HILLHOUsE HIGH SCHOOL.

q New Departure-Class Ivy to be
 Planted Tomorrow, Arbor Day
 Ten Competitors in Defamation:
 The Fair Sex Ahead.
 There is to be an innovation in the cus-
 toms of the graduating classes of the high
 school, which will go into effect to-mor-
 row, Arbor day. It is to plant class ivy
 somewhere about the school after the fash
 ion of Yale college.
 The subject was broached to the olass
 yesterday by Principal Thomas, who said
 that according to the recent vote of the
 board of education, Arbor day should be
 observed by the public schools of the city
 by appropriate exercises. Mr. Thomas
 stated that it would be very appropriate for the graduating class of the high school
 to plant tree in the school grounds, but as there is scarcely any room for this pur- pose, he thought the planting of class ivy would be as good, if not better, substitute.
 Thsreupon the elass met after school and discussed the question. It was decided to plant an ivy, and accordingly President McQuaid appointed committee of three, consisting of J. Savage (chairman), N. Brad. ley and J. Hennessey, to look up the mat ter and report to-day.
 The class of '94 will be the first in old Hiilhouse to follow the cuAtom of Yale and leave behind 1t such a favorable reminder of it's course in the school. It Is possible | that 1t will be the last also, for 1t ia ex. psoted that the new high school will be completed by the time the class of '95 if l ready to be graduated.
 | About ten pupils are to try in the com petition for the declsmation for the grad | uating exercises, the most of whom are young ladies'. There may be cns or two young men to try for it, but the genera opinion is that young lady will be award ed the choice. There have bsen severs attempts to obtain 8 teacher in elooutior ! for the school, to no purpose. If such { teacher could have been secured it would be great benefit to the senior class, and there would bs more competitors and thu { Reclamation thereby be more of a success ! There Is, however, a possibility that one o1 | the teachers in the school will be secured ! to give those who are to compete littl,
 training before appearing before the com mittee.
 The graduation exercises will consist O five musical numbers, seven essays, on | scientific essaY and the declamation

 voted to Coxey.
 From our Washington Correspondentl
 WASHINGTON, D. O., May Lon visit ing the camp of Coxey's forlorn looking force yesterday, and in my conversation with Ooxey he gave me the following par ticulars of his life, which may interest some of your readers:
 General Coxey started the present agita- ton, two years ago and hassincs spsnt con- siderable time and money in advancing his unique ideas on the subjsct. He js but thirty-nine years of age, although he looia nearly fifty and was born at Selinsgrove, Snyder county, Ps., April 1e. 1s55, and christened Jacob Ssshler Coxey, of which name he Is very proud. During the early childhood of this general of peace his fam | fly moved to Danvills, Pa and while thsrs Jacob went to school with the other small boys and always had his share of the pie Firing of school in few years he went tt work winters in . rolling mill in Danvill' l and his summers he epent at work on thu | farm.
 ! At the age of seventeen, being brigh boy and quito an engineer. he took charg' of the stationary engine of the Co-operstiv, Iron and Steel works at Danville, and unti he was twenty seven he stuck to his job and became an expert in the line of en gineering.
 Being naturally ambitious, after leaving the mill in 1879 he engaged in business with his uncle, Charles Seshler, ct Brady Bend, Ps., and for year they carried ol large business in scrap iron.
 This was rather tame sport for Coxey and in 1881 he struck out for the west ani finally brought up at Masailon, Ohio, whsr with what savings he had acoumulate' from his other ventures he purchased tn white sand quarries at Psuls, four mile north of Massilon, and here made oonsid erable money in supplying sand to tn open hearth steel plants, rolling mills glass works and potteries of that part o the country, besides producing large quan titles of white sandstone, used for buildin purpoees,

STARTS A STOCK FARM.

But always on the lookout for something new, General Coxey in 1885, developed Q taste for horsehssh, and purchased farm at Eminence, Ky., where he raised trotting horses until 1890, when he sold the latter place and bought the famous Dixians stock farm near Lexington, Ky, where he raised considerable stock. Last July he sold the Eminence farm and leased farm ct Asssi- lon which ia we'll known ss the Coxey stock farm. Here the general has some $4O, ,O0O worth of thoroughbreds, and is able to keep his eye on his sand quarries at the sams time.

SENATOR PALMER's VIEWS.


 As watched the men march slowly tn.
 to camp on Sunday morning, I noticed Senator Palmer of Illinois, cautiously watch
 ing the motly throng, and ss his eye' turned from the figure of Coxsy riding ir buggy drawn by two handsome horses first to Browne on his g, 900 stallion, and then to the poor men footsore and weary 1t assumed 8 look of absolute pity for the poor deluded men. A few moments after ward Senator Palmer said: Whatever may have felt before concerning this army
 now feel the utmost pity for these posl men, and were there any Illinois msr among them I would gladly go down
 in my pocket to help give then
 food and assistance, poor, deluded men that they are. For Coxsy and the other so- called leaders have no sympathy and they should be punished for leading men on such a fools errand. Why, when
 I read what the ne xspapers had to say and l then saw what the army really amounted
 to could not help but pity these men No such venture can ever be success, ,and while the ranks of these men may swell tt thousand, fear no disturbance l and the western contingent, nov knowing that they cannot steal rail | road trains and that they must walk If they come will n ever get here, know. When was waiting for the army tc arrive noticed the expectsnt looks on tht | faces of those in sympathy with the cause | and how these looks became disappoinfed ! when the army marched into camp, witt ! it's small number of men,

AS far as the senate and house are con. csrned, they will probably take no action in the matter, and the army will be treated the same as any other citizens and accord. ed the same privileges, and no more, un. less they disobey the law, when they will be dealt with accordingly.
 THE SENATE AND HOUSE.
 Tho senate commences to-day its fifth week of the tariff bill, and with the con- sessions already made, and more which understand are to follow, will see the bill passed by June l, when the house will get another chance at 1t.

Moving here and there among the army your correspondent tried to pick up from the men why they had come and just what for, but very few of them had any idea, except that Coxey wanted them to, and that he would fix ever ything all right, although there were several you evidently mistrust- ed the general and intimated that unless things were fixed all right he might hea, from them later. On the whole the men seem to be an ignorant set of fellows, with strange religious notions, and fairly wor o1,fy, and Rso,~oo

is CONDEMNED ANYWAY.

The tariff bill, in it's several forms,
which the Democrats are trying to
get through congress, does not seem
to be in greater danger than does the
party itself. No matter which way
the party acts, it is likely to be con-
demned by the people at the polls.
The Minneapolis Times calls Senators
Smith, German, Brice and Camden
the big four of the senate, and charges
that they have set out to defeat any
tariff bill which does not meet their
views. If these men were broad
minded and were interested in that
which would best promote the well
fare of the country, they would COM
mand the respect of the people. But
they seem actuated by the same selfish
motives as those who are promoting
the interests of different bill. 1t is
case of six to one and half dozen the
other. The Times, which favors the
fortunes of the house bill, says that
should the senate bill pass and the
president should disappoint his party
and the country by signing it, the
"first result would be the loss of every
congressional district which was not
overwhelmingly Democratic, and the
second and more important would be
discovered in the presidential contest
two years hence. What is more the
party would deserve to lose the presi-
dency if the record of it's achievement
during four years of undisputed con-
troll had no better foundation than a
tariff measure which the president
has justly stigmatized as one of per
fidy anddishonor. This is undoubt-
edly true, but it is hardly more than
what will happen should the house bill
pass and he would sign that.
