SUCCESSFUL EXERCISES.
COMMENCEMENT OF THE MINING
ANO MECHANICAL INSTITUTE.
ISrilli.int Orations by Students nnd an
Able AdflresH by u Disti n£uili<Ml Visi
tor- NDie Yaliiuble Prizes Awarded to
Pupils— A Ltirco Audience Present.
Tho Mining and Mechanical Institute
closed its term of 1896-97 last week and
the annual commencement exercises of
the school were held at tho Grand opera
house on Friday evening. Tho com
mencement was the fourth yearly affair
of the kind given by the institute and
was tho most successful yet held. It
was a success from every standpoint; in
the first place from tho good work done
by the institute during the school year
just closed, which instilled an admirable
self-conlidence into the work of the stu
dents, and secondly from the character
of the orations and the brilliant manner
iu which they were delivered. No bet
ter testimony could b(5 offered of the
value of the institute to the community,
and of its especial value to the young
men who are availing themselves of its
advantages, than the results shown by
the students who participated iu the ex
ercises.
Nine money prizes, $325 in ail, were'
given by the directors of the institute
through the munificence of Eckley B.
Coxe, Jr., a nephew of the founder, and
were a complete surprise to those who
received them. In addition to their
money value the prizes are doubly ap
preciable from th(s fact that they were
awarded on merit. All the young men
who received the prizes were entirely
worthy and have reason to be proud of j
the fact that their industry and applica- j
lion was so substantially rewarded.
The students of the institute had no di
rect knowledge of the prizes during the
term, and those who have won the hon
ors were persons who attended the
school primarily for its educational ad
vantages, and not with a view to com
peting for any trophies.
The commencement exorcises opened
with a selection by the Mayberry band.
At the conclusion of the piece, Albert C.
Leisenring, of Upper Lehigh, president
of the institute, announced that Hon.
George D. McCrcary, of Philadelphia,
would act as chairman. Mr. McCrcary
was given quite an ovation when he
arose, as this was the third time he had
consented to act iu that capacity. After
a few words in which he stated his
pleasure at being able to.preside on such
an occasion and his hearty approval of
educational projects, Mr. McCrcary an
nounced the first oration to be the
salutatory by Bernard Boyle.
Mr. Boyle's subject, "Conservation of
Energy," permitted an interesting dis
course on one of the brunches of physi
cal science and he handled tho subject
thoroughly. He drew several fine in
stances of the capacities Tor doing work
possessed by all physical bodies whether
in motion or at rest, and of tho various
methods of applying it.
The next oration was on the "Neces
sity of Education," by John J. McMona
iiiin. Mr. McMenatuin, although rep
presenting tho youngest class in the
advanced section of the school, was
easily the superior orator of the evening.
He is tlie possessor of a line appearance
and is the master of an intense, earnest
delivery. His sentiments were happily
blended with these qualities all that
ho said was sincere and heartfelt. The
speaker's portrayal of the necessity of
education becoming more evident as the
world advances, and his references to
the promotion of educated workmen
under such liberal-minded American
employers as the late Eckley B. Coxe,
whose picture hung above Dim, were
punctuated with applause.
Daniel Sachs spoke on the "Effects of
Machinery on Labor." Mr. Sachs con
trasted the advanced position of the world
with its standing before the introduction
of machinery, and concluded that the
inventors of labor-saving machinery
were among the greatest philanthropists
of the modern era.
Howard Raragor gave a dissertation
on the "Life of Benjamin Franklin."
Mr. Barager briefly reviewed the great
printer-philospher's early struggles, and
his speech was calculated to arouse the
young in(!n in the audience to an imita
tion of Franklin's careful and conscien
tious work which resulted in his life
success.
"Variation of Weight" was the sub
ject of an oration by Roger Dover. The
cause of weight, viz., the attraction of
tho earth for everything on it or iu it,
and its variableness as bodies are moved
about on the surface at different dis
tances from the centre, wore all treated
by Mr. Dover in an Intelligent and en
tertaining manner.
Nell Mellugh delivered an oration on
the "Education of Mine Foremen." Mr.
Mellugh pointed out the increasing
dangers of mining and also the necessi
ty, as the coal supply becomes lessened,
for its economical mining. He also
showed tho growing demand for educat
ed men in responsible positions, as
modern mining operations demand the
direction of a competent head.
Prof. Edwin J. Houston, of Philudel
i pliia. a member of the well-known elec-
FREE LAND, PA, MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1897.
I trie lirm of Thompson-Houston Com
pany, delivered the Founder's Day ad
dress, and in the course of his remarks
requested the young men and hoys to
take advantage..of tho opportunities to
acquire a little learning offered by the
institute. lie gave numerous illustra
tions of the magnificent opportunities
to succeed which are open to tho edu
cated. and fervently advised the young
men to labor and study earnestly and
diligently to obtain an education. Mr.
Houston also paid a tribute to the late
Eckley 11. Coxe, whose generosity and
liberal spirit made him a prominent fac
tor in everything in which he was inter
ested, and whose deep regard for the
education of young men was worthy of
the highest praise.
Frank Roberts delivered the valedic
tory oration, his subject being "Duty of
tho Press." Mr. Roberts gave liD opin
ion of this burning question, which Is
today perhaps one of the foremost topics
in social science, iu a brief manner.
His conclusion was full of admiration
for newspapers whose work was inspired ,
by a love of truth, and was equally full
of censure for journals of a mercenary
and sensational character. Mr. Roberts
expressed the thanks of the students to
tho directors and faculty for their kindly
consideration and assistance, and also
spoke feelingly to tho members of hi>
class.
Prof. John R. Wagner, principal of
the institute, then awarded Ihp prizes
;is follows: To George Raragor, #75, for
being the prize scholar of the term of
"95-'96, who was not given anything at
tho time owing to a lack of funds; to
Frank Roberts, .$75, for being the prize
scholar of the term just closed, and $25
to each of the following gentlemen for
high standing in their classes: Bernard
Boyle, Roger Dover, John J. McMena
mln, Froeland; Fred Lesser, Condy
Johnson, Upper Lehigh; J. J. Brislin.
Eckley; John Cunningham, Jeddo. Mr.
Wagner called attention to the remark
able records being made in Lehigh uni
versity by Louis Ortner and George
Barager, the prize scholars of former
years. The first named stands second
and the latter sixth in a class of 115
members at the Bethlehem institution.
The exercises closed with a few re
marks by Mr. McCrcary, who praised
the institute for its good work and wish
ed it continued prosperity.
Tho audience was a thoroughly rep
resentative one of the community, cm
bracing people from all walks of life,
and a keen interest was manifested
throughout the evening in all that was
said and done. Tho stage was hand
somely set oIT with plants and palms and
gave the aiTair an air of refinement that
well harmonized with the exercises.

DRIFTON ITEMS.
Fire visited us on Saturday night, and
came nearly destroying a large block
in No. 2. It was some time after 10
o'clock when a blaze was discovered
breaking out of a siianty about eight
feet from house No. 171 on Second
street. The big whistle sounded the
lire signal, and the chemical engine was
rushed to the scene. There 'was not
enough acid on hand to extinguish the
blaze, which gradually rose higher and
higher, until it began to lick the corner
of the dwelling. Here it soon took hold,
worked its way up the eaves and enter
ed under the roof. In the meantime
the hose carriage had boon taken out
and the hose connected with a plug at
No. 1. The 800 feet barely reached the
burning house, but by stretching the
lino it was brought to a point where
effective work could be done. Acid for
the chemical engine was also made in
sufficient quantity, and the two streams
were put to work. The entire roof was
then ablaze, but with good judgment
the men got control and finally extin
guished the lire. The loss wilL amount
to about §4OO. The origin is a mystery.
The block was occupied by four fami
lies, two of which wore Austrians and
two Hungarians. The residents were
calm until the blaze reached their house,
then began a tumult which is almost in
describable. Men threw trunks, bedding
and be,ds from the second-story windows
and jumped out after them with little
regard as to where they would land, and
that serious accidonts did not occur
seems a miracle. Superintendents Smith
and Wagner were among the first on the
ground and directed the work with good
judgment. The Drlfton lire company,
everything considered, made a good
record in its first big lire.
Word was received here yesterday of
an accident to .lames Boyle, a son of I*.
Mi Boyle, who formerly lived hero. The
young man on Saturday fell from a
trestling at Mill Crook, above Wilkes
barre, and sustained a broken arm and
minor injuries.
As a result of Saturday night's blaze,
the large water main will be attended to
No. 2 and a lire plug placed in that part
of town.
Tho miners and railroaders are look
ing forward with pleasure to the future
Steady work has been promised them.
Several of Mauch Chunk's young men
witnessed the ball game hero yesterday
afternoon.
Miss Lizzie Broderick, of Sandy Itun,

Miss Sarah Gilshon, of Mahanoy City,
was a visitor here last week.
BASE BALL DOTS.
Tho best-playod game of the season
on the local grounds was that won yes
terday by Lattimcr from the Stars.
The score was 3 to 0. The contest was
one of pitchers. Rued, of the Stars, was
hit for three singles, while Boyle, who
twirled for the visitors, was batted for
four base hits and a two-bagger. The
fielding on both sides was good, except
in tin; sixth inning, when a fumble at
second, a few bases on balls and three
hits gave Lattimcr men their throe runs. |
The Stars in nearly every inning had
men on base, but their batters could not
bring in the runs.
At Drifton yesterday tho Fearnots
stepped in and tied the leaders for first j
place in the league. Tho contest was j
one-sided from the start; Drifton club j
finding Mayer's delivery an easy mark. '
The game ended in favor of the Fearnots i
by a score of 10 to 7.
In tho Manch Chunk-Pottsville game 1
on Saturday the field work of Shortstop
Broderick, of town, was of the pbonom
eonal order. Ho is credited with five
put outs, eight assist and no errors, u
record seldom made in his position.
Tho Stars will hold a ball on July 2 at
Yannes' opera house. The boys are
giving the town all the base ball it is
getting this year, and therefore ask a
littlo assistance from the public on this
occasion.
Tho results of yesterday's games tied
two clubs for first place and two for last
place in tho Anthracite league.
Freeland will play at Hazlcton next
Sunday and Drifton at Lattimer.

A Swindler on His Rounds.
All church members, and especially
Baptists, should boon their guard against
a fraud who is traveling about tiiis part
of the state. Ho is rather tali, smooth
faced und clothing quite seedy. He
knows every Baptist ministerand claims
to have recommendation from all. In
one place he represents himself as can
vassing for a book, at another is agent
for religious newspapers and again ho is
writing up Baptist history. 11(5 is al
ways in need of just $2 or 2.50, having
failed to receive remittance from the
lirm. In Honesdale ho represented him
self as a student working his way
through Crozior to become a missionary,
lie succeeded getting money in several
towns and was last heard of iu Strouds
burg a week ago.
Im "Alcoliolinm" a IliceuKO?
Dr. Fitzsimnions, of tho Hazleton
sanitarium, delivered a very interesting
lecture at tho opera house Thursday
evening. His subject was "Alcoholism"
and lie produced admirable arguments
to demonstrate the proof of tho claim
that this so-called habit is a disease of
the mind and is subject to medical treat
ment the same as other organic Ills.
The professor spoke one and a half
hours and was given earnest attention
by those present. Ho successfully com
batted tho various arguments which
have been used against the treatment of
drunkenness, 1). J. McCarthy presided.
The attendance was very small.
Itlunt Not Dabble iu Politics.
District President 11. B. Ingham, of
the Patriotic Order Sons of America,
acting under instructions from the ex
ecutive committee of the state camp,
has taken possession of the charter, seal
and other property of Camp No. 671, of
North Towanda, and officially disband
ed tho organization. The lodge had
forty incmbors. Tho trouble grew out
of tho endorsement of political candi
dates by the lodge during tho county
campaign last fall, and tho subsequent
neglect of the camp to deal with tho I
members responsible for the breach ol
the constitution.
Ex-Congresgumn llluett' Poultry Farm
Ex-Congressman Mines, whose new
cottage at Lake Ida, In Buck township,
i* nearly completed, intends to establish
an extensive poultry far. Ho owns sev
eral thousand acres of good fertile land
around the lake, part of which will be
cultivated and the necessary yards and
buildings constructed for poultry raising
<n a large scale. The lake affords ex
cellent facilities for breeding ducks and
George Gottbold, superintendent of th"
farm, states that they intend to raise
about 50,000 pekin ducks annually for
market when tho enterprise gets fully
under way.
Burred from Postal Service.
Minors will hereafter be debarred from
chief clerkships and deputy postmaster
ships except in a few of tho third-class
offices where circumstances urge their
peculiar fitness. Even then they will
not be allowed to become acting post
masters on account of the legal declar
ations that contracts made by minors
are voidable. This effectually bars
them from being even temporarily post
masters, so far as the assumption of tin
real responsibility of that office is con
cerned.
Townnhlp Sues a Supervisor.
A suit to recover $379.12 from Julius
Staple and ills bondsmen, Henry Borger
and Augucst Staple, has been begun by
the township of Donison. Staple was
elected as one of the supervisors of
Denlson township in March, 1886, nnd
served until tho next election. Upon
examination of his accounts by the au
ditors it was found that there was due
the township from Mr. Staple the amount, I
claimed, which, it is alleged, lias not
been turned over to his successor.
