A CLASS OF EIGHTEEN
Graduate from the Paris High School.
AN INTERESTING PROGRAMME OF Elk
ERCIsEs.-A CLASS WHO BID FAIR TO
LIVE UP TO THEIR MOTTO, "cERTUM
PETE FINEM."

Naturally there is scarcely any even
of the year which is of so much genera
and special interest in South Paris as tn,
graduation of the senior class in Paris
High School; and the interest increase.
school increases, and with a larger corps
of teachers it is enabled to do still better
| work.
The interest in the graduation of the
class of 1908 was manifest in the large
audience which filled the Baptist church
to the doors last Thursday evening.
There were large number IF people in
the audience from Paris Hill, West Paris
aud other places, as the graduating class
had two members from Paris Hill and
six from West Paris.
The decorations of the church were
very tasteful and pleasing. Overhead
streamers of the class colors, royal pur-
pie and white, were draped, and over
the arch of the pulpit panel bore the
class motto, "Certum pete finem," in
white letters on a purple ground. The
pulpit alcove was draped in white. At
the back of it was bank of cedar, in
front of which little fountain threw up
its jet and tinkled on the stones below.
Potted plants were effectively arranged
about the platform. The work of
decorating was in charge of Mrs. Pin
gree.
The music for the exercises was by
the Briggs Kids orchestra, who even ex-
celled their accomplishment on previous
public appearances, and won much de-
served applause.
The programme of the exercises was
as follows:

Excused. ~
The characteristic of the exercises
which commanded the most attention
was the vivid sense which all members
of the class seemed to have of the sig
nificance of the class motto, which is,
being literally translated, "Seek definite
end" Certainty if they maintain the
devotion to that principle which they
now manifest, they are sure of good
degree of true success in life; and it may
be said that personal acquaintance with
the members of the class leads those
who know them to anticipate that they
will be an honor to the school.
From the literary and rhetorical points
of view, the graduating exercises were
fully up to the standard, and the several
class parts had perhaps more than the
usual degree of originality and pointed
ness.
Superintendent Wheeler's remarks in
presenting the diplomas were brief but
timely and well spoken.
Though no members of the class have
taken the college preparatory course, it
is likely that several of them will pursue
studies in higher institutions.

REPORT IS CONFIRM ED.
Charge OF Irregularities Regarding
Assay of Ores at Ell Paso, Tex,
Being Investigated.

Washington, July 14.-The treasury
department Monday confirmed the re-
port that gross irregularities had been
charged in connection with the assay
of imported lead ores at Ell Paso, Tex.
The department was asked by the COL
lector there to appoint commission
with Government Storekeeper Fulker-
son, as chairman. to investigate the
charges. This the department declined
to do but instead directed Special Agents
Evans at Ell Paso and Johnson at New
Orleans to make the Investigation and
instructed Mr.. Fulkerson to turn over
to the special agents any facts in his pos
session bearing upon the subject. Mr..
Fulkerson refused to do this on the
ground that the agents would not treat
his evidence as confidential, whereupon
the department directed that charges be
preferred against Fulkerson for insub-
ordination. It is reported that Fulker-
sonhas resigned, but the department has
no knowledge of this action If it has
been taken. The investigation is now
in progress

Washington, July 16.-1t seems to be

of the war department who ought to
know that the name of Robert Shaw Oil

ant secretary of war, will be favorably
considered for secretary of war when
Secretary Root retires from the cabi-
net. It has been known for some time
that on the completion of certain i'm
portant matters which Secretary Root
has in hand he intends to return to New
York to resume the practice of law.
Just when this might happen has been,
and is still, very indefinite.
Secretary Root has returned from
Oyster Bay. He declined to make any
statement bearing on the subject of his
retirement from the cabinet. He will
not discuss the matter in any way. e..
