most pleasing speaker, held the close
attention of the large audience. His
address was a discussion of govern
ment questions and social and econom-
ic considerations, frank to a degree
and filled with strong points. Al
though Mr.. Pitzer is Republican,
his speech was that of good Demo
crat. He was rather pessimistic in
his views, and deplored the depressed
condition of affairs in our land which
he frankly admitted now existed as a
result of our present system Of govern
ment. Mr.. Pitzer said he was a gold
bug with silver wings, and brought
applause when he declared that unless
the nations speedily agreed on inter-
national bimetalism he would 60 in
with all his might for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver on our own
hook. He advocated restriction, if
not entire prohibition, of foreign i'm
migration, to which he attributed many
of the evils from which we now suffer.
He expressed the belief, in conclusion,
that our greatness as a nation is sure
and certain in the future and that our
destiny is to be glorious one. The
speaker was presented with a hand
some bouquet by Miss Bessie LickL-
der for the societies. Several songs
were rendered by the school, includ
ing solos by Miss Elba Hoffman and
Mr.. G. Harley Roberts.

Shepherd College commencement.
An interesting Week at Our State Normal School
The Programme of the week.

This is commencement week in Shep-
herd College, and it has been full Of
interest to our own people and to the
strangers within our gates. The wealth
er has been fine, all the surroundings
suspicious, and large audiences have
attended and enjoyed the exercises.
The first public event was the recep-
ton last Friday night, and the COM
mencement proper closed the school
year tonight. We publish herewith
the proceedings of the past week.
THE PUBLIC RECEPTION.
No institution of learning can afford
to be cold and Indifferent to its pa
irons. Catalogues and pamphlets serve
only in part to bring school before
the public in the proper light. 1t re-
quires open entertainmentsand sociable
receptions, such as Shepherd College
gave the public Friday night, June IS,
to connect the interest of school and
patrons. The public reception was a
diversion from the old beaten paint, and
a step in the right direction. A short,
spicy programme was rendered at the
hall, consisting of an able address Of
welcome by G. B. Miller, number of
recitations, and a fervent closing adj
dress by W. H. Meyers, the pro-
gramme being well interspersed with
instrumental music. The audience
then retired to the new building, where
all were warmly greeted at the main
entrance by Prof. Kimler, and were
then taken through the different apart
ments by the students, where they met
the other members of the faculty in
their respective rooms. All was pleas
ure. Cheerful strains Of music were
begun on the college piano at an early
hour, the boys alternating with the
college yell. 1t was pleasant to see
young and old talking and enjoying
themselves just as if they were in their
own homes, and in fact Shepherd Col
lege does belong to its patrons. The
good feeling manifested at the de-
parture of the audience proved that
the reception was a success. Shepherd
College is an institution worthy the
patronage of all who have sons and
daughters to be educated, and those
who send their children to it can rest
assured that they are being placed in
a comfortable and sociable home, envi-
roned by all that tends to elevate
school life.

CONTEST BETWEEN THE SOCIETIES.

CONTEST BETWEEN THE SOCIETIES.
The societies of this institution have
always favored the public with enter
tainments, creditable both from a So
cial and literary standpoint. But 1897
marks the beginning Of a new era IN
the arrangement Of the entertainments
as we'll as in their merit. Heretofore
we have had the Ciceronian entertain
ment by the boys, the Parthenian by
the girls. Such is not the plan now. Be-
heving that better work could be done
by placing the boys and girls together,
the division was made in this way, and
the wisdom of it was clearly demon
strated by the grand success which
characterized the contest of Monday
night. 1t twas spirited, interesting and
instructive. Every move, every per-
formance, showed that careful atten-
ton had been given the work, and that
everyone was interested in his society
and loyal to his colors.
The programme was opened with
beautiful trio by the Misses Butler,
Greenwood and Byers. The junior
declarations were then taken up, B.
F. Sperow, representing the c. L. s.,
by 1.-THE Unknown Speaker" With
a calmness and confidence essential 10
any successful speaker, Mr.. Sperow re-
cited his defamation so as to bring
credit upon himself, his society and his
school. We were then favored with
Leah, the Forsaken," by Miss Laura
Butler, of the P. L. S. Thrillngly
dramatic was it to see Miss Butler COM
manding the attention by her very
countenance, adding here gentle tone,
and there one Of fierce rage, here
smile and there frown, anything to
insure victory. Preparatory 10 the
middle year declarations, song Col
lege Bells" was beautifully sung by
the students. Katharyne Lucas, rep
resenting the c. L. S., then inspired

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in relieving pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. 1t corrects
inability to hold urine and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being COM
PEELED to get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you should
have the best Sold by druggists, price
fifty cents and one dollar. You may
have sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention the REGISTER
and send your address TO DR.. Kilmer n
Co.. Binghamton, n. Y. The proprietor
of this paper guarantees the genuineness
of this offer.

TILE RAocALAuREATE SERMON.


All connected with Shepherd Col
lege, directly or indirectly, will long
remember June Goth as being the occa-
sion upon which Rev. J. L. KILLER
preached the sermon to the senior class,
in the NJ. E. Church South. The sub
iect, as recorded by st. John, V. .,
was"Faith that overcometh the world.
With fervor, earnestness and ability
instances were cited where faith in Sec
ular affairs had been rewarded by
browning victory, and then, with IN
creased zeal, the power Of Christian
faith was plainly shown to an appre-
ciative audience. The quiet and still
ness which prevailed in the crowded
pews was clearly indicative Of the In
terest and attention commanded by
the speaker. In the conclusion a warm
congratulation was extended to the
faculty and class, and fervent exhor-
tation to seniors never to forget the
personal responsibility that rests upon
each one, and to remember that faith
in Christ overcomes all difficulties in
cident to our active life. Excellent
music was rendered by selected choir,
with Mrs. B. c. Unseld as organist.
The chancel was handsomely decorated
with flowers, and everything blended
to make the occasion a pleasant one.
