WRINLEY CONFERS THE DEGREES Excellent Addresses by Members of the Class and Others. THE DISTINGUISHED GUESTS The ecightieth annual commencement of Georgetown University was held this morning in the Gaston Memorial Hull. The commencement exercises of this university are always well attended, but this year the crowd present was probably larger than ever before, due, in large measure, to the fact that President McKinley was an- nounced to be present. People began flocking to the hall nearly an hour before the time of opening, and by 10 o'clock every available space in the large hall was occupied. The ladies com- prised by far the greater proportion of the audience, and their gay summer gowns and bright-tinted millinery presented a pleas- ing kaleidoscope of colors. Promptly at 10 o'clock the members of the senior department. with their gowns and caps, marched on to the platform, tak- ing seats on the rorth side. Directly after the students came the invited guests of the occasion, who took seats on the south side of the platform. It was just 10:20 o'clock when President McKinley, accompanied by Secretary Por- ter, reached the hall. The bachelor’s ora- tion was in progress. The entire audience Frances S. Delaney, Valedictorian. arose and cheered and clapped, to which President McKinley gracefully The distinguished guests were given a seat of honor on the platform, and the exercises continued. Presi¢ent McKinley was present not only as an honored guest, but to discharge an important function—the bestowal of the honors upon the graduates. His presence Was recognized by frequent bursts of ap- plause at the mention of his name, and upon his appearance, at the graceful intro- duction of President Richards of the uni- versity, to discharge the duty imposed upon him.

Mr. O'Doneghue’s Address. Daniel W. O'Donoghue of the District of Columbia delivered the first addre the bachelor’s oration, on “Islamism, An His torica! Study.” He traced the full history of the Moslems, and in the opening sen- tence stated that in all ages there has ex- on the eastern hem nd the north ever aggres sive; the south ever to tempt the invad north ever having the multitudes empted by them. : The speaker told of the influences that had acted on the Turkish characier and of the to be! i “High Aa beginning of the Mostem religion, ani lien went. on to trace the history 2 new creed, and its extension through the medium of the sword. He spoke of the fall of Damascus and Jeru- salem, the ‘overthrow of ypt and the apture of Alexandria, with the destruct of the treasure of trea rian library, founded delphus and restored “An obstacle to clvili ef the nil enth century, speaker, after tracing the Cleopatra. ation and p ogress * continued the of the histor: » to the present time; “an ob wishing to get into the un; an obstacle to F and and in their pas » to the ed n Obstacle to many and Italy, because of ns to the rest of Europe, there tolerated, aye, even at » scheming and unprin- times upheld, by the scheming and - cipled princes of Europe, who are only waiting the opportunity of accomplishing their selfish Lims and ambitious desires. “Master's Oration.” John K. Broderick, A. B., of St. Lou Mo., followed with the master’s oration. “Little more than two centuries ago,” said he, in the introductory paragraph, “the world believed that it had freed itself from that barbaric deluge which pushed before it the crescent, and left behind it desolation. We cannot but shu recital of atrocities that path of the Ottoman and Saracen, and we are justly fifled with Indignat'on when we hear of Turkey's rev triumph rather we are appalled the pro: Austria, G their relatio fs the Turk toda d at the institution of the early Chr: turies in the east, should be upheld and flourish anew.

The adherents of islam have not only placed themselves beyond the limits of true progress, but are the pro- fessed enemy of Christian enlightcnment.” eaker then made an analysis of and social system of the Otto- e, and stated that the ethical teach!ngs of the Koran, the Mahommedan Bible and constitution are not entirely false, a certain code existing, bearing very much a resemblance to the Ten Command- ments of the Christians. Several essential parts are wanting, and are replaced by promises of alluring pleasures, couched in the graceful and flowery language of the orient. That part of the Koran which was written before the hegira, the speaker stated, is rather consistent with.the dic- tates of reason. The speaker gave an elaborate descrip- tion of the cusioms of the Moslems, and commented on the difficulty to understand how a belief so contradictory, so inhar- monious and so destitute of means, can maintain such a firm and lasting grasp on man. President McKinley Confers Degrees. The conferring of the degress followed the master’s oration, the orchestra play- ing Weber's “Aufforderung Zum Tanz.” ‘The rector of the university, Rev. J. Havens Richards, made the opening address, intro- ducing President McKinley. He spoke of the pleasures and drawbacks of occasions of this sort, but conferring degrees is al- ways an office of f igosers and gratificatton, to both giver and receiver. This morning the office was to be performed with more than ordinary gratification, said he, be-|° cause of the aid of the chief magistrate of the nation, and this elicited long-continuea applause. Dr. Richards svoke of the per- sonal greatness and magnetism of the President, and thanked him for his attend- ance, in view of the immense amount of other public work he has to perform. ‘This statement brought forth additional ap- plause, and when Mr. McKinley stood up to confer the honorary degrees, he was given an, ovation." The President _ and ther Richards stood side by side, while the vice president of the university,, Rev.

He spoke well, was much appreciated ‘The valedictorian lany of Newburg, and his valedictory by the entire audier “A few months ago,” he sald, marched valiantly to an unequal war. She returned conquered, and today she sits on her acropolis, with bowed head and hair dishevelled, and her wail of defeat is heard in the streets and on meadow and moun- tain, a wail like Rachel of old, mourning for her little ones. She was conquered be- cause her limited numbers were unable to cope with the proverbial legions of Turkey. She advanced standard in the hope that other nations might come to her aid, but her hope was unrealized, her attempts were unsuccessful, She evoked the sym- pathy of all civilized peoples, but failed to elicic the support of one.” » specker told of the stories town and the work accomp!i: The valedictorian bade a heartfelt fare- well to the rector and faculty, and a pari “Greece img word was a prayer th:t Providence should give them strengt vo continue in the great work they are pursuing.

Talbot spent Sunday at Widewater, a short dis- tance velow Quantico, and caught about fifty bass. Five of them weighed twelve pounds, and they were brought home. The gentle: named have agreed to put back in the water all bass weighing less than twenty-four ounces. Many of the fish caught weighed about a pound. Spanish mackerel from the Potomac end Chesapeake bay ate considered by fisher- men the finest fish now in market. Those cought in the river, they say, are of much better quality than those caught in the bay. When they pass the mouth of the river the food is uifferent, and ihe meat gets whiter. The fish also get heavier and their general quality 1s much improved. Seven black bas: welghing three pounds each were on the stand of a local tish dealer in the Center market yesterda: They were caught in a net near where Pi hick and Accounk crecks empty into the river, near Mount Vernon. Several years ago five thousand bass were put in each creek. A season of dry weather followed and the fish made their way to the river. There has been good angling there ever since, and most of the fish caught are of large size. if ycu want anything, try an ad. in The Star. If anybody has what you wish, you will get an answer.
