Sunday evening, like the one of the morning to Jbe college congregation by Dr. House 6f Portland, was a masterpiece of thought, erudition and eloquence. The congregation that filled the house to its utmost capacity was held by the magnetism and person ality of the speaker in high tension from the first word to the last. Many who had heard the preacher in his home church in Portland came to hear him and remained at the close of the service for a cor dial handshake.. The choir main tained its high record , in the- ser vice. The church was" beautifully decorated in cut flowers represent ing the color and spirit of Harvard the Alma Mater of Dr. House. Miss Wavelle Cunningham, once a popular student, at O. A. C. committed suicide in Portland Thursday night. She was at the college about four years ago, and attended a year. Then she went to Stanford. A long account of how she passed a check at a Port land jewelry store, and of the further fact that there was no mon ey in the bank to cover the check, appeared lately in the Portland pa pers. That was, perhaps, ten days ago. Then came the other and final tale, a tragic narrative of how the young woman turned on the gas in her room, and paid with her life whatever of obligation . her -act had made her owe the world. Her father had made good the check by straightening but the affair with ' the bank,' and there was no, charge against Miss Cunningham. Her home was in an Eastern Oregon town. There are many mournful aspects in this unfortunate k case, which those who knew her as a pretty and interesting girl at O. A: C. view with deep regret. Under authority by telegraph from Washington, the local post office will observe Corvallis day as a holiday. ( Miss Frances French of Al bany returned to her home Tues day after a visit with Mrs. Cecil Cathey. Tickets for Tnursday's excur sion can be bought this afternoon at the postoffice, at Btackledge'?, at the S. P. and C. & E depots. All who can 6hould buy today, for there will not be time before the train starts tomorrow. One of the most enjoyable social affairs of Commencement week was the dinner given the O: A. C. football team at the home of Dr. James Withycombe Monday evening. The rooms presented a pretty picture" arranged in green and white. Mrs. Withycombe was assisted in serving by Misses Helen Steiwer, Mabel Davis, Luella Van Cleve, Louise Cooper, Edna Irvine, and Mabel Withycombe. - The guests were, Beit Pilkington, Dow Walker, Floyd Williams, Earl Rhinehart, A. B. Bower, W. G. Abraham, J. Emily, Will Dunlap, Karl Steiwer. Kenneth Cooper, and Ray Walker." r . ---Baccalaureate Sunday was one of the most successful in the history of OAC: The sermon by Dr. House, of Portland, wos of a kind with one by a Methodist divine from Spokane a 1 number of years ago. The' Armory was simple but beautifully decorated. The graud uating class, 48 in number, occu pied front seats, and city ministers, the faculty and others were on the platform. Music by the vocal de partment was most excellent, and the sermon wonderful. A great audience of perhaps more than 1,200 people filled the auditorium A more imposing scene or an oc casion more eloquent of the glory and greatness of OAC was never seen. The recital of the Vocal depart ment of O. A. C. under the direc tion of Mrs. E. F. Green, in the College chapel, on Mouday even ing a well deserved success, and a fitting completion of. the year's work. A full house and an appre ciative audience greeted those who took part in the programme. The platf or m displayed tasteful decor ation and the class " presented a splendid appearance.. Flattering applause was accorded all those who had numbers. Among those on the programme were Miss Bu chanan, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Ingle, Mr. Knapp, Miss Allen, Miss Keady, Miss McBee, Miss Stewart, Miss Von der Hellen, Miss Herron, Miss Phiilips and Mrs. F. L- Mil ler. Ruthyn Turney added much to the pleasure of the evening by his artistically rendered violin obli gate. Gratifying success has at tended the vocal department under Mrs. Green' with an enrollment of eighty pupils this year. GRADUATING EXERCISES. In Department of Instrumental Mu sicTook Place Saturday Evening, In college chapel Saturday night occurred the Piano Gradua tion Recital by Louise Smith Glan ville, a pupil of Prof. Taillandier. In spite of the field meet in Salem, which took, -many people from this town, the; recital was largely at tended, and the" applause of the audience showed their appreciation. The program was a very exacting one, including a Beethoven Sonata, Liszt Rhapsody, several pieces by Henselt and Chopin and the diffi cult. Concerto by Hummel in a minor. .' The orchestral accompani ment was played on a second piano by Prof. Taillandier. y (. Many people look upon pupils recitals as tedious, but this recital was a revelation to many present, and all who attended last Saturday went home enthusiastic in praise of the performance. ' Mrs. Glanville played with ease and artistic finish and delighted her audience with the different pieces, which on ac count of their contrast gave new interest to every number. Prof. Taillandier is to be , con gratulated upon his pupil and also on the standard which he has set for graduation. We are told that is following here in , Corval lis the same ' standard that he followed during the seventeen years that he taught in Boston. White kid slippers at Kline's.

Arrangements for celebrating Corvallis and Benton Day at the Fair are perfecting, and it becomes more and more apparent that the thing is to be unanimous. .It looks now as if, not only the whole town but the whole county is to go. The proposition to make the day a hum mer is without a dissenting voice. The features for the Portland ev ent are taking shape fast and in dicate that there is genius behind the plan. The most conspicuous arrangement perhaps is a banner to be carried in the - parade. The statement seems impossible and yet jt is a fact that this banner, now ready for use, is actually 150 yards or 450 feet long. Portland never saw anything like it before and op en mouthed wonder will certainly stare from every pavement and street corner at the mammoth streamer. How it is to be carried and what will be on it. cannot be described here. Fine art has con trived a way for it to stream its full length and flaunt in the , gaze of the multitude while Benton people parade Portland. It is worth the while of home people to go to Portland to see how it is all to be done, especially when with the low fare it is cheaper to go than to stay at home. The great banner bears many a legend. Ther is a column of good reading matter in it about Benton. "Bencon still grows hops, even if she is dry." is one inscription and ' 'thermometers do not have to be kept on ice in summer or blanketed in winter," is another. The Coffee Club of Corvallis is to be at the City hall all this after noon to tie up sample products to carried in the parade in Portland. Flowers are wanted and : contribu tions of them are solicited. Can those who have them send them to the city hall this afternoon Coffee Club people will arrange them for use at Portland., Strawberries, cherries, vegetables and other prod ucts are also desired for use in making up a feature for .the parade quite as spectacular as the banner will be. It is also requested that every person wno goes tase aiong if at all possible, a bouquet of roses or other flowers to be borne in the parade. - 4 ' .

A runaway with more than usual of the spectacular in it, occur red Monday afternoon, and for a time supplied plenty of excitement. The outfit was the delivery wagon with the gray team of which Har lan Taylor is driver. The horses took a spin on their own account, several weeks ago, but in that af fair the damage was only nominal. The second appearance in the role was attended with vaster conse quences in all respects. The start was somewhere in the south end of town. The flight involved Third street, going north, until Jackson was reached, when the speeding veered eastward on to Main, where they turned south, clearing the street as they ran. Naar Miller's store the wagon collided with an electric light pole. The reach gave way and all of the vehicle except a portion of the front works was left there. The fright of the horses was now worse than ever, and leav ing Main, they turned out to third again. At Mrs. Lee's corner they collided with George Armstrong's family carriage. - A wheel of the latter was spoiled, the double tree broken and other damage done. The Armstrong team started also to run, but it was caught before a good start had been effected. Mean time, the delivery wagon had been reduced to a condition oi almost total wreck. The outfit is the property of Captain George Robin son. TODAY'S PROGRAMME. The program for the graduating exercises in College Armory, at 10 o'clock sharp, this Wednesday morning.
