Final Military German

The final military german at the
Virginia Military Institute took
place Monday night in the spacious
gymnasium, and the occasion was
one of rare beauty and attraction.
Handsome decorations adorned the
walls and ceiling. The young
gentlemen we're dressed in white
and wore purple sashes, and their
fair partners we're gowned in white
and carried handsome punches of
American Beauty roses.
The opening figure was intricate
and spectacular. and its execution
was heartily applauded by the spec
tators. The Old Virginia Reel was
one of the closing features of the
figure. An unusual and rather ex-
citing stunt was the turning out of
the electric lights and while the
room was in darkness each cadet
hunted for his partner with an
electric flash light lantern.
Cadet Edwin Hodge, Jr., of Hen
derson, KY, president of the ger
man, led the opening figure. with
Miss Carolyn Banks. beautiful
young lady of the same town, who
wore dainty white gown trimmed
in pearls and embroidered net. Her
ornaments were fraternity pins,
pearls and diamonds.
Among the young ladies of Lex
ington in the opening figure were
Miss Mary Champe, Miss Eliza
beth Cross and Miss Margaret
Robinson.

DIR. Plunkett Delivered Sermon to
Cadets Sunday

Rev. ]. T. Plunkett. d. D. pastor
of the First Presbyterian church OF
Birmingham, Ala. delivered the
commencement sermon before the
cadets Sunday morning IN the Stone
wall Jackson Memorial Hall, in the
presence of a large and appreciative
audience. Rev. DR.. Alfred T. Ora
ham and Rev. w. Cosby Bell assist
ed in the services. The music was
led by the V. VI. l. band, and the
battalion of cadets joi Led heartily in
the songs, Seated on the platform
we're General Nichols and members
OF the faculty, members OF the Board
of Visitors. distinguished alumni
and visitors.
DR.. Plunkett's sermon was an
eloquent and able discourse. based
on Paul's exhortation to Timothy
to be strong and endure hardship as
good soldier of Jesus Christ. BY
way Of introduction to his sermon
the preacher said that he had select
ed the soldier lite as his theme for
the reason that be had been invited
to preach to the graduating class OF
a great military school. Unless
human nature has changed in the
last twenty years, be said, the COM
mencement season is one of mingled
pleasure and sadness. AS young
men go out from their alma mater
the question arises, what shall be,
what shall l do? What aspirations,
what standards? The ideals that q
a man sets before him are the tokens
by which to judge himself AS q
man thinketh in his heart, so is he. -
The sermon was discussed under
three heads; Obedience, discipline
devotion to leader. Lessons were
drawn from ancient and modern
history illustrating the soldier life
consecrated to country and human
ity. But above and beyond this
military life was a warfare OF the
spirit, under the leadership of the
Captain of our salvation, even Christ
Jesus. In this is lived the largest
life, the most useful and the happiest
DR.. Plunkett closed with the hope
that each one might be able to say
at the end of the journey with Paul:
Il have fought good fight, have
kept the faith"

A RUBBER CRAZE
SEXES. ENGLAND

London is just now in the throes of
the greatest rubber craze of the
times. Rubber stocks from all parts
of the earth are being madly sought
and dealt in. While such a craze
cannot have permanent effect uD-
on the rubber market, it will prob
ably prove an advertisement for the
industry of rubber growing, which
just now holds an important position
locally. The following special cable
gram on the subject was sent out
from London on February q:
LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Stock Ex-
change, to use the picturesque Ian
guage of a prominent member, is
still eating rubber and drinking oil,
It has nothing else to live on,
OF course, the rubber boom is much
the bigger affair. The shares are
buoyantly active, many new COM
panies are being foated and many
more are to come. In today's news
papers there are no fewer than seven
prospectuses, inviting the modest sum
of $4,OOO,OOO from the public gone
rubber mad.
1t is not too much to say that the
boom is of quite an unprecedented
nature, and makes the Kaffir revival
of a decade ago seem trivial affair
Day after day for weeks past the
market has been a confused and ex-
cited turmoil. The brokers confess
to eager clients their ignorance even
of the wierd names of many COM

People who cannot afford to lose

RESTING ON ARMS

Battle Between Estrada and Madriz
Forces Not Expected to Take Place
For Several Days-Position of Op-
posing Armies - Estrada's Induce
ments to Volunteers.
New Orleans, May 13.-Tha threat
ened battle between the Estrada and
Madriz forces in Nicaragua may not
occur for several days yet, according to
a dispatch received here 1t is reported
that the largest division of the Madriz
forces is now encamped about eight
miles south of Bluefields. A portion of
the invading army has been left at
Rama, to flank the opposing army of
insurgents.
1t is believed that the Madriz forces
are awaiting the arrival of the steam
ship Venus. That the Venus has put
into a port Of Central or South Amer
lea, to change its register, is not de-
MED by the Madriz representatives at
New Orleans, and the belief is strong
that the vessel has sailed to one Of
the nearest South American ports.
According to a proclamation Of Es-
trada each volunteer in the insurgents
army will receive 125 acres OF land for
his services, the same to revert to the
government of the east coast II it is
not in cultivation within six years.
