CONQUER0Rs OF THE MoDoCs.
HOW THEY APPEARED ON THE AVENUE
YESTERDAY

A runaway, mad-dog or a band Of music, with
few militia attached, will create considerable of
furore and attract large crowd, but 1t takes an
omnibus filled with highiy-painted big Indians,
with one redskin sitting on top distributing hand
bills, to secure q multitude Of followers. Such
q scene trauspired on the Avenue last night. A
Metropolitan hotel omnibus swept up to Ford's
Opera-house, the door few open, and one by one
the "Conquerors Of the Modocs" jumped out on
the pavement bristllng with gorgeous feathers
and adorned with fresh war-paint. They went
in to examine the hall where they performed last
night, and upon their return they were greeted
by crowd OF anxious spectators, who stretched
and squirmed to catch . glimpse of Klamataeh-
chasney and Cappolas, who were instrumental in
the capture Of Captain Jack.
They were hurried into the vehicle by their
leader, while one, who evidently took great de-
light In being conspicuous, scrambled upon top of
the buss and commenced shelling the crowd
around with handbills.. As the conveyance
rolled away the crowd set up dismal howl and
started pell-mell in pursuit, snatching at the
show bills as they sailed and fitted in the air,
and initiating the war-whoop SO naturally that
the braves leaned back In their seats and took q
nap. Whenthey arrived at the hotel the same
crowd was still with them, and long after they
had disappeared frosn view In the house it might
have been seen swarmlng on tho adjoining side
walk, watching the balcony and wf1dows.

GONZAGA COLLEGE.
SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL COMMENCE
MINT L A CT Nr1,Ir

MENT LAST NIGHT
A large and brilliant assemblage gathered last
night in Masonic Temple, corner of F and Ninth
Streets to witness the interesting exercises of the
seventeenth annual commencement of Gonzags
COLLEGE.
This Institution, formerly known as the Wash
ington Seminary, was reopened in October, 1S4s,
and at present numbers about one hundred stu
dents. 1t is conducted by Jesuit Fathers, Rev
James Clarke being president. The college was
raised TO the rank Of university by the Congress
Of the United States in May, 1858. The course of
study is similar to that adopted and followed for
more than three hundred years in the Jesuit Col
leges in Europe, and since 1870 in our own coun-
try. In addition to the classical course, there is
8 non-classieal department for the benefit Of
lhose whose parents or guardians do not wish
them to devote their time to the study Of the
Greek and Latin languages.
The exercises last evening opened with grand
march, composed by Donch and dedicated to the
class of 1874 This was followed by essays and
recitations by the students in the following ORDER
France, (original,) John H. COoney; the Roman
Sentinel, Maurice J. Clagett; Ambition Of Ma
tons, (original0 VIM. b. Reynolds; Cardinal
Wolsey's Farewell, (declamation) John L.
PIpsss Use and Abuse e. Satire Original Leon
The addresses were Of high order of merit rs
compositions, and were generally well delivered.
The audience manifested their generous apprecla-
tion Of the efforts Of the youthful orators by re-
peated applause. Among the GENE of the coca
sion Was the glowing eulogium on France, by
Master John h. Cooney, and the valedictory, by
Z. z. Morgan. But 1t must not be inferred, be-
cause the other speakers are not specifically men,
toned, that they do not merit commendation. On
the contrary, all of them reflected credit upon
themselves and their alma mater.
Several brilliant musical selections, admirably
performed, preceded and followed the addresses
at appropriate intervals $50 -
The degree OF Master OF Arts was conferred, at
the hands Of President Clarke, upon Messrs. W.
w. Boarman and George N. Sullivan; the HOMO
rary degree of Master of Arts upon CHARLES v.
Boarman. NJ. D., and the degree Of Bachelor Of
Arts upon Z. o. Morgan, Leon TObriner and A.

then awarded to students who had distinguished

Messrs. Simon Wolf and George Mcclellan, Of
the Board Of Trustees of the Public Schools and
sub-board Of the Second district, gave the school
children OF that district picnic at Byer's Sew
enth street Park, yesterday afternoon, which
proved glorious evening of pleasure for them
all. There were about seven hundred children
participating, with music, to which their little
feet kept regular time; swings for those not dis
posed to dance, and other sports for their amuse-
ment. The hours passed quickly away, and dark
ness, the time for breaking up, came all too soon,
and ere they were prepared to think the picnic
over. Nearly all OF the teachers Of the schools
in the district were present, but for the pur-
pose Of looking after their pupils than sef-enjoy-
ment. They will make an excursion to Mount
Vernon on Saturday, where they propose to have
pleasures unaccompanied by any cares. The
trustees who gave the children the picnic must
have been amply repaid in Witnessing how hearty
and innocently It was enjoyed by the little ones

Of later date Of the Flemish school by Jordaens,
Coques and Van Dyck. To the art student tho
former, fat and wantingin ehiaro oscuro though
they be, are interesting as showing the peculiar
style of painting in tho middle OF the fifteenth
century, before Raphael Da Vinci Angelo and
Titan Infused into Il grandeur, color and the pro-
tive. Among them are O Madonna, child and
cherubm by Perugino, preceptor Of Raphael, and
ST. Paul by Bellini, Titian's master.
The Flemish school Is represented in the "Tri-
umph Of Christianity" by Jordaens-a great
work In ine condition, for q long time attributed
to Rubens, and catalogued Us such in the Dresden
gallery, until the name OF the artist was acct
dentally discovered by cleaner. Jordaens often
put bis work into the pictures Of Rubens hence
the resemblance Of style. The Interior" by
Coques, Is q remarkable work Of q different class
in the Flemish school. Though formal and
meagre as o composition Of q family group, the
details Of the figures, dress and quaint furniture,
all in wonderful preservation, are finished with
the minuteness ofthe school It represents.
