Girl. ATHLETES.

At Vassar College Miss Stephanie
English ran Is yards in 9 As seconds.
This equals the best 100 yard record for
men, so that Miss English appears to be
able to run three-fourths as fast as the
swiftest man. Other athletic records
were lately broliep by Vassar girls.
Among the new figures 5 feet 3 I-2
inches the best fence vault; and feet
4 I-2 inches the best running jump. As
usual, the girls poorest work was at
base ball throwing The best record
were I52 feet, while the mems record is
400 feet. Base ball is not a game for
girls, nor is fence vaulting and high
jumping.
Miss Mary f. Hartman, daughter of
the late z. H. Hartman, met Charles

marry, while he was carving her faith

into love, when he made a medallion of
her in bas-relief The wedding date has

evening to witness the graduating ex-
ercises of the elias sof 1910 The adorn-
ment of the stage was beautiful and ar
tistic, with its background of growing
plants, the only floral decoration being
an urn of white lilies placed near the
front of the stage. The high school
colors, purple and gold, were draped
overhead. On the stage sat the mem
bers of the School Board, Principal
Hedges, Superintendent Byrd and Mrs.
NJ. H. Williams forming a guard Of
honor to the members of the class who
sat Immediately in front. The chorus
girls and boys filled the wings. A bril-
liant overture by the Harmony Orches-
ira opened the programme.
1t was the old old story repeated an
nually, the sweet girl graduate and the
ambitious boy graduate, and yet there
was in the charming scene something
perennialIy fresh and beautiful, for it
was youth and hope and ambition call
ing to the future, and the heart respond
ed to it with quick appreciation. The
essays were excellent and we'll presented
and the participants showercd with ap-
plause. And oh, the flowers! Gradens
seemed to have bloomed just to crown
these boys and girls on this beautiful
occasion. A moment Of intense interest
came with the presentation of the
diplomas by President Barron. Kind
words of appreciation and advice were
given and gem of classic poetry and
prose read to the class.
The graduates were Misses Carrie
Belle Bilingsly, Mary Norton, Stella
Cameron, Hester Norton, Sadie Bill
lingsly, Hazel Cummings, Mai Rives,
Roberta Saunders, Geneva Smith, Fan
ME Jacobson, Anna McKittrick, John
c. Moncure, Irwin J. Wolff, Cyrus I.
Helm.
The closing was Superintendent
Byrd's address to the class Prophet, in
deed, he seemed when he spoke of the
Queen City, majestic of her seven hills,
her wealth and prosperity-but, better
than material wealth and prosperity, he
said, was the fine quality of its young
citizenship. Referring to the class seat
ed before him as eleven American
beauties the girls, ard three fine lusty
thorns," the boys, caused ripple Of
laughter With warning voice he told
them to be not deceived, the end of their
education was not yet. The foundation
for higher work had been laid in their
alma mater, the public school 1t was
for them to go forward now in the
beautiful quest of knowledge, cleaning
in the fields so ripe and full. The adj
dress closed with earnest wishes for
their success and happiness

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.

The comet gazers saw not the comet
Monday night more than bit of nebu
losity in the west, for it was cloudy and
unfavorable for observation, but they
saw a total eclipse of the moon, if they
watched until after midnight, as some
did. The cause of the eclipse was the
passing of the earth between the moon
and the sun, cutting off the moons sup
ply of light. The moon has no light of
its own; what we see is that part of its
surface on which the sun is shining
When the earth comes between the sun
and moon it prevents the suns light
from reaching the moon. The moon
therefore becomes dark and we say it
is eclipsed, the moon is family visible.
This is because it gets little light from
the earth, or from the eorth's atmos-
phere.

One of the ra1est and most won
derful entertainers ever seen in the
city is the "Great Barnum," the
King of Hypnotists, who with his
excellent company will open a
weeks engagement at the Fay Opera
House next Monday night.
He uses as his subjects people

through some very funny stunts.
A young man will be hypnotized
by long distance telephone, and
will sleep for fifty hours IN plain
view of everybody in one of A. Reid
& Co.'s store windows, on Chestnut

This is without doubt the most
amazing test of its kind now before
the public. The "Great Barnum" is
mystifying thousands of people
nightly throughout the iron range

one solid week, commencing Mon.
