Miss Mary French Field, daughter of the late Eugene Field, read from her father's writings last evening at the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church and it proved a de lightful entertainment.' Miss Field was in troduced by Rev. J. dimming Smith, pastor of the church, who said that Mr. Field made his first publio appearance In this city In an entertainment with Mr. Nye and Mr. Riley, and closed by saying that Mr. Field's writing has an enduring charm. Miss Field is tall and graceful and is of the blonde type. Her voice is low and well modulated. The programme was chiefly of those writings re lating to childhood, In which Mr. Field was sd happy and in most of them was a touch of : pathos that was affecting. Miss Field be gins without any preliminaries and her first number was "The Bow Leg Boy." This was followed by "Dutch Lullaby." "Picnic Time." which was particularly enjoyed by the boys, and "Jest 'Fore Christmas," which they ateo Appreciated. Miss Field was re called and gave the "Grandma's Prayer," which tells of the story of. the grandma, always mending, who prayed that when she went to heaven she might mend the little angel breeches. The second group of read ings was "Little Boy Blue," probably the best -known of any, 'Sometime" and "Twen ty-thlrd Psalra." In these the quality of Mls3 Field's voice and the feeling expressed were: suited to the tender meaning of the llne For the psalm Mr. Hansen played a soft organ accompaniment. A single reading wa "The Old Man," the pet name given to a baby by his father, a pathetic story that caused more than one handkerchief to be used. While all that Miss Field did was good. In none was she better than In the last group of three, a charming finale. The nrst was "The Night Wind." with the recurring sound of the wind at the end of each verse, which was extremely well done. The little story of "The Doll's Wooing" gave op portunity ror tne use or the voice in another way, and the "Seeln' Things," child's story, was never. The enthusiastic applause con tlnued so long that Miss Field returned and gave "The Limitations of Youth," one of the most blood-thirsty wishes a youth ever conceived, but the versea all closed with, "If I darst. but I darsent. The musical assistance was given by Mr. Charles F. Hanrervwho opened with an organ number. and later, for his playing of the "Coronation March, toy Meyerbeer, received a double encore, responding with Mendelssohn's "Spring Sontr ana an exquisite playing of the BocchJrini. "Menuet." Mrs. Ida Gray Scott sang the aria from Gounod's "Queen rf 6h,t9 ' on1 a at art Anvnv& 'Afailrto.l by Chamlnade, and later she sang Lul laDy rrora "joceiyn, by Godard. with violin obllgato by MLss Lewis, a beautiful com position. Mrs. Scott sang well, as she always does. Mr. Frank Croxton sang "O thou suDiime. sweet evening star," his rich bass voice being peculiarly adapted to the song. The audience was much plea.sed with the new singer and he was recalled. He re peated the song without the Drelude. The church parlors were thrown open and after tne programme, tne audience was invited to meet Miss Field, Rev. Mr. Smith making the presentations. The children were particularly invited to meet her. The ladles of the church and the patronesses from other churches were hostesses for the social hour. THROWN FROM HIS HORSE Thomas A. Wynne Has Ills Wrist Broken. Thomas A.

DR. WAGNER TO CONTINUE. Misunderstanding; Between Him and Health Board. The article In yesterday's Journal in re gard to the resignation of Dr. Wagner as the smallpox diagnostician of the Board of Health, precipitated an early meeting of the board yesterday morning, and It was deaided to allow the doctor's bill of $915. The board did not understand that the bill was for services since the 1st of March, and. laboring under the Impression that it was for only two months' services, considered the amount entirely too much. Explanations were made and Dr. Wagner will continue as cne of the diagnosticians of the board. Dr. C. D. Ferguson being decided upon as the other expert to examine smallpox cases in the future. City Sanitarian Clark says that it is absolutely necesyiry to have two diagnosticians, as the board has found that there Is often need for two experts at times when new cases are reported in rapid succession, as has been the case during the last week. The board has asked for bids from all of the tent compander of the city for five tents to cost not more than $150. It is proposed to erect the tents on the pes' house grounds and use the canvas lnclosures during the summer for the care of the smallpox patients.

BIG SOUTH-SIDE SCHOOL EIGHTH ANNUAL MANUAL TRAINING COMMENCEMENT. President Jenkins, of the University, Delivers the Principal . A-ddress. English's Opera House was packed, last night, from pit to dome by friends of the graduates of the Manual Training School. It was the eJghth annual commencement and on the stage the sixty-seven graduates sat in four raised tiers of scats. At the right of the stage were seated Charles E. Emmerich, principal of the Manual Train ing School, who presided, Superintendent Goss, Rev. Thomas, .JVlllers. President Burris A: Jenkins; of 'the University of In dianapolis, and Dr. Allison Maxwell, presl dent of the Board of Education. The programme was opened with tjhe overture from "The Fortune Teller," by tho Manual Training High School Orchestra. After the invocation by Rev. T. J. Vlllers, Miss Eliza beth Stelnhagen delivered the salutatory. She briefly reviewed what the school life of the graduates meant to them and grace fully welcomed those who had come to the exercises. Miss Maria Leonard, one of the graduates, sang Dudley Buck's "Sunset' and was compelled to respond to an encore. The principal address of the evening was then delivered by President Jenkins. He took for his theme "Education," and dis cussed it in its various phases. He said that education does not mean solely what book learning may be acquired, but it is In tended to fit one to answer the question. 'What can you do with situations you have never met before? What can you do with problems you have never seen before?" He said the object of education is to make gen tlemen such as Theodore Roosevelt. It Is to turn out men who can ride with Rough Rid ers, who can rise to emergencies, who can fill high places with distinction and credit. who can harden their hands with the ham mer or by any labor, who can be good citizens. It is to turn out men who want to work and who are not afraid to work and who can reply as did Roosevelt, when told the people of New York wanted him as their Governor. "I do not care what It is. but I want to work." Mr. Jenkins referred to the moral side of education and said that those who insisted their children should not attend public schools or colleges because the moral influences were not as good as those of the home, were guilty of heresy. The air of an educational instltu tlon, he said, Is pure and moral, for there the thoughts are on the mind and its train ing, and not on the body. He spoke of the wonderful influence of education and said that men of wealth would give their money to further education when they would not open the purse strings tor any other object. In the development of the country, the little country schoolhouse Is planted ahead of commerce and of the churches and it is the recognized foundation of tho country. The march, "Battery A," by the orchestra caused such enthusiasm that It had to be repeated, and then Louis Borlnsteln deliv ered the valedictory- He referred to the kindness of teachers and parenta the en couraeement the members of the class had received, the indulgences that had been granted in their education as far as pursued and then said they realized that In their education yet to come the kindly smile would be turned to the sneering laugh and consideration heretofore showed them would rot be extended now. He. as did also Mi?s tteinhagen. paid a high tribute to Mr. Em mcrich. Julius Herrmann Played as a piano solo Chopin's "Polonaise Opus 40, after which Dr. Allison Maxwell conferred the degrees. He took as the subject of his re marks the mottoes of the classes, that of the January class being "Ultimate Good. Not Present Pleasure," and that of the June clas.?. "Think. Resolve. Act." He said he believed in mottoes, and urged on the members that they live up to theirs. White Mr. Emmerich read the names of the gradu ates. Dr. Maxwell handed to each a dlplo ma. As each graduate rose to receive the oiploma vigorous applause greeted him from his friends, and ovations were given to the colored graduates, James Martin and Samuel Watkins. Almost equaling these ovations were those extended to members of old and well-known families in the city. The enthusiastic High School pupils waited until the orchestra played "Manila March." and then the different cla?p yells were turned loose. From all parts of the hull, as the audience was dispersing, came the veils, and standing in front of the theater was a large crowd of pupils who gave every tll and every variety 01 yen mat tne scnooi possesses.

It is particularly notable for its illustrations and pictorial features, all of which, including the cover design, are the work of students in the art classes of the school. The cover was designed by Alexis Many and was chosen out of a number In competition by a committee of which Mr. T. C. Steele was a member. The title page design, by F. Walllck, received the second prize. The literary features are of higher merit than Is commonly found In publica tions of this character. here so much is deserving of mention it is difficult to dis criminate, but the contributions of Fletcher Wagner. Myla Jo Closser. Beth S. Drlggs, Francis T. Pangborn. Helen Werbe, Alan G. Williams and Pax Hlbben deserve especial notice.

The Yankee Defeated by the Domin ion on Lake St. Louis. MONTREAL, June 12. Last year's Seawanhaka cup winner, the Dominion, ran away from the White Bear Yacht Club challenger, the Yankee, in the first of the series of races to be sailed on Lake St. Louis. The wind blew lightly from the south at the start and freshened up as the. race progressed and died away to almost nothing before the race was ended, the Dominion crossing the line exactly ten seconds ahead of the Yankee. The race' was witnessed by a large gathering, though, of course, the In terest was not so great as when the Domin ion successfully defended the Seawahanka cup. A large party or ladies ana gentlemen from Minneapolis were present. The start was made at 2:27. the Dominion at once tak ing the lead, never to relinquish It. Tho Canadian boat showed herself much superior in windward work, most of her gains being made on that leg. She considerably outpointed the Yankee. Toward the end of the race the Yankee lost considerable ground by becoming becalmed, while the Dominion still had a faint flutter of wind to help her along towards the home buoy.

There was a great crowd out and the seniors had harcly started the programme before it was seen the faculty and prominent citizens were to come in for a merciless scoring. President Burroughs wae represented all through as not having the support of the faculty, and all the professors wero held up to ridicule. The coeducation scheme had a prominent part, and it was shown that if Wabash had had girls in the college the Institution would not now be without a freshman class. Then the suspended freshman class, occupying front seats and wearing hats with a large, white letter "X" thereon, arose and sang its class song. The City Council was represented as scheming to elect new members so as to keep a certain party in power. Prof. Kennison, of the city schools, was represented as explaining how he was elected superintendent, and why the school board had relieved two faithful teachers. The entire entertainment was illustrative In a unique manner of the affairs of the college and city, and the leading characters burlesqued were shown up in any but a courteous manner.
