N o R A GEE DUALITY
Says Isaac Fisher-Y0ung Negro Girl NOciferOusly Applauded at
 Elks Theater.

Old Confederates, bankers, business men, lawyers, doctors and many other of the most prominent white men of this city and section joined with hun dreds of negroes in welcoming w. r.
 Vernon, the negro register of the United States Treasury at Washington
 who delivered the commencement .ad- dress at the annual exercises of the Branch Normal College, the negro branch of the State University. at the Elks Theater here yesterday afternoon The entire lower floor was occupied by white people, many of whom were ladies and the gallery and balcony crowded with negroes
 To impress upon the negroes of this community the fact that they are always willing to give them a chance to make good men and women of themselves, the white people stood with them when the College pupils sang "sAmerica' while a magnificent AmeriGan flag dropped to the center of the stage. When Joeanna c. Tol- lette, young negro girl in her vale dictory declared that there is no law on the statute books to prevent ne- gro from raising hogs and chickens and tilling the soil with a view to niking an honest living" she was applauded enthusiastically by the white people, in fact so vociferous was the applause the girl was forced to come to the front of the stage and bow her appreciation. Her address was one of the finest ever heard at Branch Normal exercise here and through her the sentiments of Profess scr Isaac Fisher, the brilliant negro principal of the college who is doing much to uplift the negro and to eli minate the race equality idea among some, were expressed.
 Indeed an inspiring scene was en- acted throughout the afternoon when the white people repeatedly applauded the negro graduates and especially the words of Professor Isaac Fisher who to bring about harmony between the white and colored races, without preaching race equality, were bearing fruit, and that the negro boy and girl of today realized that honesty and in dustrious methods was the best plan after all.
 In his address Vernon said that he was elate1 to observe the splendid sympathy for the negro as was dis played by the white people of Arkan- sas He said it was his intention to return to Washington and tell the white and blacks that the anti-negro sentiment attributed to Arkansas was a misrepresentation of the worst type.
 The graduation exercises only re- flected the remarkable success being attained by Professor Fisher in edu- eating the pupils of the Branch Nor nal College in the proper way. Each of the graduates upon whom class honors were bestowed, acquitted him. self admirably and the musical num- bers, under the personal direction of Fisher demonstrated the success of his work in another as well as an educational line.

 Benediction by Choir only.
 It is generally known that Fisher is growing weary of his work here and th,at he is considering other work that is being offered him. It may be re- marked that the wealthy negro capi- talist and banker, Charles Banks, of the negro town of Mound Bayou, had reporter present to report to him oil the commencement exercises of the Branch Normal College and te put Fisher in touch with him for future consideration.
 The Graphic is reliably informed that secret but we'll laid plan to have Fisher removed from the prin- cipalship of the school, will be made by parties here when the Board meeas at Fayetteville next Friday. It is not known what action the board will take, but one thing is certain; when Isaac Fisher is driven from Pine Bluff or Arkansas by trick or treach- cry, negro though he is, it is due him that this community will be much the loser, for he has been a good citizen, if we have ever had one.

lCCai HlSh SCHOOL was the city nOn- ored by the presence of Federal jur- ist as the orator of the occasion, an event which as Hon. s. NJ. Taylor pointed out, was happy augury of the increasing relationship between the courts and the educational mach inery of the state. The distinguish ed guest of the evening vas Hon Jac- ob Trieber, of Little Rock.
 Judge Trieber spoke on the splendid opportunities that the High School of fers graduates. Education has made remarkable progress in recent years and the public schools have not fail ed to keep abreast of that advance ment he said. Every pupil who has had chance to share of their bene- fits is we'll prepared with the advice of parents and teachers to choose a career that will bring to fruition his highest efficiency in the teacher when the pupils consult them as to the choice of their life's work. He eau toned them not fear failure, saying it is by reason of q failure that we are put on our metal. Tt is a mis- take to suppose that great opportunit- ies make great men. It is great men who make great opportunities" While life should not be altogether play, it should not be altogether work either.
 Judge Trieber's table address was listened to with profound attention, and left deep impress upon the members of the graduating class.
 Miss Dora Waterman, daughter of Colonel and Mrs. Gus Waterman, the salutatorian of the class, was the first member of the class introduced by Professor H. F. Srygley, who pre- sided. She spoke of the exceptional educational privileges that her class enjoyed and of the responsibilities those privileges involved. Without her manuscript and with perfect ease she elicited the hearty applause of her auditors.
 Miss Willie May Toney, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. w. M Toney, as essay ist, chose line from Browning's "An- drea Del Sarto" for her paper and displayed much grace and used her reasonant voice to excellent ,advan- tage.
 
 A classical and charmingly rendered piano selection by Miss Readma Dans- by, 'sCantice Hongrois,' formed pleasant interLude and later in the program the other musical number "A Ribbon, A Ring and Rose was sung with delightful effect by Miss Ethel Schloss
 With rare self possession and good voice and logical development in thought, Earl s. Wood the class ora tor, delivered an able oration on Alexander Hamilton"
 To Miss Elleine Harrison, daughter of J. J. Harrison, belongs the credit of delivering one of the. best valedic- tory addresses ever heard here. Sketch ing hastily the difficulties the class overcame in their four years of High School life, touching briefly of the friendships formed among fellow pu- pills and teachers, she paid beautiful tribute to the superintendent and the corps of teachers to whose tutorship the graduates owed so much. Possessed of musical voice and a pleasing manner, Miss Harrison called forth prolonged applause from her many admirers.
 The diplomas were presented by President s. M. Taylor of the School Board, who in a few introductory re- marks dwelt on the sacrifices which

PARIS CAFES INCREASE
PRICES, FOOD BEING HIGH
Socialists Want Government to
Abandon Customs DUTY

PARIS, Sept. 10.-The dear food
crisis in France is becoming more Sc
rious every day, and the increase in
prices is alarming. Shop keepers, wine
merchants and restaurant proprietors.
as well as their respective clients, are
deeply concerned.
Three thousand persons attended a
meeting of restaurant proprietors and
wine merchants recently 1t was unan-
imously decided to. pay part of the ex-
ira cost of food and wines As a be-
ginning, and in order not to squeeze
the consumer too suddenly at the out
set, the price of wines was raised 10
centimes per litre
Altogether it is a poor outlook for
the already heavily taxed Partisan, for
the price of every article of food has
gone up. Nearly every restaurant in
the city has made an advance of from
20 to SS per cent in its menu prices.
A parliamentary commission, repre-
senting the socialists, has already met
to inquire into the problem. A deputa-
tion from this body will wait on the
French premier to urge him to take
steps to alleviate the misery which is
sure to fall on the poor workers
If the premier has no suggestion TO
make, the deputation will go the length
of urging that the government shall
lower the heavy octroi and customs du-
ties, which, by taxing the necessaries
of life. weigh heavily on the masses at
present.

she writes.
The manager of hippodrome saw in
her great possibilities as a circus rider.
But. disliking this career she made her
debut first as an actress, meeting with
failure that would have crushed an
ordinary spirit.
I'm Paris a woman's career is a very
slow achievement. Courage is vir-

FLAGS FOR CORONATION

Dealers Begin to Prepare for
Celebration Next June

LONDON, Sept. 10.-Makers of flags
bunting and street decorations are
working overtime in view of the coro-
nation, although it will not take place
until next June.
1t is quite conservative estimate
to say that at least S2,5OO. 900 worth of
nass and other emblems will be shown
In the London streets the day King
George is crowned" said the London
manager of large firm of flag makers
who supply the wholesale houses.
And of that value he said, lat least
s1.000,000 will represent brand new
flags.
There is every indication that the
most popular flag will be the naval en-
sign. King George is known as the
King Admiral
Union jacks are more than holding
their own, but a vast quantity of colo
NAL flags has been ordered. Canadian
Australian, New Zealand Cape Colony
Transvaal and Natal flags are being
heavily ordered.
1t is necessary for the wholesale
houses to buy their flags early, for the
number of trained flag making hands in
the country is limited"

HYPNOTIST CALLED
TO CURE CzARINA
Empress Suffers From Heart
Trouble and Melancholia
Induced by Fear
Especial Gable to The Call

BERLIN, Sept. 1O-In consequence of
the stubborn nature of the czarina's
illness, which is a combination of vari-
Gus complaints, it has been decided to
endeavor to cure her with the help of
hypnotism. 1t was announced that the
czarina, in her distress. had recourse
to cocaine and now she is known to be
suffering from heart trouble, brought
on by nervous prostration.
The primary cause of all her 'trou-
bles is constant fear, in which she has
lived for years and which developed
melancholia. a series of cures have
been attempted but they have proved
unsuccessful, because they did not
reach the root of the sickness, which
lies not in the body. but in the mind.
The present cure at Bad Nauheim is
a superficial affair, and her doctors
realize that it can not possibly achieve a
complete cure.
Consequently two eminent German
specialists were summoned by the czar
to examine the empress. They advised
him, in view of the unusual nature of
the case, to depart from ordinary meth
DDS of healing and allow an experienced
hypnotist to bring about an improve
ment in the czarina's condition. A
hypnotist has been selected for the
purpose but his name is held a pro-
found secret.

UNBEATABLE COSTUMES
DESIGNED FOR WOMEN
Dress Makers Give Way to War
on Fashion Changes

LONDON, Sept 10.-Women have, at
last revolted against the tyranny of
rapidly changing fashion which makes
frockS out of date a few weeks after
they have come from the dress makers.
( In increasing number they are de-
manding a costume which they can
wear as long as they please without
mourning the stigma of being hopeless
ly out of fashion.
Such has been their insistence that at
last dress makers, giving way to their
demand. have designed the ''undatable
costume" which avoids all eccentricity
and can not go out of fashion however
long it is worn. There is nothing about
the costume to label it.
The models shown are devoid of trim
ming. are neat and plain in cut, and
there are no fantastic touches to pro-
claim the costume out of date about
three months after 1t has been Gre
ated.
Indeed. the undatable costume can
only be described negatively. 1t has
not a tight skirt. 1t has not a full one.
1t has not short sleeves. 1t has not
flowing sleeves 1t has no. trimming.
1t has no frills. Neither is it long nor
short.
Fashions change so rapidly that the
woman who does not wish to wear
clothes conspicuously out of fashion, or
whose dress allowance is not unlimited
should be very careful how she chooses
her clothes" said a modiste. "She
should avoid altogether any fashion in
any way exaggerated.
The sensible woman hesitates be-
tween her desire for mode that tempts
her fancy and the consideration How
long will the style last?"

HUNGRY MEN AND WOMEN
SEIZE DESERTED CHURCH
Unemployed Attempt to Attract
Attention to Needs

MANCHESTER, Sept. 9.-About 200
unemployed invaded and took posses
sion of ST. Martins church here and
remained encamped in it all one night.
Their leaders said. after their evic-
ton, that the seizure was designed to
call public attention to the fact that
the labor exchanges did not meet the
wants of homeless and workleSS men,
and that nothing was done for them.
Amid the dust and dirt of four years
desertion, for the building has been
closed that time, the men slept and
rested, and in the early morning, after
the passing of a raging thunderstorm,
the interior presented strange spec
tacle.
Two hundred men, hungry and worn
out, sat or lounged about, and Pendle-
bury, their leader, vigorously ha-
rangued them from the chancel steps,
urging them to resistance against the
forces of order till some attention was
paid to their. needs.
With brooms borrowed from cottages
around, the tenants began to put
their house in order. and they quickly
made a place a bit cleaner and more
comfortable.
They did not, however. enjoy the
fruits of their labor, for barely was 1t
finished when they were challenged by
the police, who ordered the men to
leave the building.
There was a momentary show of re-
sistance, and then Pendlebury led the
men out, being satisfied that the au-
thority of the trustees had been given
for their eviction.
The mems leader now states that the
occupation of other buildings Of the
kind is contemplated. and that these
tactics will be supplemented by a mass
meeting called on the scene of former
unemployed riots.

INDIGNANT, singer
To REJOIN CHANLER
Il Have Not Wheedled Him Out
of Fortune Shrieks Lima
Cavalieri
Especial Gable 10 The Call

PARIS, Sept. 10-Reiterating the
statement that she gave out last Tues
day. Lima Cavalieri today indignantly
denied that she had forced her hus-
band, Robert Chanler, to turn over his
property to her or that rupture had
taken place between them.
The opera singer pleaded illness at
her residence in the Avenue Messine
today, but she communicated with the
correspondent through her maid At
times the services of the maid were
hardly required, for Cavalieri's voice,
pitched to high key by reason of her
anger, could be heard plainly through
out the apartment.
Il expect to join Mr.. Chanler Just as
soon as 1 am strong enough to travel" :"
she shrieked. Il have not wheedled
him out of his fortune and have not
thrown him aside in favor of Prince
Dolgorouki. The story is fearfulIy ex-
aggerated.
1T is true that, both being of artistic
temperament, Mr.. Chanler and L have
not always agreed on every subject, but
we have both seen enough of the world
and it's ways to be broad minded. and
each has allowed the other considera b lie
latitude. This fact has been seized
upon by rivals of mine and enemies of
my husband to our detriment'' -
