and A. J. Brewer and Prof. A. Woods. The gradu- ates too were called upon and from the excellence of their impromptu efforts as we'll as prepared orations, it would seem that the class of 1902 are all good speakers.
 The adjournment from the banquet table was by a rising vote of thanks to MT. and Mrs. Bernstein, whose loyalty to and love for the Newport schools is deeply appreciated not only by the teachers and pupils of that body, but by all the friends and pat rons of the institution.
 Tn MT. Gabby's remarks, he urged upon the graduates that they continue dreaming, that they refuse to lower their ideals to the matter off, fact grooves along which some drift, but continue to let their ambition and the roseate pictures of youth control them, for under such conditions, both the usefulness and happiness of the indi- vidual is best subserved. The thought was beautiful and with many others was impressed upon the class, who will have many reasons in later years to recall with pleasure this hospitality of MT. and Mrs. Bernstein.

Handkerchief showers are not every day occurrences but if they were all such pleasant affairs as that given Friday afternoon by Miss Ray Bran denburg in honor of her cousin Miss Neal Phillips, it would be a matter of regret that they did not happen more often. At this delightful function, the guest of honor was the recipient of forty two beautiful handkerchiefs of various neat designs and pretty fancy work, the handiwork of the donors in many instances. The handkerchief shower is the forerunner of wedding and this event was formal announce ment of the engagement of Miss Neal Phillips, one of Newport's most charming and queenly society belles to MT. R. Dorsey WiImans, a popular young business man of this city and the youngest member of the firm of Wilmans Bros, whose wedding is to take place next month. The pros- pective groom was not forgotten in this handkerchief shower and was the recipient of two such remembrances from friends.
 A unique method of entertaining was introduced in puzzle picture contest, each guest being handed a card containing five puzzle pictures. So many were successful in finding the hidden objects, that a drawing contest was instituted to determine the winner and in this way Mrs. Vim. Gregg carried off the first prize, a beautiful table cover and Mrs. R. M. Johnson the booby.
 Misses Mary Bailey and Noreene Kinman charming young ladies, mem bers of the younger set in society, dis pensed cooling punch from bowl in the hall. The refreshments consisting of brick cream and cake were nicely served and rounded out most suc- cessful function, winning the hostess and her assistants in receiving, Mrs. Charles Wilmans+snd Mrs. Narcie Min or, many compliment upon the de- lightful and enjoyable character of the reception.
 Thelguests present were Mesdames T. D. Kinman, Sr., T. D. Kinman IT,, R. M. Johnson, Vim. and A. D. Bailey, H. Cobb, D. Terry, L. Minor, Wm. Gregg, c. R. Hite, w. w. McMinn, L. H. Richardson, A. V.

The remains Of Mrs. Frances Nc
Girl reached here Friday morning

winds. Like buzzards only one sort
OF food attracts them; they work at +
naught else. They plan nothing Of
Importance, they build nothing great.
They confine their efforts to rendlng,
breaking down and spelling. They
do nothing for the good of this great
commonwealth; they are prominent
in no affair OF moment. Take the
whole crowd Of McJimseys, and they
are mere bangers-on in the profess
sions and the trades. Jack-leg law
yers, poll-parrot editors, hack writer's,
failures ir all serious efforts; the
mystery is how they are heard from
at all.
Years ago the McJlmseys got poses
sion Of Missouri; they disfranchised
voters, stole public money, and, be-
fore they were thrown out, managed
to sink the state in debt more deeply
than she was before or has beoR since.
The city of st. Louis fell into their
clutches, and there resulted such an
era Of municipal boodling as has not
been equaled anywhere west Of the
Ohio; some Of the gang are asw In
Jail and some have fed, but all had
safe harbor as long as the city remain-
ed under the spell OF those men who
are always maligning Missouri.
Even the Republican party organ
ization has suffered from the McJim-
sey influence. They got control of
the Globe Democrat, when Joseph
McCullagh died.. and its prestige has
been on the waDe ever since. Chaun-
cey l. Filley has been McJimseyized,
and many a better man than Filley
has been disgusted by the horde. II
was the voracious onslaught OF the
McJimseys when Mr.. Mckinley was
first elected that caused his secretary
Of the interior to exelaim: "Thost
Missouri office hunters are the d-dest
hungrlest outfit / ever sawl" Ever
Kerens, who started them out to d.
his scullery work, now repents th'
=
day he did it. He set them like a pacl
at the heels of the state, and thei
yelping has hecome so odious to decen
J folks that all thinking republican
7 are dlsgusted. Republican partisan
: like E. o, Stannard, Major Warner
J. v. G. KaFDes, Gardiner Lathro
and others eminent in various walk
in Missouri, have no more to do wit
: the McJimseys than with den Q
. snakes
8 But when the campaign is ovel
: the McJimsehs are laid on the shell
0 along with Fire Alarm Flanagan, th
: school fund canard and other Keren
; properties, and are heard from n
! more until another election draw
I nigh. This, indeed, is the only goo
q thing about them.
