DEGREES AND PRIZES > If their future legal career is half so glorious as its “commencement " the young lawyers who on last evening received their degrees from Columbian University have much to look forward to. Everything con- spired to make the occasion a most success- ful one, and it is very doubtful if any for- mer exercise of a like character attracted the same amount of attention as did the commencement last evening. floral and other decorations were beautiful, and the presence of many electric lights of varied hues served to make the effect still more pleasing to the eye. The Marine Band was on hand, as usual, and discoursed sweet music throughout the evening. The exercises began promptly at 8 o’clock and were opened by an invocation by Dr. W. A. Bartlett of the New York Avenue Church. After a selection by the orchestra, President Welling of the university intro- duced Mr. James C. Carter, the distin- guished lawyer of New York, who delivered the address to the graduating classes. Mr. Carter's Address. Mr. Carter's address was a gem of learn- ing and eloquence, and inasmuch as it can well be considered the expression of the views of this able jurist upon some very im- portant subjects, the embryo lawyers who listened to it will do well to incorporate into their n-ake-up the principles as there laid down, in order that they may achieve as substantial a suc- as has the one to privilege of listening last evening. Mr.Carter said: “The oceasion which brings us together is the departure of a company of young men from the halls of a university to different quarters of the country for the work for which they have long been in preparation. They propose to adopt the profession of the law—a profes- sion well described by one of the greatest chancellors of France as being ‘as ancient as the magistracy, as noble as virtue, as necessary as justice.’ “While their lives are all before them and their faces are eagerly and hopefully turned upon the future, they seek an expression of some thoughts appropriate to the hour from one whose life is mainly behind him, and who, having already made the journey, is not privileged, or condemned, to repeat it.” Some Practical Advice. From this the speaker inferrel thar some hints might be expected, drawn from what is supposed to be the wisdom of experience; some indication of the pathway to be select- ed on the one hand, or shunned on the oth- er; of the difficulties and perils which aro likely to be encountered, and of the means by which they may be avoided or overcome. Suggestions of this nature, he thought, would be more welcome and probably more useful than any attempt to impart more | instruction upon legal subjects. The future had in it many elements of adversity, which, if yielded to, would bring disaster and de- feat, but from which courage and resolu- tion would pluck success and victory. The | speaker assured his hearers that the work | of preparation was not finished, nor should | it ever be completed, for when preparation ceases, further professional success and ad- vancement will at the same time cease. It was very necessary that habits of cor- rectness and excellence should be culti- vated. Although the word artist did not seem exactly applicable to the lawyer, yet in some senses he might be sald to be ani- mated by the same motives which animat2 the artist. The love of excellence, not for | the reward which it brings, but for its own the purpose for which he is employed, is as the lawyer as with the painter or the poet. | This characteristic was especially necessary , in the work of the advocate, for it was his | work to persuade rather than to demon- strate. The art of commanding attention | was especially important, and the first re-! quirement for the securing of this end| should be that the advocate should be in earnest. Some might ask how this was pos- sible in those cases where the side which the lawyer is called upon to support happens | to be in his own belief the wrong one. There | were not many such cases. The lawyer is not charged in any case with the duty of | finally determining which side is right, but of finding grounds and reasons for defend- ing the side upon which he is retained. Where the lawyer felt that there were no just grounds for contention he should dis- pose of the case by advice to abandon the strife or seek counsel who may entertain different views. The arts of form, arrange- ment and expression came next in import- ance. The realms, not only of reason, but of passion, imagination, poetry, wit, hu- mor and satire might be made tributary to these ends. The speaker called attention to the ne- cessity of a liberal and genercus education. Many were deterred by the apparent vast- ness of the field of study. But it was not so vast as it seemed, for it was not in the indiscriminate perusal of many authors, but In familiar converse with a selected few that the lawyer should seek the needed aids which terature can furnish nim. Fature Prospects. Addressing himself particularly to the graduates upon the stage, the speaker said that while they would meet with difficulties and discouragements, he thought, on the whole, that the prospects for the American lawyer in the future were as bright as they had ever been in the past. One portentous cloud, however, appeared upon the horizon, but {t might yet show a si!ver lining. Their fair sisters -were knocking for admission to the legal penetralia, and who could tell how soon they might gain an entrance. “Indeed,” said the speaker, “they are de- manding a voice in the making of laws, and when this is yielded every door to a partici- pation in the administration of them must fly open. What new perils are to come from this strange rivalry for professional honors and rewards? What will be your conster- nation when, fully expecting to triumph for a righteous ‘cause, some fair Portia, fresh from an American Padua, and arrayed in every charm, stands up to address the jury against you! We may tremble for the in- teresis of truth and justice in such a con- t, unless, perchance—the only salvation— ome of her rivals are seated in the jury box. But, perhaps, instead of the dangers, the possible delights of the new order of things may have a superior interest for your younger minds. Professional consul- tations with the members of the learned sisterhood! Hours of weariness begulled and soothed! But enough; against such perils as these I must leave you to your I have no wisdom which may serve to guide you.” The Lawyer as # Legislator. In conclusion, Mr. Carter said that in the institutions of the society the studies and knowledge of the lawyer gave him incalcu- lable advantages over others, and imposed upon him a_ correspondingly increased weight of civic obligation. The vast ma- jority of our legislators had been drawn from the legal profession, and {t was un- doubtedly true that it would not have been possible to frame and set in motion our sys- tem of government unless this had been the At the present time the duties cf the legislators were more difficult than ever be- fo and it was the duty of every patriotic lawyer to respond to the call if it came to him, and take an active. earnest and hon- est part in the enactment of our country’s “You may,” sata the speaker, “reap the highest rewards and honors of ‘the forum; | but the triumphs are fleeting and evanes- cent. Seek also the greener laurels of the beneficial legislator, and gain for your noble,| profession new titles to the proud boast cf being the guardian of justice and liberty.” After two selections from the orchestra, President Welling, assisted by ‘Treasurer Martin of the university, conferred the de- Ps President Wellin from Mr. Justice Harlan, who is at present | in Chicago, in which the justice expressed | his best wishes for the success of the grad- | uates. This was greeted with tremendous applause. Awarding the Prizes. Then came a part of the program which was of great interest, namely, the awarding | of the prizes. Attorney General Olney per- formed this duty in a happy manner, and announced the awards as follows: First ram “Pre-existing debt as a consideration for the transfer of commercial papers.” The second prize of $30 went to Walter H. Ry- land; essay, “Res Gesta.” The third prize of $20, was awarded to Edward T. Lee, es- ray, “Res Judicata.” The prizes for best examination and hon- orable mention were as follows: The Pa‘ ker prize of $100 to James McIlvaine Gray for the best examination for the degree of bachelor of laws. Honorable mention was given to Messrs. Frank H. Hitchcock, H. Beach Needham, Fred Dennett, Sterliag Parks, C. H. Lauchheimer and H. N. Sa: ton, and the Briton prize of $50, for the best examination for the degree of master of laws, was given to Albert F. Flint. ‘The prizes given by the debating society on the merit of the arguments as presented at the prize debate last Friday evening were awarded as follows: First prize to Adolph Monell Sayre of the junior class, second prize to J. H. Thomas of the post- graduate class. The announcement that Mr. Sayre of the junior class had won this contest was the signal for the most vocifer- ous applause from the members of that class present. Degrees Conferred.

During that week three operas will be produced, and two of them were the best successes of the season. The repertoire will consist of “Bohemian Girl,” “The Little Duke” and Olivette.” The “Bohemian Girl,” Balfe’s tuneful opera, fs always sure of big patronage whenever pro- duced in this city. This is proven by pre- vious productions. In no opera, either of the past or present, are there five such beauti- ful songs as in the “Bohemian Girl.” These five principal songs are “With Heart Bowed Down,” Fair Land of Poland,” “Then You'll Remember “Marble Halls.” Miss Avery Strakosch will make her reappearance as Arline. Miss Strakosch has sung this role | with great effect with the Kellogg Opera Company, and the newspaper’ were full of praise for her magnificent singing and act- ling. “The Little Duke” scored a decided | success in the second week of the season. Ot “Olivette’” the packed houses which greeted it last week are sufficient proof of its popularity. During the intermission between the second and third acts the “liv- ing pictures” will be shown. The sale of seats opens tomorrow morning. Living Pictures.—One of the greatest rov- elttes will be placed upon the stage of Al- baugh’s Grand Opera House on Monday night next, and during the remainder of the season. This startling feature will be the importation from New York of the living pictures which are now creating a sensation at the Garden Theater, the Imperial and | Koster and Bial's. Mr. Williams, who su- perintended the original production in New York, has been in Washington for ten days working day and night preparing sufficient properties to make a grand setting for these beautiful pictures. The “Living Pictures” will be direct human impersonations of the masterpieces of the greatest artists of the modern and past ages. They will include, | among others, some of the most famous | works of Bougereau and equally well- | known artists. These pictures will be ex- | hibited each night between the second and | third acts, and will number from twelve to fifteen at each performance. The subjects will appear in exactly the same costumes as portrayed by the master brush. of the painter. The living subjects will have an artistic arrangement representing a huge gilt frame. The expense for this production is enormous, but, judging from the popu- larity the venture has made in New York, it is safe to predict that this Innovation will do the same with the Washington public | as it has with the New York theater goers. | “Vuur Bril, or the Evil Eye.”"—The new comic opera “Vuur Bril; or the Evil Eye,” the music of which is by J. Emory Shaw | and the libretto by Philander Johnson, both Washingtonians, will have its first produc- tion by the Strakosch Opera Company at Albaugh’s on the 25th instant. The work is now under rehearsal, and both Manager Strakosch and those who are to assume the principal parts are greatly pleased both with the score and lines, Metropolitan A. M. E. Church.—On Fri- Gey night the Kaffir choir, which has cre- ated such a wide interest in this clty, will give a concert at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The membe of this organization represent seven distinct tribes, speaking five cifferent languages, and they have met with great success wherever they have appeared. The choir ts on a missionary tour to raise money to build an industrial school to teach their people trades. a EXCURSIONS, Tomorrow the anniversary of the adoption of the United States flag occurs, and St. Aloysius Branch, 170, Catholic Knights of America, propose to give an excursion to River View. Speakers will be present for the occasion, and, together with the other attractions which have been added, will make the day a pleasant one. The steamer Samuel J. Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 7 p.m. Friendship Lodge, 11, I. O. G. T., will give an excursion to Marshall Hall on the Wsth.

The officials of the city delivery division recently completed the new directory of names and addresses of Washington people, the work on which was begun on December 1 last. The new directory fills a large num- ber of bulky volumes, and contains in all 185,459 names, or a little over two-thirds of the entire population of the city. This scheme of making a more complete lst of the population of this city is of the greatest possible assistance to the post office, especially in the matter of delivering mail which is improperly or carelessly ad- dressed. The plan followed out in making this directory was a very simple one. On the 1st of December the letter carriers were all furnished with blanks which were left at every house on their routes, with a re- quest that they be filled out with the full name and address of every person living in the house. In cases where an immediate response was not received the carriers were instructed to call again and make another effort at securing the desired slips. They met with very satisfactory success, how- ever, and the work of compiling the new @irectory was begun on January 1. This was no small task, as may be inferred bel it is said that these returns gave the nd residences of 95,459 more people than are contained-in the regular city di- rectory. Large blank books were then se- cured. The pages of the regular yearly di- rectory of the city were cut out and pasted in the blank books, leaving enough space about them for the extra names to be en- tered in proper order. The directory an- nually issued contained this year 90,000 names, so that the post office directory is now more than twice as large. Its value is increased, however, more than twice aa much, for a large proportion of names in the city directory are of people and firms who are well known, and in whose case there is less likelihood of mail coming im- properly addressed. With the large direc- tories which Capt. Bell and his assistants have recently completed the number of let- ters which eventually find their way to the dead letter office has been very materially decreased. It is rather Interesting to note how the additions have been made to the different letters. The largest number of extra names secured by the post office comes under let- ter B, and amounts to 10,168. As might be expected, the smallest number is under the letter X, where only six additional names have been discovered. The number of names added under the different letters of x r ‘The first directory of this sort was made in 1878, under the direction of Postmaster Edmunds. In 1885 the second was made, under Postmaster Conger, and in 1889 the third,under Postmaster Ross. On the latter |oceasion this plan of adding to the efficiency | of the city delivery division was called to the attention of Postmaster General Wan: maker, and he was so pleased with it that he communicated with every free delivery post office in the country, recommending the plan to them for general adoption. An exhaustive account of the workings of the system was published in The Star at the time, and Mr. Wanamaker had this repzb- lished in convenient form, and a copy was sent to every first-class post office in the country. The present directory, made undcr the direction of Postmaster Sherwood a Capt. James E. Bell, superintendent of the city delivery division, contains a large in- crease in the number of names over that contained in the directory of 1889. SEES SI cE GUNSTON INSTITUTE. Interes' = Closing Exercises at the Universalist Church. Last evening the friends of the Gunston TIhstitute gathered in the pretty little Church of Our Father to witness the closing exercises of the school year. They were well repaid,for there was a fine program of literary and musical features admirably rendered for their entertainment. There was no graduating class this year, as the school is still comparatively young, but on the platform were seated upward of two score pupils, ranging from little tots up to well-grown misses, and in all the exercises of the evening they gave evidence of the skill and care that have been expended upon their education. The evening was opened with a prayer by Rev. A. R. Stuart of Christ Church, Georgetown, after which the school rend ed, with excellent effect, a chorus, Wish for the Mountains.” Miss Wheatley and Miss Harrison gave a dialogue scene, which earned for them the enthusiastic ap- plause of the audience. There were vocal solos by Miss Love and plano solos by Misses Nelson, Jenkins, Julia Mason, Tuck- er and Townshend, and Miss Wise and Miss Walsh gave scene 3, act 2, of Marie Stuart. Among the others who took part in the entertainment were Misses Hume, Dodge, Adler, Triplett, Fitzhugh, Chew and Stuart, and the evening's entertainment | closed ‘with a pretty Deisarte tablea Rev. Landon R. Mason of Richmond, V brother of the institute's principal, delivered an appropriate address to the pupils. ge The Methodist Home for the Aged. Four years ago the Methodist Union pur- chased the dwelling and grounds located at the corner of 12th and N streets northeast, known as a portion of the Corcoran farm or Trinidad, and established there the Metho- | dist Home for the Aged of the Washington | district of the Baltimore conference. Its furnishings and management were intrust- @d to the care of a board of managers com- posed of eight ladies from each of the Meth- dist Episcopal churches of the city. Dur- {ng these years the ladies have been untir- ing in their zeal to prepare a comfortable home. and have been largely assisted in the noble charity by voluntary contributions from members and friends of the church. Ten thousand dollars have been expended by them in the repairs, furnishing, heating and living expenses of the home. At pres- ent there are eleven inmates, who are ten- derly cared for and provided with every necessary comfort. Earnest efforts have re- cently been made for the liquidation of a debt of $5,000 on the property. Money for this purpose will be brought In at the an- nval fest'val, to be held at the home on the afternoon and evening of Friday next.
