nnd Unlvcrsltlcs--Clnss ol '97 of
tho Uieh School Conducts a Very
Interesting Entortuiumcut.
Yesterday was commencement day at
the School of the Lackawanna, Tho
class of '07 with the help of the stu
dents had transformed the Interior of
tho school buildings so that they wero
hardly recognizable. Red and whlto
bunting, flowers and ferns, tho Hags
of the many colleges to which its pupils
go, all played their part, under the
guidance of the graduating class, in
producing the change.
The pchool still observes Its old cus
tom, In spite of growth, celebrating
this day in the famillnr school rooms.
Never did the rooms look prettier than
yesterday, and their capacity was test
ed to the utmost by the friends of tho
class and returning graduates.
The entire day was devoted to the
exercises. In the morning the exer
cises of tho preparatory department
were held. They wore admirably
adapted to lllu.stinto tho growing work
of the school for young children. Class
exercises, lecltutlona and songs, gym
nastic exercises, a spelling match and
a May pole on the lawn formed a
varied and interesting programme
which greatly pleased tho parents and
friends present, and reflected great
credit upon Miss Mau Martin and Miss
Close, who have charge of the room
and conducted the exercises.
The work of the children in German
elicited special commendation from
those present, and the German dia
logue given by the childten was ad
mirably rendered.

ment began at 3 o'clock. Dr. Cann pre
sided and the orchestra of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church contributed
several selections, which added greatly
to the Interest of the occasion. After
prayer by Rev. James McLeod, D. D
the Rev. Walter Q. Scott, Ph. D., form
erly principal of Exeter academy, was
introduced and delivered the annual
address to the school. He took as his
subject, "The Elements of a Liberal
Education." It was a subject upon
which Dr. Scott is thoroughly at home,
and upon which his wide experience
enabled him to speak with authority.
His address was philosophical and elo
quent and much appreciated by those
who heard him.
Tho school address to the class was
delivered by Rev. William E. Plum
ley, A. M. He spoke as one of the
faculty to old pupils, and his parting
words of advice and counsel were list
ened to with the closest attention and
Interest.

follows: Emma L. Foster, May F. Al
bro, Louise E. Sylvester, in tho Eng

CLASS DAY EXERCISES.
Conducted in tho High School Audi
torium I.nst Night.
The class of '97 at the Scranton high
school, which will hold commencement
exercises at the Lyceum tonight, In
stituted the "class day" Idea at the
high school last evening when a fine
programme was rendered In the pres
ence of a great audience.
The exercises were on a magnlflclent
scale. Each number was supplied from'
the remarkable Individual resources of
tha class of sixty-two members, and
.there was an unmlstablc college ring In
the air.
The auditorium had been lavishly
bedecked In flowers, ferns and stream
ers of green. On tho wall In front and
Immediately over tho stage was a cen
ter piece of American flags. Round
the stage front were bunches of daisies
and laurels, and from the celling swung
green streamers. Lawrence orchestra
occupied seats below the stage front.
The class of '97, the evening enter
tainers, in the front tow, made a pretty
picture a bed of white with herei and
there o black break, where one of the
few male members of the class had
esconced himself.
P. E. Kllcullon, president of the class,
was chairman of the evening. Law
rence's orchestra began the entertain
ment with an overture. Rev. J. B.
Sweet, whose son, Charles E Is one of
the graduates, then offered a fervent
Invocation.
ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
Mr. Kilcullcn made the address of
welcome. Mr. Kilcullcn Is a tall, hand
some appearing young man, who Is a
prime favorite with his class mates.
His address was most creditable. In
closing he announced John J. Thomp
son, who responded to the number,
"Tho Class History."
Mr. Thompson read from a paper his
class history. It was, a happy effort.
The young man Is a humorist and ho
made the most of the punning possi
bilities of the names of his classmates.
President Kilcullcn then announced
for the next number a piano duet by
Miss Marllla K. Klefer and Charles
Doersam. The piece was one which
called for a great degree of artistic
execution. The applause of the au
dience warranted a second selection
but was not given.
Miss Gertrude Fellows, a charming
young lady, recited "The Minuet," to
the piano accompaniment of Miss Em
ma W. Burns. It was a very grace
ful rendering of a pretty piece. The
next number was of tho humorous
kind. John B. Hitchcock made a class
presentation. Two of the white-duck
trousered ushers carried In upon the
stage from the ante-room a mysterious
big basket.
Then Mr. Hitchcock began his Santa
Claus work. To one member of tho
class he gave a curry comb: to Mr.
Doersam, a cotton dog; to Miss Wil
liams, a leather medal; to Mr. Sweet,
some face powder; Mr. Kllcullen, the
editor of the school paper, was made
happy with a nlckle novel; Mr. Hall
received a pair of 4-year-old trousers,
and so forth.
A VIOLIN SOLO.
Arthur H, Sancton delighted his au
dience with a. violin solo. He was'
heartily applauded.
No. 9 on tho programme was an ora
tion, "Our Flag," by Charles E. Sweet.
Mr. Sweet has a decided natural abil
ity as an orator. Ills effort last night
was worthy of an experienced public
speaker.
After Mr. Sweet the orchestra fol
lowed with a medley of topical songs.
The class poem was then read by Miss
F. Grace Williams. Miss Williams, as
a speaker of English, Is refreshing.
Her diction was one of tho delights of
ithe entertainment. The poem consisted
of happy hits at the class, the last
word of each line jingling with some
other.
Leila A. Porter recited "Tom's Little
Star," a piece demanding a long range
of versatility. This Miss Porter, with
her wonderfully expressive features,
fully covered to the credit of herself
and friends.
The oration by Edward R. Hughes
on "John Greenleaf Whlttier," showed
a well developed ability to orate, and
also a better developed ability to think.
The last number was the class proph
esy, by Miss Edith Murphy. This field
had been much trampled upon by Miss
Williams, Mr. Thompson and other
previous speakers. Nevertheless Miss
Murphy was. Interesting.
THE CLASS SONG.
The class song, composed by Arthur
Sancton, and set to music by Mr. Doer
sam, was sung by the class, Profes
sor Derman leading. The boys gave
the class yell for the edification of the
audlencti Rev. George E. Guild then
spoke the final benediction, and the
audlenco filed out to music by the or
chestra. After the entertainment last night
the orchestra supplied music from tha
steps leading to the upper floors, and
rjhe young people tripped the light
fantastic for a time. The board of
control, however, are not supposed to
know of It. The first class day was a
muBnlflclemt success.
A nice sum of money was realized.
The committee In charge were: Charles
E. Sweet, chairman; John P. Hitch
cock, F. Grace Williams, Leila A. Por
ter anil Marllla K. Kelfer. The ushers
were; Willis Sweet, Charles Geary, Ro
land Rice, Eugene Cooper, Clare
Storm, John Newlng, Simon Nye, Rol
lln Car and W. J. Welsh, jr., chief
usher.

BUTCHER FRANK DAY
FINED ONE HUNDRED
Found Guilty of Having Sold Oleomar
garine for Butter.
WILLIAM LE1TNER WAS ABSENT
IIo Will Ho Given n Hearing at a
Later I'orlod-OIr. Hoomcr Tells ol
Somo Itnthor Peculiar Things That
Agent Terry Snid to Hlm--Cnsc
Against tho Ucomcrs Held Under
Advisement by.Aldormnu Howe.
The oleomargarine cases wore dis
posed of yesterday afternoon by Al
derman John T. Howe. Frank C. Day,
butcher, of 905 Capouse avenue, waa
found guilty and the minimum fine of
$100 with costs of prosecution was Im
posed. The case of Agent James Terry
against Beemer & Son, dining room
proprietors, of Washington avenue,
was reserved for a decision this morn
ing. Mr. Beemer made an excellent
defense, and In his testimony he Indi
rectly charged Agent Terry with at
tempted blackmail.
William Lletner, the huckster, could
not be found yesterday, and his case
will be attended to later.
Attorney Frank E. Boyle represented
Agent Terry and Attorney S. B. Price
tho defendants.
Tho hearing attracted an Interested
audlenco In Alderman Howe's office.
It was adjourned from tho morning
at 8.30 o'clock until tho afternoon at 5
o'clock. At that hour James Flynn, a
young man whoso home Is on the West
Side, took tho stand to give evidence
against Mr. Day, the butcher.
Flynn had been used as a "noser"
for Agent Terry. On May 21, he said,
he went into Mr. Day's butcher shop
and called for a pound of butter.
Young Herbert Day, son of the de
fendant, waited on him and sold him a
pound of "butter." Flynn paid 15 cents
for it. This butter was analyzed by
Chemist Albert II. Welles, who found
It to be the regulation "oleo."
SAID IT WAS ALL RIGHT.
Agent Terry also testified that he
went Into the place a. short time af
terward and upon entering had greeted
young Mr. Day with: "Wen, nows me
oleomargarine business with you?"
Young Mr. Day answered that it was
"all right." Ho then became suspicious
of the visitor and would answer no fur
ther questions, directing Agent Terry
to "papa."
When young Mr. Day was put on
tho stand he proved a very excitable
witness. He admitted that he had sold
oleomargarine many times, but he al
ways explained to the customer that
It was a concoction of tallow and oth
er Inviting Ingredients. He thought
that the young man Flynn had been
in the shop before, so he didn't take
the trouble to explain to him.
His father gave the same story. He
was selling the stuff not for himself,
he said, but for William Leitner, the
huckster. He handled the stuff with
out any pay whatever.
The case against W. A. and O. A.
Beemer was then begun. Agent Terry
told how he and a friend had gone In
to Bcemer's about two weeks ago and
ordered two meals. They "swiped" the
butter patties and Chemist Welles dis
covered that the butter .was pot but
ter. Agent Terry's testimony did- not
ronfllct In tho least detail with that of
W. A. Beemer who took tho stand af
terward. WHAT THE AGENT SAID.
Only Mr. Beemer referred mildly to
something Agent Terry said. Mr.
Beemer stated that Agent Terry had
conversed with him at the dining room
ofilce. Agent Terry opened the con
versation by asking Mr. Beemer If he
knew he was giving his patrons oleo
margarine instead of butter.
Mr. Beemer Indignantly denied this.
Agent Terry aaked him where he pur
chased his butter. Mr. Beemer then
wanted to know who his questioner
was. Agent Terry ioia mm. intn
Agent Terry said: "I might as well
tell you that you are using oleomar
garine. There Is a penalty you know."
Then Agent Terry mysteriously
asked Mr. Beemer If there was any
pls.ee where he could talk In private to
him. Mr. Beemer said that the olllce
was the most secluded spot In the
place. Agent Terry then disclosed his
intentions. "If you will help me," lie
said, "to trace this 'oleo' business in
this city, why"
Mr. Beemer readily responded. He
would bo only too glad to punish the
imposters. He told Agent Terry that
at 2.30 o'clock that very afternoon he
would order some butter. This he In
vited Agent Terry to Inspect.
HE WAS FINED.
Before Agent Terry left tho place
Mr. Beemer said:
"Well, m I to suppose that I am
fined, $100?"
"Yes," responded the agent.
"Havo you the papers?"
"Yes, I have," answered the Inspec
tor. Mr. Beemer said he wasn't tho sort
of a man to be hung before he was
convicted, so he didn't pay the $100
fine then.
Ho learned yesterday evening, ho
bays, for the first time, that the agent
h'as no power to collect the fine.
Alderman Howe held the case under
consideration. Beemer will likely be
dlscharccd.
THE NAY AUQS CELEBRATE.
