R. His. 'Utterances Make n Profound Impression. Yesterday was the mosl interesting afternoon that tha students of the'Cni hondalo High school have enjoyed this year; and It can safely be said1 that 110 more Interesting and enJoyablo-ox- cruises have taken place In the nudlt orium of the Central school building for the benefit of the students finally loundlng out their course of studies in the city's public schools. The occasion was the exercises apro pos of Memorial Day. The programme of several musical numbers that was observed wns merely Incidental, how- JOHN M t'OfKT, "Who Gave Illinium Tull: Before Illsh School Students nnU, Numerous Vis itois. ever, the event of the afternoon being the address of Attorney John McCouit, of Scranton, who was Invited by Prof. W. D. Bryden, principal of the High school, to address thp students this Memorial Day. Those who came with the expecta tion of hearing a stereotyped Memor ial Day address, associating this belief with the clay that was being observed, were agreeably disappointed. Mr. Mc Court's address was an earnest, vigor ous talk to tho students, particularly the graduates of the class of '02, on the problems of life that confronted them. It was a sincere, forceful appeal to all his numerous hearers to avoid on this Memorial Day "this holy day" tho word or the thought that might arouse auger or hate against our foes of forty years ago; and the peroration was a grateful, warm-hearted tribute to the wearers of the Unron blue, the slivered veteians, who were before him.. Mr. McCourt's effort was brilliant, and fie most profoundly impressed the students and the visitors with his rare eloquence. Mis vigor and his force, while the old soldiers faces glowed with the kind feeling that they felt for the young orator, whose broad-minded views made an appeal tliut won their hearty approbation This was Mr. McCourt's second pub lic appearance in connection with the public schools of C'arbondale. The other occasion was tho debate In this city between the Scranton and Curbun d.ilcs High schools. This Incident was happily alluded to and discussed by Mr. McCourt In his preface, described it with n keen humor that lighted tho way for the earnest and vigorous thoughts that followed. Mr. McCourt spokes as follows: Ladles ami (iontlcmen: Just onco be fore in my career, a very long tlmo ugu, not measured by tho count of jcars at all, but becauso tho rude hand of change seems to have thrust It very far Into thu past, I had the honor of addressing the Cnrbonelala high school under ciicum stanees to different from thu present, that, as 1 sat hem, I could not help sd h'litly contrasting tho two, Dining my Scranton high school days them came, down the valley from this hehool a chal lenge to un to send forward a delegation to contest tho question as to which of the two cities was the moro miltnblei iis a home. Tho day tho Scranton high school went Into, n pqmmitto of the wholo to ihooso-tho "wnnlors three" who wui.i to lopresent them, thorn was a geuciul at mosphere of melancholy pervading tho cntlro. assemblage, because' wu felt that the .Indents' invh6ro"tn their gullelessness had no knowledge of what piofouml scholars ami causto manipulators of all hiibjects, wo were, including International complications and tho 'nebular hypothesis. And wo felt, ladies ami gentlumon, that It lias an act almost akin to tie.icheiy for us to -Inko -advantage of their Innocence. Hut, nfter duo deliberation wo enmo to tho conclusion tliat.all Is fair In love and war.'jind steeling bur hearts to overy ten der .seutlmont, threo of us wero dually selected to jntllct tho ctuel blow, Ayifh our schoolmates!, .to J cheou i&'iuuV our teachers to efllry'lia' ami bur city's ur'ch Ivcatto refresh us, wo swooped down upon tho-yioneer City, all unconscious of tho ponding disaster, uud upon tho stage of youij opora houso tho debate In duo tlmo began. A young (lady from Cnibondaln opened the controversy by solving thn clt f Scranton by its metaphorical neck uml whirling It uiound Jior head in a way Mint i positively refuso.to descilbo. Iiur fmul cf Uformatloh regarding thu faults and folblps of tho city of Scranton was (.Imply Inexhaustible. It wasn't accurate! At this late day I protest It wasn't accurate but ladles and gentlumon It was vory cf fectlyol At the end of an hour tho de bate'ended, the Judges retired and wo worn alone with a sickening consciousness that all had not gono well. "Wo ara whipped," I said to raytielf, "Wo aro whipped but the Judges will not daro to find :agaln3t us. Why If they had tho temerity to decide ,thaj Carb.gn.dalo, was mori desirable uso, homo-than Scranton '', "' llfef "" fSS Catbondale. this county would rlso In Its might and tho recreant ,1thh;os would expiate their folly In tho maelstrom of a popular re sentment. , No they won't Main to find against tin." lhlt, ladles and gentlemen, they did find ngnlimt us And thn Mum students of this school, tenderly took us down to the depot, gently put us on board tho train mid ton fully sent us back from whonco wo came. Ah 1 said lit the beginning that was u long time ago. but tilvlnl at the Inci dent Is It lauglit mo In a meuRuro to look at both sides of thing's. It taught me Mm lesson of Toleration, that lost chord In the lives of so many otherwise perfect men. Whnt I hnvo paid puts mo In mind of n time not long since when t was ns signed In ctlmliml court to defend a mnu who was charged with having been un duly familiar with his neighbor's chick en coot. t defended tho prisoner so very well that when thn Jury went out I turned to the defendant and told him to make some arrangements to pay me -for my services, lie suld h;j had no money but that he would very cnslly get work when hu obtained his freedom mid I ac cordingly ceinuncneefl to draw up an or der on his prospective pay. Hut while t was writing the jury came In with a ver dict of guilty and tho Judgo after re marking Mint my client had been very properly convicted sent him to .inll for nearly n year, nut as Hamlet says, "Something, too much of tlilsl" As we stand hero upon the Mirchold aC tho rnie ii ml rmlltuil mouth of June, a mouth dedicated to the brldo and tho sweet ghl graduate. Mm month when the school bell hoars Its mandate to be silent, u silence for some of you that means but a brief and welcomu forgetfulness of hehool tasks but for others n sllenco that Is neither "nuf wolderselm" nor "an re -voir" but "good-bye" and "good-bye" for ever." As we stand upon that Mitcsliold then, surely It Is neither amisi nor premature to extend our sincere congratulations to those who aro about to take their diplomas and go out Into thu world. H In far t'lom my intention to talk to jou pros pective graduates upon what must be to uil now the veiy threadbare sulilect of duty. Since your lisping childhood an endless lino of teachers luov been point ing the word "Duty" at you miuii as Hobfu Hood pointed his arrow nnd I for one am thoroughly satislled that the dart long klnce struck home. As 1 said I feel strongly the appropriateness of congratu lations only, t feel that the mature men and women assembled licie need no assurance from me of the fitting manner in which you lircMpcclivc gi initiates must necessarily hnvo sustained yourselves. Tint It there are any hero present who need such ns Hinance, to them 1 would say that, tho student, whether his shining morning fate boars tho Impress of the ruddy kiss of strawberries from the hill or is sicklied o'er by thu pale cast of thought, wheth er he woais a rap and gown or carries n broken slate, he has triumphs and trlaln that are as poignant and numerous as they nie peculiarly his own. Many iflf them may bo Imaginary but they are none the less Intense. None of your students are very o'd. yet measured by the length or brevity of your lives, which ever you choose. It Is a long time, a very long time, since with heni ts going pltly pat you first darkened the primary school house door. How manv student lads and lassii s have u stood shoulder to shoulder with since as the years went by and you advanced rdep by stop and where are they now? Some lay down by tho roadside, romp went to chiifo lalnbows and wlll-n'-tlip-uisp, some grew weary and straggled to the rear and still othcir. went n sailiuE with the gilm ferryman whom all muit know. For after all the disciplining of the mind Is half the game of life and it is not sur prising that many push the game away fiom them and say It hi not worth tho candle, lint you a chosen few among the hundieds have passed through the Hood and Held of your labors. You are here! and that Is what I meant when 1 spoke of congratulations. You, ladles and gentlemen, of the clavj of JOOJ. have. 1 do not doubt, begun to live though a bi let pcilod of sweet conceits. It Is tho prerogative nl a gi.iduale to believe that tho wotlel gyia'tea around him. It ia a dream that will pass away, but none the less his prerogative. Fur the next few wee'-n you will be walking ns on violets tliinugli a coil of fairv moonlight and as it vanishes you will find yourselves standing in tho cold gioy dawn of a now elay, face to face with the' world. You have been told that It is a hard world and have been duly ton Hied thereby. So on that point let mo reassino ou by suggesting that If tho world is hind, it's veiy implacability makes it all tho "bol ter whetstone upon which to shaipon your wits. Let mo also suggest to you what overy wind of tho world and wave of the sea have already told ou. "That be yond tho Alps lies Italy"; that after the sowing comes ic corresponding harvest. Do not heed tho advice of the broken Wnlsuy, do not fling away ambition. Conjure up an ambition, mould it into an Ideal, nnuilsh It and If it be n worthy one, grapple to it with hooks of stool. It will bo your star at midnight, your au ehor In tho storm. Tt mnv carrv vou across tin; Alps of opposition to thu Italy of your dreams. There you may snatch your "buys" and who knows, some of you may chisel your names upon thu Par thenon of enrthly greatness. Furthermore let niii gugacit to you Mint you lend good books, look fairly' on both sides of a question nnd be ever and otoi nally paitlsans. Tho world thinks moro of a man who believes and nns the moon is nmdu of cheese Mian It does of the man who has no opinions whatever concernlm; Its composition. Tor If your views are false In tho beglunlne, If Vour heart is open and your mind I clerr, experience nnd nttlltlon will tear dovn youi fallacies and nourish mid r.ti"nrt:ei your login until your gospel will point vllh as much constancy toward Mm abiding liutli as docs thu needle of the compass toward the pole. Pay no heed to tho e-ynle who dolefully complains that success Is as a e'ast of thu dice', frowning on mnny ami smiling on few. Surely that in not true, In tho grand and broad sense of tho word, success awaits those who leunh out for it. hive strenuously, strive as hard us you 1'iin and as long as you can. Chorlsh your good nnmi) uubt'enthed upon anij thon whether you sweep over thu rani. parts, sink on Mm slnpa or fall fainting In the moat you will have attained Mm fullest measure of success In Us lirotd est meaning. THE RIGHT STEP. Every ordinary cold deserves serious attention. It is only a step from it into grippe, pneumonia, or con sumption; and it is only a short step the other way to cure the cold.

But whether the cup with swcot or bit' ter run, even though, as tho fires of your youth grow fainter nnd fainter behind you the rentes of fame and prosperity loom higher nnd dimmer before you, over and always shake your sword In the faces of your 'foes and defy thpm In tho words of our good old long-nosed friend, Cyrano de Heigcine, "All, 1 know you all my nncleitt enemies, Cowardice, Hypocrisy. Piejiullco and Dastardly Intolerance! that 1 should cotrio to terms with yoltt Never! I'll light you, fight you always." Hut, ladles uud gentlemen, If standing on Mm threshold of tho mqnth of Juno has made It appropriate) for mo to say what I have to tho coming graduates and to thu high school pupils In general how much more appropriate Is it, on this tho ove of Memorial Day 10 lay an humble wreath of lovo and nffcctlon upon tho holy du.it of our country's deathless dead. Tomorrow from tho tossing pines of Maine to the plumed palms of Florida, from whero tho statue of liberty throws Its welcome light across tho At lantic billows to whero the Golden (Into lifts Its brow from tho whis pering waves of the Pacific, the American people with one accord will thrust from them tho sordid pursuit of wealth nnd place and power, will turn their backs upon the treasures of earth which the moth and tho rust consume, to do most leverenl homagu to tho Im mortal memory of our country's bravo and to tell onco moro the story nnd tho glory of the fallen of tho fight. Tomor row, from tho sunny prairies nnd from Mm, shadowy forests," from tho wind swept hillsides nnd from tho sheltered valleys, geutlo hands will gather tho fairest dow ns, willing feet will beur them to Mm nation's churchyards, loving hearts will scatter them upon the heroin dust that was once perfection and tender tears re fresh them as the celestial dews of thu paradise of God, Tomorow Is morn than a holiday. It Is a holy duy. Let no chutp orator raise his voice tomorrow to brcatho profane words of hate and anger against our foes of forty years ago. On the battlefields of the south, whero the? great grey gigantic hosts faded away before tho onslaughts of tho boys In blue, whero the hnndsome, dashing southern "cnvnller" succombed to tho cold, aseotlc northern "round head," where brilliant Virginia broke be fore stubborn Pennsylvania, there thn Grand Army of tho Hepubllc learned to respect and admire their brilliant foes and for any ono of another generation, with windy stisplrntlon of forced breath, to call forth from tho tomb of oblivion the? hatred of the past, for anyone on this day to needlessly reopen old sores by casting Into the lo"th of tho south the charge of "treason." are gulltv or an In sult to the dead to whose memory to morrow is dedicated, are guilt of nn In sult to those of tho living who fought that war with steel, are guilty of the very charge they nre Inveighing against nn effort to disrupt tho Union, and lastly are guilty of a general cheapness, against which, students of tho hlsh school, I would nrivl-e you to beware. Tomorrow I? Memorial Day. . day of tears and lovo for tho blue and tears and lovo for tho grey. I.ate line summer afternoon I walked through the white 'gate of Arlington ceme tery and stood before that grim and pro s.'i'e record upon which the war depart ment linn sunimail7ed the majesty and beauty of that quiet spot. fulled States Military Cemetery, Arlington. Intciments '. ll.L'Iii Known 7.1!'P Unknown 4,ti77 Around me as I stood alone nmld.-f the myriad dead lay the lengthening Hiadows of the trees and the vanishing lines of the graves. Delow me rolled the Poto mac and far beyond leiomed the oily of Washington In the gold light of tho sot ting sun. Over it nil wns a hush, a pon" and a bilenco. At my feet left slaudln; against a mie.hty oak was a simple sheet of bronze halt bidden in the waving giars.-s. As I stood Micro in the shadows of the giavo lost in nn Idle ievi-r!u T carelessly thrti"t aside wtlh my foot tba lohg grass and disclosed, -o deep cut In the Inonzc tablet as to defy all the ef facing influences of tlir.o, the keynote of tomonow, In the melodious lines of Theo dora O'llara's lmmorlnl edoglae: "Nor Vi'iH:, nor change, nor winter's blight Nor times remoiseless doom Shall dim one ray of hol;( light Thut gilds youi gloi Idas tomb; Xor rhiill you glory ho foigot While Fame her record keeps. Or Honor points the hallowed spot Wheie Valor piouelly sleeps." Burely, surely r bared my hc.nl and abandoned n eveiy thought to the crumbling dust about nn-. not in pity or in sorrow, but In awo and admiration for tho great things they had wt ought and a llfo like theirs. in the language of n very gicat Ameri can orator, -let you and nto take out places In spirit by the lden of those men whoso memory wo celebrate tomonow.
