READY NOW FOR CLIENTS.
Graduates of the National Law School Re-
ceive Their diplomas.

A large number of young men who will no
doubt in the future cause the halls Of justice
to echo with their eloquence and make lumin-
Gus the intricate problems of the law were
given their diplomas as graduates-in-law last
evening at the Academy of Music. Their alma
mater, the National University smiled upon
them in parting and admiring friends, fond
parents and of course pretty girls gave them a
cordial greeting as they emerged from the
scholastic walks into the broad highway Of the
world. Flowers aud music contributed their
part In making the occasion festive one. The
stage was handsomely decorated with flags and
bunting and foliage plants were massed in eff
fectlye groups. Above. the stage were suspended
the scales OF justice designed in flowers and in
scribed National. Lex 81" The Marine Band
punctuated the program with selections grave
and gay, but mostly gay, and as usual the music
was prominent feature of the occasion.
BISHOP Hurst, who was recently elected chan
ceIlor OF the university to succeed the late JUS
hce Miller, presided. After an invocation by
Rev. DIR. Townsend Mr.. John Goode. formerly
solicitor general of the United States, delivered
an address to the graduates, which was at once
practical and interesting.
