High School Commencement.

Commencement Day in the schools is
always pleasant occasion, and the gradua-
ton of the class of '91 was no exception to
the rule. 1t is day portentious to the
students who, from that hour, 60 forth to
fight the battles of life and whose success
depends to a great extent upon their own
unaided efforts. 1t is day when the
parents realize to greater degree than
usual the importance and benefits of the
public school system. 1t is the day and the
one day that marks the beginning of the
active career of the boys and girls, amid
the plaudits and congratulations of friends
and teachers.
The opera house was trimmed with ex-
quisite taste; flowers and bouquets i'm pro-
fuse quantities heightened the effect. The
class motto, "Mind rules the world" was
eXemplifed by miniature globe suspended
over the platform. The class was unusually
large, consisting of fifteen members, four
teen girls and one boy, as follows: Latin
course, Mary StOwell, Flora Webster;
Scientific, Clara GOoding; English, John
Phillips, Alma Zimmerman, Daisy Fairman,
Otie Cook, Minnie Sullivan, Mary Buck
minister, Clara Storrer, Blanche Rindge,
Jessie Mcdonald, Hattie Lawrence; Com
mercial, Grace Smalley, Minta Cummins.
The class originally had seven boys. One
left to go to Detroit, and five concluded to
take another years work.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l7-[Speciall-
Inc published statements that the Re-
publican Senators have virtually de-
cided to contest the seats of Senators
Hill, Brice and White attracted some
attention among the Senators to-day.
Careful inquiry fails to disclose any,
thing like an organized movement in
that direction. and in fact it appears
that Republican Senators have as vet
given the subject little thought.
SO far as Senator Hills seat is CON
cerned It's believed that when he pre-
sents himself to take the oath of office
an objection may be forthcoming from
his colleague, Senator Hiscock, based
on the charge that Senator Hill has lost
title to his seat By abandonment. Tho
question so raised would be purely
legal and some of the Republican Son
ators who would be required to pass
upon 1T as members of the committee on
privileges and ele ctions, say it would be
disclosed of, if presented, without
regard to political considerations.
AZ Republican Senator said to-day that
the contention in regard to HIPS case
Will be substantially as follows: That
his continuing to hold, after the tth of
March, 1891 (when he was entitled to be
SENATOR, an office admittedly incompat-
lble with the Senatorship operated as 4
remuneration of the latter, and that if it
has not already done SO an important
question is presented as to how long Il
person thus situated could hold the
Governorship and keep the Senator's
position vacant.
The foundation for story touching
Brice's scat seems ESQ far as the Senate
IS c2ncerned) to be confined to the few
remarks made by Senator Sherman
when his credentials we're presented.
AS to senator White. OF Louisiana, it
cannot he learned that there is any in
tention on the part of Republican lead

charges Of illegal voting.
