COMMENCEMENT
At I.inwOOd..The Greatest Day In
the History of the Schools.

TIC kxIStOIy IA AAC S&AAOOAos
Possibly the greatest event connected
with the history of the schools of this
place was their first commencement held
on Saturday evening, October 9th, at the
Cen trail NJ. E. Church which was at
tended by $50 people. The committee,
into whose hands the work was in-
trusted, made uutiring efforts to make
the commencement a SUCCESS and Its
indefatigable workers have been
crowned with success beyond expec-
tatiOn.
The graduating class numbered eight,
whose names are as follows: Bessie
Marie Donohue, Ralph Steelman, Robert
Henry Risley, Lena R. Somers, Japhet
Booye, Eugene Sanders, Annie J. Parish
and Ina Smith Clark.
Considering their first appearance be-
fore so large an audience they did re-
marks ably we'll and deserve the support
and encouragement of the community,
The address to the graduates, which
was delivered by the Hon. Henry Houck,
Deputy State Superintendent OF
Pennsylvania, was interesting, enter
tanning and full of practical demonstra-
tions. Ia his genial way he portrayed
to the public not only the value OF an
education, but also the Importance OF
obedience to parents and the high
esteem with which the boys aud girls
ought to regard the aged. To the class,
in particular, he said that life was full OF
disappointments and that they would
surely meet some of them, but by being
loyal to their assertions and true to
their motto, they would surely succeed.
The following is the program as rem
dered:

British Glad of an Excuse to Get Ont Of
the Seal Conference.
LONDON, Oct. 0.-The St. James Ga.
zette, referring to the formal announce
ment of Great Britain's d~eclination to
take Part in the Rehr;ng sea conference
to which Russia and Japan might be
parties, says: "There will be a feeling
of relief that Great Britain, in behalf
Of Canada, has finally declined to walk
into the trap which was being arranged
ut Washington. America has never
paid the damages for the illegal seizure
of Canadian sealers and has exhausted
every diplomatic artific TO evade the
award, finally demanding o fresh con-
ference. The Marquis of Salisbury con.
sented, w%hereupon America calmly pro-
posed that Russia ard Japan should
have seats at the conference, with the
| obvious intention of out-voting Eng
land and upsetting by a side wind, the
| Paris award.
The Globe, commenting on the same
subject says: LAS a matter of business
it is time that a firm check was put
| upon the policy of the United States in
dealing with this country. There is no
cause to adopt the theory that the Mar
quis of Salisbury almost regretfully re-
fuses to participate. In the interests Of
! Canada it is we'll to let the United
States understand that no settlement Of
the. question will satisfy Great Britain
which sacrifices one jot or title Of the
just and equitable rights Of the loyal
| Dominion of Canada.

ARBITRATION AGAIN
Believed Another Treaty Will
Be Negotiated With Great
Britain.

LONDON, July eat is learned that
while the statements in the English
press to the effect that Sir Julian
Pauncefote brought from the United
States a draft Of a new arbitration
treaty are untrue, it is a fact that Sir
Julian discussed the question with Sec
rotary Sherman and since his arrival
here, has discussed it with Lord Sails.
curry. There is the best reason for be.
keving that the matter will be re-opened
at Washington in October, and that a
short treaty, Of less scope than the last,
will be arranged for submission to the
respective governments.
1t is thought that the matter would
not have been revived unless the feeling
of leading United States senators had
been previously as~certained, and Lord
Salisbury been assured that President
Mckinley is i'll favor of such an ar
rangement.
1t is now semi.officially reported that
an international conference will be held
at Washington early in October on the
basis Of John w. Fosters suggestion on
behalf of the United States government
that the experts representing Great
Britain and the United States should
meet and compare the results of their
Investigations with a view to arriving
at an agreed state of facts. Pending
such an agreement, there is no question
Of extending the scope of the conference

ulations. The primary object will be
