High school's fifteenth
annual commencement
in Ferguson's theatre
last n'ght were exceed
Ingly Interesting anil
seemed to bo highly ap
preciated by an audi
onco that filled ovcry
scat in the house, Tho
stago presented a beautiful appearance, having
been decorated with flags, flowers and plants
by tho "B" class. Excellent tasto and good
Judgment were reflected by tho work. Tin
class numbored seventeen, olovcn being
young ladies. Members of tho School Hour
occupied soats on tho stago to tho right of th
graduates, and Superintendent Whitakor
directed tho exorcises from a seat at tho loft.
Tho exercises were of u most entertaining
character and showed marked ability on th
part nf tho graduates, who took frequent op
portuultics during tho evening to say they
realized that thoy were indebted for thel
acquirements to tho painstaking and nation
Instruction of tho teachers. Tho programme
comprised thirtythreouumbers. A summary
is given below.
Tho programme was carried out in th
following order: Chorus, "Welcome," by tho
class.
Maggie E. Palmer, salutatory, an interest
ing and intelligent rovlow of class work
Alice Lehn, essay, "Drama of life" It is
played upon tho stago and we aro all actors in
it. No ouo knows what his part shall bo.aud
tho scenes aro constantly shifting. Thero aro
certain essentials which all players should
possess : happiness, patience and love.
Tho High School Quartette, consisting of
Messrs. I'rlco, Scheifly, Keiper and Clauser,
rendered "Kobiu Adair" in a very pleasing
manner.
Lizzio Belli?, csaty, "Tho attraction of a
mirror." If wo could see ourselves as others
see us how difl'eront would bo our lives.
Harry S. Clauser, oration, "Should Negro
suffrage bo abolished?" It should not, our
duty is to elovato tho Negro, educate him and
mako him an intelligent and useful citizen.
D. John Prico gave a very sweet solo,
Koso leaves aro falling, ono by ono" and was
warmly applauded. "Norine Maurino" was
given as an encore.
Minnie Johnson, essay, "Women in poli
tics." There Is no government that can pros'
per without women and they should bo in
politics, but should not lose their work anil
go around electioneering. Women will bo
allowed to veto at some future time, and will
vote. They aro not weak mlndod and will
never soil their votes as some men do. (Ap
plauso.) Let the women bo prepared to do
their work when tho time comes.
After the class chorus "Nover borrow
trouble," wasroudored,Mlss Jennio V.Coouoy
read an interesting essay on "Commenco-
uient." Although those attending school
sometimes differ with their parents wheu they
say the happiest days of life aro spent in the
school room perhaps as tho graduates grow
older they will realize that tho parents are
right.
Mlchaol Stack, oration, "I can." Tbo
words are giants in their strength. In them
vo have tho strong arm, tho stout heart, tho
bold oye, flxed spirit and a determined will.
nouinuoi me -u can - principle lias ever
deen known to fall. "I can" Is a guiding star
to the youth ambitious to become something
beside tho Blow traveler in life and is tho
beacon life of civilization. Columbus, In
spired by It, drew back the curtains of tho
new world and created a now continent.
Tho High school quartette appoared a.
and gavo so much satisfaction that it was
obliged to sing 'The bill of fare" a second
time in addition to "The colored band" as an
encore.
waisy utM, waay, -nonie." xiio ono
place where all we hold dear exist. Its thero
where wo spend the happiest days of our
lives and whero there is ono to whom all our
troubles can bo carried. Tho homo is the
supporter of civilization and the embodiment
of true patriotism. It Is tho mainstay of
religion, for there the youthful mind receives
that religious traluing which neither tlmo
uor changes can wholly obliterate.
A duet, "Fly away blrdling," was very
prettily rendered by Misses Bellls and John
son.
M.iry llyrno, essay, "Forests and their
destruction." Tho planting of (uresis to
counteract the reckless destruction of tho
most beautiful of earth's adornment is an
important questiou and no one endowed with
any kindness can for a moment doubt It.
One-twentieth, or at least one-tenth, should
ueverhave been destroyed without having
been planted again. Three-fourths of our
forests have already bocn destroyed and If
this wave is not checked tho forests will bo
entirely consumed, Every thluktng man
should do his utmost for the protection of the
forest trees.
D. John Price, oration, "Our Government,"
Nowhere can there bo found a country which
has made such rapid progress as the United
States. It is the embodiment of all that is
best and noblest, but there Is too much irty
spirit Influencing the voters to-day. Too

After tho flnelngnf "rJoautlful sunset" by
tho class, Miss Hannah Soaulon delivered a
spirited address on "Temperance," that won
a storm of applause, and Miss Mngglo 12,
rainier followed with nn interesting essay on
"Hope," after which a quartetto consisting of
Misses Whalcu and Johnson and Messrs.
Prico and Clauser rendered "Softly the night
breezo Is sighing" with oxcollent effect.
John E. Scheifly, oration, "Should Imml
gratlon bo restricted ?" It behooves'iis as in
telligent citizens to study this question in its
minutest details. A groat danger lurks In the
franchising of foreign olcnieuts who do not
understand tho language or customs of tho
country. Let tho Immigrants come, but only
so fast as thoy can bo taught thorequlremcnts
of Amorlcauship.
Mary Monaghan, essay, "Idleness a crlmo.''
It is tho soil In which almost every wicked
uotsgrows. It robs man of his will power.
Idlo people give up their employment expect
ing tolivo upon the labor of others and think
tho world owes them a living. If wo wish to
bo happy wo must not wasto our tlm.0 in wish
ing and watching and waiting for something
to turn up. It takes Industry and onergy to
mako a way In this world.
After a racdloy and oncoro by tho High
school quartetto Miss Mary Itassler road an

"THE KIND THAT CURES,"
UCH sorrowful surprise
was caused in town this
morning by the death
of John F. Higglns.
Vory few outside of
immediate friends
know ho was 111 and
nono oxpected that his
slckncfs would havo a
fatal termination. Tho
death was sudden and tho family received a
ovoro shock from it.
Tho deceased was among tho host known
and most respected citizens of the town aud
lie enjoyed tho oste cm of all in both public
anil private life. Ho was a very tall and
iwrtly man of a strikingly flno nmicaranco,
Wh Ho his robust framo, long grey beard and
storn countenance gavo ono not acquainted
with him tho impression that ho was of a
gruff disposition, an Introduction aiwav
found him gentlo and exceedingly pleasant

Mr. Higglns was born In Tamaqua CC years
agoaudwa3 tho son of William and Alice
Higglns. When a yo ng man ho learned tho
moulding trado and was employed In Allen'i
lomiury at lamaqua for twenty years. About
sixteen years ago ho moved to this town and
embarked in mercantile pursuits, dealing in
uoots ami shoes, llo was engaged in that
business at tho tlmo of his death conducting
a reian storo ou South Main stieet.
Altbougn very iwpular and Influential Mr,
mggins nover aspired to much promlnenco
in pontics, lie was chairman of tho Demo
cratio county convoutlou when Hon. James
B. Itellly was first nominated for Congress,
sovorai years ago, aud sorved as Receiver oT
laxes for this town during 1S91-02, aud these
two distinctions constituted his actlvo
participation in politics. His second term as
tax collector was a testimonial of tho cvi
ueuco the nubile reposed in him. He received
tho Democratic nomination by acclamatlou
aud at tho spring election of 1892 received
tho full voto of all partloB.
About three weeks ago Mr. Higglns com
plained ol a pain in his side aud a week later
was overtaken by a spell of illness that con-
lined him to hU commodious aud haudsomelv

About a week ago ho was obliged to tako to
his bed, but his condition did not appear to
no Bucn as to causo alarm. He received and
conversed with soveral friends Ust night and
appeared much better than ho had for soveral
days. At midnight a change for the worst

death was pneumonia, coupled with heart

wero polled on Wed
nesday, and tho grand
total figures aro now bordering on the 000,000
mark. Great is tho tale told by tho coupons,
and greater still will it be boforo6p. m.
to-morrow.
And yet, with all tho rush and crush, and
tho pouring in of ballots, thore is no change
of positions among the leaders of the contest.
Of tho votes polled yesterday Miss Balrd
received over 50,003, Miss Stein over 20,000
and Miss Wasloy over 10,000. The poll made
by tho first named lady puts her total ecoro
close to 200,000. By to-morrow night It will,
no doubt, bo far beyond that figure.
Excitement over tho contest still runs high
,:ind peoplo aro Impatient every night for tbo
appoaianeo of tho paper In order that thoy
may see tho result of tho contest. Hundreds
of Inquiries aro mado at tho Hkbald office
during tho day for information concerning
tho returns of tho night previous, hut as such
information is sought to control betting on
tho dally rosulta aud as tho management in
no way favors this kind of speculation tho
efforts to Sicure "pointi" are fruitless. The
slip showing tho result of tho previous day's
count is kept under lock and key until it is
required at the last minute for the forms of
tho Heuald snd all seekers for information
aro turned away with polite but dotormined
negative. Many have left displeased over
this causo becauso, thoy say, they can see no
harm in letting tho results be known after
tho counts aro mado, but wo feel confident
that all intelligent peoplo will agreo after
mature consideration that our plan of secrecy
is a wiso and proper one. We recognize that
we would bo obligod to cope with similar
troubles If we issued two or three editions of
tho paper a day. We cannot encourage the
betting which has been attached to the con
test hy the eager outsiders.
Another thing; the three teachers who have
made this contest so vigorous are particular
friends of the editor of this paper and ha
does not propose sacrificing the friendship of
any of them to favor tho other. Tho contest
has been conducted as fair and honestly as
the management could possibly do It from
the start up to the present day, and that
course will not be abandoned at the eleventh
hour.
