selton, and Miss Ella Stout, the primary
instructress from Fargo were introduced
to the institute by that past master in
educational affairs, Co. Sup't E. j. Fox.
Since opening, the sessions of each day
have been closely devoted to the bust
ness of the week, extra efforts being put
forth by all to cover as much ground as
possible and secure ''day-of" to see the
elephant and take in the circus to-day.
Last evening they turned out on masse to
witness the Evolutionary efforts of the
Langdon ladies taking part in the Mat
ron's Contest. Tomorrow night, the
closing of the institute it is understood

Twsnty-Six Graduates.

Twsnty.Six Graduates.
Friday afternoon of last week teachers
and scholars of this city bid good bye to
the school room for ten weeks. An excel
lent program made the event pleasing
and profitable.
The exercises were begun at 2 O'Clock
and the main hall of the school building
was not nearly large enough to take care
of the parents and friends of the children
present. Certificates of proficiency were
presented to class of 26 who graduate
from the grammar class to high school
work. This is the first year that exami-
nations for high school work have been
conducted here and the class are congra-
tulated on the earning of their honors by
persevering and persistent study. A class
of 16 follow in their footsteps during the
coming year while they take the high
school course of study. Those receiving
certificates were:
Violo Truax Bruce jackson
Lille NJ. Shaw Levina Porter
Nellie Click Katie McCay
Helen Sullivan Luella Gravelle
Leo ALERT ll1llle CRAWFORD
Mabel Mcknight Maud Crawford
John Boyd Ollie M. Hodgins
Mark OBrien Stella Balfour
Lille Meiklejohn Vera ALERT
I Alice Blakely Loretto Barnette
Constance Truax Willie Farrell
Frank McGauvran Allie Stewart
Lizzie Wakeford Annie McCay
The program by the school consisting
of music and Rotations was enlivened
by some wholesome suggestions humor-
ously introduced by W. E. Clifford, B. D.,
of Grand Forks. Remarks were also
made by Go. Sup't Fox and members Of
the school board.

they should be willing 20 transport the
display free OF charge. II Is believed that
the roads from this state have even more

Oregon line. There are rumors that Pres
ident James J. Hin. of the Great North
ern. will be In the city tomorrow, and II
so he will be waited on by members OF
the commission to gain the cooperation
OF his road.
A letter was received yesterday by Sec
rotary L. VI. Wood from Architect c. w.
Saunders, IN which he comments on the
Oregon exhibit and the tai frs that viii
be used in showing the lumber products
Of the state. One Of tho Washington COM
missioners Iaughingly remarked when
shown the letter that II would be a joke
If Oregon huoyed up her reputation by
using Washington fir in ner exhibit"
Speaking Of the apparent want of interest
in the state representation at the fair
shown in this city. Saunders says:
at seems extraordinary that the state
should lose this opportunity 10 set forth

a section that Will prove 10 be the great

DIES IN BED.
And Under His Pillow Are Found
Several whisky Bottles.

John Brown, who has figured in numer-
Gus police stories. owing 10 his affection
for Mrs. George Lavigne, was found dead
in bed over Dahfs barn, rear OF SO First
avenue south, yesterday morning. Under
his pillow We're whisky bottles. Deputy
Coroner Yandell decided that death was
due 10 alcoholism.
As long as Mr.. and Mrs. I.avigne lived
together Brown was In trouble. One even
Brown and Mrs. Lavigne were chatting
together over pail Of beer. when Mr.
Lavigne came home Unexpectedly and
went for Mr.. Brown with long knife.
Tables, chairs, beer and a stove were
mixed up in wild confusion when the
clouds raised.
Mr.. Brown had been carved in most
artistic manner. He recovered quickly
and was soon caught playing Romeo ard
juliet with Mrs. Lavigne Detective
Powers captured the redoubtable Brown
on the roof. hiding behind a chimney with
a pail OF beer.
One day Brown was in the police court
for some minor offense. His opponent
made long speech, and Brown DESTROYED
its effect by bobb.ng M and saying: Your
honor. this man can make a better speech
than / because he has had more practice"
No one Will ever know what Browns
true name was. He once told the writer
that he did not care 10 have his people
know what had become Of him.

ways Calculations VII be made OF the
number Of revolutions necessary 10 make
the contract speed based upon the pitch q
the propeller. Then two patent logs.
placed as far outside the vessels wake
80 possible, will be used over measured
distances. The tide effect will be careful-
iy figured in determining the Rowan's
speed. In no case will Moran's engineer
be allowed 20 turn off steam while the
boat is off the course for the purpose OF
getting better effects while on the run.
According 10 Secretary Longs orders the
trial cannot be more than three hours IN
length. The board IS instructed that the
department viii accept the Rowan at PORT
Orchard instead Of az the Mare Island
navy yard in case everything is sa,isfac-
tory
The run made yesterday morning was
the first that has been entirely successful.
The machinery worked perfectly and Capt.
Libby drove her down the sound at D
great rate. He VIII probably take the
Rowan out again today for another trial.

The British Columbia. Seattle & Pacific
Coas. Railway Company has s,gC!fied It's
formal acceptance OF the conditions i'm
posed by the city council in the ordinance
granting the company sts franchise and
right OF way through the city. II the
company stands by its pledges. as there
is every reason 10 believe i, will, work
viii be begun promptly, and by Novem-
Der !. 1899. there will De a new and indie
pendent line between Seattle and Port
land.
Seattle men who are in position 10 know
say the Eastern capitalists who are back
ing the company have plenty Of money.
That they mean business is shown by
their prompt acceptance Of al! the condi-
tons laid down by the city council.
The advantages which the road viii af-
ford to Seattle have already been pointed
out in the Post-Intelligeneer. and a map
and description OF the route through the
city have also been published. When
completed the road will afford TWO trans
continental roads entrance to this city.
and the Union Pacific from the south.
From the fact that the Vanderbilts have
strong holdings and important connec-
tons with both these lines, many people
believe they are silent partners in the
construction Of the new road.
The formal acceptance OF the company,
fled yesterday. Is as follows:
New York City, May %. 1895.
ITO the mayor and common council OF
the city OF Seattle.
Gentlemen: We are pleased 10 ac-
knowledge the receipt of the information
Of the passage of ordinance No. 4,sl0, and
beg TO accept the same subject to all the
covenants, terms and conditions therein
contained. Respectfully yours.

ATTEST: AUSTIN B. FLETCHER, Sec
retary.'
The original ordinance, framed by coun-
sci for the company. did not suit the
council, and several amendments were in
corporated in it. Among the more strin-
gent conditions imposed by the ordinance
in its present form are these: The COM
pany must plank its own crossings and
street intersections and keep them in con-
slant repair; it must light its own cross
ings; must complete its road between Sc
attic and Portland by November. 1899, and
guarantee that 1t is an independent line:
1t must defend all damage suits which
may be brought against the city on &C.
count of defective tracks. inefficient train
service or other causes which may result
in injury or death to man or beast, and
must pay all judgments growing out OF
such suits.
Maurice McMicken. who represents the
company here, stated that work would be-
gin promptly upon the acceptance OF the
franchise by the company, and that two
parties would be put in the field within
two weeks from the passage OF the ordi-
nance, one 10 survey and the other 10

HoMEspuN PHILOSOPHY.

After people pass thirty-five they
never make as fine appearance at any
thing as when engaged in work.
Talk as men shoot; make everything
that you say hit the mark or don't
waste your ammunition.
No man is an interesting talker when
members of his family are present, for
the reason that kin pin each other
down to facts.
You will find as you grow older that
good many who claim to have their
coats off working for you have them
rolled up for pillows and are sleeping
on them in the shade.
After all there isn't any better friend
than the one who never throws things
up to you"
A fortunate man is one who isn't re-
minded every time his wife smiles Of
dentists bills.
We are annoyed until we are thirty
by the example" we should follow,
and annoyed after that time till death
gets us at the example" we are setting
others.
When man fails in business his
thoughts turn at once to securing a
public Office. Every man thinks it is
easy to get one.
No one is jumped on SO quickly when
he does wrong as the man who made
himself a self-appointed guide for
others.
