RECEIVED THEIR DIPLOMAS

High-School Coarse Completed and Now Ready for College or Life Pursuits, Nine Graduates of the Forty-Five Read Interesting Essajs or Deliver Thonghtful Orations to a Large Audience Prize-Winner. There has probably never been a more select audience in Tomlinson Hall upon occasions of a similar character than that which assembled last night at tho twentysecond graduating exercises of the Highschool. The front seats on tho lower floor had been reserved for friends and relatives of the. Graduates, but back of them tho bfii was crowded, as were also tho gal leries. As the class took their seats, while Miller's orchestra were rendering selections from the opera "Tho Brigands." they were received with applause. Taken as a whole they appeared unusually young for pupils who had completed four years in the high est years of a common school education. But with their youth it may ba said that their faces were exceptionally bright and intelligent, and judging from tho litorary efforts of nine of their number they are not below tho high standard of tho school in point of mental development. Tho programme, as it was carried out, was not too lengthy to prove entertaining and instructive on so hot a nisht. Rev. John Baltzly opened the exercises with prayer, and the essayists and orators were then allowed to deliver their productions without individual inintroduction. Miss Mamie KeiCel, the first essayist, read a paper on "An education under difficulties." taking the life and work of Laura Bridgman as her central idea. Heaven endows man. she said. with great blessings, but th two most im portant are the senses of sight and hearing. To be deprived of these is to lose the oeauties of nature and the voices of loved. ones, lne education of Miss Hndmnnn. who was both deaf and blind, was onlv an example of what can be accomplished under disconramni? snrronndinirs. She began by learning from hor mother the little household duties that came in her way. In 1837 Dr. Howe, of the Boston Institute for the Blind, took her nnder his care, and eraduallv tauaht her the names of objects by the label system. She took her first lesson in writing after she had been with him for one year, but in time she aennired considerable skill in that line. In four years she was learning geology, geography and history, and subsequently became a competent instructor of the blind. Her life, tho speaker thought. suggested useful lessons whereby one can learn to lorget sell lor others. Miss Mary Todd read an interesting essayon 'The pathos of Dickens," showing a careful and systematic studv of his works. From "Pickwick Papers." Dickens's first book, to "Edwin Drood" his last and nnlinished work, his readers are impressed with the combination of humor and pathos. The latter, the speaker thought, is as powerful in holding the attention of the reader as the former. Dickens's pen-pictures of sorrow and suffering affect human sympathy, for such scenes were based upon his personal observation and experience. As an author he lived in his books and sufiered with his characters. The pathetic element in his stories has had a refining influence upon mankind. It arouses a sympathetic feeling in his characters and ouickens his readers in observing actual surroundings ana peopio in real life. Ihe first oration of the evening was de livered by Frank K. Shepard on the sub ject, "Should school-boys have outside occupations!" The speaker answered the quesa.; 2 ai it ? . i Lion in tne arurmative, limiting nis conclusion to certain conditions. School-boys are of two classes, he said those who pay for their education and those who are able to obtain it by their own enorts without outside financial assistance. To the latter class only his subject was applied. He cave several examples of work that could be made profitable, and earnestly urged the school-boy of to-day to cut grass during spare moments for a little spending money. Such work gives the young man 1 X . . an insigui into ousiness principles, although the advisability of such a course depends largely upon tho boy himself. In general, however, outside work is advan tageous, laying, as it does, a foundation for future prosperity and increasing selfrespect. "What should a United States Senator be!" was the question discussed and an swered by Miss Grace Alexander. There are written qualifications, she says, of age and residence which are reauired before a citizen is eligible as a Senator, but beyond these aro certain requirements that should be observed. A Senator should have a thorough knowledge of American and international law; he should be educated by travel at home and abroad; and he should bo a thorough student of history. In this way he gets the broad and comprehensive knowl edge that enables him to serve his constitu ents as ho should, lie should vote according to his honest convictions without regard for money or hopes for re-election. Miss Mary Grace Smith discussed "Common-place people," with a plea in their behalf. Many of that class, she said, do not lack f urpose, although it may act gradually, n the life of every person there is much of which the world is ignorant, and in the hearts of the "common-place" people there may be hopes and ambitions which do not appear to the casual observer. People must make allowances for such, for their lives may have been blighted by unfortu nate circumstances. McDonald Kobinson delivered the second and last oration of the evening on "The newspaper and American civilization." Ho was practical as well as logical in his views, and handled his subject with ability. The American press. he said, has done more to advance the country than any one other institu tion. It has promoted national unity and made possiblo a liberal democracy in our government. J he editor of a great daily has a great influence in framing and guid ing public sentiment. Men like Greeley, the speaker thought, have had more mlluence on the aff airs of government than have many men in the halls of Congress. Tho newspaper is an educator, and should ele vate its readers morally as well as intel lectually. Party prejudices should not en ter its make-up, but only thoso elements which tend to secure the education, culture and perfection of the people. Miss May Self read an essay on "Travel and reading." claiming that both aro neces sary factors in a thorough education. To see, she said, is better than to read of what others have seen, but perfection can best be gained by the combination of the two. Miss Self advised her hearers to read be fore, during and after traveling. "The giving of gifts" was Miss May Louise Closser's subject for an essay that was oxceptionaily interesting. I lie cus tom of giving gifts, she said, reaches its climax in this country at Christmas time, when tho tokens we bestow upon our friends show a depth of purity and love. Pride often regulates gifts, Miss dosser said, and often a frugal meal follows a costly wedding-present that was deemed necessary. The ideal gift is where the heart-strings as well as the purse-strings aro liberally opened. Give with love and noble, upright motives was the young lady's closing advice. Miss Lillian Beeson Brownfield was the last essayist of the evening, her subject being "TLe holy grail." ller production showed careiul study and reflected great credit upon her patient research. Tho storv of the holy grail, she said, combined two legends that of the cup out i which Christ drank, and what is known as the Arthurian legend. The story of the former has been woven into many legendary tales. The conception of the grail, which passed from England to Franco, is symbolic of purity and is worthy of careful study. Prof. V. W. Grant then awarded tho honor scholarship, given by Wabash Col lege, and also the $20 prize, given by the Vnbash College Alumni Association of this city, to Archibald C. Thomas, Miss Brownfield was awarded the honor scholarship given bv the State University.

A Meeting Called to Congratulate the Street Eailroad People on Their Enterprise. There was a meeting of citizens at the Denison House last evening, at which Geo. O. Tanner, president of the Board of Trade, presided, to provide for some suitable ob servance of tho opening of the first electric railway in Indianapolis to-day. The Chicago capitalists who own the plant of the Citizens' Street-railroad Company ; willbe here, and as the electric railway is part of that system it was thought a formal expression of appreciation of their enterpnso was duo them. It was suggested hy the Rev. Dr. Cleveland that o committee be appointed to draft an address to the capitalists and that the addrese be circulated for signatures of citizens. The time was too short to do that satisfactorily, and the wishes of those who spoike after tho Doctor -were directed to a meeting at which appreciation of the street-railway company's work could ba manifested. Taking the shape of a motion, this idea was referred to a committee lor consiaeration, me com mittee consisting of Dr. Cleveland, John S. Spann. R. O. Hawkins, D. H. Wiles and D. P. Erwin. These gentlemen, after a brief consulta-. tion. reported that a meeting of members of the Board of Trade, Commercial Club and citizens generally should oo neia mis evening, at the Koara or iraao nan. as the resolution ottered expressed it, mis. meeting is to extend to the Chicago: gentlemen congratulations upon the completion of their electric-railway; enterprise ana "to assure tnem tnat tne citizens appreciate their largo investment of capital in our city, and that they stand ready to extend to them every reasonable facility for making their electrio system general and complete." This resolution was adopted, ana tne Mayor, presidents of the Board of Trade and Commercial Club, with Samuel Morss. John 11. Hollidav. II. S. New: D. P. Erwin, E. B. Martindale and D. A. Richard son, were appointed a committee to prepare and take charge of the meeting. This committee will meet at noon to-day at the Mayor's office. Trains starting from the Union Station at 0:30 o'clock this morning, will hclrun on tho electric line to Fairview Park. 'lUey will be run every ten minutes from that time until 10:30 o'clock to accomodate the larco number of State, county and city officials, ' and representative citizens, who have been invited to accept the courtesies of the company. For several days every part, of the electrio plant and roadway has been in readiness for operation, except . a bridge over Fall Creek. That has just been com pleted, and hereafter residents on the line of Illinois street can ride on electric cars. The GUmore Band Concerts. The B mi ted engagement of the Gilmoro Band and Concert Company will open at Tomlinson Hall to-morrow afternoon, and the diagram shows that large audiences will be present at both entertainments. Two carefully selected programmes have been arranged, and the concerts promise to be enual in general excellence to any ever given by the Gilmore organization in this city. Took Spoons for Ills Work. r a Harry Hamilton, forty-nine years of age, was arrested last night and locked up on a charge of petit larceny. Ho was doing . job of plumbing on North Tennessee street, and took toe spoons, he says, for fear ho would not be paid for his work. A Point on Human Nature. Buffalo Commercial.
