St. Xavier Commencement.

The graduating exercises of st.
Xavier's convent School held at City
Hall last Thursday evening were es-
pecially interesting.

uate Of this year, is a bright young
lady and her essay OH Through
Memory's Halls" showed scholarly
care in preparation and was given
with truly delightful ease Of man
ner. AT the close Of her Grafton,
Reverend Father O'Meara presented
her with solid gold and engraved
medal and also diploma Of honor
able graduation.
The chorus-work Of the pupils was
credit to St.Xayier's instructress in
that branch, and the duets for eight
hands were rendered with faultless
symphony by the pupils of Sister
Raymond.
An exquisite rendition Of Mills
Tarantelle, Opus 10, was given by
Miss Susan Cassidy who as a plan
list certainly has "a marvellous talent
in this accomplishment.
The Rotations Of MissAgnes Hy=
Ter and Miss Anna Granfeld were
also well received and both earned
the applause 50 heartily accorded
them.
Albert Maley,assisted by Lawrence
Brender on the mandolin, gave a
creditable violin number from Ru-
bernstein.
The drills, The Southern Archers
;. by eleven young ladies and Uncle

troops in costume were perfection.
Not in one particle could they have
been bettered. The drills, had been
under master1y direction and it was
pleasure to note the precision Of
each change.
Elton Stone as the drummer boy
was great. He kept perfect time
and the audience was charmed with
his sweet dignity.

spirators were all men of high rank,
who acted i'll concert with the army.
The participation of the latter in the
assassinations is mainly due TO the
attitude of King Alexander and his
consort toward the officers of the army,
whom he always treated with scant
courtesy. His desire to remove the
war school from Belgrade to Shebatz
particularly gave the officers offense.
Reasons for Acting June 10.
Dissatisfaction against King Alex
ander's rule has been active since
his suspension Of the constitution last
April, and it is from that time that
the military plot dates. The conspira-
tors had decided on June 10 as the
date for the execution of the revolu-
ton for two RESPONSIBILITY, it is the
anniversary of the murder of King
AleXander's grand uncle Michael, and
secondly, because it was feared that
further delay would permit the skupt-
selma to settle the succession to the
throne according to the kings wishes,
and it was believed that the brother
of the hated queen would be his
choice.
