Henry Coleman fell in a fit after the polls
were closed in the First ward last night,
and for time there was great excitement
in the election room. Mr.. Coleman was
the Democratic judge in the seventh pre-

incident to the election returns, it is said,
was too much for him. He was removed
to his home by friends shortly afterwards.

GRADUATION AT TUSKEGEE.
Booke r washington Advice to Those VINO
Received Diploma.

TuskEoEE, Ala, May 27--The closing
exercises OF the agricultural and mechanical
department of Tuskegee Normal and In
dustrial Institute were held this afternoon
in the school chapel. More than 100 d.
plomas were given.
When Principal Booker T. Washington
presented the diplomas and certificates
to the graduates he said:
sOf all the men and women who have
gone forth with the diploma or certificate
Of this institution, after diligent inyestiga-
ness. They are busy in schooiroom, neld,
shop, home or church They are busy
because they have placed themselves IN

world wants done in this generation. They
because they have learned the disgrace OF
idleness and the sweetness Of labor. One
of the greatest embarrassments that con-
fronts our school at the present time Is
our inability to supply any large proportion
Of the demands that are constantly coming
to us from the people Of both races, North,
and South, for the services OF men and
women who have been trained at the
Tuskegee Institute.
II believe that our men and women are
in demand also because they have learned
to forget themselves and to 30 immense
themselves in some kind Of service that they

One inch Of progress is worth more than
yard of complaint This lesson. too; our
men and women have mastered in a large
measure.
LET me urge upon you not to overrate
your own importance. Do not become
overbearing and self-important. Be sim
pie and humble, and If you have any ele,
ment OF value in your character the world
will soon find it out. There is great strength
in simplicity. Simplicity and humbleness
are the signs Of greatness. No man who
actually does something, regardless Of race
or color, to help forward the progress Of
the world, is permanently left without
reward and encouragement.

The Car and the Massacres.

Tho time that has passed since the
Kishineff massacre has brought moth
ing to mitigate the atrocities first re-
ported. The delegate sent from Berlin
bv the German Jewish Aid Society re-
ports the demolition Of 100 houses, the
sacking of 600 shops and the rendering
homeless Of 10000 persons. The killed
numbered nearly so, and the injured
we're nearly 900. And the Jews through
out the empire are living in terror OF
further outrages.
The statement put forward by the
Official Messenger Of st. Petersburg, deny
ing the authenticity of the letter from
Minister PLEHvE which revealed fore
knowledge of the massacre, shows that
the Russian Government is not unmindful
of the opinion entertained of it by the rest
OF the world. The Car, however, can
not afford to rest content with the pub
lication of a letter concerning what has
passed. To a suspicion of inetliciency
there will be added a conviction Of in
sincerity unless he let's his hand be felt
strong enough to make the spirit OF riot
against his Jewish subjects afraid to
show its face.

The End OF the Stock Company.

Even the return to the New York stage
of the long-absent EDWARD HARR1GAN
cannot compensate for the dsbandment
of the stock company which Mr.. HENRY
V. DoNNELLY has maintained at the
Murray Hill Theatre for the past i've
years. MIR. DoNNELLY's players have
not offered such finished representations
as the more ambitious and expensive
companies on Broadway are able to give |;
but they have been the nearest approach
to the o!d-time stock companies that this
city has seen for several years and, Civ
ing always dignifled and conscientious
performances have afforded to theatre
goers the only chances they have had
for seeing some Of the most famous OF
the older plays
Mr.. DoNNELLY says he has come to the
end of the list Of plays on which he can
draw. When he formed his company,
he relied on plays Of old date; but each
wear he drew nearer to tho current Sue
cesses, until during the past season he
produced dramas which had been seen
for the first time within less than year
previously. The charge for the right to
perform these was greater than he could
afford to pay, yet he could not afford not
to play them. The result is that he has
decided to dsband his company.
Few of the so-called classical plays OF
English literature endure on the stage
to-day, and these few have been drawn
upon during the past season, which has
witnessed the production at the Murray
Hill Of She Stops to Conquer and
The School for Scandal" The number
of plays Of twenty-five and twenty years
ago that appeal to playgoers OF to-day
appears to be small, though it would
seem that some of RoBERTsoNs plays,
of ALBERY's and of BYRoN's might have
proved popular and profitable If they
could be had at not too great cost.
Some of BoUCIcAULT's older plays are
obtainable, and are still attractive-a
Boucicault cycle ought yet to be profit
able-and there should be others that
would draw. But the production OF a
different play every week for forty weeks
year makes great hole in the catalogue
of plays and necessitates drawing on
more modern dramas each year.
Mr.. DoNNELLY must have produced
nearly 200 plays during his five years
tenancy of the Murray Hill Theatre
and as he says that he cannot play a
piece more than one week, he has prac-
tically exhausted the drawing powers
of that number of dramas. The others
that can be performed without paying
too large a royalty are too few for him to
risk the success of a sixth season on.
The company Of the American Theatre
is likewise to be disbanded. With the dis
appearance of these two organizations
the only real stock companies in the city
will be those of the German and the
Jewish theatres.

THE 14TH REGIMENT CASES.
Action Of tho Governor Approved by Gen
Roe and Gen. Henry.

Persons familiar with the cases Of Lieut..
Joseph T. Griffin, Sergt James F. Nc
Nally and Private Joseph L. German OF
Company D. Fourteenth Regiment, National
GuardI said yesterday that Gov. Odell's
action in remitting the fine OF 500 imposed
on Lieut.. Griffin and in reinstating McNally
and German was approved by Major-Gen.
Roe and Adjutant General Henry. All Of
these officers had previously approved the
findings Of the court-martial which fined
the Lieutenant for an alleged false entry in
company records and dismissed McNally
and German.
It appears that after tn g sentences were
approved Anthony j. Griffin, attorney for
all the men, took their cases to the Supreme
Court in Kings county on writs Of certiorari.
Mr.. Griffin said in his moving papers that
the evidence adduced before the court
martial did not justify the sentences i'm
posed. Before the matter was decided
BY the court. 1t was taken up again by
Gen. Roe and Adiutant- General Henry, both
Of whom recommended that the sentences
Of the court martial be revoked. The
Recommendation was approved by Gov.
Odell. Accordingly Lieut.. Grifin's fine
was remitted and McNally and German
were reinstated.

WARSHIPS TO VISIT KIEL.
Tho Battleship Alabama, Two Cruisers and
Cunboat Ordered There.

WARRINGTON. May 27.-Another instance
Of President Roosevelt's intention 70 show
the German Emperor and Government that
the United States Is more than willing to
meet their neighborly advances half way
was afforded to-day by the receipt of word
from the President that he desired squad
ron Of American warships to visit KEEL dur
Ing the big regatta to be held there on juno
rs. This word came to the Navy Depart
ment, where 1t was described by officials
as IAN intimation.' A battleship, TWO pro-
tected cruisers and gunboat will go to
Kiel.
The action Of the President was based
primarily on an invitation sent by Emperor
William two months ago for the North At
lantio battleship squadron to attend the kiel
Regatta, 1t having been announced that the
squadron would 30 to Europe this summer.
explained that the squadron was attached
to the home station and was to make trans
atlantic cruise for practice only; In TACT,
would only 60 to the Azores and would not
touch the mainland OF Europe.

that the invitation was declined because
tho United States did not care TO be on
friendly terms with Germany. and as much
was said In the newspapers.
1neTe WAS dnOlneT OugUIeah VI ~ bioA'i.'
IN the German press when the european
squadron went to Marseilles this month
to greet President Loubet OF France on his
return from Africa. The German news
papers thought this was direct ahront
to Emperor William, following so closely
as 1t did after the declination OF his IN
vitation for a squadron to visit KEEL.
Prompt action was taken by the Navy
Department to-day when the Presidents
'intimation' that the European squadron go
to Kiel was received. This squadron has
recently been reduced from five vessels 10
two by the assignment OF the. cruisers
Albany, Raleigh and Cincinnati to the
Asiatio station. The resent squadron
consists OF the cruiser Chicag and the
gunboat Albany, but the cruiser San Fran
cisco is now on her way to join the seshlps.
At a consultation this afternoon between
Acting Secretary Of the Navy Darling ana
Rear Admiral Taylor, Chief Of the Bureau
Of Navigation, 1t was decided that bat
tleship should be assigne to the European
station for the Kiel visit, and the Alabama
was selected. She is now at the Brooklyn
navy yard, undergoing. repairs. She
will leave there on June 5 for Lisbon, where
the Chicago. the San Francisco ana p tne
Machias will assemble also under Rear
Admiral Charles s. Cotton, the present
commander-in-chief Of the naval force on
the European station. Should the Alabama
commander, Capt. Colby W, Chester, find
that he cannot get to Lisbon In time to
permit an early start for kiel, he Will meet
the three other ships at some more north
erly port, and they will proceed thence
in company to German waters. The Shl-
cago, which is Admiral Cotton's flagship,
and the Machias are now at Villefranche.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-05-28
publicly and somewhat exultantly con-
eratulated the President, as follows:

"w,thou, doub, the person whom tho Inhabitants
OF those parts Of this country which depend upon

the United States. He took grave risk when no

apprehension Of wide distress. That he was some

party OF which no Is the utular head we arc neither
prepared nor much concerned TO deny. Twas plain
from the nrst that was the apprehension OF general
suffering that was his chief motive In intervening.
The Intervention was at great risk. even OF inc
dignity OF his Office. While tho success Of It was
stu doubtful II was described by an Indignant and
well meaning patriot as q national humiliation.
And indeed II would have como near thatn the
President had interviewed In vain. But the
event has Justified him. HIS Intervention, In spite
of tho preliminary failure has been crowned With
success that not only argued good deal OF skilful
negotiation on the part Of somebody. but also At
tested the respect in which the Presidents own
character for fairness and impartialty was held by
both con,ending and excited factions the enofS

spec,ful blunder. That It did harm Is due to the
Presidents own eagerness to put an end TO situa-
ton which. in his own word. had become intoler-
able. He stands higher in tho confidence OF his
fellow citizens than he did before"
When the Times was thus urging the
President to interfere, and thus applaud
ing him for interfering, was it treach-
erously seeking to promote the wide
spread and not diminishing distrust
and fear" Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT which it
suddenly discovers, seven months later,
as the direct consequence Of that inter-
ference? We don't believeit.
Our purpose in exhibiting this remarka-
BILE contrast Is not to humiliate our neigh
Dor, or even to implant in its mind the
germ of suspicion of the fallibility of its
own mental concepts. 1t is to spare Mr..
ROOSEVELT some Of the pain which the
Ne,o York Times's language Of yesterday
might otherwise inflict upon him.
