COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
Parents and Friends of st. Louis
College Are Well Entertained.


For two solid hours yesterday
morning the parents and friends
of the scholars attending the st.
Louis College were entertained, the
occasion being the eleventh annual
commencement exercises of the in
stitution. The Hall had been dec
grated and generally reftted for
the scholastic entertainment, and
now the College can boast of an ex-
hibition hall, second to none in the
city. The exercises commenced at
$50 o'clock, but long before that
hour people, old and young, came
from all directions, and when the
overture commenced the place was
crowded.
The programme as a whole was
most successful, and the manner
in which the boys sang and recited
reflected more than average credit
on Brother Bertram, the Principal,
Brothers Frank and Francis, and
the other hard workers at the Col
lege. AS a rule most people in an
audience never stop to think OF the
hard work and worry attached to
All entertainment of this kind but
the instructors of the College must
have felt we'll repaid yeste :day
for their efforts as each number
on the programme was received
with loud applause.
The college orchestra played sew
eral selections in a most pleasing
manner, and discords, so common
with amateur organizations, were
happily not heard yesterday. The
members played the overture, Re
ceptioD," in a mastery way, and
later they accompanied chorus to
the great delight of both singers
and audience. OF the young lads
who took part in the exercises,
nothing but words of highest praise
can be said. Everything went off
without a hitch, and the general
verdict seemed to be that yester-
DAYS exercises were the most sue
cessful ever held at the college:

No agreement is found anywhere. It
seems that the old-fashioned way Of
ruling the world is as good, If It is not

Mr.. Aston does not make his theme
ourdensozne. The story winds its way
naturally. It does not end at the point
indicated. The conclusion is based
upon the general acceptance Of that
eocia listic Christianity which recog-
nizes the distinction between mine and

word, is to show that the rich are as
socialistic as the poor and just as anx-
ious that we shall all have plenty to

Astor's book to point out.

a NATIONAL HUMILIATION.

Dcpende nce OF American Travellers and
Merchants Upon Foreigner.
Lately an American admiral was OF
dered by the secretary Of the navy to
take com, nand, without delay, Of the
South Atlantic squadron of the United
States navy, which at the time had its
headquarters at Montevideo, the CAPT
tai Of Uruguay.
No swift vessel of the navy was avail
able for hi transportation. How, then,
was the admiral to reach Montevideo?
We may suppose that he would take
the first steamer to Montevideo. But
what If there is no American line Of
steamers plying to that part of the
world?
That was exactly the case. The ad-
rniral was obliged to take this course.
He went from Washington to New York,
and thence took an English steamer to
southampton, in England. Thence he
took another English steamer to Mon
tevideo, crossing the Atlantic ocean
twice, in foreign ships, to reach his
post on the same side of the oceanl

prod uction of his pen. The firm OF

But not long afterward the London
publishers received a manuscript novel

fby an unknown WHO wanted to learn its
cash value. The firm declared Il had

of the unknown resulted finally in that
1T was read and an offer of $500 made
for the copyright. To the frn1's sur
ipr;se. the offer was declined, and the
author got back his manuscript.
1t was the work Of William Waldorf
,Astor- His object was to find out
whether his name or bis genius got bis
books into print. No amount of per-
suasicu has since gotten out OF him
leave TO print that novel
The reason is that Mr.. Astor is pro-
6ecting a new work Of fiction in field
that to him is quite untrodden liter
arily. He is engaged upon novel EN-
'bodving his theories of the social system
and exp0unding that form OF humane go
cialism, of which, unknown to many,
he approves. BE has views OF economic
subjects, based upon conservative
philosophy, but which, nevertheless,
have been misrepresented. Mr. Astor is
alleged to look upon certain radical ten
denotes in the politics Of his own coun-
try with disapproval, but this is an err
ror. 1t is simply because Mr. Aston Is
by nature an artist that life abroad Is
agreeable to him. He is now employ

his own. In Italy sculptor has just
received a commission from him that
means fame and money If properly ex-
ecuted. And in other ways Mr. Aston
has shown that ne is by nature patron
of the arts
It is, therefore, natural that his book
ehould have to do with artists The
story takes Us at first to those Bohe--
milan London studios in which English,
artists are content to wait for patrons
until it Is time to go to Paris. The
hero Of the story Is a young man OF tho
people, q natural born artist. whose
friend has found his genius out and
pays for his tuition.

So far Mr.. Astor would seem to have
presented us with nothing extraor-
dinary. But it is in his late elabora-
ton of his theme, the presentation of
the rich mans side OF the protest
against modern distributions of wealth,
that Mr.. Astor is most interested. The

Der Of the Berlin university, celebrated
the jubilee Of his doctorate ON the sth
Of May. At the time he was in Rome.
Nommsen took his degree IS doctor
of laws at Kiel Fifty years ago. His FIRST
work was published in lsf3, and was
entitled: "Ad LeSem de Scri5is ct Via
toribus ct de Auctoritate Comments
TONES Duae." In 1s43 he wrote another
work, "A Book Of the Songs Of Three
Friends" This he wrote in collabora-
ton with his brother, Tycho, (who later
became director of the Frankfort col
lece), and with his compatriot Theodor
Storm, the celebrated author of ''Im-
mcnsee."
He was born ON November 30, 1917,
at Garding, Schleswig. His father was
clergyman. Mommsen went to
school at Altoona. and afterwards stud
fed history and law at Kiel. After OBJ
tanning his degree he travelled and
studied in Italy and France, until
tho political movements recalled
him to his home. In 1s4s he was
editor Of the Schleswig-Holstein
Zeitung, appearing at Kendsburg. In
the fall Of the same year he became
professor Of law extraordinary at the
University Of Leipzig. Here also he
took part in political movements. To-
gether with Aoritz Haupt and Otto
jain, he was accused Of revolutionary
practices. In spite of his sequittal, the
government decreed his dismissal from
his post. For more than one year ha
had hard time. But finally, in 1859,
the Breslau academy awarded him the
prize of honor. That brought him the
appointment Of professor of law at the
University Of Zurich. This position he
exchanged in 1853 for the same post At
the University Of Breslau-

called by the Prussian Academy d
