BIG CLASS AT ANNAPOLIS.
More Than Two Hundred Will Re
ceiYe DiplOmis This Year

celVe diplomas This Year.
Annapolis, Md, June 1.-The lar
gest class that ever left the Annapo-
lis Naval Academy at one time will
be graduated this week, the COM
mencement week exercises for the
200 midshipmen beginning today
with the official reception to the
board of visitors. During the next
four days there will be the usual
round of drills and practical exer-
cises. Friday will be commencement
day, and it is expected that Secretary
Metcalf will deliver an address and
present the diplomas to the gradu-
ates. On Saturday the first, second
and third classes will embark on the
several ships of the cruising squad
ron for the annual winter cruise The
class to be graduated, will be the
largest that ever left the institution

200 members. The class of 1907 was
larger by eight members than this
years class, but was graduated in
three separate divisions, one section
of eighty-six receiving diplomas in
September, 1906, a second section
of fifty being graduated in Febru-
airy, 1907, while the last section of
seventy-two was graduated at the
regular time in June.

still reverberating over Texas, yet it
is dollars to doughnuts that not 10
per cent of the critics will exert
themselves to secure higher stand
ard in the next legislature.
The people are primarily respon-
sible for all that is done in our gov
eminent, state and national. They
get just as good service from public
servants as they deserve. They could
get the best if they cared enough
about it to elect the sort of men from
pected. Business men, farmers, pro-
fessional men, all classes of citizens
know perfectly well that the laws of
their state make or mar the states
prosperity; they know that all indus
try is more or less affected favorably
or adversely by the laws that are
enacted b-ennially; they are not
backward about expressing their in
dignation when unwise laws are
passed, yet they almost invariably do
nothing to improve the breed of the
lawmakers.
Right now is the time when the
citizen ought to speak or forever af-
ter hold his peace. Candidates for the
legislature are out after votes. If the
citizen does nothing and the wrong
man is elected, who is to blame but
the citizen? Remember, failure to
vote on the part of any good citizen
vote for the unfit candidate.

is requested for the following, which
is addressed to "all friends of the
orphans in Texas
A word as to the orphans in the
Texas Presbyterian home and school
at Files. The health of the children
continues good, they having escaped
the measles, mumps and smallpox,
which have been all around us.
There are forty-seven children
now in the home, with three more
expected by June /. and a number
of applications pending.
We have just sent out our first or
phan, on account of reaching the age
of is, at which time they go from
the home for themselves. Happily,
in this case, the young lady goes out
into home of her own, having been
married on the goth of this month to
worthy young man of the commun-
ity.
The school has gone on regularly,
and will continue to do so for sever
al weeks, and the children seem to
be making good progress.
The boys, under the supervision of
the superintendent of the farm, are
cultivating about sixty or seventy
acres in corn, cotton and garden,
and are harvesting this week a good
crop of oats and hay.
The new building is progressing
nicely, being now ready for the roof
and is to be completed by August l.
When completed we will be able to
house from ninety to 100 childre
besides having two good school
rooms and a chapel.
On the whole, the work and con-
dition of the home was never in bet
ter shape and with brighter pros
poets. Only one thing looks dark to
those in charge-and that is the re-
ceipts for May have for some reason
fallen short, and we have scarcely
enough money to meet our monthly
bills. This fact causes great anxiety
on the part of the management, as
this is the beginning of the sum

from home on the part of many, the
receipts at all orphanages are small

Being lover of nature and a man
who has spent the greater part of his
life in the mQuntains, an old miner

is just such place as would prove
attractive to a man of his habits
1t is doubtful II the claim is worth
