Urging the girls and boys to so live and fashion their lives that others might light their candles from ( heir torches. The four ministers of the town were on the stage and ? elect choir render- ' ed several beautiful selections.

The substantia} progress which ts ho- j ing made in tho solution of the negtto problem in the ?>puth la illust rated by (!>*? fill l that Hi thr r.inmu nrcim'iii of St, Paul's Episcopal Normal and Industrial School' for negroes, held here, the last surviving member of General Robert E. tiee's Staff, Major Giles B. Cqoke, publicly expressed his desire that at his death Rev. James Solomon Russell, a former slave, shall officiate at his funeral. v Since the closfc, of tho war between the States Major Cooke has been en gaged in educational work, Years ago there came under his notice a? negro lad who, four years before Sumter was fired on, was born in a log hut on a Virginia plantation, The close of the war found Jim Russell without father or master and without a future save what his px-slave another could provide for him. In this situation he came under the eye Of General Lee's old comrade-in-arms. Major- Cooke sent the boy to Hampton and, in the years which followed Russell, under the guiding care of his friend, became successively teacher and priest, and is now an Archdeacon in tho Episco pal Diocese of Virginia doing valuable educational work among the people of his race. The two men ? Major Cooke, the former slave-owner and Archdeacon Russell, the former slave ? met^here the other day at St. Paul's Com-, mencement, before an audience, com posed equally of white and black. Major Cooke made a brief address expressive of his interest in the col ored race, and then, in ? tones of strong emotion said: "How I fael to ward you good people, and what I think of my old friend Russell, J can best express by saying that when the final summons reaches me it is my earnest wish and desire that your Archdeacon shall officiate at my fun eral." A periqd of deep silence ensued and then a burst of prolonged cheering came from the white and colored aud itors alike. . ? .
