NOT FIRST GRADUATING CLASS
Communicated.


The many nurses who have been
graduated from the Alexandria Train
ing School prior to the class of 1872
wish to cali attention to a mlsstate-
ment in the alexandria News" of
May 10Th to the effect that the foul
nurses graduated then composed the
"first graduating class" of that instl,
tuition. The "News ca" being a pap
err Of only a few months standing Is
apparently not aware that the Alex
andra Hospital Training School dates
from 1892. Its establishment, growth
and efficiency are due primarily TO
Mrs. Margery Adamson, who was mai
ron and superintendent for seventeen
years. Under her able management
aided by the generosity OF the citl-
zens of Alexandria, the institution
grew from q humble beginning to the
modern, sanitary, well-equipped nos
pital it is today. This explanation.
though not necessary for old AleXan-
drians, is called for by the refusal OF
the "News" to correct their above
mentioned misstatement.

The announcement also states that

struct plant in the Philippine ISL

Honolulu will be erected Immediately,
the announcement adds.
The marvels of the goth century
bring to mind many things seen from
afar by scientific men who were CO.
tcmporancous with some now living.
When Cyrus w. Field conceived the
idea of installing a line Of steamers
from the narrowest point in the At
lantic Ocean, between the old and new
worlds, in order to relay news from
which had been re-
ccived at that place by magnetic tel
cgraph so that intelligence from this
country to Europe might be trans
mitted in the shortest time, he was
contemplating a globe in his office.
1t occurred to him that telegraph
cable might. be laid from Newfound-
land to the nearest point in Ireland
When he made known his conception
it was laughed at as an idle dream
by many. He would doubtless have
been taken in charge by his friends
had he given a hint that the time
would come when men would be en-,
abled to talk to each other arount
the world, and that, too, without
wires.

HEBREWS CLAIM COLUMBUS.

Christopher Columbus languisheo
in chains, neglected and unappreciat'
ed before the close of his earthly car
ecr. But, as has ever been the case
one generation "buildcth the tonlbs
of prophets" their progenitors ILL
treated or murdered The new world
today paid proper respect to the mem
DRY Of the great Genoesc who, while
derided by the world as wild Wis
ionary, launched forth upon the broac
Atlantic in a frail craft in search OF
the western hemisphere.
AS it was in the days subsequent
to the death of Homer, when seven
cities claimed to be the scene Of the
birthplace of the poet, the claim that
Columbus was Catholic is now dis
putcd by no less an authority than
Rabbi Abram Simon, of the Washing
ton Hebrew Congregation, who occas-
ioually visits Alexandria. The rabbi
in d sermon last night adduced histor-
ical evidence in support of his theory.
DR.. Simon began by saying that the
great discoveries name had been or
iginally Cristoval Colon, Hebrew
name, rather than Christopher Col
umbuS. The reason for the change,
he said. might have been because Of
the Spanish inquisition, when mem
bcrs of the race were being persecut-
ed.
Or. Simon said that he knew that
Columbus had been professcd Cath
Ole. but he asserted that many He
brcws had been forced to profess, out
wardly at least, the Roman faith. He
added that Columbus had had many
Hebrew affiliations His mother, DR..
Simon said, had been of u Hebrew
family, and all of Columbus letters
extant had been written to Hebrews.
DR.. Simon also cited the fact that OH
the first voyage of the discoverer no
Catholic priest had been taken along.
and that there we're many Hebrews
on the vessels.
The speaker declared that Column
bus had deliberately bccloudcd his
birth and ancestry, and added that
when the shreds of evidence have been
gathered together the Hebrew people
will have more than a substantial
cord to bind him to their race.
Other denominations save the Ro-
ruan Catholic have claimed st. Pat
rick. and at Hibernian banquet after
the destruction of Admiral Rogdens'
vesky's fleet by Admiral Togo it was
alleged by some of the speakers that
Togo, Nogi and other commanders OF
the Mikado's army and navy we're OF
Irish descent, and that their names
had become contracted in the Jap
anese language.

A NEWBORN NEGRO BABY
FORETELLS WORLDS END.
At Pelham the Child ForetoId Two
Deaths and Rain.

TOWNSVILLE, According
to reports received here the negroes
around Pelham, over in Mitchell
county, are very much stirred up
over an infant phenomenon which it
is said spoke when only a few hours
old and among other things predicted
the end of the world
Several negroes here have receiv-
ed letters from friends in Pelham
telling of this child which, they af-
firm, turned and spoke to it's mother
when it had been born only eight
hours. The child, so the story goes,
told it's mother that it would die in
two hours and she would die in four
hours and the world would come to
an end in six months. The mother
and child are both said to have de-
parted this life on schedule time,
and now the colored population have
no doubt whatever that the remain
der of the prophecy will be fulfilled.
If there is one thing more than an
other that will terroriZe the average
negro it is prophecy in regard to
the coming of Judgment" day, and
many of the Thomasville negroes are
getting a very Uneasy" feeling
themselves.
Another portion of the prophecy
which the child is alleged to have
uttered and which showed that it
possessed voice of wisdom was that
it would rain off and on until the
end of the world AS the. showers in
this section have undoubtedly been
likely to continue so there is no diff
fculty in verifying the truth of the
utterance, which is of course held
up as verification of the whole mat
