A LAST RESORT.
An Operation la Performed Upon Bank
Vaughan.
A surgical operation was performed
today for the relief of Hank Vaughan.
Dr. Kennith NcKenzie, of Portland, who
stands high in the medical profession,
was telegraphed Friday by the patient's
relatives, and arrived this morning.
A consultation was afterward held,
and an operation decided upon as the
only means of saving the injured man's
life. It began at 11 o'clock this fore
noon at the Transfer House, and was
performed with care and skill by Dr.
McKenzie, assisted by Drs. Smith and
Guyon, of this city. Three hours were
consumed in the task. The patient lay
in the stupor that has marked his con
dition for some time past, and was doubt
less mercifully relieved to a large extent,
from pain.

COMMENCEMENT DAY-
St. Mary's Academy and Wasco Inde
pendent Academy Exercises.
Commencement day that event of
the year which is the acme of interest to
an entire community, of pride alike to
pupils, parents and faculty the auspi
cious hour when class associations are
severed, and those who have acquired
the sum of knowledge volunteered by
the academical societies stand upon the
threshold of a mature life to battle with
the world, equipped with that education
and discipline pertaining thereto ! The
event is solemn as well as joyous, and
its pathos is not hid by the bold decora
tions of vine and flower and the wealth
of perfume of countless roses.
Two of our highest and noblest insti
tutions yesterday launched from their
friendly walls a number of human lives,
who will henceforth be called upon to
mould for themselves their own destiny
for the future St. Mary's Academy and
the Wasco Independent Academy of
The Dalles.
st. maby'b.
The spacious hall of St. Mary's Acad
emy was filled long before the hour an
nounced for the graduating exercises to
commence 2 o'clock p. m. yesterday.
The platform was very handsomely dec
orated with sprigs of tamarisk and the
ilex -leaved mahonia. Every niche was
occupied with a picture, beautified with
vines and flowers. The chandelier was
hidden with its burden of roses, and the
air was fragrant with their perfume.
An exquisite floral motto above the
stage read "God Bless the Friends We
Love." Four pianos had place upon the
stage, and as the appointed hour ap
proached for the commencement of the
exercises the stage was suddenly en
tered by twelve young ladies in white,
who seated themselves at the pianos
and there burst forth such a musical
welcome as fairly electrified the audi
ence. At its conclusion they retired,
leaving Miss D. Fredden upon the stage,
who delivered the salutatory. In a
'graceful manner she welcomed the as
sembled guests, touching upon the love
of her school associations and her tutors,
and the inestimable value of the lessons
taught in all that goes to make pure
and noble womanhood.
Retiring, the stage was filled with the
pupils of all ages, who rendered the
vocal solo "Visions of Home."
"Cultivation of Literary Taste," was
the subject of a remarkably forcible
essay by Miss F. Lewis, one of the grad
uates, who chose for her subject one of
those which has been widely discussed
by the press and pulpit, relating to the
evil effects upon the mind of cheap
literature. .For the proper cultivation
of literary taste she dilated upon the
necessity of providing good literature
for children. By far the greater share
of that now recklessly distributed and
carelessly allowed to be within reach by
parents and guardians tends to ruin the
memory and impair all the mental
faculties.
An instrumental solo was next ren
dered entitled "William Tell," a melo
dious selection calling for great dexter
ity upon the piano.
Miss L. M. Hinton, a graduate, next
read "Echoes," that being the subject
of her essay. It abounded in interest,
and after reciting some of the remarka
ble instances in nature, and relating a
pretty myth accepted for truth by the
barbarians as to what makes the echo,
drew therefrom the truism that since
every object in nature has an echo, and
every echo a voice, so it is with regard
to human actions.
Gossip in pantomime by the minims
was one of the most interesting and
amusing performances on the program.
Twenty little girls of about 8 years
of age, dressed in Quaker costume,
marched upon the stage to music, and
after going throngh the most graceful
and intricate evolutions imaginable,
finally brought up in twos at short dis
tances apart, when the pantomime- be
gan. The little ones imitated perfectly
in action, and in perfect unison, the
whispered comments of the gossip, and
the gestures of deprecation consequent
upon the receipt of such startling re
marks. Miss D. Fredden, a graduate, chose
for her essay "The Industry of Genius."
She said that there is no great genius
without perseverance and continued in
dustry. Many common incidents that
might lead to great results occur in the
lives of everyone, said the speaker,
which pass unobserved. Speaking of
the greatest inventions, she declared
that they had been accomplished only
through tireless effort, which was de
manded quite as much as was original
genius. She concluded with the re
markable statement that genius is only
common sense intensified.
After an instrumental solo, Miss G. A.
Lauer, also a graduate, read an essay
entitled "Heroism in Home Life."
Her remarks throughout were indicated
by her text. Citing Semiramis, Joan of
Arc and Napolean as examples of the
world's great heroes, she found that in
stances of heroism in every day life
were by no means uncommon. Hero
ism did not belong solely to the warrior,
but was found in home life every day,
no less great because unrecorded.
"Tans Jubal," an instrumental duet,
followed.
"Columbia's Triumph" was the title
of a dialogue of patriotic interest, being
an allegorical production representing
the nations discussing among them
selves the question of attending the
world's fair. Haughty England was
well taken by Miss Fredden, whose ad
vice was sought and seemed to be a pat
tern for. the other nations. While yet
in discussion, Columbia, personated by
Miss Lewis, appeared on the scene with
her thirteen colonies, represented by
little girls. After a trial of wit, in
which America comes off first best,
though hard hit by some of the others,
especially China, they all pass under
the American flag singing "Columbia
the Gem of the Ocean." This was one
of the most successful performances of
the afternoon.
An instrumental solo followed en
titled "La Corbeille de Roses." This
was followed by "Twinkling Star," a
song by the little ones, who were re
markably well trained, and whose child
ish voices in concert, accompaned by
their inimitable gestures with their fin
gers, were really irresistible.
Graduating honors were then con
ferred upon Miss F. Lewis, Miss G. A.
Lauer, Miss L. M. Hinton and Miss D.
Fredden, each receiving a diploma and
medal.
Miss Lauer then gave the valedictory,
which was most affecting, relating to
the severance of the loving ties formed
while within the walls of St. Mary's
Academy, the kindly instruction and
thoughtfulness of the sisters ; spoke of
the lessons learned in all that apper
tains toward making noble, virtuous
and aspiring lives, and referred to the
coming departure of Father Bronsgeest.
Mr. Bronsgeest responded in fitting
language, saying that in his absence his
mind would often revert to St. Mary's
Academy and his interest in it for
eleven years, and to this graduating
class especially, since the last impres
sions are always the most vivid. After
a farewell song, the assemblage dis
persed and the graduates received con
gratulations. w. r. a. commencement.
Probably the newly-dedicated Baptist
church will never again be taxed to the
extent it was last night to contain the
hundreds of people who assembled to
listen to the commencement exercises of
the Wasco Independent academy cer
tainly not until next year. The aisles
were filled with chairs, and every avail
able foot of space was utilized for seats.
A.nd then a vast number of people stood
up throughout the long evening, their
interest remaining unabated to the end.
The walls around the platform were
girdled with the beautiful foliage of the
state flower, the ilex-leaved mahonia,
among whose leaves were fastened in
prodigal abundance the beautiful roses
which grow here. The arch back of the
pulpit was festooned with flowers and
from the center Suspended a hammock,
literally covered with flowers. On either
side were terraces of syringas. From
side to side of the building was the motto
of the class, made of marguerites, the
class flower, and reading "Non solum
esse, sed esse nobile," meaning, "Not only
to be, but to be noble."
The exercises opened with a duet by
Miss Lang and Miss Newman, a very
musical selection entitled "Walzer
Capricen."
N. H. Gates next gave the oration
"Three Perils," a grand speech, remark
able alike for its logical reasoning in
clear-cut sentences, its comprehensive
grasp of present political conditions
affecting the life of the nation, and its
bold delivery. The effort was generally
conceded to be tar beyond the young
