HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE8.

Kate E. Hnlman, Anna H. Straus. ie Douglass, Josephine Mary M. Allen, Martha W. Merrill, James R. Beath, Rebecca Tomer, Sarah H. Ward, Lulu WIttlg. Winnifred Connelly, Frank Bannister,

Henry Holland, Jemte E. Stewart, Emma F. Walker, Addle M. Sparks. Margaret M. Wolf, James L. Pierce, Lenora Pound, Llllie Probst, Elizabeth McOaln, Oka EL Reese, Alice L. Karnham, rranic Harry M.Estabrook, Geo. H. Taylor.

Last night at the Opera House in the presence of an audience completely filling the builbing, together with their faithful teachers and the board of school trustees, amidst flowers, the sweet strains of music and applause of admiring friends ringing in their ears, the above named two dozen young people received at the hands of President Morris their diplomas testifying to their having graduated in the High School course.

Those named in the first column took part in essays and orations on the previous evening. This was the seventeenth annual commencement, and the class is considered a good average of those in proceeding years. The exercises on both evenings were of the usual interest. Our space will not permit of even the briefest mention of two dozen essays and orations. The music on both evenings was a prominent feature. Misses McEwan, Ensey, Essie Kent, Flora Keller, Dan Davis and wife took part, and the choruses by the high school, led by Prof. Byers, were rendered with much spirit and in good style.

THE usual spring epidemic of "boils" is at hand. Every well regulated family has one or more. A boil is the most agravatingof human ailments. It occasions the most intense suffering and attracts no sympathy. Yeu walk the floor all day and lie awake all night. You grow thin and pale. You meet an acquaintance, and he inquires with anxiety and alarm, what is the matter You tell hjm, and immediately his face expands into a broad grin. He begins to make facetious remarks and tell stale jokes. When ne sees, by your eye, that you are about to knock him down, he changes his tone and tells you how many of his friends bad a great deal worse boil than yours and in much more inconvenient places. You know this is a falsehood you are certain nobody ever had anything to compare to what you are suffering. You go to a doctor, and he laughs at you. You think you'll get drunk, but your spirits are so crushed you haven't spunk enough to do it. There is nothing dignified about a boll. You can't be an interesting invalid, you can only be disagreeable. You can't talk about your malady, for it isn't exactly proper. You renounce society, you snub your best friend, you kick a dog, you crawl off into a corner aud want to die. Then the boll breaks, and the world is illuminated you are born again you embrace your snubbed friend you apologize to the dog you cill on your girl you resume business at the old stand. And all these extremes of joy and misery are caused by one little spot no bigger than apiece of chalk.

THE trial of James W. Watts, on charge of enbezzllng 1,500 of money as agent of Wm. Paddock fcOo., cametoan abrupt ending on Wednesday afternoon, when on motion of the defense, Judge Stott told the jury that the prosecution had failed to make a case, and gave Instructions to return a verdict of not guilty. To the surprise of the court people the jury stayed out all night. On Thursday morning they returned a verdict of acquittal in accordance with instructions. It was a queer jury, and had the trial proceeded to a olose there is no telling whether the judge, the lawyers, the Paddocks or the acoused would have been sent to the penitentiary.

THE Terre Haute Literary Club made their second annual banquet at the Terre Haute House on Monday evening, an interesting event. Some sixty people sat at the tables. Dr. Joseph Richardson, the president, reviewed the year's work, and Hon. Wm. Mack, with his usual care and thoroughness, read a paper on Classic Painting. Brief addresses and responses were made by Mrs. Mansfield, of the Greencastle Literary Club, Mrs. Howard Manning, of the Saturday Circle, W. C. Ball, Rev. 8. M. Stlmson, Pres*t. C. O. Thompson, ^ev. Alfred Kummer, Prof. W. W. Byers and Rev. H. O. Breeden.

WE are sorry to note that in changes and cutting down of expenses of the line from Evansville to Chicago, Mr. H. L. Bushnell will go out of the down town office of the C. E. I. road, where be has made himself so popular, and has done such good work for the road. The local agency of the E. A T. H. and the general agency of the C. A E. I. will be consolidated on the first of July, under the management of R. A. Campbell, at present travelling freight agent. A. O. Palmer will continue as assistant In the C. A K. I. office, and A. J. Steen in the E. A T. H.

A. C. COMBS, the coal dealer has just completed a perfect gem of a residence at the corner of Third and Onlick streets, Into which he moved this week. It Is pleasant to note such departures from the stereotped styles of house building. Variety in architecture adds greatly to the beauty of a city.

A Sqt'AD of twenty-four policemen has been detailed by Chief Fsstg to parade with the Knights of Pbythis on the Fourth, snd officer Bickle to drilling them In foot movements for the occasion.

GO TO THE RINK:

Music and a Grand March. Next week, Beesoo, the Champion Skater, •v«y night,

DO NT 8 FOB GRADUATES.

Don't give up study. Don't think life is all sunshine. Don't imagine it to all shadows. Don't think you know everything. Don't feel too proud to go to work. Don't forget your old schoolmates. Don't be a drone—go at it with a wilL Don't think yon can reform the world. Don't think yon are smarter than your father.

Don't be long in choosing your lifework. Don't expect success unless yon work for it.

Don't be afraid of failure if you do your best. Don't scorn the advice of experienced persons.**

Don't forget that litis simply a mixture of both. Don't try iocram in over-crowded professions.

Don't refuse a good thing at band while waiting for something better

4

Don't forget that the most learned people have something to learn. Don imagine an education is not needed for manual labor. A master mechanic cannot know too much

Don't think your education is completed a foundation has merely been laid upon which you are to build in after life.

Don't lay aside your books forever now that you are out of school. Give some part of every day to reading—read up in the branches you glanced over in school. To throw aside study at the end of school-life is the greatest mistake a girl or boy can make.

FOREIGN wines—foreign fruits—foreign dress goods—and foreign things are generally held in higher esteem than home-made ones. But there is one thing which is an exception to this rule, and that is the strawberry. Early in the season people take these berries brought from the South and do the best they can with them, looking forward, however, with longing anxiety to the time when they can get home grown berries. They will pay fifty cents per quart for Southern berries, and so on down to twenty cents as the product reaches nearer home, and then finally get home berries for ten and fifteen cents, which are worth foui times as much as those first coming from the South. We saw some berries in our market the other day which, if they could have been placed in the market as soon as the Southern ones, would have commanded double the price of the latter.

MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses hav« been issued since our last report:

Frank Krumtiner and Mary Huolihan. Solomon H. Stephens and Alice J. Hughes. Oliver P. Hendrichson and Anna M. Comer.

Charles Jackson aud Laura E. Peteis. Charles Alexander and Cordelia Smith. James Moody and Mattle Overman. Chas. O Mallloux and Emma Deba. Isaiah Smith and Jennie Cusick.

CHURCH NOTES.

Hereafter during the summer at St. Stephens the Holy Communion will bd celebrated on Sunday at 7 A. M. Litany, 10:15 P. M., Matins and Sermon 11 A. M., and F.von Song sit 5 P. M., instead of 4:30 P.M.

YOU NEVER HEAR!

No, you never hear complaints of dull times at the popular boot and shoe house of Stein A Heckelsberg, 421 Main street. The reason of this is that It is so generally kno^rn that they have everything in the boot and shoe line that may be needed for man, women, or child, and at prices so low that the people delight to trade there.

MAKE HOME BEAUTIFUL. The work of the decorator has come to be an art which Is so rapidly developing that one can hardly follow the quick succession of improvements. The oldfashioned paper hanging is a thing of the past, and so skilled is the new industry that none but artists can now find employment with any well established house. J. W. Roberts A Co., of this city, are in the lead in this kind of work, and combine the painters' labor with the decorators', and thus are enabled to completely care for the wants of those who are trying to make their homes attractive. Make your selections, aided by Mr. Roberts' good taste, and he will send out his paper hangers, real artists in their profession, who will make a wonderful transformation in the dingy walls of your house. The reputation of this house has been built up on low prices and good, honest work.
