Dr. Last night the chapel was crowded so that standing room could hardly be found for the late comers. The academy graduates held their exer cises last night, and thoy proved very interesting. After music by the orchestra, Rev. Dr. Hines of Portland offered prayer, and Mrs. Kraus.se, Misses Moores, Scriber and Moores rendered, on two pianos, Wollenhaupt's Grand Concert March, by Berg. Then followed an essay, "The Stage" by Miss Acta Forrest; oration, "Development of the Mind," by Chas. T. Lowrie, both full of merit, followed by "The Roll Call," bass solo by W. H. Bagley, accompanied by Miss Forrest. L. R. Greene took "Law" for the subject of his oration, and did very well with it. Miss Lottie D. Ben nett read an essay on "Overcoming," and this was followed by music by tho orchestra. Harvey Bend's oration, "Our Nation" was full of patriotic sentiment, and R. M Hester discussed "Education for a Special Purpose," in which ho set forth some excellent precepts to his class fellows. Mrs. J. H. Strickler then sang "Di Qua! Soavi," by Donizetti, in her usually excellent manner, and Jns. S. Van Winkle delivered an oration on "Station." Miss Carrie Gleason read nn essay on the "Progress of Civilization," after which Mayor Murphy was called upon to present tho class, thirteen in all, to Hon. J. D. Leo of Dallas, for their diplomas. Mayor Murphy recounted, in n short but interesting speech, how the class, after much valuable time and effort in acquiring knowledge, had now reached that degree of in tellectual attainment that entitled them to receive these diplomas. That these evidences of the result of their labors hau already been pre pared, and to him, as the executive head of the city, had been assigned the pleasant task of aiding in their formal delivery. The mayor recited how much more potent a factor In the restraint of crime and uphold ing of good government, were tho schools and colleges, then tho courts police forces nnd jails. "Students," he said, "have neither tho time nor inclination to Indulge in riotous and boisterous acts against the peace of the land. Hence those crowds that wo see day after day marching from tho jail to the police court, nnd from tho police court back to tho Jail, never include them." After a few words moro of praise, encourage ment and admonition, the mayor presented tho class to Mr. Lee, who responded in a very fitting way, and then as the class was called presented each witli a diploma.

Thcro is lots of kicking on the streets to-day at tho action of tho council last night in its proposed reduction of tho police force. Economy is a good thing; but this is considered very poor economy. The forco had better bo increased, is tho verdict of all business men to whom the matter was referred by the writer, to-day, now that the city is without lights at night, in tho interest of proper protection of property, both from midnight marauders and fire. An olllcer should be stationed at the university, too, these evenings, to guard the decent people of the city from insult at tho bauds of a crowd of hoodlums, mentioned before in theso columns. Last night, the stile posts were found covered with tobacco spit, the work of these nico young boys ono referred to by the way, asked this paper to-day to deny that it was he. Another action of the council only causes Riniles among the citi zens. That is their repeal of an ordlnanco by a viva voce vote of the council, Instead of by another ordi nance. This was tho ordinance re lating to the city attorney. Tho council will likely be surprised to hear, notwithstanding tho motion and Its adoption repealing tho same, that the ordinance is still in force and that Attorney Bingham can still draw his salary. Last night, several communi cations were presented to tho city council concerning our volunteer fire service, and while all bear more or less merit, it cannot be seen that that honorable body paid very much attention to them. One was from W. F. Dugnu, of Capitals, asking the council to take some action to provide teams for use in pulling engines to fires. This is almost an absolute necessity, espccl: ally in the case of CapltinVmid I such niggardliness as the council once displayed In this mattor was absolutely criminal. Ten minutes of time saved in getting a firoengine to a single fire would be likely to save to the city property of suffici ent valuo to pay the expense of teams for a whole year. Arrange ments should be made for keeping the tennis in the engine houses. The insuranco companies doing business in this city, have applied to tho department to have all appa ratus, hose, etc., tested, and this should bo done. A bursted section of hose is always a cause of tho loss of much valuable time at a fire, aud bad hose, etc., should bo condemned before, rather than after a fire. Chief Churchill informed the council that the pressure obtainable in tho 38 hydrants of the city ranged between 00 and 80 pounds, and that the pressure would be always sulllci- ent it people would tako tho pre caution at an alarm to shut off lawn hose, faucets, etc., and ho sug gested that the water works bo con nected with tho lire bell, so that tho engineer would have immediate notice of a fire, and put on the necessary pressure. If this would help matters, it should be done at once. An electric fire alarm service, however, is what this town should have. Referring to tho lowered pressure from the continual running of garden hose, tho council might pass an ordlnanco requiring theso to be shut oft at night, under penalty. A good many improvements might be made in our fire service, which would aid It In many ways. anscEiAAXKors. ra ffl w in 79 IK Tho conservatory graduating class this year is W. II.

While the young man meant was at the place nnmed at tho time, it Is evident now that ho was not com mitting any of tho acts claimed, but was talking to a couple of friends. Tho parties who were engaged in tho Insulting remarks constituted a different party of young men, and our informant probably was mistaken when lie picked out tho young man as the leador. I'JHISOXALS.
