GLASS DAY EXERCISES.
Interesting Exercises by the Graduating
Glass of the High School.

Glass of the High School.
A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted the graduating class of the Bank
st. High School, as il made its appear
ance Monday. A delightful program
was presented.
| Mrs. Lizzie Perr1ne, the accomplished
pianist, played the celebrated High
School March and she had not played
more than a dozen bars before the class
mum bering thirty four, made it's debu,
end very pretty appearance it was. II
is f1attering to say this is the largest class
ever graduated from this celebrated
school. The first number on the program
was chorus "Our Public SCHOOL, by
the class, which was very prettily rem
dered. The next number was the class
roll call, each member responding to
their name with quotation, some of
which were original and caused no little
merriment. This was followed by a
pretty solo by Miss Anna Cast. who was
received with unbounded applause.
and as an encore she sang another
pretty solo. Miss Casts voice was par
ticularly bright and clear. A short, but
very interesting paper was read by Miss
Anna Jonas, on the 'History of Our
Public Schools" This was followed by
comic reading in German dialect, by
Miss Gertrude Etherington. After this
came the class song by the Glee Club,
which received much applause. AS an
encore to this number, the "Get There
Club" composed of six girls of the class,
came forward with burlesque on the
Glee Club, which preceded them, giving
the Club genuine surprise. This ended
part one.
The second part began with class
history by Miss Helen Service, not one
OF the large class escaped this keen
historian, and many were the hidden
jokes that meant much to the different
members of the class. Following this
came an instrumental duett by the Misses
Laura Sellers and Emma Harris. Per-
haps the best number on the program
came next, in the form of a class
prophecy, by Miss Jennie Hancock, and
no end of strange things came from the
mind OF this young lady. A solo and
chorus was next given by the young
men, John Loper taking the solo part.
The young men responded to an encore
with very humorous selection. The
"Class Will" was read by Chester Garri-
son, and its provisions were ludicrous in
the extreme. The final number was a
chorus by the class, entitled "Good
Night" The audience was very we'll
pleased and congratulated the class mem
bers most heartily.

A Big Fight.

The Christian Citizenship Union is con-
tinuing it's fight against Newark liquor
dealers, and one odd result Of the battle
which its officers are waging was the
slim crowd in the neighborhood of bar
rooms in West Newark on Sunday. Un-
der an old law, which is being made the
basis of action on the part of the Union,
all who are known to have been in any
barroom on Sunday may be served with
a subpoena and taken before justice of
the peace to give testimony.

SPECIAL COURT.
Sudge Hoagland Not Very Severe Upon
Those Who Assaulted the
Police Officers.

Police Officers.
A special session of Court was held
Monday, for the purpose of disposing of
some criminal business.
Judge Hoagland was upon the bench
when Court opened. Prosecutor Logue
Immediately sent out for prisoners in the
jail, and when they were brought in and
made pleas as follows:
Frank Swearinger, assaulting Officer
Betchner, guilty.
Antoine MeaIey, Illegal sale of liquor,
guilty.
Henry Watman, assaulting Officer
Wright, guilty; assaulting Isaiah Wilson,
guilty.
John Lee, stealing $50 from Bridget
Olstein, guilty.
Richard Rutter, illegal sale of liquor,
guilty.
Benjamin Kennedy, assaulting Officer
Betchner, guilty. Assaulting Frank
Taylor, not guilty.
Mr.. Logue then said he would move
the case against Kenpedy.
Swearinger was permitted to make a
statement to the Court, and he told as
| pretty fairy story as ever romantic
actor delivered from the stage. 1t is en-.
tlrely proper to say that the actor did moi
make single statement that conformed
with the truth of the assault that occurred
that Saturday night when Swearinger as
saulted Officer Betchner and almost
| created riot.
Prosecutor Logue was but few mo.
ments in presenting the case against
Kennedy, upon the charge of assaultine
Taylor. The facts are fresh in the minds
of the readers of the PIONEER. Kennedy
was drunk on trolley car, and wher
Taylor attempted to quiet him he at
tempted to hit Taylor with beer bottles
and kicked him in the groin.
The story was corroborated in every
particular by a number of eye-witnesses
who were passengers upon the car at the
time.
The sentences were as follows:
Frand Sweringer, (Henneway), assault
on officer. County Jail months.
Benjamin Kennedy, assault on officer
= Sh"i SO>, aSodufts y ulOutuS jail. S6COu(
sentence suspended.

Camden Thursday heard the cases against
the Oranoken Oyster Company. Isaac
Joslin and G. B. Russell, who are ac-
cused of obstructing the creeks.
prosecutor Logue, of Cumberland
county, represented the Oranoken OYSTER
Company, and H. H. voorhees,, of this
city. looked after the interests of the
other two defendants.
District Attorney j. Kearney Rice did
not push the cases against Joslin and
Russell. as he had doubts about the iuris-
dlction of the United States District
Court in the matter. The Oranoken
Oyster Company agreed to remove the al
legged obstructions to navigation, and
submit the matter to the Secretary of

stake of oyster beds in navigable waters.

PREPARING.
Administration Will Be Ready in
Case Of Rupture with Spain---Ex.
PLANTATION OF a Recent Extensive
Order for Ordnance Stores.

Washington, D. c., November %
President Mckinley is a firm believer in
the doctrine that the best way to pre-
serve peace is to be prepared for war.
He desires peace with Spain,; there
fore he is making calculations which
are calculated to inspire the belief in
the minds of the hot-blooded Spaniards
that, if they provoke war, they will be
inviting their downfall.
This is the explanation of the order
which Secretary Long has placed dur
ing the past week with the American
Ordnance Company for ordnance stores.
The order was as follows: Ten thou
sand 6-inch shells, 1900 1-pounder
shells for rapid-fire guns, $4,000 armor-
piercing shell tips, eighty rapid-fire
she'll guns.
The order for rapid-fre shell guns
was made to embrace the entire stock
which the company had On hand. The
order amounted in cash to $3.50 and
is the largest placed by the government
for ordnance since the war. 1t is given
