Yesterday was commencement day at
the School Of the Lackawanna, The
class of 81 with the help of the stu
dents had transformed the interior of
the school buildings so that they were
hardly recognizable. Red and white
bunting, flowers and ferns, the flags
of the many colleges to which it's pupils
go, all played their part, under the
guidance of the graduating class, in
producing the change.
The school still observes it's old Gus
tom, in spite of growth, celebrating
this day in the familiar school rooms.
Never did the rooms look prettier than
yesterday, and their capacity was test
ed to the utmost by the friends of the
class and returning graduates.
The entire day was devoted to the
exercises. In the morning the exer-
cises of the preparatory department
were held. They were admirably
adapted to illustrate the growing work
of the school for young children. Glass
exercises, recitations and songs, gym
nastic exercises, a spelling match and
a May pole on the lawn formed a
varied and interesting programme
which greatly pleased the parents and
friends present, and reflected great
credit upon Miss Mae Martin and Miss
Close, who have charge of the room
and conducted the exercises.
The work of the children in German
ELECTED special commendation from
those present, and the German dia-
logue given by the children was ad-
nnirably rendered.

A VIOLIN SOLO.

Arthur H. Sanction delighted his au-
dience with a violin solo. He was
heartily applauded.
No. 8 on the programme was an ora
ton, "Our Flag" by Charles e. Sweet.
Mr.. Sweet has a decided natural abil-
ity as an orator. His effort last night
was worthy of an experienced public
speaker.
After Mr.. Sweet the orchestra fol-
lowed with a medley of topical songs.
The class poem was then read by Miss
F. Grace Williams. Miss Williams, as
a. speaker of English, is refreshing.
Her diction was one of the delights of
the entertainment. The poem consisted
of happy hits at the class, the last
word Of each line jingling with some
other.
Leila A. Porter recited TOMS Little
Star" a piece demanding a long range
of versatility. This Miss Porter, with
her wonderfully expressive features,
fully covered to the credit of herself
and friends.
The orstion by Edward r. Hughes
on John Greenleaf Whittier" showed
a well developed ability to crate, and
also a better developed ability to think.
Inc ldSI was tAS Siuoo pioph
esy, by Miss Edith Murphy. This field
had been much trampled upon by Miss
williams, Mr. Thompson and other
previous speakers. Nevertheless Miss
Murphy was interesting.
THE CLASS SONG.
The class song, composed by Arthur
Sanction, and set to music by Mr.. Doer-
sam, was sung by the class, Profess
sor Derman leading. The boys gave
the class yell for the edification of the
| audience Rev. George E. Guild then
spoke the final benediction, and the
audience filed out to music by the or
| chestra.
After the entertainment last night
| the orchestra supplied music from the
steps leading to the upper floors, and

| fantastic for a time. The board OF
control, however, are not supposed tc
know of it. The first class day was g

CESS as the :2an who bought quantity
OF plaster of paris the day VIM. Gulden-
suppe was murdered. Borgess. keeps a
grocery store at Woodside, l.. l. lie
picked Thorn out Of number OF prison
ers at the Queens County jail.
Some doubt was thrown upon the i'm
portance, hs evidence against Mrs. Mack
and Martin Thorn of tne plaster of paris
found in "a stream at Woodside, L. /.
Another piece of plaster of paris was
found by boy TODAY in trench near the
alleged scene of tho murder. lt was
thought by some To resemble the i'm
press of nose and forehead. District
Attorney Youngs, who has charge of the
prosecution of the alleged murderers OF
Guldensuppc. said yesterday that il the
plaster OF paris really encased Gulden
suppe's head he could not understand
why traces of the head itself were not
al so discovered.
lie did not attach much importance TO
the find. and detective ho sent 10
examine the plaster of paris reported
definitely that IL had no connection with
the Guldensuppe case. Despite this. the
coroner who is dragging the Woodside
stream, adheres To the belief that tho head
was originally encased in the plaster
casts.
