| and serio-comic utterances of the actor
causing continual uproar on the part O
their hearers The question was elo
quently argued on both sides, but thu
decision was adverse to awarding sucl
a privilege to women, the winners con
tending that as women had SO far in
I fringed on the rights of man as to leav,
| him only the ballot box and the privil
ege of dressing in coat and pants, III
should keep these inviolate from the In
trusions of his better half as long as
possible. 1t was with sadness the fact
was noted that in Chicago and some
other cities women had already infring-
ed on the domain of their husbands
wearing apparel, and in such costume
wheeled along on their bikes while the
| husbands with apron on, rolled the ba-
by carriage at respectable distance
behind No special mention need be
made of the acting of any of the indi-
vidual participants, except that all ac-
quilted themselves in a manner that
i! did honor to their own talents and rem
dered credit to Brother Junian, whose
Iduty it was to train them.
| The second part Of the program was
introduced by a Hornpipe Polka, execu-
| ted stirringly and intelligently by the
college orchestra under the able leader
ship of Rev Brother Fabian, who for
many years has most successfully sup
erintended the department of music,
and who brings to his craft that eff1-
cheney which arises only from perfect
training and experience.
Masters J. Doyle, F. Connor, and G.
Abbott next handled the rather difficult
decamations "The Geography Demon, y
"The Invisible Heroes" and "Alexal-
der Tanning Bucephalus," in manner
that showed them to be more than mere
novices in the art. Their intelligent
renditions We're greatly enhanced by
their graceful and appropriate gestures,
and distinct enunciation.
B. Lund came next with ''The Lost
Colors," and his calmness and success
showed that he was by no means lost
in his difficult recitation. This young
mans pronunciation is highly credita-
ble and proves him a master Of Eng
lish phonetics.
The program next presented farce
of the most comical nature, entitled
"Wanted: A Confidential Clerk Mr..
Dobbs, who had the misfortune of ad-
vertising his need was soon waited up
on by such a motley crowd Of Germans,
Irishmen, dudes, drunkards, and other
applicants as almost drove him out of
his wits and his office. He found great
difficulty in ridding himself of his call
ers, most of whom were loquacious and
! impudent, and when, finally, he did
light on one to his liking, the first act
, of the careless brat was to set fire to
the most valuable papers of his en-
ployer. This farce was one of the best
things of the evening, and was highly
appreciated and enjoyed by the au-
dience.
Sidney Hubbell maintained his pres
tige as a comical reciter by his humor-
Gus rendition of "Burdock's Music
Box" of .t..
| Next came the march known as the
Chicago Evening Post" rendered by
the orchestra, and which proved as
breezy and entertaining as things from
the "Windy City usually are.
The declamations 1.-The Gladiator
and "How He Saved st. Michaels s
Church" proved fitting close to the
oratory of the evening, and were among
the best rendered on the program. The
declaimers We're A. Weller, and G.
Knapp.
Sidney Hubbell next favored the au-
dience with violin solo, executed with
proficiency and technique seldom
found in learners. This, with the cornet
solo of J. Martinez, was among the best
and most entertaining music of the ev-
! ening.
The mandolin solo of M. Norte, also
deserves more than passing mention.
His execution drew forth applause ana
encores. Immediately after the compile
, tion of the program the president of the
college, Rev. Brother Botulph, proceed
ed to the distribution of medals. These
were awarded as follows: Francisco
| Chaves, gold watch, for proficiency In
book keeping; a gold medal to Jose
Mirabel, for first in standing In the
junior division of the senior class. A
gold medal to Jose Martinez, for first
standing second division. In addition
to the above awards to members of the
senior class the following prizes were
distributed: A gold medal to r. Mira.
bel, and one to P. Gonzales, for deport-
ment. In addition to these, another
