There Is one allowed keeper of a speak-easy who will be convicted If It Is within the power of the Men's union to effect his conviction. Till after tho trial his name must be withheld. Realizing that Mr. Sturses, the lock, stock and barrel of the prosecution, is a man of the broadest charity, he and his friends pleaded with him to Inter cede to have the charge against him withdrawn, alleging, among other things, that his wife Is In a dying con dition and that ho had closed up his speakeasy since being arrested and in tended never, never to engage In the business again. Yesterday when the Importunate, penitent and reformed speakeasy keep er called to renew his pleading, Mr. Sturges, feeling that the purpose of the prosecution had been accomplished, agreed to "see what could be done" about granting the petitioner s prayer, but deemed It the part of wisdom to first satisfy himself that the aforesaid purpose of the prosecution had been accomplished, and suggested that Mr. ex-Speakeasy-Keeper should take a couple of the Men's union agents down to his place and prove to them that he had given up the business. With Ill-disguised reluctance he con sented and Agent Wilson was Instruct ed to send a couple of men along to make the Investigation. The reformed speakeasy-keeper nnd the two detectives sauntered down to tho place and entered by way of the residence, up stairs. The detectives were allowed to wait In the parlor till their escort could go down and open the front door of the basement to show them that there was a bar room there no longer. Imagine, his joyous feelings on reach ing the basement and finding his "dy ing" wife behind tho bar chatting pleasantly with Agtftt Robert Wilson, who was seated at a table sipping a glass of .lager while ho was pasting an Identification label on tho bottlo of whiskey he had just purchased. "Took a short cut," said the agent, as he bowed himself out. "I guess you fellows can go," the reformed speakeasy-keeper called to the two men up stairs. RACES AT THE SPEEDWAY.

EVERYBODY CLOSE OF SCHOOL OF THE LACKAWANNA TWENTY-SEVENTH COMMENCE MENT HEM) LAST NIOHT. Class Consisted of Ten Young Ladies and Five Young Men Rev. Wil liam Euthey Gibbons Was the Orator of the Evening and Ad dressed tho Graduates Following the Commencement an Alumni As sociation Was Formed with Major James W. Oakford as President. The most Impressive nnd Interesting commencement exercises In tho history of tho School of tho Inckawnnna took Place last night, when a class of live young ladles and ten young men left the preparatory school fully prepared to undertake the arduous duties -and more ambitious attempts attendant upon a university education. The class, trained by Head Master W. E. Plumley, was one of the best equipped and most satisfactory ever graduated front the Institution, and consisted of the following students: Gertrude Lloyd Hamilton, Clara I..U cella Woodruff, Elisabeth Phillip?. Lucy Millham Decker, Mnlrl Kellam Shaw, Alberta Iiaymond Seamans, Thomas Archie Morgan, Uurr Do For est Vail, James Parker Wilson, Arthur James Weston, Patrick Joseph McDon nell, jr., Martin Joseph MolIUt, Jerome Rice, John Ferdinand Schneider, Percy Harrington Henry. It was the twenty-seventh nnnual commencement, nnd was held In the main school room In tho building. The room was splendidly decorated, nnd at 8 o'clock, thronged with relatives and friends of the young grdauates, pre sented a beautiful sight. The raised platform, on which .was seated Lawrence's orchestra, was a bower of wild flowers, roses and palms. The entire rear consisted of a bank of Mowers and on high were emblazoned tho , magic number "1900" In ever greens. The motto of the claisp "Know Thyself," In Greek letters, was also In evidence. All around the walls were American Hags and an abundance of foliage, and the entire spectacle pre sented was a pretty and Impressive one. ALUMNI MEETING. After tho commencement exercises a meeting was held on the first floor, of the alumni and alumnae of the school, for the purpose of banding together and effecting an alumni association. About thirty members were In attend ance, nnd the following wore the offi cers elected for the ensuing year: President, Major James W. Oakford, '79; vice-president, Walter Gunster; secretary, Mrs. Frank Lynch; treas urer, W. J. Torrey; historian, Rev. Frank J. Mllman. The commencement programme prop er was opened promptly at 8 o'clock. Friends and relatives In great number had turned out and were escorted to their seats by the dapper-looking young ushers.all members of the lower school. Promptly at a signal from the head master, Lawrence's orchestra struck up a refrain, and tho members of the class appeared on the platform' and took their nlloted seats. Rev. George E. Guild, of the Providence Presby terian church, opened the services with prayer, invoking blessing upon thr young people leaving school life and entering upon the graver responsibil ities of life. Rev. William Futhey Gib bons, A. M., of tho Dunmoro Presby terian church, was the orator of the evening, being allotcd the address to the graduates. Ho gave a thoughtful and eloquent speeclf, urging on the members of the class the necessity of choosing high Ideals In life nnd en deavoring to live up to them. He spoke of the jocular disposition to make light of the sweet girl gradu ate and happy youth, and said that to the graduates themselves, however, It Is the proudest day of their lives. "Woe unto that man," said he, "who has no Ideals, whose time Is entirely taken up by the grind of dally life. The culture and discipline you haw received at school In the acquiring of facts will be worth more to you than even the facts themselves." VALEDICTORY ADDRESS. After a very enjoyable selection by tho orchestra, Thomas Archie Morgan, one of the members of the class, gave the farewell address. He first wel comed the audience present to behold tho commencement exercises of the class of 1900. He spoke of the pleas ant memories of school and Its asso ciations taken away with them and of the breaking of ties formed and ce mented during the days of school life. Ho bade farewell to the teachers of the school and to Rev. and Mrs. Cann and concluded with a jesting adieu to the under-grads. Miss Alice Alden Knapp, a represen tative of tho under-graduates gave a fitting response, taking a prophetic strain and predicting all sorts of bril liant and roseate-hued futures for the young women and men of tho class and concluded by wishing each of the sen iors success In life, and assuring them of the best wishes of tho remaining members of the school. The orchestra here played a bright refrain and Head Master Plumley then conducted the presentation of prizes, the graduates and members of the school receiving rewards for their dili gence and hard study during tho year. For English composition tho prize went to Arthur James Weston, of the graduating class. Tho prize In nrlth- 00000000000000000 II GOUHTY SAVINGS Oil HI TRUST GOMPftNY.

On tho 9th of December, 1SCC. Colonel Arthur Long lirst saw the light of day In tho city of AVllkes-Uarre, then no more than a big village, but with a commercial prestige far-reaching In its Influence.

He declared that the class had been a most excel lent one and could bo always depend ed upon In nn exigency, nnd he hoped that It would carry with It Into future life the same energy and faithfulness which had characterized Its school life. Itev. Thomas M. Cann, LL. D prin cipal of the school, then made the pres entation of diplomas.

At tho conclusion of this ceremony and after Professor Plumley had made Feveral short announcements concern ing tho school, Rev. S. C. Logan, D. D LL, D., pronounced the benediction and the commencement exercises ot the class of 1900 were concluded. An unexpected and rather Impromptu little Incident occurred here. About twenty of the under-grads crowded on the stage and, gathering In a knot, gave three cheers first for Dr. Cann. then for the class of 1900 and lastly for Principal Grant, of the High school, who was occupying a front seat. Tho members of the graduating class then made the welkin ring with three rous ing huzzas for Head Master Plumley. The alumni met, with Major Oak ford In the chair.

It was also resolved that the president confer with Head Master Plumley in icgard to the appointing ot various committees on constitution and by-laws, and for tho making of arrangements for putting the organ ization on a firm basis. Tho meeting then adjourned to meet nt thfi call of the president. After tho commencement exercises the graduates held nn Informal recep tion nnd social, and remained In the hall for somo time, bringing their prep, school days to a close, and bid ding farewell to tho old school house with a merry dance. Yesterday afternoon tho commence ment exercises of tho lower classes wero held at the school. A spelling match was 0110 of tho Interesting fea tures of the programme, andi several Though Colonel Long was educated for a different profession, the mer chandising Instincts of his father was Inherent In him, so he prepared him self for tho duties of store life, nnd after a thorough training In New York, ho returned to "Wilkes-riarre to lift a part of tho mantle of responsibility from tho shoulders of his mother and brothers. ' Three years ago, when the great department store rose here In monumental splendor, Colonel Long was chosen ns Its resident partner, and to this ho has given his undivided at tention.
