Normal school commencement

The ninth annual commencement of the
Washington Normal School took place last
night at the Congregational Church. The
building was filled with friends OF tho gradu-
atos and of the public schools. The taste of
the young ladies' had decorated the stage In an
exquisite manner. The lower front of the
organ was draped with flags, the figures
"1SS2, In white daises, placed in the centre.
The front Of the organ gallery was beautifully
decorated with the ensings OF the Unitod
States, Great Britain and Germany, and above
them was n garland OF daisies stretched along
the entire front. The front OF the stage was
banked deep with floral devices, tributes to
the graduates from their friends.
On the stage were seated, besides the gradu-
ntes, Miss Luclla Z. Smith, the principal of
the school; Superintendent Wilson, Messrs.
Iovejoy and Matthews, trustees: General
sherman and members OF his staff Judge Mac

Bureau OF Education: Rev. DR.. Bartlett and
others. Weber's oschestra was engaged, and
began the programme with an overture, "Au-
rora,' from Schleppengrel; waltz, " Dreams of
Childhood," Waldtenfel, and grand march,
"singers' JOY" weingarten. During the per,
formance of this last piece the fair young
graduates walked in to the stage, all blondes
but two or three, and all dressed In white or
light neutral tnts that, at little distance in
the glare OF the gas Jets, looked white. 1t was
said to be the largest class ever graduated
from the Washington Normal School.
The ceremonies were introduced, after the
arrival of the graduating class, by prayer
from Rev. Dr. BARTLETT of the New York-ave.

Why NOT GIVE rs two-cent letter post
age. The Postotiice Department was never
intended as a money-making machine, and
for some years past it has nearly paid its
expenses; in fact, If the cost for carrying
unpaid matter sent through the mails
was deducted, the Postoflice Department
would more than pay expenses. This is
evidence enough that the price Of letter
postage should be reduced.
In every attempt heretofore made to re-
duce postage some Bourbon" opposed it
because the reduction would reduce the
receipts of the Office, but in every instance
the receipts were increased, as they would
be by further reduction. If the Govern
ment can furnish paper, already postpaid,
