History of Gonzaga College and Some ' Interesting Events, List of Eminent Rectors Who Have Served. CITIZENS WHO GRADUATED One of the most pleasant features of the diamond jubilee of Gonzaga College, which, as heretofore stated in Tne Star, begins to- morrow, is the authoritative announce- ment that Rev. Father Cornelius Gillespie, -who has already served two terms as presi- dent of the institution, and has done so much to advance its Interests along ev2ry line of work, is to be permitted to remain at his present post for at least one year longer. Gonzaga was the first college in the city of Washington, having been founded several years previous to the Co- lumbian University. One of the distinguished professors at Gonzaga College, in speaking of the ven- erable institution last evening to a Star re- porter, said: “A glorious history is hers. It is the his- tery of an institution that long before the advent of the public schools. and long b fore the founding of the present private schools and colleges cf the city, was al- most the sole educator of the youth of Washington city and the chief mstrument that formed the public mind. It has heen said that nine out of ten of the old citizens of Washington seem to have been at one College. ly true, yet an examination of the old rev ords will show a galaxy of the most promi- nent business and professional men of the District. It was the alma mater of Henry May, one of the most distinguished orators that Maryland ever produced, and for sev- eral terms a member of Congress from Baltimore; of Dr. Noble Young, of William Douglas Wallach, founder of The Star; of his brother, Richard H. Wallach, mayor of Washington; of James M. Carlisl& one of the must_distinguishea of American law- yers; of Rev. Fathers Williom F. Clarke, S.J.; James A. Ward, S.J.; Robert Fulton, S.J.; William B. Cleary, 8.J.7 Daniel Lynch, S.J.; while Rev. Jeremiah Cummings, D. was a student; of the late Judge William M. Merrick, of James Hoban, George V Anderson, John F. Callan; of the Brent Boones, Diggses, Masis, Riggses, Morgan: Hamiltons, Magruders, Mattinglys and many others.” Enrly History. Rev. Anthony Kohlmann, $.J., was ap- pointed in 1821 the first rector of Gonzaga College, which was then located on F street between %th and 10th northwest. Father Kohimann, after years of priestly labor in Italy and Austria, on the 2ist of June, 183, entered the Society of Jesus at Dunebourg, Russia. Soon after the first year of novice- skip he was sent to the United States. On his arrival at Georgetown College he was named Socius to Father Neale, master of novices, and appointed to give missions to German congregations in Pennsylvania and Maryland and to attend the Catholics of Alexaadria, Va. Archbishop Carroll sent him in October, 18u8, to New York city as pastor of St. Peter’s Church and as administrator of the diocese. His assistant was Father Benedict Fenwick, S. J., afterward bishop of Boston. In order to accommodate the increasing number of Catholics he purchased a lar; plot of ground in what was then unimpro: ed land, between Broadway and the Bow- ery, and laid the cornerstone of old St. Patrick's Cathedral on June 8, 1809, On the site of the present cathedral he established the New York Literary Institution. On a certain day in the year 1810 Father Kohlmann baptized a child who had becn carried by its father from Brooklyn to S: Peter's Church. That child was Jobn Mc- Closkey, destined to be the first American cardinal. Not long after the arrival on December 2, 1815, of Right John Connoll: cond bishop of New York, Father Kohlmann was recalled to Maryland, together with the faculty of the New York Literary Institu- tion. While residing at Georgetown College Father Kohlmann was named successively master of novices, president of the college, professor of theology and superior general ef the Maryland miss:on. In 1821 he be- came, in addition to his office of superior of the mission, president of Gonzaga Colleze essor of theology to the scholastics who assisted him in the management of the schools. Hence the name “Washington Seminary,” 2s the college was then called. It was here that he wrote his learned work, “Unitarianism; Philosophically and Theo- logically Considered,” in refutation of Unitarian ministers. The arguments for the Incarnation are at this day frequently made use of by the students at Woodstock College. Directed by the ability and experience of Father Kohimann Gonzaga College became the leading school of Washington But he was destined for a more respon sible office. Pope Leo XH, who had in 1821 restored the Roman coliege to the Society of Jesus, summoned Father Kohlmann to Rome to fill the chair of theclogy. He was there the professor of Leo XIII when his holiness attended the theological lectures in the Roman college. There is mention made of Fathe- Kohimann in the Latin poems written by the holy father. In the succeeding pontificate of Gregory XVI Father Kohimann was promoted <9 the office of qualificator of the Roman in- quisition. He was already a member of the congregations of ecclesiastical affairs, of bishops and regulars and consultor of the inquisition. The last years of his life were spent at the Gesie in constant labor. He was so devoted that death came near _find- ing him at his post in the confessional, an Lis zeal was rewarded by numbers of strilt- ing conversions. He died April 11, i836. Suceceding Rectors. ‘The second rector was Father Adam Mar- shall, who served frcm 182t to 1826. He was a quiet and unobtr@sive gentleman, fond of his books. and best known to the inmates of the college by his attention to the good order c¥ the classes and the dili- gence of the students. He labored so well to raise the standard of the classes that at the end of 1825 the college closed with the complete number of classes usual in Jesuit colleges. The president and faculty only heeded the legal right to confer on George W, Anderson, who had fizished his philos- yophy, cum maxima laude, the degree of bachelor of «rts. Lhe third president was Very Rev. Will- fam Matthews, the fifth priest and the first American-born pr.est, ordained in the Uni- ted Siates. He was pastor of St. Patrick's, and because ours could not receive tuition znd had no funds otherwise the seminary Was turned over to him, while the fathers in his pay continued to teach the classes. He was at one time a novice of the Society pf Jesus, in 180) (entered March 17y, but left ufter a ycar (approbante super). He it was who induced the opening of a classical school in the city of Washington,as George- town College was d‘fficult of access in those days, before horse, electric or cable car had come to shorten distances. . While Father Matthews was president of the seminary Father Keily was superior of the community and assistant pastor of St. Patrick's Church (1826 to 1828), Under his tration the college flourished, but the father-general in 1828 suppressed the fseminary and transferred its faculty to Georgetown College. The reason of this was that at that time no dispensation had been granted by the pope to receive pay Troma exterus. A boarding college not ea- dowed could be permitted, but the charge shotild be for the board of the pupils, not for their tuition. Under no circumstances could this permission be extended to a day gollege. Therefore, the father-general was -W. | but do‘ng his duty in writing that the tak- sing of money for tuition was not in accord- ance with the Institute of the Society of Jesus. The classes of the old seminary were no longer taught by Jesuits, but a secular, Rey. Join Dormilian, rented it and continued the Latin and Greek classes, During the interval between 1828 and 1845 the school was never entirely extinct. Its Work was perpetuated by Dr. Philip Smith, Messrs. John Develin, McLaughlin brothers and Michael Shyne. Reopening of the College. Father Matthews’ desires were fulfilled, imary was reopened with 200 students on {Mr. and Mre. the ‘rells. Rev. ‘pin Blox, 8, J, was “ap-| pointed presidents; father Vespre vice presi- | dent, and Daniel Lynch, S. J.; Robert Ful- gnd Nicholas Byrie, 8, J., were its pro- fessors. ‘Amoneo tHe students of this year were Judge Marr, Morris,-Father Peter Paul Fitzpatrick, #.° ¥.° James Hoban, Jas. Pilling, Wm, B. Gleary, 8. J.; Francis, Mo- hun, James W. Gifme, ‘the late Walter C. Briscoe, M. D.; Qé}i. Charles Ewing, Thos. King, John Boon, etc, The progress was lasted two days” Two hundred and sev- enty” blooming. ths” were participants. Gen. Zachary ‘Tpyjor, President of the United States, was present. This is called the “great commencement,” September 1, 1849, 340 pupils, guqjby Christmas the num- ber increased to, fayr hundred. On October 2, 1350, there were 525 stu- dents. “‘Jug”ig mentioned among the records of this period as the “penitentiary.” There were sixty-four-speakers at the ex- hibition given on February 28, 1851. The exercises begah at 9 am. Father Blox was succeeded in 1851 by Father Samuel Barber, who was one of the celebrated Barbers, who joined the church in 1820. Father, son and grandfather were successively converted. The male portion Joined the Society of Jesus; the female por- tion entered various religious orders. Father Barber had been a seminarian at the old seminary, with Mr. Vander Velde, afterward bishop of Chicago and Natchez. Father Barbec was a man of intense re- ligious sentiment,‘ very strict: toward him- self and others. Father Jas. Ward was his prefect of schools. Only twenty of the large number of students failed to pass the examinations at the end of the year. In 1858 the Washington Seminary Guards, the precursors of thé Gonzaga College Cadets, were organized, but it is said they were killed by Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War, because he was afraid of allow- ing boys the use of gavernment rifles. Under Father Barber commencement ex- ercises took place two’ weeks earlier than usual, thus prolonging the time of vacation for the boys. They usually began at 9 a.m. and lasted six to seven hours! History Continued. Father Hyppolyte de Neckere, S.J., was the siath president of the college, serving from 1834 tu 1857. There was nothing of especial note occurred during his adminis- tration, except that he shortened the pro- gram of the commencement exercises. He was succeeded by Rev. Burchard Villiger, S.J. in 1 But Father Villiger did not remain long in office, as he was made pro- vinclal of the Maryland province in 185s. Under him the determiration was made of building a church on the corner of North Capitol and I streets, as the archbishop wished the college to remain in Washing- ten. Father Charles Stonestreet, S.J., (1850-1) was the eighth president. Under him the work of building St. Aloy: curried on and completed. The gollege was chartered during his administration with tke title of Gonzaga College on May 4, 1858. Richard H. Clarke, esq., drew up the bill of incorporation. Senator Brown said that “there was not even a comma wrong in it.” The Church of St. Aloysius was com- pleted and blessed on October 17, 15 The rmon on that oecasion was preached by @rchbishop Hughes. The President, Jam Buckanan; the cabinet and members of the legations were all present. Father Benedict Sestini was the architect. of the church. Under Father Stonestreet the Phocion So- ciety was organized in 1! Although the class of rhetoric was com- pletee, Fr. Sopranis would not allow a teacher of philosophy, und the class gradu- ated from Georgetown College. The ninth rector of Gonzaga College w: Wm. F.

State G ermment in Control of He- publican: nd Populists—The Senatorship. Correspondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., November 12, 1896. Out of the election the democrats canfe in a quite dilapidated condition, with one Ccngressman and not over forty members of the one hundred and seventy in the leg- islature. The odds were immensely in favor of success by the fusionist republi- cans and populists, who worked together like a machine. ‘The estimates of the re- sult as made in this correspondence in The Star closely approximated the result. ‘The corgressional delegation stands as fcllows: Harry Skinner, populist (re-elected), district, majority, 3,400; George H. White, colored, republican, second district, ma- Jority, 2,750; John E. Fowler, populist, third district, majority, 2,100; W. F. Stroud, pop- ulist (re-elected), fourth district, majority, 4,008; W. W. Kitchen, democrat, fitth dis- trict, majority, 340; Rev. Charles H. Mar- tin, populist (re-elected), sixth district, ma- jority, 2,600; Alonzo C. Shuford, populist {re-elécted), seventh district, ‘majority, 4,500; Romulus Z. Linney, republican (re- elected), eighth district. majority, 1,500; Richmond Pearson, n (re-elected), ninth district, majorit White is a lawyer and has for se years been state district soli Fo served in the last state senate, is qu young, and is a member of the populist state committee. Kitchen is 2 son of Congressman “Puck” Kitchen, and 1 lawyer. His opponent, Thomas S mede a desperate fight to win. He will, it is hinted, make a contest on the ground of alleged irregularities. The Senutorship. During the campaign the cuestion of United States Senator cut but a small tig- vre, The democrats seemed to have no candidate, and the populists likewise stood off. The republicans had Jeter C. Pritch- ard, and if the declarations of their state chairmen and committee are true, will re- elect him. The fact !s, the republicans nave so much strength in the legislature that they do not need much populist aid to manage this matter. It is true that the populists hold the balance of power, and can really name the man if they wish, but the ublicans say enough of the populists are pledged to Pritenard :0 jus tify the statement that nis re-election is sure. Otho Wilson, a popvlist comiittee- man, who did more than any otaer popu- to defeat the democrats, is an avowed candidate, having first made the regular announcement to that effect last Friday. He said the next day that he had the dem- ocrats in a tight place—that they would have to vote elther for him or for a gold hug. Both republicans and democrats ridi- cule Wilson’s candidacy. The democratic leaders, though they ac- knowledge their overwhelming defeat, are looking ahead to IS%8. Their state chair- man, in his address. the defeat was due to fraud. It sume very in- fluential democrats a couple of weeks or the campaign ended the democrats attempied to draw ihe color line, with a view largely | to winning the populist vote, but not much resulted from it. The leaders say the movement was not begun in time. The State Government. The state government passes entirely into republican and populist hands. The tollowitg will be the officers who take || charge in January: Daniel L. Russell, re- publican, governor; Charles A. Reynolds, republican, lieutenant governor; Cyrus Thompson, populist, secretary of state; W. H. Worth, populist, treasurer; Hal. W. Ayer, populist, auditor; Charles H. Melane, populist, superintendent public instruction; Zeb. Vance Walser, republican, attorney general. The supreme court will be com- pesed of W. T. Faircloth, republican, chief justice; D. M. Furches, republican; Robert M. Douglas, republican; W. A. Montgom- ery, populist; Walter Clark, independent democrat. Governor-elect Russell is fifty-one years of age, ard was the son of one of the wealthiest rice planters in this state; Is a native of Onslow county; has served sev- eral terms in the legislature, and was a stperior court judge from 1868 to 1874. In 1 he was elected to Congress. He was at that time a prorounced “‘greenbacker.” He is a man of marked ability in his profes- sicn, the saw, and his home is at Wilming- ten. He is wealthy; he is very portly. The democrats feel the deepest interest m his plans and in those of the legislature. A prominent republican here says all the dem- ceratic officials in the state institutions will be ousted; that there will be a clean sweep. The vote for Palmer and Buckner 1n this state was almost nothing. A few days be- fcre the election the chairman of that party called on its members to vote for McKinley. Nearly all did so, it is sur- mised. In this county 400 democrats did} not vote for Bryan, and it is asserted that. in the state 8,000 did not. The pdpulists and demccrats kept the. terms of their compact to vote for Bryan much better than it was generally ‘be~ lieved they weuld do. It was upon the scratching of the Watson electors by the democrats and of the Sewall electors by the populists that the republicans ‘eonfi- dently counted to carry the state for McKinley. Indeed, they did not abandon this hope until two or three days after the election. Succesu of a W ington Physic!

Fight om Sectarinn Appropriations. At the headquarters of the Supreme Council of the association here it is stated that Mr. Linton’s defeat will not put a stop to the opposition to sectarian appropria- tions. It is said that forty to fifty mem- bers of the next Congress are actual mem- bers of the association, and that a lar majority of these elected are in sympathy with the principles of the order. In regard to sectarian appropriations, the leading members of the order point to the amendment to the appropriation bill which went through both houses this year. ‘This amendment was to the cffect that It was the policy of the governmeni not to make further appropriations, and fixing, July 1, IWS, as the time when such appro- priations should tease. It is not believed that this amendment will be disregarded, although it is admitted that the amend: ment is not binding on any future Con- gress. The A. P. A. leaders declare that they wili stand on guard in the future and fight whatever attempts are made to cure appropriations for sectarian purpose It is said, however, that the A. A. following in the next House will not be as strong as it is in the present. Se A Sous Woman More Honest Than Ma From the Spectator. It has often been noted that women are more honorable in money matters than men, and that it is far less rare to have a small loan paid back by a woman than by aman. This fact again appears to us to be fully explained. by the trustee theory of woman's attitude toward mor Women are not honcster in other things than men, but the notion of money being a trust cverrides and dominates her other con- siderations. The man who borrows ts very apt to forget all about the matter. The woman who borrows feels that a double trust runs with the money and she cannot rest till she has repaid it. No doubt there are here also many exceptions, because there are many bad women. But at least it 1s safe to say that women are far less careless about money matters than men, and therefore less likely to commit the small acts of pecuniary dishonorableness which come from negligence. Take it as a whole women are more careful about money matters than men and attach more importance to money. Hence it happens that they never make great fortunes, sel- dom go bankrupt and generally are rather more scrupulous than men in small pecuni- ary transactions. Sou that this Mr. Linton’s de- is urged tha canes
