Commencement Exercises.

The commencement exercises of the
Julesburg public schools were held in
the Congregational church last Friday
evening. There was but one member
OF the graduating class, Miss Jennie
Twomey, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
J. r. Twomey, Of this place.
Miss Twomey had chosen for the
subject of her Grafton Development" :"
and the manner in which she treated
it gave evidence of deep thought and
careful preparation. Her delivery was
easy, her presence pleasing and alto
gether she acquitted herself in Il man
ner very credtable to herself and her
teachers. She WAS the recipient of
many handsome floral tributes from
her friends.
A very interesting feature of the
program of exercises was the Spanish
and Cuban drill, which was given by
twenty four boys and girls from the
third, fourth and fifth grades The
participants were dressed in uniforms
representing those of Spanish and
Cuban soldiers and had been trained
20 execute the naneuvers OF soldiers
in battle. Not hitch occurred to
mar the beauty of the drill, the young
folks acquittIng themselves in splen-
did manner, thereby rejecting great
credit upon their teacher. Prof. G. r..

WORKERS IN JAPAN.
Have Deen Accustomed to severe
Manual Labor mt Very
Small Pay.

In Japan there is no bar erected
against the employment Of women in
any industry whatever. provided they
show their capacity for the work re-
quired. The usual wages the girl Of
that country receives is three pence
n day-about six cents. For tina
miserable stipend girls not only labor
hard during working hours. but per-
nit themselves to be wholly isolated
from the outer world. just as il they
were in prison. a hospital or Il nun
merry. Thus they are entirely in the
power Of their employers. the least
S"Crurulous of whom take m unfair adj

the high spirit OF IA few wealthy firms.
a strong and lurid light has been
thrown upon those dark places OF
Japan, and redress IS already in sight.
The Manchester OF the mikado's realm
is Osaka. and it was the terrible state
OF things in vogue in the mills and

attention. The slaves OF the southern
states Of North America had a better
time than some Of the wrcichcd girls
OF OSAKA, the product of whose labor
was thrown upon European mar cts
at nominal prices. Happily. the guild
Of wcavcrS have now set To work To
better the lot Of these helOts. and its
efforts are being REINFORCED by gov
ernmcn employees.
CurinIslT enough. in the higher call

GENERAL MILES RETIREMENT.

Speaking Of the retirement OF General
Miles the Boston Post says: "a typical
American soldier today passes from
active service to the retired list. Lieu
tenant General Nelson A. Miles, the
successor OF Scott, OF Schofield, Of
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, in the illus
trious line OF those who have had the
highest military rank under the repub
lie, steps out. Unquestiopably, it is n
loss to the service. The iron rules which
retires every officer when he reaches the
age OF GA has in this instance surely
worked detriment. General Miles goes
out in the plentitude OF ms mental and
physical powers and with a record never
surpassed, il indeed it has been cqualled.
There ia Washington, Of course, who
fought the war that made the nation,
and Grant, who commanded the armies
that saved the Union. But in the period
covered by the service Of General Miles
there has been work done hardly less
important rs a certificate OF the ability
OF the directing mind.
General Miles is peculiarly endeared
to the American people by the fact that
he comes from civil life. BY sheer merit
he rose from a clerkship here in Boston
to the command OF the United States
army. He entered military life ut the
beginning OF the civil war as a lieuten-
ant Of volunteers, fought his way from
one grade to another until he reached
command Of the brigade, mourning
wounds three times in the process; then
descended from the rpnk of maior-GeD.
eral Of volunteers to that OF colonel Of
regulars and worked up again through
the regular service until Il reluctant
President WIS compelled to give him the
commission OF n acknowledgement. No
more successful Indian fighter ever
brought relief to the harlied settlements
OF the frontier, and his conquest of Por.
to Rico was one oi the neatest achieve.
