A CARBON COMBINE, Eiectric Light Companies Enter Into a Combination, New Yonx, June 23.—[Speelal Telezram to the Bre.)—The Times this morning says: “A meeting was held in this city yesterday which Is of direct Importance to all electric light interests. The causes which led toit have been developing for many months. The electric light industry, so far as arc lights are concerned, depends directly upon carbons, ‘The consumption of these carbons by the various companies is at present in the neigh- borhood of 60,000,000 per year. The market has been supplied by two firms In Pittsbure, three or four In Cleveland and two in St Louis. These companies two months ago formed a combination, and the combination took chargeof all the factories. The price of carbons was suddenly and without warning putup from $10 and 812 per 1,000 to $20 and $25. It was known that only one raw mate- rial was of much account in° making electric light carbons, This Is the coke from petro- leum uaptha. The manufacturing, conse- quently, of the petroleum coke pro- duct was acen the key to the gituation. The electrlc light nen ot together and talked the matter over, The Proposition was to take the entire product of coke of the Standard Oil company and man- ufacture carbons for thewselves. "Everybody ‘was found to be in favor of the movement. One company subseribed for 1,000,000 car- bons per month, The others subscribed for from 20,000 to 600,000, ‘T'he subseriptions ‘were all upon the basis of the old rates, the cost of the larger size not to exceed $15 and the smaller in proportion. Then a commit- tee was appointed confer with the Stand- ard Oil company and the conference was held_yesterday. The company’s tigure for 1ts entire coke product, 20,000 tons per year, 'was set at 88 per ton or $160,000 per annum, The electric "light syndicate consider the offer and will accept it as soon as the various parties interested in their syndicate can sig- nify their assent. This will effectually de- stroy the business of the western companies, 1t will cut off their supply of raw matoriai ond leave them no wnr out of thelr dilemma, since, while the electric light carbon syndl- cate will probably use not more than half of the coke product, they will stlll control it -lcl The new carbon factory 18 to be in this eity.

JUNE 2. 1887. HIGH SCROOL COMMENCEMENT It Took Placs at the Boyd Opera House Last Night. ST. CATHERINE'S ACADEMY. Additional Chapters on the Public Educational Institutions — A Lodge of Sorrow—Wanted at Topeka, The High Rchool Commencement, The opera house curtain rose last even- ing upon a high school graduating class of twenty-nine young ladies and gentle- men. It wasthe largest class which has, under similar circumstances, ever nssem- bled in Omaha. In appearance it was certainly not inferior to any that has ap- peared in recent years, and it may well be doubted if in intellectual strength and varied accomplishments it may not favor- ably be compared with any of those which have gone before it. Nine of the members were young gentlemen, the re- mainder young ladies, the names being as follows: John Ahlquist, Mabel Bal- combe, lowa Ball, Nellie Banserman, Amelia Biumoe, Harry L. Bowner, J. W. Broach, Belle L, Cox, Anugustus K. Det- wiler, Rose Donahue, Emily Dorn, Enoch J. Ellison, Jeannette B. Gibbs, Clara Gritfin, I. Harris, Carrie House, Bertha Leisenring, Mary Eudington, Anna N. McCague, Nells Moyer, Ben Nelson, M. Alta Peacock, Victor S. Rosewater, Sadie Schlesinger, Lou Shropshire, Leonard C. Strang, vena Welle, Etta Whitney and Minnic Woodman, From this list Sadie Schlesinger alone was absent through illness. The stage was set with the beantiful palace arch, backed with the conserva- tory. It was a peculiarly aporopriate setting, the members of the class appear- ing to excellent advantage. The young ladies were attired in mushn, lace, silk and satin, and in the traditional white each looking like the veritable angel the average female graduate is supposed to be on the night she leaves her books he- hind her, In the midst of these beruflled and bewitching creatures, the nine young gentlemen sat, the envied of every youth in the auditorium. Miss Iowa Ball was the first essayist, her subject being “Charles and Mary Lamb as brother and sister.’” This essay displayed a deep appreciation of the genial writer, the ccho of whose laughter, or rather that which he created, still rings in many hearts. It told of the early life of the two, the mutual love which existed between them, their long walks, their visit to the grave yard, the condition of the parents in their old age and of the dreadful tragedy which made the sister a matricide. This was followed by a reference to his later life, and the lavish enconiums which great men had passed upon him, notably that of Words- worth who said that Lamb “‘was good if @'er a good man lived.” This essay is chiefly remarkable for its warmth of admiration and the christian feeling which actuated both brother and sister, and an apprectation of the literar work ot the poet. It was appreciated, and the following little maid, Ida Newman, Emma Moor, Edna Robinson, Ada Waugh, Ella Breckenridge and May Maynard, deposited flowers in protusion at the feat of the essayist. Augustus K. Detweiler discoursed upon the “Genus Homo.” Starting out with the assertion that every endeavor to comprehend the animal kingdom from a scientiic point of view makes modern geology the basis of its conclusions, he beld that scientific study must accept the phenomenon of adaptability; that the versatility of the organs of plants meets the vurianill&y of their extornal circum- stances and sccommodates them to changes that are always taking place. He then briefly traced from the era in which was the simplest expression of human life—that of the protozoan, then the vertebrate type which swarmed the seas— he held it was not impossible that cven man mn{l have abpeared here, surviving all the changes which had taken place since the Mesozoic era. When the earth was ready for man, the latter appeared upon the scene, and just as man now guides the development of animal and vegetable forms, so from the highest brute forms, guided by a Superior Inteili- gence, man himself has developed in a definite direction and for a special pur- 0se. He then traced man's progress rom a crude state, and detailed the soul’s outward expression in works of art and bv the study of these works for both use and beauty. For the an- imal, evolution was perhaps complete, but for the wan, it has yet much to ac- complish. He closed "a refereace to man’s aspirations to place himself in harmony with his envirenments, and by mnkmf roason and the will of God to prevail, becoming himself the arbiter of his own dmivay. Man harmonized with nature, with God, the human became di- vine and the cycle was complete. As may be inferred, the subject was a heavy one, It was well treated by the young gentleman, whose delivery was inclined to the forcible and effectiverather than of the ornate style. Ven Wells recited ‘‘Jimmy Brown's Santa Claus” ip 2 manner which enter- tained the audience. « Nella Moyer played ‘Lo Gazelle"” as a piano solo quite accaptably and was lib- erally rewarded with flowers, Carrie E. Howell essayed ‘A Study of Ralph Waldo Emerson.” ‘This was a fervid eulogy of the celebrated divine. It detailed his enr:’y life, his poverty, strug- les, studies, ordination, and the sympa- thetic and magnetic influences which he created by his renchlng. He was not an inutator of Carlisle, but a leader in many ways. He exerted an_influence most potent and grateful. He was a a loyal American and a thorough New Euglander, and as patriotic a citizen as ever hived. The delivery was rapid, but the compo- sition was very good. Victor Rosewater essayed on ‘‘Recent Explorations.” There was a force in- herent in man which urges him on to discover new things. Theimpulses which spurred the Phenecian explorers now in- cites those of our times. 'The rewards to be put forward to induce men to endure the hardships of discovery were commer- cial advantages, gains to science, glory and renown, At the beginning of the century few parts of the earth remained unexpiored. Nothing was left but the dark African continent, in the south, and the 1cy Arctic land in the north--one clothed in luxuriant vegetation, the latter half devoid of life or means of subsist- ence. Worthy was the commander who hazarded his life in such realms. The name of Stanley would always be con- nected with the foundation of the Congo Free State, and Greely and Lockwood would be remembered a8 having iu agreat way cleared the route to the north pole. The immense wealth of the Congo basin was being opened to the world. Human beings have actually trodden within six degrees of the north pole, The profits of these euterprises are distributed to all craons. Was it not an honor to our na- ion that it hus aided in those undertak- ingst ‘Lbe fumo of those discoverers is ours, aud the adventurous spirits of fu ture times should remewber that the re- nown of those has been obtained only by great lavor, illustrating ‘*Heights charm us; the paths which lead to them do not.” 'he delivery was carnest, munly and graceful, and was wagmly appreciated. Miss Sadie Schlesinger's absence crused her roeitation to he passed. Mary Ludington read an imterasting and moral dedactio esssy on ‘" Hol; Grail,"" She characterized ‘the middle ages as tho wonderland which divides the ancient civilization from the modern, that long, dark interval whose sile and mysterious gloom are only sucl herald the coming of the dawn, S then spoke of those of that period who set out in quest of the Holy Grail, at the same time repeating the legend of the cup, which was supposed W have been that used by the Savior at the last supper. One of the modern ideas of the signiti- cance of the quest of the grail 18 that 1t 18 the search after truth. To fina this it was not required to go, like the knights of old, on a perilons quest, nor to immure ourselves in convents, for the grail is within our homes, within our every-day 1i he delivery of Miss Ludington was really excellent, and the piece evoked a hearty applau Miss Amelia Blumve delivered an e on our *Black Familiars.” It was a mid- winter reverie, and in its quiet, modest way a gem of description of the appear- ance, habits and aspirations of the crow family. A concert recitation followed. in which the following young ' ladies took part: Misses Ball, Blumye,Cox, Donahoe, Dorn, Gibbs, Griflin, Howell, Leisenvirg, Shropshire, Wells, Whitney and Wood- man. This was a medley, nicely contrived and very acceptably rendered. « The class wss under the” direction of Miss Decie Johnston as were indeed, all the speakers of the evening, in whom greater individual excellence was noticed than in any similar previous class, Mabel Balcombe delivered an ess upon the “Italian Influence on Engl Poetry.”” It was a flowery consideration of a poetic idea, the warmth of which seemed to have been received from the sume influence which she elaimed bright- ened, colored and vivitied not only the writers in England from Chancer to Dry- den, but even created a halo which still d ich lines of Byron and others of cven more recent date. Toward the close, Miss Balcombe's de- livery was in keeping with the nature of her subject. She retained the attention of her audience, but a faulty intonation at the close rather destroyed the charm of her earlier work. Miss Anna McCague played *‘Boute-en- Taine” as a pano solo, and was liberally applauded. iss Nina Bauserman recited “Old Margaret” with a great deal of success. J. W. Bronch orated on ‘‘The Amer- ican Army." The peace of America has been unbroken by the excitement of a reat war. Our means of defense iave been neglected, our mili- stations have ~ fallen iuto a nation once mighty in war has almost forgotten the glorious traditions of former prowess. He spoke about the danger to bo apprehended from such u state of affuirs, and said that it bad been suggested that Britain might upset the acts of 1812 and 18{7. The bloody battles in the strects of Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chieago and other cities warn us that at our firesides lurk the ele- ments of danger to the republic, It would be madness to oppose raw militia aganst trained soldiers. The regular army had been d sed ina shameful manner. Now was the timeto honor that arm which in time would rank with the legions of Rome, the bat- tallions of Napoleon and the phalanxes of Sparta. Mr. Brouch has a good voice. spoke without affec few gestures. Carrie House played the piano solo, Lau Danse de Fies,” with much appre- ciation, ““The History of Chemistry as Told by the Elcmental Genii,”” was the subject of Emily Dorn’s essay. 1In it she per- sonified the elements, and told of the an- noyance they experienced when they found man was encroaching upon them, the cloud of mystery in which they envel- oped themselves, and finally how each one of them in turn was led from his native seclusion & slave at the car of hu- man civilization. The idea was happily conceived, consistently carried out, and the effort was deliverod with the interest of a lady devoted to the chemical analysis of the nfimm to whom she had given cor- poral habitation and a name. The effort was a pronounced success. The graduates were then given their diplomas, resident Points made a few remarks and the audience retired. Prof. Franko's orchestra rendered sev- eral fine selections during the evening, He ation and made but a 8t. Catherine's Academy. The commencement exercises and tenth annual distribution of prizes took place yesterday afternoon, at St. Catherine's academy, on Eighteenth street. This school is exclusively under the charge of the Sisters of Mercy, and 18 conductad by Sister Mary Bechmans as principal, and eight teachers. Very Rev. Father Shaffel presided in the absence of the bishop, who was unable to attend. A large number of reverend gentlemen were present, Previous to the distribution of prizes a programme consisting of vocal and instrumental music and salutatory addresses of welcome was executed in an admirable manner by the young ladies of the academy. Whilst the several per- formances evidenced s high-order of tal- en t, the Marche Brilliante piano duet, by Misses E. Creighton and M. Perkins, was especially worthy of mention, The salu- tatory addresses to the bishop and clergy, read by Miss M. McGavock, was delivered in a most effective manner. In one of the rooms an exhibition of fancy work. consisting of embroidery and crocheting. work, was tastefully displayed, and a goodly number of water color vninuufis‘ and crayon drawings décorated tiie wal All these bore testimony to the skill of the pupils, as we'l as to the efficiency of the teachers. The church veslments, worked by Misses Nellio Murphy and Anna Wasserman, were beautiful speci- mens of needlework, and the paintings by Misses Clara Van Camp, Cldra Creighton and Maggie Jerkins wore artistically executed.

The Pac School. The Pacific school is one of the oldest school buildings in the city. Beginning with a emall struciure, it has from time to time been added to until at present it is quite a formidable looking building. Notwithstandiug these additions it is still inadequate for the growing district in which it 1s situated, and it has been found necessary to rent three rooms in the vicinity to provide for the defect. The school has the disadvantage of being located on a very low site and from a sanitary point of view the situation is anything but a healthy one. ‘There has been some talk recently of sell- ing the property and building on a igher site, but no definite action has yet been tuken in the matter. Miss Margaret Me- Carthy is the principal of the school. During the year 693 scholars have been enrolled and 48) are in attendance, whilst ge attendance ha scholastic work is conduct teachers and all wes tions when the BEE reporter called.

The best pupls are Minnie Jorgensen, £ddie Doll, Frank Potter, Mary Anderson and Clyde Lun- blad. One pupil, Leon Lohnes, has been perfect in attendance during the year. Miss Mary Goodman's classes are those of fourth A" and fourth B. There are forty-six children in attendance, most of whom are apt and intelligent pupils. The leaders are George Darnell, Emma Polson, Bert Emerson, Ella Bourne and Amanda Lundberg. Delia Lozier and George Darnell have shown their aptitude for study by compressing the work ot two termsinto one. Two pu- pils, Delia Lozier and Anna Quick, are reported perfect in attendance. 'he third B classis taught by Miss Alice Harmon, who has thirty-cight children under her care. The brightest of these are Joel Stebbins, Ella Brown, Lizzie McGovern, Leo Lowry and Jennie Gardipee.

Walter Chamberlain, too, is a pupil whose record is worthy of men- tion; he has not been absent during the *anr. and has made an extraclass. Miss csste Lazear teaehes the first C class. There are thirty children, of whom Nels Nelson and Martha Homelius were men- tioned as particularly diligent. The first B and C1s a class of fifty-five little ones, presided over by Miss Fannie Nevins, who 1s assistant princi&ml of the school. The best pupils are Netlie Allen, Caroline Glasser and George George<on. Miss Katie Powers is the teacher of the first A, in which there are fifty-five schol- ars.

Th¥ basement is not in- cluded. In the hxuag&;acu there are now two classes. Forme there were four, Two of them, now tgyght by Miss Brown and Miss Johnston,gre located in a frame building adjoining# A part of the latter structure originallysorved in connecti with old Browneldi hall. It fell into disuse when that in3t#¥ution bloomed into an edilice of strength and beauty on Tenth street hill, and was purchased by the board of edueationr, moved to i present site, an addition built to it, and was then occupied by the classes men- tioned. They had been sought in their subterranean retreat by the dampness of the earth and the rain storm, and com- pelled to take flight to preserve the health, As a consequence of this hegira, before other quarters could be provided for them, an interregnum took place in which the children lost three weeks' of school. ‘The basement rooms now in use, itis claimed are not so objectianabie as were the others, but are sufliciently dis- agreeable to create a desire on the part of the I:rinclpuln and others, to have them related to their aru:mni uges as ||1'I}‘vi is the teacher ng ground for the rats, | { Crawford and Lame J. Wood, informed the visitor, enrolled 003 scholars this year. The attendance at present is about 500, while the average attendance during the year has been about 530, Miss Wood says that the at- tendance this year, is noticeable for the number of native Omahans and Nebras- kans. In proof of this she referred to o long list of names which substantiated what she had said There are twelve teachers in *the two buildings referred to. Miss Greenlee has charge of the seventh A and B with forty-two children. The lead- ing members of this cluss are Elmer Carl son, Julia Davis, Loms Fr ke, Her- ber Morse, Charles I'rank and George Seligso I'he classes of the sixth and seventh A tanght by Miss M. R. Lucas consists of thirty-eight boys and gi though, in the winter they numbercd ubout forty-five. They have done the work of two classesin the time ordinarily assigned to one. This class is specially commended for the excellence in r 'ul!nf of alarge number of its members, The most prominent scholars are Eva Burns, Ada Stone, ) Levi, Charles Crombie and Henry Miss . Remington's classes ¢ those of tifth B and sixth A, which have an average attendance of about forty- seven. In the estimation of the teacher, nearly all of the scholars rank o well “and have done excellent throughout. In proof of this she referre to the fact that they had made three classes instead of two during the year. The leaders designated were: Lyman Chaffee, Emma Valien, Ella Savage, Edith Schwartz, Ired Knickerbocker, May Lawrence, Marion Schibsby, Fannie Davenport, In fifth B, Stella Huestis and Edna Donahoe. Miss L, Washbura teaches the fifth class during the absence of Miss Solomon, who is now sick. There are forty-two children in attendance, among whom the most distinguished are y FPenfold, William Manchester, Ida Rhoades, Grace bins, Mrs. Florence Reed has in third A class thirty-six children, This number 18 much than the attendance during the win- . having been reduced by a number of het able-bodied scholars’ “going to work."" The ‘ers are Marie Kennedy, Frank Teola, Jennic Hempel, K| Behm and Edith Burns Miss Abbie C. Leighton is in charge of the fourth A elass, which now consists of forty-six members. It formerly com prised about sixty names, though many have since been transferred to other schools. Miss Leighton’s opimon of her cherubs, even if not of the most modest degree, seems; certainly not unmerited by them, Several of them have not been bsent from eclass dauring the 5 and all of them present an mviting and intelligent appearance. The leaders are Davia Wh .
