St. Joseph's Academy Exercises.

The young ladies of St. Joseph's academy excelled all efforts of pre- vious years in their exercises last evening at the opera house. No prettier decoration ever appeared on any stage than the Stars and Stripes, with tiny electric lights in each star of the blue, and all through each red stripe; this was suspended from the ceiling of the stage; this, with palms, roses, two pianos, and other pretty furniture, the stage presented very pretty appearance.
 There were several piano duetts by the young ladies, which showed care ful training from the Sisters of St Joseph.
 The Gypsy Fantasy, Sacred Tab leau and Aesthetic Drill and Poses, were very pretty, and elicited pro- louged appla use from the audience Right here, let lfs say, the house was literally packed with people. Miss Norma Fernwalt in her recitation of The Madonna of Palos' was simply fine; Mir. Tom Ryan of Tucson ia vored the audience with a solo; he Is possessed of a very beautiful deep bass voice. The event of the evening was theconferring of graduation hon. ors and diplomas upon the two young lady graduates, also the young ladies in the grammar department; Miss Cora Belle Thomas and Miss Anna Isabelle Burke, were the graduates ot the year; "Sculptors of Life Are We as We Stand with Our Souls Un- carved Before Us" was the essay by Miss Thomas; the valedictorv Launched, but Whittier Bound, by Miss Burke; study and careful train ing was shown in both essay anc vaIedictory; the young ladies looked very lovely in their white gowns trimmed with white satin, and wheI kneeling, Father Piez crowning then with the laurel and presenting thei diplomas, they looked lovelier thai ever. The Reverend Father theI presented diplomas to those most pro | iicient in music and other arts, anC gave a very pretty address to tn young ladies. Judge R. E. Morri son. as usual, in his most happl style. gave a short talk to the youn2 ladies. Miss Thomas and Nils Burke were literally loaded dow with flowers and presents; severa people had to offer their assistanc in carrying their flowers and pre- ents. The class colors were rose an' gray. The orchestra, composed O Miss Etta Dewitt and NIT. Ernes Emmanuel, did some very good work particularly in the Graduates 'Seren ade, Rose and Gray"
 The drama, Kathleen; or, the Cos of a Promise, was very well playe' by number of young ladies, Nils Thomas and Miss Burke taking tn principal characters.
