Miss Clara Sheridan took for her subject "The Superiority of Japan." She said that America, in the midst of ks great progress, might very profitably stop a moment and study other countries and other nations. The recent wars of Japan against China and against Russia have brought the eyes or the world to this little country of the east. How and why has this little nation become a world power? Fifty years ago it was antagonistic to foreign power, ruled by the shoguns, with the mikado merely supreme in religion. Perry opened the first port to commerce in 1854 and from that moment the progress of Japan became ascendant. The revolution of 1868 returned to tile emperor his powers and this was followed by the opening of schools, ultimately resulting in Japan being able at the present day to give many pointers on education to supposedly more enlightened nations. The chief characteristics that attended Japanese progress the speaker thought to be athletics, an eagerness to learn and grasp any opportunity, an almost boundless ambition, self reliance, patriotism and obedience to authority.

Washington, June 15. — President Roosevelt expresses entire disapproval of the new meat inspection bill as completed by the house committee on agriculture.Blalystok, Russia, June 15. — Hundreds of Jews have been killed or wounded here In an uprising of the Christians. The class of 1906, I'ittston high school, was formally graduated frohi that Institution of learning with appropriate exercises, last evening. The spacious Broad street theater was tilled with the relatives and friends of the young people. It was a happy gathering In every respect. The graduates, pardonably proud In the culminating moment of their high school life, occupied places on the stage, their countenances becomingly grave yet undeniably happy. Behind them tier upon tier of undergraduates were seated, the formation arising to the highest point of the stage. These bright faces, betraying the sunny dispositions of youth, cast their iniiuence beyond the footlights and were distinctly reflected in the countenances of old and young of the audience. Commencement exercises are always felicitous occasions. They are fraught with much Importance to the graduates themselves, as they step from the cloister of school life Into a Held at wider activity. Those who come to witness the exercises in most cases have a personal Interest, but whether or not, graduation is an occasion that never falls to arouse in all emotions of an unusual nature. This Is true of any graduation, but it is especially so when accompanied by manifest evidences of a graduating class in every sense worthy of the honor, a class such as greeted the large audience that was attracted to the Broad last Mlneola, N.

Hallock's. lied Star Stamps He expressed this view to Chairman Wadsworth of the house committee on agriculture when Mr. Wadsworth called on him and submitted a draft of the new measure and asked the president's opinion. The president declared that the bill whs. not at all adequate to meet the conditions. He embodied his views in a formal letter to Mr. Wadsworth. THE LIGHT ORDINANCE. The trouble started during the Corpus Christ! procession, when a Jewish anarchist hurled a bomb In the midst of the paraders. A CATHOLIC HOSPITAL. Miss Loretta HoWley spoke on the Interesting topic, "Heroes of Science." "I could not llnd Gertie or MrB. O'Hara when I went into the house," he went on, "and I lay down on a lounge and fell asleep. I woke up at midnight, went to the door, and Just then (Jertle and Mrs. O'Hara came in. Gertie was crying, and I asked her what she was crying about, and she said, 'I have shot the old man.' She handed me-a revolver and said that she had shot her father at Davis' Corner. I didn't believe at the time that, she was telling the truth, as she had 1 made similar statements before. The next morning Mrs. O'Hara remarked that she would now have $200 to 'sport' with," referring to insurance on O'Hara's life. Passed Two Readings in The bomb exploded with frightful results, the street being strewn with the dend nnd dying. She cited as examples Socrates, who was compelled to drink hemlock for advancing theories that were later found to be true; Galileo, Imprisoned after he declared that the planets moved about the sun instead of th« reverse; Roger Bacon, held prisoner because his discovery of gun powder was thought to have been attained by communication with evil spirits; Isaac Newton, accused of having tried to overthrow the Deity because of his discovery of the law of gravitation; Copernicus, Columbus and others. Among modern scientists the speaker thought particularly worthy of mention Dr. Livingston, Robert Fulton, Samuel Morse, Kli Whitney, Cyrus Field. and Clark. That these lived and labored and died without the hope that they might be rewarded made these heroes Crf science entitled to a place in fame beside the heroes militant. The president, it can be an id, Is opposed to the house substitute iu its entirety. He may not go so far as to veto the bill if it should be enacted by congress with the house amendments attached, but he has made it clear that he does not deem the house provisions at all adequate.

No opposition was expressed to the measure as it was reported by the light and water committee.

After careful reflection Chairman Wadsworth has decided that he will not discuss in any manner the objections of President Roosevelt. He will, however, refer the matter to his committee at n meeting to be called without delay, when the details of the objections which the president is understood to have pointed out will be considered.Immediately after the explosion the Jews began lo tire with revolvers from the windows of the house into the crowd. Soldiers surrounded the house and tired two volleys into the windows. Meanwhile the exasperated Christians attacked the Jewish storos in Alexandrov and Suraa streets, demolishing the fixtures and windows and throwing goods into the gutters and beating and murdering the Jews. evening. Miss Laura Bosworth gave a recitation, "A Shaker Romance." This selection was wide In its range of dramatic effort and the young lady acquitted herself most creditably. it was In large part a matter-of-fact statement and here the speaker dls- The class of 1906 distinguished itself throughout the exercises. Good taste was evidenced throughout the programme, not only in the, selection of the numbers, t:ut in thelrlhterpretation. Following a selection by Oppenhelin the curtain arose, disclosing a pretty scene, the undergraduates ranged as in past years. The graduates, 15 in number, filed slowly upon the stage and-*«»ok their places near the footlights. Professor Golden led during the rendition by the chorus of Mozart's majestic Gloria from his twelfth mass. This was a composition to test the ability of the singers and a most able rendition brought forth ringing applause from the audience. It may be said that the chorus was the equal of any high school chorus heard In this city. There was power behind it and the blending of voices was particularly good. The • parts were sung in excellent style. The soprano was exceptional and the contralto and bass surprising. Professor Golden is deserving of a large meed of praise for the excellent singing. His selections were very well made. Emerson's "Sailor Chorus" and Veazle'a bidder Before the state closed the O'Hara girl swore l'oole told her he shot her father, ending her direct examination with an identification of a blood stained shirt found near Castle Gould, which the prosecution Insisted was the property of l'oole.

The Invitations were mailed last evening and are as follows: for painting and otherwise improving the city hall. The city controller presented his statement, which was ordered printed in pamphlet form. A concurrent resolution by Mr. Kelly was adopted, directing the city engineer to prepare an estimate of the cost of a lateral sewer on O'Connor street, between Market and Pine streets. A motion by Mr. Touhill was carried, directing the Sewer committee to report forthwith the Parsonage street sewer. The committee failed to report, however. Mr. McNevin Introduced a resolution, which was carried Without dissent, directing the Laurel Line to place gates or watchmen at Market street and PiUe street crossings before July 1 and.

These are also stated to be fhe reasons why the committee has given the subject "most painstaking and thoughtful consideration." Pitlston. l'a.. June 14, 1 HOB Dear Sir:—Many of the physicians, the Kcv. Clergy, iirjd prominent members of St. John's congregation havo discussed the feasibility of establishing a hospital In this city, under Catholic auspices, Ernest Westcott recited a selection from the works of the American humorist, George Ado. It was entitled "Philosophy In Slang" and was a recital of the speech of a politician at the closing exercises. Ade's quaint mode of expression was done full justice by Mr. Westcott and he afforded the audience many a hearty laugh. The subject was well chosen and lost none of its humor In Mr. Westcott's recital of It. "Philosophy In Slang" was chosen for Mr. Westcott by Professor Shlel, who explained this before the young man started to speak. excellent portrayal Testifying as to Poole's alleged confession, the girl said: A crowd of Jews lied to the railroad station, pursued by the mob, which killed many of them there. Three Jews were thrown from second story windows of the railroad station building. "Poole and I were engaged to be married. The time had not been fixed. On the night my father disappeared at midnight Cleve Poole staggered Into the house alone. He was very excited and had been drinking. 'I have shot him,' he said. I asked who, and he said, 'Your father.' We request the favor of your presence at a meeting to be held at Keystone hall. JuiKVrOtta, at 7:30 p. m. Mobs Pursue Refugees.

I did, and here is the revolver to prove it.' " "In recommending that the cost of the Inspection provided for In this measure be met by an appropriation from the public treasury your committee has followed what they believe to be sound governmental policy and wise legislative practice. The Jews offered the best resistance possible, many of them being armed, but wore unable to prevent the pillaging of their homes and places of business. Finally the military interfered, but without being able to restore order. The police apparently had given over the Hebrew population to slaughter and pillage. Attorney A. T. Walsh, president of the school board, presented the diplomas. He was Introduced by Professor Shlel and delivered a short address. He alluded to Ade's description of the school-director and became the apologist of the latter by stating that all school directors can't be cultured, but, he said, whether they are or not, they try to conduct affairs carefully. "1 doubt," Mr. Walsh continued, "if there are any school districts in this great county wherein the affairs of the schools are managed with more care than in this city. The presence of this targe audience I feel is a manifestation of interest in the school work. I want to congratulate these young people for their application and they should be a pride and pleasure to you, as they are to their teachers and the district." To the graduates Mr. Walsh said that they should plan carefully /ind carry out with industry what they would decide on as their future course. He recommended to thefn the words of Scott: "A man who goes through life without a definite purpose is like a ship without a rudder." Industry, the speaker wished to impress upon them as a necessity. Genius has been said to be only an Infinite capacity for hard work. A local instance of industry was the invention of the duplex grate by Samuel Smythe, an invention that revolutionized the business of stove making. After admonishing the graduates to be holiest in all their undertakings and reminding them that they were particularly fortunate In being graduated from a good school in the greatest country of the world and on the threshold of the greatest century that the world will probably ever see, Mr. Walsh presented the diplomas, with the congratulations of the school district. Revolver Identified She then identified the revolver found in Poole's room nt the O'Hara home In Wysong Hollow. Port Washington, after he was arrested. The question of a new hospital, under Catholic auspices, has been quietly under discussion for two weeks .past. Some of the Catholic physicians of the city interested themselves in It and the arrangements for a general meeting were finally left in the hands of a committee. The idea is to have a hospital run on the same principles as Mercy hospital ,1». Wllkesbarre. Further consideration of the question will be contingent to a large extent on the action that may be taken next Wednesday evening. "Poole said: 'I took him down by the Now road past the camp meeting grounds, and there I shot him and then dragged Ills body into the bushes. As we walked along together I held m.v revolver in my right hand behind my back, and Jim asked me what I had there. I said, "Nothing." ' Poole said: 'Just as we were passing the camp meeting grounds I shot him twice. Jim fell and, looking at me, said, "'What have I done to you that you should do this to me?" 'Then he said he was going to die and asked me to shake hands. He held my hand until he died.' " "A Day on the Water" had the quality to bring out the best that was . in the youthful voices. Both were sprightly selections and the vim with which the chorus entered Into the rendition was good to hear. Celbet's "March of the Guard" was well rendered. Reasons For Taxing Government. COAL COMPANY IS STRINGING WIRES "The inen whose duty it will tie to execute the provisions of this act will be government officials, and their salaries should be paid as are the salaries of all other federal officers, by all the people and not by a special tax levied against a given Interest. The proposition to create by a special tax on a single industry a la rue fund which shall be held at the disposal of an executive officer to be drawn upon at his discretion without legislative enactment seems to your committee to lie an abdication on the part of congress of one of Its most important functions. Bialystok, or Bielostok, as It is sometimes called, is a thriving town of 75,000 people, situated about flfty miles southwest of Grodno and near the junction of the St. Petersburg- Warsaw and the Odessa railroads. It is a large trade center. I'eiuui. Co. Will Have lis I'rlvate Arc Annie was done full i^istlcc I.ight System With Plant ut Old Miss Katherlne I'yne delivered the first oration on "Moral Courage." The young lady was self-possessed and spoke In clear tones. Moral courage she described as a power of mind'that enables men to act in accordance with tl\e dictates of their conscience and to slate their opinions truthfully, In spite of what may be the opinion of the world. It is that quality that enables one at the proper time to pronounce the little word "no." The virtue of moral courage Is to be found in every walk of life. It Is shown by every one who seeks to be honest, whether his duties be little or great. The courage most needed In the world is not the heroic kind, but the ctfurage to be real and honest and to live honestly and truthfully. The world owes much to men and women of moral courage. Martyrs for faith, the speaker said, were greater than martyrs of science. Moral courage is absolutely essential to the formation of an honest and noble character. fXirge Colliery The Pennsylvania Coal Co. has a force of electricians and linemen working: on a private arc light system for use at Its collieries. At the present time most of the collieries are equipped with private electric plants, which are used to famish motor pow.- or and also power tor small lights. Arc light service, where it has been In use. has been secured from outside companies. The Pennsylvania officials have decided to have an extensive arc light plant of their own and one Is now being equipped at the old Forge colliery of the company. Poles are be_ ing erected and wires strung from Old Forge to No. 8 colliery and from that point a line will be run to No. Id and 1M0. !» shafts and to the Itanium shafts. Later the lower end collieries will be connected with the new system. Douma Angry at Government. St. Petersburg, June 15.—'The lower house of parliament was rocked and swayed by successive waves of passion evoked by a series of government communications, including Military Procurator Pavioff'a rejection of the appeal of the house for a cessation of the executions in the Baltic provinces and the coo! request of the procurator of the district court that the house expel M.

So fierce was the storm' that President Mourointso-ff announced he would adjourn the session If the demonstration was continued. In an interview with a member of the committee today it was made clear that the committee wishes the general public to be present at the meeting next Wednesday, evening and take an active part in any discussion that may arise. The man interviewed wished it made clear and emphatic that the meeting is not lo be an exclusive gathering, but, on the other hand, that all who feel any Inclination to do so are urged to attend aijd express their views. Found Dead In Well "Practically all of the precedents touching the payment of government officials ate In line with the recommendation your committee has made In this case. The existing meat Inspection law, for example, which has been in effect for nearly fifteen years, has been enforced from the beginning at the public expense. There seems to be no good reason why this practice should be changed now. The pure food bill, now pending before congress, If enacted Into law will entail for its enforcement a very considerable expense. This legislation seems to your committee to be exactly analogous to the measure under consideration, inasmuch as the necessity for It arises from a precisely similar cause, and yet it is nowhere proposed to tax the cost of the enforcement of this law against the manufacturers of the product to which the bill relates."

FINE VEGETABLES fi! tir 8 K will be here In abundance tomorrow including Home grown strawberries, Miss Agnes Gerrity repeated a well prepared oration on "The Land of Ivanhoe." Ivanhoe, the speaker said, was a source of never-ending delight to the young. This might be tracod largely to the manner in which Scott at once awakened interest in the very first pages of his book. The masterful descriptive language is at once an attraction to invite an examination of the towns in which the principal scenes ure laid. Sheffield, -with its older irregular formation, and Its modern well-la Id-out streets, its ancient buildings filled with historic lore. Is a place of the deepest Interest. Doncaster and York were described, and the speaker gave a picture of the great Shlrwood forest, the scenes of the activities of Ivanhoe and Friar Tuck and the gallant outlaw. Robin Hood.

The answer of the minority to the Hrst Is that the packers are well able to take care of themselves and should expect to pay the expenses Incident to the preservation of their business. As to the second, If the packers have been the faulty ones in bringing about conditions requiring drastic remedies they should be willing to bear the cost of the remedy.
