This will lie a record for the port of New York. Nearly a thousand people gathered In the Broad Street Theater last evening, on the occasion of the annual Qoramencemcnt exercises of the West Pittston high school, and the scene In the large auditorium was a most inspiring one. The stage, set in tiers, was occupied by the members of the graduating class and the members of the high school, and it wus with pardonable pride that, the people composing the audience looked on the bright faces of their school children and realized that the boys and girls were well on their way to secure that high school education which is at the foundation of our public educational system. And it was not less gratifying to note the deep interest manifested by the large audience in the exercises of the hour. It revealed an appreciation by them of the high standard of the educational facilities of West Pittston borough and must be regarded as an endorsement of the school district's work. It was a time for mutual felicitation and was indeed.an occasion of much joy in the lives of parents and students alike. St. Petersburg, .Tune 14.—Ominous of the government's Inability to cope with prospective agrarian disorders is the news which comes from Poltava, one of the richest and most populous farming provinces of Russia, that the governor is in daily receipt of requests for troops for tbe protection of estates from the peasantry, who have not the slightest awe of the rural guards. It places the cost of Inspection on the government and makes an appropriation of $2,000,000 a year to pay this cost. MRS. WILLIAMS RELEASED. Woman Who Threatened J. P.

As he was tightening the chain it snapped and the sudden release overbalanced him. He dropped betwpen the cars and, before he could drag himself to safety, the wheels struck his legs below the knee. Both feet were amputated midway between the ;Wikle and knee.

His wife had been notified of the accident and was beside her husband when the end came.

It is probable, the immigration officials say, that the prospect of a new immigration law to be passed by congress imposing greater restrictions has quickened the tide flowing hero. Four Mrn Had Warrants Served on No Troops For Police Duty. Tliein This Morning for Selling The conditions in Poltava with regard to the army probably are widespread. Indeed, the army is a frail reed for the government to lean upon If it rejects parliament's agrarian scheme. The general staff objects, moreover, to furnishing further troops for police duty and has refused requests for guards for government liquor shops, which are Increasingly subject to attack, on the ground t;liat to comply with all these demands would Interfere with the strategic necessity of the empire.
