List of those Who Took Part-The Class
Prophecy Read to the Amusement OF
all : Mr.. Keasbey Delivered The Class
Oration and Glass Poem by Miss Halt e
Hartmann.

BEFORE IN audience of relatives and
friends which filled every seat in the
large High School auditorium, the
class of 1904, of sixteen young ladies
and eleven voung men, the largest i'll
the schools history, held its class
day exercises Yesterday afternoon.
The members who took part covered
themselves and their class with glory,
and the day will go down in the
school annals as one of the most sue
cessful since its establishment.
The walls of the auditorium were
draped with the class coIors, green
and white, the bunting of the latter
blending we'll with the green leaves
and branches. The Stage was trimmed
with the same scheme, there being
rows of the bunting draped tastefully
over the proscenium. The windows
ut the rear of the stage were partly
covered by n narrow latticework of
white, intertwined with green. Over
the windows was wide green strip
of hunting. bearing the class motto
in Greek, in white letters a foot high.
The English version OF the motto is
"Know Thyself. As one of the
speakers aptly phrased it, the graduates
seemed to know not only their own
peculiarities, but those OF their class
mates, and others as well. The Nom
bers of the class, tho ia Guilty and the
under graduates all received theil
share of the good -natured verbal
thrusts, as delivered by the speakers.
No one felt offended, however, and n
spirit of jollity, mellowed by the
thoughts of parting from the associa-
tions built up within the last four
years, pervaded the atmosphere. The
graduates, according to custom, were
the sole occupants of tie platfoi M.

AFTER THE THIEVES.
Freight Train Leaves Jersey City at Night
and Arrives Here Early In the Morning
Butchers Say that Hams and Small
Pieces of Meat are Stolen and II is Be-
llevsd 1t ls Done In this City.

A number of butchers and meat
dealers of this city are now on the
warpath against the Central railroad,
because of the meat that is being
stolen from the cars shipped to this
city for them.
Late every night cars loaded with
meat leave Jersey City over the Cen
trail railroad for this city, and thoy
arrive here early each morning, as the
train makes many stops on the way
down.
Daring the past few weeks almost
every butcher has complained that
the seal on the cars have been broken
and meat. such Gs hams, IONS of pork
or leg of lamb have been stolen.
A local butcher, in conversaJi on
with News reporter, this morning,
said:
"For some time past we have dis
covered that meat has been disappear
ing. and as tho cars could not be
broken into before they get to this
city, it must be done after they are
left here No matter how we try we
cannot seem to get the thieves and it
is expected that the matter will be
reported to the railroad officials and
let them see If they can help us out. "
This butcher said that the local
dealers had to suffer as the meat COM
pany in Jersey City would not allow
them anything for the goods stolen.
Il il understood that railroad detec-
tives will be in this city very shortly
to see il they can put an end to the
trouble.

BIG HAUL OF
BLUE FISH.

This morning two fishermen with n
seine in boat made a haul of two tons,
or nearly 100 bushel of blue fish in the
bay. Their little boat was so loaded
down that it was almost impossible for

they made a landing.

Bunten to tow them to Fulton market,
New York, where they expect to dispose
of the lot.
Those who saw the craft loaded with
fish say that the men will clear over 800

of fish that has been made in these
waters this season, although they have

The Igorrotes, who at home are head

cordingly, stray dogs, instead of suf.
fering death by asphyxiation. will be
slaughtered, dressed and roasted. fried

peculiar taste Of the Igorrotes.
On their arrival at St. Louis recent
ly the 300 Filipinos suffered from pneu.

to secure prime piece OF broiled dog
steak. He also recovered. This coin
