Especial to News and Observer.D
Littlet1n, N. G., May 2).-The annual
sermon before the faculty and students
of Littleton Female College was preach
ed by Rev. R. S. Beaman of the North
Carolina Conference on Wednesday morn
ing. His text was Esther Ala. "And
who knoweth whether thou art come to
the kingdon for such a time as this?'
Briefly reviewing womans release, by
the Gospel of Christ, from intellectual
domestic and social bondage, he elabor-
ated on her mission to build up the Chris
tian Home the fruit of every nations
prosperity; to conserve the Christian
faith and save the world from stranding
on the wrecks of atheism; and to form
character, discriminating between that
and world-applauded success. With a
beautiful closing, he pointed them to the
Cross and its shadow showing that only
there could they become 'earths noblest
thing-a woman perfected.
The music was fine, having been pre-
pared by the college choir, directed by
Miss Milliken. The prayer was offered
by Rev. ]. D. Bundy and the lesson read
by Rev. R. A. Willis.
All during the day the art exhibit was
in progress. The display was made in
the new studio, and was seen to great
advantage. The pictures are a credit to
any institution. Miss Troy is making a
decided success of this department
At S:45 o'clock in the evening, the elo-
cution recital directed by Miss Redo was
given. The programme was a delightful
intermiXture of vocal and instrumental
music and elocution. The selections
were of high order and were executed
in a charming manner with ease and
grace.
The graduating exercises and literary
address by General ]. S. Carr took place

One thing which pleasantly sur
prised Gen. Wood during his recent
tour of inspection in Cuba was that
wherever he went the Cuban and
American flags were invariably
twined together in the public decora-
tions. In some towns we're to be
seen specimens of the work done by
the children, among which were
drawings of two flags, the stars and
stripes and the Cuban flag, twined
together or side by side. These were
to be seen in drawings on paper, and
in one town, where the mayor was
taken completely by surprise and
was mortified to find that he did not
have time to properly prepare for the
reception Of the governor general,
was to be found on the blackboard
of the school room fine specimens of
drawings of the two flags together.
The drawings were at the head of
the room, and all the children were
facing them.-Army and Navy Jour-
nal.

Value of Newspapers.

The current issue of Printers
Ink contains the following sensible
little article on the influence and
value of the press:
THE Hon. Charles E. Littlefield,
whom the New York Sun desig.
mates as one of the ablest and most
Independent and one of the most
cock-sure statesmen in Congress, is
reported as follows:
"If it were not for the newspa-
pers. the jobs which would go
through Congress are terrible to
contemplate. If there were no
newspapers at all, 1 don't believe 1
would be willing to trust myself
alone in tie House of Representa-
tives for fifteen minutes"
Here, in a nutshell, is the very
highest tribute to the power of the
press. They are checks on cor.
ruption and extravaganza. 1t is
not entirely what the newspapers
do, but the fear of what they will
not that acts as a healthy deterrent
So long as the newspapers are on
guard the public can rest assured
that if anything does go wrong
that it must be a very plausible
thing and have its defects most
skilfully concealed, or the news
papers will find it out and expose
it.

1t is said that the 25 cent-a. bush
ell tariff imposed on wheat imports
benefits the American farmer.
But does itP 1t prevents Canadian
wheat from coming to this &C untry.
and the 100000 surplus bushels
of Canada go to foreign mills in
stead of American ones, as would
be the natural course. Then the
competition of Canadian wheat
with ours in foreign markets con-
trolls and lowers the price of ours
there and the demands of the for
eign markets CONTROL prices here
because we are large exporters.
