LEAvENwORTH, June 16.-Governor L.
d. Lewelling came down from Topeka
last evening, to try the temper OF the
sands of the Mystic Shrine.
When asked about the future of the
POpulists, he said: 81 do not care to talk
about that at this time. / fought the
woman suffrage plank but we've got
it
81 think the referendum plank in our
platform has given strength to the Popu-
list ticket. 1t is very popular now to

what effect will the suffrage ques-
tion have on the parties?"
II believe it will draw largely from
the Republicans. Especially in the ru
raj districts it will throw the vote to the
Populists. We look for much of our
strength to come from the country"
ut has been said that large numbers
of Democrats will vote the Republican
ticket this fall Do you think so?"
"Ihe Democrats never vote the Repub-
lican ticket, because they have no more
faith in it than the Populists have. The
Democrats and Republicans are as wide
apart as the POpulists and Republicans.
"The Populists are confident of vic
tory. It VIII be the enthusiasm of the
people that will help the ticket The
Populists have no use for Cleveland

"How do you regard Mrs. Lease as
factor in Populist politics?"
81 regard her as unquestionably an
orator of ability. Mrs. Leases attitude
toward the administration has been
greatly exaggerated by newspaper
ports. She is a woman Of good impulses.
In her way she has rendered great help
to the Populists in times past"

PheniX's notice at the time:
TO the unobserving, or to those who,
like ourselves, have been looking for the
new hall in connection with Miss Sawyers
school to appear on the east side of the
mouse in plain view, it may be a surprise
to know that the building is completed
and occupied; but such is the fact. A
very unpretentious hall it is, set back from
the street aud screened by trees, on the
west side of the house, with which it is
connected; but within it is light and airy,
with large windows on four sides, and well
equipped with heating and ventilating ia

be OF interest. 1t is a one-story building

terror finish, floor, walls and ceiling, is

1t is connected with the house by a hall

side. The cellar is concerted, and here are
placed the two furnaces, with coal bins.

Tuesday Evenings Exercises.

The commencement exercises closed
Tuesday evening with the address by Pro
fessor Cutting, the presentation of the
diplomas and the reception 10y the class.
After music by the orchestra, and prayer
by Rev c. O. Day, Professor w. Starr
Cutting, PHI. D., assistant professor in he
department of Germanic language and lit
erature of Chicago university, delivered the
annual address, his subject being The
Economy of Power In his opening re-
marks Mr.. Cutting referred to the evidences
of economy seen in the natural world.
Everywhere we meet nice adjustment Of
power to the result produced, which might
wisely be initiated in the round of our hui
man activities. Unfortunately we are Woe
fully wasteful in the performance of our
tasks. The need for the closest possible
economy in this respect is triple. Our re-
lations to the outside world, especially to
our fellOwmen, become ever more COM
pick, and to meet them squarely we are
forced to do a host of things before UNI
dreamed of. The only refuge from this
press of things to do is either death or her
mitage. Consideration of the shortness of
life and the rapid increase of legitimate de-
mands upon OuI time emphasizes the need
of economy in the use of our powers.
Among the common mistakes into which
we fall in the use of our powers were men
toned diffuseness, not focusing the energy
upon the point of resistance; lack of def
mite plan, being reader to work than tr
work methodically; and prOcrastination
the habit of never doing today what car
be put off until tomorrow.
In speaking of the guilt of not using oul
powers, unemployed leisure of an able
bodied citizen was spoken of as evidence
of incapacty. The steady hand, the clea
brain, and the sure judgment are nowher,
else so frequently found as in the study
the office, and the counting room of tn,
busiest man in the community. The habi
of periodically turning off fixed amounts o
work has taught them an economy o
power unknown to men of leisure.
Real advancement along any Of the grea
lines of human activity is conditional upol
economy of power. The endless demands
upon us all appeals to us all for NOR
rigid economy in the use of our powers
In view of these facts, whether we NEE

The Glass Day Exercises.
"Class day." the day of days to every
graduate, was celebrated by the class of
'04, Monday afternoon at $3.50. No class
ever had more delightful surroundings for
their farewell exercises. The broad YER
anda on the east side of the North street
school building was used as a stage, the
guests occupying chairs placed on the
lawn. The veranda was beautifully deco
rated with flowers, ferns, evergreens and
bunting, the class colors, yellow and white,
and the class flower, the daisy, being eff
fectively used. In the arch, at the centre
of the platform, was the class year, '04

hall had been transformed into a beautiful
banqueting room, the walls being draped

the corners of the room. The table was
laid in the centre of the room and was
tastefully ornamented with flowers. At
each plate was a delicate packet. As these
were opened an excellent likeness of the

The presentation of these portraits was a
delightful surprise to Miss Sawyer's old
