Sixteen Young Women Receive Diplomas
ut the woilaston School.
The annual commencement OF thu
teachers training school was held Tues
day afternoon at the Wollaston Pub
lie School Building. DIR. Evan g.
Shortlidge was unavoidably detained at
his business, so L, b. Morrow, of the
school committee, presided.
The graduates, 16 young women, were
escorted to the stage by the class of
1901. The exercises began with singing
1.-THE Torrent by the GLASSES. This
WAS followed by prayer by the Rev. A.
N. Keigwin, d. D., In which he begged
the Almighty 10 shower down His
blessings upon those about to enter upon
their duties as instructors for the
young. and to guide them with His
unerring hand. .4fta
Miss Estelle J. Foreman then read a
delightful essay entitled, Keep
Sweet" In 1t she pointed out clearly
to her sohoolmates and those present
how important 1t is to gain the good
will Of those under our care. Teach
ers' happiness brings happiness to mary
others. The teacher has in his or her
hand the lot of the pupil; it can be
made good NJ 1t may easily be spoiled. !"
Miss Foreman told the story of how q
young soldier standing idly in front of
bis tent was shot down by bullet
fred wildly and at random, but with
deadly effect So 1t is with words, says
she, 'for many brief talk uttered
with no wrong intention will do ire
parable damage.
Influence never dies, but lives for
ever, and the longer it lives the stronger
it grows. Silence is golden. To speak
the right thing and at the right time
is an art not easily cultivated"
She finished amid hearty applause.
The next on the programme was an
essay composed and read by Miss Mabel
e. Baird. She, by able arguments and
frequent use of history, showed the
necessity of education in the advance
ment of civilization. VI
Miss Anna w. Simmons then sang
most beautifully the song entitled 1.-THE
Flower Girl"
The Rev. William W. King, D. d.,
made the address to the graduates. He
spoke mostly Of his early life when he
was teacher in the public schools Of
Virginia.; how, at the age of IA he
graduated from the training school with
100 per cent, and soon gained great
reputation as one who administered
corporal punishment with all tho vigor
of a Delaware sheriff. He urged them
to take for their motto not me plus
ultra but 'Plus ultra
. After tho distribution OF diplomas by

Boards of supervisors in Iowa that
have been paying out big money to tray
cling tax spies for hunting unreported
property which regular officers should
report, now find themselves in a predica-
ment that will be anything but pleasant.
The species were authorized, by the
boards that employed them, to 20 back
five years in noising up delinquents, for
which they were in many instances
paid fifty per cent. of all property tax
reported. A few days ago it was decid-
ed by the district court that the law did
not authorize the reports Of property
for back taxes preceding the adoption
Of the new code in 1898, and that all col.
lections made on property reported by
tax "ferrets" previous to this date must
be refunded by the county to those from
whom it was collected and the best at
torneys of the state say the supreme
court will undoubtedly sustain this de-
cision: Thus the counties that went
into the hiring of travelling spies,
through their boards of supervisors,
will not only be out the fat fee paid the
spies but must, in addition, shell ont
the entire amount from which the
species pocketed their per cent

Senator Gear Dead.

Senator John n. Gear died suddenly
at his hotel In Washington Saturday.
He had been in declining health for
some months but his demise was totally
unexpected at this time. He had Just
completed arrangements to return to
his home in Burlington when the death
summons came to him, his death being
caused from an attack of heart trouble.
His remains were brought to his home
in Burlington, the funeral being held
yesterday afternoon.
The death of Senator Gear will reopen
the fight which was waged last winter
by the friends of Mr.. Cummins against
the republican machine. 1t gives the
appointment Of a successor to. Senator
Gear to Governor Shaw, and there is
much speculation as to who he will APP
point. The governor himself is suppos-
ed to be candidate for the position at
the time Of the next election by the
Iowa legislature and he will probably
appoint some one for the unexpired
term who will step down and out in his
favor at the proper time. 1t is. not at
all likely that he will make an appoint
ment until after the coming election.

ed proceedings in divorce suit, in
which the parties desired that no
publicity should be given the case. The
editor says his mission is not to make
news, but to publish it, and adds: "If
the people desire to be kept out of news
papers they must keep out of court and
politics. If they get into court or
politics they might as well make UP
their minds that things will be said
about them which are not pleasant to
their ears"
