Commencement Day at Bishop
Whittaker's School.

The closing exercises of Bishop
Whittaker's school were fully equal
to any similar exercises in the State.
Wednesday morning saw the build
ing filled with friends of the school,
comprising some of the most promi-
nent people in the State. After
morning prayer by the Bishop came
the examinations in mental philosophy
and Natural Theology, which were
credit to the Bishop and the other
teachers. At IL o'clock the visitors
Adjourned to the gymnasium, and In
few minutes the girls filed in, in
costume for gymnastics, which, 40
usual, was one of the most entertain
ing exercises of the day. After half
an hour of graceful and intricate
movements the company passed into
the dining room, where the Bishop
had provided very bountiful lunch
served by eight young ladies, who
looked very jaunty in their white
caps and aprons. At | o'clock the
graduating exercises began in the
chool room. Over the platform was
the class motto, "Non ministrari, sed
ministrare,n Not to be ministered
unto, but to minister), showing the
noble aim of the class. The after.
noon exercises, including music and
essays were, first, "Unwritten Music"
with saludatory, Mary Benham;
"Footprints Of the Creator May
Ennor; Music; "Unconscious In1u-
ence." Isabel Osborne; "The Coming
Woman" (poem), Vienna Dollarhide;
Music; mo Sense Like Common
SENSE" Louisa Sissa; "Fetters, May
Cary; Music; Future" with vale
die tory, Carrie Webb. The essays
were all good and showed q great
deal of AGILITY. After a kind and
fatheriy address by the Bishop came
the presentation of diplomas, follow
ed by the US al congratulations and
numerous floral tributes from friends
and admirers. The evening prayer
closed the exercises. In the evening
came the musical entertainment and
SO closed the sixth year of the school.
The proficiency of the graduating
class speaks we'll for the mental
training acquired at the school. The
department of the pupils generally
is evidence of the attention paid to
that department of training for
young ladies, and those who witness
ed the closing exercises are Hnani-
nous in the opinion that Bishop
Whittaker's School for Girls is prob
ably the best institution of the kind
IN the State.

The Mill on the Slums.

There was considerable excitement
in sporting circles over the little af-
fair on Monday between R1gan and
Clark. An ill feeling had existed
between them for about fifteen min
utes and they concluded to arrange
their difficulties in the speediest man
ner. The ring was formed on the
slam pile where they were working.
The authorities not being aware of
the fight did not interfere. When
everything was ready time was call
ed and the fight began.
First Round,-Each threw away
his shovel and spit on his hands.
Both men Bere in good condition
and the baekess of each we're conf
dent that their favorite would win, as
neither seemed at all affected by the
opening struggle.
Second Roundabout came up
smiling and eyed each other warily.
This round lasted about two and a
half minutes by the mill whistle.
and told about equally upon the wind
of each combatant.
Third Round-Lively sparring on
both sides.
This was the severest round of the
fight; several hard blows were ex.
changed, and it was evident to the
spectators that neither could sustain
the terrible muscular efforts then be-
ing made for more than two or three
weeks. Time, about 10 o'clock a. m.
Fourth Round A cllnch and both
down in the dust. Time 81 seconds.
Fifth Round-W Wien time was
called it was seen that both men
were suffering from The violent ex
crtioLs in the previous rounds. How
ever, they came up % the scratch
busting the knees of their pants, and
after little preliminary hesitation
seized their shovels and resumed
work. The last round is still going
on with necessary intervals for sleep
aud refreshment. Both parties claim
a draw, and the umpire after mature
consideration has decided that they
are nearly right. Although this was
the most scientific encounter which il
has been the fortune of Dayton to
witnesssince Cooke and Styles spared
at 10 feet distance about four years
| ago.

Sure Test of Insanity.

The London Graphic says DR..
Lamson Will not have died in vain
if the suggestion made by British
authority on insanity is hereafter APP
piled to test the perceptive faculties
of alleged insane murderers. The
suggestion is that red-hot poker be
handed to the said alleged insane
person; if he takes it he is to be adj
judged as really unable to distinguish
between right and wrong; but if
he refuses 1t, then he is to be consid-
cred responsible and be made to suffer
accordingly. The test is very sim
pie one, and there should be no res-
son why it should not be accepted as
satisfactory. He who can remember
thata red hot poker burns can also
remember that to kill another is a
crime.

AsBuRY PARK, n. j., July l0.-Since
last year the entertaining capacity of the
hotels and boarding bopsss ef thisBlefe
have been nearly doubled. So great was
the rush to It's delightful resort last sum-
mer, people had 10 be literally packed
away at nights-two, three and four some
times to the room, and not large room at
that. But this is changed this season.
With accommodations almost doubled, and
the delay in the coming Of hot weather, let
the rush be what it may il can scarcely ex-
ceed the power of the people here to &C
commodate them well.
Asbury Park isa
Beautiful Grove
of more than one mile square, bordered on
one side by the ocean, on another by
Wesley Lake. and on still another by Sum
set Lake. These lakes are charming bodies
OF water, neither large nor deep enough to
be treacherous in case of storm. always
smooth and placid. Upon their sur
faces hundreds of brightly compar-
isoped and luxuriously cushioned .gon-
dolas fit hither and thither, giving
pleasure rides to ladies and children; !;
and when after nightfall, beautifully lit u p
with Chinese lanterns, the scene is one Of
dreamy beauty.
The whole city of Asbury Park is cool
and shady grove. The streets are broad
and clean; the houses surrounded by trees
and flowers; and travel is made pleasant by
the five-cent fare carriages which carry you
to any part of the city.
At no place on the Atlantic coast is
The Bathing Finer,
nor is it so heartily INDUCED in at any 9TH
er point. On almost any fine morning, when
the bathing season is at its height, you may
see from 500 to 900 gay bathers, OF both
sexes and of all ages, sizes and previous
conditions, sporting in the waves or fight
ing the feathery spray.
As no liquors, neither spurious or malt,
are permitted to be sold here; no gambling
tolerated (or attempted), therefore ne row.
dies are attracted here. None OF the de-
graded of either sex find this atmosphere
congenial; therefore, it is a most popular
place for families. There IS neither so
much of the high tone or OF the low tone |;
so much display of the vulgarity OF
wealth and ignorance, or vulgarity with
out wealth, as
At Long Branch
and some other resorts; but there is more
purity and genuine enjoyment than at any
other resort of which am acquainted.
Your correspondent remembers kindly
the many excellent citizens of Wheeling
who added to our pleasures last year, and
we shall be glad to welcome to the Park
those who are coming this year. Don.

WESTERN CROPS.
Indications Continue Favorable.

CHICAGO July IA Lincoln, Neb,
special says that crop indications continue
favorable and weather fine for corn. Re-
ports received from various sections of the
State confirm the opinion that all crops in
Nebraska, this year, will go far ahead of
any previous year.
Cedar Rapids, Ia, special says that a
gentleman travelling through the State for
the past ten days seeking information
about crops, says the prospects for corn at
present is poor, especially in the southeast,
where thousand of acres have been ruined.
1t is better in the northern half than in the
southern. There was an increased acreage
over last year of about Is per cent, but the
crop is fully 80 per cent. poorer and if rain
continues the damage will amount to so
per cent. Other grain looks fairly we'll
Rye is now being harvested.

Of the United States senate to Meet I'm
Pittsburg and Investigate the
Strikes.
Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Senate Com
mittee On Education and Labor during
their investigation of the labor strikes pro-
pose to make. Pittsburg one of the central
points for these investigations. The men,
bers of the committee will divide their re-
searches into several branches, viz: The
relations of capital and labor in the manu-
facture of iron and steel and textile febricS.
They also propose an inquiry into
The Causes of Strikes
in general, and how to remedy them. The
scope Of the committed inquiry will en-
brace the relations between labor aud cap
ital, the wages and hours of labor, the con-
dition of the laboring classes in the United
States and their relative condition and
wages as compared with similar classes
abroad, and the promotion Of harmonious
relations between capitalists and laborers.
In connection with the proposed inyestiga-
tion the
National Federation of Labor,
through its representatives at Washington,
has addressed a petition.to the Senate of
the United States setting forth the con-
stitutional right of Congress to ameliorate
the social condition of the workingmen Of
the United States through the lawful
means at the hands of the legislative
power of the nation. The petition sets
forth that the government considers fair
valuation of the profits OF capital invested
to be ga per cent. per annum, that in ex-
cess of this, the legal rate, is usury.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
Special Dispatch 10 tAs RegtaeT.

Special Dispatch 10 ths RegtaeT.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE sparse attend
ance of members at the House to-day in
dicates quite clearly that members are not
disposed to commit themselves to any
plans or schemes tending to prolong the
session beyond the prompt disposition Of
the remaining appropriation bills. What
took place yesterday is constructed to
mean that the work Of firing OUT Demo-
cratic members is not to be resumed until
the next session, as il may be regard
ed as almost an impossibility to
secure the attendance of quorum of Re-
publicans during the remainder of this
session. Mr.. Calkins, of Indiana, the chair
man of the Committee on Elections, init
mated as much as this in private converse
ton yesterday, but he safd if his party
would guarantee him q quorum, he
was ready to proceed with the work
of seating the Republican contestants. If
the Senate should take such action as to
prevent an adjournment for some weeks to
come, the House would have little or moth
ing Ito do, and in that case an extra
effort might be made to
obtain Quorum
for the consider of contested election cases.
If the Senate Republicans adhere to their
caucus action and undertake to make
additions to the House tax reduction
bill, it will necessarily open up the
whole subject of internal revenue taxation,
and thus extend the session almost indeti-
nitely. The Republican Senators may be
sure that the Democrats will also insist
upon amending the bill, and if both sides
are determined, an interminable discussion
will follow. The probability, however,
is that the Senate will finish the
appropriation bills in preference to
everything else, and when they are once
out of the way the large majority will vote
for adjournment Judge Kelley, the ven
cradle chairman of the Committe on Ways
and Means, is very much distressed at the
action OF his brother Republicans Of the
Senate He says the amendments which
they propose to add to the tax bill will be
another serious blow to the already desper-
ate fortunes Of the Pennsylvania Republic
cans.

EASTERN STRIKE.
War Among the Freight Handlers.

JERSEY CRY, July 11.-There was serious
rioting this afternoon at the docks of the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Rail-
road. One Italian was drowned fleeing
from the strikers, and a number of the
strikers wounded by pistol shots
fired by Italians. During the march
of the freight handlers to receive their
pay, many young men were put out of the
ranks. These assailed the Italian laborers,
who. in torn, fired indiscrminately, killing
a striker named Hayes. In. the attack upon
the Italian that followed, one was drowned
and several on both sides injured.
