The Arcadia Commencement.

The twenty annual COM
mencement of the Ursuline Academy,
| Arcadia, took place Monday, June
10Th. 1899. The spacious art hall was
filed to Overlooking with the friends
and patrons OF the Institution who
| were highly pleased and entertained
with the exercises of the afternoon.
The stage decorations were appropri-
ate and in rare good taste, Surmount-
| ing the drop curtain was the class
motto, s'Semper Fidelis," in letters of
gold, festooned with bunting of the
class colors of blue and white, above
| which was suspended a handsome
shield whereon was artistically painted
Forget me-not"- class flower.
Under the stage and in front of the
audience were rows of large oleanders
and other plants, whose bright, green
foliage and sweetly- scented blossoms
gave to the scene the beauty and
fragrance of the garden.
The programme was, indeed, most
excellent one; it had been happily Sc
lected, and the rendition was certainly
all that could be desired-a literary
and musical treat.
Every participant from the little
girls to the young lady graduates,
gave unmistakabIe evidence of careful
preparation and special fitness for the
part assigned, and the applause that
greeted every feature gave proof of
universal approval and delight.
The chief feature of the programme
was ssBaltassar," dramatic cantate
in FIVE acts; it is the story of Bel
shazzar and the fall of Babylon, rich
in dramatic effect and replete with in
terest. Nearly all OF the young ladies
took part in this production, and that
they acquitted themselves most happi-
| ly, all agree, while the costumes and
stage settings and effects savOred of
true oriental splendor and magnifi-
cence.
Between the different acts of the
| Cantate were rendered several most
meritorious instrumental selections.
Most of them were taken from the
classics and the execution was faultless.
The essays delivered by the gradu-
ates, Misses Hermine Drummer and
I.eola c. Welnsberg, are deserving OF
more than passing notice. For style
and thought they are entitled to special
| praise.
The display OF needle and art work
on exhibition in the library and par
lor was a beautiful one, indeed, and
fully up TO the standard for which the
Ursuline Academy has long been IA
nous.
At the conclusion of the programme
Rev. L. e. Wernert conferred gradual
ing honors, and premiums were dis
tributed, which was followed by a
short and appropriate address to the
graduates by Rev. Muehlsiepen OF ST.
| Louis.
The Commencement was in every
respect complete success-refected
much credit on the institution, the in
structors, and the pupils, all alike.
The Ursuline Academy has rounded
another year of usefulness, added new
laurels to its wreath, more jewels to
its coronet!

HYPNoT1sM AND OSCILLATION.
A Combine That Resulted in Pro-
fessOr's Arrest.

Wichita Kan, May 19.-Prof Charles
Benning, of Kellogg College. has been ar
rested and lodged in the city jail charged
with hypnotizing several young women
pupils. The warrant for his arrest was
sworn out by Mrs. Ella Whalley Her
daughter was among the hypnotiZed On, s.
Katharine Whalley is fifteen years old
Mrs. Whalley swears in her affidavit. on
which the warrant is founded, that Prof
Benning not only hypnotized Miss WhaI-
ley, but kissed her when he had brought
her into the hypnotic state. This kissing
is denominated technically as a cruel as
sault.
The girl is extremely pretty and very
bright pupil. She said very frankly to the
magistrate:
Prof. Benning had a way of passing his
hands over the foreheads of us girls when
he talked with US. Once he called me into
the hail and grasped my hands real tight
| was only reused from the stupor which
his hypnotism threw about me when he
kissed me.
When / told him I'd tell mother, he
touched my forehead before | could stop
him and then ! forgot all about it. / never

Mrs. Whalley only heard of these things

professor had administered an unmerciful
beating to her son. For this Benning
was arrested.
Only last January Prof. Benning was
suspended from his official position by the
school board pending an investigation of
seemingly widespread charge of kissing
students. There was no suspicion of hyp-
notlsm then. He returned to duty because
none of the complainants would appear
against him.
The case is of great local interest, be-
cause Prof. Benning is such a favorite in

THE MARYLAND VICTIMS.
InqUests Over the ROsensteins to u
Held Next Tuesday.

Armistead Taylor. who shot and killed
Sergeant Passau, and who by his own ac-
acknowledgement murderously assaulted
Mrs. Dora Rosenstein at Slidell, is now q
two-time murderer, and may be an acces-
scry to the killing of Louis Rosenstein.
His confession as published in The Times
showed that he alone assaulted Mrs. Ros-
ensteiu. When Taylor made the confess
sion he was under the impression that the
woman was dead. Such was not the case,
however as Mrs. Rosenstein did not die
until late Thursday night at the Maryland
University Hospital in Baltimore. The
woman did not recover from the effects OF
the assault on her to a sufficient extent to
make any statement. She was unconscious
when brought to the hospital, and re-
mained in that condition to the time of
her death. An autopsy was performed
yesterday afternoon, and the inquest Will
be held at the Western police station In
Baltimore Tuesday night at 1870 O'Clock.
1t is the intention of the authorities that
the jury impaneled for that inquest shall
ofiiciate at the inquest over the remains of
Louis Rosenstein. 1t was intended to hold
the inquest in the case of Louis Rossn-
stein last Thursday night, but as John
Brown and the Turner woman were not
present, the proceedings were postponed.
Coroner Grempler notified Sheriff Thomp-
son of Montgomery to bring the prisoners
from Rockville to Baltimore, but for some
reason 1t was not done ip time and the
prisoners did not arrive in Baltimore until
late Thursday night.
Armistead Taylor is still confined in the
District jail. He was visited yesterday by
Sheriff Thompson. and to that officer the
prisoner repeated the confession made to
Lieutenant Swindells and exclusively pub
| lished in The Times.
Contrary to all expectations, the case
| of Taylor was not taken up by the granC
| jury yesterday. II was said that It would
be. however, on Monday, when, in all prob.
ability. an Indictment will be found TIL,
Maryland authorities still hope to hav,
Taylor taken to Rockville as Il witnes.

SETS ASIDE A MARRIAGE.
The Wedding of Mrs. Beach to Me
dunn Rogers Annuiied.

New York, May 19.-The marriage Of
Harriet E. Beach and Henry Richardson
Rogers, the medium now in prison, which
took place at Cairo. Egypt, in 1897, has
been set aside by Justice Gildersleeve. of
the supreme court on the ground that Mrs.
Beach was mentally incompetent at the
time.
The action was brought at the instance of
her children, Frederick c. Beach and Mrs.
Jennie Beach Casper. They recently OBJ
tanned a decision that their mother is in
sane and had committee OF her estate
appointed. That decision did not so back
to the time OF the marriage. but Justice
Gildersleeve decides that she was insane at
that time and has since continued to be
incompetent.
