erS knew the circumstances and ap-
preciated the humor of her references.
She closed by saying: "Boys Of '92.
your girl classmates part from you
with many regrets, yet with bright
memories of your numerous kind
deeds. In your march up the heights
of success, may you ever hear Oul
greeting of encouragement and con-
graduation, and when our Father
calls His children home may there be
a grand reunion of the class of '92."
"The Girls of '92" were treated of by
VIM. Hoscheid. He said that the
class numbers 3S girls. II of whom are
poetry and romance girls with fair
hair and complexion and unmiStak-
able marks of calm, social and cheer
full minds, and rs are girls of history
with dark hair and complexion, dis
tinguished for strength and firmness,
ability and courage. In the class OF
'92 ali of these qualities are beauti-
fully blended in either of these classes.
The 38th member is a s'red, red rose
The girls of the class have distin-
guished themselves not only in the
classroom, but in the literary meet
ings met the boys in debate and
showed that they were mistresses of
the situation. AS writer's and speak
ers and teachers they have won credit
marks. He said that the boys would
always be justly proud of their class
mates, and would look back with
pleasure to the days spent in their
presence at the Normal.
The class poem was written by Miss
Myrtle Brown and read by her. 1t
was entitled 1.-THE Legend of Maiden's
Rock" and was very excellently writ.
ten. The first two verses will give an
idea of it:
Will you harken now, dear reader, while story
I'll relate,
quaint old Indian legend, founded near oul
On the old Lake Pepin towering Ger its waters
deep,
Stands rock that's high and stately Maiden's
Rock or Lovers Leap.
Long ago before the paleface e'er had seen this
region fair,
When the red man trod the forests wild and free
as birds Of air,
Here within the pleasant valley, with their tepees
clustering round,
Dwelt the mighty chieftain, Red Wing, and his
warriors OF renown.
Miss Mabel Pond was the class pro-
phetess. She had heard clairvoyant
stating the future destinieS of the
class, good and bad, mostly good. 1t
was well prepared and was fully ap-
preciated by the class.
The pleasing class song was sung.
1t was written by Miss Nettie Brown,
and the first verse was as follows:
Sweet May-time, we've welcomed your bright
sunny days,
To completing our labor now Ger,
AS we spend our last day in this long-cherished
hall,
For you all we give greeting once more.
COlumbia's class we would ever be called.
May we long be remembered by you!
Though not first in number, oh! gaily we sing,
We're the star class of she year ninety-two
The class will was read by Miss
Lura Gandell, and was brimfull of
bright things. A few of the sections,
leaving out names, are as follows:
Fourth-Knowing Miss IS in
fatuation for geometry, we bequeath
to her a pickax to enable her to pick
out all difficult original demonstra-
tiOns.

BACCALAUREATE SERVICES.
Rev. A. r. Taylor Deliv cred an Able
Sermon to the Normal Graduates.

Every available seat in the opera
house was occupied Sunday fore
noon. 1t was pleasant day and SER
vices in most of the churches had
been dispensed with; these and other
reasons brought out fullyone thousand
people to hear the baccalaureate SER
vices for the Normal graduating class.
The clergy of the city occupiedthe left
of the stage, and choir consisting
of Misses Sparrow, Grannis, Sweetland
and Griffin, and Messrs. Wait, Brett,
Thomas and Hughes, had seats upon
the right. Miss Cora Carney was the
accompanist. The graduating class
marched down from the school build
ing in body and took seats in front.
After the singing of the doxology,
Rev. d. Husband gave an invocation,
and the choir sang "Gloria." Rev. l
Bergstrom read from the Sth book of
Proverbs, the choir followed in sing
ing "Nearer my God to Thee" Rev.
Husband read Matt. XIV, 1-31, and
the anthem, "Praise We the Father"
was sung. Prof. A. II. Pearson offered
prayer, and the choir responded with
1.-THE Lord is my Shepherd"
Rev. A. r. Taylor spoke without a
text, saying that instead of regular
sermon he would offer few refec-
tions in this quiet hour in the prepa-
ratiOns for busy week which the
class were making. He would not
speak of education, as that is unnec-
essary in this day and age. The man
without education is out of the race
before it begins. 1t is no longer in
luxurY's catalogue, and the man with
double negatives and misplaced part
ciples takes back seat.
We all have three spheres in which
we must work-the family, the state
and the church; or. in society, in poll
tics, and on religion. Society or di-
vine brotherhood is a divine institu-
tion, and what you find wrong in it
you are bound to try to right, and to
maintain the good. Wherever you
may locate, there you will find place
in which to work. If you are in an
unintelligent community, try to deep
en- the current of wisdom. If for one
person you swing open the gates OF
culture you have accomplished some
thing. Notice the terrible frigidity
with which society treats an inirm-
ity in woman, and how it smoothes
and purrs over the same in a man
This is but one of the opportunities
that you may have for doing good.
You might also work to make society
little less trivial, for in some quar-
tiers triviaffty seems to have the floor
to-day. Make your locality more in

he declared, and ths Cleveland crowds
cheered. Gov. Albeit was making a
strong, thoughtful speech. Without
warning, without rhetorical ornament,
he mentioned the name Of Cleveland.
The volcano Is in uproar. Up, up, all
about the hall the delegates are climb
ing, yelling as they rise.
Above the tumult floats the white
banner OF Michigan. On either side
looks down the face OF Cleveland. Up
again comes the wild storm OF cheers,
beating In waves against the snowy en-
sign. From the seats of Michigan n
delegate carries the banner across the
aisle to the seats of New York. Gen.
Sickles waves his crutch In anger.
Back" Back" cry the chiefs
of Tammany. The whole body of
delegates face inward about the circum-
ference OF the great floor. In the center
the Tammany tiger, crouched low,
growls ominously at the floating banner
of Cleveland. 1t is like a gigantic
prize ring Lieut.. Gov Sheehan, blue
eyed and smiling, leans over to Don

votes" From the galleries hundreds OF
men, in their shirt sleeves, leaned out
into space and screamed.
"The candidate l have named" cries

they cry, with one voice, and Kisses
answer them. AS chance came, the
speaker struggled through his speech.

citizen, Grover Cleveland" and so he
closed.
A storm Of deafening applause united
with the thunder of the storm outside
seemed to shake the great wigwam from
foundation to roof.
AT this point proposals to adjourn
were volunteered from the galleries, but

the minority Of the committee had re-
port to make through him, and he should
expect the committee to listen to this
before ordering the previous question.
This suited the convention exactly, and
1t roared its assent.
Reading of the Platform.
Colonel Villas stepped to the edge of
the platform, resolutions in hand, and
slowly and with a powerful voice he
begaq the reading. He got on as far as
the reference TO the Democratic leaders
who had succeeded the immortal Jeffer-
son from Madison to Cleveland when
he stopped. He had touched off the
powder magazine. The explosion was
instantaneous, and it shook the wig
wan. With one wild, shrill warwhoop
of delight the greater part of the con-
vention and the spectators jumped to
their feet and waved hats, handker-
chiefs, fans, and umbrellas, and uttered
shout after shout, and as fast as one set
of throats and arms showed signs of
WEAKNESS another set took up the jubi-
lation and carried it on with increasing
volume and greater vibration of light
wearing apparel and the adjuncts OF hot
weather.
The reading finished, like tin
whistle in a hurricane sounded the
voice of the Chairman. He called for q
vote on the adoption of the platform.
"The platform is adopted" he cried, and
then without moments delay: "The
next business is the call of the roll for
the nomination of candidates for Presi-
dent" The great amphitheater was in
disorder, commotion was everywhere.

Before him sat the representative men
of a great party, the men who lead its
battles, rejoice in its victories and mourn
its defeats. There they spread in front
OF him, veritably q sea OF faces which
for the moment was bewildering in its
vastness. Practiced speaker as he Is,
and used as he is to facing great meet
ings, Mr.. Brice for second or two
showed that he is not insensible to the
emotions Of a supreme moment, a1lC was
visibly moved as he advanced to the
front of the platform, after demand
ing silence, TO present Rev. John
Rouse, who offered prayer. at the
close of his invocation the reverend
gentleman recited the Lords prayer, in
which he was audibly joined in several
parts OF the great convention hall.
When prayer was concluded Chair
man Brice said: Gentlemen of the
