For two years The Star has ad vocated the removing of big hats at publlo gatherings, and" of course we commend the ladles of .the Helping Hand for the step they have taken, and hope the time Is not far distant when big hats will not be seen in halls and churches after the exercises begin. The removing of bats may prove a trifle inconvenient for the ladles, but it removes a great annoyanoe from people who ebanoe to get behind jt big hat. Baccalaureate 8ermon. John H. Harris, Ph.

Dr. Hnrris selected his text from Mat. 28: 20, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." His sermon was a masterly one. It was one hour long, but under the sound of such an Inspiring and uplifting sermon the sixty minutes quickly passed away. He spoke of gl vt ng 1 ibrarles, fon n tal ns, statuary, &c, to towns or cities, and said it was not within the power of every person to make such gifts, but he said tho grandest gift to a town or city Is a pure and noble character, which lies within the power of all to bequeath if they desire to do so. Those who heard Dr. Harris' sermon, If they gave it any thought, could not help but feel that a noble life is worth striving for. Highly Respected Lady Dead. Mrs. Mury Anna Emerlck-Welser, wife of E.

M. Dean I make the following statement: Dr. Harris' time here on Sunday 'last was not ongaged by mo beyond the morning address. After tho baccalaureate ser vices Dr. Harris' time was entirely at his own disposal. I hod made no agree ment with my brethren of the Metho dist church beyond saying that I would use my Influence to secure Dr. Harris for them in the evening as a partial re turn for tholr kindness in giving their church for the use of the public schools. My Invitation, to Dr. Harris to preach for the Methodist pastor was declined by him because he had previously made an engagement with Rov. Dean. After the arrival of the speaker on Sunday murnlng, Rev. Dean, tho matter being entirely in his own hands, very kindly released Dr. Harris from his promise, at my request. I regret to hear that Mr. Dean has been misrepresented and trust that all concerned will see that there tsnocause for 111 feeling, misunderstanding being largely the cause of the conflicting re ports.
