succeeded. But nature appeared on
the scene long before our early pro-
genitors and shaped the bays and
shore line; piled up the mountains
and artistlcally laid out the lake and
and valley lands. The "Crystal
Hills " long, long years ago were the
sacred haunt of the red mems Mani
tou, the lakes and rivers, the aborlgl-
nes' fishing grounds, aud the mag
niticent sea coast was their haven OF
rest. Then the "pale face" came,
and afterwards was the advent OF
che railroad.
Busy marts, high mountains, lake
and inland sections and the entire
sea coast were all linked by the great
steam railroa1. Climatic conditions

End of Commencement

The Class Day exercises, held at the
Cong'l church Wednesday evening of
last week, drew a full house and as
is always the case, proved very in
teresting. The program was well
rendered and all received hearty APP
plause. Special mention should be
made of the response to the under

two years yet to serve before he
graduates, gave verycommendable
"replv." 1t showed careful study
and preparation and was decidedly
original and we'll rendered. Miss
DEMO and M. O. Heath each sang a
solo. The exercises were followed
by a social and prom at the Gym.
Thursday evening occurred the grad

ways looked forward to with pleas
ure by students, their relatives and
the friends of the institution. The
church was filled, all the seats in the
vestry, a. we'll as extra chairs and
settees being carried. in. 1t was the
largest audience ever seen in the
church, about four hundred being
present. There was fine display of
plants and flowers, which with the
handsome gowns of the graduates,
made a very pleasing appearance.
The music was exceptionally fine, be-

ADDITIONAL intelligence from Jili-
NOR. Russia, shows that one hundred
and twenty Jews lost their lives in the
recent anti-semitic outbreak in that
place. Rioting is still in. progress and
more serious results are feared. Jew
batting has ragged for many years. There
are always sporadic cases, but Oecasion-
ally it RACES in an epidemic form in GER
tain places. Why the descendants of
Abraham should be targets for people
who profess to be Christians is hard to
understand. If the Semites in other
countries are as well-behaved as those
in the United States and of the same
type of good citizens, there is certainly
no reason for such chronic persecution.

man, all of whom played their parts as

ToDAY's dispatches tell of two
terrible disasters in which between five
and six hundred human beings lost their
lives. The greater calamity of the two
resulted from one of the elements-the
dreaded tornado-by which five hundred
men. women and children were crushed
to death in Oklahoma by falling walls
and crushed roofs while they were
asleep. The other, near Harrisburg,
Pa. was due to an explosion caused by
a passenger train colliding with freight
cars loaded with dynamite. This,
also, occurred in the night while passen-
gers were in their berths in the sleeping
cars unmindful of the terrible fate that
awaited them. We live in day when
wholesale horrors are common, and when
wars and rumors. Of wars occupy much
space in the newspapers. The twentieth
century is thought by some to be the
golden era in mundane history. 1t may
be in human progress, as no one can con
troyert the fact that the world has IN
comparatively recent years undergone
remarkable transition, but with all the
discoveries and rapid strides in science
there is as much human woe confronting
the race as ever.

Oil Tank Burning.

Wheeling, w. Va, May 1.-THE
efforts of the people Of Downs, W. Va, to
extinguish the flames in the II, 900 bar
rel tank of the Standard Oil Company,
fred accidentally this morning, have
been unayailing. The tank was almost
consumed, and all houses within radius
of several hundred feet have been burn
ed. The cannon on the special train
sent from MOrgantown, arrived at 6
o'clock, but on account of the intense
heat il was not possible to get the gun
within sufficient range to penetrate the
heavy iron OF the tank. 1t was thought
if the tank were punctured, the flames
would die out. The fire will cost the
Standard Oil Company a million dollars.
1t was caused, it was said, by the care.
lessness of an operator who dropped
match when gauging the tanks. In
range of the fire are other tanks with a
combined capacity of about 80, 900 bar
rels. The pumping station is a total
loss. The people are now building earth
en- trenches around the tank.
