DIPLOMAS
AWARDED
TO SEVEN YOUNG LADIES AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES LAST EVENING
THRY DELIVERED ORATIONS.
Acquitting Themselves with Honor
Large Audience.

The Carnegie Library Auditor
ium was packed with friends and
relatives of the high school gradu-
ates last evening TO witness the
exercises Of tie third annual COM
mencement. 1t was a great occa.
sion. The presence of SO many in
terested school patrons, the splen-
lid school spirit evident in the
class yells and songs, the program
rendered, all combined TO make it
a memorable event in the history
of our public schools.
People began to flock TO the
building at an early hour. and by
eight O'Clock every available seat
was occupied and many were
standing.
Above the center Of the stage
appeared i'll electrical effects "o5, 4
while across the front were ar
ranged ferns and palms in a tasty
manner. On the stage were seated
the members of the school board
and when Prof. Fox's orchestra
began the opening musical num-
Der the. graduates and high school
teachers marched in and took their
places.
Rev. J. H. Bennett offered an
impressive Invocation and then the
Choral Society sand Italia, in a
very effective manner. AT this
juncture occurred an unexpected
part of the program. The under
graduate classes Of tie high school,
seated in the rear Of the room gave
forth their lusty class yells with an
abundance of sis boom ah' and
"rah, rah rahs," and sang some
of their jolly class songs. These
were repeated at various stages in
the program and seemed to be en-
joyed by the audience.
Supt. Staley made a brief talk
inviting the audience to attend the
exercises in the grades today and
then Miss Frances Davis delivered
her Grafton ON Revolution and
Republic" Revolution and re-
public were action and reaction.
The history of representative
government was outlined from
its beginning in antiquity, in
Europe and thence to America.
Monarchy rufied its feathers and
the American eagle was born.
Astounding in good thought, cloth
ed in excellent language, and
spoken in a clear, forcibIe manner,
the effort Of Miss Davis made a
splendid impression on her hearers.
Miss Chloe Murray had for her
theme, The Things that Abide.
1t was well written essay, replete
with beautiful ideas, expressed in
a striking manner with a wealth of
delicate and appropriate imagery,
A piano selection, "Valse Chro-
matique No. S GODDARD by Mrs.

gram and it was rendered in O.
manner that was thoroughly en-
ioyed.
"The Ultimate Idea" was the
subject of Miss Harriet McGhee's S
oration. Progress was dependent
upon ideals. She traced the evo-
luton OF national ideals and the
American ideal was criticized with
some severity as being sordid and
material. 'Oh that the day may

ROBRED WHEN At CHURCH
Nephe1o Of F. Norton Goddard
Loses Jegoelry Worth Hundreds.

Gardiner Stewart a real estate dealer, living
at No. 712 West End-ave., was robbed OF d1a-
rnonds and other iewelry. valued at several
hundred dollars, on Sunday. Mr. Stewart is a
nephew of the late F. Norton Goddard
Mr.. Stewart said last night that he did not
believe that the thief was professional, be-
cause he overlooked articles of considerable
value.
The theft was committed while members OF
the family were at church. When they got
home they found the doors unlocked, and Mrs.
Stewart noticed that articles were missing from
her dresser. Investigation showed that many
things of value had disappeared
When Mr. Stewart reported the case to the
police, he says they requested him not to give
out anything for publication, but as Mr. Stew
art was robbed about a year ago and received
and followed the same advice, he declined with
thanks.
Mrs. Greene who lives in the same house
with Mr. Stewart, had an experience with a
wouId-be thief about o'clock Monday night.
Mrs. Greene's maid heard noises in front room
and informed her mistress who entered as the
outer door closed with a slam. In the hall she

Only four more days remain for Chrsstmes pn1s
chases and, as the time grows shorter. the dTowds
in the shopping centres increase Yesterday tnere
were many thousand more shoppers than on the
day before, and to-day promises to bring out an
even larger number of buyers
Already the augmented STATS of clerks In the
large stores find it difficult to meet the demand on
their services. and what It will be Saturday night
even up the last hour, can be judged by the e1-
perience Of other years.
The whole city Is in holiday attire. Wreaths Of
holly, tied with bows of ribbons, can be seen IN
windows every side. Everywhere the sweet
scent of the pine suggests the proximity OF Christ
mas trees, and nearly every corner is the
familiar tripod and pot of the Salvation Army over
which presides lasse whose tingling bell invites
you to contribute to the Christmas dinner to the
poor.
Also there is Santa Claus. who stands by his
chimney, which is the collection box of the Vol
unteers of America. whose proceeds will bring
cheer to several thousand hearts and homes.

the price rules about the same as last year.
At the Christmas tree market along West-sG
there are thousands and thousands Of pines,
whose fragrance pgreaes the air t1 for 69eRs
trees and hundreds of crates of holly. -
Trees may be had at prices ranging from oo
cents for the little family tree up to $50 for the
Sunday school variety.
Holly is abundant this year, but not of q good
quality The berry is smaller, and the color is
not so brilliant red usual. This is due to the
dry autumn. The quality of the holly has caused
decided drog in the price Crates which i last g
Holly wreaths are selling at 81 a dozen.

cents According to the dealers, most of the
mstletoe is sold after nightfau, and the purchasers
for the greater part are shy young women who
seem to consider any price cheap for nnistletoe, and
invariably insist on the sprays being carefully
wrapped up.

ADMIT PAYING COMMISSIONS.
Erie and Chicago & Erie Say Agreement Was
Not for Relating.

Milwaukee. Dec. 19-The Erie Railroad and the
Chicago and Erie in their voluminous answer to
the governments complaint in the rebate case.
fled to-day admit an ironclad agreement with the
Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit Company whereby
the latter was to receive commission of 1213
per cent on the net amount of business given to
the railroads for transportation.
The answer denies that the commissions were
given IN anything but good faith with in
tention to violate the law. The roads declare they
have no knowledge that the payments were used
to give the Pabst Brewing Company an unlawful
preference or discrimination.
