GRADUATING EXERCISES.
Diplomas and Medals Awarded at
Ralston University Of Expression.

The commencement and graduating exer-
cIses Of the three months course In general
culture of the Ralston University of Elk
preston were held last night In the unfver-
sity building on G street before an at
tendance that completely filled the hail.
The program was an interesting one and
the original numbers, such as the saluta-
tory, by Miss Mai Lee Emlen; the class
history, by Charles Alvin Smith; the class
poem, by John c. Bowers, and the valedic-
tory, by John B. Strasburger, were COM
. mendable efforts and far beyond the ordl-
nary productions of their kind. This is par
ticularly true of the class history and the
valedictory, the former containing many
bright and witty hits upon the personality
being filled with high thoughts and excel
lent advice to his classmates. Besides
these there were a number OF recltatlons
and scenes from plays most OF which were
scenes was one, the statue scene from
"Pygmalion and Galatea, which was Wen
interpreted by Valentine 4, Tustln, Louise
NJ Zehndner and Anna 1. Henion.
Diplomas were awarded to the graduates
by the president of the university, Webster
Edgerly, who made an excellent address to
the ladies and gentlemen OF the graduating
class, complimenting them Tor their dlll,
gence and industry during the course ana
giving them some sound advice as to their
future careers. Most of the ladies were
the recipients Of many beautiful noral trlp-
utes as they received their diplomas A
handsome silver loving cup was presented
to President and Mrs. Edgerly on behalf
of the graduating class. the address being
made by Charles Alvin Smith. President
Edgerly made feeling response. expressing
his qualification at the testimonial. Six
gold medals were then awarded to the sue
cessful competitors in the exhibition which
took place last Thursday evening. These
medals were awarded by the referee at that
contest, DR.. Franklin T. Howe, who spoke
briefly Of the pleasure 1t gave him Of max
ing the awards. and as the medals were
given to each Of the successful contestants
few graceful words OF compliment were
paid Those receiving the medals were!

PERSONAL TAX BILL
Measure Reintrodueed by
Senator Mcmillan.
REVENUE OF A MILLION
FOLLOWING DISTRICT COMMITS
SIoNERS' RECOMMENDATIONS.
May Receive Further Changes Before
the District Committee Makes
Favorable Report Upon It.

Senator Mcmillan, chairman of the Sem
ate committee on the District of Columbia,
today reintroduced the personal tax bill
which has been considered by his commit
tee, in order to place it before the commit
tee, with numerous changes that have been
made from time to time. AS introduced
today the bill very nearly conforms to the
purposes of the District committee, though
it may receive further changes before the
committee makes a favorable report on it
to the Senate. In it's present form the
measure is greatly changed from bills
which have been approved by the Commits
sioners and by the assessor of the District.
While no exact estimate can be made as to
the amount of taxes that this bill will raise,
in general way it is believed that it will
add to the revenue of the District million
or million and half dollars. The bill in
its present form directs the Commissioners
to appoint, to take effect July l. 1902, two
persons at $1,000 each, who with the as
SCISSOR of the District as chairman, shall
compose the board of personal tax apprais-
ers for the District. These appraisers must
have been bona fide residents of the District
for at least five years prior to the date of
their appointment.
