Ma- grader presented appropriate resolutions to the memory of the late Judge Merrick, which were adopted and ordered to be entered upon the minutes. Mr. 8. M. Yeatman presented a list of officers for the ensuing year, but the re- port was laid upon the table. The thanks of the association were tendered Condé B. Pallen and Martin F. Morris, the poet and orator of the day, respectively. z : ‘At night the banquet at Willard’s fittingly closed the exercises of alumni day. It was held in the long dining-room of the hotel, the only lace large enough to accommodate the two Eundrea and thirty who participated. At the further end of the room, on the east side, was a large table on a raised platform, at which sat Rev. Father Richards, the president of the college, and the dignitaries of the church. At & table running parallel with this were the offi- cersof the Alumni association and many in- vited guests. Seo there — @ series of i po ranged diagonally across the room, and par- allel with each other, at which the remaining alumni were disposed. The menu cards were fine specimens of artistic excellence, and the menu itself was evidently satisfactory. All the tables were profusely decorated with flowers, while at the table of honor were three massive and artistic pieces of floral architecture. It was 11 o'clock before President Coleman called the large assembly to order and intro- duced Mr. C. OB. Cowardin, of the Richmond Dispatch, a8 toast-master. The and responses were as follows Yelcome of the Society of Alumni,” Jas. V. Coleman; “University of Georgetown,” Rev. J. Havens Richards, 5. J.; i Ino. €, ment,” Jos. Taber Johnson, M.

Welling, resident Columbia District of ‘olumbia; “Invited Guests,” Prof. Dwight, Harvard college; “The Press,” J. Brisbin Walker. All the speeches were extremely happy, and far above the average standard of post-prandial oratory. Each speaker was greeted with ap- lause, while three cheers were given for ‘ather Richards, Father Murphy and Harvard college. After the regular toasts were over brief speeches were made by Condé B. Pullen, Harry C. Walsh, editor of Votes and ‘ and Thos. Flatley, deputy collector at the Bos- ton custom house. The last gentleman was several stories which kept in a perfect roar of laughter. A letter from the President of the United States was read in reply to the request of a committee who waited upon him yesterday afternoon to request that he would accord the alumni a reception, and that Mrs. Cleveland would be present at the academic session to- day, saying that he would hold a reception for the alumni in the college building after the ex- ercises were over, but that Mrs. Cleveland, owing to the pressure of other duties, would be unable to be present, A toast to the memory of the brothers Mer- rick was drunk in silence, and the evening closed by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” Theological Degrees. IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY IN GASTON MEMORIAL HALL WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The ceremonies attending the conferring of the theological degrees by the faculty of George- town college were held Wednesday night in Gaston meworial hall, and were most impres- sive. On the stage, besides the candidates, were the president and faculties of the college, His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons and a large num- ber of bishops. archbishops and other church dignitaries. While the body of the house and the galleries were crowded with spectators, a majority of them being ladies. Father Welc! address in latin was listened to with some im- patience, but there was great interest dis- played when Father Murphy in a clear and distinct voice announced the names of those who would receive the degree. The pro- fession of faith was a solemn one, as was also the investment of the cap and ring, which was made by the cardinal, each candidate kneeling to receive the honor. ‘Those receiving the degrees comprised the list already published in THe Stan, with the addition of Rev. T. J. Conaty, of Worcester, ADDRESS BY MONSIGNOR PRESTON. Monsignor Preston then delivered an address. He referred to his gratification in being al- lowed to take even an humble part in the cen- tennial ceremonies and the pleasure it gave him to be able to express his own gratitude and that of his associates for the great honor con- ferred upon them. All good Catholics, indeed all porte gph nme must feel great pride and pleasure in the g-and and joyful solemnities of thir at centennial. His own sense of his un- worthiness of the honor bestowed only height- ened his appreciation of it, and the honor itself wes so awash the greater coming as it did from such a university, the first Catholic American > eppagen of learning and the mother of them Monsignor Preston then spoke in glowing terms of the jesuits, and said it had been his privilege to sit at their feet during all his Cath- olic life, indeed daring all bis intellectual life, for they had been his masters in learning be- fore he had the happiness of entering the house- hold of the faith. They are the vanguard of the church, the right arm of the body of Christ, their blows are ever aimed at error with cer- tainty and fearlessness, and their voices seem inspired by the one whose chil- dren they are. Dignity creates responsi- bility. and those who have been so highly hon- ored by their alma mater are bound to labor hereafter for the glory of God and in the cause of truth. They have taken anew their oath of humble obedience to the church of God and to the vicar of Christ, the successor of Peter, the rock upon which the church was found. They are soldiers engaged to battle under the great ¢aptain of salvation in the warfare of trath against error. Im @ brilliant and masterly manner the speaker arraigned the follies of the day, agnos- Scism, communism, socialism. The church wages her fiercest battles no longer against simple heretical doctrines, but against unbe- lief. Men are not ashamed to declare that they believe nothing, and while calling them- selves philosophers, deny the fundamental truths taught by reason itself. and stand before the world as agnostics. Simple reason can confute the follies of such men, and with rea. son alone they can be overcome. We hear much of progress, but where is it? We are a race of boasters, and boasting isa sign of akness, but are we equal to the giant intellects of the past; are we progressing in real learning? In material things, the adaptation of known prin- ciples to our convenience. we are progressing, but not so in intellectual things. Communism seeks to destroy evil; it seeks tomake all men rich by making the rich poor; it destroys, but never builds. Socialism ares that certain Batiral belong to all men, and then it denies use of these goods to individuals. ‘Thanks to God the power of the church still lives. Men can never destroy evil in this world of sin and sorrow, but they can lesson it by overcoming it, or by bearing it patiently. And Thus those inv with the great dignity re- ceived to-night from their beloved alma mater will ever strive to battle cog the age they go forth, stives worthy sons of of the university.

She ran to an adjoining cabin, where several women were. struggled loose from Littleton and PURSUED THE FLYING GIRL, swearing he would accomplish his purpose. The negro women protected Miss Pinkston with clubs until Littleton, who followed, had ar- rived, when he grasped Thomas, who struck him with an iron instrument. Littleton then drew his pistol and fired on Thomas, striking him in the forehead. The bali flattened itself against the negro’s skull and knocked him down. Littleton then tied the scoundrel se- curely and delivered him to the officers, ‘Thomas was jailed, but as two prisoners have been taken from the jail here and hanged within the last two years, the deputy sheriff spirited the prisoner away a tew minutes after he had been incarcerate HE WILL BE LYNCHED.

BUT THE COMMITTEE ON NAVAL MANEUVERS THINK ITS STRENGTH SHOULD BE DOUBLED. Extracts from the report of the British committee on naval maneuvers in 1888 was presented to the house of commons yester- day. They say that the nation hasevery reason to be satisfied with the personnel of the navy, but that Great Britain is far from being as strong as she could be on the seas. They say: “We are decidedly of the opinion that no time ought to be lost in placing the navy beyond comparison with the combined naval forces of any two powers, At the same time we believe the navy is strong enough to engage any single maritime power with success.” sins Nothing Doing on the Isthmus. Purser Kelly of the steamer Colima, which arrived at San Francisco Wednesday night from Panama, stated that work is almost totally sus- pended, There are a few hundred men still employed, but chiefly to keep the machinery in order. The Jamaica laborers are leaving the Isthmus in great numbers. Although 5,000 men are idle no trouble is anticipated.’ At Culebra the Columbian government has a force of about 100 soldiers. An English and a French man-of-war lie ai cor Corporeal Punishr A WOMAN EDITOR THINKS THAT BAD GIRLS SHOULD BE BIRCHED, From the London Queen. ; The question as tothe proper mode of in- flicting corporeal punishment is one that has been strongly debated. There is no doubt that it should never be placed in the power of pupil or assistant teachers; the head master or mis- tress should alone have the power to punish, The question that has been raised as to whether girls should be exempt from it is,.to say the least, childish. Those who know anything of the working of ordinary schools are well ac. quainted with the fact that, when girls are prone to be troublesome, they are infinitely more dif- ficult to deal with than boys, and that there are always in every large school some few who are amenable to no other discipline. They must either be dismissed, to their imevitable ruin. or they must be allowed to remain and practice their wilful disobedience, to the destruction of the discipline of the school and the eprruption of the other pupils. To say that such girls should not be subjected to the only treatment that can avail for their reformation is simply _ and parcel of the maudlin innane sympathy with the wrongdoer that is characteristic of a small section\of peo- ple at the present time. Much outcry has been made against the de- ding effect of corporeal punishment. As of- ten inflicted, the outery is not without cause; but that a boy or girl can be degraded or in- jured by being caned across the shoulders fiction.” All impu! interdicted. Boxing the ears is a most injuri. ous mode of punishment; it often causes severe and permanent injury to the brai the hands with a cane, much more with a har wooden pointer, is objectionable, as being lia- ble to injure severely the tendinous tissnes and numerous joints of the wrist and hand, but birching across the shoulders where the broad, flat bones and ribs are good bulworks protect- ing the vital parts, is a power that should be intrnsted to every head teacher in every school. A power to be most rarely used, but always to be held as a Nemesis that is ready to overtake the evildoers. {t may be said that such senti- ments are unnatural and not in accord with the highest philosophy, but to take example from nature, pain is to be regarded as an institution ordered by a higher than human intelligence that prevents us from injuring our own bodies and so tends to our preservation. There is no jaw, human or divine, that prevents our utiliz- ing it for the benefit of our children. co Henry Labouchere’s Experience. From Loudon Trath. Iwas at a private school: The master was an unmitigated ruffian. If we did anything wrong during school hours we were told by an from lumbago. Periodically he used to crawl into the room on all fours, rear up when he Proceed to beat him savagely with acane. I lieve he thought the exercise was good for hislumbago. Then I went to Eton. Dr. Haw- try was the head master. He was an amiable and kindly man and a fine gentleman. He probably flogged about twenty boys every day onan average. He did it with exquisite polite- ness, and, except on rare occasious, the whole thing was a farce. Four cuts were the ord nary application, and ten cuts were never ex. ceedey The proceedings took place in public, and any boy who had a taste for the thing might be spectator. If the victim flinched, there was ahowl of execration. Far from objecting to this, the doctor C pape of it. I remember once that a boy fell on his knees and implored him to spare him, “I shall not condescend to flog you, but [leave you to your young friends,” said the doctor.

The democrats of the House failed to sccom- either. They talked the whole situation over, but it soon developed that whichever side the minority happened to be on they would not re- gard the vote of the caucus as binding. Mr. Mills and Speaker Carlisle were absent. Mr. Crisp (Ga.) opened the proceedings by explaining his reasons for desiring the caucus. He said he believed the best interests of his party demanded that there should be a full and ® free expression of opinion on the subject with a view to reaching harmonious action. ted soe yet phere poeeaiemg tele rstood, an ro) remain ways and fs Soonuil ittee and the cratic — les, Mr. rain *(Tex.) brought forward the first formal proposition of the caucus by moving to adopt a bill made = of that portion of the Senate bill which relates to the free list and the Randall substitute for the Cowles bill. Mr. Bynum, ofjthe ways and means commit- tee, introduced as a substitute a resolution P viding for a new caucus on Saturday night next, and that all members present should bound by its action. Mr. Randall opposed all delay and declared that the matter must come before the House at once. There was a very —— expression of views, showing a great difference of opinion. Mr. Crain proposed the adoption of the Rand- all-Cowles bill with the Senate free list attached, reducing the revenue $36,000,000. He said he had fought for and voted for the Mills bill, but since that could not become a law he thought something else should be done. * The two Breckinridges, Mr. McMillin, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Bynum, of the ways and means committee, fought against the Randall propo- sition, while Mr. Randall defended his attitude with great vigor. A sharp tilt occurred be- tween Messrs. Randall and Breckinridge of Kentucky. At U o'clock the caucus adjourned without action, M. Tirard For Cabinet. At 8 o'clock last eve President Carnot signed a decree appointing M. Tirard premier and minister of commerce; M. Constans, min- ister of the interior; M. Rouvier, minister of finance; M.

Recently a candidate for membership in one of the swell up-town clubs of New York was black-balled in consequence of certain remarks made by an influential member of the club. These remarks had for their foundation the fact that the applicant for membership came of a long line of tradespeople and not from the creme de la creme of Gotham. The matter was being discussed a few evenings i up-town drawing-room, when a quiet matron hailing from the same locality in which the ancestors of the blackballing member lived remarked: “What would his old father have said to this? He was a good, sensible old man, and never ashamed of his trade.” “Trade!” exclaimed the company in one breath. “Why, what was his trade?” “Why rebottoming chairs, my dears. He used to bottom chairs for scores of people on the eastern shore of Maryland, and many a time i this same boy, who is unwilling to admit into his club the son of a tradesman, has carried these chairs home upon his shoulders and brought back the money that purchased his dinner. I hope, my dear,” she continued, ad- dressing her remarks to a nephew, who was one of the most pronounced dudes in the same club, “that you will never cast disrespect upon the memory of your grandparents, who worked side by side in the same factory.” A bombshell could not have produced a more startling sensation, and this specimen of the jeunesse doree to’ whom the remark was ad- dressed wore a far more ghastly hue than if he had been told that his honest and respected randparents made their fortunes through ‘orgery and other equally commendable sources, Verily, life is a mixture of many things and one often runs across combinations and effects that make one rub one’s eyes, paataneetia./we Usama eee John in Two Capacities.
