fcers were elected for the ensuing

mira Marten, Mrs. d. II. Folk.
The exercises of the evening were
held in the College Hall at s o'clock,
and were opened with prayer by Rev.
Charles Ghiseliu, D. D. The orator
of the evening was Rev. E. L. Folk,
whose subject was Sure Enough
Men" He showed that in the world
of today there was large surplus of
make believe men -men who lacked
frmness and decision of character
Then he pointed out the need Of
manly men men who bad the
strength and foresight to decide what
course Of action was best, and then to
stand up for their convictions.
Interesting essays were read by
Miss Clara Greenwood, on the ODE
velopment Of the Drama and Mrs.
D. H. Folk, whose subject was Faded
Roses" The music Of the evening
was furnished by members Of the as
ISOLATION, and consisted of a solo,
Message of the Violets," by Miss
Alstadt, and a duet, Far Away" by
Miss Alstadt and Mr.. Edward H.
Spohn. The music was sweet and
much enjoyed by those present, as ev-
idenced by the hearty encores.
The most interesting feature by far
to the members Of the association was
the banquet and social gathering
which Immediately followed the pub
lie exercises. Notwithstanding the
fact that the rain and stormy evening
kept many away, including several
who We're to respond to toasts, the
meeting was pronounced success.
After the table had been relieved Of
its burden Of good things, responses to
toasts were made by Hon. H. w.
Harner, Hon. G. NJ. BeItzhoover,
Rev. Charles Ghiselin, Prof. J. D.
Muldoon and Mr.. E. R. Turner,
They all spoke on the subject of the
Alumni and It's duty to the school.
In clear, forcible way they pointed
out how the success or failure of any
school depended not so much on its
equipment or its location as on the
loyal support Of Its Alumni and the
citizens OF the community. The re-
union of 1908 was said by those pres
ent to have been one of the best in
the history Of the association.

IT is said that it is quite probable
that the Columbian government will
refuse TO ratify the treaty with the
United States under which the Pana
ma Canal may he built. This will be
sad news to many patriot who is
living in happy expectation Of the
rich pickings to. be had from the canal.
IT is said that Attorney-General
Knox will institute proceedings IN
the name Of the government against
the railroads and coal companies which
have combined to form that most out
rageous organization known as the
Coal Trust. The companies involved
refused to show to the Interstate
Commerce Commission their contracts
which would show up their relations,
and a federal Judge sustains them.
Now the Attorney-General it ia re-
ported, will try to get at them. 1t is
perhaps needless to predict that moth
ing will come of this movement, for
the bill Of Senator Elkins to restrain
trusts, passed by the last Congress, so
etfectually protects thsm that they
cannot be reached by the courts or in
any other way-except by an entire
change of administration.
incidentally it may be observed
that the objection of the companies to
letting the facts be known is pretty
strong hint as to what the facts are.
NEWSPAPER reports say that the
Rockeieller-Gould interests, which
can command an almost unlimited
amount Of capital, have combined TO
secure control OF the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroads.
1t Is asserted that they already have
enough B. & 0. stock to control that
great road, and that they will also
get hold Of the Pennsylvania. These
are days of surprising events in the
business world, and even this strange
thing may be true.
Another rumor, printed today, is
that the Wabash and the Pennsyl-
wanna railroad interests have gotten
together and settled their differences,
and that satisfactory traffic arrange
meLts will be made by which the Wa
bash can get an eastern outlet over
lines controlled by the Pennsylvania.
If this is true it will be great blow
to West Virginia, for all Of the pro-
posed lines in this State will be def
nitely abandoned 1t will also be
great disappointment to Baltimore,
for the Western Maryland Railroad
Will be turned over to the Pennsyl-
vania or Reading, and the hope of
competing road will vanish.

The most interesting exercises Of
commencement week to the friends
and patrons of Shepherd College are
the exerc ses of the graduating class,
which were held Monday morning at
10 o'clock. The graduates were sew
en- in number-Florence Egglestou
Licklider, Hattie Cease Barnhsrt, Lu
Gle Adele Beltzhoover, Msude Mere
dlth Gross, Henry Wood Thrasber,
Ernest Head Bitner and Josah Wes-
ley Gain. Six Of the class delivered
or2tions, the other member Of the
class, Mr.. Gam, having left to attend
the summer session of the West Vir-
ginia University. The orations were
thoughtful productions, well delivered,
and were a credit to those who de-
ivered them. The programme was
interspersed with music by the Shep-
herd College Orchestra, and was high
ly appreciated by the audience.
State Superintendent Miller then
presented the diplomas to the mem
bers of the graduating class. He
called to their minds the real mean,
ing Of commencement, and reminded
them Of their duty in after life. He
complimented them on the merit of
their productions, and said this alone
would have been sufficient proof that
they were deserving OF diplomas.
At the conclusion of this talk Re-
gent Robinson presented sold medals,
which had been offered for excellence
in certain features of school work.
Medals had been offered by Regent
Snyder for the best all-around student;
by Prof. Muldoon. for loyalty to duty;
and by Prof. Knutti for the best
drilled cadet. Regent Robinson called
to the stage those whom it had been
decided were to receive them. Frank
Myers was presented with the medal
for the best all-around student; Ethel
Walter with the medal for loyalty to
duty and E. A. Kaech with the med
al for the best-drilled cadet. Mr..
Robinson congratulated the winners
amid the applause of their FELLOWSHIP
dents.
Interesting talks were then made
by State Superintendent Miller, and
Regents Robinson and Straus. They
complimented the people Of this COM
munity upon the interest manifested
in the school, and urged them to even
greater interest and loyalty to the
school, as through the medium Of
schools are the lives of their sons and
daughters and those who are to make
the future of our country to be devel-
oped.
TIE graduates received many and
beautiful presents and were the SUBJ
ject Of the congratulations and best
wishes of their friends.

If the REGISTER attempted to COR
rect all the false statements about
Shepherdstown and Shepherdstown
people that have been printed during
the past few weeks it would have
work for a year. And while we could
not attempt this, We will take the lib
erty of suggesting to our neighbor Of
the Martinsburg World that it is be-
ing imposed upon rather badly. The
World of yesterday had an article on
the trouble in this town which is so
far from the facts as to be simply ri
diculous. The statement is made that
the Board of Regents indicated
Goodwin. The board did no such
thing. The correspondent also says
that the members of the Board asked
Goodwin to come back next year and
earnestly requested him not to resign.
The writer Of this article was present
at tie meeting Of the Board the en-
tire time. We saw no one weeping
for Goodwin's return; no one earnest
~ entreated him to stay; no one on
Bonded knee asked for a continuation
of his services; in fact, so far as we
know and believe, nobody in author
ity asked him or wants him in school
work in this State. This may be uu-
pleasant news to the few persons who
have such strong fellow-feeling for
Goodwin, but we are confident it is
true.

which resulted in a victory for Ha-
gerstown by the score of 4 to 0. Our
boys played well in the field, but were
weak in batting. This was the most
interesting game played this season.
The college team has played three
games this season and this is the first
one they have lost.

Sunday night the annual sermon to
the graduating class was delivered by
Rev. r. a. Boyle, Of Hsgerstown,
Nd, whose earnestness and eloquence
deeply impressed his large audience.
He gave to the class some excellent
advice intended to help them on their
voyage through life and exhorted them
to seek lofty ideal. The various
ministers of the town occupied seats
on the stage and took part in the de-
votlonsl exercises. Miss Alstadt sang
very sweetly the The Homeland. "

The college team has played three
games this season and this is the first
one they have lost.
On Saturday night the annual con-
test between the Parthenian and Cic-
eronian Literary Societies was held.
The hall was taxed to its utmost ca
pacity, and many who were a little late
were turned away. This contest was
instituted as a stimulus for the socie-
ties to do better work, and it has sue
ceeded admirably. Each year better
work has resulted, and this years con-
test surpassed all others in point Of
merit and interest.
The question for debate, Resolved,
THAT the expansion of the U. S. Navy
will be productive of more harm than
good to the country" was ably up
held on both sides-the affirmative by
Louise Anna Snyder, representing the
c. L. S., and the negative by j. l..
Miller, representing the ?. l.. S. The
debaters showed that they had made
careful and extensive preparation,
and produced soue good, sound argu-
meut. The debate, counting 40 points,
was won by ]. L. Miller. The sue
cessful grafton, counting 80 points,
was delivered by Edgar Halleck, p.
L. S., against E. w. Miller, G. L. S.
Mr.. Halleck's grafton was exception
ally good. The essay, with which
goes 20 points, was won by EtheI
Walter, P. L. S, against E. a. Hawse,
G. L. S., and the defamation, 10
points and the banner, by Winnie Bell,
c. L. S., against John w. LINK, P. L.
S. This gave the victory to the Par
thenians with 80 points out Of a posi-
bic 100, while the Ciceronians had to
be content with 10 points and the ban
ner. They were consoled, however,
by remembrance of the fact that last
year conditions were just the reverse.
The $50 offered by Mrs. L. +.
Goodwin as sn incentive to better
work was divided proportionately be-
tween the two societies, the Parthe-
Bians receiving SIS, and the Cicero
mans 81.
The judges on both the written
matter and the delivery were Prof.
Friend, Of Keyser; Prof. Neikirk, of
Hagerstown, and Prof. Tinsley, Of
M4rtinsburg. 1t was a very close
contest in every particular, and a hard
matter for the judges to decide. Mu-
sic for the evening was furnished by
the Shepherd College Orchestra.

On Friday evening Prof. John Har-
rIngton Cox, of the West Virginia
University, lectured to large and
appreciative audience. He took for
his subject The Study of English
Literature as a Means of Culture "
He said that the Study, even Of the
early Anglo-Saxon literature, was en-
nobling and elevating, and the fact
that this language is an infected Ian
guage would provide mental train
ing which would be as much benefit
as the training received from the
study of Latin and Greek. He dwelt
upon the works of such authors as
Shakespeare, Colelidge and Byron
and the benefits derived from care
full study of their productions. To
students Of English literature this lee
ture was especially interesting.

The competitive drill for the gold
medal offered by Prof. Knutti was
held on the college campus Saturday
at $50 p. m. A large crowd had as
sembled to witness the drill. The
medal was to be awarded the cadet
making the best appearance in drill
and who was most proficient in the
evolutions Of the company and the
manual of arms. Mr.. a. NJ. S. Nor
gan, of Charles Town, was the Judge,
and it was a difficult task for him to
decide who was to be the winner.
The decision was withheld until Mon
day, when it was announced that it
had been awarded Private E. A.
Kaech. The bayonet exercise, the
manual of arms and the evolutions of
the company were admirably executed,
and there was great diversity of oPin-
ion among the spectators as to who
would be the successful competitor.
This is a new feature in Shepherd
College, and has been under the con-
troll Of Capt. J. G. Knutti, who de-
serves much credit for its success. He
has been untiring in his efforts, and
that they have been appreciated is
evidenced by the whole-souled man
ner in which the boys attended the
drills and the respect and esteem in
which they held their commander.
