Glass Day Exercises at the High
School--Class OF, $50.
The first event of commencement week
at the High school occurred last evening in
the character of class day. The audto-
rum contained more people than it could
comfortably hold. speaking well for the
popularity of the class and the generosity
with which invitations had been distribn-
ted, though the result, on warm evening.
was not altogether pleasant. The literary
exercises were exceptionally good, the only
drawback being general softness of voice
that prevented those in the rear from hear
ing. Marring the completeness of effect
was an allusion to city politics, not onlv
dsreSpectful, but entirely uncalled for and
in deplorable taste. Music was furnished
by chorus of girls and by quartet of
young men, the latter singing exceedingly
well.
Milton Rex, president of the class, deliv-
cred the customary address of welcome.
The literary star of the evening was the
Grafton and unwilling of the class
MOTTO '.Per Gradus," by Miss Matte
Ankeny. Lofty and cultivated thoughts
were clothed in choice and elegant Ian
guage and the Grafton was delivered with a
modest, maidenly enthusiasm that charmed
the audience. The class history, by Miss
Bertha Taylor and class prophecy, by Miss
Margaret Henderson, were bright and
spicy, but their personal allusion were so
much Greek to the majority of the audience.
The class poems was witty and chic and
Miss Lily Harmon was roundly appauded.
Miss Annie Draper, with mixture of
winsom grace and serious philosophy, de-
livered the address to the junior class,
which was pleasingly responded to by Miss
Amelia Harrington. A novel and entirely

WAY OF THE TRANsGREssoR.
Policeman John Duffy Retired by
MayOr ArNes.

John Duffy is one of the newly-appointed
patrolmen vino now realizes the truthful
ness of the Scriptural doctrine that ''the
way of the transgressor is hard" AL
though Duffy's antecedents were somewhat
questionable, he secured an appointment to
the force by Mayor Ames. He IS man of
ability and culture. Indeed, it is said, that
he is college graduate. By dint of
multifariouS and apparently sincere prom
ises of reformation he succeeded in enlisting
the sympathies and aid of several prominent
Democrats who petioned the mayor for the
appointment. Up to few days ago Off
Ger Duffy's department has been above a
shadow of suspicion. Recently he has
strayed from the paths of rectitude and in
dulged in too frequent draughts of stimulat-
ing liquids. Early yesterday morning,
while under the influence" and patroling
his beat on Western avenue, he noticed a
colored soldier emerge from house and
hasten down the street. The patrolman
commanded halt and then asked the sol
der respecting his mission at that hour and
the soldier replied that he had just left his
wife and was on his way to Fort Smelling,
where he had to answer roll call. Il don't
believe you," retorted the officer. ''Show
me where you live" Words were of no
avail and the anxious soldier succumbed to
the inevitable and showed Officer Duffy to
his house. Here were found young mu-
latto woman, who was introduced as the
wife of the suspected soldier, and
an aged German woman, the only occu-
pants of the house. The officer demanded
the marriage certificate. which was pro-
duced. The husband then insisted on his
right to go, and in order to avoid the guard
house started for the fort, leaving the officer
in the house. Fired with liquor, the
lecherous officer made overtures first to the
colored and then to the old lady. He met
with stern rebuff in both instances. He
then resorted to physical force, but his
designs were frustrated. He left, but only
to return, when the same order of things
was repeated. The colored woman lost no
time in reporting the shameful occurrence
at police headquarters yesterday, and late
in the afternoon Mayor Ames made an in
vestigation, the result of which was to
summarily dismiss Duffy from the force.

Proves to be Genuine.
OTTAWA, Ont, June S.-The last issue of
the official Gazette contains an application
for divorce which is worthy of more than
passing notice. DR.. Lavelle, who was one of
the medical commissioners appointed to in
quire into the mental condition of Louis
Riel, and warden of the Kingston peEiten-
tiary, has a son who is a practcing physician
at Smiths Falls, small town some nine
miles from Ottawa. Will, for that is the
junior doctors name when youth was ever
ready to assist in all kinds of sports or games,
and without him pleasure-making circles
were incomplete wnen residing with his
father in Kingston. Prominent among the
visitors at his fathers house was healthful,
handsome but hayward girl named Ada,
whose parents home was in the country
some six miles distant. Ada and Will were
fast friends, but marriage they never
thought of, although the general opinion
among their friends was that they would
make loving and happy couple.
Theirs was only familiar friendship. When
81 years of age Will graduated as an NJ. d.
Shortly afterward he was visiting friends in
Hamilton, Ont. Learning that Ada was
there he paid her visit. Old times was the
subject of their conversation. Will got q
genuine marriage license, and ayoung clergy
man present performed the ceremony. The
'mock'' marriage was carried out amidst the
Will started for Windsor, Ont, with as light
and innocent heart as ever throbbed in the
breast of man. After returning home he told
Il college friend of the happy time he spent
in Hamilton, and also the fun he enjoyed
over the "mocs' marriage. His friend,
however, told him that the matter was too
serious for fun, as the marriage was evidently
legal one. This Will could not
believe. Writing to the late James
Bethune, Q. c., Toronto, the ablest law
yer in Canada, VIII learned to his amazement
that the marriage was legal one, and that
he and Ada were man and wife. By this time
he was engaged to another young lady, for
whom he had formed great attachment.
Shortly after her visit to Hamilton, Ada was
courted and won by young gentleman of
that place. The latter had some business in
terest in the United States and he persuaded
Ada to set an early day for their marriage
Will heard of the news and at once realized
the terrible position into which Ada was
about to be placed. He Informed the aft
anced husband Of the true state of affairs
Only three or four friends have known the
secret. At last, however, the facts reached
Wills father, and the former, acting upon
his advice, took the initiative steps to undo
the ties which bind them together These
particulars will be, therefore, inquired into
by the divorce committee of the senate.

White wing. at calhoun.

The first regatta of the season was held at
Lake Calhoun, yesterday afternoon, and
proved exceedingly interesting. A little
breeze dimpled the waters of the lake, at the
start, increasing to u good breeze shortly
after, then dropping to almost a dead calm.
The time, therefore, was slow and the result
was to open the way for new claims of what
the different yachts can do in heavy weather
The entries were the following: Racquet,
Kittie Clyde, Biackbrd, Pearl and Peerless.
The course was nine miles, or three times
around the triangle, starting from Mooris
dock. The first round was exceedingly close
but in the second the fastest boats forged
ahead and the Blackbird, Racquet and Clyde
had pretty race. The former stretched too
far over to the south and became becGlmed,
losing her the race, the latter coming in first,
but the former winning on corrected time.
a second regatta, in which several new boats
will enter, will be held shortly.
