West Nottingham Academy Com
mencement.

The most successful commencement
ever held by West Nottingham Acad-
cmy was the one hundred and ffty-irst
on Wednesday, June Is. 1t was held
in the pleasant grove adjoining the
Academy. The stage was tastefully
decorated with maroon and white bunt
ing, the academy colors. Excellent
music was furnished by the Noting.
ham band.
The Saiutatory was delivered by I.
E. Hindman, 1913, and was much the
same as usual. The History, by S. A.
Nickle. was entertainingly written. 1t
showed that 46 students had been in
attendance during the year, of whom
one was Post Graduate, seven Sen
ors. Is Middlers and IS Juniors. 1t
treated of the work done, and of the
students. 1t was interspersed with just
enough personalities to make it
interesting.
The Presentation orator made some
good hits.
The Mantle Grafton by Fl, G. Gil
lespie was interesting and contained
some good advice to the class of 1913.
The response by Philip J. Childs
showed that we may expect some very
good accounts from '93 next year.
The Prophecy by j. H. Magraw
made the hit OF the day. He repre-
scented himself as having been met by a
Troll who took him into the halls of
future and showed him his school
mates as they will be in 1899.
Tho subject of the Valedictory, by
A. E. Gillespie, was "Looking Back
ward" and contained some very appro-
pirate thoughts.
The medal for excellence in schol.
arship was awarded to Walton L.
Jenness.
The diplomas were awarded to the
graduates by the Principal, Prof. J. G..
Conner, with a short address. The
graduates were: Amos E. Gillespie,
Horace G. Gillespie, John Fl. Magraw,
S. Albert Nickle, Robert H. Kay,
altUU Il. gtHu6SS anu W. NuSSel
Walker.
The exercises were highly interesting
throughout and reflected credit upon
both teacher and students. At the
close Of the exercises an Alumni Asso-
citation was formed. The following
officers were elected: Pres, R. H.
Mccullough, '9l; Sec, j. H. Magraw,
1872; Treas, W. r. Walker, '92.
In the evening the ladies Of the
congregation held festival in the
grove for the benefit of the Sunday
school of the church, which was most
literally patronized. An immense
crowd assembled to discuss strawber-
ries and cream, and other tempting
deicacies and enjoy the social amen
cites of the occasion The evening
was perfect. One of those evenings
VIII oh II. Buchanan Reid describes as
'heaven and earth reconciled." The
receipts amounted to Sl55.

Mr.. Fisher emphasized his address
by placing religion before education.

A Plum Pudding in Russia.

Does any one remember Byron's fa-
nous plum pudding story? If SO, the
Nikita plum pudding story may strike
them as somewhat of parallel. When
staying at st. Petersburg for Christmas,
some English friends of the young
singer, thinking to please her and re-
gardless of the effects ON her voice, sent
her monster plum pudding as sur
prise. Imagine her amazement and
trepidation when it was announced in
every morning paper that large box,
supposed to contain an internal ma
chine, directed to the young singer, had
been deposited at the nearest police sta
ton. A letter reached her from an
authority-there are many authorities
about in st. Petersburg-informing her
that the police were chary of opening
the box, fearing it might be dangerous
to their lives, but did she know of any
one valiant enough to attempt the deed
the box should be hers.
Her impresario undertook to die in the
attempt, and on arriving at the police
station for that express purpose was
somewhat relieved to find the huge pack
age reposing quietly enough in tank Of
water. Now came the moment for the
untying of the Gordian knot, and there
reposed, wrapped in linen within an earth
enware bowl, the pudding dearest to th'
heart of Englishmen on the 25th of De
cember as every year comes around
The police still refused to be satisfied
and insisted that the terrible thing
might shroud mysterious bomb. Aftel
vast amount of probing and pronging
the pudding was at length conveyed t.
its destination, and both it and the jok,
were heartily enjoyed by the Nikit'
party.-Gentlewom

BURKE, Idaho, April 30.
EDITOR TRIBUNE believing that it
would interest the miners of the East to
hear something from this part of the
country send to you brief account of
the troubles now existing between the
mine owners and the Miners Union of
this State. The mine owners about one
year ago banded themselves together to
crush the union. They took an oath to
do this and tried in every way to accom-
plish their intentions. But up to date
theyhave not otsucceeded, land don't think
they will. On January Is they closed
down the mines, about 100 in number,
which threw over 10, 900 men out of work.
They claimed they could not afford to
work the mines, as freight rates were too
high and the price of lead and silver toe
low.
This was only a scheme to break up
the union. On March l they came tc
the men, saying they had settlement
from the railroad companies and had
adopted scale of $500 day for carmen
and shovelers, ten hours day. Now
the scale of the Miners Union demands
that "every man or boy who goes under
ground shall receive $3.5 per day for ter
hours work, and the same amount fol
nine hours night work" The men re-
fused to accept the terms of the mine
owners, and the strike is still on.
l hope that no miners from around
Freeland will be induced to come here
until the trouble is settled. The mine
owners are stubborn and the union il
strong, so your readers can see that il
will be long fight. 1t may take months
or even years, but the union intends tC
win if it takes forever This is a pool
country to come to at present, as the
strike extends throughout nearly the
whole State of Idaho. Hoping that nc
scabs or blacklegs will be shipped here
from my native town, l remain, yours
truly, JOHN H. SHovLIN.

A British Omoer's Invention.

Captain Wilson, R. N, of the torpedo
instruction ship Vernon, has invented
an appliance for cutting through the tor
pedo nets with which modern warships
protect themselves from torpedo attacks.
The experiments already made prove to
the fullest extent the tremendous power
of the new invention, which has fully
realized all its originator claimed for it.
The inventor of the torpedo net ridiculed
the idea of any instrument being able to
cut through his tough steel wire net
ting. But the trial just made has proved
the emptiness of his boast.
The great momentum of the White
head torpedo, armed with Captain Viii
sons new torpedo cutters, enabled it to
cut its way through any torpedo net,
even when the latter was set an angle of
As degs., without apparent retardation
of its fight. The cutter consists of
blades arranged scissor fashion, which
sever the wire meshes of the net, max
ing an aperture sufficient for the en-.
trance of the torpedo. Electricity.

A stock company in Vienna is about
to begin building a unique theater in
one Of the recently annexed districts.
The cost is to be $3.50, 900 or $500, 900.
The roof is to be a great rolling iron cur.
tain, after the style of iron curtains now
used before shop windows, and on hot
summer nights it is to be drawn aside 30
that the audience may be refreshed
With that arrangement the company
expects to be able to carry out its plan
to give performance every evening in
the year, or 422 performances annually,
including matinees. The theater will
accommodate 5000 persons, and the
highest price for place outside of the
boxes is to be only forty cents, although
the heaviest classical plays and the
works of the best modern dramatists
are to be produced on its stage.-Archi-

BASE BALL.

To the general public it would seem
that Freeland's Club would not be in it
this season, but such is not the case.
Very little is heard of it at present, but
the manager will surprise the base ball
people here when he announces who
will wear the uniforms. The difficulty
at present is in selecting the proper men
from the forty applicants who are desir-
GUS of playing here. Letters have been
received from parties as far west as Can
ton, Ohio, and from Danbury, Conn, in
the east, asking Manager Hanlon to sign
the writers. From Philadelphia there
are a dozen applications, and as many
more from schuylkil towns. Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre and Allentown have men
who want to wear the brown, and three
of the famous Cuban Giants have asked
what prospects there are "to catch on in
the best town we ever struck" Some
of the applicants want exhorbitant sala-
ries, but the majority seem only anxious
to get here. 1t will be impossible to
state who will constitute the team until
the manager hears from those to whom
he has sent terms and contracts.
Cutler is with Catasauqua again. The
club has new suits, consisting of light
gray pants, dark shirts, maroon belt and
stockings and gray cap.
Hazleton's Y. M. C. A. Club has re-
organized for this season. Phil Bach
man, of Freeland, has signed to play
third
The Soapies are now ready to meet all
comers. They will play this year on the
South Heberton grounds.
The Upper Lehigh Association is clear
ing off the diamond and improving the
outfield of its grounds. 1t intends to
open the season shortly, having received
several challenges. The club practices
every evening.
There is some talk of organizing a
junior league in this vicinity, to consist
of Upper Lehigh, Sandy Run, Soapies,
of South Heberton; Fearnots, of Drifton,
and the Tigers, of Freeland. To this
could be added Eckley or Jeddo, and as
these clubs are about evenly balanced
the league would be- success from the
start.
The State Base Ball League is pract-
cally assured. At meeting of repre-
sentatives from the cities of Harrisburg,
Altoona, Pittsburg, Johnstown, Allen
town, Lebanon and Reading, the prin-
cipal business was the selection of an
eighth club from the following appli-
cants: York, Danville, Meadville, Erie
and East Liverpool, Ohio. 1t was finally
decided to admit York. All the clubs
in the league are well backed financially
and there is good promise of success
Randall, of Reading; Mishler, Altoona,
and Harrington, Harrisburg, were ap.
pointed a schedule committee and it was
decided to purchase the National Protec-
ton without the reservation clause
Douglass, of Allentown, resigned as
President of the league, and J. NJ. Krei
ter, of Harrisburg, formerly manager o.
the York team, was chosen his successor
