Commencement Exercises.

Friday forenoon last Was the time
set for the commencement exercises
Of the graduating class Of 1893 Of the
Memphis high school. The weather
was very disagreeable, but the Opera
House vas filled to its utmost capacity
by scholars and patrons Of the school.
Miss Inez Cunningham furnished
most excellent piono music, while
Rev. Hogne lei in prayer on calling
the audience to order. T;,e class
certainly ranked the highest, in the
way of thought presented and in the
delivery Of several essays aud ora
tons, in the past three years. The
peiceut was high and their Efforts were
SO nearly equa! that it would take Il
good judge 10 uiake preference.
The boys were fortunate in their
selections Of subj cts and the delivery
was iine and brought out much
applause. The only trouble, wa, the
apparent fright or timidness usually
the case with young men. But the
Young ladies' seemed to be perfectly
free from this tinilness and were AS
apparently comfortable as they would
have been at their homes. We
would like to give a synopsis Of each
subject presented, but space will not
admit. The following is the names
of the class, with the subject of the
essays or orations.

ATTEMPT TO KILL IN EDITOR.
a Shot Fired Into His Onoc by an Unknown
Enemy.a

MONTREAL Sept. 17.-An attempt was made
to-day to kill Alphonse Fiiiatrault. a promi-
ncnt French Canadian journalist and editor OF
the we'll known anti clerical paper. the Can
ada Rerie,r. Filatrault's newspaper has for
some time been carrying on an active crusade
against clerical abuses. and not long ago the
editor was excommuncated by Archbishop
Fabre. the head OF the Roman Catholic Church
in this diocese Filiatrault took m action
against the Archbishop for $4,000 damages.
and it is now pending before the courts.
The attacks made by tho paper upon ecclesi
astical abuses have aroused great deal OF Ill
feeling among tho Eoman Catholic popula-
ton. and Fiiatrault has been frequently
threatened. \ few days ago he received
letter signed. :" A father OF u family" In which
the writer said:
"Iknow somebody who has decided to end
it with you and to blow your brains out as
soon as he will have the OCCASION. We will
hear some day that tho carcass Of Flliatrault Is
lying at the corner of the street"
Filiatrault paid no attention to the threat.
but the writer's words came very nearly being
vate residence Is at 3l2 Craig street. in the
east end OF the city.
During the morning. while Mrs. filiatrault
was arranging her husbands private office. q
shot was fired from the street and whizZed by
tho woman. entering the walls Of the hallway.
There Is no doubt that the man who fired
the shot thought that it WAS tho editor OF the
Rerupir who was in the room and that tho bull
let was intended for him.
