successful and encouraging one.
Thirteen additional pupils have
been enrolled, making the total
enrolment 6o7. OF the total en-

either that the the scholastic popu-

latter we hope is the true reason.

A Delightful Evening.

One OF those gatnerlngS WHICH
add pleasure to life, and take from
existence its dreadful monotomy,
took place last evening at the hos
pitable home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. J.
Cooke. The occasion was rendered
in honor of Miss Annie Breeder,
a very popular young lady of Cuero,
who has been visiting at Mr.. and
Mrs. Cookies for some time.
The feature of the evening was
an apron hemming contest in which
the young men had an opportunity
to show their skill with needle and
thread, and il is said the work of
some of the bachelors present was
so skilfully executed that the ladies
were filled with envy. The gentle
ment were required to sit on the
floor at the lady's feet and with
more or less EXPERIENCES hem an
apron while the lady drew a like
ness of her cavalier of the needle
and thread. Much amusement was
furnished by the novel entertain
ment and some of the ladies dis
PLAYED considerable ability as
sketch artists. For all this. prizes
were offered, which resulted as
follows: First ladies prize was
tied for by Misses Anita Kowalski
and Matte Hicks, and in cutting
the cards Miss Kowalski was the
successful one.
The prize for the best hemmed
apron, was also tied for, both
Wayne Wood and w. ID. Cowley
proving themselves adopts in the
use of the needle. The tie was
decided by a cut of the cards and
Wayne Wood was the winner.
Those present and enjoying this
most agreeable affair were the fol
lowing:
Miss Annie Breeder, guest of
honor; Misses Alberta Archer, Ka-
Uterine Childress. Julia Bollack,
Anna Kennedy, Edith Foster. Rosa
Stowe, Anita Kowalski, Dora and
Nellie Kimball, Anita Cooke.

w. bennett, +. J. Combd, w. ID.
Cowley, Jeo Cooke.
Besides the apron hemming and
sketching, music, dancing and
other amusements contributed to
the success Of the occasion. De-
lightful refreshments of pineapple
ices and cake were served, aud the
event came to a close about ~
o'clock, amid expressions of much
pleasure in the evenings entertain
ment.

But Royal Neighbors VIII Have Trien-

Interest in this afternoons session
of the Royal Neighbors is concentrated

Of II to Is. 1t is claimed that a great
many of the delegates failed to under
stand the full purpose back of the mo-
ton and that as a result of this pre-
vailing misunderstanding the motion
failed to secure the just attention it
deserved This afternoon the question
viii be reintroduced and there is no
doubt but the motion will carry. This
will effect a saving of close to $4,000
by reducing the number of conven-
tions. At the same time the officers
elected at this session of the camp
will serve for a period of three years
! in place of two years. The majority of
the present officers of the supreme
camp are behind the movement.
The action of the credentials COM
mittee yesterday afternoon in seating
Mrs. Myra McElliott as delegate from
California will probably be reconsid-
cred. Mrs. McElliott and Mrs. Lula
Case both claim the place of delegate
from that state through a mistake
which was made in the local camps
of the state. It is stated that as a re-
suit of the action to reconsider Mrs.
Case will be seated in place of the
recommendation of the credentials
committee. SOS
There is5an evident feeling preva-
lent that Kansas is trying to annex
all of the honersr and emeluments in
I sight, and considerable jealousy has
arisen in the hearts of the delegates
from the outsider states. Kansas is
the second largest state IN the order,

who held a meeting in this city sew

tiOns of censure against James H.

of the general agents from widely

had been cut off they had come to
New York to learn where they were

Among the visitors were the gen

Portland, Ne D. F. Cobb of Kansas
City said:
My efforts have been entirely for
the last few months to instruct the
agents under me to conserve the busi-
ness already done. That is to see that
there are no lapses and to keep up re
newals. This has been done rather
than attend to any new business.

straighten out the difficulty all right"
Senator Chauncey Depew and Third
Vice President George T. Wilson were
examined by superintendent Hen
bricks. Mr.. Hendricks hopes to finish
his inquiry this week but his report. it
was said today, will not be submitted
to Governor Higgins before the middle
of next week.
It was learned positively today that
an offer of the proposed Craftsmanship
of the society, recently made to Gov

Postmaster General Delivers Com
mencement Address at Urbana.

Urbana, Ill, June THE exercises
connected with the commencement of
the University Of Illinois today were
attended by a large crowd of people
from all parts of the state. Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou delivered the
commencement address. Introduced by
President James, Postmaster General
Cortelyou was warmly greeted and his
address frequently applauded.
Postmaster General Cortelyou spoke
of Education and Citizenship" He
said in part:
Our modern educational system IS
becoming more rational. It takes ac-
count of actual needs; it deals less with
the theoretical and more with the prac-
tical. 1t looks to the DEVELOPMENT of
character as we'll as to the acquisition
of knowledge 1t makes the experience
of the past serve the purposes of the
present. It aims to educate the student
not alone as an individual but as an
integral part Of the body polite. It an
dcipates his responsibilities to the state
and prepares him to meet them.
The educational institutions of the
land contribute to an enlightened citi-
zenship and the nation demands much
of the men and women of education.
Their opportunities have been great;
their contributions to the public veal
should be propOrtionately great. They
must make their opportunities serve not
only their own. but the general good.

Jerry Simpson.

OF all the political chips and wket-
stones the Populist convulsion threw
upon the public stage Jerry Simpson
was decidedly the most picturesque and
the most interesting. He was canny,
too, n1onstrous canny, and as shifty
with demagogue dogma as any Of
them. Not quite so able as Tom Wat
son, not nearly so energetic as William
v. Allen, he Of the everlasting oTatious
he was more popular than either and q
more entertaining speaker. He could
be dramatic, too, and the scene whens
in theatric fervor, he tore to shreds an
old overcoat on the floor of the house
while disc 1ssing one of Mr.. Springer's
''popgun" tariffs showed that Mr.. r.Simp-
son would have been a better thespian
than he ever was a statesman.
He was a downright, hearty fellow,
democratic as a hunting shirt, frank,
open, manly at all times. except when
discussing politics. He had been a sail
or, and it was late in life before he en-
tered the political field. He seems to
have acquired a false conception Of the
game He appears to have conceived
that public ignorance was stronger
than public intelligence and that preju-
dice was a better quality to which to
appeal than principle. Washington

THEY GET LITTLE SYMPATHY.
White Men Cause Arrest of Negro
Women for Robbing Them.

The police were called upon this
morning to investigate three little rob-
berries which occurred last night. The
result was that three women were ar
rested, two negroes and a white Wo-
man. With one exception the cases
are similar to all other 'robberies'
where a woman of the street is con-
cerned. The exception was in the case
of Lena McGruder. cOlored, who is
charged with stealing about 5000
worth Of jewelry from the room Of
John Olney, an old negro who rooms
at 522 Kansas avenue and is janitor of
the building. The woman came to his
utensil, and after she was gone the
old man missed some boarded jew
elry. The girl was arrested, but has
failed to confess to the theft.
A white woman who refused to give
her name and was booked as "MOllie

woman approached him on East Sixth

feel of his pockets and finally wander
away with his purse and $27 in cash.
The girl calmly refuses to talk to the
officers.
Jane Brown, a co1ored damsel, who
was recently arrested for street walk
ing. was re-arrested on the same
charge, although q man named Thur
her announced to the police that she
had robbed him of SIS. When a
white man tells the police that he has
been touched" by a colored woman,
he gets small sympathy, and this lack
Of sympathy so chilled Thurber that
he disappeared without waiting to
make a formal complaint against the
