J THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1892. w SCHOOL DATS ENDED. The First Set of Graduates Bid Adieu to Duquesne College. BRIGHT TODKG MEN AND WOMEN. Thirtj-Six of Them Receive Diplomas at the Grand Opera House. AJf INSTITUTION WITH A GREAT FUTURE The class of 1892, the first class of Du quesne College, graduated last night at the Grand Opera House, and the commence ment exercises were attended by hundreds of pupils of the school and their many friends, the result being that there was no room to spare on the maid floor and but little in the balcony. All the private boxes were filled, and many well-known citizens who had been invited had seats on the stage. The stage was set as a forest scene, and the only attempt at decoration were two big ferns in the orchestra at either side ot the stage. There has never been a more charming sight on the stage of the Opera House than that of last night when the curtain as it rolled skyward revealed the members of the Duquesne Conservatory chorus. The ladies, of course, occupied the front of the stage, while the men were in the rear. The ladies were in simple, cool dresses, and were per fectly self-possessed. When Carl Better, the director, stepped to the front and the first chords of the piano were struck, and the chorus began the famous "Song of the Vikings," it was quickly seen that there was a body of truly trained singes. The song was rendered with a vim which called forth much applause. This was followed with prayer by Bev. D. Jones, of the .First Methodist Protestant church. Clever Essays ly the Graduates. The programme as then carried out em braced an essay by L. Lewis Todd, of the classical course, upon the "Assimilation of Races;" "Craze for Mobility." by Miss 011a B. H. Hotham, of the normal class; "Oar Commercial Importance," by Bansom M. Day, of the business college; "Leaves From the Sketch Book of Life," by Miss Kathrvn Carney, of the ladies' literary class; "What Is to Become of Home?" by Miss Acnes Carspecken, of the normal class; '-The American Epitomized," by Miss Maude BMioff, of the classical; "Ex ponents of Political Tame," bv John H. Hutchinson, of the scientific class; "Un crowned Bo valty," Miss Mary A. Sallade, of the normal; "Are We Charitable," by Miss Mattie H. Belfore, of the shorthand class; "The Young Lady's Opportunity," bv Miss Grace Eakin, of the classical; "Dis guise of Anarchy," by George H. Kane, of the classical. The oraiions were in terspersed with vocal and instrumental music, the participants being Miss Bessie Blackburn, Morris Stephens, Alfred Rosser, Miss Sadie E. Bittf, and Misses Sadie E. Bitts, Julia E. Beach, Morris Stephens and Louis W. Critchlow, ren derine a beautiful quartet lrom "Big oletto." At this point E. M. Wood, D. D., L.L. D., President of the college,arose to confer the degrees and award the diplomas. Three Important Parties Concerned. In the course of his address to the gradu ating class Dr. Wood called the attention of the students to the fact that there were three parties ultimately concerned in the distribution of the diplomas, the State which granted the charter to the college, the Board of Direct orsaud th-faculty act ing together, while the third party are the graduates themselves. In conclusion Dr. Wood said: "And when you succeed we shall cheer you; and when you shall fail we shall sympathize with you; when you shall fall we" shall city you, but when you rise again we shall rejoice with you." President Wood reviewed the historyof the college and among other things said: "For a number of years past there has been needed in this community a good and thor ough collegiate institution. Our college opened September 4 with students enrolled in every department of the institution. Had some of the departments not been opened at all during the first of the year it would not have been an unusual thing. We had a full corps of teachers ready to take charge of the work. On January 11, 1892, a charter was granted to the corporation, a charter as lull and complete as can be granted to any institution in the State. The faculty has no superiors and few equals in Western Penn sylvania. The success that has attended the labors of the first year has been most grati fying, having enrolled over COO students. As to the question of honors, we expect to act with gi eat caution, believing that this privilege has been often greatly abused. Seeking for Sew and American Ideas. "Speaking exactly, we do no! believe in conferring anv strictly honorary degrees. We do not desire an ancient, but a modern college an American college. We do not care to nse imported and now largely obso lete terms or ideas. We believe that it is true, and it would be a shame if it were not true, that this is the brightest, strongest and grandest age of the world's hfctorv. I utter it conscientiously when I sav that there is a vast amount of driftwood that has come down to us through the channels of our college and university curricula. Out with the driftwood and let us put in the fresh lumber of the natural sciences and literature, these sciences which have unfolded their secrets so wonderfully at the magic touch ot modern science." The graduates as their names were called stepped forward and recehed their diplo mas in the following order: Classical Georce H. Kane, Alleshcnv Citv; L. Lewi Todd, liraddock: Maude BisholT, BraddocV; L. Grace Eakin, West Bridge water: Cora A. Harris, Vittsuurg. Scientific John 11. Hutchinson, rittsburg; Walter O.

The degree of Bachelor of Arts was con ferred upon George H. Kane, L. Lewis Todd, Miss Maude Bishoff, Miss L. Grace Eakin and Miss Cora A. Harris, these being in course, and upon William T. English, M. D., pro merito. The degree of Bachelor of Science was conferred upon John H. Hutchinon, Walter O. Amsler and Miss Hettie Schultz, while Miss Kathryn Carney was made a Bachelor of Literature, There was a noticeable feature about the commencement of Duquesne College there was neither salutatory nor valedictory. This is in keeping with the spirit ot the institu tion that worn out themes are not in good taste, and that it is in worse taste for a stu dent who has been coached in the work to lavish praise upon the faculty, The rooms of the college in the University building, on Diamond street, are well fitted for the purpose, but at the opening of the next season there will be added two larger rooms, one for the commencemeut department and the other for Hie conservatory of music.

New Yoke, June 22. .SperfoZ. Dan Bice, the old-time circus clown, is now in retirement, but he keeps on talking and occasionally making blufis. He said to-day: "I own 35,000 acres of prime land in Perry county, Tenn. It's worth at least $250,000, and I'll bet that land against 5100,000 cash that Cleveland will carry New York, and will be elected President it nominated." Dan's bold offer seemed to interest circus performers more than it did politicians and big money betters. One ot the performers said to-day: "I'm not much on politics, but I'm dead game for a bet, and I'll make one with Dan Bice. I'll bet 51,000 to 5500 that he doesn't own '35,000 acres ot prime land valued at 5250,000.' I'll bet him 51,000 to 5500 that he does not own a tenth part of 5250,000. It paralvzes me to hear that he otvns anything. The "last I heard of Dan was after the smashup of his cheap prioe 'old-time circus' over in Brooklyn. The Sheriff went after him then and attached the Bhow to secure the performers' unpaid wages. At that time Dan declared he did not have a cent; swore that he lost his all on the circus. I. guess the performeri who got roasted in that show will grin when they read Dan's bluff. But I'll have to call him, all the same. He's talking through his clown castor." UNABLE TO GET HABBIED. The New Tork Aldermanic Heglrm to Chi cago Canstac Many Heartaches. New Yoek, June 22. Sperfa!. Busi ness at the Citv Hall marriage bureau re ceived a severe setback when the Tammany Hall special trains started for Chicago las Saturday. Those trains took as passengers nearly all of the city's aldermen, and every one who is counted on by the City Hall shatchens. Van Pelt and Fitzgerald, to perform the civic marriages which a large portion of the foreign element of the city insist on. The Italian and Hebrew couples who had arranged to have the nuptial knot tied this week did not take into account the Chicago convention and its power to draw from the city all of the city's fathers, and hav.e made all their arrangements for ban que'ts and wedding receptions, many of which will not be held. To-day five couples, dressed in wedding finery, sat and sweltered all day in room 13, which is set apart for the work of the bu reau. Some of them came as early as 9 o'clock and remained until 5, but all the efforts of Cupid Vam Pelt and Cupid Fitz gerald to secure an alderman to officiate were nnavailing. There are but three Re publican aldermen who are in the city, and none of them could be found orprevailed on to wed the anxious pairs. His Last Sleep Walk. During a somnambulistic journey Frank McLaughlin stepped from the roof of a high Eorch and fell to the ground at his boarding ouse, No. 1614 Second avenue. Physicians fear for his recovery. It Saves the Children. Mr. C H. Shawen, Wellsville, Kan., says: "It is with pleasure that I speak of the good Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedv has done my family dur ing the last fourteen years. In the most obstinate cases of summer complaint and diarrhoea among my children it acted as a charm, making it never necessary to call in a physician. I can truthfully say that in in v judgment, based on years of experience. there is not a medicine in the market that is its equal." WThsa Mhy Some lYotnen Grow Old.

KAUFMANNS' SHOCKED TOB TWO H0UBS. The Horrible Experience ot a Man Hunt on a Live Wire. PzoKiA, III., June 22. ffwrtollr-ThU morning, between 2 and 3 o'clock people on the west bluff were awakened by the most pitiful and heartrending screams. A man was discovered on an electric light tower, 170 feet from the ground. He had gone Up there to remove some decorations and accidentally grasped a live wire. His name was". John Mahony and he is one of the oldest employes of the electno light company in this city. Soon a-couple of hundred people were gathered around, but they were powerless to help him. As he was suspended it was feared if the power was shut off he would drop nearly 200 feet to the ground. For two hours the unfortunate man re mained in this horrible condition, with the hissiDg wire catting deeper and deeper into his flesh and scalding and burning his hands and arms. Men groaned and women screamed. Men finally ventured up to his relief, but were knocked down by the pow erful current It was not until experts from the electric works reached the scene that he could be removed, when' he was gently lowered to the ground with ropes with both hands burned through. Both of his hands were amputated this afternoon, but the strain of that terrible two hours and the consequent nervous prostration will probably be too much for him, and his phy sicians say there is soarcely.a chance for his recovery.
