On the face of each one of the more
man six hundred people who lllied WelamVt
Opera 1ouse Friday evening, tho occasion
ot the sixth annual commencement exer
cises of our high school, was plainly written
eager anticipation and pleasurable In
terest. To the sweet strains or a delight
ful musical selection by the Lehlghton
Orchestra the graduates .entered and as
sumed their positions on the stage which
was beautified by Moral decorations. From
the top, and across the front ot tho stage,
hung In large letters the class motto, "Non
Nobis Solum." The exercises opened with
well-executed piano solo, "Say not Fare
well," by Miss Ella Fink, a promising mem
ber of the class of '01, which was followed
by scripture reading by Miss Lizzie Lentz
of the class of '02, and prayer by Rev. J.
Kuder, of Trinity Lutheran church.
Shining to night," a grand chorus, bv tho
nigh School, filled the largo hall with an
entrancing burst of melody. The Saluta
tory, by Jflss Jaude Wheatley, was short,
pertinently appropriate and rendered in an
easy graceful manner, reflecting much
credit on the young lady; following a se
lection by the Orchestra, Chas. D. Mertz
delivered an oration, entitled "Nosce
TelpstTm," which was morn than creditably
rendered and well received. "Pleading
with The," a chorus by the high school,
was followed by a round of applause fully
indicative of Its appreciation by the audi
ence; "Non Nobis Solum," an oration by
(iranvtlle C. Clauss, showed, earnest pre
paration, care and matter of fact In the
whole and was olearly and Interestingly
rendered; a modley by tho Orchestra
brought forth a round of applause and was
followed by Prognostications on the future
of the class by Miss Sallle Gabel rendered
In a clear and charming manner the b right
hits on the members of the class were re
ceived with evident good humor. "Making
Melody," chorus by tho school, filled the
hal! with a melody which re-echoed
graceful cadence long aftor the applause
died out. "LIfes battles and heroes," by
Albert J. Dnrllng, was a brilliant effort
and a success, being excellently tendered
and heartily received. A choice musical
selection by the Orchestra was In turn fol
lowed by a class history of "Our school
days," ky Charles A.Bowman, This oration,
showed marked cars in composition and
expression and reflected much credit on
the young speaker. A solo, "Don't say
told you," by the people's favoilte, Katie
Durllng, won for the little singer a heirty
encore. "Forward rather than Backward,"
an excellent oration, well prepated, sound
and clear by Samuel P. JUiller earned for
blm a round of applause, An Orchestra
selection was In turn followed by an oration
by 'Albert Bartholomew on "ResponsI
billty," which was logical In Its prepara
Hon and clearly and well rendered,
piano duett by Granville Clauss and Chas,
Bowman, was nicely executed and was
followed by a German oration, "Der werth
der erzlehung," by Edgar P. Xnder, Tl
expression was good and tho production
qnlte creditable. An essay on "Patience,
by Miss Etta Drlssel, proved the youn;
lady to be the possessor of rare ability as
reader. The paper was clear, sound and
logical and the hearty applause followed Us

audience. A musical selection by
Orchestra and J. Edgar Qonierv delivered
the Valedictory In an a.ble niul pleasing
manner, Tho presentation of the diplomas
by Dr. C, T. Horn, presldeut of the school
board was also made an event at much
pleasure, particularly to the graduates who
smilingly accepted their well earned parch
ments with an inexpressible pleasme. In
store for Prof.F. J. Stettler was also a neat
sin prise when the genial doctor all tiuller,

I dealre lo make a brief explanation.
Several days previous to the opening of
the last sealed proposals, Mr. Coon, (the
old gentleman) called to see me, and In
formed me that he could, on account of
haying bis own crusher and easy access to
an excellent quality of stones, build us a No.
1 road, with all citished stones, for a trifle
over two and a half dollars per foot. This
was the first knowlcdgo I had of an all
crushed stone street, and It being contrary
to the specifications, Mr. Coon agreed to
draw up temporary specifications, explain
ing how he would mako the street, to
gether with the cost per foot, and send It
in along with his bid on tho regular
adysrtised specifications. As secretary, I
told him that we wanted to get tho best
street possible for tho least money, and
would bo pleased for him to do so, and I
would submit the same lo council for con
sideration. Tho day following, Mayor
I.elir, of Allentown, who Is in sumowav
connected with Rclnsmlth & Vcagcr, and
Yeager Jt Co., contractors, of tho aboy
city, was in towti looking up Information
on the last change In tho plan of the street,
and dropped In to see me. In the presenco
of our Street Commissioner I asked him to
glye mo his candid opinion on the differ
ence of the street proposed by Mr. Coon and
the one according to our specifications.
Ho was decidedly In favor of tho ten inch

hosiery "out In the country."

crushed stone.and said emphatically that It cellent reputation as a first class teacher,
would bo the best genuine macadam street.
Accordingly when Council met on the
evening of June 0 to open and consider the
sealed proposals I explained to them the
proposition made by Mr. Coon to mako an
nil crushed street for $2.57 per foot coni
plo'e, which would be a direct saving of 51
cents per lineal foot, aecordlcg to the
lowest bid on the regular specifications.
which was $3.08. Very little argument
resulted, further than it was said that the
proposition was not In accordance
with the specifications, which I admit it
was not; novcrlhcIess.lt was not loo late to
save about ?!i00(), by revising tho plans
and specifications for a fourth time. The
Council body knew nothing about a
macadam street, and in face stubbornly
refused to accept the opinion of an ex
peilenced man like Mayor Lehr. It was
these very fellows who raised the cry about
a sewer costing too much and pitied the
poor people, that now had lots of money to
spend on the street, and accordingly passed,
a resolution awarding the bid to an Allen
town party at &3.US. In their dispalr they
tried to make mo believe that our Civil
Englneer,L. S. Jacoby, of Allentown, gave
his opinion that an all crushed stone street
was no good. H'hat ho did say however,
was that alt" kinds and sizes of stones
thrown In at random would nuke anything
but a good road. I tried to persuade them
that they understood the engineer wrongly,

during the year 1858. He was marriad
twice, his first wife being Elizabeth (inch,
of East Pcnn township; after her death he
married Jlfary Lenti, of Stemlersyllle,
Three children were the result of the first
union, two of whom survive, Chas. lireen

Wllkesbarre; of '.he second union one son
resulted, who Is now in Nebraska. For
the past fourteen years deceased resided
