THE FRIENDS SCHOOL
At Providence, r. l., Holds Its 135th
Commencement Exercises.

Providence, r. l., June 23.-The 135tt
commencement exercises were held al
Friends school here, today, in the pres
ence of a committee of Society OF
Friends, the trustees members of the
faculty and invited guests, including
Mayor Miller of this city, Gov. L. f. c.
Garvin, Peter McNeal, former mayor
of Lynn. Mass; w. o. Newhall, Lynn
G. M. Bailey, Daniel C. Maxfield and
L. H. Hussey of Maine.
After the customary musical and lit
erary program, ana the awarding OF
the diplomas, an address was delivered
by Gov. Garvin.
In referring to the subject of a re-
cent magazine article in which GOV.
Garvin charged district court judge
of this state, whose name has not been
given out, with bribery, the speaker
said: Il would like at this time to state
my position on the subject of bribery.
Although man of peace, l find tnat l
am in the midst of a storm of criticism.
"A few months ago l sent a message
to the Assembly asking for the appoint
mcnt of a commissioner to suppress
bribery, which is undermining our form
of government. l did not contemplate
going back and bringing anyone before
the bar of public opinion or prosecuting
anyone. I proposed to provide for the
suppression of bribery in the future.
Since then an article has been pub
lished from my pen, charging an official
with bribery and have been called on
to name him. But there are others on
the same footing, and it would be abso-
lutely wrong to single out one person
and hold him up before the state. never
for n moment have l thought of doing
it. There is a drift toward the settle
ment of disputes by violence and every
one who uses his influence for peace is
doing a great service for mankind.
DR.. Benjamin F. TruebloOd of Bos-
ton, also spoke upon the subject "Ath-
lcticS."

| the Commonwealth, makes his annual
review of the state troops. Before the

distances We're well kept.

with their respective staffs, made a
tour of inspection of quarters, and

THE COTTON MARKET.
An Upward FURRY Caused Excitement
and Uncasiness North and South.

New York, June 23-One of the most
exciting and spectacular uptums of the
season in the cotton market occurred
right after midday. The weekly crop re-
port from Washington had just been read
and received bearish Interpretation re-
siIting in moderate declines. But almost.
Immediately buying orders We're received
here from New Orleans and July was
rushed up to 12.15, Aug. 1928 and Sept. to
l1."9 all of these prices being new high
records for the season. The new crop pO-
'itions Responded only partially to the
strength in the months said to be con-
trOlled by the bull pool.
Tremendous as was the excitement To-
cally, it was even surpassed in New Or
lcans where shorts were reported clam
Oring for July cotton around II cents
and August at 1915, with but little offer
ings even at these prices, and it took
but n very slight show of strength ON the
part Of the bull leaders here to utterly
demoralize the bears. All through the
afternoon there was q wild, unreasoning
rush to cover, under which July reach
ed 12.90, August 12.56 and September Lab
The final tone was firm. The total sales
were estimated at 100000 bales.

, STRIKE MAY SPREAD.
Paper Mill Trouble Possibly May
Extend to Other Places.

Sandy Hill, N. Y, June 23-The
strike in the International paper mill
at Fort Edward, may involve mills in
Glcns Falls, Maine, and Vermont.
One hundred laborers demand an in
crease of wages. They were getting
pay for II hours while working 10. Last
week, they were paid for 10 hours but
demanded the old wages, which were
refused. Subsequently the company
agreed to pay for the extra hour but
that was refused by the men, who
asked an advance from ~, Is and 161a
cents per hour to 20 cents. This was re-
fused by Supt. Parent, who posted a
notice that the mill would close imme-
diatey unless the men returned. 1t is
expected that the employees in other
mills will go out.
This morning, the men employed in
side the mills of the Union Bag and
Paper Co. here demanded increased
pay. The demand includes pulp, sui
phite and paper mill workers, but not
machine tenders or back tenders. The
demand is that those receiving less than
16b per hour shall receive 16b and
that those getting 161a shall be ad-
vanced to 1871 cents.
NJ. o. Kasson, the superintendent was
given until June &c to comply. The
same demand was made of the Allen
Bros. Cos. wall paper mill.

RISK OF ALCOHOL

Liquid Kidney Remedies A.

Kidney Mort tablets Only Safe

1t is no longer 4 secret that alcohol
enters largely into liquid kidney rem

scrupulous proprietors of prepared
liquid kidney remedies have been I'M
able keep this TACT any longer from the
public.
The result is, fewer and fewer well
informed men and women are willing
to carry such liquid remedies into their
homes. Every one knows that when
the kidneys are perfectly well alcohol
affects them more than any other part
of the body, but when diseased, alcohol
tears them to pieces. DR.. Pettingill's
Kidney-Wort Tablets, true kidney
specific, free from alcohol, has taken
the place Of all liquid kidney remedies,
and thousands of sick people who were
losing ground while taking the old
fashioned liquid kidney remedies are
today entirely free from disease. The
demand for DR.. Pettingills Kidney
Wort Tablets has jumped to enormous
proportions since the attention of
everybody has been brought to the
danger of alcohol in kidney diseases.
The Tablets quickly cure rheuma-
tism by making the kidney healthy.
alcohol they cure permanently, and
the recurrence of the trouble that
usually follows as an after-effect of the
alcohol contained in liquid kidney rem
edieS need never be feared. When the
kidneys are healthy they strain the uric
acid from the blood; but when I'M
healthy the acid is deposited in minute
crystals in the muscles and cause rheu-
matte pains. Kidney-Wor Tablets en-
able the kidneys to pass off the acid
that is clogging their healthy action,
and which will form into "stone" if not
excreted.
If you are exposed to any of the ex-
listing causes of kidney trouble look out
for these and other symptoms: Pains
in the loins and back, tired feelings,
nervousness, bladder weakness, general
weakness, arrangement of digestion,
frequent desire to pass water, reddish
or dark sediment in urine. One bottle
of kidneyWort Tablets will snatch
you from danger and will in a very
short time cure you permanently of

PEARY Is READY
To Make One More Attempt
to Reach North Pole.
Says It Can Be Done--United States
Should Have Honor.
A Mere Trifle of $4,000 Would Pay
All the Bills.

Saratoga, June 22.-Commander Rob-
ert e. Peary, U. S. NJ, who is here as
the guest of the Saratoga Limited Club,
in speaking of Arctic exploration,
made this statement:
1T is true that announcement was
made that my work in the North was
done. l thought it was, because / saw
no prospect of the provision of enough
funds to equip another expedition and
carry through it's work. l don't know
of anybody who wants to provide the
money, but I will say this: If the
money should be raised, and if l should
be asked to command the expedition, 1
would accept the invitation. The pole
can be reached, and l would be glad to
make another attempt.
''Thc questions that any person or
organization thinking of equipping an
expedition must ask are these: Can it
be done? Is it worth while? What will
it cost? My three-fold answer to these
questions is: 1t is perfectly possible to
reach the pole, of that I am certain.
1t is worth while for the United States
to reach it for many reasons. In the
first place it is the last geographical
prize in this world yet to be won.
1.-THE value to science would be great,
and, Furthermore, there is prestige and
honor for the nation whose representa-
tives make the discovery. There was
honor for Spain for all the ages when
Columbus discovered America. There
will be honor for all the ages for the
country whose explorer gives to the
world the first knowledge of the pole
and the conditions prevailing in that
great area of ice of which it is the CEN
ter.
The expenditure of $15O0OO will
make it possible for our own land to
win this prize. That is small. sum as
dollars are reckoned in these days, and
If any person or organization will pro-
vide the money, and it is so desired, 1
will command the expedition, and make
one more attempt to reach the pole. 1
am confident of success

Wilmington. Del, June 23.-The
question asked on all sides here, today,
is whether the authorities will take ac-
ton looking toward the arrest and pun
ishment of those who We're prominent
in the lynching of George White, early
this morning. Many of them are known.
1t is also known that the arrangements
for the lynching were talked of in ad-
vance and that men were invited to
participate and given notice of when
and where to assemble. Word that the
lynching was to occur, last night, was
circulated around Wilmington, yester-
day.
1t is fact that the public sentiment
so generally approves of the lynching
that it will be hard to secure a con-
viction even if arrests are made.
Judge Grub of the county court, to-
day, made public a statement in which
he deplores the lynching of White and
its consequent reflection upon the good
name of Delaware. The judge also ex-
plained the action of the court in refus-
ing to call a special session of the grand
Jury for the indictment of Miss Bishops
