CREICHTON COLLEGE.
Commencement Exercises
IlolnRtho Fifth Anniversary of thin
Kind.
A niora beautiful night could not have
boon desired for commencement exor
cises. It was pleasant nnd cool , and tlio
firmament was as clear as iho firmament
of Nebraska Always is when the atorm
clouds and angry winds have made up
their minds to tnko a rest. As a consequence -
quonco , the attendance at Croighton college -
logo commencement 'Wednesday night
filled to excess the capacious hall of tlio
institution. And the gaily and richly at
tired assembly showed beyond the peradventure -
adventure of a doubt that it did not an
ticipate the sudden bursting of another
of those sumtnor storms which , of late ,
liavo made light and summer toilets a
hollow mockery.
Five years have elapsed since the open
ing of this educational institution. There
have been in that time , in the public or-
orciscs of the college , satisfactory evidence
that the cherished object of the institu
tion and the intention of the founders
was being most happily realized. The
elocutionary features and the thought at
times displayed in the original essays of
the students have been of an exceeding
ly high order. So much so indeed as not
only to redound to the credit of the fac
ulty and students but also to convey a
inpro than secret satisfaction to the
friends of the institution.
Last evening there was still another
and equally conclusive proof that the ex
cellent inception is being studiously main
tained. It is true that the features of
the programme last night were in the
main rather lighter than usual ,
that is , there were fewer essays
than formerly , thorp being but ono in
the list. And while that ono was in
every way creditable , it was the only
ono , because , it is learned , accidents had
happened to prevent the reading of two
moro , which would have given the think
ing mind of the youths its full repre
sentation in the programme. Tlio two
young gontlonion who liad boon in
preparation for their appearance had
written most beautiful compositions , but
were prevented from appearing by un
fortunate physical injuries , which kept
them from class work until almost the
last day of the season.
The programme opened with an over
ture from Boottgcr , most excellently
rendered by the Musical Union orches
tra. This organization was in largo num
ber and rendered some delightful music
at intervals during the evening. Their
oyery piece evoked hearty demonstra
tion of appreciation from the audience.
The Co'.lcgo Glee Club , numbering
soyon boys , under the direction of Father
Miles , sang that air familiar to every
college boy , "Upidoo , " with excellent
tnsto , appreciation and effect. Later in
the evening , thov sang a vacation song ,
and also "Good Night , " the latter a par
aphrasing of Abt's beautiful piece. The
last mentioned number was most tender
ly and entertainingly rendered , especial
ly in the piano passages. It was sung
without accompaniment , and the moro
to the credit of the vocalists , because it
showed not alone ( ho skill of the instruc
tor , but also the correctness of ear and
the ability of the singers.
Master Frank McGuckin , ono of the
minima , rood Longfellow's "MonkFolix"
in excellent style , as did nlso Master
James Rush , Gerald Griffin's beautiful
poem the "Sister of Charity. " The first
mentioned little follow was trained by
Mr. Owens and the latter by Mr. Gart-
land.
land.Master
Master Frank McGinn sang "Shells of
the Ocean" sweetly.
Tlio essayist of the evening was Master -
tor Peter Sherlock , n young gentleman
from South Pass , Wyoming. Ho is a
young man who , in two years , has made
three classes , and berne off prizes and
honors so numerous as to delight his
parents in their mountain homo. His
essay was entitled "A Fading Post. "
The speaker compared the literature of
the present with that of ancient times.
Ho deprecated the decrease of learning ,
and asked where were tlio men to-day
who could compare with tho. philoso
phers and poets of the Grecian isles. Ho
held that the facilities for education
wcro abundant to-day , but the colleges
had to go begging for patron
age , The world 'now could not
compare in intelligence to Great
Britain in the Elizabethan period , or
even in the days of those intellectual
giants Webster , Clay and Cnlhoun. The
speaker made an eloquent appeal for ed
ucation through college training. Mr.
Sherlock's deli very was forcible and made
a line effect. As an original production
the oration was very able , full of thought
and well constructed , Mr. . Sherlock
is a bright young man , and his- future is
full of promise. ' Ho'was in the immedi
ate .direction of Mr. J..F. Dorgiit , ' S. J.
The closing fcaturo of the literary part
of tlio prograiiimo was the comedy
"Makipg tlio Dialogue. "
Dialogues have always figured , in those
exorcises , and with so much success as tc
arouse considerable desire among the
students of tho' college to bo selected to
take part. Only the jmost enthusiastic
and most capable speakers ore honored
by being assigned to parts , hence the uni
form success which has attended the presentation -
sontation of the little comedies.
The plot of the piece consisted in the
secret mooting of a number of unpledged
orators , burning with a dosiro'to eloctrjf )
un audience. They moot to devise sonu
means "getting on" the dialogue and
suggest al kinds of * subjecti
which they would like to introduce
troduco into the piece , and upon whicl
they would like to expatiate to the doloo
tation of thuir friends and admirers. OIK
of them would like to speak upon "as
phaltum pavements , " another on "thi
dude , " a tnird pit "fairies , " a fourth 01
"tho abolition of holidays and vacation,1
a fifth on the "Jefferson Squiiro marko
house , " a sixth on a telephone which hi
wanted to patent and so on ad inflnitum
Tlio gathering is , of course , too demo
cratic. and the objections so multifont
and various , that it is impossible for tin
yonngatuc to agree upon any definite phu
to suggest to the professor. As a consequence
quonco there is at times a confuaion o
tongues of the kind which it supposed i >
liavo prevailed nt Itabol some kmio ago , i
confusionnot the luss interesting bocuusoo
being boyish and original. Incidental t
the nicotine is the recitation of n piece b ;
each of the doliberators , which is pei
foinied as follows !
Blaster John E. Simpson spoke "Th
Old Lady's Lament ; " Master John 13
Furay , "Two Hiacliiofs ; " Master Chas
J ) , Gibbon , "Tho World Would bo th
Bettor for it ; " Master John St. Olaii
"Tho Bpy Wo Never Told a Lie ; " M 5
tor Jos. T. Flannigan , "Tho Asphi !
Roller ; " Master W. A. Flannigau , "Th
Bella of Sluuidon ; " Master Mortiit Mi
Oath , "Liberty or Death. " Every ono
of these pieces brought forth most hearty
applause. They were all excellently
rendered , and so diverse in their sub
jects , alternating from grave to tray , that
whentho _ people wore not in smiling and
ughing mood , it was because they were
wrapped in appreciation of what con
duced to moro sobcrthought. The dialogue
introduced an incredible amount of local
hits most interesting and amusing , and
kept tlio audience in excellent humor
throughout.
The piece was produced with consider
able stage business , tlio little fellows not
only speaking but also acting with intol-
gcnco and ability. It is no derogation to
the other little gentlemen to specify the
reading of the Father Prout'a "Bolls of
Slmndon , " by William Flannigan. It
was a wonderful specimen of elocution in
ono so young , and its repetition was re
quested by certain parties of the audi
ence but the request was considerately
declined because of a desire to not fatigue
the little follow , whohad not only spoken ,
but also sung during the evening. The
dialogue closed with a grand reading in
concert by all the participant * ! of Tenny
son's "Charge of the Light Brigade. "
The harmony , the precision , the varying
tones , the gestures of the boys in the
piece , wan universally commended.
The dialogue was the work of Mr. Ed
ward A. O'Brien , and the training of the
participants was duo to him.
Tlio ucautif ul hall was most finely and
appropriately decorated for the occasion.
On the front of the stage was erected a
labyrinth of framework forming a sort of
proscenium , painted white and relieved
with gold. Each side was surmounted
with a crucifix * , and immediately under
the left crucifix was a splendid portrait
in oil of the late Edward Croighton , the
founder of the college , and under the
one on the right a like portrait of his
wife , Mrs. Mary L. Croighton. Just
under the arch appeared in largo capitals
the letters "A. M. D. G. " Ad Mtjorl-
atn Jcf Gloriam The Greater Glory of
God , which is the motto of the society of
Jesuits. Under this was the simple
word "Vbctori" in gilt letters. All this
was sot off with flags and festooning , the
whole presenting a most pleasing ap
pearance.
_ The exercises closed with the distribu
tion of prizes , which were awarded to
heads of classes by the Right Ror. Bishop
O'Connor , as follows :
The Croighton prize for best catecheti
cal essay , was won by John A. McCreary.

I noticed in THE BEE an article entitled
titled "Tlio Rod Flag , " in which it ia
related that a person desiring to auction
off goods put out a rog flag , thorobj
frightening the public into a belief that
the small pox was once moro playing sad
havoc in our midst. .
Sinco- coming to this promising city I
have frequently wondered why a rod flag
is used as a signal of contagious diseases ,
while in at least most of the cities a yel
low flag is. used for that purpose. In the
army a yellow flag means sickness and
even the enemy respects it by keeping
away.
In such small cities as Now York ,
Chicago atftl St. Louis , a red flag is an in
vitation to como In and buy. Now , why
in this growing metropolis , where strangers
ore to bo mot on every hand , should they
bo invited to walk into a pest house ,
while citizens are driven away front
opportunities' to buy cheap ? Can't you
attach your hook anil line and jerk this
unusual practice into the middle of the
Big Muddy thereby insuring the lives
of our visitors , and making our auctions
to bloom with ) larger returns ?

SEVEN SISTERS.
The Bright Bcyy of Girl Graduates
from the High School ,
Entertaining KnsnyB at tlio Opera
JIotiHC IjaMt livening.
The tenth animal commencement of
the Omaha High School occurcd last eve
ning at the opera house , and before the
exercises wcro half through the largo au
dience was convinced that the class of
' 63 was ono of the mont giaccful and in
telligent that has yet come from our pub
lic schools. Tlio lately organized brass
band of the Omaha Musical Union gave
several selections , playing for the first
time publicly , wo buliove. This was sup
plemented by some very excellent chorus
singing by the ninety scholars of the
high Hchool room seated on the stage nnd
led by Miss Lucia llogers , Miss House
being at the piano.
The programme opened with a march ,
"Tho Golden Chain , " piano duet by Mis
ses Withnoll nnd House. Miss Lizzie J.
Fonwick wad the first essayist , her sub
ject being "Science and Superstition , "
in which she showed how the infinite su
periority of natural phenomena had led
to the peculiar superstitions of many
early peoples. Science , over on the alert
to correct superstitious ideas , has swept
away all this. The whirlpool is no longer
to us a monster , nor the rainbow a drag
on. Superstition has furnished material
to the poet , nnd has served all religions ,
but the light of the nineteenth century
is too strong for it. Miss Edith E.
Phelps gave a very practical discussion of '
"Homo Culture. " The preparation for
tlio battle of life is made at home under
' and there whatever
the mother's influence ,
ever talent the child displays should
meet its first encouragement.
Miss Huldah F. Isaacson spoke upon
"Nature and Art , " tracing the growth of
the fine arts and arguing that the artist
must needs bo a good and true man to
hear that voice in nature which speaks to
him only. The "Pilgrim Chorus , " from
Wagner , was rendered by the school arid
then a diverting allegory was given by
liss Ida L. Remington , in which her
ass was pictured as "In Open Sea" in
10 good bark "H. S. , " which had been
ruising amidst the islands -of philosophy
id science and letters. She turned a
eat compliment to their late and their
ow principal. The class recitation was
ion given by the seven young lady grad
ates , Poo's "Bolls , " in which they had
eon faithfully drilled by Miss Harden
urgh. By a beautiful coincidence there

FELO DE SE ,
An Unknown Man Attempts to Climh
the Golden Stair hy the
Strychnine ,
Tlic Cnnso Alleged ( o lie Domestic
Infelicity.
About 10 o'clock last evening as Ofliccr
Pat Hinchey was tramping his weary
beat ho was accosted by an excited
young man , who said a man had just
gone down Farnam street on a St. Mary's
avenue car who appeared to bo suffering
from something ho could not explain ,
and asked Hinchoy's belli. Whim the
car returned from the depot Hinchey met
it and found a man stretched out appar
ently in the last stages of existence. Ho
unloaded the inanimate object at Fif
teenth street and carried him to the city
jail , where Dr. Leisenring was summoned
by telephone. The Dr. arrived and pro
nounced it a case of poisoning , and ad
ministered emetics , which , in a few min
utes , operated , and in a short time the
'patient was able to talk.
Ho said ho was married day before
yesterday to Miss Emma Hesser , of
Plattsmouth , daughter of W. J. Hesser ,
the florist. They came to Omaha and
stopped at the Metropolitan , where they
passed ono day of unalloyed domestic
bliss , but the second day the green-eyed
monster intruded and destroyed tho'tem-
plo. The husband , Mr. R. C. Van
Cleaves , betook himself to the
shady nooks of Hanscom park ,
and imbibed the destructvio
decoction called strychninennd tvs is stated
above , was discovered by officer Hinchoy.
Ho was visited at the jail last evening by a
BEK reporter. Ho had not fully recov
ered and was not able to converse ration
ally , but stated that his wife was still at
the Metropolitan , and that they had been
followed by some fiend in human shape
who was seeking to destroy his domestic
happiness. Faithful inquiries failed to
develop anything that would warrant
THE BEE in such an assertion. The
Metropolitan was visited and the alleged
bride failed to materialize. The clerk
said she had departed before noon , and
her whereabouts was unknown.
VanCleaves was discharged this morn
ing by the authorities , who of course
hold him only for his own safety , and
appeared to bo entirely recovered , prom
ising not to repeat the attempt on his
own life. Ho went back to the Metro
politan , where his wife really had been
all the timo. The poor lady was worried
to death about her. husband , knowing
nothing of his whereabouts or trouble
until this morning.
Van Cleaves had written a letter to his
wife , which was subsequently found in
his pocket , in which ho stated that ho
was going to commit auicido. A man
who is well acquainted with all the par
ties thinks the mysterious individual who
shadowed Van Cleaves intended to kill
both husband and wife had ho run across
thorn , and says Van Cleaves would be
justified in shooting him down in his
tracks the first time ho mceta him.
A silver miner out at Clear Creek ,
Was so hearse ho could hardly speak ,
Ho loft his toil ,
Got St. Jacobs Oil ,
In a minute it cured his squeak.
