DEATH OF JUDGE M'ROBERTs.

This community was greatly shocked on
Tuesday evening by dispatch from Joliet
announcing the sudden death of the Hon.
Josiah McRoberts, who on the preceding
day had been reelected one of the Judges
of this judicial circuit. The Judge, 1t ap
pears, from taking bath on Sunday NOR

bronchial affection, from which, however,
nothing serious was aprehended until Tues
day evening, when, having called his
daughter and saying 81 feel very badly, ;
he suddenly gave n gasp, as If to catch
breath, and apparently falling asleep, In a
few minutes was dead. DR.. Casey, who
was Immediately called in, attributed his
sudden death to pulmonary apoplexy.
The Judge was native of this state
having been born in Monroe county, June

country from Scotland is ITS, and had
served as a soldier In the revolutionary
war, soon after the close of which he settled

holding the office four years. In 1865 he
was appointed by Gov. Oglesby Judge of
the Joliet district to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Judge Harris, and
since then, at each recurring election, was
reelected, so that up to his death he had
been upon the bench 10 years.
AS a judge he was rapid In the dispatch

mind, thorough knowledge Of the law,
and high intuitive sense OF right and

the bearings of the case, and so directed

sons and married daughter, survive him.

The Rochelle Register gives this as a case
of gall" THE gall of the average law
yer is proverbial. A case in point recent
ly occurred in the trial Of the boy Smith,
before Judge Eustace, in Rockford. Smith
burglariously entered house and stole
three twenty dollar gold pieces. 1t seems
the ownership of the money was held
pending the trial. The burglar was con-
victed, when his attorney attached the
money, hoping to keep it as his fees.
There was gall for you! After trying to,
beat the man out of his money by clearing
the thief he tries to beat him out of 1t by
making him pay for his efforts to beat
him."

GRADUATES ELOCUTION.

There Is little, after all, that is dramatic
in high school commencement, in spite
of the tragic flavor with which the average
historian or valedictorlan invests it, for
somehow at the hands of the graduate
commemorate has come to mean the end,
not the beginning; and tears are the ''pro-
per caper" We suspect, nevertheless, that
there is in all graduating classes decided
under.current of rejoicing, that comes to
each with more or less tangible force when
THAT Grafton" is finished and the flowers of
earth surround the feet Of him or her who
has but moment before RECALLED an ad
miring poplace with the flowers of prose,
poetry and oratory.
1t is TO be regretted, however that the
oratory is not, as rule, more nearly equal
In quality to the literary flavor of the
prose poetry" 1t never is. The weak
point OF all commencement exercices Is the
delivery of the graduates. 1t is not expec-
ted tina, the high school graduate will be an
orator. Very few college men reach that
end to any respectable degree; but there
is no question that the performances Of
even high school graduates could be Won
derfully improved by the addition of rea-
sonabe amount of intelligent instruction in
elocution and gesture. 1t is unnecessary
and probably undesirable that high school
graduates should be made elocutionists
however pleasing such an accomplishment
may be; but high school graduate should
be entitled to know how to use his voice
and arms with some degree of effect and,
not to be cautiously critical, not one of the
class of 1884 or 1885 showed any proticien-
cy in either regard further than that de-
velOped by the mere mechanics of "coach-
ing" which served only to emphasize the
deficiency.
We recognize the fact that there Is not
great existing love of the art of elocution,
as an art or as a high school study; yet If
high school pupils are to be prepared for
the gentlemanly education supposed to re-
suit from tue Sluiy VI tlc ucuN iohS unSCo'
no reasonable objection can be made to
small additional waste Of time in the study
of elocution in connection with such a cur
riculum. 1t is a natural corrollary and, for
the mass of students of high schools, we
believe equally if not more useful.
The high school of this city is so excel
lent in many ways. and Is doing such no
BILE work that we wonder such an addition
is not made to its courses of study. A half
or quarter hour a day throughout the four
years course would redeem commence
ment from host of rank absurdities of de-
livery and gesture, and give to graduates
at least the foundation work for the max
ing of easy public speaking,-an accom-
plishment that active, educated men find OF
immense practical value when their youth

turned to its rest with Demosthenes and

preparation bills, claims to be virtually
through with Its business and ready TO ad.
iourn. The house, on the other hand,
amended the senate resolution to adjourn
on the 10th by extending the time to the
Goth, and In that amendment the senate has
concurred.-Among the more important
appropriations voted by the senate are $3l :.
44250 to Alexander Bruce, of Marseilles,
on claims arising out of his construction of

the intirmary of the Kankakee asylum de-

hotels, &c, as are enjoyed by whites.
In the house the struggle Is apparently
on one side to expedite business and get
ready to adjourn by hurrying through the
appropriation bills, and on the other TO
lengthen out the session indefinitely. The
former, under the lead of Cronkrite, under.

other side undertook 10 delay the work by

For the brief time occupied, it was the

The great strike of the western iron
workers on June 1st took place as anticl'
pated, over one hundred mills In territory
covered by the Amalgamated Association
having shut down on that day. The strike
includes about all the iron works west OF the
Alleghenies, and throws $1,000 people out
of work. The strike is for the new scale
established by the association, and promi-
SEES to be a long and hard struggle. Thus
far but one in ten OF the mills have acceded
to the new scale, though the strikers are
confident all will come in before fall.
