the Rocks for Miies-No Assist
ance Available.

ST. Johns, Jan. 49, / a. m.-The fol-
lowing comprise all the details regard
ing the wreck in 81. Mary's bay that
could be obtained up to midnight:
The ship is a two-masted steamer OF
nearly 5000 tons, and probably carried
a crew Of sixty. with possibly some
passengers. She went ashore before
daybreak on Thursday, striking a ledge
at the foot Of the cliff where escape
was hopeless. The crew launched the
boats, but probably during the panic
some were crushed against her side,
others being swamped, all the occu-
pants apparently perishing.
The ship was seen to be on fire by
residents six miles away. Attracted
to the scene, they found the after hall
Of the wreck blazing fiercely and the
forepart under water. Kerosene in the
cargo helped the blaze.
At that time only three men were
left on board. Two were on the bridge
and one was In the rigging Those on
the bridge were safe until about p
m, when they were washed overheard
and drowned, the bridge being carried
away. The survivor soon after left
the rigging, swan TO the rocks anc
twice endeavored to get footing. Fall
ing in this, he made his way back tt
the rigging, where he died Of exposure
during the night. Many dead bodies
are visible tossing In the surf. Two
Of them thrown UP In cove cannot

One is thought TO be that OF woman.
Boats and wreckage are strewr

pieces TO such an extent that 1t has
sunk beneath the waves. A severe gait
Is raging tonight which Is likely to re-

commissioner hopes to be able TO OBJ

dents along the shore made every pos
sibe effort to rescue the survivor II
the rigging, but lacking proper outfits
they were unable TO succeed.
There is not the slightest prospect
that any soul on board escaped death
as the intense midwinter cold would

The class of 1900, 80 far as its connec-
tion with the public schools OF the city
is concerned is thing Of the past. The
commencement exercises last night ter
minated this connection and only will
the classs be known hereafter as por-
tion of the alumni Of the High school.
Ten ladies and gentlemen composed
the class OF this year and without com
parisop with classes that have gone be-
fore it averaged with any Of them.
Bright hopes and anticipations go out
with them, as they either enter broader
fields OF intellectual culture. or at once
commence the contest with the world.

everywhere. The colors are orange and
purple and they make beautiful and
telling combination. But OF all the de-
corations Of the stage tho flowers created
the beautiful effect. Great banks were
10 front OF the platform and the ladies
and gentlemen who sat on the stage
were almost hidden as they were seated.
The graduating class wore caps and
gowns, which was an innovation, the pres
snt class being the frat to wear this
distinguishing garb Of student life. In
conformity with the garb Of the class

Besides tho member Of the class who
occupied the centre of the stage, there
was seated on the platform the teachers
in the higher grades, the members Of the
board Of education; Bev. O. r. B. Ward

Tho length Of the program makes it
impossible to give q review OF all the
orations. They were most excellent
throughout and reflected credit upon
the standard OF ability of the class. One
satisfactory feature was the naturalness
displayed By nearly all those who spoke.
There was an absence Of that very tire

known as the Delsarte in elocution. In
years past these exercises had almost
degenerated into an exhibition Of Del
sarte and were quiet wearysome.

trayed what Culture had done for the
world and was stil and would continue
to do.

the bright particular star to be held up
as sample of young America. Mr..
Hill has a good presence, is withal SER
ious and his Grafton elected rounds Of
applause. 1t was we'll conceived and
able paper and the young gentleman de-
serves credit for his analysis of tho
great friend OF the nation In it's early
history.
Anti Expansion present time theme
was taken by William o. Rice for his
subject. Mr.. Rice in his language and
in argument presented the eide Of the
anti imperialist in delightful style.
There we're no hackneyed phreses,
but up to date argument upon this sub.
jeot 30 fraught with interest to the peo-
pie Of this country today Mr.. Rice
certainly showed broad reading and
some considerable thought upon his
subject and his Grafton deserves COM
mendation.
Mr.. Hill here rendered solo, "Out On
the Deep" which gave opportunity for .
display Of his really f1ne voice
"Expansion," the subject Of G. Ben
Wiley's Grafton seemed to touch a popu-
lar chord with the audience. Mr.. Wiley
was entirely unconventional, and in this
lay the charm of his speaking. ae was
evidently true believer in the doctrine,
which for the time being be was an OK
ponent and his periods received hearty
assent OF the audience in the cordial ap-
plause given him. He quoted tho we'll
known arguments Of the spell binder
and couehed them in language terse and
attractive. Tho speech was we'll con-
seived and we'll spoken, and was ono Of
the numbers of the program which will
be we'll remembered.
Frances z. Ball spoke on the subject
"Nature" Miss Ball had without any
doubt one Of the best papers OF the even
ing. II We would criticize at all we
should say that her enunoiation was not

Berta NJ. Hoskins told Of the Red
Gross" This was an attractive Grafton.
Who can hear Of the great work per-
formed upon the held OF battle by this
unselfsh band of women, belonging to
every civili1ed nation of the world, with
out having his heart stirred within him.
The history Of the organization was
graphically traced by Misa Hoskins from
the very beginning of the movement to
provide relief to the MANNED and dying
upon the field OF battle. But Miss Hos
kins spoke entirely too fast. Her teach
ers are responsible for this, not Miss
Hoskins. Her effort was we'll conceived
and enjoyable had it not been her man
ner of delivery, which was greatly i'm
pared from the fact that she run her
words together, almost to tho extent Of
being unintelligible.
Carl X. Rupp spoke Of "War." This

was an inexhaustible subject What
war had done as a civilizing agent terse-
ly told by Mr.. Rupp. He was thorough

ton was mastery and creditable. II
war needed men, such men as Mr.. Rupp
will make will be invaluable in the fu-
ture.
Miss AIDA Rumble took the unpleas-
ant subject Of Poverty. At all times
disagreable subject to consider, Miss
Rumble evolved considerations in lifes
make up which are absolutely true.
A people is more levellsd through the
influence Of poverty. than through count
less other evils. Poverty and the train
OF evils that follow il its wake is respon-
sible for the undoing OF more nations,

portrayed which fights men OF more than
ordinary ability down to the level OF the
dregs Of society. Miss Rundle's master

audience. OF self posted and we'll
contained nature, with tho graees OF the
orators art aptly used Miss Rumble is al
ways . speaker whom it is worth the
while to hear and her handling Of the
subject Poverty made one OF the credita-
BILE efforts OF the evening.
With probably all save a very small
number Alice A. Ackermans speech on
the Policy Of England, was without
doubt considered the most notable effort
OF the evening. Miss Alderman could
not have written such an address with
out the most exhaustive research into
the history Of the foreign policy Of this
leader among nations. Her analysis of
England's policy in India. America and
tho Transvaal was dramatically recited
and her arraignment Of . policy which
that nation held as . civilizing influence
was sarcastic and telling. The young
lady's manner carried conviction with
every uttered word. There was no
straining for agonized effect. but .
wholesome independ ,nce in the delivery
OF her impassioned Arraisnment, which
style was without any question whatsv-
Or delight to ell who heard 1t. Aiss
Ackerman received rounds Of applauas
for her effort.
Miss Cora Coleman spoke OIL the sub
juct Wings. MiSs Coleman was ono of
tho brightest young ladies OF her class.
Her competition was ono OF the very
best OF those spoken last nigt Miss
Coleman, however. was the last speaker
on the program and the audience had be-
come 30 restless that on account of the
weakness Of her voice it was at times
almost impossible to distinguish and
keep the run of her train of thought.
What was heard was especially good and
deserving of recognition. Miss Cole
man was liberally spplauded.
At the close Of the speaking DR.. He-
man r. Bull, president Of the board Of
education called the members OF the
graduating class before him and presen-
ted each with their diplomas Of gradua-
ton. Following the presentation DR..
Bull made very pleasant and apprO-
pirate talk to the class.

Rev. MoRoNY's' INNOVATION.
Radical Departure From Established Pull
pit Customs.

Rev. Morony, of the Episcopal
church has decided.to make an unusual
departure from what we have long re.
garded as traditional pulpit custom.
Beginning with next Sunday evening
his sermons at the night services will
be illustrated by lessons taken from
books of fiction. Each sermon will be
based. as sermons generally are, upon
a Scripture text and will be applied to
every day life through the medium of
some standard novel. Next Sunday
night, ITO have and to Hold" will
furnish the illustrations for the sermon.
Anyone interested in modern literature
will be glad to hear these sermons.
This pronounced departure from
old-time pulpit methods will probably
call down upon Rev. Morony some
criticism from those who do not ap.
prove of novel-reading. In his an.
nouncement Rev. Morony anticipated
such criticism by stating that the good
must be separated from the bad, and
that while some novels were not worth
reading others were and contained
lessons taken from real life and great
truths which everyone should know.
Whatever is said for or against this
new idea such sermon topics are sure
to attract intellectual people.
