BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Closing Exercises for the Holiday Vacation
atProf. Faddis' st. Paul Institu tion-An
Interesting Programme ENTERTAINMENT
Executed ed-Presentation.
The assembly room of the st. Paul Bus
mess college, Prof. Faddis, principal, was
filled last evening by pupils and friends of
the school, the occasion being the closing
exercises for the holiday va
cation. AS usual with Prof.
Faddis on such occasions, he had provided
a rich and varied literary treat, the remem-
brance of which will long be cherished in
the minds of both participants and visit
ors. lAfter music under the direction of
Mrs. Arnold, presiding at the organ,
assisted by Miss Hattie Bryan
(one of the teachers) and
Miss Paine. and nine male voices (stu-
dents). Prof. Beardsley read in very
happy style the story of s'George Wash
ington and his Little Hatchet," as told by
Alf. Burnet.
Following. Mr.. A. A. Snow, pupil, late
from Australia, read a carefully digested
and able paper on Success in Life"
the foundation and source of which
was found, it was argued, in industry,
energy, frugality and temperance, coupled
with which, as an essential, was the peru
sal and support of pure literature. The
essay was warmly applauded, as it's
merits deserved.
Prof. Faddis then introduced Prof. W.
W. Prendergast, assistant superintendent
of public instruction, who read in a most
forcible and expressive manner, and with
admirable diction, the story of the ''Bar-
becue Camp Meeting," the scene being
laid in Texas in its early days. -.
After another number by Mrs. Arnold
and assistants, Miss Paine, a young lady
of sixteen, delivered defamation, which
| evoked most enthusiastic applause.
| Hon. John B. Brisbin, Hon. VIM. S.
Moore and Major 7. Nj. Newson we're then
introduced in the order named and made
short addresses highly complimenting the
practical education placed within their
reach-the education that furnished the
brain and/energy that was building our
| railroads and developing the
grand resources of our country. Each of
the speakers made special mention of the
points made by Mr.. Snow in his essay.
Mr.. Brisbin concluding his exceedingly
happy remarks by reciting the words of a
cold water song, set to the tune of Auld
Lang Syne, written by himself many,
| many years ago.
Major Newson, an earnest friend of the
school since its Inauguration, touchingly
alluded to the late DR.. Williams, who will
be remembered by all old pupils as
warm friend and true adviser, who had
passed away since tho last commencement
| exercises. In concluding, the major men
toned the fact that when he came to Min
nesota thirty-fve years ago, the nearest
railroad connection was at Rockford, Ill.
Now the iron horse, departing from st.
Paul, is rapidly approaching the Pacific
slope, and soon the silks of Japan and the
teas of China would be cheaper
here in st. Paul than in New
York city, and though he might
| not live to see it, it was no wild dream to
anticipate the location here, exactly mid
way of the continent, of the capital of the
| nation.
Prof. Faddis followed Major Newson
with few remarks supplementary and
particularizing upon the services of the
| late DR.. Williams in behalf of the college.
Following another musical number by
Mrs. Arnold and assistants, came the
pleasantest incidents of the evenings en-
| tertainment. Prof. Faddis was on the
point of dismissing the audience, when a
resolution was read returning the thanks
of the scholars to the speak
ers and others who had contrib
uted SO much to the pleasure
of the evening. The resolution waa
adopted. Mr.. Hodgson, pupil, address,!
ing Prof. Faddis, said the school had depu-
ted him to represent them in expressing
to him and his associates their apprecia-
tion of what they had done in their behalf.
These remarks were followed by Mr.. Hodg
son presenting Prof. Faddis, on behalf of
the school, with a pair of gold trimmed
eye glasses; Professor Beardsley with fif-
teen volumes of the American encyclope-
dia, and Miss Hattie Bryan and Mrs. Ar
mold, each gold pencil and pen COM
bined. Each lof the recipients returned
brief but happy thanks for their rsmem-
brances, all of which was supplemented by
a few remarks Of Prof. Faddis in
wishing his pupils and friends
a Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year, and "many returns Of the same" and
thus closed another most interesting and
conspicuous event in the history of the
st. Paul Business college.
The Shoulder-Hitters.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Jere Dunn, manager
of John L. Sullivan, the pugilist, states the
reason why no arrangement for glove
fight between Sullivan and Elliott for some
other city was made after the prohibition
here is the fact that Elliott is really sick.
The man is suffering from paralysis of tho
brain. They will probably never meet, as
their personal animosities are settled. and
they became fast friends. Sullivan goes
to New York after few days, thence to
Hot Springs for one week, thence to San
Francisco.
