Cardinal Satolli Delivers the Prises— An Interesting and Pleasant Af- fair—The Students Honored. ‘The forty-seventh annual commencement exercises of Gonzaga College took place Jast evening at 5 o’clock on the lawn of the institution and were attended by an im- mense concourse of people. The stand, in which were seated Cardinal Satolli, Dr. Rooker, his secretary; Rev. C. Gillespie, president of the college; Monsig- nor Sbarretti, the members of the faculty of the institution, many visiting priests, the medalists and others, was profusely and handsomely decorated, end on quite a num- ber of houses in the vicinity United States and papal flags were flung to the breeze in honor of the occasion. The exercises were begun by the rendi- tion by the band of an overture, “The Twi- light Hour,” after which Mr. James F. Markey deliverea the salutatory. The or- chestra then performed the popular march, “King Cotton,” after which Mr. J. Vincent Coughlan made an address, taking for his theme “Catholic Pioneers of America.” “Around the Metropolis” was executed by ‘the band, and this was followed by an ad- dress on “Brendan, the Voyager,” by Mr. C. Hugh Duffy. After the performance by the band of the intermezzo, “Cavalleria Rusticana,” on oration on “James Mar- quette the Priest” was delivered by Mr. Henry A. Hegarty. All the addresses gave evidence of careful preparation and the language they contained, together with the manner in which they were delivered, caused each speaker to be frequently inter- rupted with applause on the part of the audience. Announcement was made that in the awarding of the medals and prizes the standard of merit 2dopted was: Highest attainable number of marks, 100; medal to the highest one above 8 per cent; pre- mium to the next above 85 per cent; dis- tinguished, 80 per cent; honorable men- tion, 75 per cent. One of the pleasantest features of the commencement was the fact that not a single one of the many young men who in scme way or other was honored by the faculty had the least idea until his name was called whether he was to receive a medal, premium, to be characterized as dis- tinguished, to recetve honorable mention or to be doomed to disappointment by receiv- ing no honor whatever from the faculty. Conferring Prizes. The prizes were conferred by Cardinal Satoll! in his usual graceful and dignified manner, after a brief address on his behalf by Dr. Rooker, who stated that the car- dinal was much gratified at being present on such an interesting occasion.

Mr. Spohp’s Address to the Painters— fe Blecirical Workers. The Brotherhood of Painters and Degor- ators held @ largely attended open meeting last evening at Red Men’s Hall, cerner of Qt hand D afreets northwest. President John G. Campbell presided. The object in having the meeting an open one was for the purpose of discussing matters of gen- eral interest to the trade, particularly the relations which should exist between the employer and employed. > Prominent members of the Master Paint- ers’ Association had been invited and were expected to attend the meeting, but through a@ mistake in the date of the meeting of the Master Painters no bosses were pres- ent. Secretary Meagher announced that a com- mittee of the union will wait upon the boss- es at the meeting of the association Wed- nesday evening next and arrange for a joint meeting of the two organizations for the purpose of concluding the trade rela- tions which ought to exist between the members of the union and the employers. Mr. Meagher also made a very encour- eging statement of the condition of the union, which, having been organized but. three weeks ago, has a membership of six- ty-five and is constantly increasing. He also stated that the most prominent em- ployers were favorable to the organization and had expressed a desire to meet in con- ference and he had no doubt of the result being satisfactory to beth. In the consideration of routine business, the cheirman of the contract committee re- ported that he had been assured by the brewers that no painters but those belong- ing to the brotherhood and having cards bearing the seal of the Building Trades Council would be employed upon their work. Mr. Spohn’s Address, In compliance with a request previously made by the union, President Milford Spohn of the Central Labor Union made a very able address on “The Principles of ‘Trade Unionism; the Proper Basis for Trade Organization.” Addresses were also made by Secretary Joseph F. Torrens of the same organization and Mr. W. F. Weber, district. organizer of the Central Labor Union. At the conclusion of the speaking a vote of thanks was tendered the speakers, The Washington Electric composed of members of Local Union No. 26, National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, held a delightful entertainment last evening at their rooms, No, 508 11th street northwest. . ‘The attendance was quite large, many of the members having also invited some of their friends to be present. In opening the exercises of the evening Mr. C. E. Moore, the librarian, made an address, during which he related a number of interesting events concerning the organization of the club and its history up to the present time. ‘The program and those who took part in it were as follows: Music by a quartet, com- posea of Messrs. H. F. Galleher, B. F. Jud- son, A. V. Holmes and A. E. Yundt; graph- ophone selections, Mr. M. O. Spring; banjo selections, Messrs. Aaron Stern and John Rosser; humorous recitations and witty sayings, Mr. David C. Bangs. At the close of the entertainment a smoker was given. en elg AN ANCIENT PIN. A Precious Relic Turns Up to Aid the President of the Roard of Trade. It fs not impossible that Mr. S. W. Wood- ward, president of the board of trade, may yet learn a good deal about the ancient and honorable pin, which is the object of search of an English correspondent, whose letter w: 3 published the other day in The Star. Today Mr. George W. Frosst of 1302 S street northwest brought to The Star office a sample of & pin that he strongly suspects of having been made early in this century. He had seen the statement about the letter to Mr. Wodward and was anxious to help him out in his search for facts. The pin held together the failing fragments of an almanac published in 1771 in Portsmouth; N. H., by Nathaniel Ames. It was bent and rusty, being about the length of the crdinary pin of today, but it was radically different in the head. Mr. Frosst stated that he had examined the pin under a powerful magnifying glass and had found that the head was apparently made of a plece of spiral wire, brazed on the shank, which tapered just at the junction with the head. ‘The head was spherical and not quite solid. Mr. Frosst said that he had had the almanac ever since he was a boy, and, be- ing fond of collecting antique documents, he had carefully preserved it. The pin that held the pages together had been there from his earliest recollection, and had never been disturbed. He knew that {t had been in that precise place for at least fifty years, which would make this particular slip of metal worthy of a place in Mr. Woodward’s researches. « —_——__ EXCURSIONS. The Grand Lodge of the Royal Arcanum geve its annual excursion yesterday to Marshall Hall and about a thousand mem- bers and thelr families and friends took the outing. The event was the nineteenth aniversary of the order, and was probably the most successful excursion ever given by the organization. The committee in charge of the outing from the Grand Lodge consisted of Messrs. Hayes,chairman; Brig- ham and Chase. All of the amusements at the Hall were tested to their full capacity, and a bowling contest was inaugurated be- tween teams chosen from the subordinate lodges. The River Queen and Macalester were both pressed into service to carry the crowd, and the last trip was made a ttle before midnight. A joint excursion was given to River View yesterday by the Sunday schools of the Epiphany and Zion Lutheran Churches. It is estimated that 1,800 people took part in the cuting, and about three-fourths of that number enjoyed the new amusement, in this vicinity at least, of “shooting the chute.” Although intermittent showers fell during the day, they did not in the least spoil the pleasure of the little ones and their older friends. ‘The Wednesday trips to beautiful River View were never more popular than they are this season, and in spite of the bad weather yesterday a crowd of 1,500 visited the View. “Chuting” parties to River View are becoming more and more popular and every evening large numbers of young people have a merry time “shooting the chute.” Mr. Frank Carlin gave a “chuting” party to River View last night, having for his guests Misses Emma Holtzclaw, Lizzie Holtzclaw, Lovie Randall, Estelle Randall, Marion Proctor and Lizzie Hellriegel. The Red, White and Blue Club, made up of attaches of the Police Court, has ar- ranged to give an excursion to Marshall Halli Tuesday, June 30. The steamer Mac- alester will leave at 6:45 o'clock, but tickets will be good on the morning and afternoon boats. The special features of the occasion will be a cake walk and a concert. ——— AMUSEMENTS, Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—Manager Kernan’s fifth week of popular burlesque productions will be inaugurated next Mon- day night, and the coming week promises to be the most successful of the summer season. The subject of burlesque is the “Mikado,” produced by Mr. John Grieves under the title of “Yum Yum’s Mash.” Several new features will be introduced, in- cluding an oriental ballet. New and elab- orate scenery is being prepared, while the costumes will be exceedingly artistic in de- sign and beauty. The vaudeville perform- ance in the garden will be entirely changed, and many new faces will appear, all of whom will come direct from the prominent roof gardens of New York city. — “Vive in Militaire!” ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: In reading an editorial relating to “Guards at tle White House” in The Star, it seems that objections have been raised to appointing soldiers in unifcrm from the barracks; the uniforms have been object- ed to. The Star is right in asking why ob- jection is made, but what the writer wish- es to know is, who is it that objects? Sure- ly no American citizen. I am a French- man by birth, and no Frenchman is ashamed of his nation’s army; he glories in the uniform it wears. France's zenith of prosperity has come through her army and America’s independence the same, yet one respects her nation’s defense and the other rather considers it a subject to be ashamed of. America’s pa*riotism is ex- pended all on her flag and little on the de- fenders of it. P.M. B. club, which 1$| OFF F®R HARRISBURG Local Delegstes,to General Conference of thie Epworth League.

The delegates from the Washington con- ference, numbering about fifteen, also ac- companied the party. Just before the train left the badges which will be worn by the delegates were distributed. These are even more beautiful than these which have been worn by the Washington delegates at former conven- tions. At Pittsburg, two years ago, and at Philadelphia, last year, the Washington badges were most admired on account of their arrangement and design. Those worn by the delegates this mcrning are a strik- ing and tasteful ccmbination of satin and gold. Harrisburg was reached in time for din- ner. At Baltimcre the dtlegates from that city, numbering about sixty, took the train, The ccnvention promises to be the largest and most successful ever held. It will open toMght with a magnificent reception to the delegates, at which addresses will be made by the mayor of Harrisburg, Gov. Hastings of Pennsylvania and by Prof. Eugene ( Foster, president of the convention, who is well known in Washington. Tomorrow evening Gov. and Mrs. Hast- ings will tender a reception to the conven- tion at the executive mansion from 5 to 7:30. ‘The headquarters of the Washington del- egation will be at the Russ Hotel. Presi- dent Tasker will be in charge of the party while it Js In Harrisburg. Among the prominent speakers will be Bishop Fitagerald of the M. E. Church, Rey. Jesse Bowman Young, D. D., editor of the Central Christian Advocate, and Wm. Burdette Mathews, formerly president of the Washington District Epworth League. A number of matters of importance will be considered by the convention. Comprising, as it does, the territory covered by seven of the jargest conferences in: Methodism, the proceedings will be watched with in- terest. Washington will be represented by two conferences. The batt.efield of Gettysburg will be v ited Monday, and the Washington visito:: Will reach the city in the evening. — ‘Henderson Drum Corps Reunion. The second night of the’Henderson Drum Corps third annual reunion and lawn fete at the Mth Street Park was even more en- joyable and profitable than the first night. Although it rained a great deal of the time, there was a yery large crowd pres- ent, and the pavilion afforded sufficient ac- commodations for all. The organizations present were the Canton Potomac Drum Corps and Field Band, Victor Drum Corps and the Union Veteran Legion. Mr. Trout- man of the Union Vetera> Legion, on be half of the Henderson Drum Corps, w: comed the different organizations with an appropriate speech, which was answered by Mr. McLean of the Canton Potomacs. There was plenty of music throughout the evening, and afterward the people were given some funny and interesting selec- ticns by Mr. West Berner. This evening there will be several organizations present, among them the 5th Battalion, National Guard; two divisions of Knights of Pythias and the Conn Drum Corps. As this is the last evening a large crowd 1s expected, and it will probably be the most enjoyable night of the lawn fete. Music will be in attend- ance during the evening. ——— Batch of Prisoncra. In charge of United States Marshal T. J. Allison of North Carolina and several deputies, nine priscrers arrived at the 6th street station at 9:40 last evening, en route for the Albany penitentiary. The party was met at the station by several police- men, and the convicts, six of whom were white men, heavily chained together, were placed in patrol wagons and driven to the sixth precinct station, where they spent the night. The convicts were Andrew Hurley and Joseph Luther, convicted of violating the revenue laws; Turner Holderby, mall robber; Tice Wagner, post office robber; Harvey Church, robber; J. R. Maynard, coin counterfeiter; George Hunt, moonshin- er; Robert Downs, robber, and Jim Robin- son, coin counterfeiter. ‘The deputies were C. H. Armfield, N. N. Colvert and Edward Allison, ee ‘There were ten prisoners when the party started from North Carolina, but one of them, M. M. Calloway, escaped at Greens- boro” Tuesday night ‘by slipping off his handcuffs and diseppearing in the crowd as the train rolled into the station. The party resumed their journey to Albany this morning, and will arrive there this evening. —=— To the Democratic National Conven- tion at Chicago, IIL, via Pennsyl- vania Rallrond.

Judges Hagner, Cox and Cole of the District Supreme Court Jate yesterday af- ternoon visited the District jail, and while there examined a number of witnesses in connection with the charges of misman- agement recently filed against Warden John R. Leonard. While the judges refuse to discuss the matter, !t can be stated on the best of authority that, as intimated in The Star several days ago, the charges against Mr. Leonard will shortly be dismissed. The judges examined James Peake, Jas. 8. W. Cotton, Frank Buckley and William Edds, who were, it is said, produced to substantiate the charges, and Raymond ©. Cook, who filed them. The latter admitted, it is said, that he had a candidate for Mr. Leonard’s position, and Peake admitted signing an affidavit subsequent to the one produced in support of the charges, the charges being repudiated, it 1s said, in Peake’s second affidavit. Warden Leonard and all the other prison officials were also examined by the judges, ag Mell as Maud Lilley, a prisoner, and tfleir testimony amounted to a complete repudiation of the charges. Upon the con- clusion cf the examination, the judges were esecrted through the prison, and their in- spection of it revealed a highly creditable ecndition of the jail and {ts inmates. The formal conclusion of the three judges will be submitted to their associates in a few days, it is understood, and there is little or no doubt that their report will be a com- plete exoneration of Mr. Lecnard. Explosive Celebration of the Fourth. To the Editor of The Evening § 2 The firing of crackers, large and small, and of rockets at night on the Fourth of July has been a privilege iong enjoyed by the children end young men and women of our families. 1t has added no little joy to the day in the family and about, and in front of the family mansion. The youth of our families have always looked for- ward with joyous impatience for the op- portunity, In the presence of parents and friends, of firing their reckets and crack- ers, in the street before their homes. I was in Brooklyn, N. Y., for ten or twelve days, returning to this city Monday even- ing last. From the front windows of a relative’s large and handsome windows, every afternoon and night I witnessed the ceeasional firing of packs of crack- ers and the latge cannon crackers in the open streets, and in the presence of policemen. I was told this wag getting ready for the Fourth.
