Commencement Day Exercises.

The graduating exercises of the
Mineral Point High School took place
on last Friday morning, in the fine
lecture room of the F. NJ. church.
Rev. I. Kent acted as chaplain.
The musical features consisting of
solos, by Mr.. r, II. Hughes, Miss
Annie Phillips, and selections by the
orchestra were rightly and deserved
ly praised.
The room was tastefully decorated
with flowers and flags. Somehow. all
felt that the flag looked more glorious
than ever.
THE sweet girl graduate, " which
one has said, "there is no sweeter
creation, took the honors, as always,
in number, and called forth the re-
mark that 1.-THE boy of the future had
better look out or he will be eft.
The address was by Prof. Stearns,
OF Madison, on the American High
School 1t was listened to through
out with marked attention.
Professor Stearns dealt with the
practical rather than with the theoreti-
cal in education. He spoke of the
old Latin school in Boston as the first
herald of the coming High school.
He told how, through much opposition
and misunderstanding, the present
High school system of Wisconsin was
established. The wonderful advance
which has been made IN necessary
appliances TO carry on the scientific
work in our schools was noted.
Harvard, one of the foremost colleges
in the world when he was there in
1860, did not begin TO have what is
now FOUND in very many of the High
schools in our state. The improve
ment has come from a change of idea
in regard TO the Importance of scien-
titic studies. Now both Latin and
Greek have to share honors with
| scientific studies. No longer do the
classics hold the only key that unlocks
the door of mental development. :" If
| you want to find on a foreign ship, a
man who can talk the English Ian
guage you must seek out the engineer, -
| is remark that tells the whole story
Not the man with a classical training
but the one with scientific and
mechanical education is the one who
makes the ship formidable on the sea,
both in battle and commerce. The
practical art of doing, as we'll as
| thinking, is one OF the essential
features of our high school education.
How highly this is valued is seen in
| our splendid school houses. This
shows that as nation we believe that
mental development should stand on
the same level with material progress &,
as the relation is so essential that the
moment we allow one to fall below the
| other there is trouble. AS the great
| Cathedrals of the old world stand as
evidences of architectural triumphs
and spiritual strength, so stand
Americas High school buildings with
their architectural beauty and splen-
did equipments as indications of our
IDEAS not that we do not believe in
the spiritual growth, but in the I'M
disputed fact that the mental must be
recognized as factor in our national
life and growth.
Prof. Stearns spoke without notes,
but he had his subject we'll in hand.

The most sacred and solemn day of the
Jewish year, Yom Kippur, was observed
yesterday with full ceremonies in all the
synagogues. 1t was the day of atonement
and fasting and the solemnity of the
services held the worshipers from the
early morning till the setting of the sun.
The Yom Kippur services of Sunday
night ushered IN the prayers and fasting
which continued until o'clock last night.
The choirs of the Temple Emanuel and
Sheriff. Israel were augmented and the
beautiful and soul-stirring music of the
services at both synagogues was exQuis-
itely rendered. The white drapery, the
dim lights and the flowers lent solemnity
to the congregations of worshipers alb

the day.

He Came Here Expecting to Wed the

The police are occasionally hearing from
dupes of Mrs. Grace Allison, the wealthy
widow of Bain's matrimonial agency,
and yesterday one of them, an old man
with white chin whiskers and wearing a
pair of gold-rimmed spectacles, called at
police headquarters and told his tale of
woe.
His name Is Alexander 8. Sampson and
he came all the way from West Duxbury
Plymouth County, Mass, to wed the
wealthy widow. He arrived here about
six weeks ago and brought with him only
$25, as he expected to get married at once
to the alleged widow and live comfortably
off her wealth. She saw him, and after
learning that he was only possessed of
a small piece of property in West Dux-
bury she discarded him. His money soon
ran out, and he had to search for work
to keep him alive.

rig, of Milton, Pa, shot and perhaps
fatally wounded Will B. Davis, of st.
Clair, Pa, at Millersville yesterday
and then killed himself. The boys
were pupils of business college il
Philadelphia and went to Millcrsville
to call upon two lady students at the
normal school there.
A note written by Gehrig gives his
explanation of the tragedy, as follows
I'VE are dead in love with Alice Cum
mings and Annie Holmes and, not be,
ing able to see them, and they keep
ing away from us, we resolved to take
our lives"
Davis denies there was any compact
to commit suicide. 1t seems that Geh.
rig was desperately in love with Miss
Cummings and that he and Davis had
a dispute over her. Gehrig then, it is
supposed, decided to kill Davis and
then take his own life, and wrote the
letter to make the affair appear like &

TWO MONSTER GUNS.
One is Already Completed and the Other
VIII be Finished in June for Our Govern

ment.
Reading, Pa, March 10.-The Car
penter steel works has been asked to
bid on over 1900 shells of various
sizes for the government. The con-
tract would amount to nearly $780,
600. The entire plant is now working
night and day on government con-
tract involving 100000. The Pennsyl-
vania Diamond Drill Manufacturing
Co. at Birdsboro yesterday received
orders to execute work known as ''re-
assembling" upon the five-inch seq
mental tube wire gun recently built
by the company and accepted by the
government.
The gun was tested at Sandy Hook
and 216 shots were fred. 1t is 10 feet
long and weighs 3% tons. 1t fires a
shot weighing so pounds and at the
test attained a maximum battery pres
sure of $4,000 pounds per square inch.
The muzzle velocity was 3,235 feet per
second and the maximum range nine
miles. The work will be completed
in from 80 to 80 days and it is said the
gun may be mounted on one of the
auxiliary cruisers. The Reading Iron
Co. is building ten-inch gun for the
government on the same segmental
plan as the above.

The populistic and free silverite gen
tlemen who carefully preserved their
campaign speeches in 1896 with the idea
that they could use them again in 1898
are going to have hard time in fitting
them to present conditions or in squar-
ing their record with the people to
whom they made their assertions in
that campaign. They then claimed
that prices could not advance with
out the free coinage of silver, yet they
face upon the stump in 1898 an adj
vanced figure in practically every arti-
Gle of farm produce. They claimed
in 1896 that 4 protective tariff would
not improve the conditions of the work
men, yet they find factories running
where smokeless chimEeys were visible
in 1896, and wages increased and en-
ployment plentiful. They insisted
when the Dingley tariff bill was under
discussion in congress that it would cut
down our sales abroad and would be
insufficient to produce the necessary
revenue at home, yet they find that our
sales abroad have increased and that
the new law is now producing revenue
at the rate of over $1,000,000 day,
sufficient to keep pace with the average
expenses of the government. What will
they do about it? What will they say
now?-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

islative Annals of
the Nation.

Washington, March 1O.-President
McKinley's hands have been upheld by
both branches of congress. With en-
thusiasm, fervor and promptness al
most unparalleled in the senate in
time of peace, that body yesterday
passed the emergency appropriation
bill carrying Sls3, 600 of deficiencies
and placing at the disposal of the
president $50 600, 900 for national de-
fense. The vote by which the measure
was passed was unanimous. Seventy
six short and emphatic speeches were
delivered in favor of the bill, each one
being simply a ringing AYE" during
the roll call upon the passage of the
measure. Not only did every senator
present register his vote in favor of
the announcement was made that if
he was present he would vote aye.
From the time the bill was presented
to the senate by Mr.. Hale until it was
passed not an inharmonious note was
sounded. Party lines were swept
aside.
Twelve minutes after the bill was
reported to the senate the vice preSi-
dent announced its unanimous pass
age. The great work was accomplished
so quickly that most of the people who
crowded the galleries scarcely realized
that the measure, SO far as congress
was concerned, had become a law.
Some of the spectators fully grasped
the meaning of the senate's action aud
when the announcement of the vote
was made a murmur of applause ran
through the galleries. The members
of the senate, however, maintained a
dignified silence.

THE MONTGOMERY AT HAVANA

An American Cruiser Casts Anchor In the
Center of Circle Composed of Spanish
Ships.
Havana, March 10.-The arrival here
Wednesday of the cruiser Montgomery
was very quiet, it being generally un-
derstood that she comes to replace the
Fern as quarters for Capt. Sigsbce and
others. Commander Converse, of the
Montgomery, is a high authority on
explosives and his advice will be useful
to the court of inquiry into the loss of
the Maine. After firing the usual
salute and being saluted in return, the
Montgomery was moored in the princi-
pal harbor, near the wreck of the
Maine and in the center of a circle of
Spanish ships.
The Montgomery is as trim and neat
as possible. Nobody is allowed on
board without permission, but nobody
is excluded if business or courtesy de-
mands the admission of the visitor.
There is no intimation of the length
of the cruisers stay. The court of in
uuiry held it's usual sessions yesterday,
examining the divers. Only the Span
ish divers were at work.
