friends with a very clever and
pleasing production.
In Looking Forward Miss
May Mines advocated an optimis-
TIC view of life, Showing the
uselessness and folly Of that NOR
bidly retrospective temperament
which leads US to neglect present
duties and fail to press forward
for whatever the future may have
in store.
Miss Rlssa Heatherly fully
met the expectations of her many
admiring friends in her exquisite
rendition of the "Polish Dance, !"
a piano ricital as enchanting as
the performer was graceful and
fair.
~The Aim of Life" was the
broad and comprehensive sub
ject of Miss Anna Morrison's
essay, and was treated in an
especially meritorious manner,
the essayist regarding it as OF
prime Importance that one, to
live a successfullife. should have
the right aim.
In the woman of the Twenti.
eth Century, Miss Alice Orr
handled a popular subject in an
exceedingly pleasing manner,
and advanced some very sensible,
practical views on that import
ant Individual, who appears in
these latter days to be the uni
versal center of attraction.
Preparation for Study a
subject fraught with vast import
ance to the student, was handled
in an interesting manner, by
Miss Cora Powell, whose produc.
ton wasa scholarly and timely;
treatment Of the theme and aps
propriate to the occasion.
The duet by Miss Marellah
White and Miss Fannie Wade was
a most refreshing and delightful
song.
The Grafton by Mr.. ]. Ernest
Swiger, entitled Better Than
Wealth, was an ableand thought
full production, and served to
emphasize Tennyson's couplet,
"Kind hearts are more than
coronets, and simple faith than
royal blood"
Miss May Stout's essay was a
happy departure from humdrum
platitudes, and stepped over from
the abstract to the concrete, from
the shadow to the substance, and
was glowing and graceful me-
mortal to that charming and be-
loved writer, ''Pansy.'
ITO Live in Hearts We Leave
Behind is not to DE-" was the
subject of Miss Dotla Whites
essay, and touching co-inci-
dence in view of her recent be-
reavement. Miss Dotia was ex.
cused from reading her essay, at
her own request, much to the re-
greet of her many warm and de.
voted friends.
The valedictory, "Act Well
Your Part" was delivered by
Miss Alice Simmons in her own
Incompatible style. It was the
most natural thing in the world
for Miss Alice to carry off first
honors. and she wore her laurels
with such characteristic grace
and modesty that they were by
common consent, freely accorded
her. Miss Simmons porting
words to her classmates, friends
and teachers were very we'll
chosen, and formed a most happy,
appropriate conclusion to the
literary features of the day.
The presentation of diplomas
followed, President Liebig max
ing brief and timely address
to the class of 30, and earnestly
enjoining each member to be
forever loyal to the memory Of
old Broaddus. By the way,
President Liebig has something
to be proud of in the fact that
this is the largest and finest class
that has ever been graduated
from this institution during its
entire history.

we may have a blessed reunion
in that realm where the circle Of

rim cHTEF OF POLICE.

The vacancy in the Police Depart
ment. caused by the resignation OF
Chief Dolan. will now receive the at
tention of the Police Commission, who
cannot do better than to reconsider
their action accepting the chiefs resig-
nation.
The Police Department was never
better disciplined, nor IN more compe-
tent hands than It has been during
Chief Dolan's administration, and there
is widespread sentiment that he
should be retained His one fault is
not underestimated, but his good quail
fications for the position are so many
that the Police Commission should not
act hastily in disposing of the place.
Chief Dolan has acted in a manly
manner by sending in his resignation,
but the public would not be in any way
benefited by Chief Dolan's retirement
from the service.

LAWYER VS.. WITNESS.
ROUGH AND TUMBLE SCRAP MAR

THIS MORNING.

ROUGH AND TUMBLE SCRAP MAR
ROWLY AVERTED IN COURT
THIS MORNING.
Lewis c. vandegrift, attorney for the
complainants in the case of S. j..
Schless, the former Market street jew
eler, who was arrested on charge of
defrauding his creditors, and Samuel
Carroll, a witness in the case, nearly
had a personal encounter at the hear
ing before Judge Grubb this afternoon.
During the argument made by Mr..
Vandegrift, Carroll claimed that the
attorney made some very uncompli-
mentary illusions to him, and at the
close of the case he approached Mr..
Vandegrilt with the idea of resenting
the insult Carroll is a relative of
Schless, the prisoner, and did not like
being referred to as one of this class
of people" as Mr.. Vandegrift put it in
his remarks concerning Schless, the al
legged absconder. 81 want you to know,
said Carroll angrily to Mr.. Vandegrift,
that you have no right to vilify me
in this manner, and if you are a gentle
man you will apologize for it, | don't
belong to any such class as you refer
The attorney retorted by saying
something about Carroll minding his
own business, when the latter rubbed
up to him with feathers much ruffied,
and is reported to have called Vande-
grift a liar then and there.
The attorney was by this time highly
incensed at the witness. and laying his
hat and books on a table he rushed to-
ward Carroll. Both men shook their
fists in one another's faces for a few
seconds and the spectators expected to
see a rough-and-tumble mix-up, but
were disappointed
Friends of each participant in the
lively hare-up interceded and prevented
what looked for a while like an i'm
pending catastrophe. A settlement was
finally reached. Schless was discharged
by Judge Grubb and the case dismissed
for want of sufficient evidence II. II
Ward was Schless attorney.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.

Madame Blanc, a famous French wo-
man, and the author of Women in
America" which has attracted wide
spread attention in France and Amer
lea, in an interview in Baltimore yes
terday had the following to say about
the american girl:
81 admire the young girls here in the
United States very much. Iney arc
charming and very intelligent. But ]
admire the American young men more.
They are certainly the most chivalrous
men in the world to-day, and the con-
sideration which is shown by them to
the other sex is not approached in any
other country.
This is, / consider, the explanation
of the freedom, which is allowed to
your young girls. If the men in France
were as they are here, our French
mothers would not keep such a close
watch on their daughters.
THE immense possibilities that are
present to every American girl lead hei
into a great many fields that are un-
touched by women in France. We have
some women, medical students, work
ing along with the men. but the ex-
pertinent was at first considered a
doubtful one, and its success has not
yet been completely established. We
have very few women journalists. The
field has been considered by us entirely
unsuited to their talents.

AN EXPERIMENT IN CRIMINAL
LAW

A reform experiment in criminal
punishment Is soon to be tried in In
diana, which w..l be watched with rare
interest by her sister states. At pres
ent, and for many years. Indiana juries
have fixed terms of Imprisonment after
conviction. When the new law goes
into effect, the sole province Of a jury
will be to render the verdict, except in
cases of murder and treason, to which
the old law shall stlll apply. The
court will then call the prisoner to the
bar and sentence him, If ne Is 80 years
old or over, to a minimum term and to
a maximum term, such as the statutes
provide. 1t Is to be the duty of the
warden OF each prison in the state to
make up and preserve a sketch of the
inmates, which shall include tie causes
of their crime and an account Of their
education and their behavior in prison
When the minimum sentence has ex-
pired the convict may apply for his re-
sioners, composed of the warden, the
directors, the chaplain and the physi-
clan. II the board is satisfied from the
statement OF the warden that the con-
vict is a fit man to be released upon pa
role, an order shall issue Until the
period OF maximum sentence expires
he is to be technically in charge Of an
agent of the warden. So long as the
prisoner on parole conducts himself
like a good citizen, his liberty will be
secure. But if, on the other hand. the
warden's agent reports tnat he has be-
come idle and vicious and a danger to
society, the man is to be arrested and
returned to the prison from which he
was released. Upon his arrival the
board of commissioners will hear what
he has to say in his own defence
Should their determination be adverse
to him, he must then serve the unex-
pired maximum term. A prisoner on
parole need not, if his conduct IS ex-
emplary, continue to be under the sur
veillance of the warden's agent. wAen
the board is satisfied that he has be-
come a good citizen he shall OBTAIN
what is equivalent to a free pardon.
