W3T THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1900. URGE CUSS GRADUATES COMMEJiCEMEXT EXERCISES PORTIiAXD HIGH SCHOOL. AT Diplomas Presented by Chairman "Warren, of the School Board Mr. Paxtoa'i Address. An audience which filled the large as sembly .hall of the High School was gath ered last night to -witness the forty-third commencement. The decorations -were very simple, but the long tables, heaped with a great profusion of flowers and the stage, covered with the white-robed grad uates, gave the hall a holiday appear ance. Two numbers were well played by the High School orchestra, under the di rection of Mr. Milner. lira, Albert Sheldon sang Denza's pretty "May Morning' and Liza Lehman's "You and I." Both songs were given in good voice and with intel ligence, the delicate pianissimo effects In the 'latter number being done with un usual skill and feeling. Two violin num bers were played by Miss Marie I. S. Connor, with so admirable a technique that an encore was demanded. It proved to be Felix Renaud's "Bereuso, No. 2," and all its lyric beauty and caress.ng tenderness were fully revealed. Mr. Futon's Address. Hon. O. F. Paxton. wno was graduated from the Portland High School In 1a7S. delivered the address to the class. He said: "I return with great pleasure to my alma mater to welcome the June class of 1900 from the schoolroom into the world. I congratulate you upon success fully completing the course of study In the High School. It is a tine and honor able thing to complete that course of study and to cdmmence life bearing the diploma of such a. school. It signlttes that you have acquired much useful learning; 'that your minds have been trained to the use of knowledge; that you have acquired habits of industry, punc tuality and order, indispensable in after life, and that you are upright in char acter and correct in deportment. These are splendid credentials. "Some of you may contemplate the fur ther pursuit of knowledge In colleges or institutions where instruction Is given in technical pursuits or classical learning beyond the curriculum of public schools, but I presume the majority of you go from this school Into the active duties of life; to choose your life calling and enter upon your life's work. What I &ay to night will be more directly addressed to 'those who are thus entering active life." Mr. Paxton reminded the graduates, with much eloquence, o their broad du ties as citizens, counseled Integrity, wnich Is the foundation 01 every successful character, urged the argument that only by Industry can any one advance in these days of tierce competition, admonished them to keep good company, advised them never to abandon hope and recom mended them to cultivate Nature. High School Reminiscences. Mr. Paxton, In closing, drew compar isons between the High School of lb7t and that of today, as follows: "I think I may be permitted to Indulge on this occasion In reminiscence and com parison. 1 believe it will be interesting and instructive if I tell you something of the High School and the commencement exercises at the time I graduated in June, 1S78, and of the growth and changes which have taken place since then. The graduating class of 1S7S numbered 13. There was then no separate High School building. The High School was held in the old wooden building whicn now stands on the north half of the block bounded by Alder, Sixth, Morrison and Seventh streets, then occupying the block upon which the Portland Hotel Is now situated. Part only of It was used for the High School, the other portions being occupied by grammar grades. There was no assembly hall, and the commencement exercises were held In the New Market Theater, which was long since converted into a storeroom. The address to the graduating class was delivered by the Hon. J. N. Dolph, then a leader of the bar, who afterwards served the state with great distinction and ability for 12 years as Senator in Congress. He died In this city a few years ago, generally lamented and honored of all men- His was a character to emulate. He was a noble and patriotic man fearless, honest and great. I remember well his earnest and forceful address to the class. I re call his saying, 'Never was there greater need for educated, thinking men and women, and for men and women of moral Integrity in this country than at the present time. Whatever tests of the strength and stability of our Institutions we have been called upon to pass through in the first century of our National exist ence, the second century of our history. In my Judgment, will bring more dan gerous and. trying tests. You have learned from your study of history the fact that no republic was ever destroyed by opposing armies. . . . The danger of our country today Is from -within. It is mainly from the uneducated class of society. It Is threatened in the Increase of a sentiment that would destroy the oldest of divine institutions, the family; that would blot out religion with Its in stitutions; that would sweep away the rights of property and place the indus trious and indolent, the economical and prodigal upon an equal footing, which would repeal the laws which protect to a man the fruits of his own Industry and compel him to labor for the good of the whole; In a general restlessness under restraints of law. In a growing sentiment which Justifies an attempt to right real or Imaginary wrongs by violence. The great want of this age is obedience obedience In the family, obedience in the school, subordination to the law of the state.' These patriotic words are worthy to be repeated and remembered. "The directors of the school district at that time were Captain J. C Alnsworth, Mr. A. H. Morgan and Hon. H. H. North up. Mr. D. W. Williams was district clerk. Captain Alnsworth, Mr. Morgan and Mr. Williams have passed away, leaving honored names and cherished memories. Professor R. K. Warren, now chairman of the Board of Directors of this school district, who will in a. few mo ments present to you the much-prized diplomas evidencing your graduation, wa then principal of the High School. The school never had an abler or more faith ful principal. He was loved and respect ed by the pupils and by the teachers serving with him. He retired a number of years ago from teaching, but has retained his Interest In educational af fairs, and has served the public with fidelity and ability as a director of the district. Now as then he Is a friend of the young people, and now as then he Is honored by all who know him. "The City of Portland then had a popu lation of about 16,000 or 17.000 people, and the population of Oregon was scarcely 200,000. No building In the city exceeded four stories In height, and buildings of that size were few in number. There were no elevators, telephones or electric cars. We had no railroad connection with the East or with San Francisco or Puget Sound. Now Oregon's population Is near ly 500.000. Portland has grown to be a proud city of 1TO.000 people. The trains of five transcontinental railways daily run In and out of our city, connecting us with every portion of the continent. We sit In our offices and converse by tele phone with all the cities and town of the coast. More than 100 miles of elec tric street railway carry the people to and fro. Great buildings, of size, com fort and magnificence not dreamed of in 1S7S, now dot the city. Ships engaged In commerce from every country come to our wharves. The change is great and wonderful. The change In the next 22 years will be greater and more wonder ful stllL In that change, growth and de- velopment In the future you will share. You should congratulate yourself upon the opportunities It offers. "The first graduating class from the High School graduated In 1S73, and was composed of five members three young ladles and two young gentlemen. Your class numbers 65, and, including your class, 1034 young men and women have graduated from the High School more than 1 per cent of the total population of Portland are graduates of the High School. It is a roll of names to be proud of, and It Is an honor to have our names Inscribed upon it. It includes many men and women who have become prominent In the city and state. I think no other school in the Northwest can show so large a number of graduates, and I am J sure that no othpr school can boast or having sent forth finer women or men. "The public schools of the City of Port land have always been Its pride.. Money and public effort have been freely spent for their support and development. They stand Jn the front rank of the public schools of the United States. Portland's best citizens have deemed it a privilege to serve as School Directors. The list of directors of this district is a roll of hon or. The High School Is the capstone of the" system, and it Is the city's pride. The history of the girls and boys who have graduated from it Is the finest Justifica tion for the existence of the school. They are women and men of whom any city would be proud, and are dally doing hon or to their school and to the city which educated them. When the late war came upon us and the President of the United States called for volunteers, nearly 30 of the graduates and former pupils of tho High School volunteered and became members of the gallant Second Oregon Regiment, of which we are all so proud. Two of them Elliott W. Ordway and Charles F. McKlnnon gave up their lives in the country's service. May their name be remembered with honor. Company H, of the Second Oregon, was largely formed of High School boys, and such was the excellence of their organization and the perfection of their soldierly qualities that the company was taken Intact into the regiment, a distinction not won by any other company of the Oregon National Guard. "Citizens of Portland, are you not proud of your High School boys? "Members of the graduating class, against I congratulate you on the happy and successful closing of your school life. Once more, I welcome you to the high duties and splendid opportunities awaiting you in the world. Your parents, your friends, your teachers, the school officers and the community rejoice In your character and success. They have watched with pride your course thus far, and have high hopes for your future. Their hearts and encouragement go with you into the battle of life. Go forth In all the enthusiasm and high hopes of youth! Fight the battle bravely; do your part nobly! Do credit to your school, bring honor upon your city! May your lives be prosperous and happy! May all good attend you, and may you in after time come back as we have done tonight to bid welcome and Godspeed to happy youths graduating from this noble public school In the June days of the century to come." Chairman R. K. Warren, of the School Board, presented the diplomas, with a few appropriate remarks, and then the 66 happy graduates received the congrat ulations of their many friends.

MANY PHYSICIANS HERE aunual SESSION OF the state MEDICAL SOCIETY". J Dr. "Phelps, of Xevr Yerlc, Operates en Patients Many Interesting: Papers Are Read. The 27th annual session of the Oregon Medical Society convened yesterday morning in Artisans Hall, In this city. The attendance was the largest reported tor several years, ana tne interest mam- fested In the papers and discussions of the day showed that the Oregon doctor is j in love with his profession. The features of the day were the oper- . atlons by Dr. A. M. Phelps, of New York, j wnu is iuu&cu upon as one ol me jeomng orthopedic surgeons in the United States. The operations were preceded by lectures by the noted sugeon. At a o'clock four patients afflicted with club feet were brought in, and upon Improvised operat ing tables the doctor did hjs work right In the hall, in the presence of the gath ered physicians. The second operations by DK Phelps were at the evening session, and were for hip diseases. These were followed very closely by the great crowd of doc- 'mmmmmmmmBnemMammMmMamammmmnmMmm DR. A. M. PnELPS, OF NEW YORK. Dr. Phelps, who was recently made President of the New York State Medical Society, "Is facile prlnceps among- the orthopedic surgeons of the Old World" according- to an expert authority. He hoi, moreover, a great reputation In the New World. Re comes of good old Anglo-Saxon stock. His father arid mother came over with the New England colonists. Dr. Phelps was born In Vermont. From attending tho University of Michigan with a view to be coming & civil engineer, he took up the 'study of medicine. From 18S0 to 1884 Dr. Phelps studied surgery In the leading schools of Europe. He studied under Schede at Hamburg, under Esmarch at Kiel, under Von Volkman at Halle, under Bllloth at Vienna and under Thiersch at Leipzig. On his return to America, Dr. Phelps was called to the chair of ortho pedic surgery at the University of Vermont, and also to the corresponding chair In the University of New York. Upon the retirement of Professor Wright from the chair of sur gery In the first university. Dr. Phelps was appointed his successor, and he still retains the post. The position In the New York University he held for 10 years. In 18ST he was given the chair of orthopedic surgery In the New York Post-Graduate Hospital and School, where he. established the orthopedic department, which consists of & large portion of the hospital, and outdoor department, which treats from 1000 to 2000 patients every year. In connection with this hospital, he also, through the kindness of Mr. and. Mrs. Herbert Turner, was enabled to found the. Summer home and hospital for crippled children at En glewood. N. J., of which he Is the surgeon In charge. In 1887 he was elected Vice-President of the New York State Medlc&l Society, with Professor Albert M. Loomls as Presi dent, and in ISO he was President of the American Orthopedic Association. He Is also sur geon of the Now York Hospital, one of the largest Institutions of the kind in the country. Dr. Phelps principal contributions to surgery and orthopedic surgery are his operation for hernia, which differs from all others. In that It obliterates and fortifies the Inguinal canal with a mattress of line silver wire, and all of the stitching being done with very fine silver wire in a continuous suture; his club-foot operation of open Incision, which was Introduced to the profession In 1SS9; hta lateral traction fixation hip splint, aluminum cor set, and a variety of other braces and mechanical contrivances for the treatment of diseases of the Joints and deformities, all of which are well known. He is also a terse and lucid writer, having contributed liberally to the literature of the profession. tors in the hall, for they are troubles that the average physician meets with almost dally, and the practical manner In which Dr. Phelps handled them gave many pointers which the attending doctors think will be of advantage to them In the future. The society was called to order at 9:30 by President Harry Lane. The address of welcome was delivered by Dr. Andrew a Smith. The report of Secretary W. F. Amos and that of Treasurer Mae H. Cardwell were read and adopted. The secretary's report showed that the society ts In a flourishing condition, there now being 13S members.

Following the business meeting came the papers and discussions, The first paper was by Dr. Hicks C. Fenton on the treatment and prevention of catarrhal diseases In children. Dr. Fenton said In part: "The most common illness In our coun try Is that of acute catarrhal condition of the upper respirator' track, which Is commonly called a cold. The mouth breaths, due to adenoids and enlarged tonsils, and with the onset of slight cold, the natural sequence of events will be nasopharyngial catarrh, and It Is this condition that Is the most lnduclve to middle-ear catarrh. "Fully 75 per cent of all forms of middle-ear disease will show, on examina tion, or give a history of. nasopharyngial dlseise. and fully 75 per cent of the whole number of cases of intercranal abscess can be traced to auril disease, and es pecially to suppurative afflictions of the middle ear. "Middle-ear disease is a perpetual men ace to the life of the afflicted Individual, as I have shown. He is in peril every hour, and yet we frequently hear parents state that they thought the child would grow out of it. "It is also a recognized fact that In the majority of cases the catarrhal pro cess begins early In life, and matures as age advances: hence whatever prophylac tic measures are undertaken, they shmlid to aecomnllsh the trreitest srood. begun and followed out In childhood." r atscusslon on this paper was opened by Dr. W. L. Wood and Dr. J. P Tamlesle of Hlllsboro, and others took part in this discussion. The Man and the Ape. Following this was a paper "by Profes sor W. L. Washburn, of the State Univer sity at Eugene, on "Structural Relation Between Ape and Man." From the title, one might be led to ex pect that It was an attempt to prove the direct descent of man from the ape. Such was not the case, for in the Introduc tory remarks Professor Washburn stated that, however much we may be Impressed with the fact that structurally man and ape were much alike, nevertheless no link had ever been found; that the Neander thal skull and other ancient skulls for merly believed to belong to apelike men or menllke apes were now conceded to be Individual monstrosities, either of ape or of man, and to have no racial signifi cance. The skull and skeleton, the muscular system and viscera of apes and men were compared. Then followed a comparison of special organs, the hand, the foot, face, ear. brain, etc The lecture was illustrated with lantern slides, showing tho points touched upon. The speaker said that the seeming resemblance to apes seen in some of the negro tribes, the degraded Australians and others, tho thin shanks, undeveloped calves, and brutish habits, need be no proof of man's connection with apes, for we must re member that privations Incident to a wild life, forced marches. Insufficient food, etc, have all acted to produce these results. In conclusion. Professor Washburn em phasized the fact that a scientist must. irom tne very nature of his study, be a ' religious man; that no man could study J lowing this was a little girl, whose hip nad long been affected. Both of these cases were used mainly to Illustrate the treatment of such cases. The third pa tient brought in was a man 45 years old. He has been crippled for two or three years. Dr. Phelps, after examining him, proceeded to operate on the injured part. This work was followed very -closely by the onlookers. A number of local and out-of-town phy sicians assisted the doctor in his exami nations, and Miss Margaret Tandy and .Miss Leone Frey had charge of the op- erating-room. The features of today's session will be the addresses by Dr. W. F. McNntt. of San Francisco, on "Vaginal Hysterect omy," and one by Dr. Phelps on "Opera tion for Hernia." followed by an opera tion in the main hall. There will be a number of other papers and addresses by prominent local and Northwest doctors. In the afternoon President Lane will deliver his annual address. Officers for the ensuing year will be chosen, and any other miscellaneous business that may come up will be disposed of. The session will adjourn this afternoon, and some so cial features will probably follow In the evening. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Effort to Improve Grand Avenat Other Matters. There will be a conference of business men on Grand avenue Friday evening at Justice "Vreeland's office concerning the condition of trie Grand avenue roadway. Justice Vreeland has kindly tendered them the use of his office for that even ing, as he desires to help any movement of that sort. The condition of this street has been under discussion for some time, and it is felt that as It Is the main bus iness thoroughfare In- East Portland It ought to be reimproved, or at least re paired at once, as it Is getting worse. The timbers are rotting out at Innumer able places. Besides, between the car tracks' the plank Is worn completely out. Yesterday F. L. Keenan and D. Kella her, two Grand avenue business men. made a complete canvass of all the other business men on the street. They were found all to be very anxious that some thing should be done at once. They feel that ail business wllL be driven awny, as it was from Union avenue several years ago. They also think that there should be a full Improvement, and not merely a patching up of the bad places. "We feel that we have a right to 'ask that something be done with the street, as our rents have been raised on the supposition that the roadway was to be reimproved," said a prominent property owner yesterday, "and we are coming to gether to see what can be done." City Engineer Chase and Councilman Hol- brook are specially Invited to attend the gathering and give their advice as to the best course to take. Grand avenue was improved six years ago. Incidentally the meeting will also discuss the condi tion of the roadways which are closed up and see if something cannot be done toward getting them repaired and opened. East Morrison street roadway Is now carrying the bulk of the travel that goc3 over Morrison-street bridge, and the wear on It, although the decking was put down only a few months ago, shows already. So, while mainly Grand avenue will be considered, the discussion will not be con fined to that subject. All citizens of Central East Portland will be welcome at' the gathering. Band of Mercy Entertainment. The Band of Mercy, composed of pupils of -the Stephens School, to promote the study of dumb animals, will give an en tertainment this evening at Gruner's Hall, Stephens' addition. Following is the programme: Greeting song, 20 chil dren: recitation, Gertrude Chrlstensen; vocal solo, Jessie McConnell; flag drill, IS girls; piano duet, Thora Malm and Gladys Mackenzie; cuckoo song, six girls; recitation, Ethel Wlgglnton; mandolin solo; song, six girls; violin solo, Minnie Hatfield; wreath drill, nine girls; min uet, 12 girls. Joint Meeting. Gilbert Auxiliary Camp, No. 1, and Gil bert Camp, No. 4, Second Oregon, held a Joint session at their hall on the cor ner of East Morrison street and Union avenue Monday night. There was a large attendance of the camp and auxiliary, and the evening was pleasantly spent. The time was spent In games and general amusements, closing with a dance. The camp and auxiliary have planned to have a tally-ho party July 7, and the members are loosing forward to that event with much interest. Pleased With the Election. The people of Brooklyn are pleased with the action of the School Board in retain ing .Miss A. L. Dlmlck and the rest of the teachers in that building. At the closing exercises yesterday afternoon in that building, D. P-. Thompson, Director.' was present, and stated to the gathering that all the teachers In the Brooklyn School had been re-elected. On this an nouncement being made, there was vigor ous applause among the audience as well as among the pupils. East Side TTotes. P.

He has been working long on his valve princi ple, ani recently went East to secure a patent. At Portsmouth, on. the St. Johns motor line, a new switch has been put in for the convenience of trains passing at that point. It encircles the platform, ana passengers on all trains may alight on the platform. A large force of men has been employed making this Improvement. Notices to property-owners northward to Sullivan's Gulch to repair their side walks and crosswalks have been served. The intention Is to clean up, as far as possible, all disrupted sidewalks.

If there is any doubt about making brain power by the use of certain food, the doubter should make the following experiment: ' Helen Frances Huntington, of Gaines ville, Ga.. says: "Just a word of commen dation concerning Grape-Nuts which I have found to be the most wholesome, nourishing and appetizing food that has ever come to my knowledge. "I am not a dyspeptic, but being con stantly engaged In severe brain work, 1 found that I did not thrive on ordinary diet; even a moderate dinner dulled my brain so as to be practically Incapable of critical work. I tried meat-Juice, pep tonoids, the two-meal system of light breakfast and no supper which brought on nervous depletion and sleeplessness, so I resorted to one and another of the various health-foods which all seemed alike tasteless and valueless as a brain food, until quite by chance, I had a dish of Grape-Nuts food served as dessert. 1 liked It so well that I began to use It dally, for supper four teaspoonfuls In a saucer of hot milk, eaten before It dissolves to mushlness. "This point should be remembered, as, after a certain time, evaporation seems to affect the sweet, nutty flavor of the food as In the case of certain fine-flavored fruits. "The result In my case was simply as tonishing. I had no desire whatever for sweet pastries, meats, or in fact any thing else; and my brain was as clear and active at night as on awaking from a long, refreshing sleep. "The peculiar advantageabout Grape Nuts food is that it supplier the nutritive qualities of a varied diet without the bad results of heavy eating. I cheerfully rec ommend Its use to all brain workers. If not as an exclusive diet, certainly for the last meal of the day. I always take it with me when traveling, which save3 a j deal of annoyance and discomfort."
