GIVEN THEIR DIPLOMAS
GRADUATES FROM BUSINESS COL
LEaE REWARDED.
Fifty-Two Young Men and Women
Pass to Commercial World
Addresses to Glass.

Fifty-twO young men and women. who
have during the past two or three years
prepared themselves for business life, were
last night presented with diplomas attest
ing their ability to perform any of the vari-
GUS duties in the commercial world as
graduates of Woods Commercial College.
The commencement exercises were held at
the National Theater and were of unusual
interest in many particulars. Two promi-
nent men who have succeeded in business
life were present to tell the young grad
yates that success awaits all who will labor
to attain it. The theater was especially
decorated for the occasion. The stage was
a profusion of flowers and potted palms,
and against the background of green were
seated the fifty-two young graduates. clad
in evening costume, making very pretty
picture.
The exercises were opened with an over
ture by Weber's Orchestra. While the au-
dience was being seated the orchestra
played several pleasing selections. The
overture was followed by an invocation
by Rev. H. Allen Griffith, and Prof Court
F. Wood, president of the college, intro
duced Mr.. William E. Andrews, auditor
of the treasury, to make an address to the
graduating classes. Mr.. Andrews confined
his remarks to business education and it's
value in later life. He spoke of the value
declared that such a training was an abso-
lutte necessity If success is to be attained in
the present day of strenuous competition.
He related instances of how the man pre-
pared for the work had outstripped men
not SO well prepared.
Prof. Rowe Presents Diplomas.
The address of Mr. Andrews was fol-
lowed by a short address by Prof. H. N.
Rowe of Baltimore. one of the best known
authorities on business education. Prof.

fore doing so he said he desired to say
a few words as to how the graduates should

region of such vast extent as Alaska

a great diversity Of climate. The peculiar

tances are travelled in winter by the dog
trains, which will travel farther and faster

transportation has admirably served scat

are indispensable and Imperative and would
prove immensely profitable enterprises. 1t
Is peculiar that capital should be timid
about constructing these lines, considering
that every mile that has thus far been built
has more than paid for itself within a year
Alaska can no more reach it's destined

sssippi. What would these sections be
today without railroads? Even Pennsylva-

Grant Tbrew Away His cigar.

There used to be a rule late in the
war against smoking at the war de-
partment All visitors there were re-
quired not to smoke within the old
building. A story used to be told by
Lieutenant James Hutchinson, former
ly of the Thirteenth New York volun-
teers, that Grant, when lieutenant
general, approached the building, a
cigar in his mouth A veteran of the
reserve corps, which Hutchinson COM
handed, was on guard. Hutchinson
was officer of the day. "You can't go
in and keep your cigar" said the SOL
der on guard to the general, and he
quietly threw the cigar away. General
Halleck, after Grant departed, issued
an order that officers should be allowed
to smoke within the building, but it is
said this never was suggested by Gen
eral Grant.-Washington Post.

IN BLUE AND IN GRAY.
A New England Veteran Who Is
Member of Confederate Camp.

Member of n confederate camp.
1t is a strange anomaly that one man
should belong both to the Grand Army
of the Republic and the organization of
Confederate Veterans. James Ander
a member of both bodies. On Memo
rial day he appears in the blue uniform
of the Union army. and he is the pos
SCISSOR also of suit of Confederate
gray. But Mr.. Anderson did not fight
on both sides during the civil war. He
was with the forces of the north, a
member of the Thirty first Maine vol
unteers. His membership in the organ
ization of Confederate Veterans came
about in another way. About four
years ago the Union veteran was in
Petersburg Va, visiting the old battle
ground. He was invited to a meeting
of Confederate Veterans and respond
ed to an invitation to make speech.
So highly did he praise the bravery of
the soldiers of the south during the Pc
tersburg siege that he quite won the
hearts of the old Confederates seated
about him. The feeling of friendship
resulted in an invitation to the mem
bers of the Confederate camp to visit
the G. A. r. post to which Mr.. Ander-
son belonged in Springfield, Mass. The
southern veterans went to Springfield
in a body. and soon afterward unani-
mously made Mr.. Anderson contrib
uting member of their camp. And this
incident is a striking illustration of the
union of the north and south.

She paused irresolutely, but only for
moment. Then she stepped forward
quietly, and his arms closed around
her. AS his bearded cheek rested
against hers he caught the whisper,
"For Jacks sake" and knew that

united.
When the supplies were put away,
the two sat in the little parlor. AS his
big, brown hand closed over hers he
told her how his heart had yearned to
share his grief with her, but how
pride had held him back till Ford's
tale of her privations had conquered
his stuSbornness. Hot tears rolled
down his checks, and it was the girls
tender voice that comforted.
Again the music sounded-the parade
was coming back-and the whistle of
the afternoon train added its shrill
notes to the familiar air of Marching
Through Georgia. But the two on
the big sofa had ears only for lost
voice.
Little Nellie, playing happily on the
porch, heard the music stop short and
a burst of cheering 90 up. Then the
band struck up again, but it could not
drown the cheers. Then down the

HOW 10 Avoid Coal Smoke.

In lecture recently DR.. David T,
Day. chief of the division of mineral re-
sources of the geological survey, gave
some valuable advice regarding the use
of bituminous coal, telling how to get
rid Of SCOT. He said: ''If at the time
the soft coal fire is started another fire
of paper be started above the coal, the
SCOT, which always rises with the build
ing of these fires, will be destroyed, do
ing away with the most annoying fea-
ture of bituminous smoke"

W@ROM Main street came the strain

old Nellie Bromley clapped her
hands and demanded that she
be taken to see the Memorial day
parade, but her mother only caught the
tiny form to her heart, and tears glis-

In some fairy coronet. Every shrill
note of the fife, every drumbeat, was
a stab.
Was it only year ago that she had
been persuaded by all her townspeople
to ride in the procession? The orator
of the day had feelingly spoken of her
as "this young widow who gave her

Roosevelt and the Labor Unions.

A captious critic of President Roose-
welt, seeking cause for Quarrel-in
which he is very unwise-declares that
the Presidents order reinstating a
foreman in the public printing office
after he had been expelled from the
bookbinders' union will cost him the
nomination next year.
The President need not be troubled
about the outcome of the National
Convention. Every Republican State
convention thus far this year has in
dorsed President Roosevelt for the
nomination next year, and one OF
them, West Virginia, has recon-
mended him also for 1908. The States
which either this year or last have
strongly recommended the Presi-
dents nomination number eighteen
and have much more than a majority
of the votes in the National Conven-
tion. Every other Republican State
Convention this year will follow the
example Of those that have been held.
No other President was ever thus
urged for the nomination so long be-
fore the time of the meeting of the
National Convention. All other prob
able or possible candidates have taken
themselves out of the list and left the
field entirely for Roosevelt. He will
be nominated by reclamation, and
from present indications be elected by
a majority almost without precedent.

Majestic Theatre.

what are the qualifications of a
chorus girl ?" was the question pro-
pounded to Julian Mitchell, stage
director of '"The Wizard of or, " by a
New York interviewer one night at
the Majestic Theatre last week.
Mr. Mitchell. who is undoubtedly the
cleverest man in his line in the bust
ness, gave the following Succinct
reply:
First, an attractive appearance;
second, intelligence; third, dancing
ability; and fourth, good voice.
That's about the order in which |
should rate the requirements. The
ideal chorus girl should weigh about
a hundred and twenty-five pounds, be
about five feet two or three inches in
height and possess a good figure. 1t is
not all essential that girl should be
able to read music. At the first
rehearsal, | give the girls type
written copy of the lyrics, and then,
to put it abruptly, drum the airs
into them by constant repetition.
In staging play like THE Wizard
of On, | first have a talk with the
scenic artist, and learn from him lust
where the exits and entrances are,
and the depth and width of the stage
room in each set. Then | rehearSe
the stage business with the chorus.
Everything is mapped out beforehand
as rule but sometimes / figure out
the business of a song after the girls
are on the stage. This means con-
slant rehearsal.
