SENATOR MITCHELL'S ADDRESS Those Who Received Degrees and Who Won Prizes. A DISTINGUISHED AUDIENCE SaaS The National Theater never presented a more beautiful spectacle than it did last evening on the occasion of the seventy- sixth annual commencement of the Colum- bian College and the thirteenth annual commencement of the Corcoran Scientific School. The auditorium was gay and bright with flags, foliage and flowers and was crowded with a distinguished assem- blage of the youth, beauty and brains of the national cxpital. Lavish were the dec- erations and floral offerings and most ar- tistic was their arrangement. The stage was a perfect floral bower. Cut flowers in various devices were banked high along the fcotlights, and they were set off along the wings and in the background by a profu- sion of tropical and other plants of heavy foliage. An immense American flag occu- pied the place of honor at the apex of the proscenium arch and just below hung a large floral shield, made of blue and orange vers, with the letters and figures “‘C, L., prominently dispiayed in white flow- The college colors—blue and orange-- ers. AS| were the predominating decoration of the box fronts and the balconies, and the na- tional colors were displayed at every point of vantage. A Large and Distinguished Audience. If the attendance is a safe criterion, the Columbian University is unquestionably one of the most popular educational insti- tutions in the District. The theater was packed from pit to dome and the elegant toilets of the ladies added greatly to the beauty of the scene. The members of the Chinese embassy occupied one of the boxes: an his suite occupied another. A male college faternity—Theta Delta Chi—filled one of the upper boxes, and a female college so- ciety—Pi Beta Phi—had possession of the one on the opposite side of the stage. The male society made itself conspicuous by frequent repetitions of the college yell, in the rendition of Which they were aided by the students scattered throughout the au Gience. This “yell” had a melancholy horn accompaniment which was particularly ef- fective and was used in greeting and ap- plauding the speakers, the popular members of the faculty and the students who took part in the exercises. All the members of the faculty and the candidates for degrees and the prize stu- dents, male and female, were attired in the university garb of cap and gown, and made quite a picturesque appearance as they marched upon the stage in the sol- emn dignity of their collegiate honor. Among those occupying seats on the stage, in addition to the officers of the evening and the faculty, were Rev. Dr. Shaneelle and Rev. Dr. Brucker of George- town University; Brothers Fabrician and Felix of St. John's College; Prof. A. G. Wilkinson, Prof. H. Schoenfeld, Prof. H. L. Hodgkins, Prof. ©. Swister, Dr. C. W. Richardson, Mr. C. W. Needham, Mr. Jesse &. Wilson, Mr. Jas. Fitch, Mr. B. T. Janney, Prof. Henry King, Rev. Dr. Dgmer, Prof. Sidwell, Dr. E. de Schweinitz, Prof. A. F. Craven, Prof. CRveland Abbe, Dr. L. O. Howard, Dr. Chatard, Dr. Frank Sewall, Mr. J. O. Wil- son, Rev. W. S. O. Thom: Prof. A. J. Prof. J. H. Gore, Prof. L. D. Hvntingten, Loe e ize, Rev. Dr. J. McB. Sterrett, Prof. 8. Pollard, Prof. M. 3 , Prof. A. Wilber. P: on, Major J. W. Poweil, F s The crder of exercises was most inter- esting. While the audience was assem- bling Haley's excellent concert band play- ed Tittle’s ¢ re, “King’s Lieutenants,” and Thatcher lark’s dedicatory march, “The Columbian Univers!ty | March." Equally «ppropriate airs interspersed the regular exercises. P Rev. Dr. Ch . Stdkely made the opening prayer, and Mr. William Frederick Bile ve an eloquent salutatory, after ator John L. Mitchell of Wis- consin made an address to the graduates. Senator Mitchell's Address. In opening Senator Mitchell said ne pro- posed to address himself particularly to the graduates, and he hoped the audience would bear with him on that account. He greeted them as heroes and heroines, and impressed upon them the great responsi- bilities of the life's struggle upon which y were about to enter. He would not tell them the old story about the profes- sions being overstocked; nor would he tell there was plenty of room et the top, although that might be the case, he had never been there and consequently he didn't know whether it was true or not. He reminded them that while learning sometimes lifted a person up on the wav's of theory, it generally landed him on the terra firma of common sense. In the past they had been dealing with the stored-up thought of manhood. In the future they would have to deal with man hiinself, and they would find it a different condition. They wouid learn much from contact with men of the world and By communion with nature. Travel was an excellent educator. There was beautiful scenery in this grand country, he said, and it had some interest- ing ruins, like the Chicago post office, for instance, but such travel was not. suffi- cient. They should go abroad and study mankind and nature among the older na- tions of the earth. It would broalen their vision and liberalize their ideas, and at the same time make them love their own country and its institutions all the more. Senator Mitchell said that, while he was an American by birth and ‘Scotch by an- cestry, he had passed his student days (during which time he rarely studied) tp Switzerland, the land of lakes, mountains an@ cuckoo clocks. The Swiss had taken @ post-graduate course in Mbercy and patriotism, and had given them as a heritage to the world at large. The iand was idealized in song and story, and was one of the most beautiful places on earth. Hie gave a history of the Swiss republic, deseribing its government, scenery and in- stitutions in eloquent terms, and drew from the history of that country an in- spiring lesson for the graduates. In clos- ing he said that, while confinement in the class room tended to dry up their minds, | they would find that travel and contact with their fellow men would brighten and broaden their minds. This address was followed by the pre- sentation of prizes, Prof. A. P. Montague acting for the college and Prof. C. E. Mun- roe for the scientific school. The degrees were presented by Dr. Whitman, president of the university, and an exceedingly clever valedictory was delivered by Mr. Edmund Kemper Broadus. The exercises closed with the rendition of Haley's “The Ameri- can Beauty,” by Haley's Band. The Prize Winners. The prizes were distributed as follows: The college—Elton prize in Greek, Mary Isabel Kelly; Staughton prize in Latin, Mary isabel Kelly; Ruggles prize in math- ematics, Clara Mary Upton; the James Macbride Sterrett, jr., prize in physics, given by the class of '96, Anna Campbell Kelton; the first Davis prize in elocution, Charles Kilbourne Robinson; the second.

Brilliant Entertainment at Which the Elite of London Were Present. William Waldorf Astor gave his second reception at his home in Carlton House Terrace last eveaing. It was preceded by a dinner party, at which forty guests were present, including Prince Alexander of Teck, Ambassador Hay, Mrs. Hay and Miss Hay. The mausion, which even before it be- came Mr. Astor’s residence was counted amoug the most elegant private mansions in England, has been entirely renovated. The rooms have been exquisitely paneled and enriched with fine carving. The grand Staircase has been lavishly gilded and adorned with beautiful frescoes. The din- ing room is a remarkable specimen of the decorator’s art, and is hung with magniti- cent tapestries. The table is over forty feet long, prob- ably the largest in the country. The table decorations last evening were massive sil- ver candelabra, while yellow and white orchids and silver bowls containing fruit and champagne In ice were arranged along its entire length. The reception was one of the most bril- lant given in London in recent year: Among those present were the Grand » and Grand Duchess Michael of Rus- sia, Earl Cadogan, the lord licutenant of Ireland and a host of English dukes, earls and counts, with their duchesses and coun- tesses, Lord Mayor Faudel Phillips and the lady mayore: and scores of members of the diplomatic corps. Among the striking toilets were those worn by the Countess of Essex, Lady Wil- Mam Vernon Harcourt, Mrs. Ronalds, Mrs. Bradley Martin and Leiter. The display of jewels was simply prodi- gal and the house was a mass of flowers. M. Paderewski, Madame Melba, Pol Plan- con and other famous artists assisted in the musical program. G. CLARK DEAD. The Famous Telescope Lens Manu- facturer Dies at Hix Home in Cam- bridge. Prof. Alvan G. Clark, the famous tele- scope lens manufacturer, died at his home, Cambridge, Mass., yesterday, as the result of a stroke of apopiexy. His latest finished work, the mammoth lenses for the Yerkes telescope, was shipped to Chicagi a short time ago. ALVAN Alvan G. Clark was born in Fall River, July 10, 1832. After a grammar school ed- ucation he became associated with his father, Alvan Clark, in the firm of Alvan Clark & Sons. The elder Clark was the first American to make large achromatic lenses. As a member of the firm the son successfully completed many famous le , among which are the Chicago re- fractor, the 26-inch lens im the Naval Ob- servatory at Washington, and the 30-inch refractor for the Imperial Observatory at St. Petersburg, for which the honorary medal of Kussia was awarded, the only one ever conferred on an American. During 1886 the inch refractor, then the largest in the world, was made for the Lick Ob- servatory. The lens for the Yerkes tele- scope is the largest in the world. Mr. Clark accompanied the total eclipse expedition to Spain in 1870, and also the expedition to Wyoming in 1878. As an ob- server he discovered fourteen intricate double stars, including the companion to Sirius, for which the Lelande gold medal was awarded to him by the French Acad- emy of Sciences in 186 —_———+e-_______ TRAIN BLOWN UP. Insurgents Use Dynamite on a Rail- rond Train in Cuba, The passenger train which leaves Ha- vana for Matanzas daily at 6 a.m. was dynamited yesterday morning about twelve miles from the city by a party of insur- gents. According to the official account the object was plunder, as about $6,000 was in the express car. The officials had ordered the passenger train to go ahead, and a pilot engine to follow. At a bend in the line a terrible ex- posion completely wrecked the passenger engine, which fell into a pit twenty-nine feet below, dragging three third-class cabs after it. At the same moment another ter- rific explosion wrecked the pilot engine, which came to the rescue, and it fell into the pit also. Both engineers, one fireman, one conduc- ter and seven soldiers were killed and three passengers were severely injured, while thirty-two suffered more or less serious bruises. Sim@ltaneously with the explosion the insurgents opened fire on the train, seriously wounding a captain, The two trains were dynamited with electric machines and bombs placed on a culvert at the curve. The body of an in- surgent was found lying near the wire communicating with the bombs. It is su] posed that he was killed by the shock. The military escort of the train quickly recovered and opened fire upon the insur- gents, who had advanced toward the cars, and drove them off. : —_——-o-____ It matters little what it is that you want whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The pets reach the ITHE CENTRALS WON Annual Interscholastic Field Day of the District, FORMER RECORDS WERE BROKEN Track Heavy and Time in Wheel- ing Events Was Slow.

Je10-tt SOME SUMMER RESORTS Where Washingtonians May Go to Spend the Heated Term. Pointers for Those Who Have Not Yet Made Up Their Minds as to Their Vacation. It looks as if warm weather was coming now, and, though the summer temperature is a little behind schedule time, when the thermometer does begin to rise it is ex- pected to go up with a rush. Then there will be a scramble to get away from the heat of the concrete pavements and the stifling atmosphere of the elty to the cool breezes of the seashore or mountains. Where Washingtonians may go is told In the following paragraphs: ‘The many people who visit White Sulphur Springs, at Doubling Gap, Pa., pronounce it an ideal health and pleasure resort.
