ST. JOSEPH’S COMMENCEMENT.

The commexicenient exercises will be held June 19th. There will be a large number of graduates. This being the fifteenth year of the existence of the College, and the tenth commencement, special efforts will be made to provide a worthy celebration. Father Delaney, pastor of St. Patrick’s, Ft. Wayne, will deliver the baccalaureate address. A preliminary celebration will be held the day before, and in the evening, June 18th, the Columbian Literary Society will present the splendid drama,Thomas A. Becket, arrangeed from Tennyson’s famous play by Father Guggenberger, S. J. The play deals with the historic struggle of Thomas A. Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, with King Henry 11., for the freedom of the Church. Victor Meagher, ’O6, will enact the title role, and Maurice Ehleringer that of King Henry. The play will be presented with fine costumes and scenery, several new scenes having been purchased in addition to those on the new stage. We desire all our friends to attend, especially the Alumni, this being a special occasion for them. The Alumni Association will meet on the day of Commencement, or the day previous.—The Collegian.

OBITUARY.

Miles Moffitt died at his home in Fair Oaks, Ind., at about 3 a. m. Friday, May 11, 1906. He was born in Randolph county, Ind., December 28, 1832, aged 73 years, 4 months and 13 days. He was the eldest child of Seth and Elizabeth (Hickman) Moffitt. He was married about fifty-three years ago to Achsah McChristy, who still survives. To this union were born eleven children, four of whom have preceded him to the eternal home. The seven surviving children are Bruce, living near Fair Oaks, Elmer, of South Sioux City, Neb.; Mrs. Nora Thornton, formerly of near Rensselaer; Mrs. Fannie Bringle, Enos, Mrs, Irene Moore, and Miss Edith Moffitt, all of Fair Oaks. Elmer, who was not here at the time of his death, arrived Sunday morning and was in attendance at the funeral. A number of friends from Wheatfield, Rensselaer, Surrey, Parr and Gifford were in attendance to pay the the last tribute of respect to an old and well respected and honored .citizen,.

He was a man of a strong moral character, was honest in all his dealings, and often spoke of the Golden Rule as a good example to live by. He made no religous profession, and therefore there were no religious services at the funeral, except favorite hymns sang; no remarks were made, but a short obituary was read by the undertaker, after which the remains were followed by quite a number of relatives and friends to the Fair Oaks cemetery, where the body was laid to rest. By request of his companion, the pall-bearers were sons Bruce, Elmer, Enos,and son-in-law Samuel B. Thornton, Abraham Bringle and Alfred Moore. Besides the wife and children of father Moffitt’s, he leaves one brother, two sisters, two half brothers and two half sisters; also twenty grandchildren and one greatgrandchild to mourn his departure. **»

Forever Distingnished.

When Washington made his tour of New England in 1789 he was the guest of his friend, Oliver Ellsworth, at Windsor, Conn. Ellsworth’s biographer, William Garrott Brown, mentions that visit as “the greatest hour In the history of Windsor and of the Ellsworth family,” Washington wrote Ln his diary on Oct. 21, 1789: “By promise was to have breakfasted at Mr. Ellsworth’s at Windsor on the way to Springfield; but, the morning proving very wet and the rain not ceasing until 10 o’clock, I did not set out till half after that hour. I called, however, on Mr. E. and stayed there near an hour.” Tradition has generously lengthened out and embellished with Incidents of an old fashioned patriotic flavor the single hour of Washington at Elmwood. There Is the story of the errand of one of Ellsworth’s young sons to the Wadsworth mansion at Hartford to present the invitation, of his trepidation at the thought of facing the greatest man in the world and of his surprise, relief and disappointment to find only a quiet old gentleman dressed very much like his father. There is also the story of Washington’s taking on his knees the youngest twain of the Ellsworth children and singing them the ballad of the Derby ram. The homes Washington then visited were thenceforth forever distinguished, and many a New England house was richer by the priceless association so valued by the owners of Elmwood.— Youth's Companion.
