THE FIRST CROP.
Bennett Seminary Turns Out Its
"SWeet Girl Gradua ateS.'


Spacious Westminster church last
evening was filled almost to overflow
ing upon the occasion of the eighteenth
annual commencement Of Bennet semi
nary. While the exercises were of the
conventional, not to say stereotyped,
commencement order, the interest that
always centers upon the graduation
of a class of young ladies from the
duties of school life, and the added
charm of personal acquaintance and
friendship made the audience very at
tentive and sympathetic one, as was
shown by the warm applause and the
profusion of floral gifts with which the
lair graduates were greeted. This idea
was happily suggested by the saluta-
torium. who somewhat naively remarked
that the bud is cherished more than the
than daylight. Upon the rostrum sat
Capt. j. c. Whitney, president of the
board of trustees; Miss Kenyon. the
principal: Miss Stevens, the assistant
principal, and Rev. ID. j. Burrell. The
exercises began at o'clock, when, to
the music of grand march, the
class of ten young ladies, each
clad in simple white with flowers
at the breast appeared and took their
seats. The rather lengthy programme
was as follows:

Stella Lucille Gilman, the valedicto-
rian, took for her subject "They Have
Lived" and from few striking historic
examples illustrated how the lives that
have been lived centuries ago will bear
an influence upon lives yet to come.
Upon this vital Importance of human
influence for good or evil she made a
fervent appeal for honesty of heart,
purpose true and stability of patience.
Her farewell to the principal and
instructors of the school and address to
the class at the close, was both graceful
and impressive. The presentation of
diplomas by Capt. Whitney and bene-
diction closed the exercises of perhaps
the most successful commencement of
one of the most respected of the educa-
tional institutions of the Northwest.

A REMARKABLE TEST.
The Crime Radical Valve Gear
Does Great Execution.

A number of prominent railroad men
availed themselves of the opportunity
to witness a test of the Crime radical
valve gear yesterday afternoon. The
engine, equipped with the gear and
a coach containing the party, left
the Minneapolis u st. Louis de-
pot in Minneapolis at 2 p. m.
for st. Paul, where several more officials
Mississippi street. Here the train of
twenty-nine cars loaded with stone and
coal was coupled to the coach taking
the place of way car. At Mississippi
street the test commenced. The engine
hauled the heavy train up the steep
grade and around the curve over
the Northern Pacific track to the
Como shops without slip or stop.
The merit of this gear will be better un-
derstood when it is known that an ordi-
nary engine is unable to haul over twenty
similarly loaded cars over the same
piece of track, while it is estimated by
thoroughly posted railroad men that an
engine of this type, fitted with
the link motion could not haul to exceed
twenty-five loaded cars. This shows for
the Crime gear an increased power
equal to one-fifth. A starting test was
also made with twenty loaded cars. The
train was started from dead
stop, and when the last car
passed the starting point had
developed a speed of over
twenty miles an hour: the end of the
last car passed the starting point forty
seconds after the signal to start was
given. All present were thoroughly
well pleased, and every one, including
the owners of the gear, were surprised
at the performance. Among those
present were: W. I. Small superin-
tendent of motive power of the
Northern Pacific; j. o. Pattee, SUI
perintendent of the mechanical
department of the Manitoba: c. Eel
lows, of Cleveland, o., formerly master
mechanic of the st. Louis & Texas; II.
A. Towne. Y. L. Rice, James f. Will
hanson, d. L. Thompson and Trainmas-
ter w. E. Johnson, of the Minneapolis
d st. Louis.
Conductor Abbott, of the Minneapolis
& st. Louis, was in charge of the
train: the tests were made under
the direction of the patentees, E. j.
Wolf and John Crime. The tests are
to be repeated tomorrow with two or
three additional cars. The engine will
be at the Minneapolis & st. Louis
depot in Minneapolis, until 2 p. m,
when it will be taken to st. Paul, and
will leave the Northern Pacific yards at
3 80 to begin the tests

1T DID NOT PAY.
James Hickey, Wall Paper Dealer,
Goes to the Wall.

James Hickey, the Nlcollet avenue
wall paper dealer, made an assignment
yesterday to William q. H.Donaldson. The
direct cause of the assignment was
suit begun by the Ohio Coal company,
who garniShed the firm of Waters d
Armstrong. James Hickey came to this
city from Dayton, o., about four years
ago and bought an interest in the bust
ness of the well known firm of Middle
mist IL Taylor. At that time the firm
wished to increase its retail business,
and to also do something in the whole
sale business, and each member of the
firm put $500 into the business.
They took the double store at 412 and
414 NicOllet avenue aud continued the
wholesale business for one year, but,
finding that it did not pay, dropped that
department. At the end of the second
year, the partnership was dissolved and
Middlemist IL Taylor took a store
further down the. street. while Hickey
continued business at the old stand.
When Mr.. Hickey came here he con-
sidered himself worth $4,000, but, ac-
cording to his sworn statement, his
liabilities will foot up about $4,000 and
his assets will not amount to more than

READY TO ACCOUNT.
The Committee of Striking Girls
Makes a Fair Statement.

Makes a Fair Statement.
Carrie Farden, one of the striking
girls formerly employed by Shotwell,
Clerihew & Lothman, has written COM
munlcation which charges the commit
tee with discrimination in the distribu-
ton of money contributed to their re-
lief, and concludes by demanding an
accounting. Alice Rooney, chairman
of the committee, was seen by GLOBE
reporter yesterday, and said she would
prepare statement in reply. The fol-
lowing is the document, and it seems to
be perfectly fair and candid:
In reply to the charges Of unfair dis
tribution of the fund to aid the ''strik-
ing girlS'' lately employed by Shotwell.
Clerihew q Lothman, committed to our
charge by the various labor organiZa-
tons and other generous people of the
city, as made by Carrie Farden in her
communication, we beg to state for the
information of all concerned that they
are not true. The accusation implies
favoritiSm and unjust discrimination.
The facts are, we have paid out S711,
i'll sums varying from $3.50 to $50, to 1875
girls, the names of whom we would
willingly publish were it not that many
OF them feel delicate about appearing in
chN PuOiiS p1CoO 40 1SClplClIIo VI aus
AS regards 1.-THE satisfactory account
ing" called for, we are prepared to make
the same to committee designated by
the donors of the fund or the reporters
OF tie daily press at any time required.
Among so many applications it may be
readily perceived how difficult it was
for us to render such aid as would be
satisfactory to all, and possibly instan-
ceS nave occurred where some received
more than their circumstances entitled
them to, and others less. If such has
been the case it was an error of judg-
ment, and not done with the intention
OF discrimination against any, as
charged. Some girls were unable to
pay their board while at work for the
firm. We could not spare any money
for paying these board bills, as it was
all required to support the most needy
during tie strike. ALICE Rooney,
JESSIE ENGLAND.

of the First Baptist church, who has
just returned from a winters stay on
