BISHOP KAN

stepped forward at this juncture and said
he had been requested by Sister BaptiSta
to make speech, which he had absolute
" refused to DO, as h. did not believe
and it would be fitting appendix to
such "a glorious occasion. However the
Bishop did make little speech, and in u
clear and distinct voice he told some plain
truths, which, by his earnest manner
he impressed upon everybody present.
He expressed himself rs Gelighted-in
fact .nraptured with the entertainment,
and spoke in complimentary terms Of
Sister Bsptista and corps of assistants, for
the manner in which they advanced
and improved their pupils. He spoke Of
the corruption which now envelopes our
land. and said the only way to remedy
such matters was to educate the children
in q christian school. He said We had
the best government the world
ever saw. but it was necessary
to keep it out of the hands of crafty
wiley, corrupt and infideI politicians

All did the parts assigned Them remar-

and showed Il marked degree Of care on
the part Of their teachers. The saIuta-
tory delivered By Miss Jennie Upde-
graf, the essay by Miss c. Heiser, and
the valedIctory by Miss NJ. Phillips,
were received with decided pleasure,
and the applause bestowed on the young
Iadic, at the termination OF Their efforts
must have been to them, very satisfactory
proofs of appreciation.
The premiums and honors were d''trl-
buted to the lucky ones by Mother DE
Chantel. assisted by Sister Samuel. As
Seminaran Mccall read their names,
they approached the stage and
wore individually presented with
their premium medal. crown or spray,
according to each ones merit, by the
Bishop, who made them unusually hap
py, as they bowed or knelt, by some
cheering word Of praise or kind look of
pleasure and recognition.
The highest award foI general prof.
cheney, a gold medal, was awarded to Miss
Amelia Metcalf. The next highest
award. a silver medal, was transferred to
Henry Hess. Amid the hearty bursts Of
applause by their respective friends.
We regret that space prevents more IN
divIGualizing, "a there were many of the
little misses intheir white dresses and red

deserved some especial mention. Before
Closing. we cannot fail to note
the beautiful coronation ode
rendered by Mrs. Whitaker,

cnirs of her art as vocalist.

The operation was performed at the res
