Forty eight graduates, an equal
number of young men and young wo-
men, received diplomas at the COM
mencement exercises held at the high
school this morning. There were al
SO four graduates from the CONNER
ciai course.
The feature of the exercises was the
address given by w. w Parsons, pres
ident of the State Normal school at
Terre Haute, Ind, on why the State
Educates her Children" President
Parsons is a speaker who seems to
magnetic his audience and who could
go on speaking a long time without
firing one. He dwelt at length on
the educational qualities of the public
schools of the state, both elementary
although he is a firm believer in col
lege education. He said: AT no time
in the history of the world has the
interest of the people in education
been greater than at the present time.
Especially are the people of this
country almost unanimously agreed
that they must be educated. We be-
lieve that all classes should be edu-
Gated. Education does not concern
the individual alone but the state, so
ciety and church.
AS proof of this interest in edu-
cation he quoted some figures show
ing more than 100000 children to
have been enrolled in the public
schools of the country in the past

the trial Mrs Hastings won the disapproval of the
decorous Frances and the other London ladies by
Haunting her Indian gorgeousness and her baby
curls, when in their opinion, she should have been
properly subdued by the black shadow over her
husband. No doubt this conspcuousness was
only the outer form of the poor 1ady's loyalty,

of anything less than triumphant acquitta1. That

The career of Mozart seems to contradict the
theory that domestic is enemy to genius.
He and his wife were bitterly poor poor that
sometimes they had fire, and had been seen
dancing together in mid morning to get warm. In

leaving on her pillow if he went out before she
wakened gave minute warnings against taking cold,
rising too quickly, stumbling the threshold, and
so on, and concluded with, Keep all the domestic

remains that while Mozart with his wife he was

was away from her he slipped into idleness and
excuses. Marriage whatever it cost him, was his
path to success.
We told that while Mozart composed, he liked
to have his wife sit beside him and relate childrens
tales and legends-a curious way of helping genius
burn. The wife of Burne- Jones used to read to her
husband while he painted; but no literary talent
is known to have been famed in that manner.
Indeed Carlyle would not let his wife sew in the
room where he worked, her needle made much

That love is the deepest and most lasting source
of ambition, Bismarck admitted when he wrote to
his wife, If had to live without God, without
you, without the children, do not know why I
should not put this life away from like fretted

his wife without feeling that his home instead of
hampering him, provided the human outlet that set
him free to mount and made the task worth doing.

 But the South that defled and de- stroyed Douglas has produced a gem eration thnt knows not Joseph. There is no Democrat at the South who would dare context the nomination with MT. Bryan-nJt one. He has them com pletely sukdued-the successors of Ma son and Davih, Tombs and Wigfall.

Work was commenced on the cottage the next day.
