It scorns but a day since the doors ol Crolgliton college were opened for the reception of students , nnd yet not las' than eight yesirs have elapsed sJneo tlmi well-remembered ovunt. Kncli of these years , as they liavo folded Into the past , has boon signalized by collcgiato enter mcuLs which have bcon , In many re spccts , the marvel of the times. As r rule , the audiences which have onjoyct' these intellectual ovonlnffs have boon of the most representative chnr.tclcr , and few of the people composing them felt otherwise than thai the cause of advanced education , to those desiring it as frco as thu wind Hint blows was being excellently subserved. For Ihooicbth titnu , since the opomnp of the college , an audience ) assembler last evening in thu hall of the collegu U witness another of its colnnioncomcnt ox ercises. Like its predecessors , it waf represuntatlve , inlclligont and upprccia < live. A number of loading oiti/.ons were present , immediately In front of the stage sat a number of Catholic clergy' men , among them being Hov. M. I' . Uowling. president of the college , anil Fathers sliaflbl , S. J. , Koopmans , S. J. , Kiguc , S. J. , Jeannctte anil Daxachur. The stn"o was ranged at the back with a row of email's , in the middle of which stood an attractive row of books antl medals , intended for distribution among the .students , HoH'man's orchestra opened with Schloppegroll'a "Tourist. " The prologue , an original picco in rhyme , "What Echo thinks of Crclghton college , " was excellently contrived , Master - tor Itodoriok Murphy reciting it in H vcrj clover niannur , thu answers of the ochc attracting much attention. The drill of the elocution class Intro- uncon in recitations Masters M. 11 , Walsh , licrnartl Hollo. Kdward Maginnis anil Samuel Grace. The oHbrta of these little follows wore warmly appreoiated. Poo's "Hells" Phil was recited by Mc Millan , assuming the silver , Thos Swift , the golden , E. M. McCroary , the brazen and Harry Cotter , the iron bolls. The part of each lad was adapted to his voice. The idea was to inuny unique , and heartily appreciated by all. The recita tions wore concluded by an exercise in unison , Introducing all the voices as it wore as a chime of bolls. The College Glee club sang "Moon light on the Lake , " and to au encore- re sponded with "Boatman , row mo o'er the Stream. " The duet by John Mulick anil Hartnell Murray , "Tho Harp anil the Willow , " was most deservedly encored. The alto voice of Murray was a little weaker than the tenor of young Mulick , but ho sang with courage and precision , as indeed did his companion It was certainly : v vocal gem , The chorus "Sunrise" by the St. Cicilia society was remarkable for the purity ol the higher voices. Every one of them was as clear and pure as young voices may bo , ypt , above them coufel easily bo disting uished the belKUkq .sweetness , and clear ness of tlio voifco' ' d'f 'ii ' 41tllo boy named Thomas Swift.

The chairman regretted that , owing to the limited time allowed , the dcbaton could not give as full a specimen of theii exercise in elcbating as they would wish , How much so "over they wore inclined tc glvo pleasure to the audlonco , they fell they could not do so at the sacrifice ol the patience of the audience. As tliej could see in the printed programmes , the debate was couched In the terms. "Are Strikes Beneficial to Strikers and Their Country ? . " The tirsf , speaker , in the .afllrmativo , John Wimlen , contended that they were Ho did not intend , however , to include in the list of holiest'workingmcn thai refuse of nations , that scuih of society , tliii socialists or , better , anarchisms. Wore they given a thought other than whal wouluplan their extermination or a word other than would down them to death ; il wcro too mijoh honor done them. Thoj would not bo elevated to the rank ol labor , neither would labor bo degraded to their plans. With the understanding that "strikers" wore men of true and up right principles , seeking to improve then conditon , ho'hdld ' that strikes wore thoii only moans of defense. A laborer , in the first pliioo was a man equally capable as n capitalist of discriminating uotweoti right and wrong. The laborer dillercd from the capitalist only in that the lattci possessed the advantage of riches , while the former had all tlio sorrows of the poor. Should only ono clasi enjoy the privileges of oui great government. Both wore entitled to and should receive thobcuotiti of freemen. Ono could not enjoy then : without the other. If the more powerful stopped over the boundary of justice une oppress the weak , had not the weak the right to resist ? Granting that right , il should bo admitted that tlio only mean. by which they might resist successfully was beneficial to thorn , And , ho hold strikesworo , the only means within the power of the poor man. The spcakei then draw n powerful picture of the mis cry of the poor , stinted wages , long hours of toll , equalid homes , pale nnd languit children and the wasting away ol the wife and mother , who sutlers for the hus band and father with toar-rcddeneil eyes yet over hopeful for the tuturo. Wore not workmen organized would tholr de mands bo barkened to , much loss respected spectod ? Whether their rights bo grunted or not , the fatrlko Is beneficial to them , as they stand up for justice. And as it was bonetielal to them , it must bo necessarily so to the government , of which they form the solid ilush ami bone. The lirst speaker for the negative , Harry Town , told the audlonco ho was not a capitalist , yet ho would not defend the capitalist nor condemn the laborer. What was the watchword of strikers and of unions ? "Was it not down with mon < opolit's , down with capitalists and thoh corporations ! " ' Suppose capitalists did go down , what wouui ensue ? Why , such a depression would follow that those now loudest in their denunciation would bo most clamorous for their ro-instato- niont. Wo had railroads , to every point , also telegraph , telephones , and ships and countless other industries. AU of those required capital. S liOuld capital then go tlqwn ? Worklngmou gnlnou nothing uj strikes , They did not injure the-cprpor- ntlonq so muck as thtf country , its trade nnd themselve's. Their plea was poverty , they complained of long hours and small pay , but will thov Improve their lot by n series of revolts , by overlaying idleness' ' The sneaker then referral to the cast of twenty men , who , although thc'i ' wages had shortly before that boon'In' creased , deliberately debated whether in not they would strike , notwithstanding that they knew that the employment of r thousand men depended upon their ac lion. Ho did not want to bo told thai those mrn were standing up for1 right They were not standing up for right ; withhold them , They simply saw : chance to raise themselves , oven had the to take the steps on broken hearts. Thai poverty existed among workmen cotili not bo gainsaid , neither could It bo gain said that the poverty was occasioned lj ( the much abused loni hodrs anil shot pay. It was a fact tliatnntch of it wti caused by strong drink and canlcs5siic4i ! in saving. If reformation , were com mcni'cd ut home , if the surplus use o boor and whisky were suppressed am rare nnd economy oxdresheu. imibh of tin poverty of the workingolnsses woult take wings and jlv away. TllCiro was where the strike should begin , , The second speaker in the alllrmatlvo re viewed tlio arguments of thn young mai who preceded him , anil held nA false UK idea that organizrtion among working men conduced to violence ; and mob law During the recent uprisjhjrs 'In Uhlcngi resolutions condemning such violence hnt been adopted by sons of Jabor. Shouli men of such mould ba-hald clangorous ti society ? Were they not rather lovers < i their country ? Now that workmer reaped tlio golden harvest , who 'cbtilj deny the beneficial cflectg in both nloi and country ? Who could object to tht grand strike which caused John , king oi hngland , to yield to the united barons the historical magna charta. Who coult deny the bonplicial elTects of tha strike ol the colonists in America against England the dictator of Iho worla ? Wno wouh deny the beneficial effects of Ire hum's urcsont strikewhether or not sue cessful ? What difference is there in tht principle of the thing whether the stnkei is a nation or an individual ? It had bom : said that all strikes litid not been success ful , " but ho hold that even when not sue cessful strikes could not bo otherwise than successful which originated with r just causo. One stop , ono rung in tlio ladder - dor might not be sulllcient to enable the climber to roach the height desired , bul oven that rung led upward nnd the lix- ing of it was neither time nor labor lost Ono strike might bo the lowest rung in the ladder of progress , but by pcrsovor anco the ladder would bo finished ami the object gained. Who should say thai with all our strikes the laborer and the country had not been bonclitted ? Thomas , ) . Hussoll closed the debate. His opponent had lost sight of the facl that capitalists had rights as well as workingine.il. No workingman would condemn a fellow worker because lit sought to secure a homestead. No la borer would brook that intcrlorcnce which would interfere with what be longed to him. If the laborer had the right to acquire property , ho had the right to retain it. So had the capitalist. A\ hat law prevented him from bccominc richer ? What name would bo applied to the laborer who would endeavor to pre vent a capitalist from exorcising thai right ? It was because they sympathized with the laborer that they opposed strikes. All .strikes didn't originate from real grievances. The remedy for the ! wrongs of workingmcn was * ' tlio "ballot box. They should secure men for ollico who would enact laws which would nlToril ihein protection. Lot workingmen - men rise in. their might to redress their wrongs , but lot them rise "at thel righl time nnd and . , placet with-tho-atrong.ami ; -of power when , thoy. stood-'at lh polls with the badge " of freemen , "thu "ballot in their hands. ' * ' ' J The chairman left each auditor to decide - cido for himself or herself as to whiohside had won the debate. The subject was finally developed , in so far as the aim of the writers extended ! The arguments , however , were not ex haustive , the governing idea seeming tc bo to avoid extremes and - wounding-'thc feelings of auditors , who of course , mighl bo found to espouse either side. Din clearness , and strength and beautj of language , the debate was remarkable for such younjr people. It was listened tc with close attention , and each of the eio- balers was rewarded by the audience witli both llowers and applause STILL TALKING ON TAXATlpN. Mr. Read's Latest Complaint to the County CqminlHSlonors. The county commissioners devotee : three hours of their valuable time yes terday afternoon in a discussion will : Mr. A. C.

Mr. Read notified Chairman Corliss of the board that un less the board took some action updn the complant he would compel them bj a mandamus writ to act upon the mat tor. tor.Mr. Mr. Corlis questioned Mr. Read's righl to make complaint against the assessment of any person's property without pfefoi that the assessment was not an equitable and just one compared with the property in general. . Mr. Rend maintained that all that was necessary was for him to make the com plaint upon which it become the duty ol the board to examine Into tin ) matter uud satisfy themselves whether there Vyas-anv grounds for complaint. - - - While admitting that ho had no specific complaint , and no personal knowledge of the matter in the promises , Mr. Head maintained that the assessment.of th.o personal property of McCord.Brady t $ Co , Paxton & Gallagher , Edndv & 'uib- bon , W.

Ho had no positive , knowl edge of the yiiluo of the personal1 "pi'op- orty of the iinns and persons named , but on general principles thought their as sessment too low , ' ' ' The commissioners devilled .that the } could not take any action upon'HO general - oral n charge and asked foe a more spo < cllio complaint. Mr. Head said he would prepare and sign a coniplaintwhich _ he promised would contain .the desired tTpeV cihc charges.

The blood wo often say is a great livingrlvor , In Its current are masses which the all in the lungs did not affect : blocks ol chalk ; slabs of tartar ; pieces of bono- ash , strings of albumen ; drops of mo lasses , and lines of alcohol.

This separation of hnio , uric ncld anil other waste material from the blood without robbing it of a particle of the life fluid , posses human comprehension , li health this blood purifying process is car ried on without our knowledge. The or gaus In which it is done are faithful ser vunts whoso work Is silent as long ai health remains. "People strangely wait until pah strikes a nerve before they will realize that they have any trouble. They do no ( know that pain concerns chiefly the ex terlor not the interior of the body. A certain tain sot of nerves connect these blooi purifying organs with the brain. Thej may not gnaw and bite as does the tooth ache or a scratch , but they regularly silently report When these organs an failing these nerves indicate it by draw ing the blood from the face and cheek leaving the I'm and eye blanched by send ing uric acid poison into the smallcs veins , the skin then becoming gray yellow or brown.
