ed with Friends of Class
Professor T. B. Pearson, Of Col
umbus Was the Orator of the Ev-
ening Glass HOnOrs not Announced

A large number of people from
this city were at Caledonia Thursday
evening, where they attended the
annual commencement exercises of
the Caledonia schools. The occasion
was one of much Importance as ten
young people were graduated under
most auspicious circumstances.
Despite the rather inclement wealth
er conditions of the evening, the at
tendance was very large and the town
hall, in which the exercises were
held, was well filed Professor f. s.
Simpson, superintendent of schools
acted as chairman and Professor f.
b. Pearson, OF Columbus, was the
orator of the occasion.
After the invocation by Rev. G.. f.
Thompson, Prof. Pearson gave the
class address, taking as his subject
THE Home and the School," in which
many splendid suggestions were Civ
en- out concerning the relation OF
the school and the home. The sneak
er asked for harmony and emphasized
the influence which each bears upon
those whose early life is filled with
the thoughts and Inspirations gained
in the school and in the home.

tory. His subject was Success In

much merit. He was loudly ap-
plauded.

in the interesting program by the
philharmonic orchestra OF this city.

class address the diplomas were
presented the graduates by Professor

to the fact that the course was ey-
tended for the benefit of the student
body, no commencement was held
last year. The improved course
and the large number of graduates
this year was shown TO be a mark of
much credit to the schools.

Rev. G. f. Thompson, closed the pro-
gram oil the evening.

JAIL "TRUSTY" ENJOYS
SHORT LIBERTY IN CITY
Called to Testify in Cunning
ham Inquiry

The inquiry of the insanity commits
sion yesterday into the mental condi-
tion of James Edward Cunningham
the murderer of Carolina Brasch, was
the occasion of few hours of liberty
for Harry Squires, who has not been
out of San Francisco in six years, but
had never before witnessed a single
incident of the upbuilding of the city
since the fire.
Souires is head ''trusty' at the
county jail and as such has kept guard
over Cunningham, and was called to
testify before the insanity commission.
Souires was convicted of arson six
years ago and his case was appealed,
but all the records were destroyed in
the fire. He has never been able to
have the records restored, can not
take his appeal to the higher court
until they are restored and has no
prospect of securing pardon, although
he has served six years.
Suuires has the complete confidence
of the jail authorities and was al
lowed to ride to the hospital on a
streetcar instead of in the regular
sheriffs van. He was unable to express
hts wonder at the marvellous changes
wrought since he last saw the down
town district, a mass of ruins, three
years and half ago.
