Woodward RECEIVED DEGREES The Graduating Exercises at Catholic University Held Today. AN ADDRESS BY CARDINAL GIBBONS Introductory Remarks by Dr. Conaty, Rector of the Institution. LIST OF THE GRADUATES The graduating exercises at the Catholic University were held today in the hall of the McMahon building. As this was a gala occasion in the calendar of the uni- versity, an American flag floated from the staff at the top of the building, while the hall was appropriately decorated. The space reserved for the general public was well cccupied by the friends and acquain- tances of the students, a large number of ladies being present. The seats imme- ‘diately in front of the platform were oc- cupied by the students, who wore the regu- lation cap and gown, and a number of students ir similar attire were scattered through the hall. On the platform were seated Cardinal Gibbons, the chancellor of the university; Mgr. Martinelli, the delegate from the pope to the Catholic church in this country; Mgr. Sberetti, the auditor of the papal Jegation; the rector of the university, Dr. Conaty; the vice rector, Dr. Garrigan; mem- bers of the faculty, Bishop Hogan of Scran- ton, Pa.; Bishop Curtis of Wilmington, Del.; President Richards of Georgetown University, Mgr. McMahon, Rev. A. L. Magnien, D. D., president of St. Mary’s Seminary, Baltimore, and General Stanley, the governor of the Soldiers’ Home. The professors of the university wore handsome gowns, indicating their official position, and the variety of color as shown in these robes relieved the monotony which is a usual feature of color scheme of the commencement stage of the average edu- cational institution. Dr. Conaty’s Address. The exercises were begun with an intro- ductory address, delivered by Rev. Dr. Conaty, the rector of the university. He said, in part: “This day marks the close of the eighth year of scholastic work in the faculty of theology, and of the second year in the faculties of philosophy and law. The ec- clesiastical and law students who present themselves for degrees have passed exact- ing examinations, which have been the source of great satisfaction to the different faculties. The doctorate, licentiate and mastership have been won by scholarly theses, ably defended by trying public ex- aminations, which gave evidence of care- ful research and attentive study. With more than ordinary pride we present these young men to his eminence, the cardinal, chancellor, that at his hands they may re- ceive the prizes they have so valiantly won. Days like these mark epochs in the university life, for, like an earnest, anxious mother, the university sends forth into the busy, bustling world of intelligent activity champions of truth, whom her iov- ing care has prepared to defend the right and overthrow the wrong, to emphasize right principles and to puncture false theories, and thus help to establish the kingdom of truth in the minds and hearts of men. The Degree Men. “The university men are the degree men, for on them is stamped the character of real scholarship and piety, the twin char- acteristics of true learning, the air and purpose of a university training. By her degree men the university as such js to be judged; for them alone is she as such re- sponsible. On them she depends and through them she looks for works in keep- ing with the education she has freely given. They are, indeed, her jewels, and no Roman Cordelia could have greater pride in her children. Into the ranks of a learned clergy she sends graduates to take an hon- orable place in the front ranks of leadership with the noble ecclesiastics who are winning magnificent victories for faith on all the lines of higher ecclesiastical studies. Into the ranks of a learned and devoted Catholic laity, the university sends well- trained laymen, Christian gentlemen,whose correct lives will be in touch with instincts of intelligent faith, and whose well-trained minds will fit them as leaders in the pro- fession which they are to enter or the avo- cations in life they are to follow. Here they have learned that the groundwork of all iearning is in sound philosophy, which agsures not only correct thinking, but which train men of themselves to sift the wheat from the chaff, to tear the mask from the sophistry parading us truth, to see clearly that there is nothing beautiful but the good and nothing worth possessing But the true, and that all goodness and truth center in God. The scientific train- ing which intellect and heart demand is that which begins and ends with God, whose works are found in nature, and whose knowledge is revealed to us in its perfection in Jesus Christ. Intellectual de- velopment, guided by Christian philosophy, may enter fearlessly into all the domains of science and win its victories; for if God be with us who shall stand against us? Science needs defenders to save it from the anarchy and bankruptcy which threat- en it, in an atmosphere of nature without nature's God. Religion and Science. “Here sacred and profane learning go hand in hand. Religion and science are twin studies. God has joined them to- gether, and no man should divorce them. The illumination from on high brightened every page of the book of nature, and is to the mind what the telescope is to the eye, an aid to greater and broader vision. Science alone talks of nature alone; it is of the earth, earthy. Like Israel, it re- mains at the foot of the mountain, under the cloud; but with religion it carries men beyond himself and nature; for religion, like Moses, penetrates the cloud and goes to the top of Sinai, to be taught by the great God Himself. Virgil leads Dante for awhile, but it is along the paths of earth, and Beatrice who showed him heaven. The Catholic University stands for the highest in science and human letters, as it also stands for the highest in sacred learning, which is, indeed, the key to all knowledge; for the one science of which all else are parts is the science of the knowledge of God. The Catholic Univer- sity enters every field of intellectual en- deavor, that it may harvest the treasures that lie within. As the Jews of old used the gold and treasure of Egypt in the building of the temple of Jerusalem, so should the temple of wisdom be built from pagan and Christian classics, and from the treasure house of all ages. The Christian Catholic student seeks truth, not by the light of their intelligence alone, but aided by the light of the divine intelligence. They are scientists and scholars, who submit their reason to the reason of God, and know that this is not degradation, but true nobility of intelligence. This the thougnt which has leavened the education of these young priests and laymen. Rewards of Labor. “Fortified in this truly Christian ‘spirit, they come to receive the reward of years of labor, that they may go forgh as uni- versity men, with university scholarship, ever remembering that in the great field of battle which awaits them they are to find inspiration from the Deus Lux Mea of their university days. They are commissioned Officers in the army of loyal soldiers of truth; and their lives should“ever be shin- ing examples of the teaching of their good. mother, who, with anxious care, has in- stalled into their minds and hearts the cor- rect principles that can alone save society and themselves. May the white and gold banner of the university, emblem of the illustrious Leo XIII, be ever upborne by them to vietory and renown.” Degrees were conferred on the following: Bachelors in Theology—Rev.

Robinson, dean of the school of law, in a suitable speech and appropriate words of ackncwledgment were said by Lawrence C. Simon J. . Kenealy, Los |. Murray, D.C. L. Cardinal Gibbona’ Counsel. The exercises of the day were brought to @ close by an address by Cardinal Gibbons, who spoke as follows: “Among the many institutions existing In this diocese, there is none that has given me more concern and anxiety than the Catholic University. “From the day of its foundation to the present hour, it has been to me an object of fatherly solicitude. I have rejoiced in its prosperity and have grieved at every vicissitude of adversity through which it has passed. And now, when I contemplate around me 80 many evidences of its healthy growth and progress, my heart is en- larged, end I am filled with Profound grati- tude to Almighty God. “I congratulate you, gentlemen of the lay department, on the merited honors which have been conferred upon you today. The great need of our times is men—sturdy, upright men; men of character; men who have the courage of their convictions. ‘We need men who are guided by con- science rather than by expediency; men that are controlled by principles rather than by popularity; men that walk in the path of duty rather than of self-interest; but men, above all, of Christian faith, and who are ready to profess their faith and live up to its teachings in the face of obloquy and derision. But this force of character requires no small degree of moral ccurage and heroiem. Many a man who wculd run up to the canon’s mouth has quailed before the shafts of sneers and ridicule. I hope, young gentlemen, that you will be always guided by such prin- ciples, and remember that your success in Ife is not to be gauged by the accumula- tion of wealth and hcnors that may be poured upon ycu, but by a faithful attach- ment tc conscience and duty. A Word to the Fathers. “Allow me, reverend fathers, to con- gratulate you also on the dignities bestow- ed upon you today. The success of your ministry will largely depend upon your therough appreciation of the dignity and resporstbility of your.sacred office. How sublime is the message youyhave to com- municate to the people! How far-reaching its applicability, how awe-inspiring is your authority! You will not discuss from your pulpits subjects of a transitory or political nature. unless a moral issue is involved in them. The same decalogue that Moses proclaimed on Mount Sinai t# the decalogue that you will preach to the people. The same prophetic warnings which the prophets, uttered on ,the mountains and valleys of Judea; the ssme gospel of peace which Christ preached upon the mount; the same lessons of morality: that the apos- tles proclaimed throughout the Roman em- pire—thia is the gospel that,you will preach from January to December, , “You will speak of God and His attri- butes; of a God who created all things by His power, who governs all things by His wisdom, whose superintending providence watches ovcr the affairs of this world, from the greatest to the smallest. You will speak only those great eternal truths which have engrossed the attention of philos- ophers in every age. These were indeed problems which they could not solve with- out the light of revelation. “They were always learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth. Another feature of the message, which you will proclaim to the people, is tts universal applicability. There is a vast difference between a political discourse and a sermon of a Catholic priest. “The influence of a political harangue depends on circumstances of time and Place and on the political bias of the hear- ers. The memorable discourse of Mr. Bry- un at the Chicago convention, which was hailed by his audience with shouts of ap- plause and adhesion, was condemned in New York and London as seditious and in- cendiary. But the gospel which you will preach is not affected by circumstances of time or place or person. It has the same intrinsic force in Tokio and Pekin which it possesses in New York or in Paris. It ap- peals as forcibly to the conscience of the Nineteeth century as it did to the con- science of the first century, because the truths which it contains are based upon the eternal and unchangeable law of God. Then reflect how great is your authority. As One Having Authority. “Like your Divine Master, you will speak as one having authority, and not as the scribes and pharisees. But you carry this power and grace in earthen vessels, that the excellence may be of God and not of yourselves. You will stand before the al- tar in God's sanctuary, clothed with gor- geous vestments—pray that these robes may never be soiled or tarnished by your sins and delinquencies—but that the splen- dor of the external ornaments may be the reflection of your private life. The Lord puts into your hands the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God; but this sword will be blunted if it is not sharpened and tempered in the fire of the Holy Ghost. “Pray that you may be clothed with all the panopoly of a Christian warrior, wear- ing the helmet of salvation, having on the breastplate of justice, bearing on your arn the shield of faith, having your loins girt with truth and your. feet shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of peace.” Before dismissing the audience the rec- tor said that he wished to say a word to the one who represented the highest au- thority of the Catholic Church in this coun- try, and referring to the presence of . Martinelli, he went on to speak of the in- terest that the pope had taken in the Cath- olic University, and he trusted that the word would go to the pope that the Cath- olic University sends him a greeting.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.—Advices have just been received. from Honolulu, per steamship Australia, to the effect that Japanese Minister Shimamura has changed his attitude to some extent since last ad- vices from the Hawaiian capital. After the departure of the Peru several conferences were held between Ministers Cooper and Shimamura, with the result that the Japan- ese representative made proposals of a much more reasonable nature than those which he first offered. paseo Charged With Embezzlement. A warrant was issued this afternoon by Justice of the Peace L. C. Strider for the arrest of John W. Patterson, president of the Pecple’s Transportation Company, on a charge of embezzling $1,000. Patterson was taken into custudy by Policeman Bren- nan and detained at the sixth precinst sta- tion, wiile his attorney, Thomas L. Jones, went in quest of a bondsman. It seems that some time ago the People’s Transpertation Company made arrange- ments 1cr the purchase of the steamer Jane Mcesley, and paid a sum of money on the cos: price. Just before the open- ing of the excursion season last year the former owners of the boat, owing to a difference of opinion in regard to additional payments, took steps to prevent the run- ning of the boat. The matter found its way into the civil courts, but was finally compromised by Patterson, who received $1,000 frcm the original owners of the boat. The warrant was issued at the request of John BH. Cooper, a nephew of Mrs. Cooper, the treasurer of the transportation company. Cooper claims that Patterson has failed to account to the company for the $1,000 mentioned, and therefore is guilty of embezzlement. In the Police Court this afternoon, at the most emphatic terms. Cooper, he says, had no connection with the company, and therefore is not in a position to bring such a charge. In the Police Court this afternoon at the request of Attorney Sutherland, and with the consent of Assistant District Attor- ney Mullowney, Patterson was released on his personal bonds until tomorrow morn- ing. Mr. Mullowney stated that he had de- clined to issue a warrant until the charge could be investigated, and intimated that there is probably nothing in the case. . —— Will Filed. The will of the late John A. Scott was filed today. It is dated March 30, 1597, and names George A. Scott, a son, as adminis- trator. Certain personal articles are given George A. and Benjamin McScott, sons, the residue of the estate being given to the testator’s widow, Amelia Jane Scott, for life, provided she remains unmarried. Upon her marriage the real estate is to be sold and the proceeds equally divided between her and the three children, Hannah E. Barnes, Geo. A. and Benj. McScott. At her death, unmarried, the proceeds from a sale of the real estate is to be equally di- vided between the children. ee zZ Petty Thefts. : Mrs. F. C. George, a guest at the Tavis- tock, 3d and G streets, complained to the Police this morning that two gold rings have been stolen from ner room during the last two weeks. Edwin Dulin, 2205 I street, reports the theft of a gold-filled watch and chain from the house during the last ten days. Miss E. C. Wescott complains to the po- ice that a search light lamp was stolen from her wheel at the Western High School. ee Accused of Perjury. A waftant was issued this afternoon from the Police Court for the arrest of Joseph F. Coady, on a charge of perjury. Coady was tried in the Police Court late yester- day afternoon for selling liquor without a license and was acquitted. The prosecuting attorney had reason to be! that Coady testified falsely, he says, and therefore or- Gered the warrant to issue. The case will be heard tomorrow. a One Retired, Another Appointed. The Commissioners have removed R. Emmett Thompson from the position of , and ap- pointed Noble M. Clark to the vacancy. oe Contracts for Shot and Shell. District Health Statistics. The mortality of the District during the pest week was ninety-four. Of the dece- dents forty-two were white and fifty-two colored, the death rate being 11.4 for the white, 30.4 for the colored and 17.4 for the whole population. The principal causes of death were diceases of the circulatory or- gtns (eight deaths), of the kidneys (five deaths) and of the respiratory organs (twenty-one deaths), of which twelve were from consi mption and six from pneumonia. Of the zymotic class there were two fatal cases of diphtheria, three of typhoid fever and one of whooping cough. For diphtheria rine houses were placard- ed, three were released from quarantine and twenty-four remained in isolation. For scarlet fever six houses were placarded, two were released from quarantine and twelve were left with warning cards. The cases of these diseases now in quar- antine are not confined to any one portion of the District, but seem to be generally distributed, and are more numerous than is usual at this period of the year. The weather for the week was mostly cloudy, v-ith a mean temperature of 66 de- grees, a mean relative humidity of 81 and @ mean barometric pressure of 29.86. The rainfall was six-tenths of an inch. The thermemeter rose from 43 degrees on the 2d to 86 degrees on the 4th, ranging 43 de- grees —— Wanted to Sober Up. ‘Thomas H. Milburn, an aged veteran and pensioner, today asked Judge Kimball to give him sixty days in the work house to enable him to get over the effects of a drunk. He was accommodated. Milburn walked into the court room about 8 o’clock this morning and asked Policeman Flynn to take him in charge and have him sent to prison. ——_——— Told a Sad Story. Charles Jones, aged fifteen years, and Thomas Jones, aged twenty-one, brothers, were today before Judge Kimball on the charge of vagrarcy. The boys told a sad story of alleged trouble at home, and Judge Kimball sent for their father to come to court. Upon taking the stand the latter denied all that the boys had said. Judge Kimball decided to place Charles in the care of Agent Parkman of the board of children’s guardians, pending further in- vestigation, and Thomas was released on his personal bonds.
