VALEDICTORY.
Delivered by Miss Fabiola Wilt.
At the Annual Commencement
OF the Sisters School,
TUESDAY JUNE %, 1891.

TUESDAY JUNE 23, 1891.
Only q few moments since, and
it was with hearty goodwill you
were welcomed TO this Hall to
witness our Closing Exercises.
This evening for the last time my
classmates and [ appear before
you as pupils of The Convent of
Mercy school, and it has fallen
to me to bid FAREWELL ..
Tonight we close the chapter
Of our happy school life to enter
on a new era OF usefulness. How
ardently have we sighed for this
crowning Of our struggle-for this
victory. How many happy pictu-
res did not imagination paint of
the closing scenes Of our school
girl days, and the thought i'll
trudes now that we have won the
victory, does happiness await us
III cur new sphere? Happiness
viii be ours if the future deals
with us as kindly as our beloved
teachers have done. We can not
leave forever our dear Convent
school without thanking the dis
interested and gentle Sisters for
their unwcaring and patient, low
ing kinkness and care during ell
these years. We hope that our
future will show conclusively that
we profted by their instruction, Sc
cular as we'll as religious and that
we shall not be so recreant as to
prove unworthy Of the care SO
generously bestowed upon us.
Years may pass but the remem-
brance of our beloved Sisters will
never be effaced. Thanks, a
thousand times, thanks.
To you Rev. Father and belo-
yad pastor, will say that our good
wishes for you viii be carried by
angels to the throne Of One who
knows our thoughts.
4 thousand thanks to our dear
parents for the care they have
taken for our spiritual as well as
worldly welfare by securing us a
good Catholic education and thus
prepared us to battle against adj
vcrsities that even your loving
care can not foresee or fOrewarn
us, your children. And now dear
companions of our school days
with whom we have SO long shar-
ed both our little joys and sor-
rows, this right reveals to us a
new existence. We go forth into
the unknown trials, and you re-
main for a while with our below
ed teachers, but let us be true to
our God, our parents, and our
dear Convent of Mercy School. L
must now bid you farewell.
Kind fathers and sisters, the
time OF parting has come-the
time when our lips must frame
the word farewell. We do it with
sadness, but, find comfort in the
surety that, God willing your
lives, your piety, and your learn
ing will continue devoted to care
of religion and education in dear
old st. Martins. Beloved sisters
and loving playmates for the last
time l must say-but no. l
cannot utter that sad, sad word
but, will wish all good night, but
not goodbye.

The ReguIntion of the Lobby.

The lobby is so universally recognized as
an evil. and yet politicians seem so COM
monty to agree that it is necessary one,
that any efforts for its regulation must com
inand the interest of all patriotic Amer-
cans. The recent experiments in this di-
rection in Massachusetts are described in
the November Forum by Josiah Quincy,
the Democratic leader of the lower house
of the legislature in that state, who had
large share in preparing the act in ques-
tion. Though the principles on which the
law is based are quite novel in American
legislation, and though it met with violent
opposition, it has been amply justified by
its results, in Mr.. Quincy's opinion; and
we may doubtless expect similar acts to be
passed in other states before many years
have gone by. Among other reforms, it
has completely done away with the levying
of blackmail on corporations by profession

4 Healthy Illustration of the Due


In the ease of George II. Abbott, alias
Frank c. Amy, the course of Justice has
had its full and proper sway, and every
well-minded citizen gives a sigh of relief
that the brutal murderer was fairly tried
and Immediately sentenced by the chief
justice and an associate of the New Hamp-
shire bench Small attempt was made at
the trial, even by Alnly's counsel, to pose
Almy as hero, and the court proceedings
were marked by no offensive effort to man
ufacture sympathy for the prisoner Know
lug that a jury would certainly convict
him, Almy, as his only hope for mercy,
pleaded guilty, and thus put his case in the
hands of the court. The hearing of the
evidence, beginning on Tuesday morning,
occupied two days. Wednesday morning
the arguments of the counsel began and
We're finished at noon. At 1890 Almy
was on his way to the state prison at Con-
cord by order of the chief justice. Half
an hour later his sentence to be hanged on
the first Tuesday in December, 1892, was
handed down. This was prompt and eX-

A Beautiful Tower.

The tower of the new Madison Square
garden in New York is now finished and is
one of the most striking and beautiful
architectural features OF the metropolis. 1t
is surmomted by a figure of Diana, the
work of the sculptor st. Gaudens. The
height of the tower to the head of the
statue is 341 feet, and the highest point to
which the public is admitted is 800 feet. 1t
is the tallest structure in New York north
of the city park. There are three electric
lamps in Diana's forehead, POO in the cres-
cent under her feet, 1900 in the tower and
1850 on the roof garden. There is search
light at height of 2S2 feet, which is
mounted on carriage, and goes on rails all
the way around the tower. This light
carries its big beam of white light dis
tance of three miles. The statue of Di-
ana is poised on one foot, in which posi-
ton il revolves, acting as weather-vane.
Although the figure is 20 feet tall and
weighs 1000 pounds, it turns at a wind
pressure of One-half pound. The tower is
a remarkably successful adaptation from
the Giralda at Seville, Spain, and is the
work of Mr.. White of the well-known ar
chitect's firm of McKim, Mead & White.

Another strong point has been scored for
the civil service law The supreme court
of the District of Columbia rendered a de
cision on Monday upholding that provs-
ion of the law which forbids the levy of
political assessments on government office
holders. The case was that of c. n. New
ton, president of the Old Dominion league
of Virginia, who asked for contributions
in 1889 in aid of the Republican ticket in
that state. He was indicted for the offence
and his defence was, first, that his acts
were not contrary to the law, and second,
that the law was unconstitutional if the
acts charged against him were unlawful,
The decision of the court unanimously up
holds the law.

The Way the Alliance Movement Foots
lFrom the New York Times.

The evident fact is that the Kansas farm
er went to the political cave of Adulam
when he was in debt and discontented and
came ont again when he was out of
debt and contented. Last year he was
burning the grain which this year he is
selling at satisfactory prices. Then he
demanded all kinds of help from the
government, and now he wants nothing
but good price for his crop, and the larg-
est and most honest dollar attainable with
which to measure the same. Mr. w. 4.
Petfer, being in the Senate for six years, is
the main beneficiary of the misfortunes of
his constituents. 1t is safe to say that
there will be no more political successes for
the Petfers and Jerry Simpsons until there
are some more hard times for the Western
farmers

MASKED ROBBERS
Hold up Saloon Men and Take
Their VaIuableS.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 3l.-At O'Clock
this morning there were three men in
the saloon Of Mossberker, Beder-
man & Peck, at No. 1877 West Six
teenth street. They were the
bartender. the night waiter and John
T. Coughlin, an employe OF Johnson q
Co. At O'Clock two men entered the
saloon and called for drink. The bar
tender stopped down TO get bottle
near, and, while in that position, one
or the customers drew his re-
volver and pointed it at the bar
tenders head. The other customer
covered the waiter. and just then two
masked men, in league with the two
strangers, entered. One of them
looked after Coughiin while the other
prled open the cash drawer and
took $3.50. They then formed the
three saloon men in line and made
them stand close to the fence while
the treasurer Of the robbers searched
the pockets of their victims and secured
some $40. three watches and some jew
elry. The robbers then jumped over
the fence and escaped. This is the
fourth robbery of the kind that has oc-
cured in the vicinity in two weeks.
On the occasion of the robbery of Nc
Shane's saloon the proprietor was shot
and killed, He offered resistance.

"IVANHOE."
First Production Of Sullivan's New
Grand Opera.

Grand Opera.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-Sir Arthur Sulli-
vans grand opera "Ivanhoe" was pro-
duced tonight. at Mr.. D'Oyly Carriers
new opera honse, The Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess
of Edinburgh were present and upon
entering the royal box they were greeted
with an outburst of applause from one
of the most brilliant audiences that ever
filled a theater. Sir Arthur Sulli-
van appeared to be rather worn
and anxious when he took his
seat as conductor. The short prelude
which replaced the usual overture was
played amid an uprOar in the gallery
and pit, the occupants OF which
protested vigorously against per-
sons being allowed to stand in the
gangway. After this cause of disturb
ance had been removed the performance
went OH almost without hitch. Every
time the curtain fell louder and louder
shouts of applause expressed the de-
light of the audience. 1t was superb
performance, and the artistic mise Ell
scene has never been eQualed on any
London stage except that OF the Ly-
ceum.
The libretto, which was written by
Mr.. Sturgis, follows the plot of the
novel very closely. Nothing that Sir
Arthur Sullivan has written before
approaches "lvanhoe" in viraiity,
imaginative power and breadth of
Individual ty and style. 1t embodles
the ripest development of his genius.
Doubts have been expressed as to
whether his dramatic power was equal
to his lyrical art, but the great duet
in the third scene of the second act
and the death song of Ulrica in the last
act, though not reaching to the highes-
flights of grand opera, were most Deau
tiful and impressive. The audience
listened spellbound to the singing
of these songs, and at their
conclusion broke into thunders
of applause. The music was OF rich
sorority and poyphonic elaboration,
recalling, without initiating. work OF
Wagner. The attention of the audience
was rIyeted throughout the entire per-
furmance, and the play has secured an
undoubted success. Miss MacIntyre'S
Rebpcca was superb impersonation,
replcte with womanly charm and in
tense dramatic feeling. She never
before sang and acted so well.
Miss Palliser, and Messrs. Oudin,
Davies and Salmond were all
fine in their respective parts. The cho-
rus and orchestra were composed OF fine
material, showing evidence OF splendid
training. Messrs. Sullivan, Sturgls and
d'Oyly Carte were recalled twice and
received an ovation at the finish.

Nav Change the Question.

SEATTLE. Wash. Jan. 31.-Jas. G.
Swan of Port Thousand, has obtained
and publishes affidavits of numerous
sealers that fur seals are born all along
the coast, and that pups can swim as
soon as born. If this can be proved, it
is said. it will change whole Behring sea
controversy, as it is claimed now that
tur seal breed only on islands, and that
the Prl blotf species would be extinct
if hunters were not excluded from
Behrlpg sea. Judge Swan offers to
prove the truth of his statement to con-
gress on a federal commission. Fur
seals were never so abundant at Cape
Flattely as now. They are found in
myriads and Indians are killing them
