Everything Lovely.

The Commencement exercises at the
University at Morgantown mark the
end of another year in the history of
this institution. The past year has
been one OF most successful, and, with
a single exception, which was trifiing
there have been no internal dissen-
Siens or jealousies to disturb or en-
barrass the progress Of the school.
The year speaks well for the manage
ment and shows that it is satisfactory
to both the patronage and the state.
With the continuance of prevalent
conditions 1t is on the road to greater
success and nothing should be permit

GOV. WHITE
Has Gone to Shepherdstown TO lnyes-
tigatc Trouble In Shcl herd College.


tigate Trouble In Shel herd College.
Gov. A. B. White has gone to
Shepherdstown where he will investi-
gate the trouble which has arisen In
Shepherd College. Everything is re-
ported as quiet at that place but the
recent events will be thoroughly inves-
tigated.
Speaking of the trouble the Grafton
Sentinel has the following to say:
Prof. Goodwin has left Shepherds
town, and as 1t was his intention stat
ed last fall to make this his closing
term al Shepherdtown Normal to en-
ter upon the practice Of law at some
other point In the State and as the
scandal has In no wise has injured him
1t will In all probability elbow over''
after the usual nine days talk is In
dulged in. Miss Wingate, it will also
be noted, has taken her departure
from the school, and as the inyestiga-
ton to be made by the Governor ought
to once and for all settle the troubles
that have prevailed, it may be sangu-
inely expected that the event that has
so roughly disturbed the eQuanimity
Of staid old Shepherdstown is even
now at an end, and that the residents
of that ancient city, who kicked
against the noise that the coming OF q
railroad would make, may now once
more settle down to hundred years
or SO OF undisturbance, peace and
rest.

of University.
The closing recital of the School
OF Music Faculty at Commence
ment Hall last night was undoubted-
ly the greatest musical event that
has ever occurred in Morgantown.
1t was nothing less than a brilliant
triumph for those who took part,
and there was 10 one in the large
audience Of over l,200 persons who
was not stirred with enthusiasm for
West Virginia's magnificent school
of music and thrilled with pride in
the ARTISTS who are rapidly gaining
for it high place in the music
world.
Commencement Hall was filled to
overlooking. There was not va
cant seat in the hall, and many peo-
pie stood during part of the pro.
gram. Many who came late were
turned away, and wished they had
taken DIR. Purinton's caution about
being on time more seriously at
heart.
The appearance of Miss Russell
McMurphy was the occasion of one
of the most fattering demonstra-
tions Commencement Hall has ever
witnessed. She has been the prime
favorite of Morgantown music low
ers ever since her first appearance
here, nearly six years ago, on the oc
casion of DIR. Jerome Hall Raymond's
inauguration. She was greeted then
with clapping of hands, waving of
colors, enthusiastic cheers and show
srs of bouquets. The popular favor
accorded to her at that time has
never abated one iota, and at her last
appearance she was as heartily re-
ceived as at her first.
Mr.. John Porter Lawrence and Mr.
Anton Capar, both celebrities ia the
world of music, were received with
enthusiasm. They are artists of ma
tional reputation, and the audience
evidently opportunity in hearing
them.
Mr. Walter Mestrezat's rendition of
the .Fantane Brilliant by Arbens,
a cornet solo, brought down the house.
He was compelled to return to the
stage three or four times. The pro-
gram containing the words mo en-
cores, but the audience were deter
mined the rule should not hold in his
CAGE.
Dean Wrightson was at his best,
and his singing was applauded to the
echo. Mrs. Gordon, Mrs. Snee, Miss
Crumrine, Miss Foster Miss Bray and
Mr.. Spence all delighted those who
heard them.
DR.. Haworth, whose opinion of such
matters is of considerable value, put
ting it in practical sort of way said.
''Seats atsuch a concert are worth S. 90

grand opera and feel no jar. 1t was
The best recital ever given in West
Virginia. Mr.. John Porter Lawrencer
said II never played before a better

form Excellence.
Miss Daisy Belle John VINO rep.
resented this university so well that
most people thought she should have
been given the decision in the Cen.
trail Oratorical League contest, gave
her graduating recital in Commence
ment Hall yesterday afternoon. Miss
John recited Shakespeare's delight
full comedy, Twelfth Night. A fair
audience thoroughly enjoyed the
reading.
The occasion was certainly an ex-
ceptional one. 1t Is within the
truth to say that no better reading
has ever been given In Morgantown,
except by Mr.. Riddle and Mr.. Pow
ers, and e9en in those cases the
reading was not more enjoyable.
That a student in the University
should show such keen powers of
conception, such fineness of Judge
ment in artistic effects, such finish
ed skill in presentation IS remark
able. Tender and humorous pas
sages seemed tosbe equally easy in
Miss Johns hands.
The hoisterous hnmor of Old Sir
Toby Belch, and the quantity Silly
Sir Andrew Aguecheek formed an ir
reslstable merry making group. Miss
John was best perhaps IN Ma r9lio,
Maria and Sir Andrew, whom she
seemed to catch perfectly. AS Vic
la she was constantly charming, and
IN her hands Olivia becomes much
more Prominent as well as more wo-
manly than she is usually presented.
On the whole the reading was a
rare treat, and worthy close to a
bright career is a student in elocu-
ton. The training shown in the
League contest, in the wholly exeep-
tional presentation of She Stops to
Conquer, and in this recital was not
surpassed in any school in the eoun-
try. As this marks the close of
Prof. Pstterson's work in eloeution,
it is timely to note the uniform ex-
eellenee of every production by this
department. Modestly and yet i'm
pressively the very highest work has
been steadily myintained throughout
his whole connection with the
school.

INCREASE IN TRAFFIC.
Report Relative to Conditions Along
M Street, Georgetown.

Complaint has been made to the Com
missioners relative to conditions along M
street in Georgetown. Police Lieutenant
Swindells has submitted a report in which
he states. that the congested condition of
this thoroughfare will continue as time goes
on. Persons living beyond Georgetown
complain that the street Is so congested in
the morning hours that they have great
difficulty getting into the city without en-
dangering their vehicles and lives The in
formation was that store keepers and not
the farm people were allowed to back their
wagons to the curb the heads of the horses
reaching the car tracks.
Lieutenant Swindells reported that the
delivery wagons of the merchants back up
to the curbs and the large ones can be
turned up or down the street. but some
times the drivers neglect it.
Some wagons cannot be SO turned The
horses OF the engine company are exer-
cfsed daily on M street near the fire en-
gtne house. Upon returning from a fire
1t is the practice of the company to stretch
their hose along the sidewalk next to the
curb In front of the house. He says there
has been an increase Of heavy traffic over
the street since the location of freight
depot by the Pennsylvania railroad near the
south end of the Aqueduct bridge in Ross
lyn. Va, and Fort Myer and Arlington
Heights have become popular drives for
owners of fine teams and other pleasure
seekers, and in consequence many more
vehicles pass through M street than for
mally.
1.-The situation" says Lieut.. Swindells
could be materially improved and the con-
gestion relieved by opening Prospect ave-
nue., P, Q and other streets at the west
end of the town so as to lead out into the
country. thus diverting from M street a
great deal Of through travel. Something
Of this kind will eventually have to be done
to accommodate the travel and traffic. In
the meantime greater number of officers
on that street would help matters, but at
present, with the number I have 1 cannot
place them there without neglecting other
interests just as important as those ON NJ
street"
This report has been forwarded to the
Commissioners,
