Commencement.

Perhaps hundred thousand boys and
girls will be graduated from school this
June and put out upon the mercies of
the cold world. They will all believe
they are going to conquer the universe
in some way. The pupils in the lower
classes of their schools will look up to
them as to superior beings, and with the
music, the bouquets, the sweet incense
of applause and the new clothes the
graduates themselves cannot be blamed
for thinking they are something uncom-
mon.
They will learn better fast enough
when they come to rub against the
world. They will find that nobody is
anybody very much, and that the world
values people only in proportion as they
can help it in some way.
Most of these young people, if they are
of the right sort. trust mankind. They
believe there is such a thing as disinter-
ested friendship, as true love and the re-
alization of high and generous hopes.
And so there is. Only they will be told
first thing on their entrance in the eworld
that there are none of these things; that
human life is nothing but a selfish, saw
age scramble, every man for himself and
the devil for them all.
Boys and girls, don't believe it. Keep
your own hearts always warm, generous
and true. See to that and you will be
sure to meet others like you. 1t is the
natural law of attraction.
Then again, do not give up your lofty
dreams. You can achieve them, though
it is infinitely harder than you now
think. You must knock long and des-
perately at the doors till you are almost
exhausted, but they will open to you.
Know that for certain. Success is dead
sure to come to the one who works hard
enough and waits long enough. It gen.
orally does not come in the way he ex-
poets, hardly ever, in fact, but that only
proves that his way was the wrong way.
For this reason it is not we'll to be too
set on your own particular road up the
hill. Keep your minds always open or
receptive, so as to recognize the best
when it does come. So shall you keep
your lives high and pure, SO shall you
not crystalline into hard, selfish, mean,
stingy, materialistic old fogies.
This is our baccalaureate sermon.

A Socialistic Experiment.

William Morris, the poet, and some OF
his British Socialistic confreres are max
ing curious ventures in the line of estab-
fishing equality among men. These ad-
vanced thinkers are inviting working
men to spend evenings at fashionable
and wealthy London clubs.
The idea in this is to Introduce refine
ments among workingmen," it is said.
They desire the British workingman to
see how those who consider themselves
his betters live and act, and especially
how they eat, hoping thereby that he
will go and do likewise. "I'n do any
thing in reason, but don't ask me to eat
pie with a fork" said the American Pc
troleum prince to his daughters, and
this may possibly be the Judgment Of
the British workingman when asked to
dine with the literary and artistic people
of London. At any rate he has already
passed the ordeal of one dinner on the
opening night of the United Democratic
club, which is to be the common meet
ing ground of literature and labor. This
club will hold weekly sessions at which
viii be debating, singing and smoking.
The banquet mentioned was called a
Bohemian supper" but the caterers
for the evening did not widen the es-
thetic atmosphere by the food they pro-
vided that time. 1t consisted, among
other things, of beefsteak pudding and
tripe.

Electrician 0. T. Crosby read at a
meeting of the electrical engineers pa
per on the possibilities of long distance
electric railways. Lieut.. Crosby be-
ieves In them. He is satisfied that the
electric motor will be better adapted to
the high speed of long distances than to
street cars. The street car motor is in
numbered with complicated gearings
that are necessary in order to reduce its
speed to the rate proper upon crowded
thoroughfare and to stop 1t quickly.
This lessons its commercial efficiency"
For long distance traction, however, this
gearing would not be necessary, thus
lessening the cost of the motor material
ly and making the commercial efficiency
of the electric locomotive equal to that
Of the steam motor.

Through the Sac and Fox treaty Just
concluded by the Indian commissioners
400, 900 acres of valuable land will soon
be available for settlement by white
49, Indian territory. Each In
men IN 49, T.. ss.s
dian has agreed to take 16U acres 49,
crafty and settle down to farming or
stock raising like white man. This is
a great concession on the part of the In
dians. To protect the red farmers and
prevent their being swipdled out of the
farms by their white brothers 1t is pro-
vided that half of each farm shall be in
alienable and is not to be sold for thirty
five years, during which time it shall
also be free from taxation. The Indians
have their choice of the lands, and after
they have taken such as they wish the
government pays them $1.224 the acre
for what is left. This will be one of the
most interesting experiments yet made
in the direction of settling the red man
in one spot and finally civilizing him.

there was that suggested pastel of a

An effectiva device for heating cars

An effective device for heating cars by
steam and doing away with the awful
car stove has been adopted by one of the
large railway companies. Steam pipes
run from the engine the whole length of
the train under the cars. Exhaust steam
is utilized, being kept in circulation by
a small pump fixed to the tender. The
car is ventilated by air passing over the
pipes and under the floor, entering
through holes in the floor. A branch
from the steam pipe runs under each
seat.

Rider Haggard complains that Amer
ican publishers not only pirate his sto-

that if Mr.. Rider Haggard does not want
his stories cut down he ought not to
spin them out so long.

A Girl WranGler.

In Cambridge university, England,
the student who passes best in mathe-
matics at the annual examination is
called the senior wrangler. 1t is the
highest honor attainable. This year
something like cold wave was passed
down the spinal column of conservative
England by the announcement that this
honor has been won by girl, Philippa
Fawcett. That is, she would have won
it If she had been young man. Cam
bridge will not bestow collegiate titles
on women, though it permits them to
take its studies. The senior wrangler,
man, was announced, and after his name
that of Miss Fawcett, with the state
saent that she passed the better examinl-
alton. The feelings Of that young man
may be imagined. rsu~,. ,...-.......
The highest intellectual test known in
university life women have now passed
triumphantly. While six men failed in

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The educational
bill was taken up in the Senate late this
afternoon, and Mr. Blair proceeded with
his argument in support of it. In conclu-
sion he spoke of the opposition to the bill,
and said it came largely from the friends of
the parochial system. The Jesuits land in
that term he included those protestants who
favored UNCONVENTIONAL instruction. had un-
taken to overthrow the public school sys-
tenn of the country. He declared that the
Catholic masses were in favor of the bill.
They were for free schools. Most of the
greatest and best of Catholic public men
were for the bill.
At the close Of Mr.. Blair's speech, Mr..
Faulkner obtained the floor to speak on the
bill, and the Senate at $50 o'clock ad-
journed till tomorrow.
This was the eighth day of Mr.. Blair's
opening argument in support of the e1uca-
tional bill He commenced it on Feb. 5.
but there were some days when by reason
of the Senate going into executive session
he was prevented from continuing his re-
marks. Exclusive Of the report Of to-day

of which consisted Of papers that he read

Practices of Deputies.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The House Judi
ciary committee purpose TO investigate the
manner In which, in certain parts OF the
south, United States deputy marshals make
cases with the sole object, it is alleged, Of
securing fees from the government. There
have been, from time to time, numerous
and vigorous complaints that it was the
practice Of deputy marshals TO make ar
rests upon the most trivial pretexts for vio-
lation OF the revenue, timber, and other
laws OF the United States, in order that the
oiiiclals making the arrests might reap large
pecuniary remuneration.
A SUSPICIOUS RECORD IN ALABAMA.
The Attorney General recently requested
the committee to make an inves igation int o
the practice in the United States courts in
Alabama Of suspeading sentence in crimi-
nal cases after securing conviction. He
laid information before the committee
showing that numerous sentences had been
suspended In the cases of persons convicted
OF violations of the timber laws, and init
mated that there were good reasons to sus-
pect that this was part of a scheme on the
part OF subordinate officers to secure fees.
ONE MAN LET OFF THIRTEEN TIMES.
One man, he said, had been convicted
thirteen times, and sentence had been as
many times suspended. The committee in
structed Chairman Taylor to report reso-

committee Of the charges alleged against
the Alabama court officials.

vidiog that United States court judges, in
delivering charges to juries in criminal or
civil action, shall not express an opinion
