COMMENCEMENT At
ST. BERNARO'S
Exercises Were Held This A.
ternoon-only One Gradu-
ate This Year.

The commencement exercises of St.
Bernards Ursuline academy were OF
the usual high order and rendered in a
most interesting and entertaining
manner for which the participants de-
serve great credit and congratulations
The first number on the program was
the address of welcome by Miss Mar
garet Lemm, delivered in her grace
full pleasing manner, followed by the
comforting of medal and diploma on
Miss Loretta DeLisle, the one honored
graduate of the institution, who was
spokenly of very highly as student,
deserving unusual credit on the sue
cessful completion of her course. The
address to the graduate" by Miss
Vivian Dinnie, in behalf of the stu
dents was fitting farewell address in
which she brought out Miss DeLisle's
many virtues in her own sweet way
and did honor and credit to herself
and school mates as we'll.
An instrumental duet rendered in a
most creditable manner by Miss Lor-
eta DeLisle and Miss Alice Richter
was a most pleasing feature of the
program. which was followed by a
scene from Shakespeare's Richard
the Third" each one performing his
part in the true style of an amateur
dramatist. Those taking part were:
Miss Thorarinson, G. Gahan, r. Car
Isle, H. johnson, Clarence Monley,
Miss Lemm, J. Hart, D. Richter, La
Vergne De Lisle, Miss Dinnie, NJ Har-
ris, NJ. Beaupre, Arthur Canniff, Miss
Richter, NJ. OoLisle, NJ. King and
Benjamin Gadefski.
Miss Loretta DeLisle chose as the
subject of her commencement grafton,
st. Angela" whose centennial cannoni-
cation anniversary was May "a. The
Grafton was the result of a thorough
understanding of her subject, and was
delivered in clear, graceful, enter
tanning manner, which held the per-
feet attention of the appreciative au-
dience. The next number was a
thoroughly enjoyed drama called
Saint Ursula" rendered by Miss Lor-
eta DeLisle. R. Carlisle, NJ. Beaupre,
NJ. Sullivan, Miss Thorarinson, G. Har-
ris, r. Best, NJ. DeLisle, Miss Hamil-
ton, A. Richter, Clarence Monley, Miss
Henderson, H. Johnson, La Verne De
Lisle, Miss Lemm, ]. Hart, B. Gadefski,
Miss Dinnie, NJ King and A. Canniff.
The valdictory address delivered by
Miss Loretta DeLisle was one of
sincere feeling in which she expressed
deep regret at leaving her alma mater,
teachers, friends and class mates, but
insured those that remain, that she
would always have warm spot in her
heart for the academy and everybody
associated with it.
The valdictory closed the commence
ment program which was followed by
the closing day exercises of the lowe,
grades.

LlNCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPEECH.

Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this con-
tinent new nation, conceived in lib
erty, and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal. Now
We are engaged in a great civil war
testing whether that nation or any
nation SO conceived and SO dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on a
great battlefield of that war. We
have met to dedicate a portion of it
as final resting place of those who
here gave. their ives that the nation
might i've.
1t is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this. But in
larger sense we cannot dedicate, We
cannot consecrate. We cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here have
consecrated it far above our power
to add or detract. The world will
little note, nor long remember what
we say here, but it can never forget
what they did
1t is for us, the living, rather to be
dedicated here to the great task re-
flaming before us, that from these
honored dead We take increased de-
votion to the cause for which they
gave the last full measure of devo-
ton; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in
vain, that the nation shall. under God,
have new birth of freedom, and that
the government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, shall not
perish from the earth.

BADLY WORRIED.

The morning democratic daily of
this city is much exercised over what
it hopes will be the retirement of the
Evening Times from the newspaper
field in this city. The wish is father
to the thought with the exponent OF
state democratic supremacy.
For it's information, however, the
Times would say that it will continue
to employ all the help necessary to
keep it in the lead of city newspa-
perdom, and that this help will be
paid in full for it's service without
the owners having recourse to a set
Element of their bank obligations at
twenty-five cents on the dollar on the
grounds of bankruptcy when the los
ers by the robbery are the widows
and orphans of the city. Neither will
it be necessary for the Times to rob
the taxpayers of the state of thirty
six per cent of the state printing
contract, nor to accept printing from
the city of Grand Forks on twenty
five cent basis before the advent of
the Evening Times and accept the
same work at eight cents after the
Times had exposed the high handed
robbery Of the morning democratic
daily, as that paper has done in each
instance.

This fixing of the actual value of

estimated that freight and passenger

cut in two and still allow a reason

owners.
