The address to the graduatea waa de-

llvered by Judge Jacob Fawcett of Omaha.
Judge Fawcett confined his remarks to
giving the eleven young men of the senior
clans a warning as to what troubles
awaited them In the business world.
Dan-era of Today.
He warned them to beware of four gods
fadlara, fashion, office aeektng and graft.
He declared fads had a firm hold on the
American people now and thought the
young college men could do a great deal
to tear the educated classes away from this
"god."
"Fashion," Judge Fawcett declared, "is
a tinsel god; It will not bear Inspection.
If you touch it, it shrinks away."
In office seeking the judge asserted that
hundreds of Americans are sacrificing
their business to petty politics without re
ceiving any gain. He said It was no longer
an honor to attain to a political offloe.
"The time has come when many of the
public offices of the country are tilled
with men who have grafted their way into
them."
The fourth "god" which he held up as a
warning he termed the "twin god of gold
and graft." This deity he believed did
more harm to the men who became wealthy
than It did to any of the people who had
to give way to permit these men to amass
wealth. - .
Members of Close Speak.
Before Judge Fawcett spoke two ora
tions were delivered by members of the
graduating class. Cornelius- J. Peacock

Biixlna at Shamrock Clab.
The Shamrock Athletic association gave
another exhibition at the club rooms last
night. The entire evening was given over
to boxing, from three rounds up to the
amateur limit. The first bout was sched
uled for four rounds between Murphy and
Sweeney of Indian 1 1 i II. In the third
round It waa apparent that Sweeney was
not In condition to fight another round,
so the last round was omkted. He had not
been In practice long enough to keep his
wind.
The second tout was between Dodo and
Kelly of the featherweight class. It was a
series of astonishing windmills and paw
lngs in the air. Occasionally there were
symptoms ol science.
The principal match was between Talbot
of Omaha and Brosnlhan of South Omaha.
The fight was declared a draw at the be
ginning, as no flniHh fighting Is permitted.
This bout was a good illustration of mod
ern fighting. Over half the time was
epent In clinches and In exchanging short
Jats. Honors were practically en. Al
though Brosnlhan forced the fight all the
time, he was able to make little Impres
sion on the Omaha boy, who finished as
well as he began. Brosnlhan also finished
strong and seemed capable of ten rounds
more. The South Omaha Owls have an
nounced a long program at the Ancient
Order of United Workmen temple June SI.

Friday, June 18, between the Hog Yards
and the Sheep Barn teams of the Union

pects are that the attendance will be large.
The "Hogs" and the "Sheep" have played
two games this season, each taking a game,
and this is the game for blood, and both

Base Ball team Is anxious to schedule
Sunday games both in or out of the city.
