At the close of Mr.. Dillingham's address
the High school quartet, composed of
Messrs. Gilbert, Morse, Dugan and Ad-
ans, sang Handels "Trust in the Lord"
In presenting the class to the school
board Principal Whitaker brought out the
fact that the graduates were about to real
ize the anticipations of four years and to
receive the seal of their work. One of the
first questions which would confront them,
he said, upon their entrance into real life,
was "What can ye do?" This could be
answered in no better way than by the
class motto doe ye nexte thynge." Mr..
Whitaker then cautioned the graduates
against the many temptations TO which
they would be subject, but strongly ex-
pressed the belief that every member of
the class would be able to fight them man
fully and in the end triumph. He closed
by wishing the graduates Godspeed in
their new responsibilities.
C. H. Thompson, in behalf of the school
board, said that the hopes of the com
mittee for the class were concentrated in
the words of the class motto. He empha-
sized the great need of men and women in
| the future and spoke strongly as to what
| type Of men and women were most in de-
mand. In closing he expressed his desire
! that each member of the class should bear
| up in his struggle against the wrong with
which he would come in contact in the
| larger sphere of the world. The diplomas
were then conferred by Mr.. Thompson,
after which the class ode was sung by the
! graduates. The exercises closed with a
selection from Tannhauser by the school

A few years ago Chicago dealer
sent over ship load of horses and
offered them on the English markets.
At first he could not induce the
auctioneer to allow them to be brought

to take place. When they were placed
on sale, ''they won in a walk" as the
cablegram read that was sent back to
America

NEW YORK, Jan. aO.-A Washington
dispatch to the New York Journal
say: 1t is announced on excellent
authority that the Pr.,' Int has de-
e:i.:ed to remove General Brooke, mill
tary governor Of Cuba, and appoint
f;~neral Leonlrd Wood in his place.
Tta change is to take place Febru ry
]. General Wilson is reported to be
schedule for seco I'd in command.
The recent friction between General
Brooke ANA General Wood over the ex-
pend ture of the Santiago customs
l.n.ls color to this report. General
Wood had been spending the Santiago
customs receipts on improvements in
the province of Santiago, when Cen
eral Brooke, without regarding Wood,
srdered the San -iago collector to re-
NIT to Havana. The business men OF
Eastern Cuba at once Protested, and
General Wo,l went to Wash ytoa to

der was issued from HlvAna, Thurs
lay, which practically count!'rmandel
ucneral Erooke's previous order.
The reason f.: tn, clal se IL COVER
nors, should it be made, would be the
remarkable service Of General Wool as
governor Of the distric. of Santiago.
