Delivered Address to Graduating Class
 at St Paul, NIinn.
 St Paul, Minn, June 25.-Archbishop Ireland ill his adGress to the graduat- ing class of St Joseph's college said in part:
 "One of the great evils of the present time is that women in so-called high society are coming to regard with more and more federation breaches of moral and civic laws committed by members of their own sex. In our hur- ried modern life, when men are devot- ing themselves almost entirely to things material, women should pre- serve the moral and spiritual side of existence If they do not, the world may well fear"
 The great fault of American educa- ton, the archbishop said, was lack of seriousness. There was no depth of thought, no consistency of principles. An intellectual 1evity pervaded society. America, he thought, was decidedly in- ferior to other countries in intellectual culture.
 q believe in the intellectual wo- man," continued the speaker. While woman's enterest should be primarily in the home, yet there is no reason why it should be confined there. It is folly to belittle woman's influence to-day, for it is widespread and it is power wherever 1t extends"

The admirable work of the young ladies who participated in the panto- mime at the convent last evening was a noble testimonial of the character of the teaching of Miss Marie G. McDon- nell, instructor of elocution and physi- cal culture. The manner in which the young ladies carried themselves, the grace and charm of their various poses, the clear and distinct tone which marked their speech, all com hined to show the thoroughness of the training which the young ladies had received from Miss Mcdonnell, who. though she has been in this city but a short time, has gained for herself an enviable reputation as an instructor of elocution and physical culture.
 Premiums of valuable nature, being beautifully finished works of art, were contributed by the Rev Fathers Slocum, McGuane, O'Brien and Brod- erick, and were awarded as follows:

CONCERT AT ST PAUL's.
Given by High School Glee Club Un-
 dor nirantian of NIiso naa


 der Direction of Miss Dee.
 The closing concert nf the High school at St Paufs a E. church last night was, judged by the large num- Der who had the pleasure of hearing it, as the best rendered by this famous school organization this season. As usual, the club was under the direction of Miss Nellie Dee, to whose sole eff forts it might be said the high stand ing of the High school glee club is due. Miss Winnifred Ward was as pleasing as ever as a lreciter Her praises have been written so often that it would be foolish to repeat them. The recitations whchF she gave last night and which were so pleasing were The Street Arab and .eThe Ride of Jennie McNeil" HerbertlM. Burns rendered De Koven's song, 1T Love Thee So'' in a manner which elicited a continued applause. This young man possesses a rich voice. Miss May Stanley again proved her ability as violinist of the first quality This young lady gives promise of becoming a player of vast renown. The follow ing selections were rendered by the entire glee club: Bridal Chorus,'' Football Chorus and "The Old Guard" while Evening Shadowsi' was sung by chorus of girls and the "Voyagers' by chorus of boys and girls. The mandolin club rendered I'll Trovatore" in a meritorious manner. The work of the chorus last night was beautiful to hear and well deserved the great applause which it received. Much credit is due to Miss Kittie Der gen, the accompanist. Her time was stea9y and she gave fine support to the chorus. At the close of the con- cert the club was congratulated upon the success of its entertainment by Rev B. D. Bassett, pastor of the church.

POLICE COURT DoINGs
Fined Seven Dollars and Costs for
 Theft of $S.

Theft of $9.
 Michael Brennan of South Leonard street can claim the distinction of hay ing paid more for a scuttle of coal than any other person in the city. In the city court to-day Brennan was charged with stealing 1000 pounds of coal from car on the Highland division. Elmer Weirs an employe of the company tes- tified to the alleged theft. Brennan and his father denied taking 1000 pounds of the fuel but admitted talk ing one scuttle. They said that car of coal broke down on the road near the Meriden junction and about one ton fell down the embankment. In q short time the coal, all but one scuttle had disappeared in bags and other conyeyances. Brennan was fined $1 and costs for the scuttle he had talk en, which meant $13.16 for him to pay.
 Edward Laurencelle, a carpenter, went into John Casey's saloon on Washington avenue last night to buy a drink of beer. The till was open and he saw eight dollars in bills temptingly near his hand. He | money. Mrs Casey saw the man run from behind the bar and, thinking he was making away with her $500 which was in a pocketbook in the till she screamed and her husband ran after the fellow. Officer Hayes had him when Casey came up and the latter charged the man with theft of $500. Investigation, however, showed the pocketbook containing the $500 was safe and that $8 Were gone. Lauren scelle could not account for his taking the money except that he yielded to q passing temptation. He was fined $7 and costs.
 Morris Waas, cigar dealer on Ex- change place denied he was guilty of breach of the peace. Chester Goodwin of 35S West Main street and Frank Bryan, 45 Center street stated that they were standing outside Waas' ci- gar store window Saturday evening when Waas asked them to move orr, claiming they were obstructing the view to his window. The men declined to move and one of them made refer ence to Waas' nationality in an offen- sive manner. Thereupon Waas' called them a name. In his defense Waas said he has complained to the police about this annoyance of men obstruct- ing the view of his window. The court said that excepting the name Waas applied to the men he was to be commended and if anyone should be punished, it was the witnesses. Waas was accordingly discharged.
 The case against Joseph Jepson alias Hyslop for obtaining money under false pretences from several we'll known citizens was again continued on account of the absence of an inn portant witness. Daniel Harrington was fined $5 and costs for resisting ar rest. There was a charge of fast driv- ing and intoxication against him also but on account of his good reputation and the circumstances leading to his mfshap, sentence was suspended on them. Edward West who, yesterday was fined for intoxication and resisting arrest was given sixty days in which to pay his fine.

 SURPRISE IN SPRINGFIELD. D
 Springfield, Mass, June 25.-E. F. Chapin, president of the bank. said he could not understand why the author lties had closed the bank. He had re- eeived no report or intimation of any thing of the kind; the news came as a thunderclap out of a clear sky. He had not heard of the E. B. Stebbins Manu- facturing company's assignment. and said it could be connected in no way with the failure of the bank. since the company had done no business what ever with the bank.
 lie had supposed that Examiner Cum ningham had left the city at the con. clusion of his examination Friday night He said that nothing more than constructive loss could be figured on the bonds of the American Writing Pa Der company held by the bank. There would be no actual loss. He was cer- tain that no depositori would lose a cent. 8
 George k. Bond, cashier of the bank since 1889, had not heard the report of the banks failure, and was as much at loss to understand it as Mr Chapin had been. He was certain that no depositor would lose any money by the failure. The excessive loans men toned in the news report were fully covered by securities, he said He was 1 confident that the writing paper bonds would return to their par value. The present depreciation in the stock he said was simply due to the depression of industrials. These bonds were taken by the bank at 95 and are now quoted at 721a. In addition the bank holds some stock of the Writing Paper com pany, taken by it for debts.
 H. c. Rowley. one of the directors of the bank, was told the report of the banks failure. He said he did not be- lieye word of it. He was down town at his place of business all the after noon, and in fact took lunch with MT Chapin at 1 o'clock and had anything like this been imminent he said he would certainly have been told of it.

 Matters. Merchants Interested.
DISCUSSED
 AT BOSTON CLUB.

One after another the merchants of Eastern cities are interesting themselves in the subject of Gov ernnent irrigation and Western reclamation. The merchants Club, of Boston, gave a banquet January 18th, and listened to talk by Frederick H. Newell and George H. Maxwell on this sub- feet. MT. Newell illustrated his remarks by stereop.icon views. He strongly advocated the adv1s- ability of Government construc- tion of great reservoirs in the arid regions to save the flood waters for irrigation. He show ed why this work has about reach ed it's limit under private nanag- ement, and that if the arid lands are to be reclaimed in a compre- hensive manner 1t must be thru governmental action.
 MT. Maxwell emphasized the gigantic character of this irriga- tion work, but called attention to the great benefit which the nation, as whole, would derive thru it's carrying out.
 The problem, however" he said, is it not going to solve it's self. You of the East must set tie it. Whatever IS to be done to people those vast regions with thousands and millions of pros porous home-builders, you of the East must do."
 MT. Maxwell reports that the commercial interests of Boston are much concerned in the subject, and are giving 1t their hearty support.

NEW MARKETS.

What would be the result of opening any one of the thousand valleys of the West which only await the building of great stor- age reservoirs and the utilization of the water saved to convert them into thriving communities of small rural homes? A thous- and farms would be quickly creat- ed. A thousand houses would go up, a thousand families would moave into them, and a thousand farms would want blows and wagons and machines and harness seS, while thousand housewives would want kitchen and house. hold utensils, and several thou sand people would want clothes and boots and shoes and hats and books and papers and fifty other articles. This demand instead of being supplied once only, would increase and go on perpet- ally. And the demand for these things would go to the producing East. This is why the rec1ama- tion of the West would help Mas ach usetts.

Washington, Feb. 5.-A pe- tition containing charges of a1leg- ed treason and bigamy was sub- mitted today to the house com mittee on, election No. 1, against Delegate Robert w. Wilcox, the Hawaiian representative Tn the house of representatives. The charges are made in writing by George D. Gear of Hawaii, who submitted letters purporting to be copies of letters written by Wilcox to Filipino officials.
 One of the letters said to be written by Wilcox is given in duplicate. It IS dated Honolulu, J an. 31, 1899, and addressed to Dr. Joseph Losada, Capt. Marti Burgos and Senor J. Luna, and introduced to them friend of mine who IS a very able man to help you in your cause" Among other things the letter says:
