THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The Graduating Exercises at Gorham ON
Friday.
Especial correspondence

LDPSN-e~-
GoRHAM, Jan. 23.-The examination of
classes and graduation of the first class
of 1892 of the State Normal School at
Gorham, occurred Friday the 22d.
Contrary to the usual custom, the day
was all that could possibly be desired in
the way of sunshine and good bracing
air, and this fact made itself manifest in
the large number of friends and visitors
who came to witness the exercises.
There were the usual examinations of
the various classes through the day,
which were well attended by the visitors.
Much interest was manifested in the
methods and working of the school, and
everyone seemed well-pleased with the
result accomplished.
The Calisthenics at recess attracted
considerable attention, and many favora-
BILE comments were heard on the skill dis
played by both teacher and pupils. This
is an important feature Of the school, and
one too in which the scholars receive a
faithful and persistent drill, the results
of which were manifest to all.
The graduating class claimed the larg-
est share of attention, of course, and
proved themselves well worthy of it, es-
pecially in the afternoon, when undergo
ing their examination i'll Pedagogics by
the State Superintendent. Their an
swers to his questions were brief, right
to the point, and full of common sense.
And yet his questions, as they always do,
involved some of the most difficult prob
lens that confront the teachers of today.
In the evening occurred the graduating
exercises of the class, the music being
furnished by the school. First came a
piano solo by Miss Brown, of the B class
then Miss Hartman and Miss Waite read
their themes, after which the graduating
class and the B class sang together under
the supervision of Prof Hinkley. Miss
Pride portrayed the lights and shadows
of the teachers life; while Miss Coffin
claimed that the teachers position was
one which demanded self-control as one
of the requisite elements of character.
Again the two upper classes joined in
sJust song at twilight" after which
Miss Wood considered the problem of
what should constitute the ultimate good
of the teachers endeavors.
Then Miss Pride gave solo with cho-
rus accompaniment, and the closing
theme of the evening was read by Miss
Kicker. The final music was a trio by
Misses Pride, Kicker and Brown, with
chorus by the two upper class.
The themes were noticeable for clear
ness of thought and conciseness of ex-
preston and were all rather above the
average ON such occasions.
One thing, which was especially marked
and which may be taken as one of the re-
suits accomplished by the two years
drill at the school, was the distinctness
displayed by each one; Some of them
had voices that would ordinarily be
called low and weak, and yet they could
be heard distinctly anywhere in the
room.
After the music came the comforting
of diplomas by the State Supt., the sing
ing Of the class song, the Benediction by
Rev. MI. Pratt of the North Church,
Gorham, and then the fiual good-byes
and all went home feeling well repaid
for having come.

AMERICAS TOMORROW.
Last Evening With the Methodist Social
Union.

The meeting of the Methodist Social
Uuion at Chestnut Street church last
evening was great success. The din
ner in the vestry at pm. was attended
by about $50. Besides the enjoyment of
the feast there was an election of officers.
-Messrs. Alpheus Griffin, NJ. T. Doten and
W. w. Cole were a committee to collect
the votes. They reported the election of
the following officers:

cry. E. S. Everett, j. B. Donnell, L. B. Griffin,
and G.. M. Donham.
Finance Commttee-G. Fl. Lord, j. W. Mont
gomery and B. N. Eastman.
After the dinner came the address by
Mr.. A. E. Winship, of the Journal of
Education. His subject was "America's
Tomorrow with especial stress laid up
on the influence of crises in history. In
his treatment of the subject he managed
to say enough things, sound, sensible
and bright, to keep his hearers thinking
and laughing for the next week.
We regret that lack of space prevents
an extended notice of MI. Winships ex-
cellent address.

fair was another successful event OF the

the Auxiliary and in conclusion says:

DRUGGISTS DAY.
Rum Gases Continue on the Docket in the
Superior Court.

Yesterday was druggists day in the
Superior Court. The first case in the
morning was a search and seizure com
plant against Edward w. Murphy and
Thomas j. Murphy, proprietors of a
drug store at PAL Congress street. The
officers seized, in back room, a can
containing two gallons of alcohol, a bot
tie containing about a gill of "split'' (al-
cohol and water colored with burnt SUI
gar), and bottle marked ''toothache
drops,' containing a small quantity of
what the sheriffs thought was the same
kind of mixture. Witnesses testified to
buying liquor there. The respondents,
one of them a registered druggist, took
the stand and claimed that they had sold
no Intoxicating liquor of any kind, ex-
cept as compounded in medicines, since
last August, and that the "split," as it
was called, was only some DRAWINGS or
dregs in bottle, among lot of others,
purchased day OF two before, OF a bot
tie peddler.
Judge Bonney instructed the jury that
under the statutes of the state, regis
tered druggists have the right to have in
their possession Intoxicating liquors rec
ognized by the United States DISPENSE
tory and Pharmacopeia as of recognized
medicinal utility; that the mere fact of
possession did not have that probative
force that it would in other cases: but
that the druggist had no more right to
sell Intoxicating liquors than any other
citizen. He has the right to have them
in his possession for legitimate use in his
business, compounding or mixing the
same with other ingredients in the man
ufacture of medicine or mountaineering
compounds; that if the jury found this
liquor seized was intended by them for
unlawful sale, they should render a YER
dict of guilty; if they had reasonable
doubt about it, the respondents should
be acquitted. Verdict, not guilty.
G. A. True, assistant county attorney,
appeared for the state, and W. H. Looney
for the defendants.
In the afternoon, John III. Hamel was
put on trial before the first jury on
complaint for search and seizure. He
keeps drug store at the corner of Con-
gress street and Monument square, I'M
der the United States Hotel. The depu
ty sheriffs seized there some whiskey
and alcohol. The government called
witness, one of those in the other case,
who testified to buying pint of wl1iskey
there in September.
Hamel claimed that this alcohol and
whiskey was for legitimate use, and not
intended for unlawful sale; never sold
anything to the government witness but
once, and that was a long time before.
The judge instructed the jury substan-
TALLY as in the other case. Verdict not
fuilty.
J C. A. True, assistant county attorney,
appeared for the state, and D. A. Meaher
for the defendant.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
the Kneisel Concerts.

ton concerts will be given at Kotzschmar
hall this evening. The programme, as
published yesterday, will attract all mu-
sic lovers. 1t will be seen that Mr..
Schultze will play the second cello on
this occasion and that Miss Riddle will
furnish the piano accompaniment. This
concert will prove a fitting termination
to three of the most delightful concerts
with which Portland has been favored
for the past year. A few good seats still
remain unsold at Stockbridge's.
The Rossini Concert.
Miss Leonora Won Stosch, who will be
the soloist at the Rossini concert Friday
night, comes to us with the highest
praises from the leading journals of the
country and several continental papers.
The New York Times, speaking of her
playing, said: tHer technique is well adj
vanced and she handles the bow with
firmness and vigor. The greatest prom
Use shown by the young lady in her per-
Torrance ofthe Sarasate 'Gypsey,Dancer'
was in her tasteful rendering of the can
table,
Tickets for the coocert can now be Sc
cured at Stockbridge's.
Ten Nights in Bar-room.
Last evening the Helen Mari Comedy
Company brought out the familiar "Ten
Nights in Bar-room'' at Portland thea
tire. The drama, as is well known, con-
stitutes an admirable temperance lesson
and never fails to draw an interested au-
dience. Last evening Mr.. Paige assumed
the character of Joe Morgan; Levi Dad
man that of Sample Switcher; Helen
Mari Paige that Of Mrs. Morgan; Agnes
Harrington, Mehitable, and Little Alice
Williams, Mary Morgan, to good effect.
The play will be repeated tonight.
The City Directory.
This famous humorous play, which is
conceded by the best critics of the land
to approach the very climax of farcical
fun, will be seen in this city for the first
time tomorrow evening at the Portland
Jl6dUfo, anu IL Cllo clIltOIoCinCuu u GA
tended engagements in all the important
cities of the country, from Boston
to San Francisco, is criterion,
then it is safe to predict a gala occasion
in our amusement season. The play is a
really marvellous pot-pourri of all the
elements that constitute legitimate stage
diversion, constantly feffervescing with
novel effects, charming music and terpsi
chorean festivity.
Pictures, Poems and Stories.
The Young Peoples Christian Union,
under whose auspices Mr.. Rexdale gave
his lecture reading in the Church of the
Messiah last evening, more than fulfilled
the promises made to those holding tick
cts. It is only just praise to say the
author combines with the ability to Gre
ate the rare fac guilty among writers of eff
fectively portraying his creations upon
the lecture platform. The stereopticon
illustrations were very beautiful.
Mr.. Stockbridge is hoping to secure the
great novelty, the F. Hopkinson Smith en-
tertainment, in place of Sir Edwin Al
mold.
