In tho Faculty.

DEER LoDaE, Jnne 12.-[Special. THE
graduating exercises took place this morn
ing at Cottonwood hall at IL o'clock. The
large audience which gathered to witness
the exercises show the interest which the
people of Deer Lodge and the state take in
the college. Although the rain poured and
strong wind was blowing, scarcely a chair
was vacant. There being but two gradu-
ates the programme was heightened by in
strumental music and songs. The essays
graduates, were we'll written, evincing study
and thought. They were also we'll read,
their clear and distinct annunciation en-
abling every one in the hall to hear and
understand. Numerous bouquet were sent
up to them. The president of the college,
Dr.. D. j. McMcMillan then announced that
the trustees had conferred the degree of doc
tor of science upon Rev. F. ID. Kelsey, of
Helena, and F. w. Anderson, Of Great
Falls. This is for their attainments in
botany, the special study which
they have given to Montana plants.
The president then presented
Miss Bien, who had completed the
scientific course. diploma comforting the
degree of B. L., to Miss Evans, of Anacon-
da, certificate of completion of the nor
NAL course, and to Miss Clara Spurrler, of
Garrison, and Miss Maud Stuart and Will
lam Wilson, of Deer Lodge, a certificate of
completion of the course in stenography
and typewriting. At the close Of the e1er-
cises the retiring president, DIR. Mcmillan,
made touching acknowledgment of the
kindness of the Deer Lodge people to him
during his seven years of college work
among them, and bid them loving and
hearty farewell.
Tonight the college parlors are crowded
with visitors from all parts of the state and
citizens of Deer Lodge, it being the presi-
dents reception. The trustees of the COL
lege met this afternoon. There were pres
ent Rev. E. j. Groenveld, of Butte, Mr..
Ferd Kennett, of Missoula, Messrs.
E. L. Bonner, s. E. Larabie and
Hon Conrad Kohrs, of Deer Lodge,
and DIR. D. J. Mcmillan, the retiring presi-
dent of the college. Mr.. H. !. Reed was
eipcted trustee in place, of ex-Gov. Hauser,
whose term expired to-day. The Rev. James
Reed, Of Deer Lodge, was unanamously
elected president of the college. The other
vacanies in the faculty, caused by the resig-
nation of Mrs. D. J. Mcmillan, teacher of
music, who goes to New York, Miss Jamison,
recently married, and Miss Eva Woodfelt,
who has gone to Paris, were not filled, but
the choice of the successors of these ladies
was left to the executive committee. Thus
ends the second commencement of the
College of Montana and the second COM
mencement ever held in the state.

WASHINGTON. June 12.-[Special.] Some
members of the committee ON commerce
who are opposed to any appropriation for the
day that there had been no surveys for that
portion of the river. This, Of course, is
fallacious. as money has been expended in
small amounts for the upper river for years.
Senator Casey to- day had conference with
Captain Sears, who has had charge of the
upper. Missouri work, and he said that the
appropriations have been too small, that
the amount had been merely expended ct
Rocky Point, seventy five miles west of the
North Dakota line, in Montana. The cap
tain believes that with proper
efforts the river can be put in
good condition. Vest, of Missouri,
la member of the commerce committee,
while discussing the demands made by
Washington, Montana and the Dakotas for
appropriations in the river and harbor bill,
said: "These fellows from the West want
the earth. and want it right away. They
are d--d fresh.'' This was said in COM
mittee, but it did not convince the mem
bers that the new states were not entitled to
consideration.
Representative Carter to-day received in

the arid lands, the amounts recommended
are less than would have been suggested.

tight Adapting nlnmonns.

The Journal of the Franklin Insti-
tute contains paper on precious stones
by George f. Kunz, who describes
some exceedingly interesting and beau
tiful experiments on phosphorescent
diamonds which he was enabled to
make in Paris during the exposition
through the courtesy of prominent
scientific men. A dark room was pro-
vided in which was placed collection
of over 100 diamonds. In a side of the
wall a lens was inserted, and outside
of the room new alternating arc lamp
of the ThomsonsHouston system was
hung.
The lens which was employed to con
centrate the light was covered with
violet colored glass, so that only ultra
violet rays fell on the gems, of which
but three of the entire number proved
to be phosphorescent. All the others
assumed a beautiful violet tint. The
two stones whose phosphorescence was
most marked were perfectly transpaI-
ent white stones, one having a BLUSH
tinge Mr.. Kunz says: 1.-THE phos-
phorescence exhibited by these stones
was extremely beautiful 1t remained
visible when a metallic can was put
over the lens gradually losing its in
tensity, however, fifteen minutes
after the exposure" All the other
stones were invisible in the dark

Henrv Watterson,s Thankegiving.


Mr.. Watterson writes many good
things, but scarcely ever anything
more touching and beautiful than
his Thanksgiving article, the text
of which is rs follows:
"That was a fine passage between
the Executive of Kentucky and the
wife of the condemned man, who
went to Frankfort last Friday to ask
for pardon. She had presented her
papers and sat breathless while the
arbiter of her fate perused them ;
and, as she waited, mastiA, the
playmate of the Governors little
soma beast not given to strangers
uncOiled h mself from the rug, where
he had been lying, and came up in
that friendly way which only dogs
know how to affect, with perfect sin
cerity, and, seeing suspense and pain
in the agitated features of the poor
woman, he put his paws gently upon
her knees and began to lick her
hands. The Governor finished the
papers and the petitioner was about
to speak, when the grim old soldier
said: at is not necessary, madame;
the dog has spoken for YOU" and
straightway signed the document
which was to release a dying man
from prison and enable him to go to
his grave from his own home.
One touch of nature makes the
whole world kin; and it is hard to
say which moves us the more, the
spectacle of that brave gentleman
and soldier, whom it is delight and
pride to hail as our Chief Magistrate,
stirred to the depths by the silent ell
oquence of dog; or the thought of
that noble brute, inspired by we
know not what, to become an irresis
tible pleader for mercy before the
highest court.
"The incident makes q seasonable
text. Indeed, was there AS much Of
truth as of sarcasm, in the observa-
ton of the cynic, who declared that
the more he saw Of men, the better
he thought of dogs, The love of a
dog has at least nothing sordid about
it, nor treacherous. 1t is perfectly
transparent and honest. The poor
beast knows not how to dissemble.
His courage and integrity are proof
against suspicion. Gov. Buckner
know that dog of young Simon Boil
var. lie believed in him. And,
when he saw him make common
cause with the grief-stricken woman,
as if to say "Madamc, this master OF
ours is a stern man, and maybe he
will deny you, but |, the dog, the
comrade and play-fellow of his boy,
l am your friend" he felt that, if he
followed the lead Of that dogs pity
and love, he could make no mistake.
And he did not and, then and there,
the angel that writes in a book, drew
great white mark for that Governor
and that dog"
