HAYS NORMAL COMMENCEMENT
Glass of % Given Diplomas at the
Hays Institution.

Hays, June 3-This is the
sixth annual commencement of the
Western State Normal school. In spite
of the threatening weather a crowded
chapel greeted the 90 graduates. c. S.
Gleed, the speaker for the occasion,
wired his inability to be present owing
to some legal matters in Washington
which required attention. DR.. j. e.
Bodin of the chair of philosophy at
the Kansas university, made the adj
dress. His subject was Value of Ed
ucation." 1t did not take very long
after the learned man commenced I'M
til it was felt that an intellectual feast
was in store. He said that his subject
was commonplace, but that at the time
when so many were going out to teach
it was not out of place to stop and ask
the question what education was
worth. Not many years ago 1t was
nothing unusual to see man start at
the bottom of the ladder in a railway
system and in course of time get the
position of highest responsibility. Most
anyone could in a brief period of time
become a lawyer, or doctor, of the
kind they We're. And it is out of ques-
ton how great sacrifices people did not
have to make until these men became
proficient. Today one can not prepare
too long and too we'll before one enters
vocation In fact a broad general
training is required before one is al
lowed to enter a technical school,
Why all this expenditure of time,
money and energy? 1t has been dem
onstrated that a person with a hberai
education can analyze the complex
problems of life better than one who
has not been thus favored. He can live
more in a few years and add something
to help and better the world. The ed
ucated man is able to get to the bot
tom of any question and find a solution
of the difficulty. The doctor said fur
Their that even the possession of large
fortunes could not compare with a well
trained and balanced mind 1t was
riches enough to be able to live with
the great and good of all ages. And
after all it is not what we possess. but
what we enjoy that really belongs 10

HE HELPED BELL.
First Man to Hear Through Tele-
phone Is Dead.

Chicago, June 3.-William Ham
mond Hubbard, said to be the first
person to hear the human voice re-
produced on the telephone, is dead
at Lake Forest, Ill. He was
the man whom Alexander Graham
Bell. the inventor of the telephone,
in the late '70s selected to aid him in
making the tests of the scientific dis
covery that has revolutionized the
world.
Mr.. Hubbard was so years old.
His death was the result of long i'll
ness that several years ago compelled
him to retire from active life.
1t was while he was a student in
Harvard that he was chosen by the
noted inventor to assist him in the
work of perfecting his wonderful in
vention. He was graduated from Har-
ward in 1879. He was intensely in
terested in scientific work and became
an active member of the geographic
cal society.

whose divorce litigation against Mrs.
Mary Scott Hartje was unsuccessful,

with his fist and by specifying the
time and place in the city of London,
where she alleges that in the month
of July. he kicked her without any
provocation and to specify as to the
alleged infidelity on the part of the
respondent. A demand is also made
for sources of information.
1t is understood Mrs. Hartjes
lawyer will go into court with an
swer Directing to giving away the
source of information as it was done
in previous instances on the ground
that it would enable the attorneys of
the respondent to get at their wit
nesses and thus jeOpardize the
strength of the testimony they are
prepared to offer.

TRIAL MUST GO ON.
Court Refuses to Take Graft Cases
From the Jury.

Harrisburg Pa, June 3.-Judge
Kunkle in the Dauphin county court
today refused to take the capitol con-
spiracy case from the jury. All five
defendants will therefore stand trial.
The decision has been eagerly awaited
and was a keen disappointment to the
defense.
Immediately after the ruling of the
court the defense opened its case.
Former Attorney General Hensel out
lined the defense. He said he spoke
for all the defendants and denied col
fusion or falsity in measures of the
metallic furniture of the new capitol
as charged by the state. The defense,
he said would show that the system
of measurements was a proper one in
all respects and that it worked saw
ing to the state.

GAVE HIM A FLAG.
Irish Societies Presented Cardinal
Logue With Mementoes.

New York, June 3.-Two Irish socie-
ties, the Catholic Benevolent legion and
the New York municipal council of the
United Irish League of America, met at
Archbishop Farley's house this week
and each presented Cardinal Logue
with mementoes of his visit here.
The Catholic Benevolent legion's gift
was large American flag. In accept
ing 1t Cardinal Logue said:
Though 1 always have been proud
Of my countrymen, ! have never been
so proud of them as l have since
came here to America. I know the re-
spect and affection the Irish Catholics
have for that banner. They love the
flag"
The second presentation took the
form of an Illuminated address signed
by fifty prominent members of the
United Irish league.
The address, spoke of the part taken
by the league in assisting the Irish peo-
pie at home in their strife for national
regeneration, and concluded by asking
the cardinal to bring back with you
to our kith and kin the assurance that
We are with them heart and hand in
their struggle for their rights, and ever
will be till their rights are theirs to en-
Joy"
In response Cardinal Logue said:
Il am sincerely grateful for this
beautiful address. There is additional
reason why We should be grateful for
whenever any cause is promoted for
the welfare of Ireland, We are always
sure of our countrymen in America
supporting it.
I'm regard to our own domestic af-
fairs, we want some little share of that
freedom which you enjoy. We want
the control of our domestic affairs We
believe we can manage them better
than our friends on the other side OF
st. Georges channel, and we are de-
termined by legitimate means and con-
stitutional legislation, to secure them
That body of politicians, the Irish
Nationalist party, is working hard for
that end. They must be supported AS
far as my Judgment goes, they we'll de-
serve that support. We receive our
chief support from the Irish in Amer
lea. They have one end in tiew-the
welfare of our country.
We ask autonomy for our country;
such autonomy as will not break up the
empire. Sooner or later we will secure
for ourselves such a form of govern
ment as will allow Ireland's sons to
prosper in their own country OF
course, If we have a surplus of popula-
ton we can always send some of our
clever young men over here We have
hard struggle before us, but I can
assure you that the people at home are
prepared for it,

IMMIGRANTS SWINDLED.
Charged for kilograms Which Are
Never Transmitted.

New York, June 3.-An investiga-
ton has been going on at Ellis Island
for several days to discover the ex-
tent of a new swindle practiced upon
incoming aliens. The swindle con-
sists in certain ships officers collect
ing money from steerage passengers
for kilograms, for all of which an
overcharge is made and in many in
stances the kilograms are never sent.
The practice came to light when
about seventy passengers from the
steerage of a big liner on it's last trip
to this port, appealed to the tele-
graph companies for Information re-
garding messages sent from that yes
sci to friends, notifying them of their
arrival here.
Deputy Commissioner of Immigra-
ton Joseph Murray, started an in
vestigation which resulted in the line
refunding the overcharge and a
charge being made against a certain
officer of the vessel.
Other steamship lines have been
notified that the swindle must be
stopped.

Clerical Clothes In New York.

To-day ] encountered a whim of
New York tailors that astonished me-"
said western clergyman. II ordered
suit of clothes from a man who re-
fused to work for me.
What's the reason you folks are
passing me along to another tailor?'
l asked. DO / look hard to fit? Are
you afraid you won't get your money?
''The tailor explained that neither of
my guesses was correct. He declined
to make my clothes simply because
am a clergyman and require a clerical
cut. He let me down easily by stat
ing further that he never undertook
to make ecclesiastical garments, that
very few of the lay tailors in New
York do undertake them. They do
not have enough of that kind of work
to keep them constantly informed on
the requirements of the different re-
ligious orders. A mistake would be
embarrassing to the clergymen and to
the tailor, so they hand all such GUS
toners over to tailors who make a
speciality Of such work."-New York
