Kscsrptt el the Irodnctie of These ct II Oiadnates Who Toek I'art In the fiercl.es. The falutaterlaa was Miss Mary H. Byrne, who, after a brief English address, in which she said the class hoped te make the entertatnment a pleasant one, she de livered In German a sketch et the rooiarka reoiarka roeiarka ble life of Judas Maccabaus, as nanated In Hely Writ. Mies Byrne Bhowed berselt te be net only an excellent German sobelar, but a carelul delineator of the character of the great Hebrew general. "Hall a leaf Is better than no bread," was the theme of Jeseph K. T. Gray. The pur port of his address was te show that persons In all siages fit life should de the best tbey can. If tbey cannot get te the front they can at lesst try te get there. The speaker mentlonel Franklin, Lincoln, Grant and ethers who began tn Iho lower walks of life, and who had werked their way te the highest eminence. Though all may net be able te reach the highest emiuence, they may by proper etlert reach a decent emi nence, and net a bait leaf where a whole one Is net attainable. Conslder the Lilies," waa the subject of a well delivered essay by Mlrs Ecuma Auzer. Sbe said that I'rovldenee had scat tered this lone llewer all ever the world. It la the emblem et youth and lnnoceuee and purity. Our Hvei should be se spent that when our time comes te die we msy leave bthlnd us the record or a well spent life. "The Evolution of the Belar Hjstem," was the subject or au address by Kugene 1. Cehe. The jeung orator clearly outlined the nebuleuB system et ustronemy as recog nized by modern astronomers, and argued that the vaatness and lmmense spaces et the universe clearly proved the existence of an omnipotent Ged. "Half Help" was the suijfct et a well written essay by Miss Annie M, User Belt help is the best help ; It should be the object of each one of nste carve out our own destiny. Sell help enables us te suo sue suo eeed where we otherwise would lalL Many et our presidents and ether great statesmen and scholars were self made mea,jiie worked themselves te the front from the farmhouse and the workshop. Help from ethers Is valuable, but self help is invaluable. True Heroism " was the subject et Her bert U. M tiler's address. After referring te the heroes rf Greece and Trey, the speaker Mid that JullniCteiar was net a true here b eeause he waa selfish and ambitions. The speaker referred te many true heroes among the early Christians, the middle age and In modern times. ' A. vision or fair woman " was what Mlsa M. Graes HofJmelertalkedabeut. The galaxy Ineluded Helen otTrey, Cleopatra, Florence Nightingale, Dorethy Dlx and etheta. Jeseph U. App'.e delivered a very In teresting aketeh of the life of Koseoe Conk Cenk ling, whom he held up as an example for the young te fellow. Sunless Cities ' waa the subject of Mlsa AnnaC Shaab's essay, and ahe gave a very Interesting account et these who go down Inte the' mlnea and live for a long time without ever seeing the eun. "The Voyage of Life" was a pretty sketeh delivered by Abram Adams, The sketch carried bis subject from the cradle te the grave, and pointed out the many ilia and temptations he is subjeel te, especially in youth, where Intemperance is the beast ting sin. Beeks In the Kead te Happiness" waa the subject of Mlsa Alda Free. Theeasaylst held that true happiness csnnet be obtained exeept by these who endeavor te make ethers happy. A eheerful mind and lov ing heart la a anre read te happiness ; and a love et the world and a fear et man aie reeks In the read, Elmer Ream delivered a well composed auuress en "The Destiny et America." whleh he claimed would eclipse all natlena of anelent or modern times. Unlike the nations et Europe we have no standing armies or war taxei te eat out the substance et the people. The "Menree doctrine" Is se firmly established it Is no mere talked about ; the annexation et Canada Is only a question of time. A very senslble and well delivered cs3y was that of Kmma E. Smallng entitled "Weman's Sphere." The young essayist aid that a period humanity did net exist in either box, butenly In the union of the sexes. Each of these has its sphere of action, its m)sIen of duty. Women's mission is In the family and the home as wife asjd mother. Her's Is te minister at the fountain of life at the bedside or the alck and at the grave. Kendlg U. Bare delivered an address en the Aberlglnsl Amerlean race, in which he claimed that the American Indian la proba bly a mixed ree, oempoaed of Scythians, Nerthmen, and the lest tribes of Israel. He made use of recently discovered ethno logical facta te prove his position. " Great Results of Llttle Things," was the tltle of an essay by Miss Katie A. Uuber, Thore are little pleasures In every path way, but in scanning tbe unbounded hori zon we overlook them, and are apt te lese the pleasures at our -very doorsteps. We read of great battles and give the great generala In oemmand the credit ter the victories, overlooking the heroism of tbe private sol diers by whom the battle was wen. The greatest of inventions have sprung from the smallest beginnings ; mere trifles have resulted a the greatest events In solenee and art, and true happiness Is often the result of little things. " The Lessen of Hardship" wai a well considered address by Wm, P. Harding, and "The Genius of Chivalry" was clever composition by Hiram D. McCaskey. A new feature net heretofore aeen at the high school commencements waa the Intro duction of an original poem by Miss Jose Jese phine McCully, a young lady who shows decided poetlo talent Her subject waa "A Dream" In which sbe sees msny things, geed, bad and otherwise, and she asks whether she should find herself among tbe struggling mass of humanity, warring one against the ether, and she receives the answer "no." She fands the fulfilment et her destiny te be In raising humailty te a higher level, and finally finding a resting place In heaven. Luther D. Heed read the class rominic reminic rominic cenees and prophecy. It was a humorous paper In which the writer Indulged In some witty hits at his classmates and prophesied what would be the progress and outcome of their lives. He referred very feelingly te the death by drowning of Wm. E Smith, a member el tbe class, whose vacant ebalr draped la mourning occupied a place en the stage. Miss Alice Whltsen was tbe valedic torian and proved herself entirely worthy of tbe distinction with which she was honored. Her address, When 1 Waa Yeung," was well conceived, dellvered in a clear, dUtlnet voice and was most favor ably recelved. Her parting remarks te directors, teachers and classmates were above the average of Buah essays, snd her allusion te tbe unfortunate death of Wm. C. Sm'th, a member et the grain ttlag class, was very pathetic. Dr. J. P. Wlckersham, president et the beard of coUeol d'reoterr, In presenting tbe diplomas te the graduates made the fellow ing address : HON. J. P. WICKErtSHAM'S ADDRESS. 3'euncr J.aillet an i Genii tmen, Memberi of tht Uraduatinn Clan : Following a long established custom, a few parting words soeiu appropriate. First, in behalf of the beard of Bobeol di rectors, whemI represent, I heartily con gratulate tbe class and each individual member of It, upon tbe completion et the course et study In tbe high schools, the passlDg of tbe final examinations, the creditable graduating oxerelses, and tbe re re re oeptlen of the honor long looked forward te, the diploma granted te gtaduates by the beard. But, In this connection, permit me te re mind you that although you have com pleted the course of study prescribed for the blgb schools and have obtained a diploma fro tn tbe beard,you should net leek upon your days of study as being ended. Toey should neverend. Alleur Uvea may be spent in study, and Btlll the knowledge we can acquire is comparatively limited. Yeu have in finishing your high school course largely Increased your circle of light, but you can hardly have failed te see that at the aame time the elrcle of darkneas which bounds tbe view has alsogrewn pre portienally larger, xne neiu or Knowl edge is Infinite in all directions, and only an Infinite mind in an Infinitude et years can complete tne survey. Heme or you have resolved te push your studies furtnnr onward by taking a college course, it Is well ; but these of you who msy net be able le enjoy this privilege or tbrss of you who must new enter upon the mero seri ous wrrk of life, can still find time, if se dlspered, te read, te think, te acquire knowledge, te grew In the di rection of a mere perfect man man man heed or womanhood. Kemember the greatest scholars the world everBresslf- tnaar. ncnoeis ana colleges are vaiuauie aids, but no one ever accomplished much who did net In tbe main make himself. In tbe race of life success comes etteneat te tbe man who has learned te row his own beat. Let your graduation today, then, simply mark for each of you the end of one stage et progress in learning, and at tbe same time the beginning et another and a longer one. It may be well, also, that von should be warned against tbe error et thinking that knowledge Is the cnief end of education. Yeu have made no mistake In striving te become scholars. Ged himself, metblnks, must smile upon the efforts of these who labor te acquire a knowledge et tbe things of His creatien and the laws that govern them. But education has an end even higher than scholarship, it is Intellectual and moral growth, the formation of character, the shaping of life. The men and women about us who Impress themselves most upon society, who are Its leaders in business, In tbe work of human advancement, In church and state are men and women of mark, et character, of mental and moral power, Tbe greatest men and women et tbe world, these who make history and of whom history speaks. are meat et all men and women who can de as well M tbink, men and. women whose force of character shaped the times la whleh they lived and left their names engraved ea the tablets or tbe ages. In all your getting of knowledge, therefore, strive te grew stronger Intellectually and morally, prepare as best yen can te act a noble part in life, te make the world better for your having lived In It, te tight brave battle for the right I have br en reminded that It Is Just fifty ? rears since the common school system went nte operation In tbe city of Laneaster. This I", therefore, our semi-centennial year. What thousands of people have been edu cated In our schools In these fifty years I What a world et geed tbey bave accom plished! What a power they have become aa an agency in lifting up te a higher level tbe whole structure et society I What a privi lege te child, te begin a oeurse of study In one of tbe primary schools ; and, without money ana witnent priee, ascena oontin eontin oentin uoiiHiy, step by step, through eeeh higher grade of school, In turn until be graduates in honor, as you de te day in our high sobeol'. The progress made In the school sflalrs of the city In tbe half eentury that tbey have been In operation la very remarkable. In 1S.13, tbe number of ebllJren attending the common schools was less than a thousand j during the past year the number en tbe rolls reaehed ever four tbeussnd. The number or teachers his increased from alx teen te seventy-seven. Tbe psy roll was then abent ff 00 per month, It la new well nlghH.OOO. In 183S, very little prepsrty, if any, was owned by the beard, tbe prop erty owned at present Is valued at about a quarter eta million of dollar These are striking signs of material progress, the progress nas rjeen even greater in the etn etn cleney et tbe system. The teaching, the vital work of the sobeol, Is vastly better done than in by-gene days. Thn roaeola are better graded, better classified and the course of instruction has been broadened and deepened. Above all, at the head of the ajBtem, as Its crowning glory, baa been placed our excellent high schools whose trults we have before us In your class to day and In tbe elasses tbst bave preceded you. Yeu who bave trod the paths of learning, as they lead through tbe high schools, knew te appreciate tbe value of sueh schools in a system of public education. Hew much of new truth you have come te kuewln your four years conrse In these soheols I Hew much of new beauty your eyes bave been opened te I What new light has been shed for you upon nature, upon art. upon human lite I Hew you bave grown while pursuing tbese higher studies, mentally, morally, and In all that appertains te true manhood and womanhood I Hew peer you would feel te day were you te be stripped of all these rich acquirements I And yet there Is at least one man in thlB commu nity who still cries out against high schools. Strange as it may seem, some days since one rf our newspapers commenting edlto edlte edlto tertally upon these very commencement exercises, msde the statement, In substance that high soheols bad no placn properly In a common school system. Oa this plat form and before this audience, this state, ment should be met by tbe most positive contradiction. Oa what faneiful theory of government or of public education tbe editor based what he said we are left te conjecture. The fact Is high schools are connected with every public school sys tem existing In this oeuntry or abroad. It baa never been otherwise. In Pennsylva nia high schools grew up as soea as they could be organized after the common school system went Inte operation. Our own are an example. Sueh schools were contemplated by the founders of the system and bave always been organlo erganlo organle ally connected with It. They are provided for in tbe earliest laws, and their establish ment has been advocated from the first by every prominent friend of free schools In the oemmonwealtu, A man opposed te common schools Is necessarily opposed te high soheols, but wbst ground there can be for saying that high schools are no proper part of a system or publloedncatlen in view et the facts Just stated it Is difficult te Im agine. But be net alarmed. The high schools are In no possible danger. They, stand firmer than tbe pyramids. Yeu can, therefore, safely cherish your alma mater as a perennial fount of learning which, as she has blessed you, will continue te bless youth like you for ages and ages te come. Strengthen her with all your power, en large her usefulness and honor her by leading liven of virtue. After the singing of the doxology the benediction was proneunoed by Ilev. B. b Alleman and tbe large audlence was dis missed. THE MUSICAL TAnT OF T1TR IMtCOrt A.MME. The vocal musle was under the leader ship of Prof. Carl Matz, musical director or school, and was et a very high order,as will beseen by reference te tbe pregramme. Tbe execution of tbe several pieces by tbe graduates was qulte perfeet, the voices In the choruses being Btreng and full and the voices blending finely. Tbe sole "Theu'rt Like Unto a Flower," by Nellie F. Llppeld, and the dnet "I Would That My Leve" by Mamie M. Berner and Mary C. Hartman, showed that their naturally geed voices bad been highly cultivated. The sole "Theu art Besting en Thy Pillow" by Ktther M. Ken dig, was also of high merit. Tbe concert variations en tbe Carnival et Venice (arranged by Benedict), sung by Miss Flera J. Hener, showed that the young lady bad a wonderfully flexible voice that had been earefully trained. Prof. Matr. may take pride In the musical profielenoy of bis pupils, as the large audience present eartalnly took pleasure In their perform ance. The Instrumental musle was under the leadership of Prof. Crl Therbabn, who ban de voted the organization of orchestra, which la following performers Metzgar, Bertha Best, much time In the high school composed et the : Violins : Edith Allea KahnCH'-oek, Clara Ruth, Frank H. Loen, Luther O. Keed, Carl F. Rengler, Jns. II. Apple, Charles K. Welcbans, Frank K. Hurst, Walter B. Mo Me Caskcy, Wm. H. Herr, Merris Leeb, Cbas, L. Marshall, Btewart Tuerbabn ; cornet : Jehn A. Hprenger ; clarienet : Tbea. Therbabn ; trombone : Ed O. Khy j fiute : HI nun P. McCaskey ; drum : Frank K. Hurst ; piano : Fannie Therbabn. Te say that the young muslelans ' did well " Is but light praise. Tbey did excel lently well, and were loudly Applauded at the end et each selection, l'ref. Therbabn Is net only an excellent teacher, but he has done much te advance a taste In this com munity for musle et a higher order than we bave generally had. He deserves te ba en couraged In hla efforts In tbls direction. COMMENCEMENT NOTES, The present high school clan Is the twenty-third that Mlai Hirali U. Bundell, prlnelpal of tbe girls' high school, hse graduated, The total number et pupils graduated In the twenty-three classes Is four bundred and twenty-four. Miss Bun dell's record is a remarkable one, Tbe high school orehestra will furnish musle for tbe Alumni association, which holds a mealing In Eihiemsa's hall this evening. At no former commencement did tbe girl graduates leek se well as tbey looked today. There was no ever dressing; no attempt en the part et a few te outshine the ethers; no long trains te entangle the feet andBweepup the dust or the stage; no avalancbe et flowers te delay tbe exerciser. Tbe entire class was tastefully attired In dresses of moderate lengtb; most of tbem plain white with pretty trimmings; a few were pink and blue Juit eneujrU te give a geed eflect te the ethers. All looked well. We believe this Is tbe first tlme thst tbe diplomas were ever given te the graduates by an ex-superintendent et public schools. That gracious duty was performed te-day by ex-8uperlntendent J. P. Wlckersham. At the close of tbe exercises while tbe audience was passing from tbe hall, tbe boys en tbe stage presented tbelr principal witn a handsomely-bound a bandsomelv-beund copy of the Bible. Mr. Mct'aakev. thanking the bev. sild, "The book you give me Is the one I knew best In childhood, tbe one I have eared for most In manhood, and In Its pres pres enee I am willing that all ethers shall pats away in old age." nrada et raptla. The following shows the relative standing grade of pupils by classes In attendance at the boys' high school during tbe year Just closed.

Allen G, Thurmanef his nomination ter thovleepro, sideccy, arrived In Oelumbus Thursdsy morning by a special train. 1 here were 41 in the party. Ineluding several roeraboTra of the national committee. At 1 o'clock the committee, csoerted by a oemmittee, were driven te the Judge's residence and Informed tbetr offielal duty. The oemmittee was received In the par lors of tbe Thurman residence Chairman Oelllna very briefly stated tbe object of tbe call, when Charles J. Jacob, mayor of Louisville, Ky., read the formal letter of notification. It waa signed by all the mom mem bera of the oemmittee. Addressing Judge Tburman, he said : 'Yeu embrace the highest type of Amer ican citizenship, and no matter what tbe erlsis might be the government would be safe in your hands. Imeply, Judge Thurman thanked the oemmittee for their ceurUsy. He wss pre feundly grateful for tbe nomination, be cause It waa unsought and undeslred by him ; net that he under-estimated tbe dis tinction, but he had ceased te be ambitious for public honors. The country Is honestly governed, he said, and tbe Interests of the oeuntry required Cleveland's reelection, and the hope that he might contribute te tbls result had Its Influence In inducing him te accept. J udge Thurman expressed himself as being in favor of reducing tax ation, se that a surplus would net accumu late In the treasury, whleh he believed te be a great danger te tbe institutions of the oeuntry. He was frequently applauded. An informal reception followed, in which Mrs. Thurman participated. The commit tee left for Washington at 7 p. m. 0,000 DBMOUItATS ICAT1FV.
