appearance of a magnificent parlor, whose
walls were pink and the celling white,
while in front and from slde te side an
arch wm sprung, having the motto of the
graduating class: "Perseverance is the
ey te Success." At either end of this
arch were large pyramldsef flowers, vines
and plantH, while immediately in front
overhead tiling a large key two feet long.
Leng before the opening hour the hall
was completely packed, and when the
school beard, young ladies, teachers and
speakers entered, it was with great diffi
culty they get upon the stage. At pre

"The Present," by Allle II. Holdel Heldol Heldel
bangh: The swiftly revolving wheel of
time has brought us te the close of another
school year. We welceme you here this
evening te our commencement exercises.
We are glad te soe that your interest in
the work dene in our schools is net lesson lessen
ing. On the contrary, It scorns increasing,
if we may judge by the audience here to
night. ifuX tlines during the past we have
felt that the peeple manifested little in
terest in our progress, we knew new
that the lack of intorest was only apparent,
net real. Your presonce here is an Incon Incen Incon
testible proof of your sympathy with and
desire for every thing that may promote
tb cause of education.
We stand en a narrow neck of land ; be
hind us roll the vast ocean of the ast.
Before us sweeps the illlmltabloexpauso of
the future Deth are equally beyond our
grasp, only the present is te meld and
rashinn. It is well for us that our let has
been cast in the present. Search history's
fairest pages und you will find no era te cor
respond with the present. The public
schools open wide their doers ollerlug the
means of education te ail. Heeks, and
books are scattered broadcast ever the land,
disseminating information evorywbero.
Railroads encircla the glebe, enabling us le
lly as en the wings of the wind. The'
magic wires Hash our thoughts, wishes and
dcslres with the Bpced of lightning, &i. It
is ours te bcglu the Cattle of 11 Its new. Let
us at this verv moment begin te be strong,
brave, helpful and forgiving and remem
ber that every moment et delay, takes
away something of value te us. Let us
remember that tue ene stern reality in this
world of ours Is duty.
This glorious present has been glven us
te use as we will. The royal path of llfe
is open bofero us. It lles through green
pastures, and bcslde still waters. It leads
us through sunny Holds covered with
bountiful harvests and resounding with
the sef , sweet song of blrJs. This royal
path is the king's highway, cast up
for the ransemed te tread. It is the royal
path of duly.
" mi: IAST."
Carrle L. lljek's essay : The past Is past
beyond recall. In vain we seek te bring it
back. Our regrets for misspent time are
unavailing. Ourondeavers te undo what is
already done are iutlle. 1 Juried moments
can never arise, but as travelers who are
ascending a mountain often pause and
glance backward evor the path they have
already ascended, se we in our journey up
the rugged steps of llfe pause te review the
steps already trod, trusting that in the ro re ro
trespoHlvo glance we may learn wisdom
from the past and obtain strength for the
future. The world's progress may be com
pared tethe avalanche sweeping down the
mountain side. Its llrsl movements were
almost imperceptible. Se with the
progress of our race. The first onward
movements wero feoble and uncer
tain. Only by comparing one period with
another leug separated from it can- we sce
advaucemeul. Our declaration of lndoxmd lndexmd lndoxmd
ence has been called "the 11 rst solemn as
sertion of the rights of man," butsweeplng
hack for mero than thrce centurion we Und
the sturdy English wresting the Magna
Charta from bluir old King Jehn and in
that "Keystone of English liberties" may
also be found statements of the rights of
men and mransef assuring them.
All the great inventions, overythlng that
promotes the convenlonco of the llfe of to
day, everything that rcduces the labor of
man and se makes it pessible for him te
live a better llfe is the work of the past.
Tombstones may crumble and sculptured
marble turn te dust, the voucrable cathe
dral i beceme a mass of shapeless ruins,
but the literature of the past embalmed by
the printer's art laughs at the linger of time
and is net subject te decay.
Anether lessen or the past is that all true
progress is closely allied with the Chris
tian religion j that from the bleed of mar
tyrs and the ashes of saints has sprung the
mighty civilization or the piosent.
Let us endeavor thou, se te live, thai
when lilu's day is ended u rotrespoct of our
past will bring us Jey und net sorrow and

of our deeds may say " well dene geed and

THK VAI.KDICTOIIV.
The valedictory was by Lillle V. files files
slngten, en " The Future." She said :
Tlie future, who cm knew it? It is a
vision which neither the penrll nor the
cbWelcan materialize If in our iiitense
desire te knew what miy befall us, we
summon experience, she replies in the
words efth.it eloquent orator of Colonial
days : " We have no way of judging the
future by the past, and she bids us leek
down the dim aisles of tlmn and sua that
change Is written en everything."
The streamlets swell the rivers and the
rivers themselves sweep onward te jaln
the tnlghtv ecean. And this has been the
history of our raoe. Progress has ever
been the rule in the past, and progress Is
still our watch ward.
The progress of civilization 1ms been llke
the sun. In the morning we beheld a few
rays, feeble at llrt and almost powerless
but gradually the rays grew brighter and
extend farther till at last the oil) of day
rises abeve the horizon, growing higher
and higher, mero and mere brilliant until
the whele eaith is bathed In a Heed of
golden light.
As we glance nt the history of by-geno
ages, in tue progress towards the present,
we see in it the movement of a great cur
rent, varied, It is true, in size new nar
rowing te suit the demands of the times,
again widening as the thought of the world
expands, but always sweeping enwnrd to te
.ward that great ecean or truth which still
lies all undiscovered before us.
Knowledge Instead of closing at our nj-
E reach bb does the sensitive plant, und
idlng its wealth from us, grows w ider und
mere luminous and bids us vt alt, work und
hope.
Ube great gate of the past cletes behind
us as the divine poet saw the gate of Para
dise close when the angel pointed the way
up the holy mountain and we are forbidden
te leek back. Hut hope survives and point
toward tue snauewy iuiuri',uiuuingusiaKe
up life's struggles.
MR. HtNSEL's ADDRESS.
ThtMWM address wm delivered by
30)1 Dmate
207.
W. U. Hensel, esq. II began bit remarks
by Mating that he had been asked ever the
telephone "What will your address be
about T" As the question bad net been
answered ha would new at this belated
hour, when everybody wanted te go home,
say it would be about twenty minutes.
The speaker then referring te the scene
Just enacted aald they carried htm back te
the time when ha steed en the threshold of
that future referred te se often thla even
ing. I am reminded te-night that In the
history of our common schools Strasburg
has a prominent place. Lancaster county
was very prominent In the establishment
of these common schools, but before
these were the Scotch-Irish and the Ger
man elements, which side by side encour
aged and festered a liberal education of the
masses. Mere than forty years age David
McCarter, principal of the Strasburg aca
demy, took a great Interest In educational
affairs and did much te elevate and purify
them. Education means a dreaming out,
net se much a putting lu. The leading
feature Is net the petting in, but the get
ting out. Parents, citisens and taxpayers
neglect te make these things a proper
study. Yeu cannot make the mind of
a child different from what It Is. Cast
about you and what de you see T Every
tree Is ablaze with the beauty of na
ture. Yeu see these things every season.
Ne force, no power, no secret as te hew
they are brought about Is revealed. Ne
machine has yet been Invented te de this ;
it Is Ged's own work ; his own unwritten
law. Se with the human mind. Every
child Is born with possibilities. Why net
draw thess possibilities out, develop them
and thus honor Ged and benefit man?
What is the aim of education T The aim of
life U net the mere making of money : it
is or ought te be usefulness. The end of
education is the development of true
character ; te teach man te live se as te
secure the greatest amount of happiness
and te secure eternal life. The world is
full of Inventions, but these are only me
chanical Instruments te lessen labor.
Great men and great women lived long be
fore these Inventions. There were no
printing presses te record their deeds, but
they have come down te us through the
ages and will live en. Their deeds are
lasting; their seeking and finding the
truth wero the Impelling motives. Citizens,
net railroads, make a state. Character, net
Inventions, make life. What Bheuld be the
etTect of these memorial exercises T Where
are your boys I I was struck at net seeing
the names of any en the pregramme this
evening. If you want te keep up your
high school you must properly sustain It ;
graduate the boys as well as the girls, or It
will die out. The boys as well as the girls
ma'ce up society and their part in the for
tnitlnn of true character U net te be ig
nored. Graduate the boys
Mr. Hensel's address was full of forclble
points, and was listened te with rapt at
tention. In closing this report we would be doing
a grjat Injustice theuld ve naglect te
refer te the excellent music which was fur
nished by Prof. Therbahn's orchestra of
Lancaster.
Four Strikers Ge Crazy.
Four Chicago carpenters, whose minds
have been unbalanced by the strike, were
locked up in the Chicago hospital Tues
day night. Thorwald Jehnsen, a Swede,
who was en his way te the old country,
was taken oft' a Minneapolis train. lie
was then a raving maniac, talking of noth
ing but strike, union and eight hours.
"I'll kill every man that don't belong te
the union," Is the continual cry of Jehn
Fraydenulahl, another unfortunate carpen
ter who was brought te the hospital.
Frank Black is the third carpenter that
is despondent and wants te take his life.
"I don't want te live any lenger," Illaek
said te an attendant nt the hospital, "be "be "bo
cause I can't get work. The union car
penters won't let me work and I will
starve."
William Witz Is still another victim. He
isone of the strikers and Is a carpenter by
trade. He talks of nothing but the strike
and the 1st of May.
8urrouuded lly Water.
A special from Bingham, Texas, says:
A few days age parties from White Wright,
in Gravsen county, and Savey, went hunt
ing anil fishing in Indian territory. Before
theybecame awaroef their perilous posi
tion they were surrounded by water,
caused by the recent rise, and being com
pletely shut efT from high ground, were
compelled te take te the trees. They can
be heard shouting for heln, but no one can
reach them. They have been in the troes
two days. A relief party left Blngbam
with repes and beats, but, as Red rlver is
full of driftwood, and the current very
rapid, it is doubtful If they will succeed in
anerulng help. The chances are ten te one
the entire party will perlsh.

e -THE
STATE TAX CASKS.
Decision of Judge MoPherson in Faver
et the Central Transportation Company.
Judge MoPhersen, or Dauphin county,
handed down a lengthy opinion en Tues
day In the case or the commonwealth
against the Central Transportation com-
rany, which Is in favor of the defendant,
n 1880 the company reduced the par value
or its capital stuck from 50 te $38 per share
giving tue stockholders the dlltorenco of
1 12 a share. In this case the common
wealth contendod that this sum of 912 was
In the nature of a dividend and taxable,
but the court holds that It was only a re
duction of capital.
The company's business was Iho manu
facture of sleeping cars under certain
patents ewned by It, and the leasing of said
cars te railroad companies under written
contracts. In furtherance thereof Its entire
capital stock was, en February 17th, 1870.
Invested In 110 cars, In 17 patents rights and
in contracts with 10 railway companies.
These patents would all expire before
August 1st, 1887. On February 17 h, 1870,
the defendant, by written contract with
Pullman's Palace Car company, transferred
the latter the said cars, with their furniture,
etc, and the said patents and contracts, the
consideration being that the defendant was
torccelve the annual sum of $201,000.
The terms of this contract were some
what altered by a second sgroement, made
February 27, 18S5. Beth contracts are
made a part or this finding. Fer several
years this annual sum of Jili.OOO was paid
te the defendant's stockholders us a divi
dend or 12 per cent., and tax was paid te
the state en this basis, but In 1887 it was
feared that the contract with the Pennsyl
vania railroad company, which -was
te expire lu l&Se, could net be re
newed by the Pullman Palace Car
company upon as favorable terms as
were originally granted, and, as it
was certain that the patents formerly
owned by defendant would explre, It be
came apparent te defendaut beard of
directors that, as the annual payments
made by the Pullman Palace Car company
represented capital as well as profits, it
would be prudent te set apart a portion of
tnose payments te represeni me expiring
patents and railway contracts and thus te
providea fund. te onabletho defendant te
resume Its original occupations, If this
should beceme necessary.
In 1877 an agreement was made whereby
a per cent. was set aside from the annual
payments as suggested, the Philadelphia
Trust, Safe Deposit and Insurance com
pany being the depository. Ten years
later this fund amounted te (713,000 in
United States bends, and the court regards
this sum as actual capital, net annual
profits. It becoming apparent In 1885 that
the original business of the company could
net be profitably resumed, the directors re ro re
selved as follews: "That In our opinion it
is important te reduce the capital stock of
the company by reducing the par value of
each share, and te return te the stockhold
ers by such reduction se much of the capi
tal of the company as is held or deposited
with the Philadelphia Trust, Safe Dopeslt
and Insurance company, under its agree
ment with this company bearing date the
11th day or October, 1877."
Upen this return or the (12 per share
after the reduction the claim of the state
was based.

SUICIDE OF A YOUSO MAX.
Frank It. flicker Cuts Ills Threat With
a Baser Whlle in Ills Roem.
A horrible case of suicide took place In
this city last midnight. Frank B. Ilickey,
a young man, who was well known, took
bis life ty cutting his threat with a razor
at the home or his brother-in-law, Kauff
man Deutscb, Ne. 160 East Walnut street,
where he made bis home. The deceased
was a man about thirty-three years of age.
He was a son or Themas Hlckey. who was
killed In Uie war. Ills mother, Mrs. Eliza
Hlckey, died In Philadelphia some years
age. Frank was born and raised In the
city of Pbiladel phis, and almost six years
ego he came te Iancatcr te live with Mrs.
Deutach, his sister. Fer yours he had
been subject te epileptle fits, which of late
seemed te be growing worse. He was
Kable te have these tits st almost sny time,
and, although he might net be taken with
thnm sometimes for two weeks, he was
just as likely te have one or two a day.
lie had frequently been taken with the fits
while walking along the street. He would
become unconscious and remain in that
condition for a half hour at a time. He
seemed te have great pain and bis contor
tions were fearful. His sill lotion was
knearn te his friends, and whenever he
had an attack upon the streets there would
be sorne ene near who knew him and
would soe that he was well cared for.
Something evor aweek age he was stand
ing talking losemo friends en the plank
ing In front of Hetol Lancaster. He was
suddenly taken with a fit and was carried
Inte the hotel, whero he seen regained con
sciousness. When be foil he was but a
few feet from the railroad truck. Some
times during his strnggles In these fits he
would scratch or cut his face and badly
bruise bis body. On Sunday he had the
last lit ; he was found In the yard at home
in almost a holpless condition by Mrs.
Deutsch, who assisted him into the bouse,
where he seen recovered.
On account of these severe attacks It was
impossible for the young man te held any
position, and it would have been useless
for bis friends te have secured ene for him.
He had a geed home with his sister, but
the fact that he was doing nothing soemod
te prey upon his mind. He would apend
a greater part of his time reading the
newspapers and books, of which he wss
very fend. When net thus engaged he
would at times beceme very low-spirited.
His sister noticed that he had been grow
ing mero depressed of late, although alie
did net think of any thing serious. Tues
day aftornoen be was down town as usual,
and friends who speke te him say that he
Koemcd te lie In geed spirits. In the e veil
ing be went te Mr. Deutsch's office, where
be wrote a letter for that goiitleman.
After leaving thore he walked about town
and went home, arriving thore at about
11 o'clock. He went te his room, which
was en the third fleer of the heuse. Mr.
Deutsch's daughter, Mrs. Minnie I'yfer,
occupied a room near te Mr. Hlckey'a aud
shortly before 12 o'clock she heard a gurg
ling kind or nolse in his room, such as he
made when nullerlng from a fit. She
quickly alarmed her mother by telling her
she thought her Uncle Frank had an attack.
Mrs. Deutsch ran te the room, which she
entered In tbe darkness. She ran against
her brother who was standing up, aud as
she did se alie touched against something
'in his hand which proved te be a razor.
The gas was quickly ilglited and theyeung
man was found te be standing up with his
threat cut and a razor covered with bleed
In bis hand. Mrs. Detitceh utarmed tbe
neighbors, and without speaking her
brother dropped ever upon the bed and
expired in a few minutes.
Corener Henaman was notified and he
seen arrived with Dr. Belenius, his physi
cian, and a jury composed or Geerge li,
Robinson, Charles G. Strickler, Alexander
Geerge, Geergo B. Chllds, Jehn T. Murphy

Absence Of Records On the Opening Of
Seuth Duke Street Necessitates Post
ponement Ofthe Case Until August.
The suit of Agnes Kelly vs. Iho city of
Lancaster was called for trial en Tuesday
afternoon befere Judge Livingston. This
was an action te recover damages from the
city, and the facts otitlined In the opening
were these i In 1872 Diamond alley was
widened from Church te Green streets and
named Seuth Duke street. Subsequently
the street was opened from Green street te
the Landing. Piaintllf owns the land
through which the extension runs. Be
ginning with 1875 the city allowed the
hauling of dirt and rubbish te this
point and It received the name of " Che
dump." Soen thore was a large accumu
lation and by reason of It the Kelly tract
was rendered practically usoless. Rains
wash the loeso dirt from this dump te the
Kelly land, rendering it useless for building
purposes. This laud, with a frentage of
1,000 feet, is worth for building lets I5 per
feet, and the depreciation by reason of the
dump Is nearly 110 per feet. The measure
ments made show that the dump extends
en the Kelly tract 10 feet en tbe west at Its
Sroatest width beyond the regular width or
is street, Oi feet, and en the east 15 feet,
and that one-third or nn aero of the Kelly
farm Is occupied by the dump.
The records touching the opening or Seuth
Duke street wero opened In evldenca. One
paper, showing the grade or the street as
laid out, Is missing and it was Important te
have It. The city could net go te trial
without It, as en it depends the amount or
damages sustained. Te give the parties
time te leek Ter the missing piper the case
was contlnued te the August sessions.
The suit of the First National bank or
Mt. Jey vs. Jehn H. Evans, defendant, and
Peter, llrunner asslgnoe of Jehn Evans,gar
nlshce, was attached fur trial this morn
ing. Fer the pb'nllff It Is claimed that en
June 10, 1807, the First National bank of
Mt, Jey held a nole of Jehn Evans for
11,03.1.50 and secured a Judgment against
film for that amount. Jehn S. Evans at
the same time held a nete against his
father, Jehn Evans, for $100. The father
made an assignment for the benefit of cred
itors, and from this nete Jehn S. Evans
was entitled te n dividend or 9134. The
bank issued an attachment for this amount
(9131) in the hands of Mr. Brunnar, the
assignee. On the same day the attachment
was issued, Jehn S. Evans assigned his in in in
toeost lu the $134 te his wlfe, aud this as
signment plalntlir claims was fraudulent
and was made without consideration.
The dofeuse proved that thore was con
sideration, given by Mrs. Evans when the
nete was transferred te her and that the
transfer was made bofero the attachment
was sorved. The Jury found In favor of
defendant. Smith it Kennedy for plaintiff)
Brown &. llcnsel for defendant.

TEACHING THK GIIII.S.
Tlie Curse of America Is That Women

In answer te a mether who writes te
knew what she shall leach her daughter,
Rev. T. De Witt Tulmage says in the
J.utliex' Heme Journal : This ene Import
ant and tremendous fact, my sister; That
there Is no happiiiess In ibis world for nn
idle woman. It may be with hand, It may
be with brain, It may be with feet ; but
work she must, or be wretched forever.
Thocurseor our American society is that
our young women are taught that the first,
second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,
tenth, fiftieth, thousandth, thing In their
life Is te get somobedy te take care of thorn.
Instead of that, the first lessen should be
hew they may take cure orthemsolves.
Mmlame de Htael said ; " It Is net these
writings that I am proud of, but the fact
that I have facility In ten occupations, in
anyone or which 1 could make a liveli
hood." It Is a shame rer a daughter le 1m Idle
while her mother tells at the washtub. It
is as honorable te sweep house, tuake beds
or trim hats, as It Is te twist u watch chain
or embroider a sllpper.

QUAY SHOULD EXPLAIN.
Mr. Jenks Seya into Doesn't, Ills Party
Will Ue Forced te Dump ltlin.
Frem the Pittsburg Dlipatcli, tint. Rep,
Ex-Solicitor General Geerge A. Jenks is
new a frequent visitor te Pittsburg. He
was here yesterday attending te some legal
business. He says up his way the people
are net taking much Interest lu the selec
tion of gubernatorial candidates.
"In my travels around, " continued Mr.
Jenks, " I find that the voters want no dls.
mission or past events. The people In both
parties are tired of personalities, and this
campaign must be fought en tbe real
Issues. Fer this reason they want te see
men nominated who have the tiest or repu
tations, and who will draw attention te
party principles. The Issues between the
parties are the same ss thev have been. It
will be a tar I If centest. The poeplo are be
ginning te think en Hits quostlen, even in
Pennsylvania. The demands orthe farmers
for equalisatien of taxes are something
that I haven't thought much about.
" I think the charges made by the press
efthe country are becoming soserious that
unless be disproves thein they will bead bead
verse te the Republican party. The ether
day I listened te the conversation of three
crowds of Republicans en a train, wbe
were talking about It. They didn't knew
me, but they ene and all said that Quay
must new ceme te the front and defend
hlmself, or else the success of the party
could only be attnlned by dumping him.
It is ene thing or the ether, and there is no
ethor alternative. This is net a case where
silence will prevail.
" Ne, Idldn'treadSpoakerRood'ssnocch
ea federal elections, but I have heard
about It, Yeu knew lu 1873 the Ferce bill,
which practically embodied the spoaker's
Ideas, was introduced in the Heuso. Blaine
was then spoaker, and he and Randall
unlted their strength tndefeat It. Randall's
opposition te that bill brought him te the
front and made him the leader of his party,
whlle Blalne nt the time lest seme prestige
by his action,
"The time is coming loe, when some
thing will linve te be dene with the tabor
question. Beth parlies have fought shy of
this Issue up te date, but It will seen be
forced en thorn. The strength of the parlles
depends largely en the labor vote, and as
ii veers, se win success, liem partles are
disintegrating mero or less all the time, but
recruits are also being added, The tendency
of the courts nowadays Is also te strip the
corporations of sotne of the powers which
they have assumed. The tide Is turning lu
the direction of labor, as It should."
