INTERESTING EXERCISES

tercMtlnK Addresses.
Yesterday was a bright and beauti?
ful summer's (in)-, just such an one as
would be chosen for ;i school com?
mencement and the chapel of th
B'irst Ward School was crowded to
overflowing with ladies wearing their
now bonnets und dressed in all the
feather weight fabrics of summer.
The final exercises <>f the school
were being held and about six bund
red pupils were waiting with upl urned
laces eager to learn who bad secured
the different scholarships offered.
Promptly at 2:15 o'clock the exer?
cises began and the lirst piece on the
program was a son:,' and recitation,
?'Welcome," by twenty live little girls
from tin- second primary grade. Mi.-s
Gussie Teaford played a march on the
organ, the little girls marched in keep?
ing step to the music. When th?y
[iad taken t heir place on the platform
as each girl on rlie first row recited
her verse, she would turn over a letter
that was pinned on the Irorit of her
frock and after all bad been turned
ov t t be word ''welcome" was spelled.
This was very pretty. Next on the
!i-t was the salutatory by Miss Lizzie
Featherstone.
The next number was a duet by
M isse? t !arrie Hawks and (!ora Slaugh?
ter. "What are the Wild Waves Say
ing?" This was very well rendered,
especially the last strain, where the
two parts go together.
Bennie Mays here entertained the
audience with a recital of the ?"Schoo!
Boys Troubles," a very amusing little
piece.
A sacred duel by Misses Elva Knepp
and Fleeda Allison,was much enjoyed.
Miss Rusa C rollt t presiding at the
organ.
A dialogue, "The Professions,"
rendered by four small boys, intensely
amused the audience and ended With
a hit at civil service reform
One of the prettiest pieces In the
whole evening entertainment wan the
song by Miss Edna Royall, "Who'll
buy my pretty flowers."
The recitation. "Aunt Tabitha,"by
Miss Kdith Tuggle, was a success and
won applause.
Miss Hattie Hart Bang "Tit lor Tat "
with very great expression and com?
pletely captivated the audience. She
has a remarkable voice for one so
young.
The umbrella did! by the third
primary grade was an unique feature
in ! th?- little girls with their long
gossamers and big umbrellas pre
sen fed a very eu*e appearance.
Sliss Alfa Fuukhouser recited a::
ode in Latin.
Tim prettiest feature of the e er
>-i-e.? was the loop drill by ten girls
about twelve years old. There were
eight blondes and the same 11 um bei
of brunettes and half of them had
llOOpS covered with pink and (In
others-had blue and the effect pro
[luced by the two was very pretty
They were under perfect control ol
the captain and did splendid.
The valedictory was by Miss Emma
Comer. It was an excellently writtei
piece and Miss Comer's voice tr-mh
led just enough to make it sound
sweet.
At this point the presentation of
the scholarships took place. The
Stare Female Normal Scholarship
at Troutville, was secured by Miss
Emma < torner, she having excelled in
deportment, attendance and scholar?
ship. The presentation speech was
made by Hon. John W. Wood.-, oi
this district, in his most happy style.
The scholarship in Mrs. Partie (iil
more'sschool was obtained by Miss
Alia Fuukhouser, and the Superin?
tendent of City Schools, Rush U.
Derr, presented it. .Mr. JH-rr made
quite a lengthy speech in which he
complimented the work of-the school
for the past year, and the valiant ef?
forts of the teachers.
"The teachers," said he. "have as?
siduously attended totheirduties and
have given entire satisfaction to pu?
pils' parents, and in fact, all who are
connected with the public school sys?
tem. Throughout the year every?
thing has been harmonious and great
results have been accompolished.
The work has been well done and the
public schools of Koanokeare a credit
to the city. We are somewhat crowd
ed now, but hope to have better
equipped school rooms next year."
The scholarship in the Montgomery
Fehnale college, offered by Proffessors
Royall and Beckham, was secured by
Miss Lena Burnett, Professor Beck?
ner, in a florid speech prelecting it.
The scholarship in the Synodical col?
lege, of Rogersville, Tenn., was won
by Misses Maude Knepp and Lizzie
De Grant, Rev. WT. C.Campbell pre?
senting.
The Roanoke college scholarship
was won by Mr. M Early St Clair, and
J. I Goodman presented it.
The Hamden-Sidney scholorsbip
was won by Francis Paymj. It was
hard to hear Mr. John M. Hart's
speech, there was a baby yelling at
the top of its voice all tha time, and
sometimes Mr. Hart had the ascend?
ing and then again the child would
be on top.
Miss Lillian Hoell was presented a
prize for keeping the best set of books
in Miss Stone's rooms and Edith Tug?
gle also won one for the best map.
The scholars in Miss Stone's room
presented her with a bouquet of beau?
tiful flowers. Miss Bettie Foster also
received a token of affection from her
children.
The exercises then closed

Next Monday night at the Opera
House our citizens will have an op?
portunity of witnessing one of the
most, remarkable and meritorious ex?
hibitions of mysterious phenomena
ever given in Roanoke. It is the
manifestation of mind reading and
spiritualistic power through the
mediumship of J. Randall Brown,
acknowledged to be the most expert
and satisfactory exemplifler of these
strange phenomena. Mr. Brown has
been before the pub lie 20 years and
has been subjected to the severest
tests that could be devised by the
most eminent scientific men in this
country and throughout F11 rope.
He was the tutor of the late W.
Irving Bishop, whose tragic death in
New York hist Spring, is still fresh in
t he memory of all. Those who do not
attend his seance Monday night will
ertainly miss one of the most weird,
tartling and intellectual entertain?
ments ever offered for scientific in?
stigation. Mr. Brown will be as
ited by a charming young lady
medium who will produce her won
rful materialization seance.

Frankfort, Kv., May 17.?Carlisle
was nominated for Senator this eve?
ning. The last ballot stood?Carlisle
72, Lindsay 4:3. The vote was then
made unanimous.
John Griffin Carlisle, the man who
is to succeed Heck in the Senate, has
a national reputation. He has exper?
ience, middle age, ability, energy and
courage, with a trood shar? of execu?
tive abi'ity. But executive ability
is not always the only thing required.
A man may do a week's work in a
single day, and, lacking judgment,
may make a dozen bad mistakes in
the meantime; whereas, a man of
judgment will avoid the mistakes al?
together.
John Griffin Carlisle is a native Ken
fuckian, having been born nine and
forty years ago in Kenten County.
He looks ten years older than that.
His hair is very thin, and there are
deep wrinkles in his smoothly shaven
lace. He is built on the big model of
most Kentuckians?large in frame,
tall, broad shouldered and large hands
and feet, and, in movement, rather
awkward.
He was admitted to the bar in 1858,
and has never given up hi? practice
since. He has been a member of both
branches of the State Assembly, a
presidential elector, a delegate-at
large to National Democratic Con?
ventions, lieutenant-governor of his
State and finally he has been contin?
uously in Congress for eight years,
and succeeded Mr. Randall as speaker.
