sold. Something more than the ¥.s-
tomary results were achieved in tne
decorative line. Graceful effects were
derived from purple and white bunt-
ing and from gracefully arranged
flowers, among which the sweet violet
was prominent. For the motto the
class chose, “To be rather than to
seem.”
The graduates were as follows: M.
JWilhelmiha Murray, Anna Stauffer,
Paul Brupaker, Paul L. Murphy, War-

in the presentation of their respec-
tive portions of the evening's enter-
taining programme, each member of
the class did well, and all are justly
deserving of much praise. It will be
noted that seven had orations, while
the remainder had declamations or
musical selections.

The music was decidedly good, the
Chopin solo by Miss Bender being es-
pecially noteworthy. Then, too, in the
declamations, the efforts of Mr. J. M.
Root and Miss Maria H. Engle dis-
played talents of a pronounced order.
The salutatorian, Miss Breneman,
selected the interesting character of
tobert Burns for her dissertation. She
displayed keen insight, sympathy and
esearch in her work. She preferred
judge the canny Bard as one who is
loved and pitied, despite his
and excesses. His inevitable
to be either one of devotion
use, madness or death. The
wo were improbable,so the latter
milder fate was opened for him.
Mr. Sheetz spoke upon “Ambition as
an Essential of Success,” and argued
the point ably. He likened a man
crossing a wilderness unknown to
him, but with the aid of a guide, to a
man who treade the pathway of life
with ambition as his companion and
guiding star. Illustrations were fur.
nished that abundantly proved his
salient 2 ot the least impressive
of y allusion tos class:
nished wo exam-
commencement stage, of what ambi-
tion had done for them.
Miss Anna Stauffer had a timely
and interesting topic in “The Deca-
dence of Manners.” She held that
the good manners, and especially the
smaller and finer courtesies of previ-
ous generations, are passing away.
The change, she argued, has come as
a consequent to the selfish, money-
crazed age, in which we now live.
Even the gentler sex have contributed
no little to the death of the essential
spirit of cultured manners by the in-
dependence that the average Ameri-
can girl has acquired in recent years,
and since she made the discovery that
she is able to cope wiwa her brother in
almost every walk of life.
Miss Wilhelmina Murray dilated
upon “School Friendships,” referring
at length to their value. The intimacy
that naturally follows school life re-
sults in friendships, compared wita
which others are seldom so true. She
advocated heartily the formation of
friendships during the school age, be-
cause they develop those worthy quali-
ties that are essentials in the life of
subsequent years.
“Restrictions on Immigration” open-
ed a wide field for Mr. J. Walter Eby.
He, of course, assumed the undeniable
position that the volume of immigra-
tion is at present too great for the
safety of this nation. It is also harm-
ful to the incomers, while they con-
gested indiscriminately and with lit-
tle regard to health in the big cities.
He frowned upon the nations that
force unnatural immigration because
of persecution, and he forcibly pre-
sented a picture of the evils that are
resulting from the cheap foreign labor
in this country. In his climax he
called this Government to enact such
legislation as will remedy the present
state of affairs, and to exert such in-
fluence on foreign countries as will re-
quire them to halt the unwarranted
march .of their castaways to American
shores. :
In “Negative Injunctions,” Mr. Paul
Brubaker dwelt upon the importance
of the*word “not.” He contended very
wisely that it is often emphasized too
highly. When one is constantly im-
pressed with the thought that they
should not do things there is a grave
danger that nothing, even affairs that
are worthy, will be accomplished. A
thoroughly negative person means no
value to the world. It is the doers
who bring us success and progress.
Miss Grace E. L.. Holwager gave a
critical study of the character of Queen
Elizabeth that was quite charming. She
brought out the strong contrasts and
strange perplexities i? Her Highness,
dwelling upon her pride, vanity and
deceitfulness, and, on the other hand,
on her statesmanship and courage. The
oration was comprehensive and good
throughout.
The valedictory, by Mr. Hoffman, on
“The Awakening of a Bear,” was a
splendid treatise on the underlying
principles of the present Eastern war.
He showed how Russia is being roused
from her dormancy and despotism by
the liberal influences infused by her
active enemy, and he predicted that if
Japan wins the war she will invade the
whole East with an unconquerable
army---an army of ideas. It is perfectly
natural, he said, that America should
sympathize with Japan, because to a
certain extent America fought for the
same principle, civil liberty. In clos-
ing he spoke with affection in saying
farewell to his old associates and as-
sociations,
Mr. T. J. Brown, President of the
Board of Directors, presented the
diplomas in a clever little speech, and
Rev. Dr, E, T, Jeffers, of York -Col-
legiate Institute, closed the evening
with a highly valuable talk,

Philadelphia Inquirer.
Jacob Larye, who left here some time
ago for Europe, is reported murdered, Mrs.
Larye received a letter from Heinrich Sch-
ultz, at Marseilles, France, on Friday, in
which it is stated that Mr. Larye had re-
ceived part of the money said to have been
coming to him and that strangers had in-
duced him to go with them and treacher-
ously assaulted and robbed him. He was
removed to a hospital where, the letter
states, he died from his injuries,
When the unvarnished story of a Lan-
caster county cobbler, who lad gone to
France to claim a large inhertinance only
to be murdered and robbed at Marseilles,
appeared in the newspapers on Saturday;
only a few persons knew that the assassins
krife had penetrated in a luxurious home
near Broad and Norris streets,
And yet the cruel fate of the aged shoe-
maker, Jacob Larye, a German by birth,
conveyed a message of tragic meaning to
a young woman, his daughter, but long the
adopted and beloved member of the family
of a wealthy and influential carpet manu-
facturer of Philadelphia. She knew that
her father’s death was the climax to a
strange romance in which her young life
had been woven with threads that had
been carefully concealed from the select
circle in which she had long been accus-
tomed to move. Rerred from childhood
amid riches and luxuries, the thought that
she was now heiress to thousands amassed
by a granduncle in France left her no doubt
unmoved. ’
The stranged history of the old German
cobbler and of his beautiful and accom-
plished daughter; now a well-known figure
in the best social circles in the northern
section of the city, would be worthy of the
pen of Balzac.
Sought Fortune in Paris.
More than half a century ago Jacob
Larye, a native of Elsus, Germany, was
roaming about Europe, young, ambitions
and in search ofa fortune. His family at
Elsus was an old and well-to-do one,
which had given many staid and influen-
tial burghers to the town Council. For
many generations no member of the fam-
ily bad ventured beyond the rich farming
region in which its wealth and reputation
for worth had been slowly garnered. But
the fates decreed an altogether dlfferemt
fate for young Jacob Larye. He had an
uncle who was the first to set at defiance
the family traditions and seek gold beyond
the ever-widening borders of the family
farming lands. This uncle also bore the
name of Jacob Larye and he crossed the
borders of France and made his way to
Paris on foot, determined to investigate
the wonderful stories he had heard of the
fame and fortune to be easily won within
the walls of the fair French capital. The
uncle at first failed to find in Paris an
Eldorado and raturned to Elsus a prodigal.
But the experiences of Jacob Larye, the
uncle, in Paris were cherished by him and
duely recounted to his equally restless
nephew and namesake. The family tradi-
tions again received a rude shock when
Jacob Larye, the nephew, stirred by the
visions of the outside world conjured up
by his uncle, ran away from home, He
wandered about Europe and finally made
his way to Paris, whither his uncle had
returned. At Paris he entered the employ
of the culinary department of a big hotel
and gradually became familiar with all the
secrets that have made French cooking
famous, But he tired of his role as chief
and wandered into Alsace Lorraine, whore
adversity forced him to pick up a knowl=
edge of shoemaking,
A Runaway Match,
While in the French provinces he met a
beautiful French girl, the only child of a
prosperous farmer, He fell in love with
her and, in order that he might be near he:
he entered her fathers’ employ, although
carefully concealing from him the nature
of his feelings towards his daughter. The
latter reciprocated the love of the wander-
ing German you h, and one night they
stole away from the farm together and
made their way to Paris. The farmer was
influential, and he set the Paris police
upon the heels of the eloping twain, Love
guarded them, however, and after being
quietly married by an unsuspecting curate,
they eluded the police and the irate father,
and reached Havre in safety. Here Jacob
Larye worked for several months, he and
his « wife practicing the most rigorous
economy until they had saved enough to
pay the young woman’s passage to the
great America across the seas,
