R-jzfz Sarsapa-i!!a Cc.-es all Blood Disorders. PATRIOTIC GRADUATES.' Essays and Orations Keveal Their Lore of Country. Between 800 and 1,000 people assem bled at Armory hall Saturday night to , listen to the commencement exercises of The Dalles public schools for 1896. A class of nine had successfully finished .their long course of study, and with the ample education furnished by our bene " ficent government by means of the free .'public schools, were pronounced fitted to enter the turmoil of the business and social world. . The exercises hegan with a chorus . '"The Banner of the Free." It was in dicative of the character of the program . throughout. More than half the class 'took patriotic subjects. The address of . Master Angell was positively belligerent, while the oration of Master Baldwin .was a brilliant defense of Americanism, ' appealing to the strongest instincts of patriotism, tome cf the young ladies '.also revealed their love for their country ' hi their essays, and there was not one graduate of the nine who did not betrav . their pride in and foalty to their native land. Such training in our public eehools is superlatively commendable, and :" proves over again the old assertion that 'v the public schools are the bulwark of our liberties. '.'Heroes," by Misa Virgilia Cooper was mainly a review of the heroes of his tory. The old yet ever new story of Le onidas was retold in a simple yet charm- , ing style. The heroes of Scotland and Switzerland were again brought to view. ' In Miss Cooper's opinion thebero whose . name shines ont brightest in all history was our own Lincoln. Bat heroes are not always measured by deeds of prowess. Cornelia, the mother of the : gracchi, was a heroine in the manner of bringing up her children. 1 Those are heroes also who conquer their own pas- eions. ' .,' ; Master CurtU Egbtrrt followed with an oration entitled .'Tha Growth of Consti tutional Liberty."" The growth of liberty is slow, but it ia a thrifty plant, declared the speaker. Its tenacity of ' existence was then Bhown by the tender root of . liberty which extended across the At lantic and found lodgment in the Ameri ' -can colonies, and its development was - pictured by Master Egbert in rare and beautiful language. - "Religious and . j constitutional liberty are comrades in . ' war nd brothers in peace," was another original statement of the speaker. He pictured the slow progress of liberty dur ing the dark ages, but ita spark was never extinct, und through the troublous times of the Fifteenth and succeeding centuriea it was re-established In the form of various European republics. The number of these republics is con stantly increasing. The Misses Myrtle and Betta Stone at the conclusion of the address favored the " audience with a brilliant duet on man dolin and guitar. Miss Mabel P. Riddell's essay was en . titled "Beneath Our Feet Liea the Work of Ages." Thia was a very pleasing paper.,- The picture portrayed of the im mense age of our planet, revealed by geology, was awe-inspiring, and the con trast between a moment and a cycle of time was sharply drawn by numerous local adaptations at our very doors. The formation of Oregon from an original two islands, one along the base of the Blue mountains and one at. the Siskiyous; tropical rushes found in Dry Hollow thirty feet benqatu the surface; fresh water shells found on top of the highest mountains surrounding The Dalles; mastodon fossils found south of us; the the evidences of ancient forests where now are plains; were among the various statements- of Miss Riddell which claimed almost breathless attantion on the part of the large audience. The paper showed much patient research and study, combining with the information gained from book lore the practical evi dences that , are everywhere apparent around us, if we but use our God-given sense of eyesight. Master Edward F.- Jenkins' subject was "Possibilities of Electricity," an effort as glowing with life as the subject under discussion. He pictured the mar velous strides made since Franklin drew the first spark of this subtle force from the clouds to a key, ushering in an elec trical era of whose possibilities be little dreamed. In impetuous language the speaker, after recalling the triumphs al ready achieved, prophesied inventions which now seem extravagant, but no more so than the phonograph seemed before its wonderful discovery. Who can place a limit to human genius? Thia is the train of thought suggested by Mr. Jenkins review of the progress of electricity. After a beautiful trio cf female voises, entitled "Down in the Dewy Dell," Miss Dasie Allaway read an essay entitled "American Progress." This progress was made possible primarily by liberty, which the colonists first demanded. This induced immigration, invention and established industries. The" first thing the colonists observed was the need of education. Never before bad the common people bad educational facilities.. As a result . the 9 o'clock school bell todav summons eleven and u half million children. America is pecu liarly favored by situation for the un interrupted growth of liberty and edu cation. We have put oceans be twee if us and the quarrels, of the old world. America has no tilled aristocracy, ho class privileges, a free press and free schools. The essay left an impression of love for our country and renewed the determination to preserve our schools as necessary to the preservation of our liberties. The oration by Mr. Homer D. Angell was a natural continuation of the sub ject tinder discussion by Miss Allaway, "How May the United States best main tain Its National Bights and Dignity ?" The gospel of peace, the settlement of international difficulties by arbitration is far far from the thought of Mr. Angell. His opening statement was "Warfare is the foundation of all nations." The necessity of preparing for war was shown in the case of China by the late war with Japan. England presents the opposite extreme. The land upon which the sun never sets has a principle of aggression, eupported by tho most powerful navy afloat. Since we must preserve the honor of our nation and be prepared to resist foreign' aggression, it is an idle thought to desire an abandon ment of our coast defenses. Attention was directed to the invasion of our rivers by the war of 1812. Even at the present time New York City, the best defended of American cities, has but three guns ; San Francisco baa but one. The Columbia can be entered without a show of resistance. The European na tions are all thoroughly equipped for a foreshadowed general war, and the United States should not be idle. The danger of delay was shown by the length of time required to construct a navy, an average of three years being required to furnish a man-of-war. Mr. Angell has a manly style of delivery, aggressive like bis subject, and compelled the strictest attention to bis decidedly warlike ora tion. A male quartet, "Softly Sleep," fol lowed, by four youths with harmonious voices, when Miss Pearle Butler read an essay entitled "What Is Their Story?" It was of trees Miss Butler referred, and she instanced many specific trees of his tory. Among them were the charter oak of Hartford, Conn., the elm under which Washington assumed command of the army, and the elm tree under which Wm. Penn executed hia treaty with nine Indian tribes, the only treaty which was never sworn to and was never broken. Of interest also was the hundred-horse chestnut and the cedars of Lebanon. Nearing the conclusion Miss Butler said : "Trees speak to us with a heroic eloquence." '". We hardly ..take to the woods under Miss Butler's leadership, after the fright given us by Mr. Angell, before we are recalled .by Master Edward D. Baldwin. This young man spoke with a force and eloquence, -an understanding and con ception of the duties of American citi zenship far beyond his years. "One of the highest duties of an American t to perform is the conscientious discharge of the duties of American citizenship." was his opening statement. - The spirit of love of country was exemplified by reference to the gallant fight made by a handful of Swiss into the solid Prussian ranks. An intrepid leader invited death, because the eacrifice was demanded in the cause of liberty. ' Of the same mind was Patrick Henry when be aroused the nation with his memorable worda, "Give. me liberty or give me death." . Henry Clay said: "I'd rather be, right than president." Master Baldwin-renewed the demand of Americans when he said: "Every man must be free to worship God accorditp to the dictates of his own ! conscience.' ii nd :o cast his ballot for! who is bis periiunul, preference. This j liberty v.e have inherited from our fathers, and - it is our -duty to leave it unimpaired! to our posterity. He re ferred to our corinnt leeielaturea and boss rule. . He believed it was the dutv i of every American citizen to inform him self on the questions of the day. The ballot ia a gigantic power for either g.iod or evil, and it is criminal to neglect its duties. Next, month -occurs the state election. If our duty as votera is prop erly done the various positions will be filled with true patriots. He urged the importance of attending the primaries, exposed the danger from the stayathome voters, and charged that because of this many of our great cities are today under boss rule. He closed the subject by stating that voters must not be misled by partisan zeal, and concluded hia ora tion with a touching address to his classmates. Master Baldwin shows a comprehension of the conduct of politics surprising in one so young, and an in formation thousands of men do not pos sess who have bad a vested right to vote for years. " Misses Lorene Lee and Clara Nickel sen then favored' the audience with the piano duet "Walzer-Caprizen, Nicode, Opp., 10 faultlessly rendered. . "The closing essay was by Miss Nona C. Rowe, "Where Rolls the Oregon." She commenced with the discovery of the Columbia by Capt. Gray in 1792, which he named the Oregon, and told j of Spain and Russia's first claims to this) ttMMMM OFFICE OF I Black well's Durham Tobacco Company. - durham, n. c.

The citizens of St. Louis were surprised one day by the arrival of four Flathead Indians, who came to petition for mis sionaries. The appeal was neglected by all except Marcus Whitman, who braved the perils of the transcontinental trip in 1835. A year later H. H. Spaulding and wife came. The trip was 3,500 miles long, which took six months to accom plish it. When they appeared at Fort Walla Walla, Mrs. Whitman, possessing a 'beautiful face,, was mistaken for a spiritual being of another world and re ceived an adoration almost amounting to worship. Great Britain pressing her claims Whitman went east and returned with 200 wagons and 2 (00 troops, thus holding possession of a country which was much undervalued in . the East. Miss Rowe prettily told of l he collapse of the Bridge of the God. She referred also to the near completion of the locks.
