C0URTLAND SCHOOL GRADUATION
 EXERCISES
Diplomas Presented By Dr. Charles Ray Palmer - Address By Dr. William Lyon Phelps.

The ball room of the Hotel Strat- field was filled this morning with a cultured and appreciative audience, the occasion being the graduating ex- ercises of the Courtland school.
 The decorations of the stage were characterized by simplicity, being confined exclusively to palms and ferns, yet they formed a very effec- tive setting with their uniformity ol color. In relief against the back ground was a broad panel of ferns with the symbol "'1O" in white car nations. The platform was occupied by the principals of the school, Miss Frances A. Marble and Miss Mary J. Miner, William Lyon Phelps, Ph. D., Reverend Charles Ray Palmer, D. D., and the graduates, Miss Dorothy Eardley wilmot and Miss Marguerite Florence Wilmot. The diploma rib- bons were of pistache green.
 To the music of Bentley's orches- tra, all the young ladies of the stu dent body marched down the centre aisle, singing the Courtland hymn as they proceeded to their seats in the auditorium. Dr. Phelps, a professor of Yale University, was introduced by the Rev. pr. Palmer for the delivery of the commencement address.
 Culture and Character" the theme selected by the speaker, proved a most entertaining topic handled as 1t was by pr. Phelps. He impressed his hearers forcibly with his own views upon the belief that culture is an absolute essential toward the life that is worth living. He paid a high tri- bute to woman regarding her lnf1u- ence upon the men who have made history, and dwelt at length upon the superior innate refinement of the feminine character.
 In the presentation of diplomas, pr. Palmer felicitated the fair graduates upon the momentous occasion and in voked the Divine blessing while every person in the hall stood with bowed head. At the close of the solemn in- vocation the young ladies held con- Gratulatorv reception.
 The graduates of the class of TO are Miss Dorothy Eardley Wilmot and Miss Marguerite Florence Wilmot, the daughters of MT. and Mrs. Frank Ash ley Wilmot of 632 Clinton avenue. MT. Wilmot is at present enjoying an European tour. and hence was depriv- ed of the pleasure of attending the commencement.
 The Misses Wilnot were very fair and sweet in Sheer white gowns made in girlish mode. Miss Dorothy car ried a bouquet of lavender orchids, her sister one of sweet peas.
 Miss Marguerite anticipates entering Vassar College in the fall. while Miss Dorothy is as yet undecided as to her further studies.

CONN, co. MAY REMOVE UNSIGHTLY
 WOODEN POLES

Relative to those ''unsightly wood en poles'' the street railway com pany has put up in front of the car barns at the western approach to the new Congress street bridge, Presi- dent M. W. Manwaring said this morning that he was of the opinion that any orders from the common council will be of no avail because the poles are upon the railroads property.
 Supt. c. H. Chapman said the company is considering iron poles in place of the wooden ones, but has reached no decision. He said that steel poles are preferred by the com pany, but because of the heavy net work of wires to be supported, spec ially built poles larger than ordinary are needed. As it would take time to get the special poles wooden poles had been used. As for the poles tilt ing over on city property, he said they would straighten up as soon as the wiring is hung upon them.
 Alderman Jackson introduced a resolution in the common council last night ordering the poles removed.

Impressive Services Al Trinity Church
South Yesterday

A large congregation attended the
services last evening at Trinity M. +.
Church South. So great was the at
tendance that nearly every available
seat in the room was filled. A fine
and spirited song service preceded
the sermon.
The pastor, Rev. James II. Billings
ley, preached from the text, Resist
the devil and he will flee from you.
He said as he read this text there
was presented to him the picture of
man standing between God and the
devil, God entreating man to do right
and the devil endeavoring to lead him
astray. Some men denied the exist
ence of God and doubts the reality of
the devil. The works of creation
prove there is God and the evidence
of Scripture shows there exists
personal devil, designated in several
places as Satan, Belzebub and Apol-
lyon. God is the source of all good,
and the devil the originator of evil.
To destroy the works of the devil,
Jesus Christ came into the world.
Mrs. Harry Medford was organist,
and Mr.. Daniel A. White, violinist.
The music was excellent and the whole
congregation sang with the spirit
and the understanding.
