The graduating exercises of the
school of agriculture of the state uni
versity were held on Friday Of this
week. At this model farm, owned
and conducted by the state as a
school, nearly five hundred pupils
have been receiving instruction the
part year. This instruction is If the
valuable and practical sort, includ-
ing every branch of husbrndry, dairy
ing, plain carpentry and blacksmith
ing, the care of live stock, ETC., for
the boys, and the domestic features,
of farm life, household economy, and
similar studies for the girls. Almost
without exception the students are
the sons and daughters Of farmers,
and the instruction they receive is
not only of the utmost practical utili-
ty to them, but strengthens their APP
precautions Of farm life. The expense.
to the pupil is remarkably low, only
about $l2 per month, including
board, room, wishing, tuition, etc.
The popularity Of This educational
institution is growing year by year,
until now the present quarters are
almost inadequate to accommodate
the pupils. This is the model iGsti
tuition Of the kind in the world, and
is another bright example Of he
bene6cent legis alton enacted by the
Republican party Of this state, which
created it.

It is yet early in the session to sum
up the work of the present legisla-
ture, but if the ensuing few weeks
may be judged by the past, this
legislature will make an excellent
record. The bills thus far introduc-
ed are all carefully scrutinized and
examined by the various committees
to which they are referred, and it
may safely be said that no doubtful
measure has been made law; on
the other hand a considerable amount
OF wise legislation has already been
accomplished and has received the
signature of the governor, and a
much larger number of such bills are
vet under consideration. 1t is true
that many bills are introduced in
every Legislature which should meyer
become laws, and which do not, as a
rule; there have been very few Of this
class in evidence at the present SEES
sion. On thegother hand, measures
are being considered for revision
and codifcation Of many ofour press
ent laws, relating to various depart
ments, which will facilitate and sim .
pity their workings. Particularly is
this true of the bill fol codifying our
school laws, the bill for
insurance law and the bill
for deposit Of state money.

 John Moore, a clerk in the employ of M. F. Cassin, who conducts meat market on Baldwin street, had an ex- citing experience last Saturday. He was at the head of North Willow street when one of the shafts broke and hit the horse on the heels. This was the signal for wild runaway, which the horse kept up until he was captured at the Highland division station, but the clerk and the team did not go quite as far as that. They stopped of on North Willow street, near West Main street, where the kingbolt gave out and the animal went ahead aIone, leaving the carriage and MT Moore to take care of themselves. Moore made a good fight to control the runaway, and those who watched the mad horse claim that he would have performed the feat had it not been for the break ing of the kingbolt He was badly bruised, but not seriously hurt.

He or Seth Low May be Selected to
 Settle Strike.
 New York, May 27.-Bishop Potter or President Seth Low of the Colum- bit university will probably be called upon to act as an umpire in settling the difficulties which led to the lock out of the union bricklayers by the members of the mason builders asso- ciation.
 The Bricklayers' union accepted a proposition from the association to submit all the questions at issue to an arbitration board, to be composed of eight employers and eight jour- neymen, and if this board could not agree to submit the whole matter to an iQSelrtial outsider.
 The union selected eight men, who will meet the eight master builders to-day to discuss the situation. If they fail to agree an umpire will have to be selected, and many of the men favor either Bishop Potter or Seth Low.

Special Memorial Services Held at the
 Grace Methodist Church.
 Special services in the nature of ex- ercises in honor of Memorial day were held in the Grace Methodist church yesterday After the conclusion of Sunday school exercises were rendered by the Sunday school. Each number was of a patriotic nature, and they were rendered in such a stirring and admirable manner that the patriotic spirits of those present were raised 10 a high pitch. Every number had it's own special merits and was so good that it would be unjust to dis criminate by selecting any certain one or ones to bestow praise upon. The entire program was as follows: Cho- rus, America" school; paper, Origin and Significance of Memorial Day" H. 4. Tullar; reading, .'The Biue and the Grey" Miss Viola Davis; male quartet, Our Country" Messrs Buck, Tullar, Randall and Sherman; retita- tion, Sleep, Soldier, Sleep" William Judd; recitation, Memorial Day" Miss Ethel Edwards; chorus, "AIrer- ica," school. In the evening at 7:3U the church was crowded. An address was delivered by the pastor, Rev F. F. Moffit, on Memorial Day.' Many members of the G. A. R. and of the Sons of Veterans were present The address was of most interesting na- ture. Rev MT Moffit is an eloquent, forceful and logical speaker, and throughout his address last night he held the rapt attention Of his hearers.
 The Waterville team will play two games on Decoration day. In the morning they will meet the Naugatuck |. NJ c. A. on the local grounds, and in the afternoon the same teams will play in Naugatuck.

BRANDED A STUDENT.
John swartz Bound Hand and Foot
 by Fellow Scholars.

Rochester, May 27-Seized and bound and branded on the cheek was the experience of John Swartz, a stu dent in the Batavia High school. Those guilty of the brutal hazing were fel- low students of Swartz. Iodine and acid was applied to his cheek to form the figures "'O2," the year of the classmen guilty of the hazing.
 SwartZ was returning home from making a call, when he was seized suddenly from behind, and despite his struggles carried to a remote corner of the town, here he was securely tied to a stake. In the darkness he was unable to discover who his assailants were, but suspects that the classmen who did the deed were reinforced by several residents of the town. After remaining tied had and foot for half an hour another band of students ap- peared, and a brush was applied to his cheek dripping with a solution of io- dine and some form of acid. The acid ate it's way into his cheek. and the io- dine gave it bright yellow appear anee. After the painting operation was over Swartz was cut loose and ran for home. The pain was almost unbearable.
 Medical aid was called and every thing possible done to relieve his suf- ferings. It is impossible to tell wheth- CT the acid will leave it's mark or not, but the chances are that Swartz will always bear scars on his cheeks to remind him of his experience.
 An investigation is being made to discover the authors of the hazing. and 1t will go hard with them if caught. as the usually quiet little town is terribly aroused over the deed Another member of the gradu- ating class was Kidnapped two days ago and kept confined for 24 hours. Ii is thought the same students who branded Swartz were guilty of the Kidnapping.

Interesting Records Received at the
War Department..

Interesting Records Received at the
War Department..
More interesting records of cOurt-martial
trials in the Philippines We're received at
the War Department this morning.
Sia Sc Co, a Chinaman was tried on a
charge of murder, and sentenced to In
prisonment at hard labor for life STA Sc
Co entered the house of Sia Chui Gao. an
other Chinaman, and requested a loan.
When it was refused him he drew a knife
and stabbed Sia Chui Gao to death. AT
his trial he claimed that the killing was
justifiable.
Pasquinto de Leon, a native, employed as
a scout by the United States forces on the
Island of Masbate, was tried on charges of
murder and violation of the laws of war.
Pasquinto was shown to have killed ma
tive with no apparent Justification for the
act, and also to have aided the insurgent
cause by sending ammunition and letters
containing valuable information to the rebel
army he was SENTENCED to be hanged.
Two insurgent lieutenants ordered their
soldiers to capture and kill native named
Carlos, whom they suspected of being an
American spy, and the soldiers promptly
executed the order. A military commission
sentenced the lieutenants to be hanged,
but, upon the recommendation of the COM
mander of the Department OF Northern Lu-
zon, General Chaffee conlmuted the SEN
tences to life imprisonment.
Nicolas Herrero, native, was tried for
the murder of an ex-police, captain named
De Lara. In reviewing the case, General
Chaffee, while stating that the evidence in
the case established the guilt of the ac-
cused beyond a reasonable doubt, and that
he believed the ends of justice called for
the execution of the sentence of death im-
posed decided that he would, upon the
recommendation of the convening authority,
commute the sentence to imprisonment at
hard labor for ten years.

CAPT. HALLS CASE.
ConEer Preferred No Charges
Against the Officer.

Acting Secretary Hackett recently wrote
a letter to Captain N. H Hall of the Ma
rine Corps in regard to the published criti-
cisms of that officers conduct while in
temporary command of the marine guard at
the siege of Pekin, in which he said:
'The department is in receipt of your
communication of the 4th ultimo. In which
you refer to the numerous articles which
have appeared from time to time during
the past year in the various newspapers
and service papers, stating that Mrs Conger
had preferred charges of cowardiceagainst
me and quoting the Navy Department as
their authority for the article In question.
and request the department to forward
those charges to you'if any such were ever
made, and you ask, in case the newspaper
articles in question are not founded on
fact that the department will correct the
false statements that have appeared in the
different papers.
I'm reply I have to inform you that the
department has never received any COM
munication from Minister Conger upon the
subject of your conduct during the siege
of the legations at Pekin, and has no knowl-
edge of any action taken by him in regard
thereto, or of his views in the matter, eX-
cept as derived from the papers in evidence
before the court of inquiry, which was con-
vened at Cavite, P. l., in March last for in
vestigation of the entire matter. All the
papers in the case on the department files
were forwarded to the court at that time
and no others have since been received; so
that, as you were present during the in
vestigation above mentioned, 1t is presumed
that you are conversant with all the facts,
charges and allegations connected with this
subject that have at any time come to
the knowledge of the department.
1T is perhaps unnecessary to add that
the department has never in any way au-
thorized the statements referred to in your
communication
You are at liberty to give such publicity
to this communication as you may desire"
