PROMENADE.
CLASS or 1910 SETS PRECEDENT
IN ENTERTAINMENT FOR
CAIRO HIGH SCHOOL.
Gave Dance at SWoboda's Hail
Elaborate Decorations in Class
Colors and Emblems-
Novel Features.

As a fitting climax to successful
commencement weekaand also to the
last day of school the class OF 1910
of @. III. s. gave the first Senior
Promenade or dance ever given by
any class of the local high school.
The dance took place at Swoboda' s
hall on Twenty-eighth street and could
probably be classed as one of the
most brilliant social affairs Of the sea
sen.
The idea of the dance was gotten
from the yearly custom of graduation
dances In the larger schools and col
1eges OF the country Each member
of the class was allowed to invite two
persons and it swelled the number
present last evening to about 100.
The fifth. tenth and fifteenth dances
were pretty German figures and -
iavors were quite unique, ice cream
Genes being given the first and sec
ond times and pieces of lemon stick
candy tied with blue ribbons repre-
senting the class coIors, the third.
The grand march was the G. II. s.
Loyalty song and as the couples
promenaied the floor for the opening
OF the dance they sang the words to
this inspiring song.
The programs for the occasion were
neat white folders. the printing being
in blue ink carrying out the C. H. g.
colors. The inside sheet had the
name of each piece of music played.
and it was tied with light blue and
gold ribbon representing the 1910
colors. The superscription on the
cover was: First Annual Senior
Prom given by Glass OF $780, C. H. S.,
swoboda's Hall, June 10. 1910. Music
by Casle and Karcher"
The hall never looked prettier on
any occasion and the decorations
showed much taste. Suspended from
the side walls to the arch in the cen
ter were streamers OF light blue and
gold crepe paper forming pretty
canopy effect Along the sides of the
wall were numerous pennants and
also were papiermache decorations.
Each is Bound to All" the Senior
motto was on huge banner suspend
ed on the southeast side of the hall,
and under it in the class colors was
a large 1910 blanket Around these
numerous other blankets and pens
nants were drape1. The posts in the
center O. the room were entwined
with vines of honeysuckle tied with
huge bows of the 1910 colors.
The sweet girl graduates" and the
others Of their sex wore their beauti-
ful evening gowns and the SONS Of
c, Fl s. and the others of the sterner
sex most of them in dark coats and
white serge trousers presented al
pretty group.
The music was furnished by Capel
and Karcher and did its part to aid
the dancers to enjoy themselves to a
later horr than is usually the custom
After the dance which every one
pronounced the happiest they ever at
tended a special car chartered for the
purpose from the Traction company
conveyed the dancers to their homes.

WITHOUT HEALTH OR FUNDS
COOK Is UNABLE TO CONTINUE
PLANS TO ESTABLISH CLAIMS.
Dark and Dismal as the Polar Night
Is Future of Explorer. Spent
Money Combating Attacks.

BELLINGHAM, Wash.-Dr. VIM.
H. Axtell, a personal friend of
Frederick A. Cook, today received a
letter from Mrs. Cook dated Valpa-
raise, Chile, in which she says that
the explorer is broken in health.
without funds and unable to continue
his fight to establish his claim that
he discovered the North Pole. DR..
Axtell said today:
Mrs. Cook tells me in her letter
that Cook made considerable money
out of his trip when he first arrived
in New York, but he spent it in de-
Tending himself against bitter at
lacks from his enemies before the
Copenhagen decision was made pub
lie. Cook left New York later to
escape contumely, says Mrs. Cook,
and to go before the board of in
Quiry at Copenhagen as his own rep
resentative. Then Mrs. Cook fol-
lowed him, met him in England,
found him a nervous wreck and very
i'll.
'She writes that it was her fault
that Cook did not appear publicly at
the time he was unfavorably report
ed on. She says she took him to
Holland, France, Italy and then to
Spain, where they embarked fer
Buenos Ayres.
From Buenos Ayres they went
around Cape Horn to Chile Cook
is still very i'll, and will be in no
condition to take up his fight for
the honors which he still says should
have been his"
DR.. Axtell added that, according to
the letter, the explorer and his fam
lily will settle down for a quiet life.
"Mrs, Cook says" he continued.
''that her husband has no funds with
which to go to the arctic regions
after the proofs required by the Uni
versity of Copenhagen, and that if
he had the necessary cash he knows
of no one he could trust to do the
work for him."

NO COTTON OIL FOR FRANCE.
"A FrohlbItive Tax Is Put on the
Southern Product.


Cotton seed oil is now practically
prohibited from France by an inn
port duty of six cents a gallon. ac-
cordlng to members of the Cotton
seed Crushers' Association of Geor-
gia, who have been advised of the
increased duty on this we'll known
southern product by the French gov
eminent. Word has been received
from Washington to the effect that
the tariff treaty between this coun-
try and France has been signed
which permits an increase from six
to nine francs per 100 kiles, or 22O
pounds, which means an import duty
OF six cents per gallon.
The French government at first
fixed the duty at II francs, but a.
compromise was effected over the
protest of the crushers of the south.
This action on the part of the
French government is taken to mean
that the consumption of cotton seed
oil in that country has increased so
rapidly as to induce that government
to place this prohibitive duty on
American cotton seed oil in order to
give the French olive oil a chance
in the market

pointed for the purpose of raising
funds for the erection at the national
capital of building which will be.

meeting expressed it, declared "our

ing that of the 100000 which will
be needed for the building, $4,000
has been pledged This amount is
IN sums ranging from 500 to ST.
600.
The proposed edifice is to stand
at Massachusetts avenue and K
street in the northwest section of
the city. The next meeting of the
building committee will be held at
Asheyille, N. c., May 8th, at the time
OF the general conference of the
church.
Bishops Wilson, Gambler, Hoss and
Atkins, who were present at the
meetings here of the committee, ap-
proved what had been done and the
plans for the future. They indorsed
a letter which the committee has
sent forth in behalf Of the project.
Great satisfaction was expressed over
the large amount already pledged
and confidence in the denominationaI
loyalty which, it was declared, would
raise the balance of the amount.
The question of the architectural
style of the new edifice was left with
a committee composed of John C.

the next meeting of the committee.
Such thing as failure does not
enter into our calculations, says the
building committee in it's appeal for
aid. There ought to be somewhere
IN the ranks of our 100000 men,
bers at least a few magnanimous
souls who will contribute not less
than $4,000 each to this great for
ward movement, and surely there
are more than few who will give
us $4,000. Smaller but liberal dona-
tions we confidently expect to pour
in from a host of Others"
