Took .Morplilne.
Joslo Hulbert , an Intnato of 110 Plcrco
street , attempted suicide yesterday morning
by morphine. She took n lnno dose of the
drug about midnight , and her landlady hear
ing of It , and not wishing to have a corpse
around loose , put her out of the house. She
wont to 143 Pierce street , moro familiarly
known as the "Ark1 whore she was given
lodging for the night. About 7 o'clock Dr.
Bcllingor was notillod , and ho went to the
liouso to try to save her. Ho found her un
conscious from the effects of the morphine ,
but after considerable trouble ho succeeded
In bringing her out of her stupor. The
other Inmates of the house were unable to
give any very satisfactory reason for nothav-
Inn called n physician , and their talk gave
the Impression that they were not nt all sorry
to see Josto start off on her long Journey ,
Joslo Hulborf , the girl who attempted sui
cide , has had considerable notoriety of late ,
for a girl fifteen vcnra of ago. She served n
term In the dty Jail for vagrancy not Song
ago , and when she was released she found
that another girl had usurped her place In
, the affections of a young man named Herbert
Smith , and she attempted to avenge the
wronir by stabbing her rival. She spoilt an
other term In Jail for this offense , and during
her conllnomcnt she made life so miserable
for the people who llvo in the vicinity of the
Jail that It was decided that the only way in
which to get along with her was to send her
to the reform school. There was some talk
of disposing of her case In this way , but the
arrangements had not yet been completed.
Yesterday afternoon she was hoard to re
mark that she would try It again before long ,
and would make a sure thing of it next time.

H.'il > iiH ! Corpus Proceedings.
Judge Smith hoard the habsas corpus pro
ceedings yesterday afternoon In the case of
the state against William Dllsavor , who is
under sentence for Keeping a disorderly
house. Ho was ropro-ionto'l by Attorneys E.
E. Aylosworth and D. B. Dailoy , while
County Attorney Organ and S. B. Snyder
appsared for the city in the absence of City
Attorney Stewart. The arguments of the
attorneys were somewhat long and exhaust
ing. Dllsavcr's attorneys claimed that the
only right the city had in relation to saloons
and disorderly houses was that of suppres
sion and restraint. Tlioy hold that the city
had exceeded its authority in passing an
ordinance authorizing the imposing of a fine
for the offence.
The attorneys for the city claimed that
habeas corpus was not the leal method by
which the case should bo carried up. They
hold that the proceedings commenced were
in effect those ot an appeal and that an ap-
neal should therefore have boon taken.
Judge Smith was of the opinion that the only
question in the case was whether a city had
n right to nass ordinances of the kind under
which Dilsaver was convicted , and that ques
tion was ono which should have been decided
by the court in which the trial was had. Ho
stated that ho would bo glad to have the law
on this point brought to his attention , and In
order that iho attorneys might have moro
time in which to prepare their arguments ,
an adjournment was taken uutil this morn-
iug at U o'clock.

FIRST CLASSICAL COURSE COMPLETED ,

GradunteB-MiiHlo , Oratory aiul
Song Marks the Closing
of the Collet Year.
A very largo audience composed of
relatives ; friends and well-wlshors , around
whoso faces there fluttered a forest of fans ,
greeted the llvo young men who passed the
llnal ordeal and received diplomas from
Crcigtiton college last night at Boyd's opera
houso.
Although the occasion was the thirteenth
annual commencement , the class which grad
uated last night was the IIrat to complete the
full classical courso. The graduates were :
P. A. McGovorn , Omaha ; F. J , Otti.s , Hum
phrey , Nob. ; W. P. Flynn , Adair , la. ; J. C.
Kinslcr , Omaha , ahd M. P. O'Connor ,
Omaha.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the orchestra
opened the exercises of the evening with an
overture , "Far West. " When the curtain
rose nt the end of the overture the audience
looked into the faces of the live young men
who had completed the college course and
who were to receive the honors thus merited.
The graduates occupied scats near the front
of the stage , while behind them and
almost * Hilling the stage there
sat about one hundred ol the younger stu
dents. The effect upon the nudlenco was
electrical , and after looking for an instant
upon the thoughtful , promising young men In
Iho foreground , and"nt the bright voting
undercradnnti's In the background , the whole
aim and object of this grand institution of
learning seemed to Hash upon thu minds of
the vast assembly and a burst of applause
followed.
A very cleverly written salutatory , pre
pared by Mr. F. P. Gallagher and delivered
by Francis C. McGinn of the academic rrndo ,
served as an Introduction to the How of era
tory. The addiess was thoroughly ono\cd ]
and received universal approval at the hands
of the nudlenco. *
Mr. P. A. McGovorn was the lrst } of the
graduates to address the assembly. Ills sub
ject was "Policy and Principle. " The young
man spoke in a clear , linn tone and com
manded the closest attention of the audience
from first to last. Ho pointed out
the distinctive characteristics of men
who were actuated by mere policy
ana those who cro covorncd by
the dictates of principle and conscience. Ho
held that the policy man should not bo trus
tee , but the man of principle should and
would succoco in every laudable undertak
ing. The moral forces were all in favor of
the man whoso motives were prompted by
true principles , but failure and disappoint
ment would sooner or later overtake those
who listened continually to thu whisperings
of policy.
A chorus composed of twenty bovs then
sang "Tho Sleigh Hido" in a most , delightful
manner and received the approbation of the
audience in the form of hearty applause.
Mr. F. J. OltH , of Humphrey ,
Nob. , then stopped to the
front and began an oration upon "Tho Catho
lic American Citl/.on. " Ills voice was all
th'U could have boon deiiroif , while hK
gestures were appropriate and free. The
thcmo was expressed in thcso words :
"Our country Hist , our glory and our pride ,
Land of our houes , land .where our fathers
died. "
The drift of the oration was in the direc
tion of showing the loyalty of American
Catholics to the country of their choice. The
speaker recalled the many heroic deeds of
Catholic citi/ens : done in dcfcnso of the
stars and stripes.
"Tho Catholic church , " said the speaker ,
"is truly American. " Notwithstanding the
slanderous assaults of sectarian ingots , the
speaker held , the Catholic Americans were
loyal to the country. Loyalty to the author
ity of the country was the brightest Jewel in
a Catholic's crown. Catholicy was the source
of the noblest loyalty. It was the aim of the
Catholic church to make men true to God ,
and therefore could not malio thorn hostile to
peed government. The youug man was
heartily applauded.
Mr. w. P. Flynn of Adalr , la. , was next to
claim the attention of the audience. Ho
spoke of "Man , the End ; State , the Moans. "
The sentiment of the theme was : "bhall
we resign our hopes , renounce our rights ,
forget our wrongs , because the state cries
'Bo it so. ' "
The young man had his address thoroughly
prepared and spoke as though ho meant
every word ho said.
The speaker reviewed hurriedly the
political philosophy of many great
and ancient nations , including Grcoco
and Homo. The injustice , tlijit had
been heaped upon too individual
by lyranical governments of the past was
vividly portrayed. The speaker held that
the greatest good for the individual was the
grandest work that could bo secured by a
govcinment. The state should simply 'bo-
como the means by which the individual and
the family could reach the hichost degree of
culture and happiness. There was a burst of
applause at the close ot the address , and
several beautiful bouquets \vcro presented to
the able speaker.
A double quartette of bpys then sane "Tho
Winds Are All Hushed , " in a very effective
and artistic manner.
Mr , J. C , Klnsler of Omalra had prepared
an oration upon "Culture Mental and
Moral. " The thcmo was expressed in the
following words :
"How empty Is learning and how viiln Is art ,
lint us It mcmls thu life and guides thu heart. "
"Tho term culture , " said the speaker , "has
boon applied very loosely to all sorts of real
and imaginary attainments. " Ho then pro
ceeded to explain that the word culture really
meant much more than the acquirement o'f
intellectual bric-a-brac The cultured mind
was ono which had not only ncquircd facts ,
but had also the ability to utilize these facts
in a practical manner. A cultured mind
could think Its own thoughts and was not
obliged to simply distribute borrowed at
tainments. There was also n culture of the
heart , the speaker said , which was equally
Important with that of the mind. The welfare -
faro of society demanded the moral culture
of every moirbor composing it. Moral cul
ture could do moro to chock crime thsn civil
authorlty.bccauso moral culture reached down
to the mainspring of motive and shaped and
moulded the mills of men. The clash of arms
and the clank of prison chains could not ac
complish so much for good. Teach man that
ho is a moral being , and by tbo culture of the
heart tno happiness and contentment of the
community would bo secured. The speaker
was heartily applauded.
Mr. M. P. O'Connor was the valedictorian.
His subject was "Tho Principal of Morality. "
The theme was expressed in these words :
"Hcason , the Shadow of Eternal Justice , "
and for the peroration as valedictorian thu
thcmo sentiment wua "Purling is Such Sweet
Sorrow. "
Mr. O'Connor spoke forcibly and elo
quently. Bo had prepared ' his speech with
grunt care and presented tliu thoughts In a
very effective manner. Ho llrst discussed
nn I dollued the moral fao'ulta-s of man and
gave his ideas as to the nmn's ability and re
sponsibility in the moral .world. Ho then
turned to the theory of utilitarians , who hold
that a moral act should bo , ' measured by the
good it produced without regard to the
motive. The greatest good to the
greatest number was1 the theory of
the utilitarian school and the merit.of an act
depended upon its result. But the speaker
held that tiio law of God , which recognized
the motive of every moral act as well us the
effect and which had been laid down by God
lu conformity with the nature of man , should
bo taken ns the guldo to conscience.
Tinning then from the theme of iho
oration , the speaker delivered an
eloquent valedictory address. Ho said
that the many nappy hours of college -
logo life it Crulghtoa should bo cher
ished within memories nlry wails. To thu
many friends of the college thu vulo.lictorlai
returned the gratitude of thu class for the
many words of encouragement that had been
cxtondud all along thu college course. To
the president and faculty of Crctghton college
the sneaker returned the untku and heart
felt thanks of the class for the untirlni ; toil
and kind assistance that had characterized
thu work of the teachers ulltthrough the
course ,
In conclusion , the eloquent young man
said , as ho turned to bis classmates ; "Our
relations ns olassmntcs must now bo broken.
But I trust and feel that the friendship that
has grown up betwcctMis In the past will
never bo broken , but wl'l ' go on and on , heed
less of separation , strengthening with the
years and thus become the happy fruit , the
cherished memento of our college life. And
now with many thanks to you , gentle pa
trons , whoso patience wo hnvo so taxed
tonight , with promises of steadfastness to
our almn mntor , with good wished for all our
fellow students , with n tribute of esteem ,
love and rcvercnco to the faculty and loved
professors , the class of 'IH extends to nil a
last sincere : and cordial farewell. "
The able young orator was greeted with
n round of applause mid the floral usher * pre
sented him a liirgo quantity of beautiful
bouquets.
The curtain was then rung down , and after
n selection from the orchestra It was again
lifted. In thu meantime Bishop Sonnnull ,
Bishop Donncum of Lincoln , President
Fitzgerald , Vicar General Chockn , Father
Colnnol , Father McCarthy , Father Carroll.
Father Klockcrand Father Brcltkoph had
taxon scats upon the stage.
President Fltrgorald then proccc-lod to
road the diploma mid announce the degree ,
Bachelor of Arts , about to bo con
ferred upon the graduates. Tbo young
men were then called forward and
Ulght Kov. Hleuard Scnnnoll , bishop
of Otnahn , delivered the diplomas into
their hands.
President Flt/gerald then introduced
Bishop Scnnni'll to the audience and
ho proceeded to address the graduates
and the assembly upon the great work of
education. The bishop spoito earnestly and
pointedly and his words were listened to
with close attention.
Ho congratulated the class upon being Iho
llrst to craduato from Crelghton college. Ho
then turned to the thcmo of education and
said that the time had come when the plan of
spreading one's effort over all the realm
of learning to gain only n smatteringof many
things and n thorough knowledge of nothing
bad been shown to bo wrong in principle. Ho
who took up aline ol study and mastered it
'
thoroughly'should succeed In life and nccoin
plisli much moro than ho who rambled aim
lessly over the vast llcld.s of knowledge with
no compass or guide. Ho congratulated the
young inon upon the course they had pur
sued. Ho said they were ready to enter
upon active walks of lifo and they would
find that the cour o they had ct.ra
pleted would lead them Into
paths of snf'ity and unsclllshness.
The philosophical training the young men
had enjoyed would enable them , the bishop
said , to detcc' false and dangerous theories
in social , political and religious lifo. He ad
monished the young men to go forth in the
sttengtli of their young Christian manhood
to light noblv tlio battles of lifo.
The bishop's address was heartily np-
plandcd.
The gold medal for llrst honoi's in elocu
tion was then awarded to Mr. J. C. Kinslur
of the graduating class and the various , n'i/.es
and medals won by the undergraduates and
academic departments were distributed. A
lurgo number of books and other handsome
pri/.es were bestowed and another year's suc
cessful work at CreiL'hton college was
brought to a delightful closu.
HKKCHEli'S 8TA1UE VXTKILEIt
A Tribute in Ilroii/ and Granite to
tlio .Noted Divine.
BnooKMX , N. Y. , Juno 'Jl. In the park np-
posito the city hall a tribute in broiuo and
granite to Henry Ward Beochur was un-
vcilcd atI o'clock this afternoon. A lurgo
crowd of people were present , among them
being 300 school children who took part
in the exercises.
Hon. Seth Low dolivo.cd an oration which
was devoted to a eulogy of Mr. Beeclier. In
the course of his address Mr. Low said : "We
are not hero to unveil this statue of Mr.
Beechcr because ho was a Qrooklyiiitc.
Urooklyn doubtless rejoices lu his
fuiuo as a part of her own
history , but the statute Is sot up in the city
of Ins homo by Mn Beochcr's ' friends of
every dngroo and every cliino in order to
carry down to posterity the likeness of the
strong , bravo man for nn Inspiration to all
that shall como after him. Every man , for
sooth , must have bis homo in some onu place ,
but great men of the earth overleap all boun
daries and become the fellow citizens' ' of all
iron. Such a man was Henry Ward Bcccher.
From this city ho swayed the minds and
hearts of men in vast multitudes for forty
years , From this center his words
traversed the land and sea , carrying
inspiration , comfort , courage and some
thing of the exhilaration which free
dom brings wherever they wore berne
in the four winds. The slave- heard his
voice and in the midst of despair took heart
of hope. The slave owner heard it and
writhed under its sting. The free north
hoard It and found It like the sword of that
spirit which dlvideth the joints and marrows.
Men might cry peace , peace , but their con
sciences compelled thorn to listen to his burn
ing words. There could bo no pcaco while
the Hag of the union waved ever a single
slave. At times , whou law and lawlessness
alike conspired against thn ndvocato of the
slave , ho made this city the torch bearer of
freedom. By his dauntless spirit ho madu
good at all times tno words which ho shouted
in the tooth of Isaiah Kyndjrs and bis
mob when they broke up an abolition meeting
In Now York. In Brooklyn wo have free
speech. Thoughtfully and fearlessly he dis
cussed all the burning questions of his timo.
Many another note ho struck from the harp-
strings of the human heart , but no one will
doubt that his passion for freedom was the
master passion of his lifo. Aud his love of
freedomItsolt was heaven-born. He veilly
bdliovcd that all men are the sons of God and
that as such the birthright of every man is
freedom , freedom under.law to become all
that it is his power to bo. "
Speaking of Mr. Beecher's carlj Ufa the
orator refers to his student days in the Lane
theological seminary on the outskirts of Cin
cinnati and continues : "In particular here
Mr. Bcccher saw slavery with thooycs of the
flesh for the slave seat of Kentucky was In
sight across the river. Mr. Beecher received
in this western lifo ono other Impression
which was abiding. Just as ho loft. Lane
seminary the movements were culminating
which divided the PrcsbvUjrianl.sm of that
day into the old school and now school. Mr.
Bcccher , though found orthodox by thu
examiners of tbo old school , was refused b\
thorn a license to preach because his father
belonged to the now school and ho himself
also declined to suoscrlbo to the old. This
Incident determined him to picach Christ ,
not of an.v school , but to hold cccleslatism as
always and everywhere of secondary ac
count.
Iloferrlng to Mr. Beochor's attitude on the
slave question Mr. LOW said : "Tho ex
tremists among the abolitionists were accus
tomed to speak of the United States constitu
tion , bocnusu of its recognition of slavery , ns
'a covenant with death and nn agreement
with hell.1 Mr. BcecheY novcrtook this vlo\v ,
but hu was not loss outspoken than thu bold
est in denouncing slavery as a national sin. "
Four years ago , on March 8 , Mr. Bcochor
died , and ton days lutur the movoinont was
started which now rcsulU In thu completion
of n splendid bronze statue of tlio
great preacher. It Is the work of
John Qnlnoy Adams Ward who has
duvotcd nearly thrco years to the task for
which ho had prepared by taking n death-
mask of Mr. Bcochur's fnco. Tno statue
represents him In a chaructoristio attltudo ,
in which ho was often seen when entering
Plymouth church. Ho wo.irs tlio capu
overcoat which so often enveloped bis
figure , and carries Ids soft foil hat in his
hand. The face is somewhat Idealized to ex
press the gunurai idea of the man In distinc
tion from a moro portrait statuo. With the
central memorial uro grouped ideal Iliturus
which represent the characteristics of the
man. Two children at the left of the statue
