The Commencement Last Evening— The Corcoran Scientific School— Dr. Muir’s Address. The seventy-third annual commencement of the Columbian College and the eighth annual commencement of the Corcoran Sci- entific School were held at Metzerott Hall last evening. Because of the inclement weather the audience was smalier than it otherwise would have been, but the hall was, nevertheless, more than half filled with the relatives and friends of the grad- uates. The stage was tastefully adorned with great palms and fragrant flowers, and just over it hufg a great diamond of white immorteiles, bearing on its face crossed banners of blue and gold, the col- lege colors, and the figures ‘05. An orches- tra rendered several selections of popular music during the evening, and great mass- es of beautiful floral remembrances were piled upon the stage in front of the grad- uating classes. After President S. H. Greene led the gowned and capped members of the faculty and of the graduating clgsses to their seats upon the stage, he introduced the Rev. Dr. A. J. Huntington of the faculty, who in- voked the Divine blessirg- One of Sousa’s stirting marches was then rendered by the orchestra, and then Presidert Green pre- sented the Rev. Dr. J. J. Muir, who briefly addressed the graduates. Dy. Muir's Addrens. Upon the tombstone of Greene, the great historian, said Mr. Muir, were the words: “Died learning.” Those words were pro- phetic ones, true in all branches of learn- ing. But, while true, the student, declared Mr. Muir, has within him certain possi- Bilities, and while he may and probably will die learning, many things he may learn and much he may accomplish before he passes away. Above all, the student learns to think. He is taught to think. A great thing to do, said Mr. Muir, a God- like attribute, one possessed only by man here on earth. Yet the one great and need- ful thing in education was to teach how to think. Commencement day the student suddenly finds that the horizon is extended wonderfully, the area of understanding en- larged, and greater opportunities present- ed to him. His world is increased and the capacity for self-government enlarged, for he finds that he will bave in the future not so much to do with books but more, very much more, with things and men. Ther fore he must know or learn the world, whether there is ancther beyond, and what is best for him under the circumstances. He must feel and realize that learning is the one great thing of life, and so live and learn here that he may step into the life beyond to learn of God’s goodness and love ard forgiveness. Prise Winners. Apother musical selection followed, and then President Greene announced that Dr. J. McBride Sterrett would next year give a prize of $4 or a half-year scholarship for proficiency in ethics and for the best essay on an assigned subject. Dr. A. P. Montague then awarded the Stoughton prize for excellence in Latin to Miss Mabel Whitman Davis, the Ruggles prize for ex- cellence in mathematics to George Roscoe Davis. The Enosinian Society prizes were awarded as follows: Debater’s medal to Charles Le Roy Parker, and the Gore prize for excellence in parliamentary law to Edward Alfred Playter. To Edmund K. Broadus the lodge prize for excellence in French was given. To Perly Egbert Ste- vens the Fava prize for excellence in en- gineering work was awarded by a board of experts, consisting of District Commtis- sioner Powell, F. W. Holt and J. B. Brady. The work submitted by the young man was a plan for a union station of railroads entering the city, and he successfully de- fended his thesis. The Schmidt prize for excellence shown by a student entering the second year's course in engineering was won by Frederick Ferguson Reissner. The Graduates. The prize winners were enthusiastically greetel, as were the following graduates, as President Greene handed them their diplomas: College—Bachelor of arts—George Roscoe Davis. Bachelor of sclence—Clara Anna Crew, Addie Estelle Maguire, Charles Le Roy Parker, Daniel Webster Prentiss, jr., Spen- cer Baird Prentiss. Sclentie school—Bachelor of science— Agnes Mary Graham, Henry Ward Turner. Civil engineer--Perly Egbert Stevens. President Greene, after Mr. George Ros- coe Davis had delivered a graceful and earnest valedictory, briefly addressed the graduates, wishing them every success in life, and asking them to always advance the best interests of the university. During the year, he said, the number of students had increased from 54 to $9, and the com- ing year the number, it was believed, would be between 100 and 125. The faculty would also be increased and reorganized. The exercises were closed by Rev. Dr. Muir pronouncing the benediction. ee AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Pleasant Affair at the Potomac Com- mandery Last Night. Those who attended the Petomac Com- mandery entertainment last night at Ma- sonic Hall were treated to a rich selection of literary and musical delicacies. The Frogram was among the most choice ever presented here, the talent ranking among the best in the District. Mr. Bertram Te: ple, whose conscientious work with lead- ing tragedians has won him recognition in many cities, gave ‘“Rienzi’s Address to the Romans,” from Mr. Barrett's version of “Rienzi, and Mare Antony's “Curse from “Caesar.” Mr. Wm. H. Con- whom everybody knows and recognizes a fine entertainer, gave his parody on The Children’s Quarrel” and “Giovanni's Story of George Washington.” Mr. E. C. Moore gave tne countryman’s description ot “How Rubenstein Played” and “O'Grady’s Goat.” Geo. O'Connor was called “ri lections, and Robert Lowe and Miss Helen Prentiss Donohue presented a sparkling little sketch, artistically and appreciatively done. Later the floor was cleared, and an exhibition of fancy dancing ‘enjoyed. Among the terpsichorean artists were Miss Blanche Wise, Miss May Chapman, Master Geo. Hunt, pupils of Miss Clara Stevens; M. Arial Chapman, the champion of the District, pupil of Prof. Caruanna, and Miss Clara Stevens. The latter's “Margurette,” was particularly prett the efforts were highly creditable. The en- tertainment committee was composed of Dr. J. F, R. Appleby, J. Barton Miller and Wm, F. Hunt. Were Married. Miss Agusta Memmert, daughter of the late Charles Memmert, and Dr. John Miller of Roanoke, Va., were married last night. Owing to the recent death of the bride's father the ceremony was very quiet. Only the immediate relatives and friends were present. The marriage was solemnized at the home of Mr. H. G. Wag- ner, 3118 Dumbarton. avenue, brother-in-law of the bride. Rev. Stanley Billheimer ot the Lutheran Church officiated. Dr. and Mrs. Miller will spend their honeymoon in the south. Miss Bessie Murphy, the youngest daugh- ter of Rev. and Mrs. Edgar Murphy of 2706 Olive avenue, was married last even- ing to Mr. Richard S. Locke. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. H. Brooks, pre- siding elder of the Washington annual vonference, assisted by Rev. 8. A. Lewis of Mt. Zion Church. The presents were nu- merous and handsome. A reception fol- lowed the ceremony at the future home of the happy principals, 716 23d street. Notes. Samuel Johnson, an aged man, was taken sick on the street yesterday, and it was found necessary to convey him to his home in the patrol wagon. John Mack, colored, twerty-three years of age, was locked up yesterday, charged with stealing lumber from the Union depot site at the Aqueduct bridge. Officer Sulli- van discovered him in the act. The Academy of the Visitation will close tomorrow afternoon with the usual exer- cises. SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA. A warrant was issued Tuesday last for the arrest of a young man named James Anderson of Pennsylvania avenue extend-. ed, who was charged by a young woman living in the city with indecent asggult. When Arderson was notified by his fami- ly that policemen had been looking for him he proceeded to the Anacostia substa- tion, arriving shortly before 1 o'clock yes- terday morning, and gave himself up. He declared that the statement of the girl was false, and that he would prove so at the earliest opportunity. “However,” said he, “I will go home for tonight, and will re- port here promptly in the morning.” An- eon was permitted, to depart, and he either has forgotten all about his promise or else has left the neighborhood, for the most diligent search has failed to find him. Mrs. Arthur Tudge of Jackson street has returned from a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Weigel, in Prince George’s county, Md. An interesting meeting of St. Andrew's Guild of Emmanuel P. E. Church was held last night. Previous to the meeting Rev. W. G. Davenport delivered an instructive lecture, and the litany was recited. Mr. D. T. M. Shanks, who has been very ill_with malaria, has nearly recovered. The Moerlein Social Club will give a com- plimentary excursion to Bay Ridge, Sun- day next. Flag day will be observed with appro- priate exercises at the Van Buren public school. Twelve of the little girls will after- wards go to Rev. Dr. Sunderland’s church, Washington, where they will give the Balch salute under the direction of Miss Brewer of the Anacostia school. Mr. Frederick Butler, who has been se- riously ill for some weeks, has recovered. Mr. Frederick Bryan, heretofore for a long time organist at Emmanuel P. E. Church, has accepted a similar position in Washington, and for the present Mrs. R. A. Pyles will fill the vacancy at the Ana- costia church, —_-—__ BROOKLAND. Mr. Audubon Ridgway, son of Prof. Robt.

Church held a lawn party and strawberry festival on the lawn of Mr. I. S. Hollidge Tuesday evening, and despite the inclement weather there was e# large attendance, and quite a sum was realized. Mr. and Mrs. Hollidge did everything pos- sible for the comfort of their guests. The District Commissioners have granted the petition for the erection of a watering trough for horses on the corner of Fort street and Bunker Hill road, and it is hoped that it will not be long before it will be put in position. This will be of great benefit to the market men going through Brookland to the city.

IMPROVING THE POTOMAC Major Davis’ Report of the Operations Dur- ing the Month of May. Dredging the Channel and Work Still to Be Donc—Repairs to the Aqueduct Bridge. Major Davis has made a report to the chief of engineers of operations for the improvement of the Potomac river during the month of May. He says that dredging in the Washington channel under the con- tract with the New York Dredging Com- pany was completed May 23. The amount of material dredged and deposited on the flats during the month was 64,472 cubic yards. The channel was widened to 400 feet from the upper end of the arsenal grounds to Giesboro’ Point, a distance of about 7,000 feet, the depth made being 20 feet at low tide. The total dredging in the. Washington channel was 221,742 cubic yards, and in the Virginia channel 202,483 cubic yards, making a total of 424,225 cubic yards. Work Still to Be Done. The construction of the sea wall in the tidal reservoir was continued, and 550 lin- ear feet completed during the month. Favorable progress was also made with the work on the training dike on the west side of the Virginia channel. The channel from the upper end of the arsenal grounds to its junction with the Virginia channel is still to be widened to 400 feet and made 20 feet deep. The” widening and deepening of the Virginia channel below the Long bridge, So as to facilitate the discharge of freshets and prevent overflow’ of the city,is also still incomplete. The reservoir outlet is com- plete, except the railing. All the dredged material is being deposited on the flats, and practically the entire area to be re- claimed has been rafSed above the over- flow at ordinary high tide. Repairs of the weduct Bridge. In a special report in regard to the repair of the Aqueduct bridge Major Davis gives a detailed acount of the work on the coffer- dam at pier No. 4, under the contract with Shailer & Schniglau. The repairs to the dam having been completed, pumping was resumed May 20 and continued cautiously until May 29, when a level of 22% feet be- lcw tide was reached, exposing the mud overlying the rock bed of the river, and showing the whole of the eroded cavity in the west end of the pier. This cavity was found to be about twenty-five feet wide at the bottom, nineteen feet high and twelve feet deep. Besides this large cavity the sides of the footings were found to be un- dermined from three to four feet for much of their length. The cross shores or braces in the original cofferdam of 1838 had be@n left in place and built into the masonry of the pier. They have proved a source of weakness, so Major Davis says, as it was found that ‘the masonry near the cavity kad cracked seriously along the westerly line of shores. The masonry of the old pier below low tide level was found to be of an exceedingly poor quality, the stones having been apparently laid as they came from the quary, with little attention to shaping or proper beds. Pumping Out the Dam. Major Davis says it fs, therefore, not sur- prising that the masonry was eroded by the fresh currents. . The granitesice breaker has been supported during the pumping out of the dam by heavy wooden’ struts, put in place by the diver. It was found that the difficulty of supporting this overhanging masonry and the danger and difficulty of building up under it would be so great that it was deemed advisable to take it down before commencing the new masonry. This work will be next undertaken. At the close of the month the dam was still held at the depth of 22% feet below low tide. A pump was kept in slow operation to pump out the leakage in the dam, which fs esti- mated at 600 gallons per minute. It is pro- posed to push the work on the pier am rapidly as conditions will permit. —————— THE DRILL OFF. High School Regiment Opposed by the Rain. The annual exhibition drill by the regi- ment of High School Cadets is off, for this year at least. It was hoped that the drill would only be postponed until ‘more ‘favor- able weather, but today it. was learned that not until next year will the public have a chance to see the full command in regi- mental evolutions. The companies rendez- voused at New York avenue and 13th street, and then, headed by the full Marine Band, playing the Morton Cadets March, marched down H street to 6th, thence to Pennsylva- nia avenue and, coming up the avenue at company front, wheeled into regimental line and went into the Light Infantry arm- ory. This maneuver was made necessary by the downpour of rain, which commenced just at this time, and precluded any pos- sibility of an exhibition on the wet grass of the White Lot. The boys made an ex- cellent showing and received the well-de- served plaudits of the spectators along the entire line of march. Although an immense crowd had assembled on the oval just back of the White House, in the vain hope that the rain would cease in time, they were disappointed, and the suldier boys marched back to the rendezvous in about half an hour and were dismissed for the year; to return to their respective schools by companies. It was though: that at one time a drill might be given. at the Arlington Hotel, but this idea was dis- missed, along with the rest of the projects which were under discussion, and, after the blank cartridges had been returned, the regiment marched away. Col. Shuster commanded the regiment, with Adjt. J. W. Butts and Quartermaster Riggles as his staff. Maj. Harry Domer marched in front of the first battalion, with R. Kimball as his adjutant, while close beside him marched Henry Leonard, the lieutenant colonel of the regiment. Maj. Stewart commanded the second bat- talion, with Adjt. Barber. Battalion Quar- termaster W. P. McKee marched at the head of the regiment. Sergt. Kenny and a force of mounted policemen went in front of the bind, with the regimental officers and the non-commissioned staff. The com- panies in marching up, company front, were in the following order: Company A, Capt. Auer; company D, Capt. English; com- pany C, Capt. Sommers; company H, Firs! Lieut. Ramsburg; company B, Capt. Butt company E, Capt. Jones; company G, Capt. company I, Capt. Grayson, and y F, Capt. Sites. Capt. Taussig ‘ay at Annapolis, and his position was filled very acceptably in the prize company by First Lieut. Ramsburg. ——.__. Close of the Misses Tiffey’s School. Owing to extreme illness in their family the usual exhibition of the Misses Tiffey's school could not take place. But on Wed- nesday, the closing day, the scholars as- sembled in the parlor of 1436 Corcoran street, the home of the Misses Tiffey, and some creditable recitations were given by Misses Daisy Farnham, Bessie Lyman, Frances Towers, Fennie and Dudley Man- ning, Lillian Harris, Marie Brunson, Helen and Marguerite Munn, Faith Perry, Ethel King, Frances Burt and Flora and Lilltan Manning, and Masters Newman Perry, Oscar Claxton, Arnold Wilson, Clifton King, John Wright and Paul Hay. Quite a number of the parents of the lit- tle ones were present and enjoyed the ex- ercises. At the conclusion of the program refreshments were served to the pupils. Se Good Sparring st Kernan’s. There were two good exhtbitions-of spar- ring at Kerran’s last evening. Brown and Banks, clever colored lightweights, fought six fast rounds to 2 draw, Brown having a trifle the better of it. The gtar event of the evening was a ten-round go between Gans, colored, lightweight champion of the sguth, and Swigert, white, of Baltimore. They put up a good fight. Swpigert was badly punisbed, but fought back gameiy. Referee Northridge called it a draw, be- cause, he said, Gans had fouled Swigert with his elbow. There will be two good bouts this evening. make the hair grow a nateral color, p: 1 keep the scalp healthy, Hail’s Renewer was iuvenied, and has proved itself suce cessful. 2 To
