COMMENCEMENT WEEK
Ttie Sweet Girl and the Boy Graduates
' ' Compared. ' ;
SHE, HAS UNDERGONE A CHANGE:
He is Going to Make, Shakespeare and
Napoleon Look Small.
THE GIKL HAS THE ADVANTAGE.
Hardly Legitimate Ground for the Ei-

'.;...-.. CoBKfdered. ',
.', Itihca, N. y., June 16. This will be
commencement week in a vast majority
of the academies, colleges and universi
ties ot "the United States, ; at which an
army of graduates will be turned loose
upon their future individual, resources..
Were it not that some misogynists are
covertly poking innocent fun at her,
there would be no particular reason for
bringing up again . the time-honored sub
ject of the "sweet girl graduate." This
is hardly a legitimate ground for the ex
ercise' of humor -: when : the infinitely
superior inducements to fun-making of-:
fered by the young man , graduate are
considered. But it is the young woman,
nevertheless, who has beeri' satirized ,'
and her numerons friends will no doubt
protest.with vehemence. . They will say ;
and, on the whole, not unjustly; that
she no longer ornaments her essay -with
ribbons' and that lier subjects are rather
lees comprehensive and grandiose than
they were formerly; She has undergone
a change. " A discriminating observer
will note that she is slowly giving np
her penchant for discussing "Virtue Is
Its Own Reward," "The , Beauties- of
Literature' and ;'?Tbe Philosophy "of
Life." But the reform is by no means
yet complete, and the fact is little" occa
sion for regret. The ribbons and the
grandiloquence don't do any harm.'.
Both are delightfully fresh and amusing.
The girl graduate has, moreover,, the ad
vantage of the boy graduate, in that her
ambitions are not worn so conspicuously
on her sleeve, . It is the boy graduate
who is going to make Shakespeare and
Napoleon look mighty small, in history,
and who is subsequently very glad to be
able to buy pie with hia midday lunches.
Under the circumstances it is- advisa
ble that the girl graduate be not joked
about. It has -not been, demonstrated
that the" fact of being a. graduate; will
prevent her from being a ' sensible :and
gracious woman later on. ' ".

announced that Hughes had fallen over
board. 'Hi 9 body was found twenty-two
miles west of Pittsburg.";. Marks on his
face and head, and the fact- that he had
been robbed of his watch,; money ; and
diamond pin, have convinced the author
ities that , he was . murdered. Hughes
was wealthy j and, notwithstanding the
fact that he was a liberal patron of
sports and not . always careful in his
choice of companions, was largely inter
ested in business ' enterprises.- There

CnicAGO, June 16. From Iowa to

pent up enthusiasm is evidently in store
for future emergencies.. Already the,

dictions are: "-.-"'"

.These statements cover the ground
nicely and contain quite all the actual
knowledge that any one has on the sub
ject. : It would be a pity . that any one
should remain in ignorance of the situa
tion, 'while information can be so con
cisely presented. . -
It is like the story of the blind puppy,
however. It is said they have a marvel

pleasantly". This is on the authority of
an acute reasoner, who declares humor-ously-th'at
as long as a puppy can't see
he knows more how to get his own way
than any bid dog who has had his day.
" There are several delegates whose con-,
victions are not yet fixed. But there
seems to be little doubt that if some un
failing prophet could give : them the
name of the winner they would be . en
abled to see the path of duty plainly
marked before them.

Prlehtful Accident. !
. Covixgtox, Ky., June 16. A fright
ful accident occurred at a bridge yester
day' spanning the Licking river, this
side of Newport. ' The bridge :was in
conrse '-of : construction,! and forty-five
workmen were on the structure, and so
far. as known only two escaped unhurt,
the others were either kyied 'by crush
ing timbers or drowned. The cause is
"said to be the weakening of the wooden
false work. The high waters had washed
put the earth supports. 1 The men today
were engaged under the direction ' of
Robert and William Beard, contractors,
in placing the heavy iron work of the j
main span, when without warning there
was-a headlong plunge of the mass of
timber, iron- and workmen into the
waters of the Licking river, fifty feet

Chicago, June 16. Witli the Hatch?
bill suspended between the " two houses
of congress, with sharply con Acting ru
mors concerning the effects of the phe
nomeoal spring rains, speculation itu
grain .has become unusually dull. It is
said that the aggregate of the deals -for
the last lew weeks has been unpreceden-.
tedly small. No great combinations have
been attempted. Excellent judges say.
that the prices of wheat, corn and other
cereals are nearly natural, that is to say,
about; what they would be if speculative
trading were stopped altogether. It is
expected that the government crop re
port will be received this afternoon. Its .
statements will in a great measure set
at rest the widely disagreeing stories of -general
crop conditions now afloat. But,
while the arrival of this document is
being looked for with much interest, its
appearance will not revive the listless .
spirit of speculation. About the most it
will do will be to enable - holders to ad
just themselves to the conditions it fore-
shadows. There is a disposition in.
many high quarters to regard the Hatch
bill as practically passed. This belief is
prompted by 'the unexpected strength
of the bill in the house and' the clamor
for its passage in all the agricultural
regions. In the belief that the Hatch
bill will become a law men who are'

Poktland, Me., June 16. During a--violent
wind etorm yesterday, following
the hottest weather record for June, the -Bangor
river steamer Annie was cap
sized within 1,000 feet of her wharf.
She had a number of passengers on
board, mostly women, who had been
down the river to escape the excessive
heat. The wind lifted the boat com
pletely out of the water, turned her over
and plunged her bows down beneath the -surface.
It is impossible to tell how
many were drowned. In Hampden,,
dwellings were leveled- and their occu- '
pants seriously injured, though none -fatally;
a far as reported. In Bangor
and Brewer a few houses were wrecked,
hundreds of chimneys carried away, and
numerous windows smashed. Ice--houses
along the river were destroyed
and the roof of one was carried some
distance and dashed against a large pulp.

was distributed all over that town, some
of it floating through the air at the
height of 50 feet. The lumber and paper
mills at Orono were heavily damaged. .

allotted we shall begin the work." -
