THEY MEAN BUSINESS They Are Also Equipped With Valuable Practical Knowledge. Graduating Exercises of the Business High School Last Bveaing— Music and Flowers, Sixty young persons, beautiful girls and handsome boys, composing aa attractive @ group as one might care to see, began Ife in earnest iast evening. ft was the graduating clas’ of the Washington Busi- ness High School.. The exhibition hall of ; the Central High School, on O street be- tween 6th and 7th streets was the scene of the commencement exercises, and a pic- turesque sight It presented. Long before 8 o'clock the auditorium was crowded far beyond even standing room, and later there was a large overfiow into the corridor. The vari-colored gowns worn by the feminine element of the audience formed! pleasing contrast to the white costumes of the young lady graduates occupying the left of the stage, and the evening attire of the young men, seated on the opposite end of the platform. Palms, potted and cut flowers and American flags wegg used in profusion for decorations. . Promptly on time the Marine Band or- chestra played the overture, Schlepeg-ell’s “Transformation,” and followed it with se- lections from “A Trip to Chinatown." Shortly after, to the tones of the “Liberty Bell March,” the graduates entered and took seats on the platform, as did Com- missioner John W. Ross, the presiding offi- cer of the evening; Superintendent W. B. Powell, Rev. Rush R. Shippen, Mr. Paui T. Bowen and Principal Charlies Allen Davis. The graduates were the following pamed: Wiliam Antonina Biondi, William Mat- thew Birchard, Edgar Thomas Branden- burg, George Samuel Butt, Robert Dexter Carter, John Halbert Collier, Robert Walter Frey, Jom Lemuel Fugitt, Thomas Grant, Isaac Gregg, Irvin Hollander, Waldemar Jansen, Charlies Carrington Lamborn, Thornton Thomas Lemon, Frank James Mc- Donald, Frank Yaweett McKernan, Thomas Sherlock Merrill, Ralph Conkling Muller, Henry Norman North, Frank Blake Parry, Harry Alleman Pierce, George Emory Pot- ter, Frederick Hotchkiss Ritter, Harry San- ger, John Quade Sheehy, Daniel” Paul Sigourney, Augustus Franklin Specht, Jos. Philip Stubener, Charles Stanley White, Henry Robert Wilkening, Henry Clinton Wilson, Hulbert Young, Fanny Loring An- d@rews, Mollie Watkins Annand, Jennie Ger- trude Booth, Lillie Burnstine, Florence Ber- tha Callahan, Harriett Kennard Carey, Katherine Julia Carey, Adda Drusa Car- roll, Jessie Gail Croney, Edith Salome Dyer, Nellie Deorfan mn, Golda Mae Gideon, Mamie Elizabeth Goodrick, Rosa Herzog, Gertrude Annie Higham, Louise Marta Hughes, Marie Louise Kemon, Grace May Martin, Edna Earl Mattox, Clara Bird Milligan, Duanna Elizabeth Mitchell, Alhe ugusta Parker, Alice mma Stuard, Lovie Lavinia Thomas, Bes- sie Stewart Tyler, Nellie Wyle Vincent, Bertie Blanche Yost. After an invocation by Rev. Dr. Shippen “La Czarine” was rendered by the orches- tra. Next Mr. Ross called on Superinten- dent Powell for a few remarks, and the latter responded by saying that the Bus!- ness High School stands on the same foot- ing as the Central, Eastern and Western High Schools. Entrance to it requires equilay as great an effort as to the others, and the only difference is that the course ts not as long. “You have done us credit,” Mr. Pow said, turning to the graduates. “Your character is known to the commu- nity as perfect and your conduct has been most satisfactory. Tablenux Vivants. the plano sounded, Misses Lillie Burnstine, Katherine Julia Carey, Nellie Deorian Edson, Grace May M-rtin, Clara Bird Milligan, Duanna Elizabeth Mitchell, Lovie Lavinia Thomas, Bessie Stewart Tyler and Bertie Blanche Yost arose as one person, advanced to the center of the stage, presented a series of tableaux yivants in a most pleasing and perfect manrer, and thereby earned rounds of ap- plause. Mr. Muth acted as accompanist. Again Commissioner Ross arose. “The great success of the public schools of Washington,” he said, “is largely due to the board of school trustees. It possesses the confidence of the community and of Congress. The members perform their duties without compensation; they appoint all teachers and janitors, and select the text books to be used. We have with us tonight a gentleman who has been a mem- ber of the board less than one year, but who for many years has displayed great interest in the subject, and had much to do with securing free text books for the children of this city. It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you Mr. Paul T. Bowen of the second schoo. district, who will address the graduates.” Trustee Bowen's Talk. Mr. Bowen was greeted with applause. In a short, but able and eloquent talk, he gave the members of the class much ex- cellent advice. In opening he stated that he was awere that they were accustomed to being told to stick to honesty, temper- ance, &c., but they would escape such utterances from him, although he did refer to the fall of Erastus Wiman. Mr. Bowen stated that it is wrong to work for work's sake, or to care for money for money’ sake, and before closing he advised his hearers to take care of their minds and to take care of their bodies, Leeause a strong mind needs a strong bod; “The Marine Band March" was rendered, and at its conclusion Commissioner Ross announced that Commissioner Truesdell, whose name was on the program to confer the diplomas, would be unable to be pres- ert. “But,” suid Mr. Ross, “if you young people do not object I will usurp that honor.” No objection was made, and as Principal Davis called the names of each graduate he or she arose, recelved a sheep- skin from the Conumissioner, bowed to the audience and passed from view, only to re- appear through a side doorway a moment later and again be seated, As each name was read its owner was received with ap- plause, the din being terrific as a particu- larly popular young lady or gentleman was called to the front. “Sleigh Ride” galop was played, Rev. Dr. Shippen pronounced a benediction, con- gratulations were bestowed, kisses and handshaking indulged in and the class of ‘94, Washington Business High School, had officially and successfully gone forth from its alma mater. ——_—_- They Went Home. The big band wagon of the Coxey army stopped in front of police headquarters this morning. There were several Coxeyites in the vehicle, but one of them who had be- come tired of life in the army of peace left the wagon and called on Sanitary Officer Frank. His name was given as James Hitchings, and he wanted. transportation in the direction of his home in California. He had seen the sanitary officer before and had been promised a free ridé as far as Cincinnati. Unlike the average member of the commonweal army, he had several pieces of baggage, including a large satchel, telescope, blanket and bundles, such as are often carried by persons who come from the country and go shopping. Hitchings came here on a train in advance of the Galvin army to make arrangements for the reception of the commonwealers, his fare having been paid by his friends. Another commonwealer, named John well, was sent away with him. A E ———— A Lemon Squeeze. The Society of King’s Daughters of the North Presbyterian Church gave one of their unique entertainments, called a lemon squeeze, at the residence of Mrs. Arm- strong, 535 Florida avenue, the president of the organization.

A meeting was held today at the office of Secretary Phillips of the Washington and Arlington railway for the purpose of discussing House bill 5803, providing for the repair of the damaged Aqueduct bridge pliers and the extension of the elec- tric line into Georgetown by way of said structure as far as the proposed union station. The bill now before Congress also provides for the payment of one cent for every passenger carried across the bridge. The money so collected is to be used in keeping the structure in good condition. Those present were unanimously in favor of the bill’s passage. They declared the partial occupation of the piers by a rail- road company would be of inestimable benefit to both Georgetown and that sec- tion of Alexandria county lying about the Aqueduct bridge. A Lecture. Dr. John Saadi, a native-born Egyptian and a member of the Gordon relief expedi- tion, will tonight appear in the parish hall attached to St. John’s Church and lec- ture on the irtals and work of those who went forth on that historical hunt. He will also speak of “The Women of India” and “Islam's Faith.” Dr. Saadi is a medical missionary, and is in this country for the purpose of completing his education.

Albaugh’s.—The public had already seen “Olivette” as done by the Strakosch Opera Company at Albaugh’s last night, ana ac- corded the performance enthusiastic ap- proval. But the living pictures were brand new to this city. The idea has been ap- proached before in an incomplete and ex- perimental fashion, but never beford this city has it approached an artistic ization. The intense lights are used in such a way as to bring out colors in their utmost brilliancy, and to soften lines and create delicate shadings, which appeal in- stantly to the sease of beauty. ‘The titles of the pictures shown are Paul Wagner's “Mignon,” “Queen of Flowers,” “Me and Jack,” Bruno Pilghein; “The Storm,” P. A. Cot; “Psyche at Nature's Mirror, Thuman; “Sappho,” I. Spiridoi and tne Butterny,” Bouguereau; “> . von Bodenhausen; “The Helping H: E. Renouf; “Loreley,” W. Kray; “T Diver” and “The Poiar Star,” L. Falero. To most of tne audience these living pic- tures were known in engravings and other prints, and to many the original of ‘The Helping Hand” is known, as it appears in the Corcoran Gallery. lt was probably the least satisfactory of all. ‘Lhe Storm, “Loreiey” (‘“Lopeia,” as one excited spec- tator ‘asisted on calling it), “The Polar Star’ and “Sappho” led in the exhibition, though it was narcly fair to discriminate, as what pleased one taste did not always please another. The noveity of the enter- tainment, combined with a vague idea that there was going to be something seen whicn would: startle. a Washington aud fence, drew an immense crowd, and the house and lobby were packed with peo- ple. Some of those who went in to see the shocking were disappointed, but those who wanted to see wnat was simply beautiful were highly gratined. Other new pictures are to be added, and this feature of the summer opera will become a feature, in- deed. For this evening and tomorrow the operd will be ‘““'ne Bohemian Girl.” National.—A house tull of people, to whom it did not occur that last nignt was a night when a cake of ice could not be left on the sidewalk with impunity for more than a few minutes unless it ran away, as- sembled at the Nationa! to see more ot the prevutling summer comedy. It began with . W. Jones’ dramatic sketch, “On an Is- lana, F bens the story of the marooning of ie Carlyton and Milly Garland on a nely island tn Lake George, both being in love, but not on speaking terms, as is not unusual with lovers, It is a very bright Uttle sketch and was burnished and polished to the highest degree by Miss Sanders and Mr. Wheelock. Tne raiser was followed by H. J. Byron's. “Uncle,” funny, but not strikingly original in plot or otherwise. Mr. Findlay did “Uncle Bootle,” the uncle of the plece, in most excellent old-man style and gave all the conspirators a chance to have fun with him. These conspirators were Paul Beaumont (Mr. Bond), Peter Fletcher (Mr. Coote), Mrs. Beaumont (Miss Stevens) and Miss Montrose (Miss Sanders). Mr. Beaumont had married against the uncle’s will, and to keep it from him Mr. Fletcher assumed to be Mrs. Beaumont's husband and Sarah Jane, the admirable ervant (Miss Findlay), gave the whole snap away and they lived happily ever after. That's the plot mostly, and the players all did beautifully, of course. Mr. Wheelock had a specialty as a pastry cook’s man and Miss Stevens had a chance to do more than she has yet done, and she did it in a man- ner to establish her prestige as a Washing- ton summer comedian. She and Mr. Coote sang a beautiful solo al fresco, with an ap- KX. Paul —— EXCURSIONS. Tomorrow the speedy and safe palace steamer Samuel J. Pentz will steam thrice to Capt. Randall's beautiful River View, leaving at 9:45 a.m., 1:45 and 6:45 p.m. The Jast trip will continue to Indian Head, be- ing the inaugural of these delightful satls down the moonlit Potomac. Capt. Randall takes especial pride in these mid-week trips to make them enjoyable for all. The Indian Head trips of the Pentz will be every Wednesday and Saturday at 6:45 p-m., stopping at River View both ways. The Washington Athletic Club will give its second annual excursion to Marshall Hall on next Wednesday. The club has made extensive preparations to make the occasion an interesting one, both from an athletic and social standpoint. There will be a bowling match between the Washing- ton Athletic Club and the Florist Club of Anacostia, a base bail match between the Atlantas and the team of the Washingtons and a match between the tug-of-war team of the Washington Athletic Club and all comers. In addition to these there will be other interesting athletic contests. Two gold medals will be given as prizes to the best waltzers. Prof. Nortwich, the cornet- ist, will accompany the club, and all efforts will be made to make the occasion a most pleasant one. The Jolly Fat Men's Club gave their third annual family excursion to River View yesterday, in which several thousand peo- ple participated. The pie eating contest was free to ull, and there were ten entries. Five ples were placed before each man, and in a little less than twelve minutes Edward Roche succeeded in getting away with his pile. He was given the prize of %. John Mooney finished second, about a minute later. In the 10-yard dash there was only one entry, Mr. Boyle, who has the reputation of being quite a sprinter. The other fat men refrained from entert: on account of Mr. Boyle's record of 10 1-2 seconds for the distance, and he was given the medal, after covering the course. Mr. Lake won the bicycle race, with Fister a close second. There were five entries in the mule race, and Mr. Wm. Mullen, who weighs 245 pounds, won, with M. A. Smith, 268 pounds, close behind him. The riders, in their efforts to get some speed out of the animals, caused considerable amusement, some of the riders being ulmost :.s large as the mules. The waltzing contest was won by Mr. Edward Spaulding. He was given a silk umbrella, and his partner received a handsome fan. The excursion proved the most enjoyable ever given by the club. Ss Commonwealers and Galvinites. Twenty-two Coxeyites deserted the com- monweal camp at Highlands yesterday in a body because of the empty condition of the commissary, while the Galvinites in Bladensburg had nothing to eat until even- ing, when a limited supply of provisions was secured. “Orator’ Ward and three companions left for Homestead, Pa., this morning as a committee to solicit aid. A Coxey man was ejected from the Galvin camp yesterday for being drunk. It is ex- pected that a number of “industrials” from Frye's “army” will reinforce the Galvin contingent tomorrow. ee To Enforce a Judgment. A bill in equity was filed yesterday after- noon by the Chr. Heurich Brewing Com- pany against Wm. Mayse and forty-four others to enforce a judgment creditor's bill of $709.75. —_—_—_ Lutherans! Two large choruses and an attractive program, Bay Ridge, Friday, June 22.—Advt, i | PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT Honors and Awards to Georgetown’s Students. An Excellent Program Marks the Closing Exercises—Scenes in For- eign Languages Presented. The preparatory department of George- town College closed last night with interest- ing exercises. Gaston Hall was packed, as is always the case on these occasions. The degorations were elaborate and beautiful. Bunting, plants and flowers were arranged in ail corners artistically. W. J. McAleer delivered the salutatory. Following him came a splendidly delivered selection, en- titled “De Libra Carnis,” after which the main program was presented in. several languages, including Latin, Greek, German and English, and consisted of scenes from Shakerpeare’s “Merchant of Venice,” under the title of the “Bond Story,” preceded by a discussion between two famous Greek tragedians, in which they claim they had reached the highest point of perfection at- tainable. Sophocles, a philosopher, to con- vince them of their error, brings before them these scenes. Those who imperson- ated the characters were John S. Garvin, Thos. J. Walker, Augustus DeY. Green, James C. Foy, James O'’Rlely Kuhn, Jas. E, Alexander, W. M. McCullough, Hugh McCann, H. B. Hoelman, J. B. Copeland, F. J. Leonard, Sumpter Calvert, Numa Lauve, Joseph De Young, A. G. Gross, A.
