COLUMBIAN PREPS Interesting Graduating Exercises Held at Metzerott Hall. Contestants for the Elocutionary Prises—List of the Graduates and Medalists. Metzerott’s Music Hall last evening was crowded with the relatives and friends of the members of the preparatory school of the Columbian College, the occasion being the annual commencement of that popular institution of learning. It was a very en- thusiastic audience, and the members of the graduating class, the medalists and the contestants for the elocution prizes were greeted with enthusiastic applause, in which the college and class yells loudly pre- dominated. Prof. A. P. Montague, the principal of the school, presided, and his assistant, Prof. J. W. Chickering, made the announcements. The Exercises. After an orchestra, composed of members of the Marine Band, had rendered “A Trip to Chinatown” and “The Darkies’ Dream” the Rev. Dr. A. J. Huntington invoked the Divine blessing. Mr. Thatcher, clerk of the graduating class, the second honor man, then delivered a pleasing salutatory. He was followed by Mr. H. H. D., Sterrett, the first of the contestants for the elocution prizes. His subject was “Damon and Pyth- jas.” The second contestant was Mr. Preston LB. Ray, whose theme was “An Address on Love.” “The Minstrel's Curse” was the subject of the third contestant, Mr. Wm. Db. Sterrett, “The Dying Alchemist” being the subject of Mr. Robert Farnham, jr., the next contestant. The orchestra then ren- dered “The Patrol Ethiopia,” after which Mr. Reginald 8. Davis recited “The Vage- bonds,” Mr. Chas) H. Holmead, jr., whose subject was “The Ow! Critic,” following him. test with a recitation of “The Uid Squire's Death.” The first honor man, Mr. Conrad M. Pat- ten, then delivered the valedictory, and hi effort was loudly applauded. “The Cocoa: nut Dance” was rendered by the orchestra, when the Rev. Dr, S. H. Greene addressed the gfaduates and medalists. Mr. Greene's address was a very brief one, but lengthy enough to give the young men some excel- lent advice. He told them that they should not imagine that they had reached the goal of life, but that they should remember that they had just about commenced their life work, and were face to face with new and trying conditions and problemns. There were no tricks of trade in the battle of life, said the speaker, for success was due alone to hard, unceasing werk. Above all, ad- vised Mr. Greene, they should attain a princely character. For it was by charac- ter that men were judged. ‘The Graduates. When the applause which greeted Mr. Greene's remarks had ceased, Prof. Chick- ering read the list of graduates and medal- ists, and as each young man stepped for- ward a@ burst of applause greeted him. ‘The graduates were: John H.

He was much flattered when told him she intended to give it his name, until he asked her reasons for so peculiar a proceeding. “Well,” said she, “you know, gear, it has a good deal of brass a out it, it is handsome to look at, it is not remarkably brilliant, requires a good deal of attention, is sometimes unsteady on its legs, liable to explode when half full, flares up occasion- roy is always out at bedtime and is bound to smoke.” The seventh contestant was Mr. | Mr. Greene delivered the | , benediction the principal of the school, Prof. she National Officers of Labor Organiaa« tions im Session in St. Louis. A confer2nce of naticnal officers of Inbor organizations assembled at St. Louls yes: terday, called by the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, with @ view to bringing about unity of work among all labor organizations, and to port back to the next meetings of al) suck national bodies. ‘When the conference was called to orde® by General Master Workman Sovereign, there were present nearly all the welle known reprerentatives of labor, including J, R. Sovereign, John W. Hayes, Samuel Gome pers, P. J. McGuire, 8. 8. Wilkinson, B. Eck! others. The the American Fi of Labor, as sec retary. s:xccutive sessions were voted for, and @ ccmmittee on law created to form a agreement for the consideration of the cone ference. Everything was conducted in perfectly harmonious manner, and the dis- cussions went to show that ‘the and a committee, consisting of Gompers, M. J. Bishop and Charles W, Mater, were appointed to act upon it an@ iaake @ report at the opening of the con- fererce loaay. The meeting was then ad- journed until today. Chairman Sovereign was seen at the close of the afternoon session, and stated posi- tively that there had been no talk whatever of any consolidation of the various organi- | gations. Addresses were made by many of the labor leaders in attendance on the corference. Hayes’ Resolution. Labor circles were considerably agitated yesterday over the news that when Secre- tary-Treasurer John W. Hayes and General Worthy Foreman Bishop of the Knights of Labor jeft Philadelphia Saturday to attend the big labor conference in St. Louis they carried with them a typewritten copy of @ resolution calling upon the members of all labor organizations to cease work until the aniners’ surike is settled or until Congress takes action to settle it. A telegram from a delegate at St. Louis received yesterday afternoon stated that unless some radical change wes made in the program the resolution would be pre- sented and ardently advocated today by General Master Workman Sovereign of the Knights of Labor, and that unless the tem- per of the conference changed it wovld pass with possibly but the three dissenting votes of the Locomotive Engineers. The resolution, which contemplates the most audacious and far-reaching move ever made by organized labor, reads as follows: “Believing, as we do, that the present conditions of organized labor are such a8 require that all organizations should put their shoulders to the wheel and assist one another, and whereas the United Miners. of America are now making a tremendous struggle against starvation wages that calls for ali the sympathy of all right-thinking people; therefure, be it resolved by the offi- cial representatives of the organizations herein represented, that we deem it advisa- ble to recommend to the executive boards of ali labor organizations of America to is- Sue an order within the next three days to all their members, from the Atlantic to the Pacinc, and from the gulf to the lakes, to refuse unitedly to do more labor until the strike is settled. “Resolved, That we mean by this that the locomotive engineer, the shoemaker, the blacksmith,car driver, brakeman, train- man, skilled mechanic, the carpenter, skill- ed and unskilled labor of every kind, shail cease to work until their brothers in dis- tress have been accorded justice, or until the United States government takes such Steps as will bring about the nationaliza- ton of the coal mines of America. “Resolved, That this document, when is- sued, be under the seal and with the signa- ture of every national and international labor organization represented in this con- Terence.” At the conference yesterday were three representatives cach from the Knights of Labor, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, Broth- erhood of Rail Conductors, American Federation of Labor, Union of Green Bottle Blowers, American Railway Union, Broth- erhood of Railway Telegrapbers, Masons and Bricklayers’ International Union and the represented by Workman Sovereign, Secretary-Treasurer Hayes and General Worthy Foreman Bish- op, and the other organizations by equally prominent members. see! TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE, How the Efforts of the Agricultural Department Will Be Directed. As a result of a conference between the President and the Secretary of Agriculture the appropriation for the extermination of tuberculosis in cattle will be expended by Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry, in such a manner as to furnish useful and practical information to the public concerning the disease and the best methods of treatment. It is stated that the ¢epartment will not buy cattle and slaugh- ter them, as in the past, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, but instead will make scientific investigations and furnish the results to state officials and the public. The department will continue to supply boards oi health and other state authorities with tuberculin—a preparation used to de- termine the existence of the disease. The practical work of the bureau for the eradication of the contagion, and all the principal experiments in connection there- with, will be conducted in the District of Columbia, where the federal jurisdiction is supreme. Dr. Salmon has made a state- ment in regard to the matter, in which he “We shall go outside the District for the purpose of making investigations only where there are doubts or differences of opinion as to the disease. For example, there was a panic at Williamstown, Mass., the other day. They killed 500 or more sheep and a lot of chickens, supposing that they had tuberculosis, but we could not find any. There were symptoms of a paras sitic disease of a local character, but noth- ing serious, and were glad to be of serv- ice to the local authorities in determining this fact. “In the District of Columbia, where there is no local government, we shall make @ thorough investigation. We want particu larly to ascertain what proportion of cattle are affected with or subject to tuberculosis. We are pretty sure that not less than 5 and perhaps as many as 20 per cent of miich cows a: ffering from it, but we want to get down a little closer and be a little more accurate than that. “We shall also conduct some experimental investigation to determine the best methods of getting rid of the disease, so as to fur- nish Congress, the authorities of the several siates and the public generally with in- formation as to what sort of treatment is the best, how to apply it, what it will cost, ete. The result, I hope, will be that the dis- ease will be entirely eradicated in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and that the public will be furnished with valuable information, which will enable them to reduce, if not exterminate, it throughout the whole coum- try.” — Wednesday at Bi Tomorrow the speedy and safe palace steamer Samuel J.
