Bighty-eight of the bright youth of Omaha sat beneath the star of hope on the stage of Boyd's opera house last evening. It was the | annual High school commencement. A small army of young men and women stepped upon the battlefield of life, with Wiplomas as weapons and school days as a mental ever- green of the past. The usual garb of white lost none of its time-honored popularity among the “sweet girl graduates,” while slender young men who sat by their looked manly in conventional black. The air thick with the fragrance of flowers. Roses were visible everywhere. They nestled in Psyche knots on the fair ones and { held down the thump.ng hearts of the bash- tul young men who faced the biggest audi ence of the season. The background of the was a woodland scene, while hanging from the top center of the stage files was a huge floral display bearing the figures ‘‘1895. Prof. Homer Lewis sat on the stage near the wings. Near him sat President Akin ot the Board of Education, Superintendent A P. Marble and Jonathan Edwards. BDehind the scenes were a number of mothers and sters, who attended to the preliminaries and accompanied their sons and daughters to the very threshold of their triumph. It was a comparatively warm night, but that made no material difference to the rushing, jostling crowd of the graduates’ triends, which jammed the entrance to the opera house as soon as the doors were opened, A nominal admission fee was charged. The opera house was profusely decorated in honor of the event, The boxes were draped with bunting of white and blue intermingled with the High school colors. The classes of '93 and '94 occupied the boxes. The seating capacity of the house was not sufficient to accommodate the im- mense crowd. It seemed as though “all Omaha was there.” The foyer was packed and seats on the radiators were at a pre- mium long before the clock struck the hour of 8. | stdes was stage MEMBERS OF THE CLAS: When the members of the graduating cla marched upon the stage they received an ovation. The class of '95, with colors of apple green and white and a_motto of “Ne Tentes Aut Perfice,” consisted of: Sadla _P.

The program was introduced with an over- ture by Butler's orchestra, followed by a splendid essay on “The Infiuence of Decay by Miss Anna Anderson. lvin A. delivered an oration on “Life Insurance.” He favored the idea and advanced a sound argument Miss Eva Hamilton won honors easily by her happy thoughts of “The Novel as a Means of Reform,” an essay teeming with originality. An instrumental duet, “Seville,” from Bergson, was the next number in which the participants, Misses Othelia Karbach and Helen Mackin, received the plaudits of the audience, which evidently knew a good thing. Miss Ella Phelps’ essay, “The Modern Oracle,” was one of the best features of the evening. The banjo club of *95, consisting of Misses Ruth Plerson, Grace McMillan, Grace Leon- ard and Messrs. Sam Burns, jr., John T. Sumner and M. G. Colpetzer, was greeted with an encore when the strains of the Franklin_march expired, and played the “Merry Traveler's Quickstep.” ‘Echo and the Ferry,” from Jean Ingelow, was recited by Miss Kate B. Swartzlander and received the applause it fully merited. During the intermission between the first and second parts the orchestra rocked the cradle of a new song of pretty melody en- titled “It Will Never Rain if You Take Your Umbrella,” the words by Waldo P. Warren of the High echool and the music by Harry Izard, a local composer. Part second of the program opened with music, followed by an oration on “The Con servative Laws of Nature,” by Hal T. Beans. Mr. Beans' achievements were in consonance with the general excellence of the exercises and he was greeted with a demonstration of fayor. Miss Nellie Gamble, whose beauty ap- pealed to the silent admiration of all who saw her, stepped to the front with a bouquet of red roses in her right hand and spoke entertain- ingly upon the subject of ‘“The Modern Joan of Are.” The “sword of flowers” in the speaker's hand was the index of her re- marks. It was the weapon of the modern Joan of Arc, compared to the weapon of the Maid of Orleans, whose steel and armor made history. Wagner's “Tannhauser,” under the pro- ficient touch of Misses May Ballou and Anna Nordwall, divided the musical honors of the evening. Edwin T. Chapin spoke of “The New South,” from the famous speech made by Henry W. Grady. Mr. Chapin's reproduction of the great Georglan's sentiment was r celved with a prolonged manifestation of ap- proval from those fn front Miss Edith M. Kuehne's clever essay on “The Power that Rules the World" shared in the rhetorical triumphs of the evening DR. MARBLE'S ADDRESS. Dr. A. P. Marble, superintendent of in- struction, then delivered his annual address and the popular educator was extended a cordlal greeting as he arose to face his ad- mirers. In substance the doctor reviewed the work of the elass with pride, and after show- ering eulogies upon the graduates he gave them some excellent advice. He sald that the eyes of 10,000 school children were upon them tonight and their achievements would be an Inspiration for students who were still In the ranks. He wished each and every one of them smooth sailing on the ocean of life. Colonel H. €. Akin, president of the Board of Education, presented the diplomas. Each recipient was vigorously applauded. At the conclusion of the presentation and amid class yells the orchestra struck up an in- spiring medley. When the music died away and the program was at an end the grad- uates were overwhelmed with flowers and congratulations, the commencement reached its climax and another link was added to a chain of unbroken successes.

The twenty-eighth annual council of the dlocese of Nebraska convened yesterday at Trinity cathedral. Twenty-eight clorgy and forty lay delegates were in attendance, The session was opened by the celebration of the holy communion at 10 o'clock, Bishop Worthington being the celebrant Rev. Carion Goodale acted as epistolar anl Very Rev. Dean Gardner as gospelar, Canon Whitmarsh assisting. In place of a sermon the bishop read annual in which he gave a - mary of the ten years’ work of the diocese; noted the clerical changes, and deplored th frequency of the changes in pastorates. The clerical force had increasel in numbers, he d, but it has been touched by the restless spirit of the age, This has tended to retard the extension of God's kingdom. Be the fault where it may, it had interfered with permanent work. The Mission board, he said, had determined on a revision of its methods, the field now to be divided Into four divisions under four archdeacons. Attention was called to derelictions in_offerings for the Disabled Clergy Fund, the Theological Fund and the Episcopal Endowment Fund. This arose in some parishes from a disregard of the church resolutions passed supporting these lines of work. The importance of cultiva- ting the missionary spirit was dwelt upon and the clergy reminded not to neglect to keep the people informed on the needs of missionary work. The ‘bishop hoped that the evening celebration of the holy com- munion would be dispensed with, as un- Catholic and without satisfactory basis. R ferring to the pastoral letter to the House of Bishops he said that it was not claimed that it bad a coercive power to bind the clergy, but made very clear in theological terms and ecclesiastical language that which the church believed. It met a necessity in_a time of disloyalty and faithlessnes “We earnestly hope,” said the bishop, “that the letter has been read in the churches of the diocese and that its contents have been made the basis of clear and explicit in struction from the pulpit.” Referring to church statistics, the bishop said that the educational institutions were adequate to the needs of the church. He complimented the various charitable institutions for their merciful work and called attention to the importance of the labors of the Woman's Auxiliary and the Brotherhood of St. An drews. Every parish, he urged should have both these lines of work well pushed to the front. After roll call and the re-election of the secretary and assistant secretary the coul il adjourned for lunch The afternoon session of the council was called to order at 2:30 o'clock and a number of important standing committees were ap- pointed by the bishop to make reports later on church extension, education, legislation, etc. Reports were received from a number of committees, the treasurer submitting a financial report indicating a fair condition of finances for the council. The benevolent institutions also put.in reports, including the Clarkson hospital: and Brownell Hall On motion of Dean Gardmer a committee was appointed to make report this morn- ing relative to Decoration day, expressing the sense of the council that it is wholly in sympathy with the day and what it stands for. In the evening at Trinlty cathedral mons were preached on missions by Re J. P. D. Llwyd and Rev. A. E. March. The latter comes from the extreme western por- tion of this diocese, being located at Cen- tral City, where he has charge of a parish, now nearly self-supporting, besides doing missionary work in adjacent towns, He divided the agencies for the spread of Christ's kingdom into two branches. He placed the efiicacy of prayer first, and added that the preparation of a map indi- cating the mission fleld, with its stations, is an important and necessary adjunct. He exhibited such a map of Nebraska, indicat- ing the need for missionary effort. A owa DISMISSED his address, ser- BOODLE SES Cloud Removed from the Woodhury County Ex-Ofcers at Sioux ¢ ity.

ANNOUNCEMENTS, A feat which will astonish the sclentific world will be essayed by Paul Alexander Johrstone, the great mind reader, this after- noon at Courtland beach. At that hour Mr. Johnstone will dive into the murky waters and recover from its slimy bed at the bottom of the lake a privately marked needle which | bad been previously thrown there by a com- mittee. Scientists have held that water wa an impenetrable barrier to the transmission of thought. On tomorrow Johnstone will demonstrate the fallacy of such a belief. The feat 1s not altogether devoid of danger, but on the other hand the per cent of danger Is largely against the young psychological student. Only once before has such a test been attempted and that by Mr. Johnstone at Kansas City, -a week ago Sunday. At that time Mr. Johnstone was thrown into a state bordering on complete catalepsy and it was only by the hardest sort of work by attending physicians that he was brought to a normal condition, In regard to the attendant danger of the feat Johnstone jocularly remarked to a Bee reporter: I can afford to take such risks. At best I can live but three years and why not while I live give my time and life, It necessary, to the interest of science. If I die I can at least know that I lived in the interest of a good and worthy cause I am to scientists an enigma and if T can act as a medium between scientists and the occult beyond T will gladly do so.”” The test will be held under the auspices of Sherift Drexel, Johnstone, heavily blindfolded, will leave the Merchants hotel at 4 o'clock, mount an electric car and mentally directed by Its motorman run it to Courtland beach. Ar- riving there he will dive from an elevation into the water and get the needle. The test Is bound to be successful as Johnstone has bargained his reputation and future against the successful culmination of his quest. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. J. H.
