Commencement at the u. w.

1t is expected that the commence
ment at Madison this year will be of
exceptional interest. The Gymnasium
and Armory, which has been recently
completed, has a drill hall 17O feet long
by 50 feet wide. This will be used as an
auditorium, one of the largest in the
Northwest, capable of seating 5000
people. A departure from the practice
of the last few years will be made in
the commencement exercises. In place
of an address by aspeaker from abroad
representatives from the graduating
class will deliver orations.
The exercises begin on Saturday
evening, June IS, with the address
before the Law School by Judge
William Penn Lyon and will close
Wednesday June 20 with an Alumni
Reception and Ball. Among those who
will speak are Pres. Adams, Hon. John
C. Spooner, Major Boardman, of
Oshkosh, and D. F. Simpson, of
Minneapolis.
The people of the state who take
pride in the growth of their University
should embrace this opportunity to see
personally something of its develop
ment. Nearly 300 students have been
in attendance this year, and the work
has never been more thorough. The
Dairy Building, Horticultural Building,
Law Building, and Armory and Gym
nasium have been built within the last
few years. They are buildings worthy
Of their beautiful surroundings of lakes
and woods, and admirably adapted to
their purpose. The railroads will give
special rates during commencement
week, and great concourse is expected
at Madison.

Condition of Trade.

The outlook for business seems a
little better on the whole, though the
improvement is not great. Moreover,
it is impossible to distinguish between
mere replacement of orders cancelled
for want Of fuel or other causes, and
the new business for which works are
anxiously looking. That cancellations
have been heavy is certain, and it is not
entirely clear that orders Of equal
magnitude have gone to other works
that are able to fill them. The strikes
have not ended, though there are
renewed reports that at least a partial
settlement is near. Troops are now
under arms in belt of States reaching
all the way from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi, and in several States of the
far West, and the interruption Of in
dustry and commerce increases every
week.
Hence 1t is somewhat encouraging
that the decrease in payments through
clearing houses is but 24.3 per cent. for
the first week of June, 27.2 at New
York, but only 1914 elsewhere. The
decrease in comparison with 1892 is
about 80 per cent. Railroad tonnage is
larger than a year ago in live stock and
moderate in cereals, but considerably
smaller in coal and iron products and in
other manufactured goods West bound.
Earnings of railways indicate that COM
petition for the scanty traffic results in
low rates. On all roads thus far report
ing for May the decrease is POO per
cent, on the trunk lines IA per cent,
and on the Granger roads 16.2 per cent.
These returns scarcely warrant
advance in stocks, but the Trust stocks
have risen $125 per 800 on account of
action in the Senate favorable to the
sugar schedule, and railroad stocks SO
cents, partly in sympathy, partly
because the defeat of the bill to repeal
the tax on State bank issues was
considered favorable, and partly
because London is expected to purchase
American stocks when the pending
tariff bill has passed. Railway reorgani-
cations make slow progress, but
nevertheless offer hopes to holders OF
securities. It is also reasoned that an
enormous traffic, which the prolonged
strike has interrupted, will busy the
roads when the interruption ceases

Commencement in Centra!ia.

The Second Annual Commencement
exercises of the Centralia High School,
held at Unity church last Friday
evening, were short but very pleasing
There being only one graduate this year
the program was almost entirely
musical. The first number, piano
solo by Miss Waters, was nicely
executed and heartily received. A
vocal solo, Garden of Sleep" by Miss
Trow, of TomahaWk Lake, was very
fine. She played her own accompani-
ment on guitar.
The cornet solo by Rus. Lyons was
pleasing and the duet by Misses Reeves
and Thorn was one of the gems of the
evening.
Miss Mary Mcmillan handled her
Grafton Necessity of Reform in Public
Life with modest self assurance and
had very clear, forcible delivery. Her
valedictory and farewell to schoolmates
was especially well spoken and touch
ing.
After guitar solo by Miss Trow, the
diploma was presented by Prof Paulus,
in behalf of the school board, who
spoke in highest terms of the thorough,
willing and intelligent work done by
Miss Mcmillan during her school years
in Centralia, and closed with a very
pretty reference to the class motto
Labor Conquers.
The closing number, guitar duet by
Miss Trow and Rus Lyons was especially
sweet and brought forth the commenda-
ton of all. The church was nicely
decorated and well filed with people
Next years class is expected to be much
larger.

WIN AT WAUSAU.

Eight to seven in favor of the Twin
City Ball Club was the result of the
game in Wausau on Sunday last. Our
team left on the morning train with the
determination to do up Wausau or quit
and they did them up very nicely with
one inning, or part of an inning, to
spare. Game was called at o'clock p.
m. in Warren Park with Wausau at bat
and ended at 6:10 with Twin City hand
ling the stick pounding the ball hard
and no one out. They could not finish
their inning and catch the train. 1t
was hotly contested game and an
unusually interesting one for the spec
tators on account of the continued
closeness of the score and the numerous
brilliant plays made.
Wausau made one run in the first
inning and maintained just about that
much of lead through the game until
the ninth. At the beginning of this
inning the score stood and for
Wausau. In their half Wausau got one
more and Twin City came up for their
last bat with score of to 5 against
them but with a confident smile that
they could make up the deficiency in
short order. The first two men at bat
reached second and first bases respect
lively when neat and timely three-base
hit by LaVigne brought them home and
tied the score. A nice single by
Augustine let LaNigne cross the plate
with the winning mark amidst the
shouts and cheers of a highly pleased
grand-stand audience. "Bellows," the
fat accident wind instrument of Wau-
sau, was on the diamond but seemingly
out Of gas Unusual for HIM at this
stage Of the game, for he viciously
threw down his mask and for once
kept his big, loud face closed. We were
told once when in Wausau that the
elevation of ground a few miles west of
the city was the largest bluff anywhere
n that vicinity. We believe this was a
mistake. All that we have seen of
Bells Oh a ball field has led us to
DCIICNG UII6tL IIC, dIltl IlOb tLG CIChlLIOIIy
is the largest bluff around Wausau if
not the largest bluff in Wisconsin.
Following is the score by innings:
123 4 5 6 7S9
Grand Rapids ........O 0 0 ? 0 0 3 3-S
Wausau ..................1 0 0 2 II
Struck out by Miller IL, Tuttle 6.
Double play, Wausau. Two base hits,
Twin City 3. Three base hit, LaVigne.
Dunbar came in for some very pretty
fielding and pulled i'll everything that
Wausau sent his way. Miller did some
effective work in the box and all the
boys played we'll. Negotiations are
now on foot to secure heavy battery
from Chippewa Falls if employment
can be found for them. Augustine, Of
Milwaukee, can also be secured on
similar terms. If the proper spirit is
shown the twin cities can have some
good ball games.

POINTS FOR CIGAR SMOKERS

There are two things which all

Brownlow. Mr.. Brownlow travels for
a large cigar mandatory, and knows
thing or two about the ethics OF
smoking. Before lighting a cigar,
bite off the end, and, placing the END
to be lighted between your lips, blow
through 1t. In this way you get RIO

when a man becomes furried he
feels for a cigar. Women jump at
conclusions and generally hit; men
reason things out logically and gen.
orally miss the truth. Some women
can't pass millinery shop without
looking in; some men can't pass a
public house without going In. A
woman never sees baby without
wanting to run to it; man never
sees a baby without wanting to run
away from it. Women love admira-
ton, appreciation, self-immolation on
the part of others; are often weak,
vain and frivolous. Ditto men. A

NR. GLADsTvNE's s5rH BIRrHDAY.
Armenian Delegate Present n Silver Chal-
lice 10 His Church.

LONDON, Dec. G.-Mr. Gladstone cele-
brated his eighty-fifth birthday to-day.
and was the recipient of hundreds of let
ters and kilograms OF consratulation and
parcels containing birthday gifts. Mr..
Gladstone was In remarkably good health
and spirits, and despite the stormy wealth
er drove through the village of Hawarden
TO the church. where he met deputation
OF Armenian Christians from Paris and
London. On behalf OF Mr.. Gladstone the
deputat!on presented silver chalice 70
the church The chalice was presented
TO Rev. stephen Gladstone. son of the eN-
Premier and rector OF Hawarden church,
IN recognition OF the interest his father
has taken in the Armenian outrages.
In reply TO the presentation ADDRESS the
eX-Premier expressed his sympathy with
tians. The deputation took luncheon with
Mr.. Gladstone at Hawarden castle.
The Prince Of Wales and Lord Aberdeen
are among those who telegraphed their
congra tulat0ns to Mr.. Gladstone.
Mr.. Gladstone, IN his reply to the depu-
tations address, said that it was not
their duty to assume that all the allega-
tons OF OutrageS were true, but rather
10 wait the result of the inquiry, which
had been instituted. However, he said,
