The Pall Mall Gazette said yesterday: “If the slightest diselpline is tobe preserved in our aiplo matic service Lumsden should be cashlered on 1.” Naturally the conservatives are g ® Warm welcome for him. THE CABINET DISSENSIONS. As to Irish matters, the cabinet is still unable to agree, and the air is thick with rumors. It is stated that at yesterday's cabinet, meet: Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Charles Dilke placec their conditional resignations in Gladstone's hands, to be used if coercion is decided upon. After the meetti Mr. Chamberlain did hot enter the house for some time. When he did he sat talking with friends on the radical benches below the gangway, Instead of taking his seat on the ministerial’ bench. This gave rise to the rumor that he had actually resigned.

SS Seoing Where Her Son Dic. ‘THE MOTHER OF ODLUM GIVES WAY TO HER GRIEF ON THE BRIDGE. From the New York Herald, to-day. A feeble, white-haired woman, around whose thin form the wind whipped the end of her Jong mourning vell, walked to the Brooklyn bridge yesterday morning and asked ts slon*to'see the place where ‘Robert. Emmet Odlum stood when he made his death leap. ‘The officers declined to allow her to walk on the carriage way. With asigh the woman tot- tered upstuirs and took a seat ina car. When the traln was in motion she approached the conductor and asked him to point out the fatal Spot. “There it 1s, ma'am,” said the conductor, politely pointing tow ctialk mark on the railing ge. of the “ht My God! My God 1” cried the woman, and tears rolied down her venerable face. ‘13 that where my boy Robert Jumped from ? Look ‘at that river so far down ‘there, and they let him do it—my God, they let him’ do it! What shall Ido?” ‘The poor, spare figure trembled, and even the conductor drew his hand across his eyes. “Wus he your son, ma'am ?” he asked, with & ge a ne ae s e was my brave boy, my gene! boy, aie sald; “and still they let bin take Lis own life.” Later inthe day Mrs, Odlum talked witha Herald reporter. “I came on here to lay the responsibility of my son’s death on the decoy who drew the police away,” she safd. “No matter how hard Robert hhad tried to maike that jump he could not have dotfe it without the afd'of that man. The police were notified by me, and they did thelr duty. I also want to deny that my grandson, Charlie Smith, was writing from Philadelphia to induce his uncle to make thejump. Charlie has denied ittome. My poor Robert was out of money, und he was too proud to own it to the world. i will never forget the look of agony in his face when I asked bim for money a few days before he died. ‘Mother,’ he suid, ‘I have none; [ have none” Tt is my intention to publish a book about my poor boy, and I will take the ma- terlal largely trom ‘his own notebooks. I am quite without support. The men who went to See Robert jump have forgotten that 1 exist.” ODLUM'S DECOY. ‘The case of James Haggard,who accompanted the unfortunate Robert E. Odium on the day of his fatal leap trom the bridge, was before Jus- tice Walsh, Brooklyn city hall, yesterday, Hag- gard,{t was alleged, went In acarriage in advance sa decoy to direct attention from the diver, Odlum. Assistant District Attorney Jenks charged that Haggard alighted from the car- riage on the roadway of the bridge, and b straggling with the police attracted 'a crowd, thereby endangering life. The defense was a general denial, Justice Walsh will consider the matier and render his decision on Thursday nex! Mrs. Odlum left here for New York on Thurs- day night, on the return of her daughter, Mrs, Smith.” The family are not at all satisfled’ with the investigation made in New York, Heve that there are others than Boyton and those whose names have been mentioned, who fre in a measure, at least, responsible for Od- lum's act.’ They have received some of the effects of the victim, but claim that the di ‘tebes preceded to him before he started for New York, and late letters received by bim have not been forwarded to them.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL GRADUATES. Interesting Exercises at the Congrega- tional Chureh—An Address by Prof. Adams, of Johns Hopkins University —A Mysterious Ceremony that Fol- lowed the Commencement. The class of 1885 Washington Normal school graduated last night with all the eclat that music, flowers, wit, learning, eloqnence and a large assembly could give to such an event. The exercises took place at the Congregational chureh,'which was crowded with the friends of the graduates and friends of the school gener- ally. The platform, which had been enlarged, ‘was tastefully decorated witn flowers. At the back of it a large Ameriean flag was spread. The choir lott was occupied by an orchestra directed by Prof. Kaspar, which, during the evening, rendered a number of selections ina very artistic manner. At elght o'clock the young ladies of the graduating class marched out.of the ante-room at thes side of the church, keeping time with mill- tary precision to a march played by the Orchestra. They took seats in two rows of chairs at the rear of the platform. ‘They were dressed uniformly in white, and the group ye penpane attractive picture to the young bachelors who were sprinkled throu: the audience tn goodly numbers. Mr. B. G. Lovejoy, chairman ot the school board cominit- tee of teachers, who presided; Miss Lucilla E, Smith, principal af the Normal school; Superin- tendent Paul, Prof. H. B, Adams, of Johns Ho) kins university; Prof. A. Graham. Bell, Rev. C. Meador, Prof. Fred. H. Butterfield, teacher of ‘Yooal music, and Misses Edith M.’ Pittis and Grace M. Ravenburg, assistant teachers in the Normal school, occupied seats on the platiorm, School Trustees Baum, Clark, Birney, ex-Trus- tee J. M. Wilson, Supervising’ Principals Stew- art, Gage, Janney and othe! ntlemen con- nected with the schools, and many’ of the teach ers were in the audience, District Commis- sioner Edmonds, who arrived late, took a scat at the side of the church near the platform. Rev. C. C. Meador offered an invocation. $he young ladies of the class sang, under the direc- ton of Prot, Buiterfield, a Vocal selection en- titled “The Swallow.” MR, LOVEJOY REFERS TO MR. WILSON. Mr. Lovejoy made a brief address, welcoming the audience, Ho remarked that probably the People of the city had no idea.how much the board of school trustees depended upon them, and leaned Mee their moral support in a com- munity which b not the right of self-govern- ment. The trustees had nothing to direct them but the moral sentiment of the peo} le, and it was to that moral sentiment that they looked for support. After referring to the sentiment of the age, in favor of the education of women, he sy ¢ of the normal school as an institution, dedicated to the education of women for the eee office for which it seemed God had pecu- liarly flited them. He expressed the Lope that the people of city would always the felends and patrons of the normal school. After deseribing brielly the rise and rapid advance- Ment of the public schools here in late years, lie said: “You owe allthis more to one man than to any other, and that mau is to-day ina sick bed in a distant city. eed not say that I re- fer to J. Ormond Wiison.” This reference to the late superintendent was greeted with demon- stratiye applause. Ar. Lovejoy then introduced as the orator of the evening PROF. H. B, ADAMS, of Johns Hopkins university, who delivered a thoughtful and interesting address. His theme was the study of history, aud he gave many valuable suggestions as to methods of making history a matter of live interest. During his address he referred to women who have achieved distinction in historical research and writing, and the gr bane in teaching history, he said, was the sive use of text-books, He condenined utterly the memorizing of what stupid authors say about history, and not giy- ing the children a chance to think about nis- tory. He advised young ladies to make a study of the local histories their towns, to preserve peculiarities of dialect, and make a record of characters. Thus a uew life and interest could be infused into historical studies. After tis address the young ladies sang a glee, commem- orative of the House That Jack Built, and its long train of appendages. CONFERRING THE CERTIFIOATES, Prof, Bell was then introduced, and delivered to the members of the class their certificates of graduation, Aseach young lady stepped for- ward to recelye trom Prof, Bell's hand a roll ot white paper, neatly fastened with a ribbon, there wasa storm of applause. The quarter of the house in which the storm center was 1o- cated, indicating very plainly where the young yady’s particular friends were seated. “After oak Prof. Bell spoke brietly, con- gtatulating the young ladtes upon the success- ful termination Of their long and ardent studies, and bidding them God speed in their work. THE GRADUATES were Misses Katharine Cecelia Babbington, Sephora Louise Bettes, Alice May Clayton, Lillie Cohen, Mary Ann Theresa Connelly, Marie Madeleine DeVote, Emily Enthoffur, Mary Florence Gordon, Emma Hanford, Rose Eva Houston, Carrie Virginia Law, | Mary Frances Agnes Lynch, Margaret Van Rensro- laer Morgan, Elizabeth Morris, Alice Catharine Noerr, Frances Channing Noerr, Annie Theresa O'Donnell, Loue Pollock, Aunie'Lee Pumphrey, Katie Robertson, Mary Jane Scrivener, Louise Lansing Smith, Elizabeth Victoria § iowden, Julia Hall Stickney, and Lelia Kila White. HOW THEY LEFT THE STAGE. This closed the formul exercises, but an inter- esting ecene followed. The young ladies were on the stage, and to most minds the question of getting them off again in an impressive manner, withoutan awkward pause, would be a very serious problem, This difficulty, however, was solved ina very graceful manner. While the Orchestra was playing the last number on the program, another bevy of young ladies, all ar- rayed in white, appeared at the foot or the steps. Eneh carried a basket of flowers with a card Attached, indicating for whom it was intended, These young ladies marched upon the stage, Kuch captured a graduate, presented her with the basket of flowers, and then, tating her arm, escorted her down trom the p in.

This incident, also, was in keeping with an annual custom. It was the initiation of the young graduates Into the sisterhood of teachers. ‘The members. of the class of 1884, each escorted one of the trembling, white-robed novitiutes around the corner tothe Temple eufe, where the solemn ceremonies were per- formed. No man’s eye witnessed the vestal rites, which were there held. The eyes of the assembly of stariag young men, who hung around the door, could see, however, as the door was swung open and shut, a lohg table loaded with fees und cakes and ‘trimmed with flowers, “They do not let any of us in,” said a supervising prinespal toaSrar reporter. “We do not know what they do there.” When the reporter suggested to Miss Smith the wisdom of having @ good supply of appolinaris water ready in the morning, she said, “We drink nothing stronger than—-,” and then closed the sentence with a laugh, leaving it to the imagination of the lis teuer'to AU up the blank. What mystic cere- monies were ene the young ladies would not disclose. It is said that in dedicating them- selves to the profession of teaching th ey took solemn vows to remain spinsters—ior at least tWo years. ‘The menu, so far as covld be ascer- tained, included: Exainiaation papers au natu- rel, broiled supervistug principal, teachers’ committee on toast, slate Pencil, tra flied school trastee and chewing gum, and the potations were confined to ink and mucilage.
