who also made an address. The address to the students was made by Archibald H. Grimke of Boston. An interesting feature of the exercises was that each of the young women wore a gown designed and made by herself as a part of her school work. The gowns, while apparently expensive were not so.

Inasmuch as the highest cost of material in any of them did not exceed added value being the result of the handiwork of the pupils. Another notable feature was the presentation of engineers' licenses to four of the special students of the school; they were Issued by the board of steam engineers of the District. Mr. Macfarland's Address. Commissioner Macfarland spoke of the value of school training as a part of education.

"The value of the school," he said, "is now recognized by all. and its building will have to be enlarged to meet the growing demands upon it. No one, whatever he may think of other forms of education, can doubt the necessity which this school meets for the training by technical study and practice of-the brain and hand. "The Armstrong graduates have the special opportunity and responsibility of helping forward their own people In the unresting march of civilization. While we are all Americans, under one flag, we cannot ignore the peculiar position of the colored race and the peculiar responsibilities of their trained leaders.

They have the sympathy of all right-minded citizens in every effort to promote the progress which can only be secured by contributing their full share to the economic life of the whole country." Mr. Grimke's remarks were full of advice to the young people. In part he said: "Life is strife, and those who live have to strive. The dead only are quiet, are still on this battlefield. You are now en route to the seat of war, where your soldierly qualities will be speedily tested.

"The life which you are now beginning is no feast day. Far from it. It means work, persistent, determined work, such as men and women do who are resolved to get i what belongs to them and to keep it. If i there is any royal road to success I have never heard of it. nor will you ever catch so much as a glimpse of it.

The road leading to it is filled with dust and stones and thorns, over which you may have to walk sometimes with bare feet and with the breath catching in your throats. There Is no such thing as sleeping anywhere along that route and reaching the end where fortune beckons." Those Receiving Diplomas.

FUMES OF OX COOK TBMDBBED RECEPTION. 11 a Old-Fashioned. Barbecue at Which Col. Ckrson Unn. stinted Praise.

BC The gentle summer breezes that stirred the slumbering trees in the vicinity of Eureka Parfc Good Hope Hill, last night were laden with the1' savory smell of roasting oxen. The citizens sniffed the air and wondered. An old-fashioned barbecue was in progress, with the Blaine Invincible Colored Republican Club as host, and Dr. Robert Reyburn and John F. Cook, delegates from the District of Columbia to the national republican convention, as guests of honor.

The occasion was a fitting send-off to the two gentlemen who prfevalled in the recent election, and who leave for Chicago today or tomorrow. As is usual with all gatherings of the Blaine Club, Col. Perry H. Carson, the republican war horse, the "tall sycamore," was one of the most prominent figures. Mr.

Cook was unable to be present, but his colleague, Dr. Reyburn, sat upon the platform and in a brief address thanked his hosts for the reception. The roast was started early In the afternoon, and at o'clock last evening It was ready to serve. By this time the guests and hosts were on hand, with a truly good appetite, and the meat left on the bones of the ox the crowd dispersed would not have furnished a good meal for a bird. Among those who addressed the merrymakers were John C.

Dancy, recorder or deeds; former Representative George W. White, E. M. Hulett, John M. Howard Jackson and L.

G. Gregory. L. H. Peterson, another speaker, launched a boom for Col.

Carson as national committeeman for the District, which suggestion was received with prolonged enthusiasm. The barbecue lasted until about midnight, and the guests departed to the four winds singa parody complimenting Col. Carsnntothe tune of "The Star Spangled There was not one of the five hundred who did not say he had a good tarv Dr. Reyburn spoke in complimentary terms of Col. Carson and his servlces to his party in the District.

Then he toid the assemblage that he was going to have the republicans Insert a plank in the platform for the restoration of local government in the District. Recorder Dancy talked exclusively of Col. Carson, his courage, his genius and his popularity. He told how Carson had induced Col. Conger to leave the republican convention several years ago.

when the two were delegates, to get a telegram whlcn was supposed to he waiting for him. As a matter of fact, there was no telegram, and In the absence of Col. Conger. Perry Carson had himself made national committeeman. This tickled the guests greatly, and they applauded to the echo.

Mr. Peterson, when it came his turn to talk, went back over the history of Col. Carson, dwelling on his political sagacity and attendant success. He worked the audience up to an enthusiastic Carson mood, and then hurled the Carson boom for the national committee. He said that it would be an honor to Reyburn and Cook if they would name the "tall sycamore," and that was evidently the opinion of the rest of those present.

Dr. Reyburn would not place himpelf on record, however. The Blaine Invincibles decided to await the news from- Chicago. It was 930 when finally the ox was done and ready to be served. At this eleventh hour there arose a quarrel.

The chief roaster and the principal bread cutters, of whom there were twenty, disputed as to who should serve the barbecue. They sho.jk one another and gesticulated at a great rate. Finally it was decided to call in Col. Carson as arbitrator. He settled the dispute by handing out the plates of ox meat with liis own hands, and thus the guests were served.

LA FOLLETTE LOSES FIGHT. National Committee Awards Convention Seats to "Stalwarts." A dispatch from Chicago last night says: by unanimous vote the republican national committee late this afternoon decided to seat the delegates-at-large from Wisconsin, who are members of the so-called "stalwart" faction, headed by United States Senators Johin C. Spooner and Joseph V. Quarles and opposed to the republicans led by Gov. Robert M.

La Follette. While the contest is partly settled, so far as the national convention is concerned, the dispute among the two parties of the badger slate Is by no means ended, as the Wisconsin courts are to be tasked to determine which of the two conventions recently held in the state was legally the party convention and entitled to have the names of its nominees for state officers placed upon the official ballot under the regular party name. After the national committee had decided against the supporters of the governor trom Wisconsin, the leaders of Mr. La Follctte's side announced their determination to carry the fight to the end, and it is probable, in of the decision of the committeemen, lhat the dispute will again be fought out before the committee on creoentlals in the national convention. The anti-La Follette men were equally determined to continue the contest, which has been exceedingly bitter.

The Spooner adherents asserted that the first legal action to bo taken would come from their side anl would very likely be in the form of mandamus proceedings to compel the placing of their candidates, headed by Samuel A. Cook for governor, on the otfietal ballot of the state, or else an action to prevent the representation of the La Follette ticket on the ballot. Notes. The committee affirmed the report of the subcommittee on the election of temporary officers for the convention. These will be Charles W.

Johnson of Minneapolis, secretary; John P. Molloy of Ohio, first assistant secretary; Elihu Root, temporary chairman; William E. Stone, sergeant-ataims; David C. Owen, Milwaukee, first assistant A large likeness of the late Marcus A. Hanna lias been hung in the Coliseum.

It is the oniy portrait that will greet the eyes of the delegates to the republican national convention. It measures 20 feet high and 17 feet wide. Senator Fairbanks of Indiana arrived in Chicago today. He maintained silence on the subject oi the vice presidency. Pronunciations That Signified.

From the Kaunas Cltf Journal. Stnator Stone of this state once made a famous remark to the effect that the only way to "carve" a watermelon la to "bust 'er." He said, however. In a recent Interview, that every state has Its own peculiar way of doing things, and, among others, its own style of pronouncing words. "It Is related," said the senator to a Des Moines Times 'reporter, "that when the first tide of New England settlers began to drift to Kansas, Mlasouclans tied a cow at each crossing of rthe Missouri river. If the emigrant said 'cow' he was permitted to cross, but if he pronounced It 'keow' he was told to return te the east, because the natives were satisfied he was an evil-minded abolitionist.

The Kansas people evened up by tying a bear on their side of the river, and If the emigrant said 'bear' he was given the right hand of! fellowship, but If he pronounced It 'bar' be was given an hour to get back to Missouri, because he was an advocate of slavery." Grant and at Appomattox. From tbe Vlekaburg (Miss.) Herald. In all the world's annals of heroic episodes there is nothing to excel the majestic grandeur of Lee, rising superior to adversity and defeat at Appomattox. It was the fitting capstone to a great career. And yet the commanding presence towers but little in the imagination above the grandeur of Grant's simplicity and unostentatlon when putting on the crown of a great victory.

All things considered, measured by the Influences of birth, training and associations of the two. Ills trial and test was as severe, and he came out of It with as little tarnish of demeanor and bearing as his great and illustrious adversary. Altogether, the Scene Is a theme to be dwelt upon as the highest pinnacle of the excellence and superiority of American citizenship and character. It Is one which may safely challenge comi parlson from all the nations of all the afw? ON THE SIYEB FRONT OVKBHAUMHO AT BOATYARDS. Cargo of Xco Arrives Barken tine Chartered to Load Asphalt?

Lawson Personally I know that one hundred millions of dollars were lost, thirty men committed suicide and twenty previously reputable citizens went to the penitentiary, directly because of Amalgamated. It was largely because of my efforts that the foundation of Amalgamated was successfully laid. It was created because of my work. It was because of what I stood for, because I had the public's confidence, and because my promises had been kept, that the plain people invested two hundred million dollars of their savings, and it was because of trickery and broken promises that the public lost the enormous sums they did. My motives for writing the Story of Amalgamated are manifold: I have unwittingly been made the instrument by which thousands upon thousands of investors in America and Europe have been plundered.

I wish them to know my position as to the past, that they may acquit me of intentional wrongdoing; as to the present, that they may know that I am doing all in my power to right the wrongs that have been committed and as to the future, that they may see how I propose to compel restitution. THOMAS W. LAWSON. A Statement by the Publishers of Everybody's Magazine In the articles by Mr. Lawson, beginning in the July number, under the caption of "Frenzied Finance, the Story of Amalgamated," we have a narrative from Mr.

Lawson's own lips, how, in the last few years, he has seen millions of dollars won without right, and thousands of men ruined. It is a story of financial tragedy of today. In the great financial happenings of recent years story tellers have given their version; political economists their theories; reformers their pictures; and historians their tablets. For the first time in the history of High Finance we have the High Priest tell it as it happened, and it is for Everybody's Magazine to publish "the cold-blooded facts," for Mr. Lawson has pledged himself to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
