The New York Press of last Wednes day gave a record of seven suicides in that city, and it was considered only an ordinary suicide day at that. Joe Jeffekson, the eminent come dian, who submitted to a severe surgical operation on Monday last, is expected to be around again in a few days. Ho is (." veare old. What griping, hilarious fun we will have when Georgia's "30,000 acres of watermelons" nro ripo. Georgia gets hold of our affections about that time as well as our pocket-books. Chicago church people are making a vigorous effort to securo Rev. Talmage, the great Brooklyn divine. As they generally get what they go after, they will be apt to succeed. Two children of Frank Manaiget of St. Clair, Minn., met death last Tuesday by the explosion of tho tank of a gaso line stove. The childreu were aged 10 and 2 years, respectively. Late advices concerning General Van Wyck's illness are of a very encouraging nature, and it is now believed that the general will recover his health, only to be less active than in the past. The whisky trust has been considera bly crippled by tho withdrawal of the .Peoria distilleries. It seems to be only a matter of time until this gigantic swindling combination will be squelched. A twentv-five ton chunk of coal was safely landed at the Washington state building at Chicago Tuesday. It took sixteen of the largest Clydesdale horses to perform the feat. It is said to be the greatest single load ever moved in that city by horsepower. MoreUiuh 19,000 Norwogian citizens, together witli visitors of that raco from various cities of this country and from abroad, met at the west front of the ad ministration building at the World's Fair, Wednesday, and had a grand par ade. Many Norse societies of Chicago and other western cities participated. Tun Chicago papers, says tho Bloom ington, 111., Pantagraph, are to be com mended for their emphatic denunciation of the extortion practiced on isitors to the World's Fair by tho rapacious res taurant keepers and others. They ad vise visitors to take a lunch basket with them and be independent of the greedy horde. Until the charges within the grounds are put at a reasonable ligure there will be an array of self-provisioned visitors to the fair that will be truly im Ksing. ADPITIOXAL LOCAL. COMS1ENCEMEST EXEKCISES. Thirtrcen Youns Iridic nnd Gentlemen Graduate From the lli;li School A Slioit Synopsis or Each of Their Oration. The opera house was crowded last Friday evening with friends and ac quaintances of the graduates of 1893, anxious to encourage and show by their presence their interest in educational matters. The house was so full that it was impossible for all to obtain seats. The first on tho program was a selec tion by the Maennerchor orchestra, then prayer by Rev. Jaudon, and another selection by the orchestra. ,Ethel G. Galley then delivered the salutatory. She traced tho work of the pupils from childhood, speaking of their difficulties, caret:, anxieties, etc., and said tho work for them had just begun they were now passing from school life to life's school. Miss Galley is a very graceful speaker and delivered her oration in pleasing manner. Miss A. Gertrudo Scofield then read an essay entitled "Having a Purpose." She said "a life without a purpose was like an idea without u doubt; onIe two excuses for a person to fail in life; first, not having a plan and model, second in not carrying it out." Her article was well written and deserves much credit. -.-, "The Times," delivered by MissPearle B. Mosgrove, came next on the program. Sho spoke of this ambitious age of ours, saying the world is a great stage of action, and one cannot hold his own in this world of wonder without ambition. What cannot be done?" Chad E. Arnold then gave "Four Hun dred Years ago." He compared vividly the customs then with now, reminding bis hearers of how women had no edu cation, how children were bound out as slaves; now we have one of the greatest, if not the greatest nation in the world, claiming nearlj all the modern inven tions. His production was well written .and interesting. "Side Tracks" by Miss Maud MeCray, and "whose tracks are they? They are the tracks of those whose energy has helped them to step out from the beaten paths. Benjamin Franklin stepped out when he discovered electricity; Edison followed him for a time and then made tracks of his own. Fulton leaped from the main track and his followers have given us almost palatial steamers," etc Her essay was very bright and witty. Miss Anna Becker read "Home Influ ence Upon Character." She had a well written paper on the subject, telling the advantages of the perfectly conducted homes over the indifferent ones. Miss Chambers then delighted the audience with a solo, receiving rounds of applause. "A Phase of Vanity" was the theme of Miss Maud S. Parker. She says "the world is full of dogmatics, they hold their place in popular esteem. Our differcence of opinion is merely a differ ence of dogmatism and mental difficul ties." Her production was unique. "Hannibal," by W. Irve Speice, came next. He gave an excellent brief his tory of that great commander, speaking of his being the first man to.crosa the Alps, and finally telling of his death by his own hands rather than be impris oned. "The Progress of Thought" by Miss Xiillie Bushel contained many valuable ideas. The essay started with : "Life is a journey, and each has a destination at which to arrive." It was delivered excellently. "Records Yet Unread," by Miss Nellie A. North, told of such women as Mrs. Palmer, Helen Gould, and others, who had won world-wide famo by their win ning ways and good judgment. She spoke of how many who had better ideas or thoughts if known to the world would make them famous, but they would not express them. A. May Bouton read an essay, "The Harmony of Nature." She said "Na ture strikes chords, and we have but to listen. , The colors of an artist's paint ing are but nature reproduced." The reading seemed to have a musical tone, as it she had really struck the artistic chord herself. Bert Ii. Coolidgo followed with an oration: "What next?" He spoke in a verv clear, distinct tone. He dwolt on tho importance of not losing time. "Knowledge conies but wisdom lingers," and every hour should bring us more knowledge. Miss Zura B. Morse then gave tho valedictory in a very charming manner. She bade the teachers and school mates good-bye, making ono think they were nover to see each other again. R. H. Henry, president of the school board presented tho class with their diplomas, and Prof. Scott presented Miss Zura Morse with a prize for best general standing, Miss Gertrude Scolield one for best standing in arithmetic, and Miss Maud MeCray for best Latin scholar ship during tho year. Many liowors were thrown upon the stage dnring the evening, and each one received their full share of applause. The riftraiit Hour Myntery Club Bam-iiei. Ono of the most enjoyable social events of the season was the farewell banquet of the Pleasant Hour Mystery society on Saturday evening. The lady mem bers of this pleasure-seeking club seem to have been doing about all the enter taining tho past winter, so the gentle men members concluded to end the festive season with a banquet, which they did in an elaborate and excollent manner. The party gathered in their handsome suit of club rooms in the Anderson & Roen block, which were beautifully dec orated with paintings and flowers, and after spending the evening in social sports and games, repaired to the Me ridian hotel, where there was in waiting an eleuantlv uecorateu onniiuei room and tables groaning with toothsome viands, to which ample justice was done. The ladies were tastefully costumed, and grace, elegance and sociability were radiantly apparent on every side. Dr. C. D. Evans and C. W. Pearsall were the toastmasters.and they did their duties well. W. M. Cornelius responded to the toast, "The Mystery Club;" "The Moral Effects of H. F." by J. G. Reeder; "The Ladies," J. J. Sullivan; "The Fu ture," by Carl Kramer. Thirty-two couples ate, drank and made merry amid the good things pro vided by Landlord Pollock, and at a late hour disbanded, hoping to meet next season without tho loss of a member from their social ranks. The music for tho occasion was fur nished by an Italian orchestra from Omaha. The Grand Free Street Parade. The pageantry of an ancient Rome and tho displays of all modern times are ac tually surpassed by tho grand free street parade of the Ccok & Whitby show. It is a difficult task to attempt a descrip tion of this splendid portion of the Cook & Whitbf show, especially in a cooly written publication such as this is in tended to be. It has been the purpose of the writer to avoid the slightest tinge of exaggeration in all tho statements made in this, and thus it is that a des cription of this parade is difficult, be cause a truthful enumeration of its almost innumerable attractions would seem exaggerated, so much greater and grander than the attractions of usual street parades are they; therefore tho reader must be contented with the plain mention of only a portion of the features of the grand free street parade, and see for themselves the rest. There are herds of elephants and droves of camels those wonderful ships of the desert towing beautiful tableaux. There are twelve superb tableaux cars, resplendent in purplo and gold, scarlet and silver. These magnificent structures on wheels represent important events in the world. Beauteous ladies and handsome gentle men, costumed in gorgeous attire of olden days, recline beneath silver pano plies, or stand in armors of steel and silver as heroes of mediieval times. There aro six open dens of wild beasts, each containing the human master of each den aud showing how, even in the excitement of the throng, man can con trol the fiercest of the brute creation. There is a congress ot nations, grouped iinnn mimimniii nniiLH. 211111 renreKeniinir correctlv iu color and dress every race and nationality of people on the globe. There are cavalcades of knights and ladies en route to the tournament; there are groups of masqueraders and harle quins and clowns; there are bands of plantation jubilee singers, filling the air wilh;their pathetic ballads, weird and mirthful shouts. There are five bands of music, which make the very atmos phere throb with the richest harmonies; there are bagpipers, Irish pipers, Tyro lese warblers and musicians of all coun tries. There are hundreds of other fea tures which cannot be enumerated here and above all floating the flags and banners of all nations. The glittering gold, the sheen of silver, the glistering of gems, the shimmering of silks and satins, the kaleidoscope of color, all charm the eye; the blare of the bands, the crash of the drums, the songs of the siugers, the joyous shouts of the darkies, the plaudits of the populace, entrance the ear and all go to make up a grand holiday wherever the Cook & Whitby show appears. Will show in Columbus Wednesday, June 1-L. World's Fair Travelers Will Have It. The public demand through service when traveling. It is old-fashioned to "Change Cars."

A Citizen Protests- Apiinxt the Present State or Thin-s. Ed. Jourkaii : Our body politic is sick, and has been ever since its birth. In spite of the doctors, aud their bills (which are hanging heavy over us) it Ap pears that a cure is impossible. With the exception of one limb, the wholo system seems putrifying from head to foot. If I wsis iu tho place of that ono limb, I believe I would have myself am putated. They have opened hell upon us, so that the dovils mako night hide ous, howling and prowling around. Even the Lord's day has not been ex cepted. This is tho result of granting license to a party who is not able to con trol the contaminated spirits he lets loose. This wa3 all well known, and a great many of us are very sorry that this calamity has been brought upon us again. More Anon.
