away altogether with jail workshops on
the plea that they are not profitable.
This has led to some declarations of opin
ion respecting the matter. The Bar
Harbor Record and Ellsworth American
take the ground that it isn't "A question of
expense at all; that 1.-THE modern idea of
imprisonment Is toward the bcttermcut of
the morals Of criminals, and idleness
perve,ts the object of the law" There s
sense in that, and while the need Of good
hard work, especially for tramps, is not
mentioned we yet have faith to believe
that the average hobo will steer clear of a
place of confinement where he will be
obliged to employ from eight to ten hours
of the twenty-four at hard manual labor

Crowds OF Interested Persons At.
tend the Class Day Exercises.
The Festivities VIII BE Continue
This Evening In the Yard.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 21.-Harvard's
class day dawned bright and fair. The
ancient and revered customs were OBJ
served.
Soon after 10 o'clock the gay throngs
began to move toward Sanders Theater,
whore the literary exercises of the day
were held. Shortly before IL the long line
OF capped and gowned seniors was again
formed in the yard, headed by the band
and then the class day officers.
The long line, 300 strong, marched to
martial music toward the theater. The
exercises were extremely interesting, and
the big auditorium was packed to the
caves. Il. III. Warren of Worcester de-
livered the Grafton, q mastery piece of
composition, exceedingly we'll rendered.
The class poem was then read by
c. M. Flandrau OF st. Paul. The ode
was by G. Il. Noyes OF Cambridge. w. X.
Brice of Washington provided much mer-
riment by his witty ivy oration. After
these exercises were over there was o lull
in the proceedings of the day, and the
crowds began to scatter to attend the va
festivities OF the afternoon and evening.
During the afternoon the band will dis
course the sweet strains of "The Buc-
cancer" the Pieta Society's opera, from
the band stand in the yard, and the
guests will make merry at the spreads or
at the dance in Memorial Hall. At
o'clock comes the great exercises around
the "Tree" when the seniors formally bid
good by to Harvard, and scufile for the
band Of roses on the great old elm.
In the evening the yard will be brill
liantly illuminated, and there will be
singing by the glee club and music by the
glee and mandolin clubs. The dancing in

the latter part of the evening, and Presi-
| dent Elliott will hold a reception from

ate class and the officers asd graduates OF

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AVOIDED.

The prompt action of q motorman on
Pawtucket electric and the skillful man.
agement of four powerful horses by Will
liam Anderson evidently was the reason
that there was not q fatal accident on
North Main street, near the foot OF Meet
ing, at o O'Clock this morning, for at that
time Mr.. Anderson was driving four
horses attached to one OF Comstocks
heavy wagons on the east side OF the car
tracks and was coming toward the center
of the city. A few rods behind him was
a Pawtucket car which was going at the
usual rate. When opposite the head OF
Ives lane Mr.. Anderson made sharp
turn to the left across the tracks for the
lane, the car being at the time but few
feet in the rear. As soon as the motor
man saw the horses headed for the lane
he began to ring his bell, reverse
the power and put on tho
brake. He succeeded in reduc-
ing the speed, but the car was not
stopped until it ran into the hay wagon,
which was then at right angles across the
track. AS soon as the wagon was struck
the horses began to plunge, but Mr.. An
derson handled them in in such q manner
that they did no damage. The wagon
was heavily loaded, and its rafting ovei
the pavements made such noise that the
driver was unable to hear the bell OF the
car. The enly blame that can be attached
to Mr.. Anderson is that he did not look
behind him before crossing the tracks.
The only damage done was the breaking
OF the pole OF the wagon.

tho great Republican League Banquet

The Arcade building at Cleveland is a
tremendous nine-story structure on Sup
erior street and Euclid avenue. The Ar
cade proper runs from Superior street to
Euclid avenue through the middle of the
huge building and has four lofty galleries
under the great glass roof. 1t is perhaps
five or six times as long as the Arcade in
Providence and proportionately tall and
broad. Two elevators take passengers
to the different galleries and to the other
floors in the tall building where are hun
dreds of offices. The merchants in the
Arcade display their goods picturesquely
and the great passage way with its
theater-like galleries is spectacular In ap-
pearance under everyday conditions.
During the League Convention store
fronts and galleries are covered with
bunting, the State emblems, groups of
flags and electric decorations. AT the
Euclid avenue end of the long corridor is
the American flag and the word swell
come" wrought in electric lamps.

The picture above shows the Arcade
from the Euclid avenue entrance. Euclid
avenue is higher than Superior street and
its level is reached by the broad flight of
steps shown in the picture rising from
the main corridor from the Superior street
level to the first gallery. At the banquet
last evening platform was built across
the top OF the balustrade over this stair
way and from this platform the speakers
made their speeches. On either side,
along the gallery, the tables were set and
a thousand more diners sat at the rows of
tables in the marble corridor below. In
the galleries above were thousands OF
spectators. II is estimated that over 10,
600 persons were in the company in this
big Arcade and the architecture of this
extraordinary banquet hall, the lavish
decorations, the wonderful electric effects,
combined to make the scene not a little
bewildering in its marvellous beauty as ii
was spectacular and impressive.
