A little old lady wearing an
adorable lace cap and cape
Of point lace to her heels over

public life in Washington dur
ing the Cleveland Administra-
.tion.
A row of her husbands dec
orations adorned Mrs. Blacks
breast; his miniature, done
when they were counting, hung
about her throat. Another
small likeness adorned one OF
the medals she was wearing.
and under her arm she car
.ried larger portrait Of the
general taken when he was
nearing the close Of his life
The lovely laces worn by Mrs
Black were part of her trous-
scau, purchased when she was
honeymooning in Paris.
Mrs. Black, who lives in At
lantic City, came to Washing
ton to attend a meeting of the
Danes of the Loyal Legion and
is making a series of visits
here. She attended the recep-
ton last evening with Col. and
Mrs. William ]. Glasgow, and
was constantly surrounded by
groups Of old friends. She was
the guest at the White House
at the wedding Of President

was entertained there was in

GRADUATION
RIOT OCCURS
IN CHICAGO
-arents Storm Platform
When Principal Keeps 40
Graduates From Exercises

Chicago, Jan. 2S.--P)-Four hun
dred graduates Of two Chicago high
schools took their places in the world
today, diplomas in hand, but only
after difficulties that turned one
commencement into riot.
Principal c. L. Morse precipitated
the riot when he sought to leave a
graduates and, announcing they would
receive their diplomas in private for
having cut classes on commencement
day, locked 40 Of the class Of liz in
room as the exercises began.
Doting parents soon discovered the
absences and when the locked roomful
was found, just as the unsuspecting
speaker swung into his address, kns-
men and friends stormed the plat
form.
In the struggle, Mr.. Morse was
lifted from the floor by Charles f.
Jensby, an uncle of one Of the inn
prisoned graduates. and informed
that he could not get back to the firm
floor again until the white frocked
~ were seated on the stage.
Woman Strikes Principal
One woman struck the principal,
but further disorder was prevented
by Mr.. Jensby, who made speech
urging calm after the parents point
had been won. Morse finally agreed
to free the pupils, who said teach
er had told them to miss classes and
prepare their finery, to take part in
the exercises.
At Englewood high, there was a
tense air about the commencement,
but the program was completed with
out fresh outbreak Of the trouble
which sent more than 200 graduates
on strike on the eve Of the occasion.
The class declared strike when
three favorites were ordered to apollo
gize for snake dance through the
school halls, and Principal Davidson
responded by declaring there would
be no graduation exercises. In the
end a compromise was effected and
the commencement was held as sched-
uled.
