Dr. Whitman. “We are here to give and to receive con- gratulations,” began Dr. Whitman, after the applause which greeted him had sub- sided. “In this case the congratulations are well deserved. At this moment, the first great crisis of the lives of these young people, I want to ask them to think of the attitude they shall take toward life, for ‘as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.’ “There are two points to be observed: RECEIVED DIPLOMAS Fourteenth Annual Commencement, Washington High School.

He urged the grad- uates to start out on the path of life bravely, and follow the motto of Luther— “Here stand I; I can do no otherwise, God help me.” Dr. Whitman said that life is full of no- bility and pathos. He told the young peo- ple to keep pushing on, bearing in mind, however, the cost of progress. meet with many obstacles. he said, and among these the crank and the man who is inconsistent. Then the extremist was not to be overlooked. To the latter class belongs the man who is deeply concerned in the coinage question. Such a man would not speak to his old father when the lat- ter celebrated the anniversary of his gold- en wedding. In conclusion, Dr. Whitman urged the graduates to be careful to discern the line of development, and in that connection quoted from Wesle; ‘Next to my Bible, I love common sense."’ The conservative in- dividual and the man who turns back were described, and then Dr. Whitman bade the graduates “God speed.” His address was loudly applauded.

From its doers have gone forth some of our most eminent and Cistinguished citizens. The graduates num- ber about 3,000, and they include members of the bar, physicians, journalists and men and wemen occupying many prominent po- sitions in the business life. Those who graduate tonight deserve our congratula- tion. I congratulate them after their four years of hard work, «nd I congratulate their parents and relatives.” Continuing, Mr. Ross stated that during the past year 43,640 pupils attended the public schools of Washington, and they were under the care of 1,071 teachers, the majority of the latter being graduates of the High School, and later of the Normal School—“our own people and friends,” as Mr. Ross expressed it. President Ross next referred to the lMb- erality of Congress in dealing with the pub- lic schools of the District. During the past year, he said, nine new buildings had been erected, and during the coming fiscal year four new elght-room buildings are to be added. “I mention this because I want the peo- ple of the District to take an interest in school matters,” Commissioner Ross ex- eres “It is by concerted action only hat desired results are obtained. I also want to call attention to the manual train- ing feature of our public schools, 1d to say that we need a high manual nin) building, one for white and one for colored Pupils. We must unite at the next session of Congress in requesting an appropriation for these manual training buildings: Task your earnest co-operation to this end. Pays a Compliment. “There never came to my attention,” the Commissioner went on to say, “a class of children of the public schools so orderly as are those in this District. We never hear of a case of corporeal punishment here. The population of the District of Columbia is unique. As Commissioners we have to deal with great and varied problems, but of all interests committed to our charge the public school interest is paramount. “Finally, I congratulate the officers of Bessie Davis Schreiner, Clara Louise Smith, Alice Wilkinson Stearns, Clara Katherine Stutz, Pearl Edna Thonssen, Anne B. ‘Townsend, Alys Theoda Tucker, Edna Ren- nard Voss, Lulu Beatrice Warner, Elizaveth McCalmont Wilson, Annie Eugenia Wing- field and Katie J.

Want the Fountain Back. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: At last Iowa Circle, one of the prettiest of all the verdant spots that grace the city, has been taken by the enemy. It has been robbed of its freshness and gleam. The fountain that played so joyously at its cen- ter has been ruthlessly torn down, and an- other of those hideous statues is to go up in Its place. “O Zeus!” we cry, “deliver us from such rule as this! Why are we made to suffer under the tyranny of these mon- sters?” We are sick and tired of statues. They loom up in every direction. Many of us have them at our very doors. Monsters everywhere. Glaring at us from their sev- eral mounds as if foreboding evil all the while, for such ungracious shapes surely cannot harbor any good thing. And we around this circle, who thought our posi- tion impregnable, have seen the precious place we guarded seized by ruffan hands and plundered. And why?—we have been betrayed. The enemy has been led into our camp. ‘The iron conqueror comes with bold and sullen mien to look our sorrow iu the eyes, and we must bow our heads in silence. Our fountain has been stolen away. The fountain, with its glint and sparkle, singing to the flowers. It told us of the wildwood, with its running brooks and scented air. It called the birds from their flights in the high dome of the sky, and little children gathered round, dancing in time to the silver ri of the waters. We have loitered there ofttimes to breathe the fragrance that seemed wafted from some dear old spot, where we were wont to roam in days gone by. Oh, give us back the fountain, and take the brazen image to Arlington, among the gravestones, where it belongs.

The resolutions set fcrth that the mem- bers of the bar of the District of Columbia have heard with profcund sorrow cf the sudden and untimely death, on the 23d of June, instant, of their beloved friend and brother lawyer, Richard Smith; that in the @eath of their dear friend and brother the bar of the District of Columbia has lost a faithful and honored associate, and the citizens a valuable and useful member of the community, who, by his rare personal and genial qualities as a man, his lovable disposition, his frank and generous nature, which impelled him always to give his time, his services and his means in ad- vancing the happiness of his friends, and in assisting the less fortunate of his fellow beings, has left behind him a memory that will live and be cherished during the lives of all who knew him. It was also directed that the chairman of the meeting convey to the afflicted fam- ily of the deceased a copy of the resolu- tions, with the expression of profound sympathy. Also, that the chairman of the meeting present the resolutions to the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia and the Court of Appeals, with the request that they be entered upon the minutes of the court. Remarks by Members, In presenting the resolutions and moving their adopuion, Mr. Wilson referred to Mr. Smith as one of the most genial, big-heart- ed men he ever knew, one who devoted his life to promote the happiness of others. Col. Enoch Totten spoke of Mr. Smith as a most lovable man, as one who never ut- tered an unkind word about another being, and as one to whom little children, the keer est, best judges of human nature, gave unbounded love. Mr. R. Ross Perry said that in the death of Mr. Smith, whom he had known from boyhood, not only the bar had lost a dear friend and lovable companion, but the com- munity an honored and valued member. He was a man who will live not in “dull cold marble,” but in the hearts and aff ticns of all who knew him, for his watch- word throughout life was “Love thyself least.” The resolutions were unanimously adopt- ed. It was generally agreed that the bar will attend Mr. Smith’s funeral, at 4:30 this afternoon, from his late residence, 1727 H street. Among those present were Justices Prad- ley and McComas of the District Supreme Court, Messrs. Jere M. Wilson, R. Ross Perry, Enoch Totten, W. A. Gordon, Wm. Stone Abert, W. M. Lewin, J. H.

In a fight last night between circus men near the corner of North Capitol and O streets, Harry McDonough was cut with a knife, sustaining a severe cut on the shoul- der. Harry Schultz, a white man about forty years of age, was accused of striking the blow and he was placed under arrest by Policeman Hendricks.

Thoma: alias John Dulaney, a young colored mai was convicted in Criminal Court No. 2 yes- terday afternoon of breaking into the store of Jacob Shappirio several weeks ago and robbing it of four watches, a satchel and some clothing. When asked what he had to say the pris- oner told the court that he was not guilty, and that he purchased the stolen articles from a man named Johnson, whom he had never met before or since, for $2. ‘That yarn has been told by every thief, I sup- pose,” remarked Judge Bradley, “ever since courts were organized, and yet you want the court to believe it. There is no doubt in my mind that you broke into this place and robbed it, and I am going to give you a sentence that will teach you and other criminals of your kind a lesson. The sentence of the law is that you be confined in the New Jersey state prison at hard labor for the period of five years.” SS Held Its Final Meeting. The A. T. Z. Club of Mt.
