Music Hall was packed Monday night to witness the class day exhibition by the members of the graduating class. In the audience were many strangers, commencement guests, and the assemblage was one of the most select that ever graced the hall.

As to the entertainment it was clean and wholesome and while some unkind things were said they were said without malice. Nearly everybody and everything came in for a ••roast"', and some of the take-offs were exceptionally clever. The plot of the farce was not deep. It opened with a February ~"3 riot in which the authority of Or. Burroughs was set at defiance. He resigned and the board of trusters umde Prof. C. F. Tuttle acting 'president

This new president was not in evidence, but his daughter, Miss Josephine, "The New Crawfordsville Lass1' was. She takes the town by the ears and Prof. McLain and Prof Bodine both fell madly in love with her. Their jealous quarrels were cleverly depicted and in the end the blushing Josephine is captured by a member of

Mr. Condit as Josephine, Mr. Detchon as Prof Tuttle, and Mr. Knight as Prof. McLain were bright stars, wiiile Mr. McBroom as "Biddy" caught on well. Several of the scenes were bright and catchy and none more so than the initial appearance of Miss Josephine in bloomers.

den's sore ear comes from his perverting his talents. Duke's allliction was incurred by using burnt cork as an element of make-up in playing comedy, when all his friends know he is essentially a tragedian, and they never use burnt pork. Frederick, you know, would attempt poetry, and Voltaire believed he was cut out for a soldier.

In the meantime the Vegetable Compound will make life much easier for her. It tones up the nervous system, invigorates the body, and the blues" vanish before it as darkness,.flees from the sunlight. You can get it at any reliable druggist's.

Mrs. Loi:isSTnoNG,ITarrisTTill,ErieCo.,N.Y.,says: "I have been troubled with falling of the womb for years, was advised to take Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Compound. I took thirteen bottles and received great benefit. When the time for change of life came I suffered a great deal with faintness and palpitation of the heart. I got one^ bottle of the Vegetable Compound and one of Blood Purifier and was relieved again. enabled to pass through that serious period very comfortably."

The ritual, which was that of the Episcopal church, included the giving away of the bride by her father, and the marriage by the ring. During the concluding prayer and benediction the bride and groom knelt at the altar. Mrs. Anderson played Thome's "Song Without Words" during the service and immediately upon its conclusion began the Mendelsshon's wedding inarch to which the party passed out of the church by the east aisle, led by tlie bride and groom. At the door, carriages were tanen for the home of the brides parents on east Main street.

Piiblic Instruction,

and C. P. Bicknell, secretery of the Board of State Charities, will discuss the subject of truant otlicer6 with thecounty superintendents of schools,who will be here this week, and the consideration of applications will be taken up soon. The policy will be to appoint the minimum number of officers before the opening of the schools next fall. The superintendents of the schools in Ft. Wayne. Evansville and Richmond have each written the appointing board that one oilicer for each of these cities will be enough at this time.

The superintendent of schools in Lake county has also written that one? oilicer can do the work in the township in which Hammond and East Chicago are situated. The board's opinion is that as few officers as possible under the law should be appointed at this time with the view of increasing the number from time to time if the conditions demand it.

I'.ij of Special .1 ud«cs.

The Governor, the Auditor and the Attorney General have begun an investigation of the question of the pay of special judges and it is found that during the last six months this practice has entailed upon the State an expense of about S15.000. Part of this is in the nature of constructive fees, for the time spent is reaching the circuit and another in returning. It is also a question that has never been raised whether a judge under continuous pay from the State is entitled to extra pay while sitting as special judge. The great majority of special judges are* regular judges called from another circuit.
