Several clergymen boarded a street

"I should like to speak to you about
something, and ! trust, sir, you will

"There is no fear Of 1t" was the
sturdy answer, and then the minister
began to ask Mr.. Phillips earnestly why
he persisted in stirring up such an nm.

country about an evil that existed in
another part.

Geologists point out the fact that this

the fate of those which once existed in

been depressed 800 feet or more. Tho

Commencement week has really
opened and that with a splendid pros
pect for a good time all the way
through. The class in oratory APP
peared before a large audience and rem
dered a very creditable program in
deed. We have not the time to give
the program the write up it deserves,
but must mention some of the num-
bers. The humorous numbers, "The
Cow and the Bishop" by John Mick
and "The Sehool-boys' Strike" by Min
ME Conner, appealed to the audience
from the first. Miss Conner did par
ticularly we'll. 1.-THE Felon's Wife, and
"Aux Italiens" were given by Mamie
lSmithson and Dee Conner in a man
ner that speaks much for their future
in this line. Lawrence Snively in
"The Unknown Speaker" appeared at
his best, and that is always good. That
difficult, but soul-stirring piece, "Zin-
garella," wa given by Professor Elliott
with all the feeling and earnestness
which it SO fally deserves. Her inter
probation wa fine. The High school
Mandolin club favored the audience
with a charming selection, muchappre-
ciated by all. Professor McDole sang
one of her sweetest solos in her own
most delightful way and then most
cruelty refused to respond to the great
round of applause which greeted her
with aught else than a bow. Miss Jen-
nings and Miss Silkenson played their
piano duet as they always do, we'll.
The last number on the program was a
selection by the Philo Mandolin club
which brought out a most hearty and
deserved encore. The entire oratory
class did a credit to themselves in this
the first appearance of most of them
before the public. The selections were
good and the bearing and articulation
of the speakers is certainly a strong
evidence of their professor in prepar-
ing them for the evening. She has
given much extra time to this class
and the members responded nobly.
